Chapter 320 Nanchun, wait for me!
Chapter 320 Nanchun, wait for me!
After the contract was signed, everyone sat for a while, presented gifts, and then left.
Bai Xun said, "I will host a banquet for you all at the Hui Cui Building in a couple of days. I hope you will come and enjoy the meal!"
"sure!"
“I’ll definitely be there on time!”
Bai Yishui saw Bai Xun handling the situation with ease and commanding the support of everyone. He felt both proud and uneasy.
Seeing that he looked unhappy, Han Bailing hurriedly said, "Grandfather, let's go back to the old house before it gets dark! I still don't understand some of the accounts and I want to ask you for advice!"
Bai Yishui knew she was trying to give him a way out, so he responded, "Okay, let's go! Xun'er, you should go back to the old house more often to see your grandmother."
Bai Xun responded, "Grandson knows."
After returning to the old house, Bai Yishui went straight to the study. He looked serious and seemed unhappy.
Bai Shan brought him some hot tea and asked cautiously, "Master, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Bai Yishui snorted: "How can I be the head of the family now? Xun'er is the head of the family!"
Bai Shan couldn't figure out his thoughts for a moment, and after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Are you angry with yourself?"
"What else? Are you angry with our new head of the family? He is very powerful. He has a lot of followers. I just handed over the power to him, and what I said is worthless now." Bai Yishui said angrily.
Bai Shan understood that the old patriarch was feeling disappointed.
Having been the head of a family for most of his life, he suddenly lost all his power and no one supported him anymore. For someone as proud as him, he must have felt bad.
Bai Shan said, "After all, the Second Young Madam's affairs are the Bai family's family affairs, and it's really hard for President Jiang and the others to say anything."
Bai Yishui glared and said, "What about Xun'er? He has a sullen face and doesn't say a word. Isn't this embarrassing me in public and making it difficult for me to get out of this situation?"
Bai Shan advised, "Master, you have high hopes for the Second Young Master and have carefully nurtured him since childhood. Today, I witnessed the Second Young Master clashing with members of the branch clan. Every move he made hit their vital points, leaving them with no way to retreat and even causing internal strife. I truly appreciate your excellent teaching! Under your and the Second Young Master's leadership, the Bai Family will surely prosper."
Bai Yishui felt much more relieved. He sighed softly, "Xun'er has been able to achieve the people's support and the public's expectations in such a short time. I am very pleased. But... I am also a little worried.
If he holds great power, with nothing to restrain him, will he act recklessly? For example, if he still has feelings for Nanchun, will he hand over the Underground Palace to her? Nanchun is still a hidden danger.
Bai Shan nodded: "So what do you mean?"
"Send a message to Xinchuanling. If you see Nanchun, capture him. If you can't catch him, kill him." Bai Yishui sighed, "I'm not a cold-blooded person. If he sets his sights on the Underground Fairy Palace, he's courting death. If he stays away from Xun'er and these things, I won't hold him back."
In the evening, Ah Fu came hurriedly to report.
"Master, our people have found traces of Lingyun and Jindou."
Bai Xun stood up and asked hurriedly, "Where's Nanchun?"
Ah Fu frowned and said, "They said they didn't see the Second Young Madam. They only saw Lingyun and Jindou come out of the paradise, buy something on the street, and then go to Ning'an Teahouse."
Bai Xun sat on the chair somewhat disappointedly, feeling very uneasy.
He knew Nanchun. With Nanchun's temper, it was impossible for him to stay in the house for so long without coming out.
Unless he can't come out or he is not in Jincheng at all.
The Fourth Master would not let Nanchun out of his sight for the time being. The Fourth Master was in Jincheng, so Nanchun must still be in Jincheng.
Is he sick?
"By the way, our people also mentioned a detail, saying that Lingyun and Jindou had a conflict with a man named Liu in the teahouse." Ah Fu suddenly remembered.
"Where is the person who came to deliver the message?" Bai Xun asked.
"Waiting outside."
"Let him in quickly, I want to ask him in person." Bai Xun said hurriedly.
"Hey."
The man's name was Feng Ming. When he saw Bai Xun, he quickly bowed and said, "Master!"
"Tell me what happened when you met Lingyun and Jindou that day." Bai Xun said.
Feng Ming said, "Yes! Brother Afu gave us portraits of Lingyun and Jindou before, and also described their figures and appearances to us in detail. We followed your instructions and waited near the amusement park, teahouse, and theater."
That day, a girl and a boy emerged from the back door of the amusement park, heading out to do some shopping. After carefully comparing them to their portraits, I confirmed they were Lingyun and Jindou. I followed them all the way to the teahouse.
Everyone in the teahouse was discussing the change of ownership of the Bai family. A foreign businessman named Liu was being rude and badmouthing you and the Second Young Madam. Lingyun and Jindou got into a fight with him.
Then a strange man in his twenties or thirties came in. He was very good at talking and humiliated the man surnamed Liu. Then the fourth master of the Sheng family came and said that the man surnamed Liu had accepted dirty money and deliberately caused trouble in Jincheng.
The man surnamed Liu didn't dare to confront the Fourth Master and walked away in disgrace, his tail between his legs. The strange man, Jindou, and Lingyun followed the Fourth Master Sheng to the backyard.
Bai Xun thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me in detail about that strange man. What does he look like?"
"He was wearing a long gown and a melon-shaped hat. He was thin, with dark skin and a mustache. I thought his voice sounded familiar, but I really didn't have any impression of this person." Feng Ming frowned.
"Did he go to the teahouse with the Fourth Master?" Bai Xun asked.
"That's right. The Fourth Master first took him to the theater, and not long after, they came to the teahouse. The man surnamed Liu mocked the Second Young Madam's family for being in the business of dealing in the dead. The man said that his family was also in the business of dealing in the dead, and asked Liu to ask him to collect the body and find a cemetery when he died." Feng Ming said.
Bai Xun had a doubt in his heart. He was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you think that person looks like Nanchun?"
Feng Ming was slightly startled, trying to recall the man's appearance. His eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Now that you mention it, he does look a bit like him. The voice is similar, and the height is about the same. But... he's darker and older than the Second Young Madam, and a lot thinner."
Bai Xun's heart trembled slightly.
This person should be Nanchun.
"Did Chunxiao return to Jincheng?"
"Yes, I had just arrived in Jincheng that morning."
Bai Xun sighed. "That person is Nanchun. Chunxiao is very good at makeup. Blackening his face and sticking on a fake beard is not difficult for him. You said he has lost weight?"
Feng Ming nodded and said, "Yes, I'm much thinner than when I was with you in Jincheng."
"Okay, go and rest!" Bai Xun said.
Ah Fu saw Feng Ming off. When he returned, he saw Bai Xun looking worried. He sighed and said, "It hasn't been long since she left, and the Second Young Madam has become so thin that even Feng Ming can't recognize her..."
Bai Xun frowned, feeling indescribable pain in his heart.
Nanchun, wait for me a little longer.
