The following events were unexpected for Lin Zicheng and Wenren Lan. It seemed as if Wen Hao suddenly vanished one day, leaving no trace at all. This made Wenren Lan feel extremely uneasy, not because he feared what Wen Hao might do to him, but because he was worried that Wen Hao might target Lin Zicheng.
However, Lin Zicheng appeared completely unfazed as if nothing had happened. This calm demeanor eased Wenren Lan’s initial worries. Lin Zicheng had a unique ability to bring tranquility to people even in the most critical situations.
“It’s alright, Feng. If Wen Hao really intends to do something behind our backs, it would be highly disadvantageous.” Due to Wenren Lan’s lack of restraint, people in City B were now speculating about his relationship with Lin Zicheng. It seemed that everyone in City B, except him, thought of Lin Zicheng as his younger brother.
“It’s okay. Things weren’t peaceful during the years abroad, and my skills are not that bad,” replied Lin Zicheng. If Lin Zicheng’s skills were considered good back then, now they could be described as overpowered. He brought his extraordinary abilities from the first world into this one, which allowed him to easily deal with the bodyguards Wen Hao had sent after him.
Hearing Lin Zicheng’s explanation, Wenren Lan nodded in agreement. Indeed, Lin Zicheng’s martial prowess was impressive, and he was not any less capable than Wenren Lan himself. If Lin Zicheng remained cautious, there shouldn’t be much danger.
“But I’m a bit worried about the people behind him. Someone who remains so composed can’t be from ordinary small families. Moreover, if it were just small families involved, it wouldn’t be easy for them to fish Wen Hao out of prison,” pondered Lin Zicheng as he tried to figure out the possible families associated with Wen Hao, but he couldn’t come up with any.
He initially considered it might have been related to the Wu family, but since only Wen Hao was released and Wu Yiran was still in prison, he discarded that possibility. However, Wen Hao himself didn’t seem to have any background, which made the situation somewhat puzzling.
Just when Lin Zicheng couldn’t figure it out, he unexpectedly received a call from his cousin, Lu Ran, the third son of the Third Uncle’s family.
“Eldest cousin, it’s me. I found something unusual,” Lu Ran’s voice carried a hint of pride, which made Lin Zicheng feel both amused and exasperated. All of his cousins seemed to be like this now, but… they were really cute!
“What unusual thing did you find?” Lin Zicheng’s voice contained a touch of amusement. Listening to this, Wenren Lan felt a pang of jealousy in his heart. Why was Feng so gentle and kind when dealing with those people? It made him feel a bit uncomfortable.
However, Wenren Lan knew that this call was probably crucial, so he didn’t interrupt and just stood aside, feeling a bit jealous.
“Eldest cousin, one of my men passed by your clinic a few days ago and saw Wen Hao there. It seemed like he had a brief conversation with your receptionist and then left. I’m not sure if this information could be a clue,” explained Lu Ran.
He knew that his eldest cousin had been trying to find Wen Hao’s whereabouts, and though he wasn’t sure if this information would be useful, he decided to share it with Lin Zicheng since it was related to Wen Hao.
Upon hearing this information, Lin Zicheng slightly furrowed his brows. Could this have anything to do with Bai Qing?
It didn’t seem likely. The information 001 gave him about Bai Qing didn’t indicate any special background; she was just an ordinary person. With such an identity, there was no way she could collaborate with the Lu family and the Wen family to release Wen Hao from prison.
“Thank you, your information is very helpful. I’ll follow this lead and investigate further.” Although he wasn’t sure about the connection between them, involving the female lead probably meant things weren’t simple. It was better to thoroughly investigate!
“Eldest cousin, you’re welcome. If there’s any more information, I’ll inform you immediately.” After saying goodbye, they hung up. However, even at this moment, Lin Zicheng still had a troubled expression on his face.
“Feng, was there a problem with the call just now?” Wenren Lan’s intuition told him that the call must have been related to Wen Hao; otherwise, Feng wouldn’t have shown such an expression.
Shaking his head, Lin Zicheng gestured for Wenren Lan not to ask further. He needed to sort out all the information he had received today, and then he might be able to determine if there was a connection between Bai Qing and the current situation.
After a while, Lin Zicheng slowly spoke, “Lu Ran just called. He told me that a few days ago, one of his men passed by my clinic and saw Wen Hao there. It seemed like Wen Hao had a brief conversation with Bai Qing and then disappeared. I suspect Bai Qing’s disappearance might be related to Wen Hao, but she doesn’t seem to have any background, just an ordinary person.”
