Chapter 320 This is absolutely impossible!
After Li Ze uttered the name "Bai Hui".
The entire living room fell silent immediately.
Bai Zixuan sat on the sofa, his eyes instantly widening to be bigger than a cow's eyes.
He stared blankly at Li Ze, his face showing complete disbelief.
After a long while, Bai Zixuan suddenly shook his head.
He said loudly and excitedly:
"Mr. Li, you must be joking?"
"That's absolutely impossible!"
"Bai Hui is my uncle! And he's also Qian Yue's biological father!"
Bai Zixuan stood up, paced back and forth in front of the sofa a couple of times, and continued to loudly retort:
"Although our Bai family is large and powerful, there are indeed some open and covert struggles within the family."
"But that was just a power struggle for control of the family business, and a way to make more money."
"No matter how much we fight, we're still family, bound by blood. How could anyone be so cruel?"
The more Bai Zixuan talked, the more he felt that what Li Ze was saying was too outrageous.
He stopped, looked at Li Ze, and very seriously listed his reasons:
"Moreover, my main purpose in coming to America this time is to rescue Sister Asatsuki."
"As Qian Yue's biological father, my uncle should want me to succeed more than anyone else."
"How could he possibly tamper with my plane at this time, trying to blow me up?"
"This doesn't make any logical sense!"
"Mr. Li, are you mistaken? Or are you deliberately trying to sow discord within the Bai family?"
Li Ze sat there quietly and listened to Bai Zixuan's long list of reasons.
He was not angry because of Bai Zixuan's questioning.
He just smiled very easily.
Then, he picked up the teacup on the table and slowly took a sip of tea.
Li Ze put down his teacup, looked at Bai Zixuan, and said in a very calm tone:
"Bai Zixuan, do you think I, Li Ze, need to resort to such a low-level tactic of sowing discord against your Bai family?"
"I already told you, I don't even care about the Bai family's businesses."
"If I really wanted to deal with your Bai family, I could simply use my funds and resources to destroy all your businesses. Why would I bother making up stories for you?"
Li Ze's words were very direct and domineering.
Bai Zixuan was stunned when he heard these words.
He thought about it carefully.
Li Ze is absolutely right.
As the world's richest man, Li Ze possesses absolute power.
If he really wanted to deal with the Bai family, he could have simply crushed them head-on.
There's absolutely no need to resort to such petty tactics of sowing discord.
Li Ze leaned back on the sofa and continued:
Believe it or not, I'm just telling you the truth as I know it.
"As for why your uncle wanted to kill you, the reason is actually very simple."
"Think about it carefully. What if Bai Qianyue can't go back, or you die with Bai Qianyue in America?"
"So, who will become the future head of the Bai family?"
"Your uncle has been the eldest son in the Bai family for so many years, yet he's always been overshadowed by his own daughter. Do you think he feels good about that?"
"Now that Bai Qianyue has disappeared, this is his best chance to reclaim the position of clan leader. And you, of all people, have to run out at this time to play the hero and rescue Bai Qianyue."
"How can he rest easy if you don't die?"
Li Ze's words were like a hammer blow, striking Bai Zixuan's heart hard.
Bai Zixuan's face immediately turned extremely ugly.
He slumped onto the sofa, his mind racing.
Every single one of Li Ze's analyses is perfectly logical.
Moreover, recalling the time spent in the Bai family compound.
When he volunteered to come to America.
His uncle, Bai Hui, stopped him in the corridor and said those words to him.
At the time, Bai Hui was outwardly concerned for his safety and advising him not to come and die.
But now that I think about it carefully...
Bai Hui's words seemed to conceal a very strong sense of obstruction and fear.
What is he afraid of?
Isn't he just afraid that he might actually bring Bai Qianyue back?
Bai Zixuan felt increasingly terrified as he thought about it.
He looked up at Li Ze, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
He knew that what Li Ze said was very likely true.
Bai Zixuan took a deep breath, stood up, and bowed deeply to Li Ze.
"Mr. Li, thank you for telling me this."
"No matter what, I, Bai Zixuan, will remember your life-saving grace."
"Since you, Sister Qianyue, are unwilling to let go, then I will not force you."
"I'm going back to China right now. I need to settle this score properly when I get back."
Li Ze nodded; he did not try to stop him.
He called out towards the door:
"Oldest brother, arrange a plane to send him back."
The old man walked in from outside and answered respectfully:
"Yes, boss."
Then, the old man turned to Bai Zixuan and gestured for him to proceed.
"Mr. Bai, this way please."
Bai Zixuan followed Lao Yi out of the living room and left the Long Island Manor.
Sitting in the car on the way to the airport.
Bai Zixuan watched the scenery rushing past the window, his mind constantly racing.
He pondered repeatedly the name Li Ze had told him.
Bai Hui.
His eldest uncle.
At first, he did think it was absurd and completely impossible.
However, after listening to Li Ze's analysis and considering the events of the past few days...
The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became of Bai Hui.
"My uncle... would he really abandon his own daughter for the position of family head? And even kill his own nephew?"
Bai Zixuan silently asked himself this question.
The answer is obvious.
Faced with immense power and interests, family ties can sometimes be incredibly fragile.
Bai Hui had been suppressed in the Bai family for so many years, and his mind had long since become twisted.
Bai Zixuan clenched his fist.
He knew that he absolutely could not alert the enemy when he returned this time.
He had to secretly gather evidence to find clues that Bai Hui had tampered with the plane.
Only with solid evidence could he expose Bai Hui's true colors in front of his grandfather.
At the same time, he also needs to protect himself.
Because he knew that if Bai Hui discovered that he was not dead and had even returned to the Dragon Kingdom, it would be disastrous.
Bai Hui will definitely try every means to kill him.
