the next day.

Bai Chao woke up from a sweet dream.

He was stunned for a moment when he opened his eyes, and then he came to his senses.

Bai Chao looked to the side, but Yang An was no longer there. The quilt and pillow were not wrinkled at all, as if no one had slept there.

Yang An had already gone to work and didn't wake him up.

Bai Chao rubbed his eyes and walked out the door, and saw the little brat eating breakfast at the table.

The new aunt was already busy in the kitchen. Lu Zihong was sweet-mouthed and praised the food with every bite, making the aunt laugh happily.

Bai Chao leaned against the door, looking coldly at Lu Zihong who was pretending to be serious.

001 suddenly said, "This little guy really looks a bit like you when you were a kid, always trying to make people happy."

Bai Chao: "...Nonsense, I wasn't like this when I was a kid."

Lu Zihong only saw him at this time, waving a small spoon, as if the conflict yesterday had disappeared, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Brother Bai, it's time for breakfast!"

Upon hearing this, the aunt hurried out and wiped her hands on her apron: "Hello, Master Bai, I'm the new aunt. If you want to eat anything, you can tell me and I'll make it."

Bai Zhao walked slowly to the table, which was filled with Chinese breakfast. Lu Zihong didn't eat much, so there was still a lot left on the table.

"No thanks." Bai Chao sat down at the table, picked up a steaming bun and ate it lazily.

Auntie said, "Okay, Master Bai, if you need anything, just tell me."

Lu Zihong rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "Auntie, I want to eat apple pie, bacon cheese toast, and milk oatmeal tomorrow, is that ok?"

The aunt was at a loss for a moment, and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Master Lu, I only know how to cook Chinese food."

Bai Chao snorted a laugh through his nose.

Lu Zihong lay on the table in frustration, but said considerately: "It's okay, Auntie, you cook delicious Chinese food."

Bai Chao took a sip of soy milk when his cell phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was a video call from Lin Weiwei.

Bai Chao hesitated for a moment, but still clicked the answer button.

A girl appeared on the other end of the line, staring at him.

Bai Chao smiled: "Weiwei."

The girl's somewhat angry voice came from the phone: "Bai Chao, how long has it been since you contacted us? Dawei also said that you...wait..."

Lin Weiwei leaned in closer to look at her phone, and her expression immediately became worried: "A Chao, what's wrong with your head?!"

Bai Chao touched the bandage on his head and said nonchalantly, "This, I accidentally hit my head, it's okay."

Lin Weiwei frowned: "Your head is so big, and you still say it's okay."

"It's okay."

Lin Weiwei didn't believe it: "Where are you now? I just went to your class to look for you. Your roommate said you haven't been to school for a long time. I asked Dawei but he couldn't tell me where you were. I'll go check on you."

Bai Chao's expression changed, and he shook his head again: "No, I live outside now, I will come to see you in a few days."

"You..." Lin Weiwei was silent for a while, and spoke with some difficulty, "Are you injured because of an accident in your family..."

"Ok?"

Bai Chao looked at Lin Weiwei, who suddenly became sad, with some confusion.

Lin Weiwei said: "I just found out that my uncle and aunt were in trouble, and I wanted to ask about your situation, but you also..."

"what?"

Bai Chao was stunned for a moment. Didn't people in their circle already know about the Bai family's bankruptcy?

Lin Weiwei was also stunned: "Don't you know? Uncle Bai almost jumped to his death... The whole school knew about it, and it was also reported on the news. How could you not know?"

"..."

Bai Chao suddenly stood up and walked towards the door, but two bodyguards in black appeared outside the door and raised their hands to block his way.

"Step aside!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai. Mr. Yang said that you are not allowed to go out today."

Bai Chao clenched his phone tightly, and forced a smile on his face: "The room is too stuffy, I just want to go out for some fresh air."

But the black-clad bodyguard remained unmoved: “Sorry.”

An anxious female voice came from Bai Chao's phone: "A Chao? A Chao? Are you okay?"

The black-clad bodyguard suddenly reached out and took the white phone away: "Boss Yang said you need to rest for a few days, so we will keep the phone for now."

Bai Chao was extremely angry: "Give it back to me!"

But the bodyguard in black simply turned off the phone and put it in his pocket, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Master Bai, please go back and rest."

Bai Chao closed the door angrily.

When he turned around, he saw Lu Zihong lying on the chair and blinking at him.

