Rebirth: Pampered Wife's Counterattack

Chapter 662: Turn Them Into Ghosts

“It isn’t good for this subordinate to speak on this matter.” Whenever there were arguments between his masters, as long as it did not compromise the Bai family’s overall status, it wasn’t right for him to express his private opinion.

Bai Chongshan rubbed his grey beard and appeared to be deep in thought.

Tong Yu stepped forward and said, “Elder, I believe that this matter is unrelated to Miss Fang. Rather than luck, it is clear that Hao Changsheng was instructed to act in this way.”

“How did you appear so quickly earlier?” Bai Chongshan verbalised his confusion.

Tong Yu did not hide this from him. “Miss Fang had instructed this subordinate to secretly protect you from any harm.”

Bai Chongshan shifted his questioning gaze onto Fang Xinxin. “Little girl, you knew beforehand that I would be in danger?”

“I didn’t know.” Fang Xinxin shook her head. “But just as Huang Zhishu and Bai Jingrou said, a lot of ‘strange’ things have been happening in the Bai family. I was worried and immediately thought of you first. After all, you’re an elder and it isn’t good for you to suffer any fright. Thus, I decided to let Tong Yu pay attention to your safety at all times.”

“I think you were just trying to keep an eye on the elder,” Bai Jingrou mocked.

Fang Xinxin wanted to explain, but Bai Chongshan waved his hand. “Xinxin, this little girl, definitely was not trying to do that. If it wasn’t for her, perhaps my life would have been lost today.”

“What happened?” Bai Qinghao’s tall and broad figure approached them.

Butler Bai Mingde stepped forward and reported the incident to him.

Bai Qinghao’s sharp and cold gaze swept past Bai Jingrou and Huang Zhishu. “The two of you believe that Fang Xinxin ruined the Bai family’s luck, is that it?”

The mother and daughter pair that had been chattering on earlier immediately lost their courage after meeting his frigid cold gaze.

“I was just making a conjecture…” Huang Zhishu began with some hesitation.

“A conjecture…” A hint of mocking flashed past Bai Qinghao’s eyes. “If you’re dissatisfied with Xinxin’s words or behaviour, feel free to scram out of the Bai family! This way, the Bai family’s luck would be completely unrelated to you outsiders.”

“Qinghao, that wasn’t what I meant.” Huang Zhishu immediately declared passionately. “No matter what happens to the Bai family, I’ll always be willing to remain in the same boat with the Bai family and confront the troubles together.”

Bai Qinghao appeared to have heard an especially humorous joke. He lifted his brows. “Haven’t you spent the past twenty years as leeches of the Bai family? Sharing the same boat and confronting the same problems? You speak as though the Bai family is in an extremely poor state.”

“That isn’t what I meant…” Huang Zhishu wanted to continue explaining. The Bai family’s influence and status was incomparable in this country.

But Bai Qinghao did not have the patience to listen any further. He instructed in a heavy voice. “Take Hao Changsheng’s body away. Have a forensic investigator examine his body and clarify the cause of his death.”

He then narrowed his eyes coldly. “If this matter is found to be related to anyone, punish them by death!”

Several people were left trembling in fright from his words.

“Understood.” Two of the helpers waiting by the side stepped forward to move the body away.

Fang Xinxin was unaffected. “Hurry up and find out exactly who was behind this. It would be best if the instigator is dragged forward. We’ll dismember them before burying them.”

“Miss Fang, you can’t push away the blame just by speaking harshly.” Bai Jingrou did not wish to offend Bai Qinghao and only said, “I believe that Cousin’s people will investigate fairly.”

“From the moment my uncle, Bai Pu, brought two outsiders into the Bai family, the Bai family was doomed to never know peace.” Bai Qinghao rubbed Fang Xinxin’s cheek. “But there’s no need to be afraid. If anyone is found causing trouble in the Bai family, even if they refuse to leave, we can turn them into ghosts!”
