Chapter 53 The Feng Family Brothers and Sisters Visit
Nothing special happened in the next few days.
Bai Jincheng still runs back and forth between the department and home every day. He looks very tired. Bai Jin still did not have any further communication with Bai Jincheng. He seemed to be sulking and waiting for his son to give him the result he wanted. Ouyang Wanjun was worried about the safety of her younger son, and at the same time she was trying to ease the relationship between father and son.
This atmosphere continued until the arrival of Feng Xinliu and Feng Xinfu, two siblings from the second branch of the Feng family.
The Bai family is not unfamiliar with these two people. After all, everyone from several major ancient martial arts families knew that Feng Xinfu, the second daughter of the Feng family, liked Bai Jincheng. In particular, Feng Xinfu would find opportunities to come to the Bai family every now and then to show her presence.
This time, the Bai family did not deliberately cover up the disappearance of the young master. These two people from the Feng family came uninvited under the pretext of having connections.
Ouyang Wanjun adheres to the principle of not turning guests away, while Bai Jin and Bai Jincheng give enough opportunities for smooth communication to anyone who comes to the house in the near future, regardless of whether they have connections with anyone inside the Bai family or not, if they really have someone in the Bai family.
The moment the Feng siblings walked in, Bai Jincheng had already called over his two confidants, who were also his trained confidants just like in other families. This time, he sent Wuying and Wuxi to secretly observe whether anyone from the Bai family appeared in places where they shouldn't be, or did anything abnormal.
It seemed that Feng Xinliu simply accompanied her sister to the Bai family this time. Feng Xinfu also exchanged a few simple greetings with Ouyang Wanjun. At other times, she was still pestering Bai Jincheng to talk about some meaningless topics. Feng Xinliu didn't say a word except greeting the elders and Bai Jincheng in the room after entering the room. I just kept looking around intentionally or unintentionally.
When Feng Xinfu ran out of topics to talk about, Feng Xinliu suddenly asked, "Why isn't Ah Zhan coming out?"
Bai Jincheng answered casually: "I'm going out of the region to visit my relatives for a few days."
The Feng siblings also felt that there was no better topic to continue talking about. As for the embarrassment at the moment, they did not want to stay any longer, and finally Feng Xinliu explained the purpose of their visit: "Some people in the region said that Ah Zhan was kidnapped and has not returned yet. We came here to show our concern. I didn't expect that he was visiting relatives outside the region. I almost believed the rumors outside. On the other hand, if the Bai family needs any help, our Feng family will definitely provide help to the best of our ability."
It seems that the brother and sister came here just to show their concern for A Zhan and to express their attitude. There was no inappropriate behavior throughout the process, and no contact with anyone from the Bai family.
As for the claim that the two of them came to the Bai family simply to care about Ah Zhan, after the Bai family father and son learned that it was the Feng family who poisoned Ah Zhan, no one believed this claim.
While they were still puzzled by their actions, the servants came with news that when Miss Feng was leaving the house, she suddenly discovered that one of the earrings she had worn when she came was missing. I'm searching all the way from the gate to here.
Hearing this, the Bai family father and son looked at each other, as if they understood the message in each other's eyes.
“There’s a play!!!”
The search did not last long, as word came that the earring had been found. Then came the news that the two had left the Bai family.
That night, one of the two confidants sent by Bai Jincheng quietly came to Bai's father's study, and the three of them entered the secret room together.
Wuying said, "Before Miss Feng said she was looking for the earring, there was a moment when she did something behind Feng Xinliu. When she walked side by side with her brother again, the earring disappeared. The place where the earring was finally found was a certain distance from the door. After they arrived at the Bai family, only Wu Ma, who was beside the lady, stayed there for a short while before finding the earring."
Bai Jin looked at Bai Jincheng in confusion: "Auntie Wu is an old lady next to your mother, how could she betray the Bai family? What's more, when her son got into trouble, it was Wanjun who went to help solve it. I always thought that Auntie Wu came to the Bai family because she wanted to thank your mother for her help."
"Dad, actually when I came out of your study that day, I saw a fleeting figure at the corner of the stairs. That figure was Aunt Wu."
At this time, Wuying continued, "After Wuxi and I exchanged information with each other, I came to report to you and the head of the family that Wuxi followed the Feng family brothers and sisters to see if they would take any action after returning."
Bai Jincheng pondered for a while and said, "Okay, let's do this for now. Let Wuqi and Wuji go outside the domain and find Wu Ma's son to see if they can get any information from him. It would be best if we set up a trap and let him join it himself. Otherwise, if we go looking for him rashly, we will definitely alert the enemy."
After Wuying left the secret room, Bai Jin was still sighing: "If it is really Wu Ma, then the Bai family can only say that they have been bad at employing people to a certain extent. For more than ten years, no one has noticed it at all."
"That's not the case. We can only say that the other party was overly cautious and probably didn't do much, so no one noticed."
"Okay, I'll take care of all the other people with unusual behavior this time. The Bai family has too many idle people. I've always thought that they don't cost much salary anyway, so just keep them as long as they do their job well."
"Dad, too much mercy will only give the other party more opportunities to take advantage of you. This time, what happened to A Zhan is also a warning. Fortunately, now we know that A Zhan is fine. Everything is still in time."
