“I…” Xu Sixin was so frightened by the aura Bai Jinghong suddenly exuded that she didn’t know what to say.
In that moment, she inexplicably found herself agreeing with Bai Jinghong’s words.
Why? Why should she? Why should she bear the consequences of Gu Tianming’s mistake?
What wrong had she done?
Bai Jinghong seemed to have no intention of letting up, still speaking harshly.
“I think your family was right to scold you. You are cheap, and your child is a bastard!”
“Don’t you dare curse my child!” Xu Sixin suddenly became agitated, her tears falling faster.
Bai Jinghong let out a cold snort, almost laughing. “What if I do? Believe me, when she grows up, anyone who knows about you will point at your child’s spine and curse her!”
“You were raped and got pregnant, couldn’t bear to abort the child, so you gave birth. You think that’s motherly love? You think that’s good for the child?”
“Have you ever thought about how much humiliation a child born from your situation will have to endure in the future? Are you just that selfish? Just that brainless?”
“If you had left Dragon Sea, stayed away from everything, that would be one thing. But you chose to stay in Dragon Sea, and you even have the face to go home because of the child?”
“Your parents might not be good people, but do they owe you? The mess you made yourself—who are you trying to drag into it?”
In that moment, under Bai Jinghong’s soul-searing interrogation, Xu Sixin’s psychological defenses completely collapsed.
She covered her face and sobbed.
“I didn’t, I didn’t… I’m sorry…”
Xu Sixin broke down entirely, five years of pent-up emotions erupting all at once.
Bai Jinghong said nothing. He rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, a disdainful smile on his face.
Vajra and the others in the front seat secretly marveled in their hearts.
It was a pity the young master didn’t go into pyramid schemes.
But they also thought Bai Jinghong wasn’t wrong.
A man who raped her, and she treasured him as her beloved? Wasn’t that a mental illness?
Was she supposed to wait for that man to return, say, “You’ve suffered these five years, from now on I will definitely make you happy,” and everything would be canceled out?
If that were truly the case, Vajra thought to himself, he’d just rape every beautiful woman he saw, come back a few years later, say, “You’ve suffered,” and that would be it.
Bai Jinghong paid no further attention to Xu Sixin. They drove on, the car stopping at a star-rated hotel.
Vajra and the others naturally understood Bai Jinghong’s intentions.
Xu Sixin also seemed entirely dazed and disoriented.
Bai Jinghong couldn’t help but feel some regret.
Of course, his regret was over why he hadn’t saved this brainwashing spiel for after the pleasure.
Now, taking Xu Sixin to have some fun? Damn, she’d just be a dead fish.
What the hell would be the point of that!
Nevertheless, Bai Jinghong still brought her into the hotel and then went to a presidential suite.
After settling Xu Sixin in the hotel, Bai Jinghong planned to leave for a bit.
Xu Sixin was still somewhat in a trance, her eyes vacant.
Bai Jinghong chose this moment to deliberately say, “Stay here for now. I’m going out for a bit!”
Only then did Xu Sixin look up at Bai Jinghong, as if her soul had left her.
“Aren’t you just wanting to have me? You can, now!”
Bai Jinghong scoffed. “The way you are now, I have absolutely no interest. Wait, let’s talk after I save your daughter!”
Sure enough, upon hearing Bai Jinghong’s words, Xu Sixin suddenly stiffened, regaining some of her spirit.
“You… you really will save my daughter?”
“Nonsense. Do you take this young master for the guy who slept with you and then vanished leaving only a promise?”
“When this young master says something, he sticks to it. I said I’ll save her, I will. Wait here. Go take a shower first!”
Xu Sixin grabbed Bai Jinghong’s arm somewhat excitedly. “Thank you… thank you!”
Bai Jinghong snorted lightly, took Xu Sixin’s phone, opened a website, and directly played a movie with moans and groans.
“Study up first!”
With that, he turned and left the suite.
After leaving two men to guard the door, he headed towards the White Tiger Hall location.
Save her? They were all his own people—was there even a need to save anyone?
Bai Jinghong was going there purely to put on an act and farm goodwill. He also needed that little brat to be grateful to him, to be more affectionate towards him.
That way, when Gu Tianming crossed the border and arrived in Dragon Sea, the little brat should be calling him ‘uncle’.
