Chapter 612: 332 is not the right time_2

Bai Zhengli’s promotion this time was really fortuitous. If this news were made public, it would mean the Bai Family had only lost a Level 3 superpower user, making it much easier for everyone to accept. However, the problem was that he had gone to great lengths to marginalize Bai Zhengli. Once the news of his promotion to Level 3 spread, who knew how many eyes would be watching Bai Zhengli! Wouldn’t Bai Zhengli become the talk of the town?

Bai Zhengyi was very dissatisfied inside but couldn’t think of a better method, so he just frowned, deep in thought.

Bai Yi had been carefully watching his father’s expression the whole time. Seeing him silent, Bai Yi grew even more anxious. Naturally, he was worried about Bai Ye seeking revenge, so he had planned to capture Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin and deliver them to Dr. Sun as test subjects. Who knew that before the Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps could take action, Poison Wolf ran into trouble, with the mercenary group losing nearly half of their manpower. Following that, an incident occurred with Dr. Sun.

Bai Yi felt overwhelmed. He remembered the look in Bai Ye’s eyes before he left and wished he could have someone eliminate Bai Ye immediately! He had just been scolded, otherwise he would have acted recklessly, so he asked Bai Zhengyi, hoping to see if he had any solutions.

Unfortunately, Bai Zhengyi said nothing, his face grim, and it was unclear exactly what he was thinking. Bai Yi waited a moment, and seeing that his father was still unwilling to speak, he finally lost his patience and asked anxiously, "Dad, what do we do now? The research institute was destroyed by Zhao Qiankun, and he surely has plenty of evidence about us. Once he releases it, the Bai Family is finished! And then there’s Bai Ye and Bai Zhengli, since they already know so much, I fear they will turn away from us. Wouldn’t it be better to just cut our losses!"

Bai Zhengyi couldn’t listen any longer. He didn’t mind eliminating Bai Ye and Bai Zhengli, but how? They had just lost two Level 3 superpower users, and the remaining members couldn’t afford the slightest loss! If Bai Zhengli were still a Second-level Superpower User, he would have dispatched a Level 3 to surely eliminate him, but Bai Zhengli was now a Level 3 Superpower User!

In that case, how would an average Level 3 Superpower User kill him even if they could fight him to a standstill?

The situation was truly difficult to deal with and wasn’t the most urgent matter at hand, yet Bai Yi couldn’t see it and was only focused on getting rid of Bai Ye! He was truly an infuriating fool!

Bai Zhengyi suddenly thought of Qu Qianlin of the Qu Family. He had enjoyed watching the spectacle at the banquet before and laughed at Qu Xiuhong’s incompetence in raising his children, causing a public scene and losing face! But now, he suddenly felt even worse than Qu Xiuhong!

Qu Qianlin might have been a fool, reckless and impulsive, but at most he had made the Qu Family lose face, nothing more. But Bai Yi was different. The things he had done, whether setting death traps for Bai Ye, joining forces with the notorious Poison Wolf Mercenary Corps, or colluding with Dr. Sun to experiment on living people—if any of that came to light, the Bai Family would be utterly ruined!

The more Bai Zhengyi thought about it, the more discontent he felt, but it was at this moment that Bai Yi spoke up again, suggesting, "Dad, why not negotiate with Zhao Qiankun? We can’t just do nothing, right?"

This time, Bai Zhengyi nodded. He sighed, with a lack of enthusiasm, and said, "That’s the only choice, I will contact Zhao Qiankun." Saying this, he dialed Zhao Qiankun’s communicator number.

When the communicator rang, Zhao Qiankun was in bed enjoying the passionate company of Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin. The communicator had been tossed on the nightstand, and he was so excited, plus Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin were continuously moaning, that he didn’t even hear the ringing of the communicator until Han Lingxi reminded him, "Brother Kun... the communicator... it’s ringing..."

Zhao Qiankun then heard the ringing of the communicator, feeling very annoyed. He was initially unwilling to pay attention, but Han Lingxi had already stretched her arm from the nightstand to grab it. She glanced at the screen, saw the name displayed, her face changed, and said to Zhao Qiankun, "Brother Kun, it’s Bai Zhengyi."

"Him?" Zhao Qiankun frowned in confusion and impatience, "At this hour, what does he want from me?" Although he said this, he still took the communicator and chose to answer.

Both sides tacitly chose not to turn on the video, so the screen remained dark. Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin silently refrained from speaking. Zhao Qiankun asked lazily, "Family Head Bai, why are you looking for me at this hour?" His voice carried notes of complaint and impatience.

Bai Zhengyi was not using a Bluetooth headset, so Zhao Qiankun’s voice came out from the speaker, causing both he and Bai Yi to frown in displeasure. The Bai Family had been powerful even before the apocalypse, but Zhao Qiankun was a grassroots upstart with unknown origins, so Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi felt a sense of innate superiority over Zhao Qiankun and looked down on him.

But now, Zhao Qiankun dared to speak to them in such a manner—it was outrageous! Though they were angry, they didn’t forget the matter at hand. They exchanged a glance, their suspicion of Zhao Qiankun growing.

Zhao Qiankun’s attitude was too arrogant; therefore, Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi couldn’t help but wonder, why was he so brazen? Did he have a trump card up his sleeve to use against them? Feeling sure of his victory, was that why he didn’t take them seriously?

The father and son guessed correctly—Zhao Qiankun indeed didn’t take them seriously. Although he came from humble beginnings, the trump card in his hand was enough to make him look down on everyone! Under normal circumstances, even if he thought little of Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi, he wouldn’t show it so openly—it was just that Bai Zhengyi’s call couldn’t have come at a worse time!
