As the heir of Tiancheng Enterprise, Bai Xingchen knew very well what the secret recipe of the Bai family's pharmaceutical company meant to the entire Bai family enterprise. If he handed over the secret recipe for Yun Ruhua, Bai Xingchen really could not do it.
To Bai Xingchen, beauty was important, but the Bai family's century-old pharmaceutical industry was even more important.
Bai Xingchen was the heir of the Bai family. Everything he did had to be based on the interests of the Bai family enterprise. If he ignored the interests of the enterprise for a woman, he really could not do it.
"Xingchen, this recipe is the foundation of our Bai family.”Bai Tianyou knew that his son was in a difficult position, but he had to make up his mind.
Since Bai Xingchen was the future head of the Bai family, many decisions were left to Bai You.
Before Bai Xingchen could say anything, Murong Yanyan said,""We can use a counterfeit recipe to trade with the enemy. This is a delaying tactic. As long as we can see Yun Ruhua, we will have a chance to come out even if we don't hand over the recipe.”
Bai Tianyou glanced at his wife, the corners of his lips curling up slightly as he said in disdain,""Do you think the other party is a three-year-old child? Since they dare to do this, I guess they are fully prepared.”
"Tell me, who kidnapped Yun Ruhua? My woman's sixth sense tells me that this murderer must be someone close to our two families. He knows the Bai and Zhou families very well and hates us to the bone.”
Bai Xingchen was suddenly enlightened after hearing her mother's words."My guess is right. It should be Bai Wanqing and the Lian family. The Lian family is the one who is on par with our Bai family. Moreover, our two families have had a grudge for generations. As for the Zhou family, I think it's just a side issue when the Lian family is dealing with us. Bai Wanqing has always hated that she could not enter the Bai family openly and inherit the Bai family's property. She has always been secretly communicating with Lian Haitao.”
" Even if it's really Wanqing and the Lian family, there's nothing we can do without concrete evidence," Bai Tianyou said in a deep voice.
Even though Bai Wanqing was Bai Tianyou's flesh and blood, he did not have any feelings for this illegitimate daughter. This was because he had been set up by someone to get into Bai Wanqing's mother's bed, leaving behind Bai Wanqing as 'evidence.'
At this moment, Zhou Junlin and Yun Liusu arrived at the Bai family.
Zhou Yun and Zhou Junlin had come because they had also received calls from criminals to exchange the Bai family's secret recipe and the Zhou family's Queen Diamond for Yun Ruhua. The Queen Diamond was the Zhou family's ancestral treasure, but to Zhou Junlin, no matter how precious the diamond was, it was not as precious as Ruhua's Anhao.
" Liusu, it's really you. I'm not dreaming, am I? We're finally reunited."”Murong Yanyan immediately hugged Yun Liusu, her eyes wet with tears. The two sisters had not seen each other for more than twenty years, and although things had changed, they were still the same.
"Yanyan, I didn't expect you to still be so elegant after so many years.”
"Liusu, you haven't changed much. You're still as beautiful as ever.”
The two old beauties sized each other up. Seeing that the other's appearance had not changed much due to the passage of time, they could not help but sigh with emotion.
Yun Liusu was also overjoyed to see Murong Yanyan again. However, her mother had just passed away and her daughter was still alive. She didn't have the energy to say goodbye to Murong Yanyan.
"Brother Tianyou, Yanyan, if you still care about our friendship with Jun Lin and me, please save our daughter Yun Ruhua.”Yun Liusu begged the Bai couple with tears in her eyes.
Zhou Junlin, who was sitting next to Yun Liusu, also pleaded with the Bai couple,""Tianyou, Yanyan, I know what the recipe means to the Bai family, but Huahua is my and Liusu's only daughter. As long as you're willing to help, I'm willing to do anything for the Bai family.”
Before the Bai couple could speak, Bai Xingchen, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke,"I will definitely save Huahua, but I don't need the Bai family's secret recipe or the Zhou family's queen diamond."”
Yun Liusu hated Bai Xingchen to the core. She patiently listened to him and snorted."Young man, you're too arrogant. You don't even know who the murderer who kidnapped Huahua is and where she is now. If you don't give me the secret recipe and the Zhou family's queen diamond, how are you going to successfully rescue my daughter?”
Bai Xingchen was the cause of all this. Yun Liusu had the urge to strangle Bai Xingchen to death, but she tried her best to suppress her anger.
Bai Xingchen pretended not to see the hatred that Yun Liusu was throwing at her.
"Please give me three days. I will definitely find Hua Hua's whereabouts and the person who kidnapped her. If I still have nothing after three days, then I promise to use the Bai family's secret recipe in exchange for Hua Hua's safety.”This was the decision Bai Xingchen had made after careful consideration. He only hoped that he could get to the bottom of everything in these three days. This way, he could leave the Yun Dynasty without harming the interests of the Bai family.
