Your surname is Bai?
This surname is rare.
Are there any families with the surname Bai in Wushui?
Gu Xinglan slowly raised her eyes and looked at the people in the distance.
The person who came was wearing a light-colored coat, with very short hair, and the hair color, eyebrows color, and eyelash color were all very light. Even his pupils were grayish-purple, as blurry as those of someone with presbyopia.
Leukemia patient?
The thought flashed through her mind, but Gu Xinglan quickly dismissed it.
Because this person was not haggard or weak; upon closer inspection, one could even see a slight flush on his face.
Especially the overcoat she was wearing, which not only didn't make her look frail, but actually enhanced her presence.
Gu Xinglan quietly withdrew her observational gaze and softly greeted the person not far away, "Hello, Mr. Bai."
"well."
The other person bowed slightly, put their hands together in a gesture of respect.
"Please come with me, both of you. Fine tea and snacks are ready." With that, Bai Kairui twirled the beads in his hand and gestured with his other free hand.
Deep inside the passage, there was another elevator.
The further you go in, the more extravagant and luxurious the surroundings become.
Every few meters, there is an elegant ink painting, and in front of the ink painting is a juniper bonsai. The bonsai are all different in shape, all growing upwards, and require careful maintenance.
A faint scent of sandalwood lingers in the air.
We arrived at the elevator.
The person leading the way stopped, turned his leather shoes around, softened his gaze, and said to them, "Shall we offer some incense first?"
Offering incense?
Before they could react, Bai Kairui magically produced a bamboo stick incense stick from behind his back.
It's contradictory, so contradictory.
His first thought was those two words.
Next to the elevator is a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha's face is round and peaceful, with eyebrows like crescent moons and eyes slightly lowered. His expression is compassionate and lifelike.
The height is about half a person's length. Sitting on the lotus platform, which is right next to the floor, it's more like sitting on the ground.
Although monks practice sitting in the lotus position.
But after all, it is a Buddha statue. If you have something to ask of the Buddha, placing it in a high place is a sign of respect.
But this person actually treated the Buddha statue as a door god.
Gu Xinglan felt a sense of awe for the ancients who had once lived, and took a few steps back.
As a result, the man took out incense, pulled out two sticks from his hand, and handed them to Li Taihe.
……
"Buddha, have mercy and grant me peace."
The person surnamed Bai was the last to offer incense.
He kept muttering something, his slender eyes were tightly closed, and his right hand was clasped together with prayer beads, looking extremely devout.
I racked my brains but couldn't recall whether Li Hetai had any connection with the surname Bai in my past life.
After Gu Xinglan finished inserting the incense sticks into the incense burner, she hid behind someone and secretly watched the people offering incense and worshipping the gods.
The whispers in my ear gradually subsided.
The man surnamed Bai withdrew his hand, his face turning slightly redder, and his voice rose as he said:
"Brother Taiga, come down with me."
The lower the elevator went, the colder it got.
Her body trembled uncontrollably. Gu Xinglan gripped the sleeves of her black suit with both hands and pressed herself against the human-shaped furnace beside her.
"Cold?"
The man lowered his head, his eyes filled with unspeakable tenderness.
His lips moved as he spoke, his tone deep and enigmatic, capable of drowning a person.
"a little cold."
Gu Xinglan stared at the man's belt, not daring to look up and meet his gaze.
She has a charming and lovely appearance.
There was a "wow" sound.
Li Taihe took off his suit jacket and gently draped it over him. He heard a voice in his ear that seemed to be filled with helpless affection: "If you're tired, lean on it for a while. I'll give you a surprise tonight."
"You guys have such a good relationship."
The person standing against the wall has their hands clasped together, and their eyes are curved in a smile.
"If such a beauty is bullied, I will help her get justice. Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side in this matter."
"Thank you," Li Taihe said with a slight raise of his eyebrows and a smile.
Until the elevator doors opened.
It was another long corridor, with a soft, thick, dark red carpet on the ground, stretching deeper and deeper.
It leads straight to the lobby.
Several attractive maids were already waiting there.
