White Tiger Hall had always been managed by Duan Fei.
Outwardly, no one ever knew White Tiger Hall belonged to Bai Jinghong.
Now that Duan Fei had been sent by Bai Jinghong to Su Province to capture someone, Ah Kun had taken over the operations here.
Ah Kun was extremely efficient.
After receiving Bai Jinghong’s authorization, he immediately began making adjustments!
Bai Jinghong estimated the time. It was probably about time for the Xu Family to start making things difficult for Xu Sixin.
Leaving matters here to Ah Kun, Bai Jinghong felt very reassured.
His trip here this time was simply to take a look at the Death God Gu Tianming’s brat, nothing more.
Leaving the hideout, Bai Jinghong got into a Rolls-Royce.
He left the sports car he had driven over for Ah Kun.
Inside the car were three bodyguards: Iron Tower, Vajra, and Volcano.
“Young Master, where to?”
“The Xu Family, that Xu Family of Righteous Group!” Bai Jinghong said flatly.
“Yes!”
Iron Tower started the car and drove off.
Bai Jinghong rolled down the window, feeling the breeze outside. He felt completely at ease.
Although the System hadn’t provided the specific plotline regarding Gu Tianming,
Bai Jinghong was a heavy web novel enthusiast. He could guess roughly nine out of ten of those storylines.
But it was only a general idea. The details were truly impossible to guess.
As expected, right now at the Xu Family, a group of people were probably bullying and cursing Xu Sixin.
Bai Jinghong was still letting his imagination run wild when his phone rang.
He thought it was Ah Kun calling.
But taking it out, he saw it was Ye Qingke.
Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but smile.
He figured it was about time.
Leaving the Ye Family without a proper goodbye last time had already caught the Ye family off guard.
After these few days, with Elder Ye’s illness improving, they would definitely contact him.
“Qingke, what’s up?” Bai Jinghong answered the phone.
“Brother Jinghong, do… do you have time? Our family would like to invite you over as a guest…”
“I’m afraid I don’t have time right now. How about I contact you when I’m free, alright?”
“Mm… then I’ll wait for you!” Ye Qingke responded.
After hanging up, Bai Jinghong smiled again.
New meat in the bun is on its way!
Bai Jinghong put away his phone. Before long, he had arrived outside the Xu Family Villa.
The Xu Family Villa was also quite luxurious.
After all, they were a reasonably successful merchant family, with corporate assets around thirty-some billion.
Upon arriving, Bai Jinghong saw several luxury cars already parked at the entrance.
“Yo, looks like there are other onlookers here too?”
Bai Jinghong strode inside with large steps.
Some bodyguards were already standing at the doorway.
However, those bodyguards didn’t belong to the Xu Family.
They blocked Bai Jinghong’s path, standing right in front of him and saying coldly, “Who are you people? Our Young Master Qian is inside. Is this a place you can just walk into?”
“Young Master Qian? What kind of cat or dog is that?” Bai Jinghong blurted out.
“You looking to die?!” The two bodyguards flared up.
Bai Jinghong had no interest in such small fry. Iron Tower, Vajra, and Volcano directly pulled out their dark, gleaming pistols.
The gun muzzles pointed at the two bodyguards.
“Say another word to Young Master Bai, and I’ll blow your head open!”
“Get lost! Go kneel over there!”
Those two bodyguards immediately wilted.
Bodyguards of their level were just for fighting. They weren’t professional bodyguards, damn it!
And Young Master Bai…
Oh, my god…
In an instant, like grandsons, the two ran to the side and knelt down.
Bai Jinghong entered, but he didn’t announce his arrival.
He wanted to watch the drama unfold too.
So, Bai Jinghong leaned by the door and watched the scene playing out in the living room.
The living room was spacious and long. The people over there wouldn’t even notice the doorway, completely unaware that Bai Jinghong had arrived.
Because a ‘tragic melodrama’ was currently unfolding over there.
“Iron Tower, you usually like eating snacks and stuff, right? Got any in the car? Bring me a bag!”
“Right away, Young Master! Wait a moment!”
Iron Tower ran out.
Meanwhile, Volcano fetched a reclining chair for Bai Jinghong so he could sit and watch the show.
Things were heating up over there. On the nearby sofa sat a man with a sneer.
The Xu Family had six people present: one old coot, two men, and three women.
Xu Sixin was among them, and she was the one surrounded.
“Xu Sixin, you really don’t know what’s good for you! Young Master Qian taking a fancy to you is your honor! Don’t be so shameless!”
