I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family - Chapter 769 - 717 The Brain is a Good Thing
Chapter 769: Chapter 717 The Brain is a Good Thing
Hearing Bai Zhi’s voice, many people gathered, all of them watching Han Feng’s injured appearance without a trace of sympathy, all declaring it was what he deserved.
Yet, they still sent him to the hospital.
Alone at home, Bai Zhi returned to her room, locked the door, then clutched the piece of paper in her hand tightly, tears falling.
It was from Han Feng, who had used such a decisive method just to give her a message.
Bai Zhi unfolded the note, which bore an address in the Imperial City.
Clutching it tightly, she stepped outside her room and gazed at the star-studded sky.
In the end, she did not leave the house.
That night, Bai Zhi did not sleep at all, merely reading books…
As dawn broke.
Great Grandpa arrived with Bai Xiang, “Han Feng has been arrested, and they say he will be locked up for a few days.”
But where exactly he was detained and by whom remained uncertain.
“Great Grandpa, I would like to ask you all to go check on my aunt.”
Bai Zhi handed the note to Bai Ming.
The reason she hadn’t gone the night before was that she couldn’t gamble with Han Feng’s life.
If she had gone, there was no telling whether Han Sheng would become suspicious.
“Okay, we’ll go have a look. You be careful at home on your own, and if anything happens, call your uncle; he’s at home.”
Bai Zhi nodded.
Great Grandpa and the others set off, while the sky, speckled with stars just the night before, unknowingly, began to snow.
Initially light, the snow gradually thickened into large flakes resembling goose feathers.
Bai Zhi took the pig’s head, tail, and other parts of pork, to start preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner.
She vaguely remembered last year when the whole family celebrated the New Year together, yet this year, she was busy alone, though everything was nearly over.
Patiently, Bai Zhi started boiling, then after boiling, she skimmed everything off and added sea kelp skins, dried bamboo shoots, and carrots.
This was the mixed vegetable dish, soaking up the flavor of the pig’s head meat, with the different vegetables perfectly melding together.
The aroma of dried bamboo shoots, the freshness of the sea kelp, and the sweetness of carrots eventually became the delicious mixed vegetable dish.
Once everything was cooked, Bai Zhi skimmed them out and set them aside.
That afternoon, Bai Dan returned and saw Bai Zhi cooking fish.
To ensure a year of surplus, it was essential to have a whole fish, from head to tail, along with the white-cut chicken and finally, the fried meatballs.
The meatballs were laid on a bed of cabbage hearts.
Even though there were just two of them, there was a full spread on the table.
Bai Dan, looking at the feast, felt warmth in his heart; he had already visited Bai Xin. He reassured them to rest easy.
“You’ve worked hard, Xingxing.”
Upon his return, Bai Dan saw his granddaughter bustling about relentlessly, evidently worried yet forcing herself to keep going. f.(r)eew ebnov\ll.com
“Grandpa, you can go tell Great Grandpa and the others to come eat.”
This year, they were preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner first, then Bai Ming’s family would take their turn on New Year’s Eve.
“Alright. I’m on my way.”
Bai Zhi observed the blank expanse outside, feeling somewhat lost.
…
Han Feng was in the hospital receiving an IV drip; those mousetraps Bai Zhi had set were uncompromisingly brutal, having clamped down on him severely.
“You see, when do you ever succeed in your tasks? I just asked you to scout out the situation, and you landed yourself in the hospital. Don’t you know that yourself?”
Han Sheng looked at Han Feng lying on the hospital bed, absolutely frustrated, having hoped to uncover something but returning empty-handed nonetheless.
“However, this also shows that the Bai Family definitely has something. Bai Dan has already returned, and I’ll let them relax for a couple of days.
Keep them busy, preferably causing enough commotion to force Bai Dan to leave.”
Han Sheng didn’t want to wait any longer; he couldn’t afford to.
He felt exceptionally cold, his body chilling him to the bone even with the air conditioner and wearing a down jacket; no amount of heat seemed to warm him because his body was already failing, already cold.
“I need to go back, I need to go back, to eat…”
He had to go back. Bai Zhi couldn’t move now, so there was another girl.
He needed to…eat something.
Just then, his phone rang.
“Sir, the food has been found.”
Those few words made Han Sheng’s phone drop to the ground.
Those people were searching every day, looking for his slip-ups, like a bunch of clowns.
He watched them search frantically, watched them foolishly laugh.
But he never anticipated that they would actually find it.
Right at this moment.
What was he going to do?
Han Sheng’s face darkened immediately, his expression grim and his entire face twisted. The wrinkles on his face became even more repulsive.
He looked like a demon straight out of Hell.
He was essentially a demon.
Otherwise, how could he have killed his own son and grandson to keep himself alive?
Now, his greedy eyes turned towards Han Feng.
Should he directly kidnap Bai Zhi to figure out the dragon vein or just kill Han Feng and live on temporarily? He didn’t need to hesitate.
He gritted his teeth and commanded directly,
“Take action, create chaos. No one is celebrating this year.”
Since it had come to this, no one would celebrate the new year.
At Han Sheng’s command, the chaos began.
Soon, Bai Dan and the others received orders to suppress the upheaval.
At the same time, fires broke out in other locations.
Several major cases also encountered problems simultaneously.
Bai Dan and the others were prepared to eat when their phone rang, immediately realizing something was wrong.
Bai Dan now had a phone, so they could directly reach him. The reason Bai Zhi hadn’t gone to the village to make a phone call was because the walls had ears.
“Xingxing, this is a cell phone I’ve prepared for you. Keep it and call me if something comes up.”
Bai Dan placed the phone in Bai Zhi’s hand.
The phone was very compact; Bai Fei and Bai Xiang had just come over.
Bai Fei was still a bit unwilling because she still couldn’t forgive Bai Zhi.
Even now, seeing Bai Zhi made her huff with anger.
“Don’t think I came here because I’ve forgiven you. I’m telling you, I’m still very angry.”
Bai Zhi, as if she hadn’t heard, continued packing things for Bai Dan.
Bai Dan touched Bai Zhi’s head, tears gleaming in his eyes.
“Xingxing. Actually…”
Bai Zhi shook her head with a smile and grasped Bai Dan’s hand.
“Grandpa, you’ve said it— for this place, we can give everything, you can and I can too.
We just need to keep our spirits up together, don’t worry I’ll wait at home for your return.”
A smile appeared on Bai Zhi’s lips. Now that her aunt had left, she truly had nothing to fear.
Bai Fei was angered by Bai Zhi’s disregard.
“Bai Zhi, why aren’t you talking to me?”
At that moment, Bai Fei inexplicably seemed rather irritable, and Bai Zhi originally didn’t want to say anything.
After so long, she thought there would be some understanding between them, but apparently not.
“What do you want me to say? Didn’t you see? My grandpa is heading out now, he has work and cannot stay. I need to walk him to the village entrance. Can you stop being so unreasonable?
Brains are a good thing. But I’ve realized, you don’t have one.”
Those last words from Bai Zhi were a real dig at Bai Fei.
“You, Bai Zhi you…”