With blonde hair and blue eyes, she greeted everyone with a charming and coquettish manner.
"Please invite Mr. Meng up here."
The maids nodded in unison, then disappeared like a gust of wind.
“These are several beautiful women who are specially responsible for taking care of me. They are not only fluent in three languages, but also do an excellent job. Brother Taihe, do you have any favorites?” Bai Kairui sat down across the long table and teased slightly.
This time, Li Taihe shook his head: "I already have someone I love, thank you for your kind offer, Brother Bai..."
The polite words hadn't even been finished.
A furious shout, filled with immense anger, came from inside the passage, drawing the attention of all three people.
"Li Taihe!"
"You son of a bitch, how dare you show your face in front of me!"
Immediately afterwards, I heard a "click" sound.
The sound of a gun being chambered immediately came to mind.
Gu Xinglan, who was already concentrating intently, froze on the spot.
It was as if the next second after the gun was loaded was the sound of the trigger being pulled.
His limbs suddenly became unresponsive, and his mind was in a precarious state as he frantically searched for the source of the sound.
A black gun barrel flashed through the darkness.
"Meng Chang!"
Bai Kairui slammed the Buddhist prayer beads heavily onto the wooden table.
Soon, a shrill scream came from inside the passage.
The sound almost echoed outwards...
Quiet.
The hall returned to silence, tinged with an eeriness.
"...Look, Brother Taihe, I'm actually in a difficult position too."
Bai Kairui lowered his eyelashes, poured tea into the cup opposite him, and said slowly:
"After all, you killed his brother."
“The eldest brother is like a father to Meng Chang, and Meng Chang is a father-killer to him. According to the rules, this matter is difficult to handle.” Bai Kairui shook his head, then changed the subject: “But I’m on Taihe’s side. However, I’m doing business with everyone, so I can’t completely favor you, can I?”
"I am willing to go to great lengths for you, but I cannot cut off my own arm. You know this better than I do, Brother Taihe, don't you agree?"
They were just saying they were on someone's side, but now they've changed their minds. What a face-changing act!
What does it mean to have to bow your head when you're under someone's roof?
It is now.
Even if Li Taihe is a local tyrant in Wushui, so what? Erlang Shen, who is of noble status, has high combat power, and obeys orders but not summons in the Heavenly Court, still has to call Sun Wukong "Great Sage" when he arrives at Huaguo Mountain.
It's not just Li Taihe who's shrouded in darkness here; beneath the darkness lies even more darkness, an endless expanse with no end in sight.
but……
Those few words didn't seem to reveal anything about him; he still appeared completely at ease.
This person's strength did not come out of thin air.
The man sat on a mahogany chair, his black suit showing no signs of fatigue under the dim light.
His two sword-like eyebrows were relaxed, and his expression was one of composure.
“Brother Bai, I only did what a husband should do.”
“My wife has suffered such a great humiliation for no reason. If I could still endure it, what kind of man would I be? Don’t you agree?” Li Taihe retorted.
"I've heard a little about this matter. If it's truly out of concern for his wife, I can understand..."
Bai Kairui swallowed a sip of tea and made a hand gesture.
The people inside the passage were brought up.
The man was badly injured, but upon seeing Li Taihe seated on the seat, he instantly sprang to his feet, his face flushed red, his forehead smeared with blood, covering his right eye, and roared, "Who the hell doesn't know you're impotent? You've been married for two years and have a three-year-old son, and your wife ran off to find a surrogate to have your Li family's child, leaving you to live a life of widowhood. What kind of man are you...?"
"..."
"A mere emcee who gets a thousand or ten thousand people riding on his back thinks he's all that..."
Unstoppable stream of foul language.
A loud "bang" was heard.
The crisp sound instantly chilled the atmosphere in the hall.
The person kneeling on the ground was slapped hard, and his right cheek swelled up instantly.
The beautiful woman, who was originally sitting on the wooden chair, unknowingly found herself near the passageway.
His body swayed, his shoulders trembled, his palms were red, his chest heaved, and his eyes were red with anger.
Tears streamed down my face like a broken string.