If Bai Qing had even a tiny bit of background, Lin Zisheng could be certain that she is a hundred percent related to this incident. However, the truth is that Bai Qing is just an ordinary person who works at a bar to earn money. If she were really from an influential family, how could they let her do such a thing?
This statement also made Wenren Lan furrow his brows. He secretly investigated Bai Qing’s background, and the information showed that she was just an ordinary child from an ordinary family. Could such a person really be capable of rescuing Wen Hao?
“Feng, don’t dwell on it. Now that we know Bai Qing might be involved, I will thoroughly investigate, and we’ll find out if she’s behind this,” Wenren Lan didn’t like Lin Zisheng focusing on others; it was causing him to gradually lose control.
Lin Zisheng nodded as he understood that it was useless to think too much at this point. It would be better to wait for the investigation results before considering Bai Qing’s connection to this matter.
However, even before the investigation could begin, a small yet significant trouble arose.
That night, Wenren Lan almost got into an accident while driving Lin Zisheng back home, all because he was worried.
Lin Zisheng’s house, located on a villa on a mountainside, was in a unique position. The construction of these villas followed the terrain of the mountain, providing a direct view of the sea. To reach his home, Lin Zisheng had to go through a winding mountain road, making it an excellent spot for those who wanted to harm him and Wenren Lan.
By the time they were heading back, it was already completely dark. Despite the car’s headlights, visibility wasn’t as clear as during the day, and there were very few vehicles around. Just as Lin Zisheng was approaching the final curve before reaching his home, the car lost control, nearly veering off the road and down the cliff. If it weren’t for Wenren Lan’s exceptional driving skills, the headline in tomorrow’s B City news would probably read: ‘Heirs of the Wen and Lan Families, Plummet to Their Deaths in a Double Cliff Accident!’
“Woah, what just happened, Ah Lan?”
Wenren Lan was usually a very steady driver, and such an incident was almost impossible to occur. There must have been some external force involved.
Wenren Lan didn’t speak but fiercely embraced Lin Zisheng in his arms. He felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest. At the moment the car lost control, he wasn’t afraid. Instead, he thought that if they had truly fallen off the cliff, they could die together, perhaps even having their bodies burnt to ashes due to the car’s explosion. They would then never be separated again.”
This outcome was like sweet nectar to him.
He was truly going crazy; he feared that if things continued this way and he couldn’t have Feng, he would end up killing him and then committing suicide.

“Feng, it’s so good that you’re okay, so good…”
The two of them just held each other quietly, neither of them speaking. After a few minutes, Wenren Lan’s phone rang, and after answering the call, his face turned dark, and his eyes even showed a murderous intent.
“Ah Lan?” It was rare to see him so emotionally unstable. Watching him like this made Lin Zisheng feel uneasy.
“The recent incident has been investigated. Someone splashed oil on the road where we were walking just now.”
Due to a brief rain earlier in the day, the ground was still slightly wet, so Wenren Lan didn’t pay much attention to the damp surface. However, this lack of attention almost cost them their lives. Wenren Lan felt deeply self-blame.
“Ah Lan, it’s not your fault. Don’t dwell on it anymore. I will handle this matter properly! It’s time for the Lu Family to make a move!” With things developing to this point, it was time to let the Lu Family act!
Because of this incident, Lin Zisheng was worried about Wenren Lan returning home like this, so he had him stay in the guest room.
“Feng, I will take care of this matter, don’t worry. Such a thing won’t happen again.” Wenren Lan felt very guilty about the recent incident. If it weren’t for him always appearing in front of Feng, Feng wouldn’t have encountered such danger. So he was determined to handle the situation perfectly!
Lin Zicheng shook his head and spoke before Wenren Lan could say anything, “Don’t worry, I will have the Lu family thoroughly investigate this matter. You’ve been tirelessly searching for Wen Hao, and these things can be handled by the Lu family’s members. Moreover, it’s evident that they targeted me this time. How can I easily let those people go?”
Reluctant as he was, Wenren Lan knew that Lin Zicheng was right. He was indeed stretched thin, and it was best to leave these matters to the Lu family to handle.
The Lu family acted swiftly and managed to uncover various clues related to the incident within just three days. These clues were enough for Lin Zicheng to make an educated guess about what was happening.
“Oh, by the way, big brother, there’s something you might not know,” just as Lin Zicheng was about to hang up the call, Lu Ran suddenly spoke up, “It’s about the receptionist at your private clinic. I’ve gathered information about her.”
