Chapter 607: 330 Did you level up?

Bai Yi listened to Bai Zhengyi’s words, his heart filled with bitterness, and he couldn’t help but think of Bai Ye. From a young age, Bai Ye had always outperformed him, which often led Bai Zhengyi to belittle him as useless compared to Bai Ye’s capabilities. As more and more people said the same, he grew to loathe Bai Ye deeply, wishing he could swiftly get rid of him.

Yet, although he could get angry when others said such things, he dared not show his discontent when Bai Zhengyi spoke in this manner. He could only bow his head, silently bearing Bai Zhengyi’s dissatisfaction.

At that moment, Bai Zhengyi was sitting in a well-lit room, providing enough light for him to clearly see the reluctance that quickly flashed across Bai Yi’s face. He snorted coldly and said, "What? You disagree?"

Bai Yi, of course, felt indignant but dared not admit it. Instead, he said to Bai Zhengyi, "Dad, didn’t Zhao Qiankun disappear for half an hour during the event? I suspect it was then that he took action, the timing fits perfectly."

Bai Zhengyi nodded noncommittally and asked, "Apart from Zhao Qiankun, was there anyone else suspicious?"

Bai Yi’s face changed instantly upon hearing this. He sneakily glanced at Bai Zhengyi’s face and indeed saw his grim expression, clearly indicating that he already knew everything!

Panic surged in Bai Yi’s heart, but he could only suppress his unease and regretfully said, "Dad! I was too careless with this matter! I really didn’t expect the opponent to be so formidable! I had specifically arranged two Third-Level Superpower Users and a hundred Second-Level Superpower Users for security, thinking it would be foolproof, but who knew..."

Before he could finish, Bai Zhengyi interrupted with a cold laugh, "Who knew that the opponent would be so powerful, capable of silently taking down everyone involved!" His gaze then sharpened as he looked at Bai Yi, "The White Wolf Mercenary Corps currently has only ten Third-Level Superpower Users; each one is extremely important to both the White Wolf and the Bai Family. Yet because of you, we’ve lost two! And those Second-Level Superpower Users, all loyal elites of the Bai Family! Bai Yi, you really have some nerve!"

Bai Yi was well aware that this incident had been a massive loss for the Bai Family. His face full of regret, he said, "Dad, I truly realize my mistake! I really didn’t expect things to turn out this way! Just before the banquet, Dr. Sun happily told me that there had been progress in his research, and he had created a new Promotion Potion. With successful experimentation, the White Wolf Mercenary Corps could have a large number of High-Level Superpower Users in no time! Then, who in Beishi Base could stand against us?

Dr. Sun also said he decided to conduct the experiment tonight and test the effects of the potion, who would have known... who would have known it would turn out like this! Dad! It must have been that bastard Zhao Qiankun who tampered with the communicator! Only Dr. Sun and I knew about this, no one else had a clue! It must have been Zhao Qiankun who eavesdropped on our communicator and found out!"

Bai Zhengyi gave him a disappointed look and suddenly asked, "Are you sure Dr. Sun is really dead?"

"I..." Bai Yi started to speak then suddenly paused. Yes, no bodies were left in the research facility, and the safe was hidden extremely well. Logically, it shouldn’t have been found! He then realized, the safe’s lock had not been violently broken, meaning the perpetrator not only had the key but also knew the password!

Bai Zhengyi continued, "That madman Sun would disregard anything as long as he could continue his research. If Zhao Qiankun contacted him, do you think he would still follow you? Besides, even someone as formidable as Zhao Qiankun couldn’t silently kill two Third-Level Superpower Users and a hundred Second-Level Superpower Users without alerting others nearby. But if those people were ambushed beforehand, that would be a different matter."

Hearing this, Bai Yi’s face grew increasingly troubled. He had previously wondered how so many had died so silently, what method Zhao Qiankun could have used to handle these people without alerting others. He had never considered Dr. Sun’s betrayal, so he hadn’t thought of this possibility.

Now reminded by Bai Zhengyi, he realized something was amiss. Yes, if it were an external infiltration, some noise would have been inevitable. But if the sabotage came from within, if they had been ambushed first, then everything would have been much easier!
