Gong Chen was stunned when he looked at the photo and stopped what he was doing.
After Lin Zhiyi noticed it, he opened his eyes and turned to his phone.
What caught my eye was an old photo.
The middle-aged man in the photo looked dignified and solemn, but his eyes had an indescribable coldness.
"Who is this?"
"Bai Zhengxian's father."
Gong Chen enlarged the photo, revealing the tattoo on Bai Zhengxian's wrist.
It's the cruise ship logo.
Lin Zhiyi was confused and asked, "Is there something wrong with such an old photo?"
Gong Chen swiped his phone calmly, and another photo appeared.
Lin Zhiyi was surprised: "This is..."
A face very similar to Mr. Bai's.
"The second master of the Bai family." Gong Chen explained.
"Master Bai has brothers?"
Lin Zhiyi had never heard of this.
"I heard that he was in poor health when he was born and has been raised abroad." Gong Chen hinted at something.
"Is there something wrong with him?"
Lin Zhiyi knew very well that Gong Chen would not suddenly get to know a stranger.
Gong Chen looked at the photo and said, "This person frequently appeared in Southeast Asia a year before Mr. Bai's accident."
Lin Zhiyi was stunned.
"After the Bai family got into trouble, did they also go to Southeast Asia?"
"Ah."
"Do you think there is a connection between the two?" Lin Zhiyi tilted his head and looked at him.
"We don't know at the moment, but according to our investigation, he just entered the country today. It looks like the Bai family is going to make a big move."
Gong Chen lowered his head and rested his chin on Lin Zhiyi's forehead, stroking it affectionately.
"Zhiyi, be careful."
Lin Zhiyi nodded and assured: "I won't hold you back, but you, Gong Yao and Bai Ruoshu are tied together, will it implicate you?"
"Just right, clean up the mess."
"Ok?"
Lin Zhiyi was stunned.
Before he could come to his senses, his head was pressed against his chest.
"Go to bed. Why are you talking about other people so late at night?"
"Business." Lin Zhiyi emphasized.
"Gong Yao is not the main concern, I am. If I can't sleep..."
"I'm tired, go to sleep."
Lin Zhiyi doesn't want to be unable to get up again tomorrow.
……
White House.
As soon as the wind and rain stopped, the Bai family stood on the porch in front of the house.
The black business car rushed out of the night and stopped under the light.
The servant stepped forward and opened the car door. Before the person got out of the car, a tortoise-shell cane fell to the ground.
With two beeps, the figure in the car arrived as expected.
Bai Zhengxian stepped forward and said, "Second uncle, how are you?"
Mr. Bai glanced at him lightly.
"But I asked you to come back to China to do something, and such a big thing happened. Do you know how much I lost from the overseas art museums?"
In front of Mr. Bai Er, Bai Zhengxian restrained himself a lot.
"Sorry, Uncle."
Seeing this, Yang Jingwei stepped forward to support him.
"Uncle, there was indeed a problem this time, but it is now out of danger. After the banquet, it will definitely not affect the cruise plan."
Mr. Bai looked at Yang Jingwei and said, "I heard that the idea of recognizing relatives was yours, and it is quite useful."
After he finished speaking, Bai Zheng's face turned pale.
Yang Jingwei immediately said, "Second Uncle, it was Zhengxian who reminded me that he has so many important matters to deal with, and it is my duty as his wife to handle such small matters for him."
Bai Zhengxian's expression finally relaxed.
Mr. Bai placed his hands on the tortoise-shell handle and nodded.
Then he looked at Bai Ruoshu.
"I heard that you and Gong Yao are together?"
"Yes." Bai Ruoshu said respectfully.
"Let's find a time to get married first. That old man from the Gong family can't hide from this mess anymore."
Mr. Bai made the final decision.
Bai Ruoshu frowned and retorted, "I don't like Gong Yao! I won't get engaged to such a man! Most of the Gong family's assets are in the hands of the Third Master, and I would marry him if I were to marry."
Master Bai snorted coldly.
