Bai Jingtang: “…”
Want to see.
Just as he was thinking about how to get Lin Su to let him take a look, there was suddenly a noisy sound outside.
"We can ask my young master to come out, you can't barge in!"
"Get out of here! I'm telling you, if this matter is verified, your Bai family will be in big trouble."
"Ah! Brother Wang, Brother Wang..."
The noise outside was extremely chaotic, mixed with the cries of pain from maids and servants. Bai Jinglang frowned, and when he heard a gunshot outside the courtyard, he walked out and said, "Stop! You just barged in like this, does Boss Liu know?"
In the yard, a servant was trembling, clutching his bloody arm. The leading man in shorts blew the smoke from his gun, looked at Bai Jinglang who came out of the door, and said, "Master Bai, this was approved by Boss Liu."
"What did the Bai family do wrong?" Bai Jinglang looked at him and asked.
"Wang Laizi is dead." The man looked at Bai Jingtang and said, "Killed with one blow."
"Dead?!" Bai Jingtang was a little surprised. "What does his death have to do with the Bai family?"
"He's had quite a few grievances recently." The man walked to the corridor with a few people and looked at Bai Jingtang and said, "But he offended Master Bai before and was inexplicably beaten. We suspect that there are experts around you. This time, it's not just one person who died, but several people, all killed with a single blow. The rickshaw driver we found didn't see him. Master Bai, do you know the murderer?"
The man's eyes were filled with ferocity. Bai Jingtang looked him in the eye and said, "If there is such a master, I would also like to meet him, but I really don't know him. If you don't believe me, you can search the Bai family inside and out. We will never resist."
His gaze remained unwavering. The man sighed and said, "We've been working together for so long, and I'm telling you the truth. The death of one or two hooligans isn't a big deal. What's important is that this happened on Boss Liu's territory. Many people saw it. If we don't find someone, we'll be in trouble, right?"
"I understand." Bai Jingtang took off his purse and handed it over. "I know you've all worked very hard, but this matter really has nothing to do with the Bai family. When did the person die?"
"Last night." The man took his purse and weighed it, his tone much better. "Last night at three o'clock in the morning."
"The Bai family's gate was already locked at that time. Everyone was asleep, so it's impossible for anyone to go out." Bai Jinglang glanced at the servant next to him and said, "Go check who went out last night?"
"Young Master, the door of Guiyuan is usually closed when Qinghuan is not performing. No one went out last night." said the servant.
"Okay, Young Master Bai has always been kind to others. We are not trying to put the blame on you. Since no one else is going out, we will leave first. You don't have to see us off." The man waved his hand.
"Okay, send Brother Wang out. If you catch the person, remember to let me know." Bai Jinglang said.
"No problem." The man came in with a few people in a grand manner, and left in a swagger.
After the people left, Bai Jinglang looked at the servant with his arms covered in blood and crying out in pain and said, "Go get a doctor to see him."
"Okay, young master." Another servant hurried away.
There were only two people left in the courtyard. A maid with two braids said, "Master, they are not here to investigate the case, they are clearly here to extort money. Wang Laizi is dead, so what does he have to do with the Bai family?"
"Shut up!" Bai Jingtang looked at her coldly and said, "Don't you know that the mouth can cause trouble?"
He rarely had a cold expression, and the girl replied hesitantly: "Master, I am just feeling sorry for you."
"There's nothing unfair about it. You just need to know that the Bai family is innocent. Don't say anything else." Bai Jinglang looked at her and said, "Go tell everyone in the Bai family not to talk nonsense. If I hear them, I'll kick them all out."
"Yes." The girl lowered her head.
Bai Jingtang turned and went back into the house. His fingers were still trembling slightly as he sat on the chair. After a while, he looked at the rope loop on the handle of the chair next to him and asked, "Did you do this?"
"Yes." Lin Su said.
He answered without hesitation, and Bai Jingtang couldn't deny it even if he wanted to: "Why did you kill them? What happened?"
It was hard for him to imagine that the man who spoke to him so gently had blood on his hands. He killed everyone with one blow. How decisive that must have been.
"Because they deserve to be killed." Lin Su looked at him and said, "They robbed a rickshaw driver and then planned to go to his house in the middle of the night to visit his wife who was about to give birth next month."
Bai Jingtang's pupils dilated and he swallowed hard: "Visiting?"
It is definitely not a good thing for a few grown men to visit someone else's pregnant wife late at night, especially when those men are used to bullying men and women. If they act impulsively, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Yes, a visit." Lin Su's voice was a little cold. "I personally hate that kind of thing, so they can only die."
Bai Jingtang's heart sank slightly. He took a deep breath and said, "They really deserve to die..."
If they didn't die, more innocent people would have died.
"Are you afraid of me?" Lin Su looked at him and asked.
Sometimes, even if people know that what the other party is doing is just, they will still be instinctively afraid of such bloody scenes. Depriving people of their lives is indeed bloody and cruel.
"No." Bai Jingtang shook his head. "I'm not afraid. I'm just afraid of what would happen if you didn't stop them. I'm not afraid of you."
If he did something just but was still feared by me, he must be very sad.
He felt heavy in his heart, not because of fear, but because he felt that he didn't know the person in front of him well enough. He had only seen his gentle side before, but forgot that he could teach people a lesson without hesitation like when they first met, and could even stain his hands red to protect someone he had never met.
"Why are you so cute?" Lin Su looked at him, as if he was afraid that he would be sad. He reached out to pinch his cheek, and his eyes paused slightly when his fingers passed through. "It would be great if I could touch you."
Bai Jingyan's pupils dilated slightly, and his heart beat faster for no apparent reason. He turned his head away, swallowed his saliva, and said, "What are you talking about?"
My heart was beating so fast that I could hear it in my ears, and even taking a deep breath seemed unable to calm down.
It’s really strange, why is my heart beating so fast?
The death of Wang Laizi and his gang was widely circulated on Chang'an Street, and with various oral accounts, it became even more miraculous.
Some say that Wang Laizi was killed because he had offended the young master of the Bai family before.
Some also said that it was because he had done too many bad things and that he was being punished by heaven, otherwise the rickshaw driver would not have been able to ignore him.
Others said that they were killed by a hidden master, perhaps someone who could climb walls and could not bear to see what they were doing.
