He Lingyu looked at her sister in disbelief.
He grabbed her arm and shook it repeatedly, complaining, "Sis~~~ Why are you thanking him? He's the one who caused all this trouble, and he's been dragging us down with him all this time."
Qin Bai picked up an orange, slowly peeled it, and popped a segment into his mouth.
Not bad, it's quite sweet.
However, you can't eat too much of this, or you'll turn into a little yellow man.
Seeing that he had no intention of explaining, He Lingyi had no choice but to continue:
"The He family has long been associated with the military. Even if they appear to be on good terms with Li Hongbing, they are still scheming against each other behind the scenes."
He Lingyu puffed out her cheeks as she looked at Qin Bai's nonchalant attitude.
"I know, but what's with this open and blatant fighting?"
Qin Bai swallowed the orange: "No, how old are you? Why do you still like to fantasize? Do you think he'll treat me like his father if I don't confront him to his face?"
"You..." He Lingyu stomped her feet in anger.
He Lingyi smiled and said, "The words may be rough, but the meaning is sound." She turned to Qin Bai and asked, "What do you think the Li family's attitude is?"
"Take them all at once," Qin Bai said casually.
He Lingyi frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
"Li Hongbing's main purpose in coming here this time is for the Luo family. I was just about to point my finger at him and curse his ancestors for eight generations, but he didn't even have his bodyguards tie me up."
"Could it be because of pressure from the military that..."
Qin Bai waved his hand, interrupting her: "Second Aunt, even if the military intervened, he shouldn't have been that timid just now."
"So what exactly is he afraid of?"
"Of course, it's a joint effort between me and the Luo family."
He Lingyu's eyes widened: "How is this possible? You were fighting to the death in Kyoto, how could you join forces?"
Qin Bai laughed and said, "Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, let alone a person?"
"Haha, so you finally admit you're a dog?" He Lingyu finally found the loophole in his words.
"When adults are speaking, children who have nothing important to say should go to the side and not interrupt."
He Lingyu bared her teeth and glared at him fiercely.
Fearing a real fight between the two, He Lingyu quickly said, "So, Li Hongbing has limited resources and doesn't want to offend both of you at once?"
"More or less. He wants to settle the matter at hand first, and then turn around and kill me."
He Lingyi nodded: "Actually, I've heard a bit about Li Hongbing. He used to organize some shady things when he was abroad. Now that he's back in China, he'll probably be even more adept at it."
Qin Bai sighed, "Ugh, this is tough! I shouldn't have taken on this bidding project. Now I'm being forced to choose sides. It's so troublesome."
He Lingyi asked with a smile, "If you really had to choose, what would you choose?"
"How can we choose? There's no way to choose at all."
Qin Bai leaned his head back in the chair, looking up at the intricate maze on the ceiling.
"You all think that I don't take sides because I don't like trouble."
Isn't that so?
Qin Bai said somewhat helplessly, "There are some reasons for that, but not all of them."
"Second Aunt, think about it, if I choose the military as my backer, what will happen to Luo Yuquan and Yin Ning'an?"
"If you help someone for so long, only to have them benefit your opponent, what prestige do they have left in the political arena?"
"By the same token, if I choose the other side, how should Second Uncle and Aunt Yue deal with this?"
"Even if those in higher positions don't say anything, they're definitely dissatisfied, so..."
"I dare not choose, and I cannot choose."
The anger on He Lingyu's face gradually disappeared.
This was the first time she had ever heard Qin Bai say these words from the bottom of his heart.
I always thought he wanted to get rid of Kyoto as soon as possible, and then travel the world with his girlfriends and enjoy life.
The label of "lacking ambition" was practically plastered on Qin Bai's forehead.
You can never see all the scenery unless you stand on the mountaintop.
She didn't consider these things from Qin Bai's perspective, which is why she missed the right viewpoint.
Looking back now, Qin Bai's words made a lot of sense.
He's a man, and all of them have helped him. What should he do if they turn against him one day?
He may be aloof to strangers, but he always treats those he considers friends with his whole heart.
He Lingyi said, "We really didn't think this through. I'll talk to your second uncle about it later."
"Then thank you very much, Second Aunt."
"However, what are you going to do about the situation right now?"
Qin Bai said calmly, "Let's take it one step at a time. Anyway, it's not targeting me right now. I'm quite looking forward to seeing how Luo He will handle this."
He Lingyu asked, "You should understand the principle of 'the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked,' right? After the Luo family is controlled, you'll be next, won't you?"
"It doesn't matter. If the sky falls, the taller ones will hold it up. What's the use of me worrying about this?"
He Lingyi sat opposite him, leaning closer.
"I'm going to ask you a question, so tell me the truth."
"Okay, go ahead."
She stared intently at Qin Bai: "Will you help Luo He or not?"
"Huh?" Qin Bai looked at her in surprise and said with an exaggerated expression, "Second Aunt, what are you saying? Don't forget, Luo He and I are the kind of people who are going to dig up the ancestral graves across the street. Although I don't have that thing, it's not like I'm going to help him."
"real?"
"Authenticity guaranteed".
He Lingyi sighed inwardly.
Without Li Hongbing's involvement, she would be happy to see the Luo family change its head.
Whoever it is, they are all better than the heartless old Deng from Luohe.
Years ago, Luo Hongqing was treated unfairly, and she harbored a deep resentment.
They're all sons, so why do you all ignore my husband just because he's a little slow? If it weren't for Luo Qingyan and Luo Yuquan's help, she might have lost this marriage.
Therefore, she had absolutely no good feelings towards Luohe.
But now.
It's quite a dilemma for an outsider to try to control the Luo family, especially since it might include people they care about.
If Luohe is really brought down like this, they probably won't have a good life from now on.
The key point is...
The military has not reacted at all, as if they have tacitly accepted this.
Qin Bai stood up, walked to the refrigerator, opened the door, and took out a bottle of juice.
After unscrewing it, I took a big gulp: "Wow~~~ That's great, so refreshing and delicious."
Then he took out another bottle and placed it in front of He Lingyi.
"Second Aunt, someone has actually asked me this question before."
He Lingyi suddenly looked up, and she sensed something else in those words.
"Is your answer the same as before?"
"Pretty much, but you all seem to have overlooked one issue."
"What?"
"No matter what happens, there will always be someone who benefits in the end."
Qin Bai asked with a smile, "Second Aunt, who do you think will ultimately benefit from this whole mess?"
......