Making Gu Tianming thank him for saving his wife and child was also key. That way, he could watch the dogs fight.
With Bai Jinghong’s skills at sowing discord, Chen Lin and Gu Tianming were bound to clash.
Meanwhile, he would just hide behind the scenes, sleeping with Xu Sixin while watching the show.
After leaving the hotel, Bai Jinghong thought for a moment and decided to give Shen Yaoyao a call.
“Jinghong, what’s the situation now?” Shen Yaoyao’s tone carried some worry.
“It’s fine!”
“Yaoyao, you’re skilled in disguise. And from the Hell Organization, those Underworld Guards who died last time… you should remember their faces, right?”
Shen Yaoyao responded on the other end, “I remember!”
“Good, get ready. I’ll have one of Wu Tao’s three men brought over. Cut out his tongue and put a disguise on him!”
Shen Yaoyao didn’t immediately grasp the reason but quickly agreed.
In actuality, Bai Jinghong wanted Gu Tianming to recognize an Underworld Guard, thus provoking a war between him and Chen Lin.
Many people had never seen the Underworld Guards, but Gu Tianming had—after all, they were Chen Lin’s personal guards.
The White Tiger Hall incident absolutely couldn’t be traced back to the White Tiger Hall itself. It had to be pinned on Chen Lin.
He would pretend to have captured someone from the Underworld Guards for Gu Tianming, and Gu Tianming could easily identify him.
Once Gu Tianming connected the dots, realizing the Underworld Guards had bullied his daughter, he, already burning with rage, wouldn’t stop to think things through.
After making these arrangements, Bai Jinghong headed to a White Tiger Hall stronghold, ready to put on a little play.
Meanwhile, in a small town to the west.
Gu Tianming and four of his trusted confidants appeared in the town.
He was filled with regret, with remorse!
He had charged over aggressively, ready to cross the border and rescue his daughter!
But damn it, the Chinese military had blocked his tens of thousands of men right outside the border line.
They even dispatched over twenty gunships!
The roaring thunder of their engines, the loudspeakers on the helicopters cycling through warnings.
“Those who trespass against China, though far away, will be punished!” and a whole series of other warnings.
It scared his mercenaries so much they didn’t dare cross the border.
Their initial hot-blooded fervor was suddenly doused with cold water.
Left with no choice, the grand spectacle was gone. The aggressively charging mercenaries turned tail like dogs and drove back.
This left Gu Tianming feeling rather embarrassed.
Gu Tianming could only rely on himself and a few confidants, sneaking in with their superior physical skills.
Now they were in an alleyway in this town, discussing plans.
“Death God, we should hurry to Dragon Sea. Just the few of us are enough. We must rescue the little miss as quickly as possible!”
One of the confidants consoled him.
“Yes, Death God, a mere faction within a city can be annihilated with a flick of a finger!”
Gu Tianming naturally understood this.
At this moment, his eyes were bloodshot as he howled at the sky: “Ah~”
“Duo Duo, Daddy’s coming. Don’t be afraid. Daddy’s coming to save you! Ah~ Ah~”
“Ah~”
Gu Tianming hollered, venting the fury in his heart.
“Splash!”
Just as Gu Tianming was roaring, a basin of water was suddenly thrown down from a floor above.
Gu Tianming, immersed in his grief, was caught off guard and drenched.
Immediately after, a cursing voice rang out.
“Are you brain-dead or what? Hollering non-stop under someone’s window? Anyone would think your hemorrhoids are acting up!”
“You’re courting death!” Gu Tianming’s confidant roared angrily.
The person upstairs had a temper too and directly cursed back: “I’m courting death? Screw your mother!”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah your mom’s head! Do you have any public decency?”
“All this noise and racket! Don’t the neighbors need to sleep? People have work tomorrow! Get lost!”
Gu Tianming was truly burning with rage. Sleeping in the middle of the day? This was a deliberate provocation.
But thinking of his daughter still in a dog cage, eating with the dogs…
He had no mind for anything else. Normally, that person would have already earned a death sentence.
Gu Tianming memorized the location to settle the score later.
Right now, he and his confidants directly stole a car and headed to the airport, preparing to fly to Dragon Sea.
