Dean Bai looked at the person sitting in front of him, neither humble nor arrogant, and once again felt powerless.
During this period of time.
His strongest feeling about the person in front of him was to keep his distance, because the person's "despicable" nature was deeply ingrained, and he would take advantage of any opportunity to gain something.
for example.
They said the Bai family had worked diligently for many years and deserved a broader stage.
Forcing the Bai family to stand against the empire is tantamount to treason!
He made sure there were no listening devices in the room.
Wiping away cold sweat, I asked someone to keep their voice down.
Dean Bai sighed, "How about we change our request?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Jian'er sighed and spoke nonsense with a straight face: "It's outrageous that a school principal would refuse to save his own father. You will pay a heavy price for your choice."
Dean Bai felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness. If it weren't for the extraordinary skills of the person in front of him, who also possessed the method to treat his father, he would have sent him back to where he came from.
They were to oppose the empire.
Do you think the Bai family got to where they are today very easily? Without being hated by thousands?
Qu Jian'er is such a troublemaker.
It's like the blender has come to life!
However, the conditions offered by Qu Jian'er were too tempting, successfully igniting his ambition.
The thought of the Bai family replacing the Sato family as one of the nine great families sent chills down his spine.
But at the same time.
It also has a touch of excitement.
Qu Jian'er's newly displayed metaphysical abilities shattered his materialistic beliefs, and he probably wouldn't even be able to properly face the school exam paper on the scientific outlook on development.
This also made him realize that Qu Jian'er was extraordinary.
But this was not enough to sway him.
He was completely convinced only after Qu Jian'er revealed her identity as the deputy director of the Special Bureau.
He let Bai Rushi talk to the people, while he got up to discuss things with the two elders of the Bai family.
Bai Wei asked in bewilderment, "When did you become the deputy director of the Spirit Special Bureau? By the way, what is the Spirit Special Bureau?"
Qu Jian'er waved her hand: "When you didn't know, it was nothing, just a small, insignificant unit."
Meng Qingyang/Bai Wei: "..." Hmm! ? This doesn't sound simple at all!
Bai Rushi was stunned and said, "The medical report says Grandpa won't live more than a month... Do you really have a way to save my grandpa?"
Qu Jian'er sighed, "Silly child, your sister will marry Qingyang in the future and become a member of my Qu family. I will never let her observe mourning before she is married."
Bai Wei: "..." Shut up already.
Meng Qingyang: "..." Please say more.
Bai Ru was confused: "Your name is Qu Qingyang?"
Meng Qingyang simply said, "My surname is Meng."
Bai Rushi was completely unable to follow Qu Jian'er's train of thought, and upon hearing this, he was even more bewildered.
Bai Wei, who was standing to the side, suddenly said seriously, "What are you planning? Only you would dare to think of overthrowing the empire."
Qu Jian'er's conversation with Dean Bai was not kept secret from them, which is why Bai Wei is still processing it.
Meng Qingyang, however, did not experience much of a fluctuation, because he was not originally an imperial citizen.
In his view.
If the empire were to change hands, he would prefer to return to the Meng family, persuade his family, and establish diplomatic relations with the empire!
Qu Jian'er didn't have much on her mind.
She simply wanted to see if, faced with absolute temptation, a family under the empire would possibly turn against them and point a gun at their former ruler.
Bai Wei, still shaken, advised, "The empire is indeed in a bit of chaos, but let's just let this matter go."
She was unaware that Qu Jian'er and Zuo Chen had already begun planning to bring down the empire; otherwise, she certainly wouldn't be calmly advising people like a concerned old woman.
***
District Chief Bai suddenly opened his eyes, which had been closed for rest: "She's the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau?"
After returning to the Bai family.
He sat down to rest in the study.
He was surprised to suddenly sense the excitement and panic in his son's voice.
After understanding the "negotiation" process.
He remained silent.
Dean Bai nodded: "Yes."
The old lady who was pouring tea hurriedly put down the teacup, her breath trembling as she caught her breath.
Ordinary people don't know this.
But they know.
The Lingte Bureau: An organization that, like the Greynet, operates independently outside the Empire.
Qu Jian'er was very young.
That way, he can secure his position as deputy director.
This means she is not as simple as she appears.
After pursing his lips, District Chief Bai said, "Does Madam still remember? More than a hundred years ago, when I first entered the Cabinet, I was invited to the palace to meet His Majesty for the first time."
Grandma Bai thought for a moment and said, "I remember, after you came back you locked yourself in your study for a long time. Qinghui had just been born then, and I complained to you that you didn't know how to take care of the family."
After confirming that no one else was present, District Chief Bai revealed a secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.
Among those who entered the palace that year.
Without exception, they were all infected with a curse, in order to prevent these powerful figures from betraying the royal family.
Thirty years ago.
The year Zuo Chen was born.
His Majesty went on a killing spree.
All those who oppose the royal family.
They all died in that bloody night.
He almost lost his life on the spot.
If he hadn't stood firmly behind the royal family, he would have been one of those purged.
In recent years.
He has been using illness as an excuse to shirk his responsibilities.
Even the Gu worms were removed.
He wants to gradually fade from the historical stage.
Enjoy your retirement.
However, the collapse of his mental strength and the invasion of the Gu worms had already pushed his body beyond its limits.
Even without test results.
He also knew he didn't have long to live.
Before a person dies.
They often regret it.
