Volume 2: Greed Chapter 129: The Only Way

Because of Old Man Bai's words, although everyone in the Bai family resented Lin Feng, no one dared to go to him for trouble on the surface, he broke into the turmoil of the Bai family alone, and it passed with such thunder and rain, and now the Bai family, because Bai Zhenting suddenly fell to his death without warning, the current right to speak of the Bai family was so naturally handed over to Bai Zhenting's younger brother, the second son of Old Man Bai, Bai Zhenyue.

The current form made the Bai family panic, and Bai Zhenyue, the second child, had long been accustomed to obeying his eldest brother's instructions, and now the burden of the entire family suddenly fell on him, making him completely overwhelmed, but he could only catch the ducks on the shelves and bite the bullet.

Today is the third day of Bai Zhenting's death, according to the rules, his body should be buried in the Bai family's family cemetery today, but on this sunny morning, a man wearing sunglasses and a suit quietly pushed open the door of the Bai family's manor.

The security guard standing inside the gate noticed the man the moment he came in, but when he saw the man's face that could be said to be known to everyone in the entire imperial capital, and everyone knew about it, all of a sudden, the security guard's body unconsciously leaned back, with a shocked face, and stammered dumbfounded: "Zhang... Sheet... ”

Seeing that the security guard recognized him, the man smiled and took off his sunglasses, shook his head slightly at the security guard, and said softly: "No need to report, I am just here today to see the last of my old friends." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to the security guard, raised his right hand and patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then walked straight towards the manor.

And it wasn't until the man's figure disappeared around the corner that the security guard gradually calmed down, wiped the sweat that had just oozing from his forehead, and muttered in distraction: "Why is he here, isn't this smashing the field." ”

In the mourning hall, several middle-aged people of the same age were gathering together, with serious faces and not knowing what they were discussing, and when several people were seriously discussing, Bai Zhenyue, who was standing in front of the door, inadvertently glanced up, and then as if he saw a fierce god, his face changed instantly, and he was stunned in place.

The other middle-aged man standing next to Bai Zhenyue obviously also noticed his strange appearance, and couldn't help but look puzzled, and looked up and asked, "What's wrong?" Second brother. ”

Bai Zhenyue didn't speak, just motioned a few people to look out with his eyes, and the rest of them also understood, and turned their heads to look outside the mourning hall together, and the next moment, everyone's faces changed drastically, and the look of fear seemed to be carved out of a mold.

Suddenly, the entire mourning hall was silent, looking at the man in the distance walking evenly and unhurriedly towards the mourning hall, Bai Zhenyue was the first to come back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and gradually squeezed a name out of his mouth: "Zhang, you, people!"

Bai Zhenyue's words seemed to be the key to activate everyone, and a circle of people recovered from the previous shock, they glanced at each other, and said in a low voice: "Why is he here?"

"What is he doing here?"

"Today is the day of Big Brother Bai's funeral, this guy has absolutely no bad intentions when he comes. ”

"yes, that's really a bad one. ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ ”

At the same time that everyone was whispering, Zhang Youmin finally walked over, stepped into the mourning hall with his feet one after the other, raised his head, and swept his eyes over the faces of several people standing together, Zhang Youmin showed the same smile on his face as usual, the kind of confident smile that seemed to be under his control.

Seeing Zhang Youmin walk in, although no one said it explicitly, as the new head of the family who was the default in everyone's hearts, Bai Zhenyue still had to stand up from the crowd, gritted his teeth and forcibly calmed himself down, and greeted Zhang Youmin with his mouth: "Master Zhang, long time no see." ”

"Huh. ”

Listening to Bai Zhenyue's words, Zhang Youmin also hurriedly waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Return to the head of the family, Brother Zhenyue, you are really a noble person, didn't I pass on the position of the head of the family to my son Junlin a while ago." ”

"Oh, yes. ”

Bai Zhenyue also reacted at this time, his face stiffened, his heart was annoyed, and the sweat on his forehead was like rain in an instant, he couldn't help but lower his head, and spoke softly, his tone was full of weakness: "It's my negligence, I hope Brother Zhang will forgive me." ”

"Haha, forgive me, it's too outward. Zhang Youmin walked up to Bai Zhenyue, stretched out his hands to hold his arms, forced him to raise his head, looked at him, and then smiled: "The relationship between our two families is not so unfamiliar." ”

"Yes, yes, not so rusty. ”

At this time, Bai Zhenyue, who had completely lost his backbone, could only smile brightly, nodded in agreement with Zhang Youmin's words, and saw Bai Zhenyue's inferior reaction, Zhang Youmin frowned without a trace, and then looked around the interior of the mourning hall seemingly casually, and asked in a puzzled tone: "What about Ruxue?"

