Chapter 176 The Bai Family Past
As if recalling something distant, Zhang Qing's eyes became misty again.
"I've experienced that scene countless times in my mind and in my dreams. I've been trying so hard to remember it."
But no matter how hard I try, I can't remember. I've trapped myself in that red memory, wanting to see but unable to see clearly, wanting to leave but unable to leave, and that's how I've gone mad for so many years...
Until recently, I vaguely remembered some things, such as the scene when Walter White was murdered.
I've thought about it for so many years, and I've finally remembered it, but remembering it has only made me more miserable...
Bai Yue was taken aback. "Why?"
Ye Ran and Lu Yi exchanged a glance. It seemed that the scene when her grandfather died must have been quite extraordinary, which was why Grandpa Zhang had been frightened for so many years.
Even... his mental illness over the years is not ordinary...
Zhang Qing covered her eyes in anguish. "That day, Lao Bai was taken away by someone. It was just a routine questioning before, but that time I felt particularly bad."
Because the people who came all had strange smiles on their faces, I followed them.
The interrogation staff wouldn't let me in, so I had to wait outside.
But while we were waiting, I saw a woman lead a group of people inside!
"A woman? Who is she?" Ye Ran asked aloud, but she already had a guess in her heart.
Zhang Qing sighed, "This is all the grievances of the older generation. That woman's name is Bai Yun. She was a woman that Old Bai's father, the eldest uncle, met outside."
This woman was very ambitious, and she kept saying that she wanted all of the Bai family's assets, but the old man at the time was really bewitched and agreed without hesitation.
It was only after the old lady intervened that the young master's reckless behavior was stopped.
Even so, the old man did not forget this woman; instead, he secretly kept her as a mistress.
Just one year later, the woman gave birth to a child, which looked like it was about to die at birth.
Baiyun told the old man a method she had learned from somewhere: to save the child's life by using the blood of the child's closest relative, a life for a life.
The old man was completely bewitched; he actually wanted to use the young Lao Bai to pay for the life of that illegitimate child.
The old lady was furious and drove the young master and the woman away. After that, there was no news of them.
Many years later, the woman's son suddenly showed up at her door.
At that time, Lao Bai and I knew what was going to happen next: either the old man would exchange lives for the child, or the woman would.
However, the person also brought a letter with them. The handwriting on the letter was from many years ago, so we guessed that it was the old man who went there back then.
When that person came, he didn't show anything, but Lao Bai and I were still wary of him.
After that, that person never appeared again, and we breathed a sigh of relief.
But at some point, we suddenly found ourselves being monitored.
There were also many informants among the household staff, which restricted all our movements.
We couldn't figure out who did it until I saw the white clouds appear, and then I knew.
