Chapter 608: 330 Did you get promoted?_2

Dr. Sun was a researcher who had all sorts of strange potions at his disposal. How could the guards stand a chance if he decided to use them against them?

Bai Yi thought more and more, regret welling up inside him. Was he to blame for all of this? If he hadn’t trusted Dr. Sun so easily, would any of this have happened?

Just then, Bai Zhengyi continued speaking, "Regardless of whether Dr. Sun has defected to Zhao Qiankun, if indeed it was Zhao Qiankun who made the move, he must be holding evidence against you. Once it goes public, do you understand the consequences? The Bai Family will face an unprecedented blow, and the name will be utterly discredited! The White Wolf Mercenary Corps will also crumble apart!

After all, it was one thing for Dr. Sun to use Ordinary People for his experiments, but he also captured many superpower users! Most of the members of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps are superpower users. What do you think will go through their minds when they find out about this? If Dr. Sun had come up with some results that benefited the superpower users of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps, then it would have been a different story. People say, ’He who receives a gift, sells his liberty.’ Since they would have gained from it, they wouldn’t have much to say. Yet, Dr. Sun, up until now, has carried out many perverted experiments and hasn’t produced any results!

Now, his life or death is uncertain, and all his precious research material has disappeared without a trace. Bai Yi has made so much effort, exhausted how many resources and manpower, and now not only has he gained nothing, but he has also attracted trouble, and it could even lead to the ruin of both his name and the Bai Family!

After realizing this, Bai Yi’s face turned extremely ugly. No longer caring if he’d be reproached by Bai Zhengyi for incompetence, he anxiously asked, "Dad! What do we do now? We can’t let Zhao Qiankun’s sinister plans succeed!"

Bai Zhengyi ignored him, but at that moment, Bai Yi heard footsteps approaching from outside. His face shifted subtly, and he couldn’t help but speculate, who would come at this time?

Quickly, the door was knocked on. Without waiting for the person outside to speak, Bai Zhengyi stood up and said, "Come in." Bai Yi grew more suspicious, who exactly was the visitor?

The door soon opened from the outside, and two men walked in. Seeing them, Bai Yi’s expression changed again—the visitors were unexpectedly Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye!

Seeing Bai Zhengyi’s attitude, it was clear that he had called for these two, so despite feeling unpleasant, Bai Yi dared not make a scene.

Bai Zhengli asked, "Why have you called us over so late? What’s the matter?"

Bai Zhengyi glanced quickly at the silent Bai Ye and pointed towards the direction of the upstairs study, "This isn’t the place to talk, let’s go to the study room first." It was one thing for him to scold his son, but in the living room, it seemed rather informal. However, the matter he had to discuss with Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye was of the utmost importance and warranted a more formal setting.

Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye didn’t say much and followed him upstairs to the study room. Bai Zhengyi gave Bai Yi a look, signaling him to follow. Bai Yi actually didn’t want to go; he could guess that Bai Zhengyi had summoned Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye to discuss the very incident that was a stain on his life, and he really didn’t want Bai Ye to know about it!

Unfortunately, Bai Zhengyi had given the order, and Bai Yi, having just caused such a disaster and resulting in the Bai Family’s loss of two Level 3 superpower users and a hundred competent second-level superpower users, didn’t dare resist Bai Zhengyi now.

Soon the four men were in the study room, both Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye understanding that Bai Zhengyi must want to discuss the Secret Research Institute. The situation was indeed troublesome for the entire Bai Family, not to mention with Zhao Qiankun lurking, waiting for the chance for the Bai Family to slip.

However, although they were aware of the gravity, they didn’t show it on their faces. Compared to the anxious Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, they were much more composed. Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi were worried because they thought Zhao Qiankun was the one who acted, and that he had damning evidence against the Bai Family that could lead to their ruin if revealed, thus demanding caution.

But Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye knew it was the Fang Family that acted. Even if Zhao Qiankun truly had evidence, with the Secret Research Institute destroyed, any evidence he brought forward would be without witnesses; they could staunchly deny everything.

But the truth of the matter must not be revealed to Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, or the Fang Family would be in danger. Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye had their own dissatisfaction with the Secret Research Institute Bai Yi had caused, and they were pleased to watch the father and son worry.

The study room’s door, windows, and even the walls were soundproofed. Once closed, no conversation inside could be heard from outside. Given the circumstances, Bai Zhengyi, despite looking serious, addressed the others quite politely, and upon entering the room, he gestured Bai Zhengli and Bai Ye to sit. Bai Yi also took a seat. Although unhappy with his son, he couldn’t very well embarrass his own son in front of others.

As soon as they were seated, Bai Zhengyi got straight to the point and asked, "Xiao Ye, how strong are you now? Can you tell me?" As he spoke, his gaze flickered between Bai Ye and Bai Zhengli, and upon a closer look, he noticed something amiss— Bai Zhengli seemed to have become younger all of a sudden. Could he have advanced in rank?

Seeing Bai Zhengyi noticing Bai Zhengli’s appearance, Bai Ye deliberately spoke up to draw attention to himself. His attitude was quite aloof, "I am merely a Gold Element second-level superpower user. My uncle surely knows this, doesn’t he?" Though they were a collateral line, not closely related to Bai Zhengyi’s branch, Bai Ye still addressed him respectfully as ’uncle’, given Bai Zhengyi’s seniority.

Bai Zhengyi had originally wanted to inquire about Bai Ye’s true strength, but now he couldn’t take his eyes off Bai Zhengli, urgently asking, "Zhengli, did your superpower advance?"
