I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family

Chapter 797: Chapter 727 Are You Trying to Please Me?

“I’m done watching; let’s go back and see if we can find some early leads. Just take good care of them,” Bai Zhi said dismissively, and the two figures vanished into the night.

What a fine day it was. Bai Zhi gazed at the fireworks bursting in the sky.

She figured with the news of everyone coming out to set off fireworks, many must be aware of it.

When they left, Bai Fei had told anyone who asked.

In the past, it was a matter of adults watching over children. But now, whether it was concern or something else, who knew? Especially since that person was not originally from the Bai Family, having moved in only in the last few years.

Due to the merging of villages, the neighboring one had also become part of Bai Family Village.

They just didn’t live there. But with the increase in tourists, they would come to set up stalls.

At first, Bai Zhi and Moh Li hadn’t noticed anything amiss until those two girls mentioned they had encountered the same old man selling malt sugar on several visits.

Then, guided by him, they had found their way and met a person distributing flyers.

So today, Bai Zhi had Bai Fei take out all the fireworks, a box for each of them.

That would take hours to set off, no matter what.

“They’re not looking anymore; we’ll watch for ourselves. Continue setting them off, cousin.”

The fireworks were a signal after all,

Children love fireworks; that’s what many people believe, so as long as they continued, surely no one would suspect anything, right?

As for whether they could catch any fish, that remained to be seen.

Even if they couldn’t catch the biggest one, scooping up the small fish and shrimps around it wasn’t bad at all.

They were pests that needed to be caught.

Bai Zhi and the others continued to enjoy the fireworks while Moh Li and Xu Yan caught a bunch of little fish and even a big one at the end—an acquaintance, Ouyang.

After the last incident, Ouyang had vanished, and Moh Li hadn’t planned on searching for him. He had lost everything, but Moh Li hadn’t expected to catch him here of all places.

When they found him, he had already located Bai Zhi’s room and discovered the hidden chamber. If they had been any later, he might have found out even more.

When Bai Zhi returned and saw Ouyang, he looked at her in shock, seemingly in disbelief.

“How can you possibly still be alive?”

It was this sentence that confirmed it for Bai Zhi—ah, another rebirth.

Then, he must know a lot.

“Hey, cousin, let’s take him somewhere. You guys stay here and inform grandpa.”

“Alright, I know.”

Bai Xiang didn’t ask why and just acknowledged it, ensuring someone kept watch over the area.

The closer it got to time, the more people would become interested in this place.

“Ouyang, what are you looking for? A thatched cottage? Or is it Nan Xi?”

On hearing Bai Zhi’s words, Ouyang felt only one thing—a sense of inevitability. Whether in his past life or this one, Bai Zhi was the same, addicted to him.

He didn’t have to do anything; Bai Zhi would give up everything for him.

Ouyang had been inexplicably captured, eventually brought to a thatched cottage, and told that Nan Xi had ruined something important. They were arrested. The memories from then were particularly terrifying for both of them.

Even now, he didn’t want to recall it.

He had been the wealthiest man, possessing everything, a king in the business world.

But somehow, in one night, he lost it all and went through the most dreadful experience of his life.

He and Nan Xi had been… eaten.

Thinking about it now still gave him bouts of chills, as if he was immersed in fear. When he next opened his eyes, he saw that familiar face.

In that moment, without thinking, he made a decision—he was willing to be a lapdog, but absolutely unwilling to go through that ordeal ever again.

So, he came here, and the mission he received was to get close to Bai Zhi. If he could find her secrets, that would be great, if not, then he had to capture her.

And he was somewhat familiar with the Bai Family’s yard, because Bai Zhi had once brought him here, to that girl in his memory who was both ugly and dark.

Now she had transformed into someone else, someone he dared not even recognize, which is why he blurted out without thinking.

Unexpectedly, when Bai Zhi saw him, she acted as if she hadn’t heard a thing and was even willing to take him directly to find the secrets.

So, women.

They’re just useless.

Of course, it was also fortunate that his charm was so great, although he also happened to see Moh Li.

Moh Li, the one who had betrayed him. “Moh Li, how come you’re here?”

Even in his last life, when it all came down to it, he hadn’t killed Moh Li. And now, Moh Li turned up here.

“If I’m not here, where should I be?”

Moh Li gave a cold laugh, and he was utterly certain of one thing: the person before him was not the Ouyang he knew.

Everything felt different.

“Hurry up and go, didn’t you come here to look for secrets? If you’re not quick about it, I might not lead you there.”

Moh Li and Xu Yan had examined him for a long time before they followed Bai Zhi with him.

“Bai Zhi, I know you’re good to me. As long as you can help me find the secret, rest assured, I will never let you down in the future.”

The current Bai Zhi was quite beautiful. It wouldn’t be a loss to spend two days with her.

Listening to him made Bai Zhi feel disgusted, and before she could act, Moh Li and Xu Yan had already kicked him to the ground, one each.

Moh Li immediately leaned forward, mouth full of dust.

“What are you doing?” Ouyang got up and glared at them fiercely, only to wimp out the next second.

Moh Li and Xu Yan each had a stick from nowhere; he had no chance of winning against them.

“I—I’m not going to hold this against you.”

Ouyang had no choice but to turn around and quickly follow Bai Zhi, hastening to catch up. He had to; these two were playing dirty.

“Bai Zhi, you have to protect me, they’re bullying me.”

The corner of Bai Zhi’s mouth twitched, so nauseating.

“Alright already, let’s go.”

By the time they got to the thatched hut, it was already midnight, and the moonlight spread through the forest, with strands of silver.

Ouyang’s eyes widened, and his jaw dropped. He never expected that coming out from the study would lead to such a place, a thatched hut in the midst of the forest.

The lamp lit was a kerosene one.

What era was this, anyway?

Bai Zhi lit all the lamps, and Xu Yan brought Ouyang straight into the study and even poured him a glass of water.

Ouyang, feeling repulsed, really didn’t want to drink it. “How old is this water?”

“From yesterday,” Bai Zhi replied directly.

Only then did Ouyang reluctantly drink it, noticing it was slightly sweet. “Why is it sweet?” Surely, Bai Zhi was doing this to please him, he understood.

“Because I’ve poisoned it.”

Bai Zhi sat down across from him and successfully watched Moh Li’s face turn pale, his lips tremble, from disbelief to reaching out his hand, trying to induce vomiting by sticking his fingers down his throat.

But it was useless.

Completely useless.

Because nothing came out.

“What have you done to me?”

At this moment, he felt that something was wrong with him everywhere, he felt uncomfortable all over.
