Chapter 312: Exposed to the World
"No, no, no!" Long shook his head confidently, the sarcasm in his eyes growing even stronger: "Do you think the Bai Family is so easy to infiltrate?"
"Since someone has tried using martial arts against you, there will definitely be someone else using other methods to handle you!"
"The inheritance of a powerful family lies in its foundation, and a single solution is never the method a clan would adopt!"
"If martial arts can’t handle you, then naturally there are other means that can effortlessly take your life, like right now!"
After Long finished speaking, his expression became stern as he snapped his fingers sharply!
As Long finished his action, ten gunmen suddenly flooded into the Bai Family’s living room, which originally only had four people, surrounding Lin Tian from all directions!
"So, they were the ambushed gunmen!" These gunmen were precisely the men in black whom Lin Tian had observed with his X-ray Vision earlier!
The Bai Family indeed is a great clan, their style full of strategies and always ready with a backup plan!
"So now, can you still show off?" Long sneered, thinking that at this moment, Lin Tian was already a fish in a barrel!
No matter how powerful Lin Tian was, how could mere flesh stand against hot weapons - it was nothing but a joke!
As the old saying goes, even the strongest martial arts can’t withstand a knife!
"Hmm..." Lin Tian pursed his lips, truth be told, right now, he really had no other way unless he employed some tactics!
"But, what tactics should I use?"
Thinking about the Bai Family, where Bai Shishi and Bai Tianlong were talking upstairs.
The gunmen pointing their guns at him probably couldn’t shoot.
Otherwise, once fired, Long’s whole plan would be utterly ruined.
Once the shot was fired, it would definitely alert Bai Shishi.
That way, things would get blown out of proportion.
Even the matter of Bai Jiaming’s death might become known to Bai Shishi.
But right now, with so many guns, Lin Tian simply couldn’t think of a better way.
After all, his body wasn’t invulnerable to bullets and knives.
"Ah, Bai Shishi is bound to find out sooner or later, even if today’s matter passes, the Bai Family will not calm down afterward, might as well come clean about everything today!" Thinking of this, Lin Tian was no longer so intimidated.
At least, Bai Jiaming wasn’t killed by his own hand, and Bai Jiaming first posed a threat to Bai Shishi, he just did what had to be done.
He believed Bai Shishi wouldn’t blame him.
"Are guns really that great?" Lin Tian smiled slightly.
He scanned the room and said domineeringly: "If you have the guts, then fire!"
"Kid, you’re really not afraid of death, are you?" Long laughed, "Since you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish!"
But just as he finished his sentence, Lin Tian moved like lightning to appear behind Long, grabbing him by the neck with his right hand and lifting him off the ground.
Long was seen hanging in front of Lin Tian, his entire body suspended in midair, limbs struggling incessantly.
Lin Tian snorted coldly: "Even if I die, I’ll take someone with me!"
For a moment, the scene was at a deadlock, no one knew what to do.
If they really opened fire, Long would die first, not to mention Bai Tianlong’s whole plan would be in ruins, so Long also dared not let them shoot.
Unlike the fiery scene in the courtyard, Bai Shishi, who was following the butler to the study, was naturally unaware of what was happening outside.
"Butler, what did my father want with me?" While going upstairs, Bai Shishi chose to try to probe the butler first.
There was no choice; who knew what her father was urgently summoning her for, so she needed to investigate the situation first.
"Miss, I don’t know either." The butler smiled professionally.
"The master never reveals such matters to me, most of the time he just assigns me tasks to do!"
"Oh..." Bai Shishi nodded thoughtfully. Perhaps others would believe the butler’s words, but Bai Shishi absolutely wouldn’t trust a single word, it’d be a ghost if she did.
The whole Bai Family knew the intimate relationship between the butler and Bai Tianlong, Bai Tianlong would always consult this butler on matters!
Now on a matter as significant as dealing with her, how could Bai Tianlong possibly not discuss it with the butler?
The reason he said he didn’t know was simply because he didn’t intend to tell her at all!
"When I meet him, I’ll deal with whatever comes up as it does!" Bai Shishi made up her mind, she came today to completely resolve the tea house issue once and for all!
Bai Shishi expressed that she was fed up with being continuously schemed against by the Bai Family like this!
She had waited far too long for this moment, and she didn’t want to wait even a minute longer!
"Miss, you may go in." Arriving outside the study, the butler stood at the doorway, refraining from entering, leaving the father and daughter to talk amongst themselves - as an outsider, there was no need to interfere.
Of course, Bai Shishi did not hesitate, the arrow was on the string and had to be released, this situation was exactly what she wanted; she pushed open the door and entered the study, getting straight to the point: "Dad, you called me, what’s the matter?"
"You’re here, sit down." Bai Tianlong still reading the newspaper, looking as if he could never finish reading it, placed the newspaper on the table only after Bai Shishi sat down, and lifted his head.
"Would you like some tea?" Bai Tianlong began, not mentioning at all why he had summoned Bai Shishi to the study.
"Dad, get to the point!" Bai Shishi showed no interest in small talk: "What’s so urgent that you needed me to come?"
Currently, Bai Shishi felt completely out of place and distrustful, thanks to this family.
Now, all Bai Shishi wanted was to resolve this matter as soon as possible and never return to this place!
"Can’t I call you over just to have a heart-to-heart chat?" Bai Tianlong’s expression stiffened, Bai Shishi’s straightforward attitude quite disconcerted him!
Is this how a daughter speaks to her father?
"Since you grew up, we father and daughter have never really sat down to have a good chat, talk about life and recent experiences!"
"Shishi, you’ve grown, but also become more independent and strong-minded!" Bai Tianlong paused here, his face full of melancholy and a hint of helplessness: "As a father, I should feel proud because my daughter has achieved feats even I haven’t accomplished!"
"However, your independence and strength are the greatest tragedy for the Bai Family, alas!"
"The Bai Family’s ancestors have a rule that no matter how many generations pass, the family’s foundation can only be inherited by males!"
"I really want to break this rule for you, I’ve even discussed it with many people, but a family rule is a necessary part of a clan’s existence, it’s absolutely impossible to abandon or amend it lightly, otherwise, it’s akin to forgetting one’s roots and betraying the family!"
"Do you think I want to fight with my daughter like this? Reality is reality, it allows no pretense!" Bai Tianlong’s face was full of helplessness and resentment, speaking passionately!
