Chapter 198 White Smoke Counterattacks White Peony
"Chief Mo, you see, we've known each other for so many years. When Yanyan was around, you always took care of our Bai family, and outsiders were wary of your reputation."
But as soon as Yanyan left, our Bai family was bullied!
Take the Feng family's oil company for example. That area of sea was originally given to the Feng family by the Bai family for pearl farming, which gave the Feng family the opportunity to profit from it.
"Why can't the Bai family get a share of the profits from this oil company?"
The shamelessness of the Bai family head completely shattered Xia Yue's understanding of the world.
Truly, shamelessness knows no bounds.
Regarding the origin of the sea area, she had heard her brother say that the royal family owed a lot of debts to noble families, and when they couldn't pay them back, they used things as collateral.
The Bai family won the sea area lottery, but felt that pearls were not profitable, so they set their sights on the mineral veins that the Feng family had won, and used some means to forcibly exchange them with the Feng family.
Later, the Bai family discovered that the vein was located in an earthquake zone. After construction began, several minor earthquakes occurred, making mining impossible.
As for the Feng family, although their pearl business wasn't very profitable, at least they weren't losing money and were thriving.
Now that oil has been discovered on the seabed, the Bai family is even more envious.
If the person who traded the sea area for the mineral vein back then hadn't been the deceased former head of the Bai family, they probably would have dug up his grave and whipped his corpse for three days and three nights.
"Does Patriarch Bai mean for me to go head-to-head with the Feng family, the royal family, and the Qin family? Just for a mere substitute? You're dreaming too much!"
Qin Yeting mimicked Mo Xiao's tone, speaking forcefully and arrogantly, showing no respect for the Bai family whatsoever.
The Bai family head looked embarrassed. Indeed, the newly captured person only resembled Bai Yan somewhat.
Mo Xiao isn't stupid; he wouldn't take such a big risk.
He was just testing the waters.
It seems we need to come up with a different suggestion.
"Chief Mo, you've misunderstood. I was confused just now and misspoke. We can discuss this matter again!"
Actually, I know nothing about the oil business; I only know how to do ordinary business.
This year, a foreign conglomerate has emerged in country A, dealing in medical equipment. I am very optimistic about this company and want to acquire it.
To my surprise, even though I offered a very sincere price, the other party was completely unconvinced.
"If you can help me sort this out, I guarantee you'll win the heart of your beauty!"
The Bai family head, settling for second best, decided to eat a small fish first, hoping to make a little progress.
Xia Yue felt that the words "foreign group" and "medical equipment" sounded familiar.
Isn't this what Shen Xiangxiang's family does?
Qin Yeting continued his act, calmly asking the Bai family head, "Sure, what's the background of that foreign corporation?"
"Their surname is Shen, and they are a second-tier family in China. It's very simple!" The Bai family head deliberately simplified the matter.
Without mentioning that behind the Shen family, there is a merchant, and even the Qin family is helping them.
The young lady of the Shen family is on good terms with Xia Yue, which naturally leads to her also becoming on good terms with the Feng family.
Moving against the Shen family will bring nothing but harm.
He just wanted the pirate captain to agree to this.
Xia Yue secretly glared at the head of the Bai family. The Bai family and she were truly natural enemies.
First they targeted the Feng family, then they targeted the Shen family; they're practically asking for trouble.
Qin Yeting also found the Bai family troublesome and thought it best to eliminate this source of trouble after this matter was over.
"Okay, no problem with that." Qin Yeting pretended to agree, then urged, "Bring the person over quickly so I can take a look, just in case they don't look like him..."
"It's just like it! Absolutely! You can rest assured!" The Bai family head patted his chest and gave a guarantee.
But at the same time, Xia Yue and her companion waited and waited, but the white smoke never came out.
The head of the Bai family was also getting anxious.
Why haven't the people he asked Bai Mudan to bring arrived yet?
Three more minutes passed.
"Patriarch Bai, are you trying to mess with me?" Qin Yeting said coldly, his tone filled with anger.
"No, no, absolutely not!" the Bai family head hurriedly explained, sweat beading on his forehead.
"Then why haven't you brought the person over yet?"
"this……"
"What is this? Is this fun?" Qin Yeting raised his voice.
But in reality, he was just trying to cover up his emotions, fearing that the impersonation would be exposed and that the Bai family was secretly making arrangements.
Moreover, the black market exchange can't hold out for Mo Xiao for long.
Thinking of this, Qin Yeting said directly, "Since you can't bring her, then take me to see her! I want to see what kind of airs a mere stand-in has up her sleeve!"
"Yes..." the Bai family head reluctantly agreed.
He didn't know what was going on with Bai Mudan either, and no one came to deliver a message.
With no other option, under pressure from the pirate captain, he had to bite the bullet and lead the way.
He thought that this was Bai family territory, and the stand-in was under control; she was just a woman and there was no danger.
Little did they know, this seemingly weak woman was actually taking revenge on the precious young lady of the Bai family!
White Smoke is not a defenseless canary.
On the contrary, during her time as a concubine's daughter in the Bai family, she knew that she had to rely on herself to survive and protect her mother, so she deliberately intensified her physical training.
After arriving at Mo Xiao's place, she was imprisoned by him and forced to break her wings, which made her more vulnerable.
But once she escaped Mo Xiao, she grew at an extremely fast pace, learning to disguise herself and even retraining her body.
Just now, Bai Mudan came in and threatened her to obey, said that Mo Xiao had arrived, and even forced her to drink an aphrodisiac.
How could she accept this fate!
Taking advantage of Bai Mudan's smugness, she swiftly shoved the aphrodisiac wine into Bai Mudan's mouth and then slapped Bai Mudan hard!
