Supreme Dragon Palace

An Lianxue looked at Bai Meng's leaving figure, under the dim street lights, she looked so lonely and desolate, like a dog with a heavy load.

She suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in her heart, for a moment, she opened her mouth and wanted to call Bai Meng to stop, to promise him, leave this troubled world together, find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters that no one knows, and live in seclusion from now on, not caring about worldly affairs.

However, in the end, she didn't say a word and sighed silently.

"Miss, does he already know something?" At this moment, a gray-haired old man quietly appeared beside An Lianxue.

An Lianxue smiled bitterly, and said: "I said so much just now, if he still can't guess anything, then he won't be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Bai family. I was too impatient about today's matter. My intentions were revealed."

The old man frowned, his eyes flickered with murderous intent, and said coldly: "Miss, do you want me to silence you?"

An Lianxue waved her hand and said, "No, he won't leak it."

"Miss, you used all your connections and relationships to get this opportunity from the Patriarch. If you fail, you will have to accept the family's arrangement and become a tool for marriage. We can only win this time, not lose. I will never allow anything that could cause you to fail."

The old man said in a cold voice, his old face was full of killing intent.

"Uncle Qing." An Lianxue turned her head to look at the old man who grew up with her and took good care of her, smiled and said firmly, "Trust me, he will help me hide it, and even, at critical moments, he will help me , wish me the completion of my plan!"

The old man seemed puzzled, frowned and asked: "Miss, doesn't he dare to betray Long Yi?"

An Lianxue got up and walked to the window, looking at the taillights of cars going away, her eyes revealed a touch of sadness and helplessness, as well as a hint of deep apology and self-blame.

Her voice suddenly became erratic, as if it came from far away.

"He will not betray Long Yi."

After a pause, before the old man could speak, An Lianxue spoke again, "However, he will not betray me, let alone let me have an accident."

"so……"

An Lianxue didn't continue talking, but she couldn't hide her sadness in her expression.

The old man was slightly startled, and fell silent. He recalled Bai Meng's words before leaving, as well as his tone and demeanor at that time, and seemed to understand something.

He looked at An Lianxue's lonely and sad back, and sighed softly.

He backed away quietly, and An Lianxue was left alone in Nuo Da's living room, standing alone in front of the French windows, motionless...

In the car.

Bai Meng leaned on the leather seat, watching the night scene passing by outside the car, his eyes were complicated, hesitation, struggle, pain and determination...

The driver glanced at Bai Meng who was not in the right state through the rearview mirror, and asked worriedly: "Patriarch, are you alright?"

Bai Meng shook his head, and asked suddenly: "Bai Chi, are there many people in the clan who say that I am cruel and merciless, and that I consider a thief as my father? They say that for the sake of being the head of the family, I colluded with outsiders to kill my brother and my father?" And grandpa?"

The driver Bai Chi's face changed slightly, and he quickly replied: "Patriarch, absolutely not, everyone in the clan praises you for your ability and decisiveness. After taking over the Bai family, the status of the Bai family has risen sharply in such a short period of time, and the income has skyrocketed. , everyone respects you very much..."

"Although there are rumors about the death of the old Patriarch and the others, we don't believe it at all. Those are intentional people who deliberately slandered you. They are envious of our Bai family, so they want to discredit you..."

Bai Chi looked at Bai Meng carefully, his expression a little nervous.

Bai Meng smiled and didn't speak any more, but looked out of the car in a daze, wondering whether he believed Bai Chi's words or not.

At this time, Bai Chi was also quite disturbed.

He didn't know why the Patriarch suddenly said this, there were indeed some gossips in the clan, many people respected Bai Meng on the surface, but secretly they had a lot of criticism.

Could it be that the Patriarch is planning to carry out a big cleansing in the clan?

Bai Chi's expression was dignified and hesitant, he didn't know if he should notify those people in advance.However, if the Patriarch finds out that he is tipping off the news, not only will he lose his job, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to gain a foothold in Linhai in the future...

Bai Meng didn't know Bai Chi's brainstorm at the moment, he just asked on a whim just now, and he didn't want to clean anything.

Besides, those people were right. Although Bai Mu and his father were not killed by him himself, they died because of him.