Bai Xingchen still wanted to take a gamble. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not use the Bai family's prescription to exchange for Yun Ruhua. Although he needed her, the Bai family's ability to stand firm in the business world depended on this prescription. When it came to choosing between the country and the beauty, Bai Xingchen was still biased towards his country.
Bai Xingchen sent out a portion of her men to continue searching for Ruhua's whereabouts, while the other group was responsible for monitoring the Lian family and Bai Wanqing.
Bai Xingchen used the satellite positioning system to keep an eye on the latest developments of his brothers.
High-tech was a good thing. Bai Xingchen didn't need to go out and just needed a computer to see everything he wanted.
Just as Bai Xingchen was closely monitoring the news sent back by his brothers through the satellite positioning through the computer, there was suddenly a knock on the office door.
"Come in." Bai Xingchen thought that it was her secretary, Snowfall, so she dealt with the person outside without a care.
The door was pushed open very quickly. The sound of high heels hitting the floor broke the silence. Bai Xingchen, who was already upset, became even more upset when she heard the sound." Xuexue, you'd better not wear high heels when you enter my office in the future.”
"Second Brother is really overbearing. You're not even allowed to wear high heels. It's really hard being your secretary.”
The woman's voice made Bai Xingchen's heart tighten. Then, she became unhappy." Bai Wanqing, what are you doing here? I don't welcome you. Please get out.”Bai Xingchen had already hated Bai Wanqing to death, and now that she saw the person she hated the most, she was annoyed.
Even though Bai Xingchen was so rude to her, Bai Wanqing, who was already used to it, did not take it seriously. She locked the door and walked straight to Bai Xingchen.
"Bai Wanqing, what are you doing?”Bai Xingchen did not know why the other party locked the office door. It must be something bad.
Bai Wanqing smiled at her second brother, who had always been cold to her but was so handsome that he had no friends." Second brother, don't be like this. We are biological siblings from different mothers. Second brother is so handsome. If only he was gentler."”
Bai Xingchen coldly glanced at the smiling woman and said," If you have something to say, just say it. I hate people beating around the bush."
" Second Brother is indeed Second Brother. You're really a straightforward person. I didn't come to look for Second Brother today to see your ugly face. I have a deal to make with you, Second Brother," Bai Wanqing said calmly.
"I'm not interested in making a deal with you. You should leave quickly.”Bai Xingchen turned her gaze back to the computer screen and acted as if she was treating Bai Wanqing very slowly.
Seeing Bai Xingchen's attitude, Bai Wanqing raised her eyebrows."Second Brother doesn't even know what kind of deal I want to make with you, and you're rejecting me? Isn't that too arbitrary?"”
Seeing that Bai Wanqing was still unwilling to give up, Bai Xingchen ignored her and continued to do her own thing.
"Second Brother doesn't want to make a deal with me. Could it be that he really wants to use the Bai family's secret recipe and the Zhou family's queen diamond to exchange for Yun Ruhua? The Zhou family's Queen Diamond is one thing, but the Bai family's secret recipe was passed down by our old leader. The reason why Tiancheng Enterprise could become a big company with a lifespan of a hundred years is inseparable from this secret recipe. Second Brother is the heir of the Bai family. If something happens to the secret recipe in Second Brother's hands, I wonder how Second Brother and Father will face our ancestors in the future?”After Bai Wanqing finished speaking, Bai Xingchen could no longer remain calm. He raised his head abruptly, and his sharp eyes pointed at Bai Wanqing, who was smiling slyly.
"What do you mean?”Bai Xingchen stared at Bai Wanqing from above and questioned her word by word. His tone, his face, and his eyes were expressionless. It was so cold that it was as if it had reached absolute zero.
As expected, Bai Wanqing would not visit a temple without a reason. However, the shrewd Bai Xingchen did not know what kind of deal this woman wanted to make with her.
"Second brother, I think you must really want to save your sweetheart safely without taking out the Bai family's ancestral prescription.”Bai Wanqing asked unhurriedly.
Bai Xingchen nodded and said expressionlessly,""I don't believe that you would be so kind as to help me.”
Bai Wanqing smiled." I have never been a good person in Second Brother's heart. However, Second Brother has really misunderstood me. I will not beat around the bush with Second Brother. The deal I want to make with Second Brother is related to Yun Ruhua. As long as Second Brother is willing to cooperate with me, I guarantee that you will be able to get Yun Ruhua unscathed without taking the secret recipe.”
"Yun Ruhua was indeed kidnapped by you. Where is she? Hurry up and hand her over to me, or I'll strangle you.”Bai Xingchen rushed to Bai Wanqing like a madman and grabbed her neck with lightning speed.
Because the man had used too much force, Bai Wanqing almost died.
