LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 299: Open Mall Mode!
Finally, the truth was out in the open. Bai Jingbing could hardly believe his eyes as he looked at his younger brother, whose excessive behavior outside had never caused such trouble before!
How could he dare to do this!
"Bai Haoxue! Do you realize that your selfish desires almost led to our father's death!"
Bai Jingbing slammed the table hard as he shouted.
Bai Haoxue trembled in fear, muttering timidly, "What on earth happened..."
"Hmph! Father was poisoned with Gu, and the culprit is the father of that girl you wronged!!!"
Bai Jingbing was nearly beside himself with anger, wishing he could expel this disgraceful brother from the family.
"Now that everyone knows what happened, what do you plan to do?"
Song Yun asked quietly from the side.
This question stumped Bai Jingbing, whose first thought was to downplay the incident now that the culprit had been punished, as if nothing had happened.
However, after he caught a glimpse of Song Yun's eyes, all his little schemes went up in smoke.
Although Song Yun was not one to vehemently hate evil or constantly act as a saint, he was reasonable!
The root cause of this incident was Bai Haoxue's mistake because of his lust, which led to a series of events!
Therefore, not punishing him would mean Song Yun would lose all sympathy for the Bai family!
"How about we confine Bai Haoxue in the forbidden enclosure until your eldest uncle returns to decide what to do?"
Bai Jingbing asked cautiously.
"Whatever, I'm not a member of the Bai family anyway," Song Yun said indifferently.
After the issue was dealt with, Bai Jingbing had Bai Haoxue reflect on his actions in the room, with more than ten servants guarding outside around the clock, forbidding his release without authorization and any visitors.
When this news spread, Bai Jing was stunned. What trouble had her father gotten into?
She rushed to her father's room, wishing to enter, but was forcefully denied.
Bai Jing's heart turned cold, realizing that her second uncle rushing around with Song Yun earlier must be closely related to this incident!
Why did everything turn upside down with the arrival of Song Yun!
Damn it!!!
Bai Jing's heart was suddenly filled with animosity towards Song Yun.
She quietly contacted a member of a Bai family branch, and after they met and discussed some matters, Bai Jing's eyes were filled with anticipation.
...
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing this round of tasks. Due to Qin Bingsheng's death, the completion rate has decreased, resulting in a medium rating!"
"Ding! Rewarding the host with access to the system's shopping mode!"
Song Yun was very excited in his heart, and couldn't wait to open the system's shop. The dazzling array of items left him gobsmacked.
"Blueprint for a photolithography machine? Requires three million credits!"
"Trial of the thousand-year-old martial arts secret, Fiery Flame Palm? Requires one hundred thousand credits!"
All sorts of merchandise flashed before Song Yun's eyes, and at that moment, he really wanted to shout, "Only children make choices; as adults, we want everything!"
But when he saw his credit balance was zero, he calmed down!
Fucking hell, system dad, are you messing with me???
You gave me a mall filled with stuff I want, but I just can't buy anything—this is seriously tickling Song Yun's fancy!
"System, how do I get points?"
"Ding! There are two ways to obtain mall points. First, you can earn a certain amount of points by completing randomly assigned system tasks. Second, there is an exchange mode where one can exchange 10,000 Hua Country currency for one point, with a daily maximum limit of one million Hua Country currency!"
Shit, doesn't that mean if I don't have any tasks to complete, I can only get a hundred points a day???
This is a fucking scam!!!
The cheapest thing in the mall is a painting that hasn't even been appraised, and that itself requires ten thousand points to purchase, something I'd only be able to afford after a hundred days!!!
"Ding! This is a reminder for the host, the mall automatically refreshes every day at dawn. The item you had your eye on yesterday might disappear tomorrow!"
Fuck!!!
Why the hell is it doing this too!!!
Who the hell made these rules! Stand up! Let's see if I can kill you!
"Song Yun, I just called your mother. They plan to stay at the Ouyang Family's place tonight. You're still not fully recovered, so you might as well rest at the Bai Family's home for the evening."
Song Yun was perfectly aware of the little schemes in Bai Jingbing's mind. He was simply worried that if the old Master Bai didn't recover and suddenly passed away, it'd be a disaster!
Song Yun couldn't be bothered to call him out and was also curious about how Bai Weiguo would handle his little brother after getting back home.
"Then I'll listen to Second Uncle."
Bai Jingbing was very pleased to hear those words and personally chose a quiet place for Song Yun to stay.
Come evening time, Bai Weiguo arrived home. He had already learned the whole story from Bai Jingbing.
Bai Weiguo felt both furious and a bit forlorn about this matter.
He was furious because Bai Haoxue's actions almost destabilized the Bai Family's standing, and he was disheartened because he realized that he had indeed made a mistake: Song Yun shouldn't have been flogged.
"Big brother, what do you plan to do with this situation?"
Bai Jingbing asked solemnly, sitting beside Bai Weiguo.
Stay connected with empire
Bai Weiguo opened his mouth but in the end, he just let out a deep sigh.
He knew his third brother far better than Bai Jingbing did. This wasn't the first time Bai Haoxue had done something like this—he'd pulled this sort of stunt four or five times already. In the past, the women involved had always backed off after seeing the sizeable compensation. But this time, an error had crept in!
And it was this minor error that had brought the old Master Bai to the brink of death!
"Summon Song Yun. We should go see Bai Haoxue together."
Outside Bai Haoxue's room, a group of security personnel dutifully stood watch, along with Bai Jing and her son.
As they saw Bai Weiguo and the other two approaching, Bai Haoxue's wife suddenly sat on the ground and began to cry and scream: "You only know how to bully our Haoxue! Every day we have to retreat to the edge, do you really want to push our whole family off a cliff?"
Bai Weiguo felt extremely annoyed by this racket and said coldly to his sobbing but tearless sister-in-law, "Chu Mei, the Bai family owes you nothing! If you keep making a scene, don't blame me for kicking you out!"
Bai Weiguo's words were menacing. At least until the old Master Bai returned, he was the acting patriarch and had all the rights of the head of the family!
Chu Mei stopped crying and scrambled to her feet, heading straight for Song Yun. She berated him relentlessly, having heard from her son that her husband's downfall was all because of Song Yun!
"You little jinx! You bring disaster wherever you go! Why are you still at the Bai family's place? Could it be you're after the Bai family's assets? Let me tell you, my Jing'er is the only male of the new generation! I advise you to drop any clever ideas you have, or else, I swear I won't let you off easily!"
Hearing this, Bai Weiguo felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness wash over him. Yes, in the new generation of the Bai family, there was only one male heir, a prodigal one at that. How odd is that?
