Bai Ying arrived in the living room and saw the few elderly guests were her father’s subordinates, also in charge of the base.

Bai Ying sat at the main seat, expression impa.s.sive. “Dear elders, what brings you here today?”

The six elders were in their golden years; the leader of the group had salt and pepper hair and a wrinkled face worn by time.

“Niece, it will be Boss Bai’s death anniversary in a few days. He has been gone for over 20 years,” one said slowly.

Bai Ying stroked the cat in her arms and avoiding the gaze of the elders, answered, “So?”

“Cheng Jie has proven himself all these years. Even if he did fail once 11 years ago, he has taken down Gu Juexi and opened the door to limitless possibilities. I believe Boss Bai’s will would have stated to let Cheng Jie inherit his empire. You have kept it hidden for so many years. It’s time to announce the content of the will.”

“Cheng Jie?” Bai Ying sneered. She leaned back against the chair and looked at the few respected elders. “Just because he took down Gu Juexi, the elders couldn’t wait to back him up?”

“Niece, you can’t put it that way,” another elder chimed in. “Years ago when your daughter was taken away from you, Cheng Jie helped find her. Later on when Ye Shu betrayed you, Cheng Jie supported you and claimed you were innocent. Although Cheng Jie is Boss Bai’s foster son, he has given it his all. We know that this empire was single-handedly built by Boss Bai. Even if Cheng Jie takes over, we are still loyal to Boss Bai and the Bai family. It has been so many years, isn’t it time to give Cheng Jie a status?”

Bai Ying remained indifferent and waited for the man to finish his sentence. “Uncle Tom, you’ve also watched me all these years. Have I not given Cheng Jie the power?”