“Hmm? What’s wrong with her?” This topic piqued Lin Zicheng’s interest. After spending so much time investigating her without any results, he was curious to finally know what she was hiding.
“There’s nothing wrong with her, but there’s an issue with her mother,” Lu Ran revealed with surprise after obtaining the information, “Bai Qing’s mother, Yan Fei, had the name Bai Yanfei thirty years ago. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family.”
Who would have thought that this Yan Fei was the same person who caused such a commotion in the Bai family thirty years ago? And who could have imagined that Bai Qing was the daughter of that Bai Yanfei?
“I see. Thanks to your information, Lu Ran. Now I have a rough idea of what I’m dealing with,” Lin Zicheng said, realizing that he had underestimated Bai Qing.
[Received hidden quest: Bai Qing’s Background. Investigate the reasons why Bai Yanfei left the Bai family more than twenty years ago, and uncover the identity of Bai Qing’s father. Quest rewards: 1 Character Enhancement Point, 1 Basic Attribute Point, no penalty for failure.]
“Hmm? Only Character Enhancement Points and Basic Attribute Points?” Lin Zicheng found it a little odd. Most of the tasks he had received so far granted points, experience, and rewards. It was unusual to encounter a quest without those usual benefits.
[Hidden quests typically provide something special. However, due to the low level of the host, the hidden quest’s rewards are also limited. But if the host reaches A or even S rank in the future, in a cultivation world, for instance, there might be exceptional treasures as rewards. So, don’t underestimate hidden quests, Host!]
“Oh, I see. So, hidden quests exist in every world?” Lin Zicheng’s interest was piqued by the idea that hidden quests might be present in every world.
“Yes, hidden quests are present in every world. For example, in the first world, why did Su Mo not perish alongside the Lin family? In the second world, why did the female lead forcibly detain the male lead’s residual soul?” Since those worlds have been cleared, I can share information about their hidden quests with you, 001 explained.
“…” After hearing about these quests, Lin Zicheng’s expression soured. “Since you know the rewards are good, why didn’t you tell me about them in advance?”
“Host, the whole point of hidden quests is that the host discovers them on their own. I can’t provide any hints. If I did, the main system wouldn’t give out rewards for the quests,” 001 clarified. [But for the upcoming worlds, Host can consider such aspects. Who knows, there might be substantial gains.]
“…” Lin Zicheng didn’t press further. If 001 said so, asking more questions would be going against the rules, and it would be foolish to squander future benefits for immediate gains.
“Feng, what did Lu Ran say just now?” After Lin Zicheng hung up and remained absent-minded for a while, Wenren Lan couldn’t help but ask.
“I received some surprising news just now, that’s why I spaced out,” Lin Zicheng apologized with a glance at Wenren Lan before explaining, “Lu Ran told me that Bai Qing is the daughter of Bai Yanfei, the same Bai Yanfei who caused quite a stir in the Bai family.”
At that mention, Wenren Lan also recognized whom Lin Zicheng was referring to. The incident with Bai Yanfei was practically known to everyone in City B. A mere illegitimate daughter had managed to enter the Bai family and even become one of the potential successors. If not for a subsequent event, it wouldn’t be certain who the current head of the Bai family would be!
“Is she Bai Yanfei’s daughter?” The name made Wenren Lan slightly wary. The people in B City were well aware of Bai Yanfei’s schemes, and if Bai Qing possessed similar traits, then it would indeed be troublesome!
“Yes, Lu Ran said she’s Bai Yanfei’s daughter. It seems there is some connection between Bai Qing and this incident!” Lin Zisheng narrowed his eyes. The near-fatal incident a few days ago caused his favorable impression of Bai Qing to drop rapidly from -10 to almost -100.
In fact, Lin Zisheng’s speculation was correct. Bai Qing played a significant role in this incident.
Upon learning that Bai Qing had ties with Wenren Lan and Lin Zisheng, Bai Yanfei immediately returned to the Bai family. Although the Bai family didn’t favor her now, no one dared to provoke her, as they all had lingering fears from the events of the past. As long as this crazy woman didn’t provoke them, it was better not to provoke her!
Initially, they thought Bai Yanfei wanted to return to the Bai family. However, unexpectedly, she adhered to her past promise and didn’t request to return. Instead, she wanted her daughter, Bai Qing, to go back to the Bai family, promising that Bai Qing would not compete for any of the Bai family’s assets. The only condition was that the Bai family had to treat Bai Qing as a genuine member of the family!
