Bai Qian noticed Qian Feng's strange expression and asked, "Director Qian, what's wrong? Did you come here... for something else?"
Qian Feng straightened his round face, looking severe, and glared at her. "Someone, arrest Bai Qian immediately and bring her to the Security Bureau for interrogation."
Bai Qian froze in place at his words. "What, what, what is going on! Director Qian, we are going to be relatives, how can you arrest me?"
Bai Lian was clearly shocked as well. "That's right, Uncle, we are all family. How can you arrest my daddy!"
Qian Feng would have been better off if he hadn't heard this. Hearing it, he immediately became enraged. "Miss Bai, let alone that you haven't even married Ah Wen yet. Even if you were already married to Ah Wen, and Bai Qian truly became Ah Wen's father-in-law, I, Qian Feng, as the upright director of the Security Bureau, would still have to uphold justice and eliminate my own kin."
If he had dragged his feet as usual, or simply turned a blind eye, he would have met a terrible end.
He wasn't foolish; he was perfectly clear-headed!
Bai Qian was extremely unwilling. "What crime have I committed?"
Bai Lian chimed in, "Exactly! My daddy was injured and has been recuperating at the Zhou family's residence these past few days. How could he possibly do anything illegal or violate discipline?"
Qian Feng said coldly, "Just because you haven't committed any crimes these past few days doesn't mean you didn't commit them before. You evaded taxes, abused your authority, and even allowed your servants to attack your own nephew. You even caused malicious harm. The circumstances are severe. I am now arresting you on behalf of the Security Bureau."
Bai Qian was stunned. "This, how is this possible? Who said this!"
Bai Lian reacted first. "Who else could it be, knowing so much about our Bai family's affairs!"
It was Bai Xi. This Bai Xi, how detestable, she just had to make things difficult for them.
Qian Feng ignored them completely, merely stating coldly, "It doesn't matter who said it. The fact is, we have both witnesses and evidence. You just need to come back with us. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to explain when Ah Wen returns."
With that, several armed personnel from the Security Bureau quickly stepped forward, lifted Bai Qian, who was lying on the bed, and carried her away.
Bai Lian immediately stepped forward to stop them. "You, you can't do this. I, I, I'll call Brother Wen right now."
Saying this, she took out her phone from her handbag and was about to call Zhou Wen.
Seeing this, Qian Feng snatched the phone directly from her hand and smashed it to the ground.
In an instant, the phone screen shattered, and the display went black.
Qian Feng's round face was now cold and stern. "Miss Bai, as Zhou Wen's uncle, I am warning you now. If you continue to be unaware of your place and insist on causing trouble, even if you are carrying Zhou Wen's child, I can represent Zhou Wen's mother's clan and forcibly return you!"
What was that saying again?
Marrying the wrong husband ruins a lifetime; marrying the wrong wife ruins three generations. Just thinking about this woman becoming the mistress of the Zhou family in the future made him feel worried about the future.
This little nephew had initially pleased him quite a bit. How was it that since he got together with this woman, he had become more and more disappointing?
Bai Lian's eyes widened, and she looked at Qian Feng in terror, her body involuntarily trembling, unsure if it was from anger or fear.
Qian Feng snorted and said to his subordinates, "Let's go!"
With that, his subordinates carried Bai Qian away, leaving Bai Lian alone, with vacant eyes.
Just then, Bai Lian suddenly felt a dull pain in her abdomen. This pain instantly brought her back to her senses. She immediately clutched her stomach and sat down on the sofa, shouting loudly, "Help, someone come quickly! My stomach hurts so much, find me a doctor!"
The child in her womb was her only bargaining chip now. She absolutely could not lose it!
Houston Grand Hotel, Presidential Suite.
Bai Xi was gently drying her hair with a towel. Her phone lit up, followed by a melodious ringtone. The contact on the screen read: "Shen Cheng."
She used the discreet phone near her ear to contact the Dark Department. That was a portable mobile phone built with the Dark Department's highest-end technology. However, this phone could only be used within the Dark Department. Having a regular mobile phone was more convenient for other times.
It was with this phone that she had sent a text message to Shen Cheng yesterday.
Bai Xi casually answered the call. Shen Cheng's refined voice came through, "Eldest Miss, Bai Qian has been taken to the Security Bureau. I have already prepared all the evidence and materials. The trial will commence in a few days."
Bai Xi replied, "Good."
Shen Cheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "The Zhou family is not intervening. Bai Qian is clamoring for a lawyer. Should I step in to ensure she has no lawyer available?"
Bai Xi said calmly, "No need. Let him make a fuss. He won't be able to turn things around."
Having no hope is painful, but that pain is far less intense than giving someone a sliver of hope and then crushing it with one's own hands.
Moreover, who was the person she drugged and sent to another man's bed still hadn't appeared? Undoubtedly, she was Bai Qian's last support!
After saying this, Bai Xi turned off her phone and casually tossed it back to its place.
The sound of the sensor door unlocking came from the door not far away. Bai Xi didn't pay it any mind. After all, besides her, no one else could approach or enter this room. The person who could come with an electronic card could only be Tong Yao.
Tong Yao was wearing a white dress that day, looking as pure as a little sister next door.
Bai Xi said faintly, "Our Miss Tong is dressed so cutely today... are you trying to capture some handsome guy's heart?"
Tong Yao's lips curved slightly. "Hmph, do you think I'm someone who only wants men?"
Bai Xi nodded righteously. "Yes!"
"..." Tong Yao was speechless, then she extended her little fist and playfully hit Bai Xi's shoulder. The force was clearly one of a spoiled child. "Hmph, Xi'er, you've become bad outside, and you only like to tease me!"
Bai Xi directly grabbed the offending little hand, using the leverage to gently press her onto the sofa, and said with a smile, "I was just teasing you. You look... very beautiful in this outfit."
Tong Yao looked at the magnified face in front of her, the slightly damp hair, and the lips with a hint of provocation and teasing. Her heart began to beat uncontrollably, and her face flushed like a semi-ripe apple. "Is, is that so?"
At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt her own sexual orientation.
However, it was clear she was normal.
Because at this moment, all she could think was: Oh my god, if Xi'er were a man, she would definitely marry her!
Bai Xi released her hand and sat back down, gently drying her hair. She responded lazily, "Mm."
Tong Yao sat up, took a deep breath, and steadied her mind. She cleared her throat and said, "I also brought you a beautiful dress. Change into it later, and we'll go out to play together."
Bai Xi said faintly, "Go play where?"
Tong Yao's face was full of mystery. "You'll know when we get there."
Bai Xi: "..."
Looking at Tong Yao's secretive demeanor, why did she have a bad premonition?
