âLinlin, why didnât you tell me you were coming?â Knowing that Catherine had come, Bai Yan eagerly went to the main hall. âI wasnât even prepared to welcome you.â
He smiled radiantly. âIâll get Uncle Zhang to cook some good dishes for you later!â
As he spoke, he walked to the opposite side of Catherine and sat down calmly.
âLet Luo Li leave.â She said coldly. âBai Yan, he didnât get along with you, and you kidnapped him and brought him to the Bai family? â
Catherineâs eyes were filled with disgust.
Bai Yanâs smile froze, but he did not stop pouring tea for Catherine.
After a while, Bai Yan started to act.
He pushed the tea in front of Catherine. âLinlin, Iâve not seen Luo Li.
Even if you donât like me, you canât doubt me like this, right?â
Bai Yan was lying through his teeth.
I leaned against the pillar in the main hall and watched Bai Yan act with a blank expression.
Seeing that his face was not red and his heart was not beating fast, he knew he must have done this kind of thing a lot.
âBai Yan, do you think Iâd come to you without evidence?â Catherine was utterly furious.
After making sure that there were no other members of the Bai family around, she whispered, âMy friend told me that he saw with his own eyes that the Bai family kidnapped Luo Li outside the school.
Bai Yan, youâre still playing dumb with me?â
After Catherine said that, Bai Yan did not show any panic.
He remained calm. âWhereâs the evidence? â
Bai Yan smiled. âLinlin, you need evidence to do things. Your friend can lie. You have to show me the proof that my Bai familyâs guards went to capture Luo Li; only then can I admit it.
I, Bai Yan, do like you, but Iâm not stupid enough to take the blame!â
Look, heâs so righteous.
If I werenât in the Bai family right now, I would have been persuaded by Bai Yan.
Catherine choked. She did not expect Bai Yanâs skin to be thicker than a city wall.
The atmosphere was in a deadlock.
âLinlin, do you really like Luo Li?â Bai Yan was the first to break the silence. âHow is he worthy of your love?
Sigh, itâs not impossible if you want to save him.â
âWhat do you want?â Catherine reacted quickly. She knew that Bai Yan wanted to talk business with her.
Bai Yan smiled lecherously. He got up and sat next to Catherine. He put his arm around her shoulders and caressed Catherineâs soft skin.
âIf you accompany me for one night, I will ask my father to show mercy and let Luo Li go.â
I watched from the side, feeling terrified.
Bai Yan was a true warrior.
I could imagine how miserable he would look in a few seconds.
As expected.
Catherine squinted her eyes dangerously. While he was still boasting, she suddenly controlled him and punched his face hard.
âAh!â
After being hit, Bai Yan covered his face with his hands.
I could see blood flowing out of his nose. The strength of Catherineâs fist was evident.
âItâs your own doing.â I thought.
âBai Yan, let go of your dirty thoughts.â Catherine looked at Bai Yan in disdain. âIf you continue to be rude, you will be greeted with more than one punch next time.â
[ Prompt: You have three minutes left to remain invisible. ]
[ You can only use the invisibility skill again ten minutes after the invisibility ends. ]
Just as I was about to continue watching the show, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out.
I raised my eyebrows.
It seemed like I couldnât continue to watch the show.
Thus, I walked out of the Bai residence and hid in the path Catherine would take when she left.
Catherine came here in a hurry, and I couldnât let my business partner worry.
â¦
Not long after I removed my invisibility, Catherine left the Bai family in a huff.
Bai Yan didnât reveal any information about me to her.
âSenior Sister.â I hid in a corner and called out to Catherine softly.
Catherineâs hearing was very sensitive. She stopped when she heard my voice.
She looked back and forth and followed the sound to find me.
âYouâve escaped?â Catherine also quickly came to the hidden corner. âYou didnât even tell me that you escaped. Do you know that I just finished looking for Bai Yan?
You donât know, but Bai Yan almost disgusted me.â
Catherine mentioned Bai Yan with great disdain.
âI saw it.â I admitted frankly, â Bai Yan is indeed a coward. Itâs a long story.â
âYou saw it?â Catherine was a little surprised. Then, she thought of something. âDonât tell me you can turn invisible? â
I nodded. Catherine finally understood.
âI was locked up in a secret room by the Bai family. The guard who came to deliver the food was charmed by me. Now, heâs replacing me in the secret room.
Then I took out the key and hid in the Bai familyâs house. I happened to see you there.
Iâm not going to escape now. Since Bai Yan kidnapped me, he should pay the price.
If he wants my kidney, heâll have to pay the price.â
âBai Yan is a vindictive person,â Catherine exclaimed.
She patted my shoulder again. âSince you want to continue fighting with Bai Yan, I wonât interfere. However, you have to be careful. After all, the Bai family is not ordinary.â
âAlright, I understand.â
The Bai family was a family of martial arts. But Iâm not weak either.
âOh, right.â Thinking of something, I asked, âSenior Sister, next time, you donât have to send someone to follow me in secret.
Iâm strong enough not to be tricked by the Bai family.â
âSo you know about it.â Catherine was helpless. âAfter this, I believe you can successfully deal with Bai Yan.â
âItâs getting late. It would be best if you went back now. Donât be suspected.â
Then, Catherine waved her hand and left in the car.
The car drove away.
I looked at my watch and saw that it had been nine minutes since the invisibility had ended.
I looked up at the Bai family.
âBai Yan, donât be anxious.
Your Grandpa Luo Li will come and play with you.â
â¦
After the cool-down ended, I turned invisible again and returned to the Bai family.
As soon as I entered the Bai family villa, Bai Yan and Bai Ningâer sat in the main hall.
Bai Ningâer was applying medicine for Bai Yan. Even though she was careful, Bai Yan still grimaced in pain.
I almost laughed out loud when I saw that.
âBrother, did Catherine hit you?â Bai Ningâerâs words were filled with hatred.
âItâs fine,â Bai Yan stopped Bai Ningâer from further applying the medicine. âShe hasnât seen my strengths yet and is temporarily bewitched by Luo Li.â
âBrother, when Luo Li completely disappears, sister Catherine will be my sister-in-law.â Bai Ningâer suddenly suggested.
âSince father doesnât want to leave any traces, I can go and beg Luo Li to make that trash soft-hearted and sign the contract.
When Iâm well, Iâll secretly send Luo Li abroad and make him disappear from sister Catherineâs sight!â
What a good trick.
Bai Ningâer was young, but her thoughts were quite profound.
She even knew how to make use of her harmless appearance.
Unfortunately, I already know that she has a black heart.
âAlright.â Bai Yan agreed with Bai Ningâer.
âIâll only ask the guards to send food to Luo Li. You can take it to him.
I donât believe he can watch such a kind little princess suffer.â
Kind little princess?
I almost vomited.
However, Iâll see since Bai Ningâer wants to put on a show for me.
After all, it was a good show, and it would be a waste not to watch it.
