The next morning, the two siblings woke up at the same time.
As if he had completely forgotten the events of the previous day, Bai Jinghong smiled and said, “Sis, I’m hungry!”
“You really are all about eating and sleeping!”
Bai Ruoxi rolled her eyes at Bai Jinghong, but couldn’t help smiling.
She sat up, her graceful figure fully on display.
After running a hand through her beautiful hair, she got out of bed, washed up briefly, and went downstairs.
Bai Jinghong didn’t laze around in bed either.
Today, he still had to look after his young friend Ye Chen.
According to Bai Jinghong’s memory, the news about that plot of land being designated for a garbage station would break tomorrow at the latest.
It could also break today, so he had to be prepared on both fronts.
On one side was the Bai Corporation’s assault on the Dragon Morning Group.
On the other, he would personally work to completely shatter Ye Chen’s nerves.
If the original plot had developed normally, Li Ze and Xu Cang would be drinking Meng Po’s Soup by now, the Wu Family would no longer exist, and Ye Chen would have taken control of the Ye Family, securing the authority to clear his parents’ names.
Then would come the subduing of the Dragon Gate’s major powers, a whole series of face-slapping, and crooked smirks.
But because his own attacks were too fierce, the original plot belonging to Ye Chen had completely collapsed.
Ye Chen had accomplished nothing; he was passive everywhere.
Even the beginner mission—destroying the Wu Family—hadn’t been achieved.
That pair of adulterers were still singing nightly, spreading the news of Ye Chen’s spraying incident at the exhibition everywhere.
“I wonder who the next protagonist will be after Ye Chen!”
Bai Jinghong felt a small flutter of anticipation.
After all, while the protagonists were iron-forged, Bai Jinghong was the blacksmith. He still wanted to switch flavors and bully someone new.
After breakfast, Bai Jinghong and Bai Ruoxi prepared to leave.
Bai Jinghong didn’t take his own car, casually picking one from Bai Ruoxi’s garage.
Before leaving, he said to Bai Ruoxi, “Sis, if you have time, help me buy a few more pairs of underwear. That guy is restless, and they’re wearing out fast!”
Bai Ruoxi froze. Wearing out fast?
But a second later, she caught on, her face flushing with embarrassment. “You little brat, if you dare tease me again, don’t bother coming over anymore.”
Bai Jinghong laughed, blew her a flying kiss, and sped off.
“Brat!” Bai Ruoxi smiled gently and shook her head helplessly.
…
Near lunchtime, elsewhere, the Dragon Lord Ye Chen was still at the nursing home.
He sat in a pavilion, smoking, his brows tightly furrowed.
He didn’t know what was going on, but troubles were piling up one after another.
Yesterday, Thunder Hall reported that their headquarters had been invaded. Casualties were heavy.
All the Dragon Gate’s internal classified documents, collected for so long, had been blown up.
And some high-ranking members were inexplicably dead.
Those were all people loyal to him, Ye Chen!
Ye Chen wasn’t a fool; he could figure out with his ass that Bai Jinghong was behind it.
Although he was furious, strictly speaking, he had no good way to deal with Bai Jinghong right now.
Thunder Hall was heavily damaged. The Brokeback Mountain Organization from Water Severing Sect couldn’t be dispatched in time, and even if they came, their foundation here would be unstable.
They would easily be taken out by Bai Jinghong’s people.
The only consolation was smooth sailing in business.
The Gan Chamber of Commerce was fully supporting him, pouring another thirty billion into the land project. With costs and land, the total was eighty billion!
Making it big and creating glory again was just around the corner.
“It’s time to do something. Otherwise, I’ll only make those trash characters who oppose me feel smug.”
“The position of Ye Family Head also needs a new person sitting in it!”
“You indirectly caused my parents’ deaths. I won’t forget this grudge!”
Ye Chen immediately set his sights on the Ye Family.
He had already planted a “mine” in the Ye Family but hadn’t had time to detonate it.
Now, he was exactly short of prestige and opportunities to expand his power. As long as he seized the Ye Family, an upper-middle-tier family…
Then one rallying cry, and followers would swarm like clouds!
