"So what if I am?" Shi Xi retorted sarcastically.
She was telling the truth; the second young master of the Bai family was indeed inferior to the eldest young master.
This is Di Chenxiao's territory, and she has Di Shi and Thirteen by her side. She can also fight herself, so there's no reason for her to be afraid of Bai Yaoyang.
Shi Xi pushed aside the two people blocking her way and confronted Bai Yaoyang directly.
The man who was initially angry began to pretend to be a refined gentleman again after seeing Shi Xi, and said with a smile, "You're wrong. Bai Yanlang is not as good as me. I am now the head of the Bai family. No one dares to disagree with me. Even Bai Yanlang can only obediently listen to me."
Shi Xi: "..."
Where did this idiot come from!
Or does she look like a fool and is easily fooled?
“The price of beef will definitely rise sharply in the future,” Shi Xi said, turning to look at Di Shi.
"Why?"
"People on the ground have been exaggerating the value of cattle, but cattle are scarce, so supply is less than demand, and that's why prices have gone up."
"Pfft—" Indra couldn't help but laugh and said, "Indeed, I think there must be quite a few cows flying in the sky."
Thirteen's tightly clenched lips also turned up slightly, though not very noticeably.
Bai Yaoyang didn't understand what Shi Xi meant at first, but he understood after Di Shi explained it in simple terms.
"You...you don't believe me? I've taken a liking to you today. Either you come with me voluntarily, or I'll take you away."
He had never seen the three people in front of him in Country A. The three were not in the room, but were standing at the top of the stairs. He guessed they were people without any identity or background.
The Bai family is a powerful and influential family in Country A, and he is the most beloved person in his family. For him, wanting a mere woman is a piece of cake.
Shi Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "I remember Master Chen had a rule that there should be no kidnapping of girls in the black market this year. It seems that Second Master Bai has overstepped that rule."
The title "Second Master Bai" emboldened Bai Yaoyang. "I don't care about any of Master Chen's rules. All I know is that you should enjoy life while you can, or you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
He was determined to have both of these women, no matter what.
Master Chen wouldn't go against the Bai family for the sake of two insignificant people.
"Hmm—so, Second Master Bai, you're determined to take me by force!" Shi Xi said jokingly.
She seriously doubted whether Bai Yaoyang, who knew about women, was really Bai Bai's biological brother.
The book mentions that Bai Bai's transformation into a cold-blooded and ruthless person was largely due to his younger brother. Before meeting Bai Yaoyang, Shi Xi believed that Bai Yaoyang was more cunning than Bai Bai.
It seems she was overthinking it!
"Go, grab this woman." Bai Yaoyang commanded the bodyguards behind him, but after waiting for a long time, no one stepped forward to grab her.
"What are you all standing around for? Go and arrest people."
...
Still no one moved.
The bodyguard said with a troubled expression, "Second Master, Master Chen has a rule that the abduction of women is not allowed in the black market."
Their employers never consider the consequences of their actions; they only know how to order them around, and when something goes wrong, they blame them for it.
They didn't have a powerful employer, and they only became Bai Yaoyang's bodyguards for survival.
If they offend Master Chen, their very survival will be in question.
At worst, they would lose their jobs if they disobeyed Master Bai's orders, but if they offended Master Chen, they might lose everything.
They've already taken a huge risk to arrest the woman they already have; they can't afford to arrest a second one.
Bai Yaoyang slapped the bodyguard closest to him hard. "Fine, if you won't do it, I'll arrest him myself."
