Chapter 307 The Truth About Bai Qianyue
America.
A private beach in Hawaii.
The sun was shining brightly, and the sea breeze felt warm and cozy on my skin.
Li Ze was wearing a very comfortable pair of beach shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt on his upper body.
He lay on a beach chair, holding a glass of chilled juice in his hand.
Zhang Ruoran lay down on another chair next to her.
She was wearing sunglasses and covered with a thin bath towel, resting with her eyes closed.
Ever since I came back from seeing that giant dome in Las Vegas.
The two of them flew directly to Hawaii for vacation.
My brother-in-law's family flew back to China yesterday.
So now, there are only the two of them on this huge private beach.
Li Ze took a sip of juice and turned to look at Ruoran.
Looking at Ruoran's very relaxed appearance.
He felt very satisfied inside.
For the past eighteen years, he has been working hard to earn money outside, just so that he could have such a day.
To be able to lie quietly with the person you love most, without having to think about anything or worry about anything.
Just then, Li Ze's phone, which was on the table next to him, suddenly vibrated.
He picked up his phone and glanced at it.
It was a message from Lao Yi.
Li Ze opened the message, and the smile on his face faded slightly.
The first brother wrote in the message:
"Boss, Bai Qianyue says she wants to see you."
Li Ze frowned slightly upon reading this sentence.
He typed a reply on the screen with his finger:
"If she just wants to see me and reminisce about our past, then let her stay inside quietly. I don't have time to listen to her whining."
After sending the message, Li Ze put his phone down.
He has absolutely no patience left for Bai Qianyue.
But a few seconds later, the phone vibrated again.
The first brother replied very quickly:
"Boss, that's not what she meant. She said she wanted to tell you the truth about herself."
"She only wants to tell you about the power behind her and what she has been through in the past eighteen years."
Upon seeing this message, Li Ze's eyes narrowed immediately.
What is the truth about Bai Qianyue?
This is indeed something he has always wanted to know.
He had previously instructed the First Rank to utilize all of his intelligence networks to investigate.
However, the information found was very limited.
All I know is that she has deep connections with high-ranking officials and prominent families in China.
But what exactly is the core strength behind her? Why does she have those guards in Tang suits and that level of special operations team?
All of this crucial information is shrouded in mystery.
Now Bai Qianyue has actually taken the initiative to tell the truth.
Li Ze felt that he couldn't let this opportunity slip by.
He picked up his phone and replied directly:
"Okay, tell her I'll be right there."
After sending the message, Li Ze stood up from the beach chair.
He walked over to Ruoran and gently patted her shoulder.
Ruoran pushed her sunglasses up to her forehead and opened her eyes to look at him.
"What's wrong?"
Li Ze looked at Ruoran and said in a very calm tone:
"If so, I might have to leave for a while. Lao Yi just sent me a message. Bai Qianyue said she wants to tell me about the things behind her."
"This is very important to me, and I have to find out."
Upon hearing Bai Qianyue's name, her expression changed slightly.
But she wasn't angry, nor did she show any dissatisfaction.
After spending this time together, especially after experiencing those things at the Taipei Dome.
Her trust in Li Ze had increased significantly.
She knew that Li Ze's visit to Bai Qianyue was definitely not for any personal reasons.
It was purely to solve a problem.
If she nodded, she would say very reasonably:
"Alright, go ahead then. Business comes first. The sooner we get to the bottom of her messy affairs, the more peaceful things will be for us."
"I'll just sit here in the sun and wait for you to come back."
Li Ze was very happy to hear Ruoran say that.
He lowered his head and very naturally kissed Ruoran on the forehead.
"Okay, I'll be right back after I finish my business."
After saying that, Li Ze turned around and walked out of the beach to change his clothes.
Half an hour later, Li Ze boarded the white Gulfstream private jet.
The plane took off and flew towards the secret base where Bai Qianyue was being held.
……
A few hours later.
Li Ze arrived at the underground base that looked like an abandoned warehouse from the outside.
He passed through layers of security checks and walked to the innermost heavy metal door.
The old man stood outside the door waiting for him.
Upon seeing Li Ze approach, the old man immediately bowed in greeting:
"Boss."
Li Ze nodded, looked at the tightly closed door, and asked:
"How has she been doing inside these past two days? Has she been behaving herself?"
Upon hearing this question, a look of utter helplessness appeared on the old man's usually expressionless face.
The elder replied:
"Boss, actually, when she was first brought in a few days ago, her condition was very bad."
"She would yell and scream in her room every day, throwing things around. Her hair was always disheveled; she had absolutely no normal appearance."
"She even went on a hunger strike to protest, wanting us to let her out."
The old man paused for a moment, then continued:
"But just this morning, after she heard that we were going to report to you that you might come to see her."
"She suddenly changed."
"She immediately demanded that we provide her with hot water for a bath, and also asked us to buy her a set of the most expensive cosmetics and brand new clothes."
"She spent a full three hours getting ready inside."
"She's sitting inside waiting for you now."
Li Ze listened to Lao Yi's report.
He couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
"This woman really doesn't forget to put on an act in front of men even at a time like this."
"They're already prisoners, why are they still doing all this fancy stuff?"
Li Ze didn't say anything more.
He waved his hand at the old man:
"Open the door."
The old man immediately turned around and entered the password on the combination lock next to the door.
A "beep" sound.
The heavy metal door slowly opened.
Li Ze strode into the room.
The room's layout is indeed no different from that of a presidential suite in a five-star hotel.
The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and paintings hung on the walls.
It was very spacious and bright inside.
As soon as Li Ze walked in, the first thing he saw was Bai Qianyue sitting on the sofa.
Bai Qianyue wore a very exquisite black silk dress today.
Her hair was styled in a bun at the back of her head, and her face was covered in perfectly applied makeup.
The lipstick color is very vibrant.
She sat there with her hands on her knees.
She looked very elegant and noble.
If it weren't for the guards standing outside, this place wouldn't look like a place where prisoners are held.
Bai Qianyue saw Li Ze walk in.
A very bright light immediately flashed in her eyes.
She stood up from the sofa.
She looked at Li Ze, her expression showing great excitement.
But she tried hard to control her emotions and make her voice sound calm.
"Brother Li Ze, you're finally here."
Bai Qianyue spoke up.
Li Ze stopped two meters away from her.
He had his hands in the pockets of his casual clothes.
He looked at the meticulously dressed woman in front of him.
His eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a chilling calm.
Li Ze neither responded to her comment nor sat down.
He went straight to the point and asked:
"You said you wanted to tell me the truth about yourself."
"Now I'm here."
"You can start now. What are you going to tell me?"
Bai Qianyue looked at Li Ze's cold and aloof demeanor.
A sense of disappointment flashed through her mind.
But she quickly covered it up.
She walked to the table next to her, picked up a kettle, and poured two glasses of warm water.
Then, she turned around and placed one of the glasses of water on the coffee table opposite the sofa.
Bai Qianyue looked at Li Ze with a very gentle smile on her face.
She said softly:
"Brother Li Ze, don't be in such a hurry."
"Since I've called you here, I'll naturally tell you everything."
"These things have been hidden in my heart for eighteen years."
"I don't want to tell anyone but you."
Bai Qianyue extended her hand, gesturing for him to proceed.
"Come, let's sit down."
"Have some water first. We'll talk slowly."
