"Sister, maybe father didn't mean it... maybe there was poison in that cup of tea..."
Before Bai Tao could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Yu's cold eyes.
Even though he was staying in this courtyard which was warm in winter and cool in summer, Bai Tao couldn't help feeling waves of chills enveloping his trembling body.
There’s no way, my sister Baiyu has been a genius since she was young.
She was so talented that the old man handed over the family business to her to manage a long time ago.
As the older brother who had always been suppressed, he couldn't bear it and went abroad to pursue his favorite medicine and tried to stay away from his sister.
But no matter how long he stayed abroad, his fear of his genius sister could not be eliminated.
Just a look from Bai Yu was enough to make him shut up subconsciously.
Even though he knew that the cold look was not directed at him, he still felt afraid.
"The purchase record of that bag of powder, the chat records with competitors, the secret bribery of company executives... I found all the hard evidence. None of them could be done cleanly."
"Do you believe that he didn't mean to harm Grandpa?"
Bai Yu said this, sighing helplessly at his brother who was afraid to accept the fact.
My father hated his grandfather because he did not give power to him, the eldest son, but instead gave it to a girl with a broken leg. Even though the girl with a broken leg was his own flesh and blood, he still hated her.
So, he couldn't help but murder the old man.
Bai Yu knew that her stupid brother would not be able to accept this for a while.
But she had no time to comfort her brother now.
When Bai Tao heard his sister's remarks, he just lowered his head without saying a word. No one knew what he was thinking about.
"Go look after Grandpa. He just needs some time to rest."
Bai Yu waved his hand and sent Bai Tao away.
After Bai Tao left, her expression changed from cold to solemn.
After returning from the hospital yesterday, she realized the hidden meaning behind the man's words and went straight to investigate the secret of her grandfather's illness.
After this famous genius in Zhonghai used his methods against her own people, she easily discovered the conspiracy of her useless father.
Angry? Yeah, sure.
However, since her grandfather was safe and had encountered extraordinary events, she did not pay too much attention to her father's dirty deeds.
After detaining him and handing him over to the judicial authorities and asking them to take good care of him, she began to investigate the mysterious man.
Even though she knew that investigating this extraordinary event might cause trouble, she couldn't help it.
Although the hospital’s cameras did not capture any image of the man, the scenes she saw in the hospital still echoed clearly in her mind.
With a whole new worldview unfolding before her, a self-proclaimed genius, how could she restrain herself?
Before long, some general information about the man was delivered to her.
But the more I read on, the harder it is to find any suspicious points.
Growing up in an orphanage in a third-tier city in the neighboring province, he lived a completely ordinary life.
Even if she took out the information from the drawer again and looked through it, she still had no clue.
"What on earth is that man..."
Bai Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling that he had faced an unprecedented challenge.
"Are you curious?"
The calm male voice sounded again, startling Bai Yu who was reading the information carefully.
But Bai Yu reacted quickly.
She looked in the direction of the voice calmly, and saw the man she saw in the hospital that day appear in front of her again.
This private study that belonged to her alone was walked into by the man in front of her casually without disturbing anyone outside the study.
"Yes, I am curious."
Bai Yu looked at this ordinary man seriously with hope on her face.
The more talented one is, the more uncontrollable curiosity one has about the extraordinary.
"Are you aware?"
Mr. Chen had a mysterious smile on his face.
Relying on the power of Xihe, that is, "the memories of the past are witnessed by the stars", Chen Sheng can obtain all kinds of information out of thin air as if he had turned on a cheat.
After placing the secret realm, he was eating spiritual fruits and singing in the secret realm when he "heard" Bai Yu, the guy he paid special attention to, talking about him.
So, he followed the light and appeared silently in the study.
"consciousness?"
"What kind of enlightenment?"
Bai Yu narrowed his eyes and did not directly answer whether he had realized it or not.
"The awareness of devoting oneself to the future of all mankind."
"Give light to mankind, just as the sun will always rise the next day."
Mr. Chen spoke out the organizational purpose that he had made up within sixty seconds, and stared at Bai Yu with his eyes that were shining with special effects.
Looking into Chen Sheng's eyes, Bai Yu felt as if he was looking directly into the sun.
Bai Yu avoided the gaze and fell into silence for a long time.
Seeing this, Mr. Chen began the speech he had prepared long ago.
"The abyss covets, monsters invade. Such things have happened repeatedly in history. Since we discovered the approximate method of using spiritual power, we have never stopped fighting back."
"Round after round, humans have never been a race that allows themselves to be killed at will."
"When monsters invade, we fight for the survival of humanity."
"In order to prevent the monster from harming his wife and children, the farmer put down his hoe and rushed to the battlefield; the child woke up in the fire and set out on a journey to avenge the whole village who were burned to death..."
"Be it out of hatred, belief, family, or voluntary sacrifice for the continuation of humanity...humanity has never stopped fighting back."
"When the world is at peace, the invasion of the abyss is repelled again. During the long period of peace, the warriors put down their armor and return to their original lives, not pursuing fame and fortune, hiding behind the heavy history of mankind."
Mr. Chen paused when he spoke this, then looked at Bai Yu who was listening attentively and revealed a satisfied smile.
In order to match this long-prepared speech, he simultaneously used the power of Xihe to control light, projecting a series of touching pictures with explosive special effects in the air.
The various scenes in the projection screen, coupled with Chen Sheng's patient and persuasive use of the emotional infectious ability derived from the power of Xihe, made Bai Yu deeply shocked.
Most people would believe what Mr. Chen said as he has been acting mysterious, fooling people, and showing a lot of extraordinary evidence in the past few days.
Bai Yu was no exception and was completely fooled by Chen Sheng.
She didn't expect that hidden in history there was such an organization that was not interested in fame or fortune and was willing to make sacrifices.
Such an ancient and lawful supernatural organization really shocked her and she didn't know what to say.
She wanted to doubt the truthfulness of Chen Sheng's words.
But Bai Yu also understood that it was not very difficult for a supernatural organization to hide its history from mortals.
Clearing memories, modifying history books...
There are too many means.
"Then you are..."
Bai Yu asked after pondering.
"Eternal day."
"We appear in times of crisis and hide in times of peace."
"Not seeking fame or fortune, but only to bring light to mankind."
Mr. Chen’s acting skills were superb, and he stared at Bai Yu with a solemn look.
As he finished speaking, the projection image in the air disappeared.
Staring at the projection slowly disappearing in the air, Bai Yu's thoughts were a little confused for a moment, and he obviously couldn't react to the excessive amount of information he received.
