Xia Tian started thinking about running back to his hotel, but now he felt like he lacked the motivation to do so since there would be no wife waiting for him at the hotel."Boss, looking to rent a car...Chapter 1123 Bothers as Stupid as Pigs
"Big Brother, Miss Mu!" This man was Bai Xiaole. As soon as he entered the door, he greeted Xia Tian and Mu Han immediately, and then looked apologetic, saying, "Sorry, Big Brother, I only just found out that you've come to Beijing. I'm a bit late."
"You're already quite quick." Xia Tian said casually, "Have you eaten lunch If not, why don't we eat together"
"Okay, thank you, Big Brother." Bai Xiaole sat down.
"By the way, has your wife given birth yet" Xia Tian recalled that Bai Xiaole's ex-girlfriend Lu Ximei had been almost killed in a hospital. At that time, Lu Ximei was already around seven months pregnant, so she should have given birth by now.
"Yes, it's a boy. Mother and child are safe. The baby is nearly a month old now and has always been healthy. This is all thanks to Big Brother," Bai Xiaole hurriedly replied.
"Oh, no one's trying to harm you recently, right" Xia Tian asked another question.
"On the surface, there hasn't been any trouble." After some thought, Bai Xiaole said, "However, Big Brother might not know that Beijing has changed a lot in recent months. Underneath it all, someone is definitely stirring things up."
"Has the capital changed a lot" Summer was slightly surprised and looked at Mu Han out of the corner of his eye, "Wife, it seems like I haven't noticed any changes!"
"Husband, what Bai Sansao probably meant is actually the change in the power dynamics among various factions in the capital," Mu Han explained softly. "Actually, you're the cause of this change. You've brought down both the Li and Sun families. The original four major families—Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li—are now Zhao, Qian, Song, and Yuan."
"That's right, Brother Summer, Miss Mu is correct. Now, the Zhao family remains the top family in the capital with no change in status. However, following the collapse of both the Li and Sun families, the Qian family has risen to become the second most powerful family. The Song and Yuan families, which were originally among the four minor families, are now ranked third and fourth respectively amongst the new four major families. But some say that the real power lies with the Song family rather than the Qian family." Bai Xiaole started explaining the situation in the capital as well. "Our Bai family still ranks among the four minor families, but the Lin family has been pushed out of this group. Among the current four minor families, three are new entrants. So our Bai family naturally holds the top position within these four minor families."
"Oh, I see," Summer wasn't very interested in this. He casually asked, "Is that fool Yuan Shicai still in the capital"
"He should be there. I saw him at year-end, but whether he's left the capital recently, I don't know." Bai Xiaole thought for a moment before saying, "Brother Summer, if you want to deal with him, I can send someone now to find out where he is."
"No need. It was just an offhand question; that fool isn't worth my time." Summer shook his head. At this moment, the waitstaff started serving dishes, and Summer said, "Let's talk about this later. Let's eat!"
Summer never held back when it came to eating. But halfway through the meal, Mu Han’s phone rang.
Mu Han's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant after she answered her call.
"Husband, I need to head back to the base." Mu Han looked apologetically at Xia Tian, "Or should you go to Yao Yao yourself after a while"
"Alright, then I'll go myself later." Xia Tian nodded. Even though Mu Han didn’t tell him what it was about, he already knew that the idiot called Yi Zhiyan had died.
Or rather, it wasn't Yi Zhiyan who had died, but 113 Number. Originally, 113 Number had been working as a spy for the Dark Team, but now his identity seemed to have been exposed and he was assassinated. Although the Dark Team also followed 113 Number around, they were worried that their presence might expose 113 Number’s current cover so they didn't dare get too close to him, hence no one from the team arrived in time for a rescue.
Of course, even if the Dark Team had managed to arrive in time, there would not have been much point. Now that 113 Number’s identity was exposed and he could no longer be trusted with sensitive information, his death wouldn't cause any sadness within the team. However, Mu Han now had to rethink their plan for tracking down the organization.
"Husband, I'll have to take my leave then." Mu Han kissed Xia Tian on the forehead and left quickly—she was always personally responsible for this matter so she needed to go back herself.
Seeing her leave, Xia Tian felt a little gloomy. Why did there keep being some blind idiots who had to give his wife things to do
Xia Tian finished lunch very quickly and prepared to leave.
"Brother, let me drive you," Bai Xiaolei also rushed over.
"Alright." Xia Tian wasn't being polite either.