The speaker was Xu Sixin’s own mother, Wang Cui!
“Sixin, just look at yourself. This time you came home crying your eyes out, and the first thing you ask for is a loan, fifty thousand at that!”
“Now we’re giving you an opportunity. Marry Young Master Qian, and forget fifty thousand, even five hundred thousand is nothing!”
This time, the speaker was the Family Head, Xu Sixin’s father, Xu Mintong.
“Xin’er, you are part of the Xu Family after all. Just listen to your parents’ opinion and go with Young Master Qian!”
Another old coot spoke up.
“Yes, we’re all doing this for your own good. Young Master Qian doesn’t mind that you have a little burden. He can even marry you openly. Where else can you find such a good man?”
“Are you planning on being a widow for life or something?”
“My daughter is not a burden!” Xu Sixin retorted, but her voice was full of powerlessness.
Her graceful body trembled slightly, looking so helpless.
Her delicate face was red around the eyes, her complexion pale.
She had knelt for an entire night, just wanting to borrow emergency funds, and had even offered to write an IOU with interest stated.
All just to get her daughter back quickly.
But the Xu Family, her own flesh and blood, her very family, was using this point to force her to marry Qian Duoduo.
And they called him a good man?
He indulged in drinking, whoring, gambling, and even drugs. There was no evil he didn’t commit. Who didn’t know?
If Qian Duoduo was a good man, then Bai Jinghong, the Number One Prodigal of Dragon Sea, would be a living saint!
Truly marrying Qian Duoduo was like jumping into a fire pit. Her daughter would probably be sold off secretly or beaten to death.
And they said it was for her own good? It was just the Xu Family wanting to climb a higher branch!
Utterly ironic!
Over at his spot, Bai Jinghong was munching on a bag of potato chips with great relish, watching the show.
Not just Bai Jinghong, even Iron Tower and the other two were each holding a bag of snacks, standing behind Bai Jinghong and enjoying the drama.
Truly cliché power-fantasy stuff. If it weren’t for Bai Jinghong intervening, Gu Tianming would return, the War God enraged, and the Xu Family would be kneeling and licking his boots!
“Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you know I can’t do it, I really can’t!”
Tears streamed down Xu Sixin’s delicate, flower-like face. Her gaze was pleading as she looked at her parents.
No matter the reason, Xu Sixin absolutely couldn’t agree.
She still hadn’t waited for that man, the man who said he would make it up to her and give her happiness!
And her daughter was still seriously ill and had been taken away by those loan sharks.
At a time like this, how could she marry someone else?
Even if she really gave in and married him, Qian Duoduo would definitely go back on his word and wouldn’t care whether her daughter lived or died.
She just hated herself for having no money!
“You child, why can’t you see what’s important? Always thinking about that little bastard. Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about that wild man?”
“Let that bastard fend for herself! You restart your glorious life and bear a proper child for Young Master Qian. That would be your own flesh and blood too!”
Wang Cui plowed on, rattling off a whole spiel.
“Mom… you…”
Xu Sixin’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Such heartless words, actually coming from her own mother’s mouth.
“Even if you don’t like her, she’s still my daughter, your own biological granddaughter! How can you talk like that?”
Xu Sixin’s heart turned to ashes. Her own family, calling her child ‘bastard’ at every turn.
And telling her to let her own child fend for herself!
“Xu Sixin, don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!”
The voice was loud. It was clear the Xu Family head, Xu Mintong, was enraged.
“Young Master Qian is right here. If you obediently go with him, I’ll take the fifty thousand and you can go save that bastard!”
“I’ll even cover the medical expenses!”
“Don’t test my patience.”
Xu Mintong’s eyes were fierce. He continued, “Today, you either agree willingly or we make you agree. I’ll give you one minute to think about it carefully!”
Xu Sixin’s tears gushed out. Her already fragile heart was now filled with anger, despair, and powerlessness…
In the eyes of her family, she was nothing more than a tool.
Even if she resisted, what use was it? It would only bring harm to her innocent daughter.
“Fine… I’ll go with him…” Xu Sixin spoke these words as if using every ounce of strength in her body.
Hearing Xu Sixin agree, Qian Duoduo beamed with joy and quickly stood up. “Congratulations on making the most correct decision!”
Over on his side, Bai Jinghong also stood up. The plot had developed enough; it was now his turn to make an entrance.
He slowly walked over, casually grabbing a bottle of white liquor from the nearby wine rack as he passed.