In the past, he longed for power, and in order to gain a position of power, he would do anything by hook or by crook.

However, when he got all these, he realized that he was not as happy as he imagined, and he also knew that what he really wanted was not at all, what he wanted was the affirmation and praise from his father. .

But he will never get it!

An Lianxue came to him at the darkest moment of his life. Her tenderness, caring, and understanding made him seem to have found a confidant in life, like a ray of sunshine in a dark life, bringing him a new life hope.

He is really in love with her.

He thought he had found the happiness of his life!

But now he realized that everything was just a dream.

In this world, no one can truly save anyone!
Bai Meng lowered the car window, let the cold wind rage on his face, and calmed himself down completely.

Looking at the dark sky above his head, he could clearly feel the dullness and oppression in the air, as well as the strong smell of gunpowder.

The war is about to begin!

"Bai Chi, let's go home. You should inform the lawyer team of the Bai family, several clan elders, to wait for me in the study, and..." Bai Meng paused for a moment, hesitated, and continued, "Will my eldest brother Bring Bai Qi back, if he doesn't cooperate, tie him back."

Bai Chi's complexion changed, and he glanced at Bai Meng through the rearview mirror. Could it be that the Patriarch is going to attack Qi Shao?He is very clear that Qi Shao firmly believes that Bai Meng killed a lot of close relatives in order to seize the position of Patriarch, and the two sides have been in constant conflict, and the situation is like fire and water.

Qi Shao even moved out of the Bai family's compound, announcing that he would sever brotherhood with Bai Meng, preferring to do coolies to earn his own living, and refused to accept all financial support from the Bai family!
Now Patriarch Bai Meng suddenly asked someone to tie Qi Shao back. Is this to be settled by Qiuhou?
Bai Chi is so entangled now that he doesn't know what to do!
He didn't want to betray Patriarch Baimeng and live up to Patriarch Baimeng's trust, but he also didn't want to see another bloodshed incident in the Baimeng family...

"Incandescent, did you hear that?"

Seeing that Bai Chi hadn't responded, Bai Meng frowned slightly and asked again.

"Yes, Patriarch, I will notify right away." Bai Chi came back to his senses, he glanced at the Patriarch through the rearview mirror, the Patriarch's expression was calm, showing no signs of happiness or anger, he hesitated for a while, and finally summoned up the courage to ask, "Patriarch, I, can I have the courage to ask you for mercy? Can you let Qi Shao go?"

Bai Meng was startled for a moment, then he came to his senses and asked instead, "You want to intercede for him? Are you not afraid that I will do you too?"

Now that he has said this, Bai Chi's heart is not so frightened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qi Shao is kind to our family. A few years ago, my father was framed and almost sent to prison. Qi Shao guaranteed my father’s escape from prison, and later, Qi Shao found out the truth of the matter and returned my father’s innocence, our family has always been grateful for it!”

Bai Meng nodded, and said with a smile: "I really didn't misunderstand you. You are a good man who values ​​love and righteousness, and knows how to repay you. The Bai family needs a talent like you. Don't worry, Bai Qi is my eldest brother." , I will not hurt him."

"Great! Patriarch is such a good man!" Bai Chi was a little excited.

"Okay, stop flattering, hurry up and do what I ordered."

After Bai Meng finished speaking, he moved his eyes out of the window again. It was the first time he discovered that the night near the sea was so beautiful.

He looked at all this greedily, as if he wanted to imprint them all in his mind.

"Snowing……"

Snowflakes fluttered down from the sky, fell on his face and hands, and soon melted away, and there was an affectionate smile on his face.

"Xiaoxue, did you see it? It's snowing in Linhai too..."

"You used to say that you really wanted to go to the north to see the snow, to hold hands with your loved one and grow old together, to go sledding, to see ice sculptures..."

"In the future, you will definitely be able to find that one of him and accompany you all over the world. I hope that you at that time will not have the sorrows you have now. Although I don't know what happened to you, I can feel that the you now, It's just a canary trapped in a cage, yearning for the sky, struggling for freedom."

"Your cage is too strong, let me help you break it!"

Bai Meng raised his head slightly, closed his eyes, and let the snowflakes fall on his face, it was bitingly cold, just like Lian Xue's ever-cold fingers brushed gently across his face, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly ...
