That night, Bai Xu cooked a sumptuous dinner for his younger brother and lover, and then the two hugged each other under the quilt and chatted purely, spending a pure and harmonious night.
The next day, after eating breakfast made by his brother, Bai Duan finally got out of the sweetness of "Xiao Bie Sheng's newly married" and began to settle old scores.
"I won't talk about the matter of brother leaving without saying goodbye, but since the Zheng family treats you badly and doesn't care about you, why don't you come back and see me and mom and dad?" Bai Duan lay on the dining table, her tone Dissatisfied, "You emailed me, but Mom and Dad haven't heard from you, and they are also very worried about you."
Bai Xu stopped tidying up the dishes, sat down beside him, and pulled Bai Duan into his arms: "Xiao Duan, I can be your brother for six years, grow up with you, and imprint you with the unique My brand, I'm very happy about that. But I can't be your brother forever, you know."
Bai Duan nodded inexplicably: "Of course, we like each other, not only brothers, but also lovers."
"That's right." Bai Xu chuckled, "Same-sex love is not in line with the mainstream of society. If we are still brothers who grew up together, it will be even more difficult—after all, even if we are not related by blood, in most people , including in the eyes of your parents, we are brothers, and brothers falling in love is incest."
Bai Duan was speechless, he pursed his lips, and lowered his head slightly.
"So, I need to get rid of this brother's identity as soon as possible, and the Zheng family just gave me a chance. I left home for four years and didn't contact your parents in order to dilute their concept of 'I am their son', On the contrary, I value my status as 'Zheng Ershao's son' more. Only in this way, my experience of growing up with you for six years will not become an obstacle between us, but will turn into a help." Bai Xu shrugged his shoulders, " After all, apart from your gender, your parents must be more assured of handing you over to someone who understands you, loves you, takes care of you for six years, and knows everything about you, rather than a strange man who pops up out of nowhere."
Bai Duan nodded blankly, accepted Bai Xu's explanation without any resistance, and felt that it made sense—anyway, it was enough for him to leave everything to his brother. Bai Duan believed that Bai Xu would solve it for him All the predicaments will not let him get hurt in the slightest.
Although the question of coming out to his family troubled Bai Duan for three seconds, he quickly cheered up after trusting Bai Xu, and mentioned another matter: "You once said in the email that you replied to Zheng The family wants to settle some grudges, so what's the matter?"
Seeing that Bai Duan regained his energy, Bai Xu also heaved a sigh of relief. He rubbed Bai Duan's head, got up and took the bowls and chopsticks on the dining table into the kitchen to wash, and his tone became casual again: "You said that? That's because I found out , my abduction was not an accident, but someone did it on purpose."
Bai Xu's attitude was relaxed and leisurely, but Bai Duan was taken aback, jumped up and ran to the kitchen door, grabbed the door frame: "Who is it?!"
"Mrs. Zheng Er, my mother in name." Bai Xu replied while washing the dishes.
Bai Duan froze for a moment, and couldn't help frowning.
After coming to the capital, he also learned a lot about Mrs. Zheng Er. Bai Duan doesn't like Mrs. Zheng Er, because she treats Bai Xu very badly, but in his heart, she is a very poor woman. Now the only son is also stupid, and people can't help feeling sympathetic.
However, sympathy belongs to sympathy, but Bai Duan did not question Bai Xu's words: "It's really her?! Then, did she do anything to you?"
"No. Even if there is, it won't be successful." Bai Xu turned his head and smiled slightly, calming Bai Duan's emotions, "I am not a child with no self-protection ability now."
Only then did Bai Duan feel relieved: "How could she do such a thing..."
"It should be because of being stimulated since childhood, so there must be some mental illness." Bai Xu wiped his hands, turned around and walked in front of Bai Duan, and hugged him into his arms. She snatched all the things that belonged to her, planted hidden dangers early on, and continued after marriage. Her husband sowed seeds everywhere, and her illegitimate children bloomed everywhere. She was worried that her son would follow in her footsteps. Going further and further away." Bai Xu's tone was so calm that it was almost indifferent, "A hateful person must have pity, and vice versa, she is indeed worthy of sympathy, but those children who were harmed by her are so innocent."
Bai Duan lay silently in Bai Xu's arms, speechless for a long time. After digesting the news, he raised his head slightly: "She has done a lot of this kind of thing?"
"That's right." Bai Xu took him to the sofa and sat down, "If it's not born, it's designed to be discarded, and if it's born and raised, it's sold far away. Otherwise, with Zheng Ershao's fickleness level How could the Zheng family find me when they were looking for an illegitimate child?"
"Your father, he doesn't even know?" Bai Duan couldn't believe it.
"I think he should know." Bai Xu pulled the fruit plate over and stuffed a grape into Bai Duan's mouth, "It's just that he has legitimate children, so he doesn't care about those illegitimate children. Pet, at any rate, is also a eldest lady from a big family with a deep background. He can't afford to provoke him, and he doesn't dare to provoke him. I didn't find anything—it wasn't until his legitimate son became stupid that he got anxious and brought me back regardless of Mrs. Zheng Er's objection." With a light mock, Bai Xu was full of contempt, "He played too much when he was young. It's too bad, it's too bad, and it's too difficult to create another son now. What's more, there is a tigress at home who is watching and will make a move at any time, so he dare not bet on it."
Bai Duan's expression was complicated, and he didn't know how to evaluate the couple Zheng Ershao. After a while, he decisively turned his attention away and stopped thinking: "So, how do you want to take revenge?"
