Lu Yan's pupils contracted sharply, his calm heart suddenly stirred by a ripple, but he quickly regained his composure and smiled slightly. "Didn't you say 'accomplice'? I was just afraid you'd ruin things."
Seeing that the man had resumed his deep and scheming demeanor, she felt that she must have been mistaken just now, and humphed, "I knew it."
This was the first time Lu Yan's mind had been so unsettled.
He was always calm, and the fact that he waited more than ten years to take revenge on Bai Chou was enough to show how cunning he was. Among all his plans, the most unstable piece was Xia Yixin. He found that she was increasingly able to disturb his emotions, which was something Lu Yan had never experienced before.
Reason was telling him to stop, that he shouldn't dwell on a single piece for too long, but it was as if Pandora's box in his heart had been opened, and for the first time, he lost sleep over a woman.
At the same time, this was also reflected in the male supporting character's happiness score, which fluctuated up and down until it finally recovered to 30 points.
The next day.
It is unclear whether it was because of Lu Yan's conversation with Old Master Lin, but in the following days, China announced a reorganization.
Several members of the Bai family resigned, including Bai Chou, who voluntarily resigned.
Various follow-up investigations are also underway.
...
As news reports emerged, Bai Chou's status in China plummeted. This was because the men Lu Yan had killed earlier were all his trusted confidants, and with their deaths, no one was willing to help Bai Chou anymore.
The Bai family also suffered a blow; their recent disappearance was no longer investigated, and Bai Chou was even suspended from his job.
Haishi is the Bai family's stronghold.
He learned that his greatest protector was gone.
Adding to the fact that he was stripped down from head to toe, Bai Chou angrily smashed his phone, yelling, "Damn bastards! Bastards! They're all a bunch of useless trash! Useless trash!"
Bai Chou is fifty years old. Apart from his eyebrows and eyes bearing some resemblance to Lu Yan, his physique and appearance have been completely ruined by his decadent lifestyle over the past few years. He has a potbelly, his hair on top is bald, his chin is three layers deep, and the fat on his body jiggles with his breathing.
He was furious and turned to look at the three people in the room who were keeping quiet: his son-in-law, godson, and nephew.
"I called the three of you here to give you a chance. Whoever kills Lu Yan, or brings that bitch Xia here, I'll make him the successor of the Bai family!"
Under Bai Chou's sweeping gaze, the three Bai family men were tempted, but...
"Dad, aren't you trying to kill us? You don't even dare to stay at the Bai family home, afraid he'll take action. Lu Yan isn't just a medical professor or a bookworm. They've all heard about his methods. Putting aside his fighting skills, his unpredictable and bizarre potions alone are enough to kill us several times over..." The godson was the first to object.
“That’s right, we originally wanted to deal with that bitch from the Xia family, but she actually has a group of people protecting her. And who knows how she recently saved the heir of the Su Group? With the Su Group abroad and that killing machine Lu Yan in China, who would dare to take her on? We’ve lost hundreds of assassins to them recently and are now drowning in debt. You haven’t been able to kill that old man in ten years…”
"Uncle, why don't we try to make peace with him? Why did you have to kill Lu Yan?"
That old fox, they're not going to be the first to stick their neck out!
Bai Chou's eyes were bloodshot. These three were juniors he had trained over the years, one of whom was his daughter's fiancé, a young master from a wealthy family. Looking at their cowardly appearance, Bai Chou could no longer suppress the roar in his throat.
"Get out...all of you, get out of here! A bunch of useless trash!"
The other three quickly slipped away.
Bai Chou chased everyone away, panting heavily with anger.
He was furious and resentful. He had devoted himself to China for more than ten years, but the person above him negated all his achievements with a single word. His forces were also scattered, and Lu Yan had killed so many of his people.
This kid had already made all the preparations when he appeared in the capital of China three years ago. He knew the location, habits, and connections of all his subordinates, and he might even know the location of his overseas strongholds...
No!
No way! The oppressive environment in China, coupled with Lu Yan's hidden threats, forces him to keep a low profile. But the power he has built up over the past ten years absolutely cannot be destroyed.
He can only hope that his allies abroad will be more supportive.
He immediately used the secret phone hidden in his study to dial a series of numbers. "Hello, is this Colonel Roflüster from Y country? I have something to discuss..."
“I agree to the demands that Country A made before. As long as you help me this time, Mr. John, the issue of the ownership of the discarded bullets is easy to discuss.”
“The Bai family can handle the business you mentioned before. I can let you pass through our territory in Country E.”
...
As he dialed phone numbers, he was unaware that the three third-generation he trusted outside the room had already obediently revealed all his locations at the hideout.
Bai Chou's godson was making a phone call outside the villa, trembling. As soon as the other party answered, he stammered, "Young Master Lu, no, elder brother! My dear brother! We've already told you what you asked for. When can you give us the antidote? We don't want to die!"
With the hands-free mode on, the other two men, who also looked terrified, echoed his sentiment.
"That's right, brother, I beg you, we've told you all of that fatso's hideouts and all his hiding places as you asked. We really don't want to die, I'm only 27!"
Just a few days ago, before Bai Chou fell from power, the three of them gathered at one of their homes for drinks. When they woke up, they found themselves tied up in an abandoned warehouse. What was even more terrifying was that they couldn't move their hands and feet, only their eyes and tongues.
