“Listen to First, Fifth,” the fourth patriarch who was sitting next to the fifth patriarch glared at him to shut him up.
“So why did you come and mess with our meeting?” asked the sixth patriarch suddenly.
Ye Yuwei curled her lips and looked at him.
“Did I?” Ye Yuwei scoffed, her hands on the table. “Did I ask to be here?”
“You have a glib tongue, young lady,” said the sixth patriarch who then stood up to leave.
Nalan Chunbo watched them arguing, and was about to leave until he noticed that Bai Ying was about to say something.
“Where are you going, Sixth Uncle? Wasn’t it you who wanted to confirm if my daughter had really been switched?” Bai Ying asked as she looked at the sixth patriarch coldly.
It was the sixth patriarch who had continuously insisted that Bai Ying had killed Ye Shu back then.
Nalan Chunbo leaned back in his chair and watched the sixth patriarch do the same with his lips curled.
Meanwhile, Gu Juexi who was at the third patriarch’s room heard the conversation through his earpiece. In cases like this, the unsettled one was the one to be suspected.
Could it be the sixth patriarch?
Gu Juexi left the third patriarch’s place almost immediately and went to the sixth patriarch’s place. He needed to make every second count. Ye Yuwei was in the Bai family’s lair alone, so he had to get the distribution map as soon as possible and circulate it.
“The Bai family is making their move, Boss,” said Yu Jiangqing from the earpiece.
Gu Juexi rushed to the sixth patriarch’s place without stopping and climbed the wall to get in. “Get someone to intercept all the information that the Bai family sent. They are not stupid, I am sure they have noticed that something is wrong.”
“The technical support team is on it and the captain wants to talk to you.”
“I don’t have the time…”
“Who gave you the guts to go to that place, Gu Juexi?!” Gu Juexi heard the captain roar from his earpiece before he could say anything.
Gu Juexi sneaked into the sixth patriarch’s study and began to search the room very quickly.
“It’s for personal reasons.”
“Personal reasons? Do you know how big an impact it would have and how many would be involved because of this? You will be punished for this when you are back.”
“You don’t have the right to do so, Captain. I am no longer your soldier,” said Gu Juexi emotionlessly while a tapping sound came from the other earpiece that he was wearing. That was Nalan Chunbo’s signal warning him to leave.
Gu Juexi jumped out of the window before he could think, and a few bodyguards entered to check the study right after he left the room.
Gu Juexi cursed softly at how cautious the patriarchs were.
Meanwhile, Ye Yuwei was still dealing with the patriarchs in the lobby and became nervous when she saw a few bodyguards leave after the sixth patriarch said something to one of them.
“Alright. You claim that I am the daughter of this mistress. Was it based solely on what Bai Yuyan said? She always lied since she was a kid, what makes you think it was not just another lie? Or are you just using that as an excuse to bring me here?”
“We mean no harm to you, young lady. What if you really are the heir of the Bai family? We can’t just ignore it and let you drift out there if you really are the heir of the Bai family, can we?” The first patriarch asked patiently, “Do you see the people here? The Bai family’s foundation is all here.”
“So what? What does it have to do with me?” Ye Yuwei asked, faking a calm face.
The first patriarch wore a smile on his wrinkled face, then ordered loudly, “Close the gate.”
