Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye both found it quite magical that Zhao Dawei not only became more attractive, but he had also grown a bit taller. They wondered what kind of incredible thing he had gotten his hands on.
Bai Ye was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said to Fang Yuxin, "Didn’t we suspect that he had acquired future technology before? At that time, it was just a guess but now it seems to be almost certain. He must have used some special agent to change his appearance , right?"
Fang Yuxin nodded, she thought the same. Their initial suspicions about Zhao Qiankun were all conjecture, but now, after discovering his identity and the huge changes in him, those speculations became certain. Zhao Qiankun must have gotten some opportunity to come into contact with some future technologies. It was just uncertain how many things he had on hand.
Just then, Bai Ye’s Communicator rang again. As soon as he saw it was Bai Zhengli, he abruptly remembered that Bai Zhengli had urged him to go back earlier and quickly said goodbye to Fang Yuxin. But before leaving, he didn’t forget to instruct Fang Yuxin, "Xinxin, this Zhao Qiankun definitely has ill intentions... if he looks for you again, remember to tell me!"
Fang Yuxin knew he was worried about Zhao Qiankun pestering her and didn’t feel angry, but instead, she smiled and nodded at him, signaling her understanding.
On the other side, Zhao Qiankun, looking at the message from his subordinate about Bai Ye coming out of the Fang Family’s house, had his expression instantly contort with rage. He waved his hand and swept everything off the table onto the floor, and at the same time cursed, "Bai Ye! You dare to meddle with my woman!"
After ranting in fury, he grabbed the Communicator tossed aside and dialed a number. The person on the other end quickly chose to answer, and Zhao Qiankun, with a cold face watching the person in the video, sinisterly asked, "When are you planning to take action?"
The person on the other end was Bai Zhengyi. He was genuinely a bit surprised; hadn’t they just agreed in the morning? Why was Zhao Qiankun so anxious? Though Bai Family had some dirt that Zhao Qiankun was holding over them, and he also wished to get rid of Bai Ye, he said, "I have promised you, and I won’t go back on my word. You don’t need to be so anxious."
Zhao Qiankun let out a cold laugh. Not anxious? He was nearly dying of impatience! Bai Ye had to die! He had harbored a secret crush on Fang Yuxin for so many years, and now that he had the ability, and fate had enabled their meeting once again, it was destiny that he will never let go of! Bai Ye daring to compete with him was simply courting death!
He impatiently declared, "I don’t care what method you use, but you must make him accept that mission! Otherwise, get ready for those things to be exposed." After speaking, he watched as Bai Zhengyi’s face suddenly darkened, let out a cold laugh, and abruptly hung up the call.
Bai Zhengyi, staring at the darkened screen, gradually regained his composure from his unsightly expression, then his lips curled into a scornful, mocking smile. He didn’t know why Zhao Qiankun harbored such hatred towards Bai Ye, even to the point of wanting to get rid of him sooner rather than later, but he did see that Zhao Qiankun, despite his strength, was too impulsive and impatient, not at all like someone capable of great achievements!
He had once been quite wary of Zhao Qiankun, but now it seemed he was nothing to fret over! Zhao Qiankun’s weaknesses were too obvious; such a man at best could be a hegemon like Xiang Yu, but could never become a ruler like Liu Bang! Bai Ye was indeed good, but unfortunately... not only could he not be convinced to join him, he was also rebellious and had to be removed!
Bai Zhengyi reminisced about the conversation with Zhao Qiankun that morning, smiling rather smugly. He had initially thought that Zhao Qiankun would leverage that evidence to heavily extort the Bai Family, yet unexpectedly, Zhao Qiankun’s demand turned out to be the elimination of Bai Ye! This was just... as if the heavens were helping him! He had also wanted to get rid of Bai Ye, only he hadn’t figured out how to minimize the loss and avoid scrutiny.
Who would have thought, at this critical juncture, Zhao Qiankun would offer to help, akin to someone bringing a pillow to him when he was dozing off!
Bai Zhengyi thought for a moment, then summoned Bai Yi and asked him, "How are the preparations going?"
Bai Yi smirked triumphantly, "Dad, rest assured, as long as Bai Ye accepts that mission, his death is certain this time!"
Bai Zhengyi nodded slightly and spoke in a hushed tone, "Instruct them to be cautious, and in critical moments, don’t just charge forward. It’s best to give the opportunity to Zhao Qiankun’s men, let them make the move!"
After a moment’s thought, Bai Yi grasped the essence of it and asked, "Dad, are you worried that Zhao Qiankun might use this incident against us later?"
