Chapter Four: Father and Daughter
"Mr. Bai."
"...What is it?"
In Bai Yaxin's office, a conversation has just begun.
In this spacious and transparent office, apart from the expensive office equipment and furniture, there is only the figure of Bai Yaxin.
But this conversation is obviously between two people.
As for the other person, at this moment, you can only hear his voice, but you cannot visually capture his presence. Even if you follow the direction of the voice, you still cannot see his figure.
It's like the sound is coming out of thin air.
As the other participant in the conversation, Bai Yaxin shows no signs of discomfort at all. He has become accustomed to communicating with this subordinate in this way - a way that is very comfortable and safe in Bai Yaxin's eyes.
The conversation continues.
"A while ago, you ordered me to take over the surveillance task of Ziong Mingde and Miss Bai Xuyu. Regarding this task, I have something to report."
"Hmm... go ahead."
While answering, Bai Yaxin slowly walks to the luxurious office chair and sits down. His thin figure sinks deep into the chair, and his originally indifferent expression becomes somewhat displeased. It is not clear whether the furrowed brow is because of Ziong Mingde's name or his own daughter.
The reporting side patiently waits until Bai Yaxin is settled before continuing.
"Ziong Mingde's current actions are normal, but Miss Bai Xuyu has not left the Yu family for three days."
"Oh... is that so."
Hearing this, Bai Yaxin's brow immediately relaxes, as if the "Yu family" is a very safe and trustworthy place.
But this kind of perception is only an illusion.
This kind of illusion only applies to ordinary fathers and daughters.
For Bai Yaxin, the reason for relaxing his brow is only because Ziong Mingde hasn't made any moves. As for his own daughter, he doesn't care. As long as she doesn't cause trouble for him, her existence is irrelevant.
Bai Yaxin is well aware of the assassination mission he arranged a few days ago. The assassination targets, Koga Shie and Koga Mizuo, are closely related to Ziong Mingde.
Assassinating the Koga mother and daughter poses additional risks to Bai Yaxin due to Ziong Mingde's presence.
On one hand, he doesn't want this mother and daughter to continue investigating the child abduction case, so he arranged for assassins to handle it. On the other hand, he doesn't want to be on the opposite side of Ziong Mingde. Once Ziong Mingde gets involved in this matter, it means that the difficulties of his subsequent steps will increase exponentially.
Fortunately, Ziong Mingde hasn't made any moves at the moment.
And there are only two days left until the deadline Bai Yaxin set for the assassin "Wolf Spider" to complete the mission.
Bai Yaxin firmly believes that the "Wolf Spider" can perfectly complete the mission. The "Wolf Spider" is the most handy assassin he has used. So far, he has disguised assassinations as accidents or incidents for at least a hundred people.
"Is there anything else to report?"
Bai Yaxin twists his neck, and the aging neck emits creaking sounds.
"No, nothing else."
"You may leave."
"Understood."
With the word "understood," a figure suddenly appears and then disappears behind the door.
Bai Yaxin is used to this. He leans back in his chair, closes his eyes, and starts contemplating his next move in the game.
For Bai Yaxin, the pursuit of life, the pleasures of life, and the meaning of life all come down to the word "ambition."
