Chapter 615: 333 Soft and hard tactics
Bai Zhengyi contacted Zhao Qiankun at an inappropriate ti, just when it happened to be a taboo for Zhao, causing Zhao not to show any face and his dissatisfaction to be thoroughly exposed in his tone. Although Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi appeared respectable and hypocritical, they were actually quite restrained with won, never behaving inappropriately.
At the mont, the two of them were preoccupied with the affairs of the research institute and hadn’t considered what Zhao might be doing at this hour. They regarded Zhao as a suspect, and hearing his impatient voice, they subconsciously believed that Zhao must have had an ace up his sleeve, which is why he dared to be so arrogant in their presence, not even bothering to put on a facade.
As for Zhao’s ace, it was naturally the evidence gathered from the research institute and Dr. Sun about the Bai Family’s experints using living subjects!
Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi felt guilty, so when they heard the impatience in Zhao’s voice, their initial suspicions turned into certainty, and they beca even more convinced that Zhao indeed had incriminating evidence against them. Despite their anger, they did not dare to lash out at Zhao.
Bai Zhengyi’s face twisted into a sowhat ferocious expression, but the words he spoke were still fairly calm, “Mr. Zhao, there shouldn’t be any unrelated people by your side right now?” He was very cautious and didn’t address the main issue directly, choosing to ask a question instead.
Zhao wasn’t a fool; as soon as he heard these words, he knew Bai Zhengyi must have sothing to say. He hesitated for a mont, but then asked Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin to leave. Han Lingxi’s eyes rippled with emotion, and she planted a kiss on his cheek, giving him a “I’ll wait for you” look, before obediently wrapping the towel around herself and getting out of bed to leave.
Cheng Lin didn’t want to move, but after Zhao gave her a glance, she clenched her teeth and reluctantly rose from the bed, wrapping herself in a towel and leaving as well.
The door closed gently with a “click,” and Bai Zhengyi and Bai Yi on the other end could hear it, causing their expressions to change once again—there was soone in Zhao’s room!
At this point, they didn’t bother to consider the identity or gender of the person in Zhao’s room at this hour, all they felt was humiliation and anger! Zhao was actually so rude to them in front of soone else! He was acting far too arrogantly. Did he really think that just because he had that information, the Bai Family would truly be afraid of him?
Bai Yi was about to speak but was silenced by a glare from Bai Zhengyi, gesturing for him to keep quiet. Bai Yi was sowhat unwilling but then saw Bai Zhengyi pointing at the communicator in his hand, and he realized that Bai Zhengyi was afraid that Zhao might hear any of their words through the communicator on the other end!
So, he didn’t say anything else, instead pressing his lips together and listening to what Bai Zhengyi was preparing to say to Zhao.
Once Han Lingxi and Cheng Lin left, Zhao felt uneasy, lying alone on the spacious bed, steeped in loneliness. He felt even more displeased with Bai Zhengyi; what could be so urgent at this ti of the night?
So, his tone was even more impatient, “Family Head Bai, there is no one else here now. If you have sothing to say, just say it.”
Bai Zhengyi was very unsatisfied with Zhao’s attitude, but since the leverage was in Zhao’s hands, even if he was angry, he had to swallow his teeth and stomach the rage. He spoke, “Mr. Zhao, let’s not beat around the bush. The matter at the research institute, it’s your doing, isn’t it?”
The research institute? What research institute?
Stunned by Bai Zhengyi’s question, Zhao quickly pieced things together. It was nearly ten o’clock, and for Bai Zhengyi to initiate contact ant he must be panicking. Could it be the secret research institute orchestrated by Bai Yi that was in trouble? And Bai Zhengyi suspected him of being responsible?
Just as Zhao was about to deny it, he suddenly realized that if it had rely been about him destroying the secret research institute, Bai Zhengyi would be completely furious, possibly even seeking revenge. So why this panic? That’s right, the items from the research institute were not ant to see the light of day! Could it be that Bai Zhengyi thought he had obtained so evidence from inside that could harm the Bai Family?
Zhao smiled at the thought; indeed, he did have evidence against the Bai Family, but the mishap at the secret research institute had nothing to do with him. He had initially planned to let Bai Ye and Bai Yi fight amongst themselves, depleting the strength of the White Wolf rcenary Corps, and after so ti, use the evidence he had to disgrace the Bai Family completely. However, since Bai Zhengyi had co to him willingly, he would be remiss not to take advantage of the situation!
