rebirth against the times

Although the few black vests only did a symbolic inspection, Bai Shuo was holding back his anger. Originally, he wanted to test the other person's attitude, but in the end, he took advantage of the other person's power first.

Yuan Xiaowen seemed to be aware of Bai Shuo's displeasure, and smiled and said softly to Bai Shuo: "Maybe what happened just now is also a kind of test for us."

Bai Shuo was slightly startled: "Oh? What are you testing for?"

"Let's see what our attitude is. If we don't take them seriously, will we appear condescending?"

Bai Shuo smiled contemptuously and said: "Okay, it seems that this game has already started. I just don't know if they can catch it when we make our move."

At this time, there were many more people in the town than usual. When passing by an open space near Xue Yanming's house, they found that there were several people stationed here with clear meridians, and it looked like a large area of ​​darkness. When Bai Shuo and others passed by

, everyone looked here, even Cao An felt a little scared.

Bai Shuo glanced around casually, and was surprised to find that Fan Ren (Deputy Director of the Muguang City Public Security Bureau) was wearing plain clothes and standing with a few people at the foot of a wall, smoking leisurely. When he saw Bai Shuo's eyes, Fan Ren

He smiled naturally and did not respond further.

"Why did Fan Ren get in here? It seems like there's really a mixture of dragons and snakes here." Cao An muttered.

"This is a good thing. At least we won't be fighting alone for a while." Li Fei said.

"Combat?" Bai Shuo snorted coldly and said, "I don't think they have the guts yet."

As he was talking, he had arrived at the door of Xue Yanming's mansion, and saw Xue Yanming's housekeeper named Ding leading everyone outside to greet him.

"Boss Bai, my two young masters heard that you were coming, Boss Bai, and asked me to come and greet you."

"Two young masters?"

Butler Ding immediately explained: "My second young master Xue Wencheng has rushed back from the British Empire."

Bai Shuo then remembered that besides Xue Wenkai, Xue Manlin also had a second brother named Xue Wencheng, who had been studying in the British Empire, but he had never seen him before.

"So, your young master knows that we are coming."

Butler Ding heard the hidden meaning of Bai Shuo's words, and was clearly dissatisfied with Xue Wenkai's failure to come out to greet him. He immediately replied: "Of course I know. The two young masters are waiting at the mourning hall. Please come with me, Boss Bai."

Bai Shuo didn't say much and followed Butler Ding into the inner house. He saw that the huge village was crowded with people, including Xue Yanming's direct descendants and leaders of the villagers association.

Some familiar people saw Bai Shuo coming and said hello slightly, but when they saw Butler Ding standing by, they did not exchange too many greetings.

Bai Shuo remained silent, but saw all this. As soon as he arrived in front of the mourning hall, Xue Wenkai came forward surrounded by people wearing sackcloth and mourning.

The climate in Muguang City was already relatively hot at this time. When Bai Shuo saw Xue Wenkai's body was in such a mess, after a long time, he was afraid that he would have to cover himself with prickly heat.

"Boss Bai, I owe you a lot of filial piety. Please forgive me for not being able to welcome you from afar." Xue Wenkai said.

Bai Shuo held Xue Wenkai's hand with concern and said, "What are you talking about? Your father and I are sworn friends and have experienced the test of life and death together. There is no need to pay attention to these polite things."

At this time, a young man next to Xue Wenkai, who was also wearing sackcloth and mourning, walked up to Bai Shuo and said, "Hello, Boss Bai."

"This is my second brother, Xue Wencheng." Xue Wenkai introduced.

Bai Shuo shook hands with Xue Wencheng and looked them over carefully. This Xue Wencheng wore glasses and had a relatively delicate appearance. He looked very gentle and steady. He was not at all like Xue Yanming or Xue Wenkai, but he was somewhat similar to Xue Manlin.

During the brief exchange of greetings, Xue Wencheng exuded a strong scholarly atmosphere, quite similar to the gentlemanly demeanor of the British Empire.

Following the two brothers Xue Wenkai into the mourning hall, Anna Bai, Li Fei and others stood in two rows and bowed for Xue Yanming in accordance with local customs, and offered incense. The two brothers Xue Wenkai also knelt in front of the funeral and kowtowed to the guests in return.

After all the etiquette was over, when everyone was about to leave the mourning hall, Bai Shuo stood motionless and said in pain to Xue Yanming's portrait: "Brother Xue, why did you leave so suddenly? I thought I had

Because of my acquaintance with Miss Manlin, I came to Nanshui Town. After many twists and turns, I met Brother Xue in Shifa Mountain..."

When he heard Bai Shuo calling Xue Yanming brother and Xue Manlin little sister, Cao An couldn't help laughing and whispered to Li Fei. Anna said: "Brother Shuo's words have messed up the seniority."

Anna bumped Cao An with her elbow and whispered softly before she spoke: "What do you know? Enjoy the show."

Then, Bai Shuo told in detail what happened between himself and Xue Yanming since they met, saying that the two were partners in public, comrades fighting side by side, and confidants and old friends in private. Now Xue Yanming

With Yan Ming's death, he lost a trusted comrade and a confidant. In the meantime, Bai Shuo also praised Xue Yanming's children, saying that under Xue Yanming's guidance, Xue Wenkai became the most successful

With Xue Yanming's talents; Xue Wencheng is knowledgeable, handsome and elegant; Xue Manlin is gentle, sweet, well-behaved and sensible. All three of them will become great talents in the future. I will also regard the three of them as confidants in the future, sharing blessings and hardships.

, please rest assured Xue Yanming.

Bai Shuo's words seemed sincere and moved everyone else. In the middle of the period, he vaguely revealed a lot of information about how he would view the Xue family in the future. Even Cao An couldn't help but whisper: "Brother Shuo and Xue Yanming have such a deep relationship.

Yeah, why don’t you notice it usually?”

Finally, Bai Shuo said with emotion: "Brother Xue, you left so suddenly that you didn't even have time to explain anything to me. Do you have any unfulfilled wishes? How will you take care of your family? What are your unfulfilled wishes?"

How should I arrange my career? What should I do..."

After Bai Shuo had finished saying what he had to say, the two brothers Xue Wenkai walked forward with tears in their eyes and started crying together with Bai Shuo. After a long time, the three of them supported each other and walked out of the mourning hall.

After Bai Shuo greeted several familiar leaders outside the mourning hall one by one, he came to the reception room with the two brothers Xue Wenkai. After the host and guest were seated and served tea, Xue Wenkai said to Bai Shuo in a painful voice: "Boss Bai

, my father died unjustly, I must avenge him and find out the mastermind behind the scenes. I also hope that you, Boss Bai, can support me."

Bai Shuo calmly picked up the tea and took a sip. He looked at Xue Wenkai and thought to himself: This Xue Wenkai had been playing games with him before. He had just hinted at his attitude during the memorial ceremony, and he immediately wanted to

How can it be so easy to get benefits from yourself?

Thinking of this, Bai Shuo suddenly put the tea cup down on the table and said in a stiff tone: "Wen Kai, why didn't you tell me that such a big thing happened?!"