The Bai family almost immediately agreed to this request. After all, it was just taking in an additional idle person, which was not a problem for them at all.
Furthermore, they now understood Bai Yanfei’s intention. Bai Qing had already established connections with Wenren Lan and Lu Feng. Who knows, she might become the wife of one of them in the future, which could bring endless benefits to the Bai family!
After Bai Qing returned to the Bai family, she met Wen Hao. Upon learning his identity, Wen Hao deeply regretted his past actions. Now, he realized how many mistakes he had made, offending Lu Feng and Bai Qing. He had offended a significant portion of the influential families in B City.
However, after learning an interesting piece of information, he felt that the enmity between him and Bai Qing could still be resolved.
Thus, Wen Hao used the last remnants of his connections to contact the Bai family, and they managed to pull him out of prison. Afterward, he met Bai Qing and reached some sort of agreement.
But what he was doing now was making Bai Qing extremely dissatisfied!
“Mr. Wen, shouldn’t you give me an explanation? Is this what you call helping?” Due to her change in status, Bai Qing was no longer the timid person she used to be. Learning Lu Feng’s true identity made her strive to become more perfect to match him, so now she had almost transformed into a young lady from a wealthy family.
Of course, all of this was only surface-level. She had not received proper education from a young age, so despite her improved appearance, her true nature couldn’t change so easily in just a few months.
The no-longer-timid Bai Qing became willful and domineering. In some ways, she was even less likable than before.
“Miss Bai, let me explain. I didn’t know about that incident, nor did I know that Lu Feng would be in the enemy’s car.” Though filled with hatred, Wen Hao still spoke politely to Bai Qing. She was now the only person who could help him, and losing this support would mean his revenge plan would be doomed.
“Bai Qing, do you think I’m a fool? That road is the way Lu Senior would take to go home. Even if Wenren Lan wasn’t in the car at that time, Lu Senior would still have taken that route and encountered trouble!” Now Bai Qing understood that this person wasn’t genuinely trying to help her.
“Wen Hao, this matter isn’t over. Since you dared to use me, you should have prepared for the consequences once I find out the truth!” After saying this, Bai Qing didn’t bother to continue the conversation and directly hung up the phone!
“Damn it, damn it!” After Bai Qing hung up, Wen Hao almost smashed his phone. How did things turn out this way? He had planned everything so well; why did someone discover his plot? No, it wasn’t just that, the most crucial thing was why Lin Zisheng and Wenren Lan were involved in none of it!
In fact, Bai Qing’s thoughts were not wrong. From the beginning, Wen Hao’s target was not Wenren Lan but Lin Zisheng. The current talk of the town in B City was the relationship between Wenren Lan and Lin Zisheng. Although there were no explicit actions between the two, their closeness seemed suspicious, and Wen Hao knew that their relationship was abnormal. Thus, he realized that once Lin Zisheng was gone, Wenren Lan would collapse completely, even if he didn’t die.
Now, Wen Hao no longer cared about gaining anything from the Wen family; what he wanted most was for Wenren Lan to die!
“It’s okay, Bai Qing will definitely call in a few days. Then we’ll send that pair of gay men to hell!” Regardless of the true nature of their relationship, in Wen Hao’s eyes, their closeness was abnormal.
Wenren Lan, that damned pervert, must die! As for Lu Feng, ha, he deserved to die too. He brought this upon himself for wanting to help that perverted Wenren Lan!
…
As days passed, Lin Zisheng and Wenren Lan still couldn’t locate Wen Hao’s whereabouts, but they found clues pointing towards the involvement of the Bai family. This displeased them greatly.
“It seems the Bai family has been too idle lately. Let’s give them something to do,” Lin Zisheng said, tossing a coin up and down in his hand.
“The Bai family is too focused on Bai Yanfei’s words, forgetting that sometimes certain enemies can be more dangerous.”
Lin Zisheng’s words acted as a signal. From that day onwards, the Bai family faced frequent setbacks in their business, and even some shady dealings were exposed. The Bai family was on edge, secretly investigating who might be targeting them. However, the investigation results left them all at a loss.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t find out; quite the opposite. The Bai family easily identified who was behind these attacks because the Lu and Wen families were not even trying to hide it. They blatantly revealed that they were the ones manipulating these incidents.
“Why would these two families do something like this?” Bai Luo, the head of the Bai family, couldn’t understand. Until now, the Bai family had no dealings with other families and wouldn’t have any enmity with them. So, it was inconceivable for the Lu and Wen families to openly target the Bai family like this!
