"Hello, Uncle Bai, I'm here to talk to you about something."
She knew that her abrupt visit would frighten Bai Jingquan, and she also anticipated his strong reaction.
Perhaps he really has something she wants to know; his reaction is strong and his behavior is somewhat abnormal.
"We probably don't know each other, so what is it about me that you want to know?"
Bai Jingquan steeled his heart and spoke in a cool and indifferent tone. In fact, he guessed that Yan Xiluo's purpose in coming was most likely related to their backgrounds.
He was just too scared... They were all ruthless killers!
"Miss Yan, please have a seat. Let me pour you and Uncle Quan a glass of water."
Pang Jiayi knew he couldn't reveal his relationship with Yan Xiluo, so he chose to address her as Miss Yan to avoid arousing suspicion.
"Uncle Bai, I want to know, who wanted to kill you? And why did you jump into the river willingly? Also... why didn't you come back to look for Ranran? Do you know something? Or was someone threatening you?"
Yan Xiluo was also getting anxious, asking a series of questions. She knew the truth was not far away...
She was more anxious than anyone else...
She had a bad feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
"This... Miss Yan, why do you need to know this?"
Bai Jingquan clearly didn't want to talk about this; his eyes betrayed his fear...
His hands, resting on his lap, looked uneasy and somewhat flustered; these small movements were enough to prove that he knew important information.
This information relates to their backgrounds and provides clues for Yan Xiluo's investigation.
"Uncle Bai, I only want to know these things to help you. After these issues are resolved, you won't have to live like this anymore."
Yan Xiluo knew, of course, that it was not easy to live a life of stealing and hiding. As long as Bai Jingquan was discovered by those people, he would not be able to survive and would definitely be killed to silence him.
Another point is that Bai Jingquan's household registration has been cancelled, making him an unregistered resident, which will make his future life difficult.
"Of course, I'm also investigating what happened back then. It could very well have been a conspiracy. I want to bring the perpetrators to justice. Uncle Bai, good people have to live a life of secrecy while bad people go unpunished and live a comfortable life. Are you willing to accept that?"
Yan Xiluo clearly stated her purpose and knew that Bai Jingquan was suffering greatly and was very sad.
He knew that choosing to live now would be very difficult, and she was certain that Bai Jingquan knew some important clues.
“Miss Yan, is what you're saying true? Is it really a conspiracy? If so, I'm not satisfied! I'm willing to tell you the truth... However, knowing so much might bring you trouble…”
Yan Xiluo's words shook Bai Jingquan's resolve. He felt that what Yan Xiluo said was very true! He really didn't want to live this life of sneaking around anymore... He was unwilling to accept it!
He couldn't accept his daughter's death! He couldn't accept that those people wanted to kill him! He couldn't accept living this endless, hopeless life any longer...
I'm stuck in the house every day and can't go anywhere... If I'm discovered, someone will definitely come looking for me.
The murderer who switched the babies and killed his own daughter is living a good life, and now they're trying to kill him to silence him...
Is there no law? He believed in justice, but he was also worried that Yan Xiluo, a young woman, would get herself into trouble.
"Uncle Bai, you don't need to worry about this. Our Yan family has its own way of solving this problem."
Yan Xiluo's other identities cannot be revealed, but with the Yan family's strength, they can definitely find out what happened back then by following the clues.
It's just a matter of time...
"Alright! Then I'll tell you the truth, not for anything else but to seek justice for my dead daughter!"
Bai Jingquan made a huge decision and agreed to tell Yan Xiluo everything that happened that day; this was his only hope.
He knew that the person behind him was rich and powerful, and that he was powerless and had no way to fight against someone in power.
Fortunately, the Yan family had the means, so he could only place his hopes on them, not for himself, but for his deceased daughter...
She hadn't even had a chance to properly see the world...
Thinking of this, his eyes welled up with tears, and his eyes reddened...
“A dead daughter? Uncle Bai, didn’t you only have one daughter? How could this be…”
Yan Xiluo was also somewhat shocked to hear this. Although she had suspected that Yan Yinran might not be Bai Jingquan's biological daughter, she did not expect that Bai Jingquan's daughter had died long ago. No wonder he was willing to throw himself into the river...
“I don’t know who killed me, but the reason I jumped was because he told me that my daughter was actually dead long ago! Yan Yinran is not my daughter! He said that only if I died could she return to the Yan family, and that my existence ruined their plan. When I found out that Ling’er was not my child, I went to the other two families. I didn’t have the money to do a paternity test, so they did it with other children. The one that was left was my daughter… So I didn’t know before that Yan Yinran was not my daughter either.”
Bai Jingquan spoke painfully, his daughter had died long ago, and he was in excruciating pain; she was so young…
"When I heard that my biological daughter had already passed away, I felt utterly devastated. I told him not to do it, that I would end it myself so I could join my deceased wife and daughter. Anyway, there was no point in me living anymore... The only person I felt guilty towards was Bai Ling..."
This is why he willingly faced death and jumped into the river; he had lost the will to live.
His beloved wife and closest blood relatives are gone, so what's the point of him living?
"You mean, Ranran isn't your child, and your biological child died back then?"
Yan Xiluo was still in shock and couldn't recover for a long time. Such a small child, gone right after birth? Those people were utterly despicable...
Thinking of this made her very sad. They were destined to be together, born on the same day, month, and year... If they were still alive, they would be the same age...
"Yes... He said my child was switched... and then he didn't make it past the third day due to a sudden illness!"
Bai Jingquan closed his eyes, recalling the scene from that day...
remember:
Bai Jingquan, carrying a bamboo basket on his back and a sickle in his hand, was blocked in his path as he descended the mountain. The person was strange; he was wearing a black mask and dressed entirely in black.
"What...what are you going to do?"
Bai Jingquan was clearly frightened by the person dressed like that; he had only ever seen such an outfit on television...
But he clearly didn't provoke anyone, could they have come to the wrong person?
"Of course, I'm here to send you to the Western Paradise..."
The man in black spoke coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