"How else can I get revenge? Of course I rely on the weapon of the law." Bai Xu smiled half-smile, "I'm a good citizen who abides by the law!"
Bai Duan: "…………………"
—Although her elder brother did not do anything illegal, but for some reason, Bai Duan always felt that his words had zero credibility.
"So, you came back to Zheng's house just to find evidence?" Bai Duan opened her mouth and skillfully accepted Bai Xu's feeding, "Did you find it?"
"It's a bit difficult." Bai Xu sighed, "I didn't expect that there was an Easter egg called Mrs. Zheng, and I thought everyone would be happy if the traffickers were solved. As a result, they were caught by the police prematurely. She has been given years to erase the evidence, and now it is very difficult to find it."
"Then what should we do?" Bai Duan frowned, very worried.
"Don't worry." Bai Xu chuckled, "Although I can't find any previous evidence, I have not lived for nothing in the past four years in Zheng's family. If there is no evidence, then create evidence. Ten years have passed since the incident of the traffickers. The second lady probably forgot about it a long time ago, and it can just lure the snake out of the hole—after all, doing bad things is also addictive, as long as you get benefits and are not caught, you will always take chances next time and take the risk." Looking down With an inexplicable white satin in his eyes, Bai Xu smiled slightly, confident in his chest, "I have already laid the net, and I just need to close the net. If you weren't so anxious to come to the capital to find me, I guess I can finish it soon." Mission, I'm going back to find you - next, I'll treat you to a big show, and when you start school, the show will probably be settled."
Just like what Bai Xu said, three days later, the big drama kicked off without warning, which shocked the upper circles in the capital and even the people of the whole country.
On that day, the police cracked another human trafficking case and arrested dozens of traffickers and trafficked children on the spot. Of course, this is not the most shocking thing. What's more, it also involved a huge scandal in which a wealthy wife contacted traffickers to sell illegitimate children.
One of the abducted children was only three years old and was the illegitimate son of Zheng Ershao in the capital city. His mother rushed to the police station after receiving the police notice, crying loudly while holding her lost and recovered child, looking mad, and even went so far in public Accusing Mrs. Zheng Er is the real culprit behind the scenes.
"I once heard this from a kind person who didn't leave her real identity, but I couldn't believe it! As early as when I was pregnant, I knew that she wanted to harm my child! Thanks to the kind person who reminded me , I hid in the past and gave birth to the child smoothly!" The woman who claimed to be Zheng Ershao's lover said, "Then, I also obeyed the man's instructions and kept watching the child carefully, not daring to let him leave my room. Sight, but unexpectedly, everything is guarded against, but still not guarded!"
Later, the police checked with the criminals. After interrogation, the other party finally confessed that he had indeed received such a contact. The other party sent them money and asked them to go to a certain place to take the child away, but the contact person was Zheng Zheng. The second lady needs further investigation.
This kind of rich family scandal and the process of interrogating and solving the case should belong to the category of confidentiality, but for some reason, it was exposed on the Internet, which immediately caused an uproar in the public opinion.
Afterwards, many netizens delved deeply into this matter with excitement, and they actually found out the incredible news under the guidance of caring people - Zheng Ershao used to have many illegitimate children, but now, they all disappeared inexplicably. It exists, but it also has the experience of being abducted and trafficked, and escaped by relying on itself.
The disappearance of a child may be an accident, but so many children disappear for no reason, but it is horrifying to think about. Many people also linked this matter to the human trafficking case cracked ten years ago. Although the evidence had already been erased, no one believed that this matter had nothing to do with Mrs. Zheng Er.
All of a sudden, the wall fell and everyone pushed, and many women who had maintained a lover relationship with Zheng Ershao came forward one after another, confessing that their children were also abducted, and they either surrendered to the money offensive or were hindered by the opponent's power Threatening, all kept silent on the matter.
These women are not worthy of sympathy, but they also corrected the accusation against Mrs. Zheng from the side. Even if the police failed to obtain evidence this time, Mrs. Zheng's reputation will be completely ruined. The relationship between her and Zheng Ershao is cold, and the child is stupid. It is impossible for the Zheng family to allow her to continue to be their daughter-in-law, and her father also completely gave up on her under the instigation of her stepmother, saying that he does not have such a morally corrupt daughter. .
Old Mr. Zheng didn't pay much attention to his youngest son. He didn't know that he had such a ruthless daughter-in-law until the incident got serious. He was so angry that even though he didn't like those illegitimate children, they belonged to the Zheng family after all. How could blood be so ruined? !
Old Mr. Zheng was so angry that he threw his walking stick on the spot and ordered Zheng Ershao to divorce him, but he didn't expect that the bloody storm of the Zheng family had just begun.
Just when the public's perception of Zheng Ershao and Mrs. Zheng's wife fell below the bottom line, another shocking news broke out, pointing to a series of crimes such as Zheng Ershao's smuggling, tax evasion, and government-business collusion. The state agency immediately intervened in the investigation, with a clear goal, obviously prepared for it long ago, but Mr. Zheng, the only mainstay, couldn't bear such successive blows. After learning the news, he passed out and was immediately sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.
However, in just one week, the once-prosperous Zheng family revealed a building that was about to collapse. Bai Duan, who had been nestling in Bai Xu's apartment, turned her head dumbfounded and looked at the elegant man who was peeling apples for herself. Bai Xu, the whole person is not well.
Bai Xu cut the apple into small pieces, stuffed it into Bai Duan's mouth, and smiled slightly, hiding his achievements and fame.
