Chapter 96 Bai Yu and the Second Person
As Xu Qiang slowly narrated, the truth of what happened back then began to slowly unfold before Xu Qingyan's eyes...
"then……
I once accidentally wandered into Bai Yi's study. Bai Yi prides himself on being aloof and has always disliked people entering his study, so I was very nervous after that visit...
I'm afraid that if someone finds out and tells him, he'll kick me out of the Bai family...
I wanted to get out of there while no one was around, but then I heard footsteps outside the door. I quickly hid behind a bookshelf in Bai Yi's study...
I was incredibly nervous, terrified he'd see me, but Bai Yi simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to anything else at the time..."
"What happened?" Xu Qingyan held his breath, as if he were there himself...
"At that time... two people came into the study..." Xu Qiang recalled carefully, as if he still couldn't figure it out after all these years, his eyes narrowed, his face deep in thought...
Who is coming?
"Two men came..."
One was tall, the other short. The tall one was handsome and spirited, while the short one was timid and cowered in the back. I don't even remember his face to this day..."
"What are they here for?" Xu Qingyan asked curiously.
"They...have come to reunite with their relatives..."
"Recognizing relatives?! What kind of relatives are you talking about?"
"Of course, it's about recognizing the Bai family as relatives..."
The tall man immediately stated his name: his name was...
Bai Yu...
He actually claimed to be Bai Yi's half-brother! He said he was there to acknowledge his ancestry!
Bai Yi actually has a brother, and no one has ever heard of this in all these years..."
Even now, Xu Qiang can't help but express his amazement when he talks about what happened back then.
"Bai Yi's brother?! Did Bai Yi acknowledge him as his relative?"
"I accept it...because that person came with a token..."
"What kind of token is it?"
"It's a letter written by Bai Yi's father! But..."
Although Bai Yi had accepted the marriage, he was wary of this person's appearance. He said he had accepted this brother.
But in reality, he has never revealed the existence of this person to outsiders...
Only I, through a chance encounter, and Bai Yi's two trusted confidants at the time, knew...
"Two trusted confidants? Who are they?" Xu Qingyan asked curiously.
"One is Bai Yi's sworn brother, and the other is one of Bai Yi's most capable managers."
Are they still there?
"The person in charge died along with Bai Yi in that purge, but Bai Yi's wet nurse brother is still alive..."
But it's no use anymore, he's long since become a madman..."
"Oh~ Dad, is that person behind you Bai Yu?" Xu Qingyan asked cautiously.
"Hmph! You're not entirely stupid, kid. That's right, it's him!" Xu Qiang said smugly. "Bai Yu has given me quite a few benefits over the years..."
"Really?! How did you manage to get in touch?"
Speaking of this, Xu Qiang was also puzzled, "Actually, I've never been able to figure it out either..."
At the time, I was hiding behind the bookshelf because I was really curious about who the person who came was, which was why Bai Yi's voice sounded so flustered...
So I peeked out quietly, and as soon as I saw what the two people were, I quickly lowered my head again...
