Li Li respectfully accepted the gold credit card and paid a deposit of 200,000. She then returned the card. Upon her return, someone specifically brought over coffee, black tea, and small snacks.
Li Li presented the coffee to Bai Xi with both hands. "Since Miss Bai wishes to move in as soon as possible, I will arrange for someone to commence renovations shortly."
Bai Xi took the coffee, added milk, and then took out a lollipop from her pocket. She unwrapped it and stirred it into the coffee. "You may send someone over tomorrow. Besides the renovations, I need to clear out some unnecessary garbage from the villa today."
She clearly remembered the words spoken by the servants during the mercenary siege of the Bai family villa.
Since they did not wish to stay at the Bai family villa, she would naturally grant their wish. However, before fulfilling their wish, she would ensure they faced the consequences and learned their lessons.
Meanwhile, Bai Lian had already returned to the Zhou family.
In a guest room at the Zhou family residence, Bai Qian was still lying on the bed, his arms and legs encased in plaster casts.
The Zhou family's physician was skilled and had used the most advanced techniques, yet he would still need ten to fifteen days before he could get out of bed. That little b*tch Bai Xi was truly ruthless.
However, it didn't matter. That little b*tch was probably already dead and unrecognizable by now.
As he was contemplating this, the door to the room was pushed open.
Bai Lian walked in, her face contorted with rage.
Bai Qian frowned. "Lian'er, who are you making that face at? This is the Zhou family. You'd best control your emotions, or Zhou Wen might see you like this and become disgusted. We still need him to make a comeback!"
Bai Lian aggressively threw her handbag onto the sofa. "Father, what is Zhao Minghan doing? Why is Bai Xi still alive, and even so arrogant!"
Bai Qian frowned. "Did you run into Bai Xi today?"
Bai Lian recounted the events at the Home Furnishing World to Bai Qian. Bai Qian frowned slightly. "Could it be that Zhao Minghan plans to make his move later? I'll give him a call to ask."
With that, he directly took out his phone.
After ringing for a long time, the call was finally answered. "Hello, Mr. Zhao. Didn't you say yesterday that you were going to teach Bai Xi a lesson? Why is she still alive and well?"
The phone remained silent for a while before finally responding, but the voice on the other end was not Zhao Minghan's. He said, "Did you instigate Minghan to cause trouble for the Bai family's eldest daughter?"
Bai Qian was slightly stunned. "Who are you?"
The voice on the other end said lightly, "Zhao Kai."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qian's eyes suddenly widened, and his voice took on a hint of flattery. "So it's Commander Zhao. I am Bai Qian, the executive president of Bai Group. It's an honor to meet you..."
Before he could finish, a cold voice came from the other end of the line: "From today onwards, the Zhao Group will completely withdraw..."
Bai Qian nodded.
On the other end of the phone.
Zhao Kai hung up the phone and tossed it directly into the roaring flames of an incinerator.
Inside the incinerator was none other than the corpse of his nephew, Zhao Minghan.
The person beside him couldn't help but say, "Commander Zhao, please accept my condolences."
Zhao Kai said lightly, "I have already left the Dark Department, and I am no longer your commander. You don't need to address me as such."
The person beside him sighed softly and finally said, "Commander Zhao, why didn't you tell Bai Qian that it was his instigation that led to Zhao Minghan's death, caused the Zhao family to lose half a lifetime of hard work, and forced you to leave the Dark Department? You should have made him compensate the Zhao family for their losses!"
Zhao Kai's eyes sharpened slightly. "Even if I had told him, a mere Bai Qian could not afford to compensate."
The best compensation Bai Qian could offer was to let him remain ignorant, continue to cause trouble in front of the Bai deity, and ultimately die without a burial place!
Bai family villa.
As Bai Xi approached the villa entrance, the main gate of the villa opened, with servants standing on either side. Upon seeing Bai Xi return, they immediately exclaimed, "Welcome home, Eldest Miss."
"Welcome home, Eldest Miss."
"Welcome home, Eldest Miss."
Bai Xi walked silently into the villa, her gaze serene.
At this moment, a man around fifty years old also stepped forward, placing his hand underneath, as if expecting Bai Xi to place her hand on his arm. He smiled obsequiously, "Eldest Miss has finally returned. You, go and prepare a bath for the Eldest Miss immediately. By the way, does Eldest Miss prefer Chinese or Western-style dinner? I will instruct the kitchen to prepare..."
When Bai Qian left, he had also intended to leave with him.
After all, what did it matter that Bai Xi had returned? She was just a young girl. Even if she took back the Bai family, it was believed she would soon squander it all.
If he stayed here, he wouldn't gain anything.
The appearance of the mercenaries yesterday, and the fact that they were almost blown to pieces, made him hate Bai Xi even more. Although Bai Xi had hired some thug escorts to deal with the mercenaries, he was sure the money for these escorts would come from the Bai family's existing assets. The Bai Group would be ruined by her sooner or later.
Therefore, after yesterday's events, he immediately contacted Bai Qian, saying he wanted to leave. Bai Qian had initially agreed, saying he would send a car to pick him up in a day or two. But just now, Bai Qian had suddenly called and told him to stay and monitor Bai Xi, to cooperate with him in dealing with her, and to secretly transfer the Bai family's assets.
He had also promised him one-third as a reward upon completion.
Naturally, he would accept such a good deal.
This Bai Xi was just a young lady with a lot of thugs under her control. In the end, she was just a young girl. Women were the easiest to deal with. Coax her nicely, show concern, say sweet words, take care of her daily life, use her money to arrange all sorts of thoughtful details for her. With such cheap flattery, one could gain their trust.