Everyone felt puzzled, and suddenly one person’s face turned pale.
“Xiao Si, what did you think of? Speak up; there’s nothing we can’t discuss at this critical moment.” Bai Luo noticed the abnormality and immediately spoke up. The Bai family was now on the brink of survival, so there was nothing that couldn’t be said.
“Big Brother, have you forgotten? A few days ago, we pulled someone out of prison,” the person said, their face even paler now. “Later, I heard that Lu Feng and Wenren Lan almost lost their lives in the hands of that person. You think, are these two families trying to attack us because of that incident?”
Such a possibility was not impossible!
“Explain in detail. What happened?” Bai Luo was the head of the family, but with so many family matters, not everything required his direct involvement. Wen Hao had only asked for a small favor at the time, which everyone had agreed to without much thought. But now, it seemed to have brought significant trouble.
“Big Brother, this is what happened. Wen Hao is Wenren Lan’s father, and back then, we owed him a favor. So when he asked us to get him out of prison, we agreed. Later, he said he wanted to take revenge on a few people, and we didn’t pay much attention. Who would have thought that the people he wanted to retaliate against were his own son…”
As Bai Luo heard this, he couldn’t help but realize that the root cause of this incident was Bai Luo himself. He deeply regretted his past decisions. If he had been in charge of this matter, he would never have agreed!
“Really…” Bai Luo wanted to say something, but he also knew about the favor they owed Wen Hao in the past. Now that the debt was repaid, he knew he had to go and apologize to Wenren Lan and Lu Feng immediately.
“Forget it, it ends here. From now on, no matter what Wen Hao asks from the Bai family, we cannot agree!”
After saying this, Bai Luo prepared what he needed and was ready to apologize. He had to act quickly because if he delayed for another month or so, who knew what would happen to the Bai family? If it were just one family, Bai Luo had confidence in preserving the Bai family, but if two powerful families attacked simultaneously, even a deity would struggle to save the entire Bai family.
When Lin Zisheng received the formal invitation from the Bai family, a smile appeared on his face. “Ah Lan, this is a wise move. It seems the Bai family knows where they went wrong.”
During this period, Wenren Lan had been handling matters related to Wen Hao, which made Lin Zisheng somewhat miss the old Wen Renling, who always got worked up over trivial matters.
“Shall we go?” Seeing Lin Zisheng’s interest, Wenren Lan naturally had to give face and accompany him.
“Yes, since they sincerely invited us, we should give them face. Let’s go and have a look.”
Upon arriving at the location mentioned in the invitation, Lin Zisheng raised an eyebrow. He could genuinely feel the Bai family’s sincerity. The resort was one of the Bai family’s most profitable ventures, if not one of the most lucrative in the industry. Now, they had cleared it out to entertain the two of them. It seemed they took this matter quite seriously!
“Bai Family Head, you’re indeed quite generous today. Such a grand reception for Lu Feng, it’s truly humbling.” After taking a glance at Bai Luo, Lin Zisheng noticed the large group of people behind him and Bai Qing and Bai Yanfei standing not far away. It was evident that the entire Bai family had gathered.
“Master Lu, your words are too modest. With the status of both you and Young Master Wen Ren, it’s only right for us to treat you well. Moreover…” Bai Luo’s expression became even more sincere. “A few days ago, some juniors from the Bai family offended both of you. It was entirely my fault for not managing them properly. Today, I’ve come to apologize to both of you, and this resort is a gift from us.”
Bai Luo felt as though his heart was bleeding while saying these words, but he had no choice. If things continued like this, the Bai family would lose much more than just some assets.
“Bai Family Head, you’re truly generous?” Hearing Bai Luo’s words, Wenren Lan raised an eyebrow, and his eyes even carried a hint of mockery, but more so, admiration.
No wonder the Bai family, despite not being very prosperous in recent years, had managed to survive without decline. With such clever tactics, they could naturally preserve the Bai family. This resort was like a fat piece of meat, and the Bai family was so willing to part with it. Once they accepted it, they couldn’t bring up past grievances. After all, despite the incidents, they hadn’t truly wanted to take the lives of the two of them.
“Of course. It’s only natural for us elders to bear the responsibility for the mistakes of our juniors. It’s the least we can do,” Bai Luo kept emphasizing the fault of the juniors, placing the two of them on the same level, implying that if they continued to hold grudges, they would be bullying the juniors.
Indeed, it was quite clever. Most people, in such a situation, even if unwilling, would follow this line of thought. Bai Luo had achieved his goal, but unfortunately, he was facing Lin Zisheng today. The tactic of playing on emotions wouldn’t work on him!