"Based on your current reputation? Your family has spent money and hired people to keep your fans. Do you really think that you can turn the tables just by saying you don't like them? Your fans are not ordinary people. They are all valuable people. Your engagement with Gong Yao can at least help you win back some popularity among those simple-minded people."
"I……"
Bai Ruoshu wanted to argue, but was interrupted by Yang Jingwei.
"Ruoshu, your second grandfather is right. You are the eldest daughter of the Bai family, so you should shoulder the family's responsibilities and not lose your status."
Yang Jingwei winked at her.
Bai Ruoshu stepped back, lowered her head and said, "I understand."
Mr. Bai walked straight into the house.
An hour later, Yang Jingwei walked into Mr. Bai's room.
The person in the room seemed to have expected this and didn't even raise his head.
"Has Ruoshu been appeased?"
"Yes. She will go to discuss the engagement with Gong Yao tomorrow."
Yang Jingwei stepped forward, put her hands on Mr. Bai's shoulders, and massaged him gently.
Mr. Bai Er did not reject it and said with pleasure: "Zhengxian said that you have been causing trouble for the second wife of the Gong family and her daughter since you returned to the country. Do you know them?"
Yang Jingwei paused.
"I don't know him. I just heard that the Second Madam is easy to fool, so it can be considered a breakthrough. I didn't expect that the Second Master is such a hidden person."
"Back when the Bai family withdrew from the domestic market, it was the old man from the Gong family who fanned the flames. When he was young, he seemed to indulge in sensual pleasures, but his methods were actually ruthless and he even swallowed up his wife's family. He never expected that when he got old, the father and son would become estranged. This is retribution!"
Mr. Bai laughed out loud.
He took the opportunity to hold Yang Jingwei's hand on his shoulder.
Yang Jingwei shuddered all over and pursed her lips.
"I'll run you a bath to help you relax."
"Ah."
……
It was a stormy night and the road conditions were reported in the news.
Everything cleared up with just a few words.
At the same time, the popularity of the online art gallery case also cleared up.
They keep retreating, and it's obvious that someone is controlling public opinion.
Instead, hot searches included Bai family donating money, Bai family visiting victims, Bai family adopting victims, etc.
The Bai family's reputation is also rising little by little.
Bai Ruoshu made an appointment with Gong Yao for lunch at noon and talked about some business.
Gong Chen drank half a glass of wine before he digested Bai Ruoshu's words.
"got engaged?"
He looked down on Bai Ruoshu.
Especially Bai Ruoshu, who is still struggling in public opinion.
"Yeah." Bai Ruoshu took a sip of water and nodded calmly.
"Bai Ruoshu, we just slept together once, there's no need to make a big deal out of it. We're just pretending to be a couple now just to save face for both families."
"Fourth Master, I am informing you, not discussing with you."
"Bai Ruoshu, watch your choice of words." Gong Yao narrowed his eyes.
"Fourth Master, did you feel comfortable that day? But this is a gift I prepared especially for you. If this video gets out, do you think you will still have a place in the huge Gong family?"
"you!"
Gong Yao’s face turned pale.
At the exhibition that day, he felt hot all over after chatting with Bai Ruoshu.
Bai Ruoshu helped him into the room. He thought it was Bai Ruoshu who was with him, so he did not refuse the intimacy.
Until he woke up and looked at the person on the bed, he was completely stunned.
Before he could figure out the situation, he was taken away from the art gallery by Bai Ruoshu's men.
Then came the arrests.
He thought he had dodged a bullet.
Unexpectedly, Bai Ruoshu came to the door with a video the next day.
He was forced to come forward to protect her.
Bai Ruoshu noticed Gong Yao's anger and chuckled as she poured him a glass of wine.
"Don't be angry. After we got engaged, we were in the same boat. How could I possibly leak the video? I can't protect you enough."
"Besides, the Fourth Master is in need of help right now. As long as my Bai Family prospers, do you still need to be afraid of the Third Master? Wasn't that why you approached me in the first place?"
Gong Yao knew he had no way out.
"how do you want to do it?"
"My mother will announce our happy event at this banquet."
Bai Ruoshu smiled, with a hint of teasing and self-mockery.
They are two people who obviously dislike each other, but they are tied together.
