Time is a strange thing.
When you're playing the game, it whizzes by, faster than a rocket.
Before you know it, your "I'll go to sleep after winning one game" flag will be up until the sun rises tomorrow morning.
When you're studying, it's like a demon staring at you. You study for ages, and when you look up, exactly three minutes have passed.
Qin Bai was more tired than a donkey during this period. He was constantly on the go, running around here and there, and there was never enough time.
When he woke up in the morning, he saw his mother pacing back and forth in the living room and couldn't help but ask, "Mom, aren't you dizzy?"
"It's nothing, I just feel a bit uneasy. Are you going to a banquet today?"
"Oh, a friend wants to retire from his life of crime and asked me to go and drain his water."
"Um?"
Cheng Jing's bad premonition intensified once again.
She knew why her son had come to Kyoto, but Qin Bai hadn't explained the specifics, and she hadn't asked, so as not to upset him.
However, I also heard the gist of it from several of the daughters-in-law.
She was quite proud of standing up to the entire Luo family for her young girlfriend.
A man should have some responsibility; he can't be like his dead father, who has no humanity whatsoever.
I may agree with it, but I'm still worried.
Cheng Jing asked, "Will there be a lot of people going today?"
Qin Bai sat down on the sofa and said, "Many high-ranking officials and merchants from Kyoto should be here."
Will anyone cause trouble?
"I'm very honest," Qin Bai said calmly.
He knew what the mother wanted to say, so he made it clear directly.
Cheng Jing patted his head: "Just go and watch the fun, it's best not to get involved in those people's affairs."
Qin Bai looked up with a strange expression: "Mom, it feels like I've gone back to when I was in school."
"ah?"
"When I was in school, you told me to try not to get into arguments with my classmates."
Did I say that?
“I did say that, but there’s a follow-up: you said… if anyone bullies you, you’d kill them.”
Cheng Jing couldn't help but laugh when she saw her son's fierce expression.
"Hehe, my expression isn't as exaggerated as yours."
"He's even fiercer than me, okay?" Qin Bai stood up and picked up his coat.
"Son, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"
"Come back! I want to eat crispy pork with rice crust, shredded potatoes, and dried tofu..."
Qin Bai recited the names of the dishes as he walked out.
Upon reaching the door, he turned around and smiled, "Mom, wait for me to come back."
Snap!
The door was closed.
"Yes, Mom is waiting for you," Cheng Jing murmured to herself.
Fei Yangyang and Gu Zichen stood by the car and went to greet Qin Bai when he came out.
"Qin, are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"
"Let's talk after we get in the car."
Out of the corner of my eye, I could still see that lonely figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.
Gu Zichen sat in the driver's seat, while Fei Yangyang sat in the back with Qin Bai.
"Qin, the Giles family is already outside the manor, and there's nothing going on yet."
Qin Bai tossed an earphone to Fei Yangyang: "Listen to my message, and don't make any rash moves."
What if someone comes?
"Don't resist, just surrender."
Boiling Sheep asked with a surprised expression, "What if you're in danger?"
Qin Bai laughed and said, "If someone really wants to deal with me, your small group of people can't cause too much trouble."
"Ha! I really don't believe it." Boiling Sheep pulled out Truth from his waist: "Even if I beat you to death, I can still get you out. My weapon is just as effective."
Qin Bai slapped his forehead and glared at Gu Zichen in front of him, asking, "Has this guy been spending more time with you lately? Why is his chuunibyou getting worse?"
“Strategist, Wan Zhou must have taught him all of this,” Gu Zichen said, feeling wronged.
"Alright, no matter who taught it, Boiling Sheep, listen to me on this. If a conflict really breaks out, we might not survive."
"Then why do you want me to lead those people to surround the villa?"
Qin Bai gazed outside with a deep look: "Testing the waters."
"What are you testing?"
"To test how much hostility those people have towards me."
"And the result?"
"It seems pretty good; at least someone is willing to see my people waiting outside."
Qin Bai patted Fei Yangyang on the shoulder: "Alright, you can go now. Old Gu and I will go over there."
"No, you have to let me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Bai had already opened the car door and pushed him out.
"Shall I come with you? I don't have a car." By the time Fei Yangyang finished speaking, the Maybach was already more than ten meters away from him.
"Damn it, I should have brought a driver. I'm such a big clan leader, and I have to take a taxi myself." Boiling Sheep grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Just then, a blue sports car pulled up beside him.
Boiling Sheep looked down, then asked in surprise, "How come you...?"
"Get in the car."
"Alright, now I have enough for the fare again."
Gu Zichen looked at Qin Bai, who had his eyes slightly closed, in the rearview mirror.
This guy is really patient; he's still acting all deep and serious even at a time like this.
"Old Qin, aren't you bringing your girlfriends with you?"
"They all have things to do."
"Huh?" Gu Zichen stared at the rearview mirror in surprise: "Yesterday, my young lady said she wanted to go watch the excitement and gossip."
“Your information is outdated; I told them about this last night.”
Gu Zichen did not ask any further questions.
Did you tell them this news from the Good Way?
