Chapter 185
"The Bai family's keepsake..."
Luo Xini looked at the photos, just out of appreciation for the artwork, and did not take her friend's words seriously.
She did not want to get involved in the internal struggles of the powerful families in the country.
So, she quickly forgot about the photos.
Rather than looking for a "keepaway", she would rather spend more time looking for her lost ring.
Luo Xini cast her eyes on Lu Yi in the corner.
Lu Yi, who was originally eating boiled potatoes, seemed to have sensed the dangerous gaze, shuddered, and did not dare to look up, but subconsciously accelerated the speed of eating.
He ate too fast and choked all of a sudden, and immediately showed a painful expression.
Luo Xini frowned and walked towards him.
"Uh...! Uh...!"
Lu Yi covered his neck and sent a signal for help with difficulty, his face flushed.
Luo Xini quickly made a move and gave him a precise punch, knocking out the potato that was stuck in his neck.
"Puff... cough cough cough!"
He crawled on the ground and coughed violently.
He didn't feel any joy after surviving the disaster. He just felt that he was really unlucky, miserable, and had no desire to live.
It would be better to...
be choked to death quietly!
He was locked up in such a dark place every day, eating food that was almost like pig food. He was going crazy, really going crazy!
"Luxu, you are really a very unlucky person."
"Yeah." Luxu slightly raised his head to look at her, sneered: "I am so unlucky that I don't want to live anymore, you might as well kill me."
Luoxini frowned: "I don't want to kill you."
Luxu heard this, his eyes darkened: "Then what do you want to do, do you want to keep me like a pet?"
Luoxini still shook her head: "I don't have such plans."
After that, she slowly stood up, looked down at the embarrassed Luxu, and said calmly: "Killing you will not make my luck better, but may bring me unnecessary trouble. Of course, I will not do such a loss-making business."
Luxu laughed at himself.
The reason for not killing him is this.
Has his life become so humble?
Does he really have a chance to turn the tide like this?
"You can try to convince me to let you go." Luo Xini was not interested in tossing a self-destructive waste. She was ready to leave the country: "I can tell you clearly that I have no intention of supporting you forever."
After hearing this, Lu Xu's eyes brightened again.
Will she really let him go?
No, maybe this is another temptation like Yuan Ziya!
These damn women always say one thing and mean another, and take pleasure in torturing him.
"I..."
Lu Xu opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping.
In the end, he said nothing and silently retreated to the corner.
Forget it!
He should say less.
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, and he can't figure it out!
He said those compliments before, not only did he not get her kindness, but he was also kicked hard by her.
Now, he doesn't want to talk to women anymore.
Seeing that Lu Xu began to lose his will again, Luo Xini lost interest in communicating with him.
She turned around and left the basement.
…
Haicheng.
The interior of a seemingly ordinary teahouse.
An old man wearing a navy blue Zhongshan suit and a goatee, accompanied by a young man in a Taoist robe, walked up the attic and came to the door of the private room called "Heya".
The young man took two steps forward and knocked on the door of the private room.
The people in the private room quickly came over to open the door and respectfully called "Master Shi Ran".
Master Shi Ran was the skinny old man with a goatee.
When someone greeted him, he just nodded lightly and didn't pay much attention.
From the moment he entered the door, Master Shi Ran had been frowning, and seemed very unhappy. The little Taoist priest who followed him looked around furtively, like a curious baby.
This private room is very large, and the layout inside is a typical Chinese style, simple and quiet, low-key but revealing a solemn and noble atmosphere.
Behind a huge pearwood carved screen, an old man coughed weakly.
The air was filled with a faint smell of medicine.
A middle-aged man with a square face came out from behind the screen and greeted Master Shi Ran with a flattering smile.
"Master Shi Ran, you have also seen that my father..."
"Mr. Bai." Master Shi Ran looked at him and said meaningfully: "Speak directly, there is no need for us to beat around the bush."
This "Mr. Bai" is the old man's eldest son, Bai Deyao.Bai Deyao is a famous figure in the political world.
It is quite difficult for ordinary people to meet him.
His image in front of the public has always been serious and intimidating.
However, today, he was full of smiles, and his words revealed humility: "Please help me. This is my real father, I have feelings for him..."
Master Shi Ran said coldly: "The old man is 105 years old, and he is sick all over. He has to face endless pain every day of his life. If you are really filial, it is better to let go as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Bai Deyao's smile, which was not sincere to begin with, became even colder.
He turned around and looked at the screen.
The old man's hearing was severely damaged ten years ago, and now he is basically deaf.
Therefore, Bai Deyao never thought of avoiding the old man when discussing things with others.
"I'll be frank." Bai Deyao retracted his gaze and said calmly and cruelly: "Before I find the antiques, the old man can't die, he must live. He is my biological father. If he has some affection for me, he should help me with this."
Master Shi Ran looked at him silently.
Bai Deyao walked forward a few steps, bypassed the screen, and walked to the balcony with a better view.
He stood on the balcony, looking at this metropolis full of luxury, with a smile on his lips.
"Master, you know my current situation better than anyone else."
"I'm only fifty-nine years old, I don't want to die!"
"I'm waiting for these antiques to save my future and my life!"
"I'm the eldest son of the Bai family. If those things are not given to me, who else can they be given to?"
Speaking of this, Bai Deyao slowly turned back and looked at Master Shi Ran: "Could it be that there is really a branch of the Bai family? Haha, those people, even if they are still alive, are probably just mud legs in the countryside, and they can't become anything."
Master Shi Ran remained silent.
With his level of cultivation, one can see far ahead.
He knew that Mr. Bai would die tonight, and that Bai Deyao's death was inevitable. The huge branch of the Bai family in front of him would soon collapse.
The branch of the Bai family that Bai Deyao mentioned was the one that was going to prosper.
"Everything that rises must decline, everything that reaches its extreme must turn around, the moon waxes and wanes..."
Master Shi Ran sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.
However, the bodyguards at the door were not vegetarians, and they surrounded him one by one.
Bai Deyao pushed his glasses and looked at the other person expressionlessly.
"If you don't help me, I can't leave."
