Chapter 682 - Justice and Equity (2/2)

Xiao Luo swept his hand viciously through the air. Unleashing his inner power, a wave of his hand turned into an invisible slap right across Bai Xuenan’s face. The stinging slap was audible, and it sent Bai Xuenan spinning on the spot before she fell to the floor with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Striking someone with no visible contact made?

Xiao Luo’s actions shocked Bai Yuquan, Bai Ying, and Yu Yasi and left them with their eyes were wide open. They couldn’t believe that such an incredible technique existed in this world.

Xiao Luo turned his head and looked down at Bai Xuenan casually. “Rose, right? If I remember correctly, that is your code name in NSA. I spared your life the last time we met. But if you’re tired of living, I can give you a free ride.”

Bai Xuenan only felt a stinging pain on her face and the taste of blood in her mouth. She only glared at Xiao Luo but did not dare to make another sound.

“You mean Xiao Bei is your daughter?” Bai Guoxiong ignored Bai Xuenan and spoke directly to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo nodded and replied, “She calls me daddy. Of course, she’s my daughter!”

Bai Guoxiong suddenly laughed and said, “Young man, if that is the case, then we are not necessarily mortal enemies.”

Bai Ying was puzzled and did not know why his father would say this.

However, Bai Yuquan understood the logic behind it. Su Xiaobei was undoubtedly his daughter, but she addressed Xiao Luo as her father in the same way that she addressed Su Li as her mother. It showed that they had a close relationship, and besides, Xiao Luo seemed to dote on Xiaobei a lot. So it would seem that Xiao Bei was the foundation of the friendship between the Bai family and Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo laughed and said, “If it weren’t for Xiaobei, I wouldn’t have come here empty-handed, for I know very well that you guys sent secret instructions to the Libyan rebel fighters to kill me.”

Xiao Luo had spoken these words casually, yet the members of the Bai family could still sense the hostility beneath his calm exterior. Xiao Luo’s murderous aura left them with no doubt that he had the strength to deal with their Bai family.

“Perhaps fate ordained that you and our Bai family would have such a relationship,” Bai Guoxiong said.

“Don’t even try to get close to me, for we’re on opposing sides. We’ll be hostile in court tomorrow over Xiaobei’s custody. I do not intend to use illegal means to get her back, and I just want the court to issue a verdict with justice and equity,” Xiao Luo said.

If he had used force, he could easily have taken Su Xiaobei back by now. However, given the circumstances, he chose to abide by the law. Even if he didn’t wish to, his loved ones had to abide by it, and Xiao Luo did not want to put them through any unnecessary legal jeopardy. He chose to pursue the case through formal means to achieve his goal where possible.

“Justice and equity?”

Bai Guoxiong said with a smile, “The moment Ms. Su decided to file a lawsuit against the Bai family, we were destined to win. I don’t have to do anything extraordinary, as all the presiding judges in Jingcheng will side with us as long as they see that the case involves our Bai family.”

“If I can enter the Bai family Hall, what’s to stop me from entering the judge’s house as well?” Xiao Luo snorted.

Bai Guoxiong was slightly stunned.

“Tomorrow, I want justice and equity to prevail. These words mean nothing to me, but for my wife, they mean a lot,” Xiao Luo said.

“Sure, I too would like to know if custody of my great-granddaughter will be given to Ms. Su under ‘Justice and Equity’ as you mentioned,” Bai Guoxiong replied and smiled calmly.

Xiao Luo did not continue to linger on this topic. Su Li told him not to bother about this matter and said that she had the confidence to fight for custody of Su Xiaobei.

“I’ve been talking so much nonsense that I almost forgot I’m here to see Xiaobei.”

“Yuquan, bring the young man, Xiao Luo, to see my great-granddaughter.” Bai Guoxiong raised his hand and gestured to Bai Yuquan.

“Yes, Grandfather!”

Bai Yuquan was elated, for his grandfather, Bai Guoxiong, had already agreed with his point of view. He felt he should get closer to Xiao Luo instead of becoming a mortal enemy. Besides, his daughter, Su Xiaobei, would now form the bond between the Bai family and Xiao Luo. As time passed, Xiao Luo would eventually become the most capable supporter of the Bai family.
