Chapter 46

Back to the Apocalypse CH 46

The good mood lasted until Bai Jing reached near his home. This was also true during his past life.

They found a number of people guarding the main entrance to the gated community where he lived. Although this was a good thing, what Bai Jing hadn’t antic.i.p.ated was how he would be made to lose face after being stopped at the gate and barred from entering the community.

“Halt, let me check your doc.u.ments, no unknown vehicles are allowed to enter this area.” A young man in military uniform spoke as he stepped forward. He seemed inexperienced, along with the fact that the epaulets on his shoulder had only one bar, which meant he was probably a fresh recruit to the army.

Bai Jing frowned. But since he didn’t want to make things difficult, he willingly brought out his house card from inside his pocket – which he had in fact removed from within his dimension.

The young soldier looked at the card contemptuously before saying: “I’ll ask you to leave this place immediately. The third house on Block B has been requisitioned by the military after an investigation found that the house was unoccupied…”

“What did you say?” Bai Jing’s face darkened as he listened to these words. He slammed the car door open before stepping out and rus.h.i.+ng towards his house. The young soldier tried to stop him, but Bai Jing quickly kicked him aside. At that moment, all that Bai Jing could think about was the overflowing rage in his heart: “Who dares to take my personal property”

Bai Jing’s kick was so fierce that the young soldier was thrown hard onto the ground. Upon seeing this, his fellow soldiers rushed to his aid, some lifting him and holding him up by his arms, while others quickly spoke into walkie-talkies: “There’s someone making trouble at the entrance to Block B, we need back-up.”

Bai Jing’s facial expression was quite unsightly and he felt like he was being choked but the raging fire in his chest. If he had been alone, all this fuss would not have been a big deal, and at worst he would have held them accountable and made them pay after the event.  However, currently he was with Xiao Sa and his subordinates, so this whole situation left him feeling very embarra.s.sed. He quickly reached the front door to his house and was surprised to find that there was a group of soldiers standing guard at the entrance.

“What’s going on?” soon after, a solemn voice was heard right before the back-up arrived, among them was a security guard for the gated community. When the guard saw Bai Jing he immediately smiled stiffly at him. Seeing that the captain of the troops stationed here wasn’t speaking, the security guard hurriedly greeted Bai Jing, his smiling face far uglier than that of someone crying: “Jing…young master Jing….”

Bai Jing’s face remained wooden. His cold eyes flashed with a fierce glint as he gazed at the group of people before him, then without saying a word, he went back into the car and ordered: “Open the gate!”

“Oh, yes–” seeing that the captain still intended on questioning Bai Jing, the security guard only shook his head as he quickly rushed to the security room from there he opened the gate. He heaved a sigh of relief as he watched several cars pa.s.s through, before hurriedly telling the captain: “Hurry to up and inform the Secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Party Committee that its young master Jing who has returned and not some good for nothing sc.u.m.”

“Who is this young master Jing?” Although the captain still had his doubts, he dared not ignore the manner in which the security guard was behaving. After all, he

was well aware that the people living in this gated community were all of a high social status, otherwise, why would the military send a bunch of troops to come and safeguard this place. Just thinking about the family that had just caused this disturbance left him with an inexplicably ominous feeling in his heart.

Even before he had arrived at the door to his home, Bai Jing heard the sound of a fierce argument coming from inside the house. Among the voices he heard, the loudest was that of an old woman. He also found that the group of soldiers had not left but were still standing guard outside his door.

“Hurry up and leave this place immediately! There is a house in the west of the city that has been specifically a.s.signed for you all. If you don’t leave I will beat you.”

“Oh? You’ll hit me? Will it be one on one or will you all attack at once as a group?”

“You wouldn’t dare! My son is the Head of the munic.i.p.al party committee.”

“My grandfather is a member of the State Council.”

“You…”

“Sir, please cooperate. When the military investigated, it found that this house was temporarily uninhabited. These are drastic times, so it wasn’t only yours, but other houses have also been requisitioned by the army…”

“My young master will return to his home very soon, so get lost! You have illegally intruded into this house. Since when has the army started to trespa.s.s on people’s homes?” Cao Lei spoke fiercely as he refused to give into to their demands by even an inch.

After hearing this, Bai Jing was finally satisfied. His bodyguard was finally working hard for his benefit. A cold voice was suddenly heard coming from the entrance as he entered the house: “Who dares to take my property.”

“Young Master.” w.a.n.g Xuebing’s face flashed with joy. There was such a great commotion last night that he was still extremely worried that the young master might have gotten into an accident.

“Young Master.” Qin Yi nodded his head as his face relaxed with relief. Since the outbreak of the virus, there have people constantly coming to the house to hara.s.s them. Finally this morning they decided that they would take advantage and commandeer the house. But when all is said and done, they could do nothing since they weren’t the masters of this house. So the return of the young master was a very good thing.

The man in front was stunned for a moment before feeling embarra.s.sed. He didn’t think that the rightful owner of the house would return. Even before he could figure out how to solve this conundrum, the old woman immediately started quarreling. Right from the start, she hadn’t taken Bai Jing seriously, instead, she was extremely bold, thinking that now that the rightful owner was back, they could easily solve this dispute. So she dismissively said: “You must be Bai Jingcheng’s son right? I am a very close acquaintance of the Zhou family. This house had been given out by the government and it is now in my possession. Take your people to the house in the west of the city; I won’t waste my time bickering with you. One day when I see Mrs.Bai, I might help you by saying a few good words on your behalf.”

Bai Jing’s face turned shades of blue and green as his heart filled with hatred anew. The people in this room might not recognize him, but he remembered them all clearly. In his the last life, immediately after he had left with the army escort. Yan Gang – who was the man who had been standing at the forefront- together with this old woman, were the main culprits who caused w.a.n.g Xuebing’s tragic death.

“Bang!” a

a gunshot sounded.

“You…” The woman’s eyes widened as she looked at the blood that was pouring out from her chest, and then she looked at Bai Jing who was holding a gun before collapsing onto the ground and dying. Everyone in the room was flabbergasted.

“Ah! You killed her!” The woman’s family shrieked, as a child in the room burst into tears.

Armed soldiers rushed in and surrounded Bai Jing. No one had antic.i.p.ated that Bai Jing would suddenly open fire, even still, that he completely had no qualms doing so in front of so many witnesses. Furthermore, he did so while fully aware of the woman’s ident.i.ty, and in front of military men.

Cao Lei’s facial expression changed as he realized that the situation had suddenly become troublesome. If this had been an ordinary civilian, then there wouldn’t be a problem. However, she was the mother to the Secretary of the Munic.i.p.al Party Committee. He could easily dispatch the army to come here and investigate the matter. Worse still, this old woman also had ties to the Zhou family.

Xiao Sa’s face sank, he hadn’t expected that things would turn out like this. With a wave of his hands, all of his subordinates also pulled out their guns, waiting to make their move at the drop of a hat.