The two of them left the private room and stepped out of White Jade Tower, only to see a pair of men and women coming their way. To Xia Tian's surprise, this couple was not unfamiliar to him; they were exactly that top-notch couple he had encountered when having dinner here last time—Yuan Shifeng, the third son of Yuan Family, and his equally outstanding girlfriend Jiang Chen.
"Hey, White Third, how come you know I'm coming today and came to greet me" As soon as Yuan Shifeng saw Bai Xiaolei, he warmly greeted him. However, the tone in which he spoke was rather unpleasant.
"Yuan Third, saying that you have a problem with your brain is actually flattering you, you really don't have any brains at all!" Bai Xiaolei couldn't bear this guy anymore; since Yuan Family made it to the top four families in the capital city, this guy almost came here every day to show off. He had never seen such an outstanding trash person!
"I tell you, White Third, speak politely," Yuan Shifeng's smile immediately disappeared from his face. "Now things are different, when you meet me, it's best if you act as a grandson."
"You don't need to pretend, you're just a damned grandson!" Bai Xiaolei finally couldn't hold back any longer. "Yuan Shifeng, I'm telling you today that your pair of trash people are not welcome in my White Jade Tower anymore, damn it, this is really endless."
"Bai Xiaolei, you have guts!" Yuan Shifeng glared at Bai Xiaolei; now he finally saw Xia Tian and couldn't help but snort coldly. "I see, so you suddenly gained confidence Your backing must be here, right But let me tell you, your support might not necessarily work..."
"Idiot, get out of the way or I'll beat you!" Xia Tian glared at Yuan Shifeng. "Also, aren't you this idiot a dog raised by Zhao Xiaozhuo Your master just left, don't you go to serve your master"
"What did you say" Yuan Shifei glared at Xia Tian.
"Big Brother, you don't know that Little公子 Zhao is no longer interested in him now." Bai Xiaolei said from the side.
"Oh, right. Although Zhao Xiaozhuo doesn't have good taste, what he did this time was correct. A fool like this dog wouldn't be wanted even by me." Xia Tian casually said.
"Xia Tian, you can't go too far!" Yuan Shifei's pale face had turned redder than blood; clearly if it weren't for his knowledge of Xia Tian's fighting ability, he would have attacked him without hesitation.
"Idiot, I'm just speaking the truth." Xia Tian curled up his lip. "Hey, tell you what, why don’t you get lost"
"Xia Tian, don't think we Yuan family still fear you... uh!" Yuan Shifei looked extremely furious but before he could finish his sentence, Xia Tian kicked him away in annoyance.
"Blackie, let's go. Don’t bother with this idiot." Xia Tian wasn't interested in糾纏with people like Yuan Shifei anymore; he wanted to first visit the little imp who had helped him quite a bit and give her some reward.
"Yes, Big Brother." Bai Xiaolei walked over to his car and opened the door for him.
After getting in the car, Bai Xiaolei still couldn’t help but sigh: "It’s really true that one fears not god-like opponents but pig-like brothers. Yuan Shihuang is a big figure in the capital city, yet his two younger brothers are quite disappointing."
"Is Yuan Shihuang the eldest of the Yuan family" Xia Tian asked.
“Yes, Yuan Shihuang is rather low-key, but he’s very capable. He doesn’t seem to have any legitimate career on the surface, but in reality, everyone knows that the person secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes for the Yuan family is him.” Bai Xiaolei explained: "Yuan Shifeng is the most disappointing of the Yuan brothers; not only does he lead a life of leisure without doing anything meaningful, but he often unintentionally leaks out some of the Yuan family’s plans. On the other hand, Yuan Sicai is slightly better—he runs his business relatively well and has made quite a bit of money for the Yuan family."
“Oh, that idiot Yuan Sicai became much more obedient after I beat him up,” Xia Tian casually remarked; since then, Yuan Sicai hadn’t appeared in front of him again.
"Brother, you still need to be somewhat cautious regarding the Yuan family. There are rumors circulating that they recently received help from a mysterious person, but I’m not sure about the specifics and haven’t been able to verify it," Bai Xiaolei said.
“It doesn’t matter; whether it’s a mysterious person or an ordinary one, anyone who dares provoke me will end up dead.” Xia Tian was completely unconcerned about this. "Let's get going now and take me to the Fairy Retreat."
"Yes, Brother." Bai Xiaolei didn’t elaborate further; he still had a lot of faith in Xia Tian’s abilities.
