Early morning.
Capital city, Bai family.
Bai Yujing was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, today he was extraordinarily spirited, dressed in a straight suit with a bow tie, dressed very handsomely.
Bai Jianjun, who was sitting across the table, took a sip of milk and said, “Yujing, did you hear about what happened last night?”
“What was it?”Bai Yujing asked.
“You don’t know?”
Bai Jianjun looked a little surprised, in his opinion, his son was a know-it-all, there was nothing that he didn’t know about any major events in the capital.
“I went out and drank some wine with friends yesterday and got high, so I went to bed early.”Bai Yujing asked, “Father, what is it you’re talking about?”
Bai Jianjun said, “The Military God left the capital last night.”
“Oh?”Bai Yujing was a bit surprised, “As far as I know, the Military God hasn’t left the capital in ten years, where did he go?”
“He went to the Northwest.”Bai Jianjun said, “He went to the ground in the early hours of the morning and came back before dawn.”
“Did something happen in the Northwest?”Bai Yujing asked.
Bai Jianjun said in a deep voice, “The Military God won’t leave the capital easily, I guess something big must have happened in the Northwest, as for what exactly, I don’t know yet. However, I had the butler go out early in the morning to ask around.”
As the two were talking, the butler hurriedly walked in from outside.
“Good day Mr Bai, good day young master.”
The butler respectfully greeted the Bai family’s father and son.
“Did you find out what I asked you to inquire about?”Bai Jianjun asked.
“Inquired.”The butler said, “I looked for some connections and they told me that the reason the Military God suddenly went to the Northwest last night was because something big happened in the Northwest.”
“As for what exactly is going on, I’ve asked quite a few people and none of them know.”
“But news came from the Northwest this morning, saying that early in the morning, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, General Long Haisheng, left the command headquarters and took the Northwest’s top brass to the Gobi Beach.”
Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Bai Yujing’s eyes.
Bai Jianjun was a bit dissatisfied and said, “I asked you to inquire about news, not to give me this irrelevant stuff, is there any other news?”
“There is.”The housekeeper said, “According to reliable sources, Ye Qiu is dead.”
“What did you say?”Bai Yujing’s eyes steeply became sharp as he stared at the butler with a deadly stare.
Instantly, the butler only felt as if he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, so scared that his heart was in his throat as he said with trepidation, “Ye Qiu is dead.”
“Which Ye Qiu?”Bai Jianjun said.
“It’s that Ye Qiu from Jiangzhou Hospital, I heard that he was from the Underworld Palace, went on a mission to the Northwest, and was buried under the yellow sand.”The housekeeper glanced at Bai Yujing and added, “Ye Qiu and Missy were very close.”
“So it’s him.”Bai Jianjun laughed, “Good death.”
Bai Yujing laughed as well, “I was worried before that that Ye Qiu kid would make a fuss about Bai Bing’s wedding, preparing to intercept and kill him, and made some arrangements, but now it seems that my worries were completely redundant.”
“This is good, once Ye Qiu died, it has in turn reduced a lot of trouble for me.”
“Father, this is a time to celebrate, come, let’s clink a glass.”
Bai Yujing raised the milk in front of him and clinked it with Bai Jianjun.
“Right Yujing, how is Bai Bing these days? Being obedient?”Bai Jianjun asked.
Bai Yujing replied, “What kind of character Bai Bing has, father you know best, how could she be at our mercy?”
“Ever since Bai Bing returned to the capital, now that she’s been tricked by me, she’s been dying every day.”
“So, I had to find a place and lock her up.”
Bai Jianjun was a bit uneasy and asked, “What if she seeks death?”
“Father, you can rest assured, I sent someone to watch her twenty-four hours a day, and inside the house, I also installed a dozen or so cameras, her every move, cannot escape my eyes.”
“Not only that, the place where he is locked up I built according to the standards of the Qin City Prison, even if she hits the wall, she can’t die.”
Bai Yujing said, “No matter what, this time, we must marry her into the Pei family, that way, father’s desire to be transferred to a post in the Jinling Military Region will be secure.”
Bai Jianjun nodded.
“There’s one more thing I need to tell father.”Bai Yujing said, “I went to the Xiangguo Temple to find a master to look at it, next Wednesday is a good day, I would like to ask father to make a trip to the Pei family later, and if the Pei family has no problem with it, then let’s set Bai Bing and Pei Jie’s wedding for next Wednesday!”
“Next Wednesday?”Bai Jianjun frowned slightly, “Isn’t that a bit too hasty?”
“If the wedding is held earlier, father will be able to go to the Jinling military region earlier, if father isn’t in a hurry, then I can re-invite a master to look at the date”
“No need, just next Wednesday so as not to be late.”
Bai Jianjun was now dreaming of going to the Jinling Military Region, after all, once he went, the one gold star on his shoulder could turn into two gold stars.
If he then relied on the Bai family’s heritage and the Pei family’s connections, maybe after another four or five years, he would be able to carry three gold stars on his shoulders.
At that time, he would be a party lord with military power in his hands.
“Father, since you agree, then it will be hard for you to make a trip to the Pei family later.”
“Leave this to me.”
After breakfast.
Bai Jianjun hurriedly went to the Pei family, while Bai Yujing drove to a villa in the city.
The villa covered an area of thousands of square metres, and was worth several hundred million dollars in the capital, a place where land was like gold.
At this moment, there were dozens of bodyguards patrolling the courtyard of the villa.
“Young Master!”
Seeing Bai Yujing, these bodyguards greeted respectfully.
“Hmm.”Bai Yujing faintly mumbled and walked into the villa, and just as he entered, a short woman in a black suit appeared in front of him.
“Good day young master.”The woman greeted respectfully.
“How is she?”Bai Yujing asked.
“Young Miss has been on hunger strike for two days.”The woman replied.
“Hmph.”Bai Yujing let out a cold snort and led by the woman to the basement.
At this moment, outside the basement, there were eight female bodyguards standing.
The door to the basement was transparent, and from the outside, one could see the scene inside, which only had a bed and white ice, other than that, there was nothing.
Bai Yujing had ordered people to empty the inside just to prevent Bai Bing from committing suicide.
“Bai Bing, I came to see you.”Bai Yujing stood at the doorway and said with a smile.
Bai Bing had her hair spread out, her pretty face was dark and yellow, and she had lost a lot of weight, very different from her usual appearance as that noble iceberg goddess.
Hearing the voice, she lifted her head, her eyes gazing icily at Bai Yujing, saying, “No need to persuade me, any more you say is just a waste of words, I will not marry Pei Jie.”
“You’re mistaken, I’m not here to persuade you today.”Bai Yujing laughed, “I have a message for you.”
“Scram! I don’t want to hear anything!”Bai Bing cursed angrily.
Bai Yujing wasn’t angry at all and laughed, “You don’t want to hear news about Ye Qiu either?”
“What happened to Ye Qiu?”Bai Bing asked anxiously.
Bai Yujing smiled faintly, “He died.”
