Chapter 426 - The Teachings of Mr. Bai (1/2)

People didn’t expect to see the constantly released news when the Chinese New Year was coming. First, the God of War was suspended from his duties. Then, his subordinate was arrested on suspicion of murder. Now there was also a corruption scandal.

It was widely spread throughout the circle that the Jiang family might be going to collapse.

“I know what you want to say.” Mr. Bai stood in the yard and made a posture of Yin and Yang fish form. “Whether it is true or not, it has nothing to do with the Bai family.”

“What about the Lu family?” Bai Ziqi said with some dissatisfaction. He really didn’t know why Grandpa and Dad thought highly of Lu Tao, who was a hypocrite.

Mr. Bai continued to exercise, saying lightly, “The Lu family is just the Lu family. What Lu Tao does is his own business. He cannot represent the Bai family.” Seeing that Bai Ziqi was still struggling with the question, the old man slowly finished his exercise and patted him on the shoulder.

“Ziqi, I’m glad that you come to ask me about those things today. I used to think that I couldn’t get you on the right way, but I didn’t expect such a prodigal as you to correct yourself.” The old man picked up his dark-red enameled pottery and took a sip. “I have spent half my lifetime defending my country. I’m old enough now, and what I still worry about is the Bai family.”

Bai Ziqi smiled. “Grandpa, I won’t let you down. I’ll be here with the Bai family forever.”

“Yeah!” Mr. Bai gave him a glance. “You are here.”

The old man suddenly changed his expressions, exuding an air of determination and aggressiveness. “Ziqi, there are two reasons why we fight with the Jiang family. First, I was not ready to accept the fact, that I have fought with Jiang Min all my life and he actually has such a grandson as Jiang Rui but I didn’t. But now, the Bai family has you.”

“Second, if the Bai family is always in a position of disadvantage, we will be elbowed out of the circle when your kids grow up. Currently, I don’t have to worry about the two challenges. Because you are here.” Mr. Bai paused and continued.

“But facing these two challenges is premised on national stability. We must not let the common people suffer because of our private ends.” The old man looked at Bai Ziqi sharply. “Ziqi, we are soldiers. Protecting our country is our mission. Our weapons are pointed at the enemy forever!”

It was the first time for Bai Ziqi to see his grandfather like now. For a while, he was a little bit shocked, and murmured, “Grandpa… Grandpa…”

“Now, do you have any questions?” Mr. Bai smiled. “If not, just go ahead. The Bai family will only be your backing, and it will never hinder you.”

These days, watching Jiang Rui be constantly in trouble, Bai Ziqi knew that it definitely had something with the Lu family. But he didn’t know if the Bai family was also involved in that. He was afraid that he would find it had something to do with his father and grandpa if he went on with the investigation.

Now after listening to Mr. Bai’s words, he felt both shocked and ashamed. He actually had misunderstood Grandpa who was far from what he knew. He was an old general who had gone through the war years. He was a battle-hardened soldier of iron will, forever admirable and respectable.

At that moment, Bai Ziqi finally felt that others from the Bai family were his blood relatives. He clenched his fist. “Grandpa, I get it!”

“All right.” Mr. Bai nodded. “But this time, stay out of the affairs.”

“Grandpa?” Bai Ziqi didn’t understand.

Mr. Bai sighed. “Young son, do you see that the Jiang family takes action?”

Bai Ziqi was stunned.

“If Jiang Rui could be framed so easily, he wouldn’t be called the God of War.” Mr. Bai said with obvious envy. Bai Ziqi said with a bitter smile, “Grandpa…”

“Anyway, just leave it alone.” Mr. Bai waved his hand. “As for the Lu family, let them know how powerful their enemy is, for fear that they are so greedy and lose all.”

After Xiao Si was locked up for three days, the situation suddenly reversed. There were only a few boxes of shoddy military supplies found in the warehouse. Scar especially gave a report that those supplies were left over before. They were about to be destroyed, but actually led to a misunderstanding.

No one believed this statement, but when Bai Ziqi led some people to check all the supplies, they just found that there were really only the ones they had originally found and sealed up. As the report letter stated, half of the supplies in the warehouse were shoddy goods. But actually, the remaining supplies were all in line with the standards.

“Why are you looking at us like that?” Scar leaned against the door of the warehouse. “You sealed up the boxes. Besides, you sent them on guard. Do you think that we changed military supplies? Unless we have an ability to move the supplies by underhand means?”

Bai Ziqi smiled. “I didn’t mean that. In that case, I’ll go back to report that it is a misunderstanding.”

“Bye!” Scar waved at him.

When walking by Scar, Bai Ziqi whispered, “Do you come up with a solution to deal with the suddenly additional half a million yuan in Xiao Si’s bank account?” Seeing Scar stare at himself with a strange expression, Bai Ziqi wore a bigger smile. “I just remind you!”

Scar saw him off and shivered. Why did he think this guy had become so friendly now…?

When knowing that Xiao Si was released, Lu Tao was driving, and he almost hit an electricity pole on the side of the road.

“Damn it! What’s wrong?” He pounded on the steering wheel fiercely. “Does Jiang Rui take action?” After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to call Bai Ziqi.

Bai Ziqi was not surprised when he received the call. The Lu family was certainly involved in the matter.

“Because there is no physical evidence.” He told Lu Tao that the supplies in the warehouse were all quality military supplies.

On hearing his words, Lu Tao instinctively shouted out. “Impossible! I obviously…”

“Obviously what?” Bai Ziqi asked with a smile, “Why are you so agitated?”
