For two consecutive days, Bai Zhijun waited near the entrance of the family compound.
Bai Yajing became wary of Bai Zhijun ever since she learned of his return.
She called Xiao Che and asked him to inform his family about it.
When Old Master Bai learned of this, he was quite exhausted. One problem after another had arisen, leaving him feeling mentally and physically drained.
"Ah Che, neither of our families are unknown in Beijing. It was only a matter of time before Zhijun came knocking on our door. Alas! What a misfortune for our family..."
Xiao Che was fearless. If anyone dared to come looking for trouble, he wouldn't hesitate to take care of them. He was never a soft-hearted person. His wife had a blood feud with Bai Yunchen's family, and he wasn't naive enough to think that Bai Zhijun would let Bai Yajing go.
"Grandpa, you mean we can't just sit here and wait to die, right? But after all, he's your own grandson, and I know you're reluctant to do it. What are your thoughts? You can tell me."
Grandpa Bai waved his hand with a smile, "I knew nothing could be hidden from you. Back then, Bai Yunchen repeatedly provoked us, and he had a blood feud with my mother. Nannan only held back because of me and didn't take his life."
And I spared them not simply because they are my blood relatives.
"Oh! You know how bad the social atmosphere is these days. One wrong move and everything is ruined... If she gets a reputation for patricide and fratricide, Nannan's future will be completely destroyed!"
How could his carefully groomed successor, his most beloved and cherished granddaughter, be ruined because of this?
Upon hearing this, Xiao Che felt a warmth in his heart. It seemed his wife was right; she was the most important person in his grandfather's heart.
Furthermore, if the couple secretly disposed of the person and the old man found out later, he would inevitably be heartbroken.
It would be better to plan things out with him from the start. Even if they still need to be spared in the end, it doesn't matter; she has plenty of ways to keep them silent and incapable of doing anything.
“Grandpa is right, and Ya Jing and I think so too. She can’t get away from the reception team right now, so it’s up to the two of us to handle it.”
Grandpa Bai smacked his lips a couple of times, feeling somewhat comforted. Nannan and Ache could have kept this a secret from him, but they still told him, which made him feel much better.
"Alright then, I'll go and talk to him first, and hopefully he can figure things out on his own."
Xiao Che nodded in agreement.
"He's been staking out your door for the past two days. He'll come looking for you as soon as you go out." He'll naturally send someone to follow you.
Grandpa Bai strolled out leisurely with his hands behind his back.
When they arrived at the entrance of the residential compound, they hadn't walked far when they indeed discovered someone following them.
With a sigh, he led his men to the woods on the outskirts of the city.
Once in the woods, he waited quietly for people to come out.
He wasn't kept waiting long; soon, a faint rustling sound came from behind him.
He turned around and saw a familiar face.
"Zhijun?? Why are you so thin? And why did you come back?" This was something he had been pondering for a long time. Logically speaking, the money he left for his several families and the money he prepared for Bai Zhijun was enough for them to live on for several lifetimes.
He really didn't understand why he had come back to take the risk.
Bai Zhijun was so excited when he saw the old man that he burst into tears.
He suddenly threw himself in front of Grandpa Bai, crying, "Grandpa... Waaaaah... Your grandson is suffering so much..."
Old Master Bai is confused. What's there to be sad about? All that money isn't enough for him to build.
"Tell me first, you were just staying there peacefully, how did you get involved in Country A again? And you even came back with their people?"
