That seems to be the case, but why does it feel like the third brother is deliberately setting me up?
Juanjuan looked down at her toes.
The eldest brother was right; the third brother had just said that he was setting him up.
Faced with his elder brother's scrutiny, Bai Yun'an skillfully feigned ignorance.
Just then, a figure reappeared at the doorway.
Bai Yunqi's eyes lit up, and he pointed to Bai Yunxing standing at the door.
"father!"
"The second brother's back! Go beat him up!"
Bai Tian:?
Hey! I'm got a short temper! I'm rebellious and nobody can control me! You want me to beat up the second son? I'll just do it? That's too embarrassing!
Juanjuan: ...
Sometimes, hearing my own inner voice makes me feel quite helpless.
Bai Yunxing looked at his older brother, who immediately started asking their father to beat him up the moment they met.
He pursed his lips, then, under everyone's gaze, lowered his head very sincerely and said, "Father, I was wrong. I shouldn't have run away on my own. Although I left a note, I still shouldn't have done it! Please punish me!"
Bai Yunqi's pupils trembled slightly!
[No! This situation is really unfavorable for me! My second son usually seems so honest and obedient, I never expected him to be so cunning!]
Bai Yun'an watched from the corner, unable to resist a slight smile.
[My older brother is really a handful, but it's obvious he enjoys it too. He's a masochist, even though Dad can't really torture him.]
I can't do something so boring!
The thoughts of the eldest and third brothers echoed in Juanjuan's mind almost simultaneously.
Juanjuan's gaze fell on her father.
Then, she saw her father, who had just been scolding her older brother, cough twice in a very serious manner.
"It's true that he shouldn't have sneaked out in the middle of the day, but at least he knew to leave a note for his parents and run a couple of laps around the yard in the evening!"
After Bai Tian finished speaking, he turned to look at Bai Yunqi and said, "Stop running! You've already run quite a bit!"
"yes!"
Bai Yunxing nodded in agreement, seemingly feeling that this was the proper thing to do.
Bai Yunqi raised an eyebrow slightly.
[I didn't expect that although Dad didn't beat the second son, he punished him! It actually felt like he was treating them fairly.]
Bai Tian nodded in satisfaction: [They still need to be punished, otherwise the boss will feel it's unfair, after all...]
Disharmony among children is often a result of the elders' lack of virtue.
"Mother, Father, Manager Cao is dead..."
Bai Yunxing suddenly spoke, revealing shocking news.
But in reality, only Bai Tian and Jiang Dai were shocked.
After Bai Yunxing recounted in detail what he had just witnessed, both Jiang Dai and Bai Tian sensed that something was amiss.
Bai Tian: [No way! I've become Conan? Wherever I go, someone gets murdered?]
Jiang Dai: [Is this the protagonist's influence? Do I really have to deal with this with Bai Tian? Laughable, just the two of us? Just hope we don't get killed!]
"Things have been a bit unsettled lately, so you kids shouldn't run around. Starting tomorrow, Bai Tian will be taking them to and from school!"
Jiang Dai's first concern was for her four youngest children.
Then, he called Bai Tian back into the house to analyze the current situation.
In the yard, the voices of her three older brothers echoed in Juanjuan's mind, a cacophony that made her nervous and impossible to ignore...
The three older brothers were thinking about things that were extremely exciting and crucial.
The eldest brother was wondering who the second brother really was, and even whether the third brother and she had also changed partners.
Her second brother was still thinking about the Northern Barbarians, the Delicacies Pavilion, and the strategist. She didn't quite understand what he was saying, but she thought it was very impressive.
Third brother...
As soon as Juanjuan turned her head, she saw her third brother staring at her.
Those smiling eyes seemed to see right through her thoughts.
[Tsk! This little guy's favorability rating has gone up again, great! The more I look at this child, the more pleasing he becomes.]
Juanjuan relaxed and smiled at her third brother.
That's good, Third Brother didn't suspect her.
Bai Yun'an lowered his gaze slightly: [I just don't know what Second Brother's identity is. His actions seem... as if he's trying to establish contact with someone!]
[Especially that blueprint; it's not used for making blacksmithing tools, nor is it for sale; it's just being kept there, as if waiting for someone to come and collect it!]
Could it be... that Second Brother was originally from here?
Juanjuan couldn't help but take a small step back, then quickly squatted down, as if her legs had gone numb.
But only she knew that her third brother... was incredibly powerful.
How could you guess that!