Hearing Zhang Youmin's inquiry, Bai Zhenyue's body didn't move, but he still bowed his head and replied: "Ruxue has not felt well for the past few days, so we didn't force her to come out, after all, it is a girl's family." ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

Zhang Youmin nodded, with a look of sudden realization, but at this moment, the initiative has completely fallen into his hands, but the rest of the Bai family members present are not stupid people, seeing that Bai Zhenyue has lost the upper hand, a person behind him took a step forward directly, and asked Zhang Youmin: "Brother Zhang, I don't know why you came to my Bai family now?"

"Well, why else. ”

Zhang Youmin let go of the hands holding Bai Zhenyue, and did not glance at the person who spoke at all, but looked down at the crystal coffin where Bai Zhenting's body was kept, and said with a sad face: "I came today just to say goodbye to my old friend and see him for the last time." ”

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ ”

Listening to Zhang Youmin's words, the faces of the Bai family and his party were different, no one answered his words, and they didn't know what to think in their hearts, but it was obvious that no one believed his nonsense at all.

Zhang Youmin was also unimpressed by the reactions of the few people in front of him, only to see him pick up the three pillars of incense from the tribute table with a solemn expression, and after lighting it, he bowed respectfully three times, and then gently inserted the incense that had been lit, and then looked at the crystal coffin, his eyes were distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and everyone in the Bai family also looked at Zhang Youmin with puzzled faces, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

The three-pillar incense burned non-stop, and after a while, the entire mourning hall was filled with the slightly strong smell of sandalwood, which was not pungent, but it was not a good smell.

Just when everyone was staring at Zhang Youmin with different hearts, Zhang Youmin, who had not moved for a long time, suddenly blinked, his eyes regained focus, and then slowly walked to the cold crystal coffin, after a moment of hesitation, stretched out his right hand, slowly put it on the crystal coffin, sighed long, lowered his head, and muttered with a complicated expression: "Zhenting, you go, the imperial capital, but there is a lot less fun, after all, apart from you and me, who else in our generation can be on the stage?"

Although Zhang Youmin's voice was low, the mourning hall was not big, and it was extremely quiet, and everyone in the Bai family still heard every word of his words very clearly, for a while, everyone's faces were full of anger, and even more so they couldn't bear it anymore, and raised their feet and shouted: "You... ”

As soon as he said a word, Zhang Youmin raised his head, and in response to his sharp eagle-like eyes, the rebuke of the Bai family was unexpectedly unspeakable.

"How?"

Zhang Youmin looked at everyone coldly, his face was calm, his voice was low, and he said, "Isn't what I said right?"

β€œγ€‚γ€‚γ€‚ ”

In the face of Zhang Youmin's blatant provocation, although the Bai family and the others were already clenched their fists and filled with righteous indignation, no one dared to jump out and say a word, and they didn't even dare to make a superfluous voice.

"It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

Zhang Youmin no longer paid attention to everyone, his eyes fell on the crystal coffin again, shook his head, and after sighing with emotion, he said: "Okay, since I have already visited you, the Bai family, there is nothing worth seeing." "The voice was very low, and I don't know if it was for the living or for the dead.

After the words fell, Zhang Youmin turned around, looked at the bright world outside the mourning hall, raised his hand and took out the sunglasses he had just taken off when he entered the door from the breast pocket of his suit, lowered his head and carefully wiped them with the glasses cloth in his pocket, slowly put them on, did not look back, and then said loudly: "The law of the jungle is the rule of this world, let alone the most competitive realm like the imperial capital?" Brother Zhenyue, I think, you don't want the Bai family to be destroyed in your hands in the end, and you will be infamous for thousands of years, hahaha... ”

After Zhang Youmin finished speaking, he laughed a few times, and in the eyes of everyone, he walked out of Bai Zhenting's mourning hall quickly.

Looking at Zhang Youmin's back that was getting farther and farther away, everyone in the Bai family in the mourning hall was puzzled, and gathered around Bai Zhenyue, a middle-aged man turned his head to look at Bai Zhenyue, and asked, "Second brother, what does he mean by this?"

"Hmph. ”

A pair of eyes staring at the front, Bai Zhenyue snorted coldly, and couldn't help but scold in his heart This group of old foxes is really here to pretend to be confused.

However, although he was not angry in his heart, Bai Zhenyue had no choice at this time, he finally understood what Bai Zhenting had said to him a long time ago, if the strength and position do not match, then the high position is the grave, and now, for Bai Zhenyue, the position of the head of the family is his grave, because what he will face next is the offensive of the rest of the family like a mad dog, among them, there will definitely be the Zhang family, and Zhang Youmin's words just now are obviously telling him that now, there is only one way to save the Bai family that is like a plate of scattered sand because of Bai Zhenting's death。

"Whew... ”

With a long sigh of relief, Bai Zhenyue also made up his mind, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at the manor outside the mourning hall, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, let's go see Ruxue... ”
