That kind of person, if given a chance to catch his breath, he would definitely take revenge on her whole family.
However, he wouldn't be foolish enough to tell his two uncles that it was already difficult enough for them to go against their principles and coerce him. He would handle the rest himself.
········
Since his granddaughter returned to the countryside and Uncle Bai went back to work, Grandpa Bai has taken to visiting neighbors and playing chess or doing calligraphy and painting with the other old men.
That day, he was humming a little tune as he walked back to the courtyard with his hands behind his back when he saw that the main courtyard was surrounded by people. He had a bad feeling and was about to go to the factory to find Bai Laosi when he was surrounded by the members of the Brother Committee.
"The old man is back?"
With a wave of his hand, the leader surrounded Old Master Bai with his men.
Knowing they meant no harm, he remained calm. He gave a look to the kid next to him in the crowd, who nodded and left.
"Oh dear, what brings such a distinguished guest to our door? What business does he have with this old man?"
The leader chuckled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "Old man, we received a report that you have overseas connections. The claim that you and your son and daughter have severed ties is fake; you are still in contact with them."
"Someone come here and invite the old man to the security office for some tea."
When Old Master Bai heard that the report was made about this matter, a huge weight was lifted from his heart. He had no way of contacting them. How easy is it to contact someone who has gone out?
He had long been mentally prepared to never see his son, daughter, and their family again in this lifetime.
This is why Nannan dared to tell him about that wondrous jade pendant; because here, he only had Nannan as his bloodline.
Of course, no matter who he is, even with his family around, he would never tell anyone about Nannan's secret. She was the child he had raised with his heart and soul for over a decade, the person he trusted most. Their bond of over ten years had stood the test of time.
This time, they've falsely accused him of having connections overseas; they're probably targeting this old codger. But baseless accusations are the easiest to dispel, and he's not afraid of this petty stunt.
"Director, you've misunderstood. The statement about severing ties is true, but I have no idea where they went. As for contacting them, that's pure nonsense! I hope the leaders will investigate this matter thoroughly and not let this old man, who has donated all his assets and just wants to spend his old age in peace, feel disheartened."
The Bai family was the pioneer in this matter. If their fate is bad, what will other onlookers think?
The leader narrowed his eyes, knowing that this old man was not easy to deal with. In fact, he didn't want to either, since the Bai family's achievements were a model to be publicized throughout the country.
There was nothing they could do; the higher-ups had something on them that the other party could use against them. All the other party had to do was force Old Master Bai to achieve his goal; they wouldn't take their family's lives. That's why the boss nodded in agreement.
Therefore, he leaned close to Old Master Bai's ear and whispered, "Don't panic, sir. We just invited you for tea. Once we've investigated, we'll release you."
He didn't dare to offend the man too much. After all, this man was a prominent figure in Shanghai, and even his superiors hadn't wanted him dead. He, a nobody, had to be careful.
Old Master Bai immediately understood; he had guessed correctly, someone was targeting the Bai family.
However, he has nothing left on the surface, so what can he possibly offer to others?
"Oh, is that so? But without concrete evidence, I have the right to raise objections, right? Well then, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll call my child and give him a few words of advice, so that when he comes back and can't find me, he won't think something has happened to me and cause you trouble by randomly looking for people."
The other person understood what he meant, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He just needed to cooperate. As for finding someone, as long as it wasn't someone to make things difficult for him, that was fine. There were higher-ups backing him up, and he, a mere underling, couldn't worry about that much.
"Okay, please go ahead."
Old Master Bai returned to his room, made a phone call to Bai Lao Si, gave him a few instructions, and then left with them.