After straightening out his plan, Ye Chen stood up and headed towards his residence in the nursing home.
Along the way, most people were his subordinates, and there was a constant stream of greetings.
But strangely, the way they looked at him was all a bit odd.
Especially that little brother.
He had noticed that in the past couple of days, the way that little brother looked at him was actually… full of lament!
Oh my god!
He guessed the kid had been scared silly by that slap he gave him the other day.
Regarding what happened that day, Ye Chen was also puzzled. He clearly remembered Yun Mengxi visiting him, and they even shared a passionate kiss!
Then how did she suddenly vanish, replaced by that little brother beside him? He couldn’t even react.
It seemed that after leaving the nursing home, he should first visit his precious Mengxi!
Thinking of Yun Mengxi’s gorgeous face and elegant, graceful figure, Ye Chen felt a surge of hot blood.
And Wen Chunyu too—that peerless beauty secretly had a crush on him; she had to be his as well.
Just as Ye Chen entered the care building, a man in sunglasses and a mask had already appeared within the nursing home.
It was Bai Jinghong.
This time, he came alone.
He had just knocked out a Dragon Gate subordinate, somewhat disdainfully putting on the man’s jacket, sunglasses, and mask.
His real face was completely hidden.
“System, swap that ‘Chrysanthemum Blooming, Coming Out of the Closet’ item for me!”
Bai Jinghong communicated with the System.
[Ding! Exchange successful. For male-male use only. Takes effect five minutes after ingestion. Effect lasts ten minutes. After ten minutes, the effect is dispelled!]
[This item is a spray, colorless and odorless. Spray it into drinks or food. Use with caution. Once used, it will… yue~ Forget it, you’ll find out for yourself later.]
“Damn!”
Bai Jinghong shuddered in disgust. If even the System despised it this much, the potency must be great!
Entering the care building, Bai Jinghong made a trip to the restroom, straightening himself in front of the mirror to avoid giving himself away.
As luck would have it, a Dragon Gate subordinate was taking a crap in one of the shared stalls.
Cigarette dangling from his lips, half his body sticking out.
This made Bai Jinghong a bit speechless.
The man didn’t recognize Bai Jinghong and thought he was a comrade.
He couldn’t help but snap, “What are you looking at me for?”
“Got to crap or not? If you gotta crap, crap! Don’t just stand there staring! If not, get the hell out!”
“I can’t go with you here.”
Bai Jinghong really wanted to stuff him into the cesspit, but it was too disgusting, and he couldn’t be bothered to go over.
Just as he was about to leave, the Dragon Gate guy suddenly asked, “I don’t have any paper. You got any?”
Bai Jinghong snapped off a branch from a nearby ornamental tree and tossed it to him. “Here, scrape it clean!”
“Oh, thanks~”
Bai Jinghong quickly made his way toward Ye Chen’s private care ward.
It was lunchtime. If he didn’t hurry and add something extra to Ye Chen’s lunch…
Then this trip would have been for nothing.
Ye Chen’s lunch was provided by the Dragon Gate people.
It was lavish, but on the other hand, its security was extremely strict.
But for Bai Jinghong, this didn’t matter at all.
He waited on the route the food cart had to take, anticipating its arrival.
Sure enough, within a few minutes, a tall, burly man came pushing the food cart.
The dishes inside were sumptuous, covered with plastic lids.
Not even a fly could get in, let alone his stuff.
Bai Jinghong took off his sunglasses and used the Soul Capturing Eye to directly control the man!
The cart-pushing man became dazed and simply turned around.
With swift hands and sharp eyes, Bai Jinghong rushed over, lifted the lids, and sprayed the Chrysanthemum Blooming Spray onto most of the dishes.
Having done that, he retreated to his original position.
By then, the man had also turned back around, pausing in slight confusion.
He didn’t think much of it and pushed the food cart onwards towards the room.
Before entering, the cart was inspected meticulously by a guard using detection paper—extremely thorough.
As if afraid Ye Chen would be poisoned.
Only after confirming no issues was it pushed into the room.
And Bai Jinghong wasn’t idle.
The drug would take effect in five minutes. He still had to find the little brother!
He had to fulfill his wish!