“Bai Family Head, you’re being too polite. Strictly speaking, both of us are considered juniors of the Bai family,” Lin Zisheng said with a smiling face, directly countering Bai Luo’s words. Just a moment ago, Bai Luo mentioned that the troublemakers were juniors, asking them not to hold grudges. Now, Lin Zisheng informed Bai Luo that they were juniors as well, warning them not to use their seniority to bully them.
The atmosphere became awkward once again, and Yan Fei, who was standing beside them, was not pleased. Although her daughter caused this incident, the Bai family had already apologized, yet this person was relentless.
“Heh, since you understand that you’re juniors, then be a bit more sensible. Don’t forget, Lu Family is still not under your control!” Bai Yanfei’s words caused the atmosphere to become tense. Everyone looked at her in shock, wondering why she would say such a thing at this moment. It was like adding fuel to the fire!
“That’s right, it’s true that I’m not in charge of the Lu family now, but this lady, do you have the right to speak here? Today I’m here to meet with the Bai family. Why are you, a person whose surname is not Bai, here?” Lin Zicheng frowned. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Yanfei with disgust in his eyes , “Or do you want me to remind you that Bai Qing is yours and ‘someone’ else’s daughter?”
Bai Yanfei’s words were blocked in her throat, and she looked at Lin Zisheng with fear. How could he possibly know about this!?
“You, what nonsense are you talking about? I don’t understand what you mean, and I don’t know who you’re talking about!” Although she spoke defiantly, Yan Fei’s face had turned pale, showing signs of fear. She wasn’t sure if Lin Zisheng’s words were true, but she had to be cautious!
[Host, do you really know about Bai Qing’s identity?] After hearing Lin Zisheng’s words, 001 was filled with curiosity, especially when it saw Bai Yanfei’s terrified expression. It wondered who that person was, to make Bai Yanfei so fearful?
“Of course, why would I joke about such matters.” Lin Zicheng looked at the people around him with a smile, and finally his eyes fell on Bai Luo.
“Haven’t you noticed the striking resemblance between Bai Yanfei’s appearance and a combination of you and Bai Yanfei? Of course, initially, it was just a guess, but seeing Bai Yanfei’s reaction to my words and your strange expression, I’m confident my guess is correct. Combined with your unusual behavior, it all fits.”
“Don’t you think that Bai Qing’s appearance is a combination of Bai Yanfei and Bai Luo’s?”
“Of course, I was just guessing at first, but seeing Bai Yanfei whose face became ugly after hearing my words, I knew that my guess was correct. In addition, Bai Luo’s facial expression is not right either.”
“So, Bai Qing’s biological father is… She is the product of incest.”
After Lin Zisheng finished speaking, 001 remained suspended in the air, unresponsive for half a minute. Then, its voice rang out:
[Hidden Quest: Bai Qing’s Origin – Investigate the reason why Bai Yanfei left the Bai family over twenty years ago and who is Bai Qing’s father. Quest completed. Quest rewards: 1 Original Attribute Point, 1 Character Enhancement Point.]
After 001’s voice, it looked at Lin Zisheng with admiration. Although it had guessed that this person’s identity might be complicated, it didn’t expect it to be this intricate. No wonder Bai Yanfei had left the Bai family. Such a thing was unimaginable for the previous Bai family head!
“What’s the matter, aunty? Why aren’t you saying anything? Weren’t you quite chatty just now?” Lin Zisheng’s face showed disgust and disdain as he looked at Bai Yanfei. It was as though he had seen something repulsive.
At this moment, Bai Yanfei felt as if her clothes had been stripped away, exposing her deepest secrets to everyone. The secret she had hidden for over twenty years had been revealed, and she felt overwhelmed!
“Big… Big brother, I’ll leave first. What Young Master Lu said is right. I’m not part of the Bai family now, so it’s not appropriate for me to stay here. I’m leaving.” After saying this, Bai Yanfei practically ran away. She was genuinely afraid. If she stayed any longer, it would be like having the last shred of her dignity torn away in front of everyone.
“Does anyone else have something to say?” Lin Zisheng still had a gentle smile on his face, but now no one dared to utter a word. At first, they thought the formidable person to deal with was Wenren Lan, but now they realized that the true threat was the person who had been smiling all along. He knew every detail of the Bai family’s history!
Thank you!
Omg what a messy childbirth!!
Lin Zisheng in this chapter was so cool, thank you for the update 🫶🫶🫶
