Chapter 1081 - 1081: For the Sake of His Final Integrity

Bai Family, in Bai Huanyu's house.

Bai Tieniu, Bai Yongge, and Bai Lisha stand in a row, hardly daring to breathe.

In front of them, Bai Huanyu sits in the armchair, his face solemn as water: "You three better lay low for a while, stop stirring up trouble for no reason, I beg you."

Their hearts simultaneously sink, for their father to use the word "beg," it means things are very serious.

"Dad, I still don't get it, someone's helping us bring Xiao Feng down, why are you rejecting it?" The youngest, Bai Tieniu, couldn't help but ask.

Previously, he had asked the same question.

But Bai Huanyu had explained by saying he didn't want to "get involved with certain scum," which they couldn't fully grasp.

At this moment, Bai Lisha and Bai Yongge also looked intently at Bai Huanyu, evidently wanting to know the reason.

Bai Huanyu's gaze slowly swept across their faces and he sighed, "You all, really never learn from a hundred times saying 'stinky beans' don't stink?

A few months ago, Miao Youmin's downfall, its impact on us, have you all forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Tieniu's face, along with Bai Yongge and Bai Lisha, showed visible changes.

The change was utmost profound in Bai Lisha.

Miao Youmin's last frenzy, not only publicly humiliated the Bai Family but also personally dealt Bai Lisha an unbearable disgrace!

"We must not take any sides lightly, our Bai Family… really can't withstand such turmoil anymore." Bai Huanyu said earnestly: "Just one Miao Youmin was enough to nearly wipe out half of the Bai Family.

If you really hitch yourself to what you perceive as an unreachably high branch, you might feel okay, but has anyone thought about what happens to future generations?"

Bai Tieniu and the other two hung their heads, silent and unable to respond.

Bai Huanyu continued: "My life is as it is, guarding this legacy is already satisfying enough.

If there's truly no way forward, then this bit of family assets will be divided into three, each of you gets a share, and shows your capabilities while hoping you support each other, without scheming against one another."

"Dad, is it really as severe as you say?" Bai Yongge frowned tightly.

Bai Huanyu let out a cold snort: "Do you think He Qizheng has this great appeal easily?

This is an exceedingly unmistakable signal that means the balance Jiangcheng struggled to maintain is about to break.

Between us and Xiao Feng, one must fall, which those operating secretly and juggernaut figures are eager to see."

"Do you think these bigwigs want us to fall, or Xiao Feng?" Bai Yongge asked further.

Bai Huanyu shook his head slowly: "In those people's eyes, who falls makes no difference to them, but someone must fall.

Only then can they easily intervene and recreate Jiangcheng's order."

At this moment, Bai Lisha suddenly spoke: "Is it possible for us to temporarily join forces with Xiao Feng?

At least to break He Qizheng's blockade, it would be a comfort to the businesses supporting us."

"The idea is not bad, but it's overly idealistic." Bai Huanyu said solemnly: "Had it been two months earlier, it might've been feasible, but now...

Are you able to put away all reservations and trust Xiao Feng?"

Bai Tieniu and the other two exchanged glances and immediately shook their heads.

Bai Huanyu sneered slightly: "Exactly, you couldn't even trust Xiao Feng, why would Xiao Feng trust us.

So, even an alliance would just be a formality without substance, almost pointless."

"Then what should we do next?" Bai Tieniu asked worriedly.

Bai Huanyu chuckled, immediately responding: "What needs to be done is simple, since one must fall, our job is to not let it be us who falls.

Also, keep this in mind!

Until one emerges victorious against Xiao Feng, no further mishaps should occur, otherwise..."

The rest remained unsaid by Bai Huanyu, but Bai Tieniu and the others could fill in the blanks.

After a few more directives, Bai Huanyu instructed them to rest, then took out a sealed envelope containing a check from his pocket, staring at it for a long time.

His thought was simple; in his perspective, Xiao Feng isn't much different from himself.

If the Bai Family were without him, relying merely on his three children, they might stir waves relying on the Bai Family but nothing more, ultimately still too fragile.

The same goes for Xiao Feng's side; without Xiao Feng, the room for maneuvering expands significantly.

"Still have to find the right timing." Bai Huanyu muttered softly, placing the sealed envelope back into his pocket, already plotting against Xiao Feng and his supporters in his heart.

...

Outside the walls of the Bai Family's estate, Xiao Feng held a cellphone.

The screen displayed a radar-like image, densely packed with flickering yellow dots, flashing rhythmically like breathing lights.

Xiao Feng counted and couldn't help but gasp: "Two hundred thirty-five surveillance cameras, this is simply insane!"

With a brief consideration, he surmised Bai Huanyu installed so many surveillance cameras likely to guard against him.

However, this situation had been anticipated.

Xiao Feng reached into his pocket, pulled out an item resembling a brooch, pinned it to his left chest, and then tapped the center of the brooch.

"Beep!"

A prompt sounded, and the device on his chest was activated.

This was a signal jammer made by Lu Yao, capable of blocking surveillance devices within a hundred-meter radius.

Moreover, WiFi, phone, and walkie-talkie signals would also be affected to some extent, but primarily targeted at surveillance equipment.

An acquaintance of the Bai Family's layout, Xiao Feng found a secluded spot with few people and stealthily climbed over the wall.

Though equipped with a jammer, the blocking distance was only one hundred meters, risking being captured by a camera.

Since he was here, it was best not to leave any traces.

Turning corners and zigzagging.

Xiao Feng arrived at Bai Huanyu's courtyard, immediately feeling the urge to curse.

Because at a glance, every half meter along the wall was packed with surveillance cameras, and the corners equipped with cameras able to tilt and pan, truly achieving a full coverage without blind spots.

Forget about people, even if a fly flew in, it would be caught clearly.

Inwardly cursing all of Bai Huanyu's ancestors, Xiao Feng lowered his posture, stealthily approaching.

This time he came not for anything else, but for Bai Huanyu's integrity.

Last time Miao Zhihui didn't find the opportunity to drug Bai Huanyu, so this time he had to take matters into his own hands.

Getting close to Bai Huanyu's bed, Xiao Feng inserted a straw into the window crack and blew forcefully!

"Hmm?"

Bai Huanyu, back towards the window, felt a "whirlwind" pass over his nape, wind that felt "partial," with a strong sensation only at the nape.

Perplexed, he turned to look but found nothing, merely catching the scent of a faint fragrance.