Bai Chao glared at him: "What are you looking at!"

Lu Zihong silently retracted his head.

My aunt also hid in the kitchen and dared not say a word.

Bai Chao kicked over another chair and walked back to the bedroom with a gloomy face.

But when he returned to the bedroom, the anger in his body disappeared immediately.

Bai Chao said coldly: "001."

001 shuddered and opened his third eye with great difficulty.

Recently, it has become accustomed to the host opening his third eye, and only seeing the protagonist, and it can't remember to see the supporting characters.

Didn't the male protagonist already pay off the Bai family's debt? Why did Bai's father suddenly become so depressed...

In Tianyan's eyes, Bai's father was lying weakly on the bed with a pale face, while Bai's mother was lying beside the bed crying silently.

"How can you be so cruel... to abandon us mother and son just for that broken chip..."

Although Mr. Bai was weak, he still tried his best to hold his wife's hand.

"I'm sorry... This chip is the foundation of the Bai family, and it is also the hard work of my teacher... I can't..."

"So you're going to commit suicide while protecting this chip?"

Bai's mother burst into tears and kept hitting Bai's father's arm.

“…” Father Bai silently endured his wife’s anger, but he couldn’t explain why he didn’t commit suicide.

Although it looked very similar, he took the initiative to walk to the rooftop, and he was also accidentally tripped by a nail, and the railing of the rooftop was also broken by chance... Everything was a coincidence. If Yang An hadn't caught him at that moment, he really looked like a person who was desperate and jumped off the building to commit suicide...

Bai Chao lowered his eyes and watched the scene silently.

"Where is the male lead?"

The picture in the Sky Eye suddenly changed.

Yang An was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of a high-rise building, while Assistant Fang was holding a stack of documents and reporting something.

Yang An's voice was cold: "A sect?"

Assistant Fang said: "Yes, President Lu was once called Lu Wenhe, and he and Bai Dongsheng were classmates in the same school and were students under the same tutor."

"But then the mentor suddenly died overnight, Lu Wenhe's whereabouts were unknown, and after two years of depression, Bai Dongsheng suddenly established the Bai Group with assets of over 100 million yuan with just a chip."

"From this, it can be seen that President Lu probably has an old grudge against Mr. Bai, but I don't know why he waited until today to take action."

A cold light flashed in Yang An's eyes.

This was the place he and Bai Dongsheng had agreed to meet at, but he didn't know that Bai Dongsheng had gone there early, and an "accident" almost happened.

He knew that President Lu wanted to use him to get blood, and had been brainwashing the Bai family about the feud between him and him.

He was really annoyed by the fact that the Bai family used other means to suppress and vent their anger in the lawsuit.

But the car accident has nothing to do with the Bai family.

As for Bai Chao... he was young and had not yet developed a sense of right and wrong. He was easily gullible and was blinded by vanity.

He thought he could watch the decline and demise of the Bai family with a cold eye, but when he saw Bai Chao, who had been raised into a playboy by the Bai family, in the bar, he found himself wavering.

He wondered how the Bai Dynasty could survive without the Bai family.

Even if he blamed Bai Chao for being heartless, he could not watch his former brother and the Bai family fall together.

So he took Bai Chao away in advance.

There was constant internal strife in the Holy Union, and President Lu had no time to take care of it, so he handed the matter against the Bai family over to him.

Although he had no good feelings towards the two people from the Bai family, he did not think of doing it himself and chose a slow commercial suppression.

But what President Lu wanted was the destruction of the family, and he delayed for too long, which made the president suspicious.

President Lu arranged for him to witness it with his own eyes as a warning, and also to test whether he was loyal, whether he would save people or stand by and watch them die...

If he hadn't grabbed Bai Dongsheng's hand at that time...

Bai Chao would...

Yang An's fingers hanging at his side tightened slightly.

Assistant Fang suddenly spoke up, his voice a little hesitant: "Boss Yang, there is no clue about the driver who hit you four years ago, but we have found something else..."

Yang An raised his eyes and said, "Speak."

"The dozen or so thugs who smashed and destroyed your house have been released from the detention center. When our people investigated, they found the symbols of the Holy Synod on them..."

Yang An paused slightly, his expression growing colder.

Wasn’t it the Bai family who did what happened back then?

He thought of the two lawyers who had delayed and then changed their minds...

"Go check when the Bai family withdrew the lawsuit."

"Yes."
