Chapter 249: Chapter 248 The Reason for the Bounty

It’s not just men who dislike hearing the word ’small’; women aren’t keen on it either.

Hearing Lu Tianxing call her a little brat, Bai Weiwei pouted, displeased, ”Brother-in-law, what are you saying? Where am I small? Haven’t you experienced it yourself?”

Saying this, Bai Weiwei put her hands on her hips, seemingly trying to prove her point.

”Not small at all, just perfect.”

Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up as he muttered to himself.

Ignoring the way Lu Tianxing’s gaze wandered over her, Bai Weiwei stared at him with a peculiar expression and whispered, ”Brother-in-law, tell me, are you the legendary three-second man?”

”Ah, fuck.”

Struck by Bai Weiwei’s words, Lu Tianxing felt like spitting blood. This year must be his unlucky year; why did every woman think this way about him? Either they suspected he liked men, or they called him a three-second man. Did he really look like that sort of person?

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s rapidly changing face, Bai Weiwei sighed, gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him, ”Brother-in-law, you don’t have to be discouraged. I won’t look down on you. Besides, with medical science so advanced nowadays, it’s definitely not going to be a problem to cure you. And even if it can’t be cured, there’s still IVF, right? You and my sister will surely have a child...”

Bai Weiwei looked at him sympathetically, relentlessly consoling Lu Tianxing, completely oblivious to his increasingly darkening expression.

”Stop!”

Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t take it anymore and cut off Bai Weiwei’s words.

Bai Weiwei blinked, not quite finished, saying, ”Brother-in-law, you don’t need to avoid doctors out of shame. You have to believe in the hospital; they will definitely cure you.”

”I’m not sick; lasting the whole night isn’t an issue for me.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Weiwei with a steely face, feeling insulted by the attack on his abilities.

”Brother-in-law, you don’t need to explain anymore. Sigh, if it comes to it, I’ll accompany you to the hospital tomorrow. We just won’t let grandma and grandpa find out.”

Bai Weiwei patted Lu Tianxing’s shoulder solemnly, sighing with mixed feelings.

”Fuck!”

Unable to hold back, Lu Tianxing cursed, ”Bai Weiwei, I seriously warn you, I’m not sick. Keep spouting nonsense at me, and believe it or not, I’ll make you experience firsthand whether I’m a three-second man or not.”

Bai Weiwei’s pretty face turned red, and she seductively stroked her cheeks, saying softly, ”Brother-in-law, come at me. I’m waiting for you.”

Speechless!

Lu Tianxing was exasperated, dammit. Having a little aunt like this, he didn’t know whether it was a blessing or a curse. She was always tempting him, as if he didn’t dare to lay a finger on her.

”Forget it, you’re not fitting my standards yet. Talk to me when you’ve grown up.”

Lu Tianxing feigned disdain as he glanced over Bai Weiwei’s figure, then changed the subject, ”Weiwei, you came to your sister’s room to see me. Do you need something?”

”Oh, I almost forgot about the important stuff.”

Bai Weiwei slapped her forehead, having an epiphany, ”Grandpa asked me to tell you that you should see him in the study after you get back. With what you’ve done, Brother-in-law, I almost forgot.”

”Then, I’ll be off. You have fun by yourself!”

Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes, what did she mean by saying he almost made her forget, don’t talk in such an ambiguous way, it’s not okay. Dropping a line, Lu Tianxing immediately headed for the study; he was officially scared of Bai Weiwei now.

Watching the back of Lu Tianxing descending the stairs, Bai Weiwei’s eyes flashed with a glint, and she ran back into Bai Zhiqing’s room. Lu Tianxing was sick, she had to plan for her sister, to persuade her brother-in-law to go to the hospital for a check-up, lest it cause discord between the husband and wife later on.

After coming downstairs, Lu Tianxing arrived at the first-floor study, gave a gentle knock on the door, and after hearing an elderly voice from inside, he then pushed the door open and walked in.

Upon entering the study, Lu Tianxing saw the old man of Bai Qiao Mountain sitting leisurely in a Taishi Chair, savoring his tea. The study was nicely decorated, exuding an antique charm, with shelves full of books, some of which were even rare antiques in reprint editions. Stepping into the study, a dense scent of books hit the face, and on the desk, there was a small incense burner from which faint sandalwood smoke was gently rising.

”Grandpa, you’re back. Did you want to see me for something?”

Lu Tianxing didn’t stand on ceremony with Bai Qiao Mountain, simply saying hello, and casually took a seat in the guest chair, lighting a cigarette for himself and then offering one to Bai Qiao Mountain.

”Mm,”

Bai Qiao Mountain nodded, took the cigarette, and Lu Tianxing quickly lit it for the old man.

Bai Qiao Mountain took a puff of the cigarette and said slowly, ”I heard that you and Zhiqing encountered an assassin this afternoon?”

”Yeah, on Rongfu Street. But the assassin is already dead. This was the second time. As far as I know, someone offered a bounty of five hundred million dollars on the assassin website, wanting Zhiqing’s life, which led to the repeated attempts by assassins.”

Lu Tianxing nodded, not planning to lie. The old man had deep military connections and naturally had channels to get this information. There was no need to hide these matters.

”Five hundred million dollars—it seems these people have put in quite the effort for what’s in my possession.”

Bai Qiao Mountain said with a cold smile, looking at Lu Tianxing, ”Tianxing, I suppose you must be very curious by now! Curious about why someone would put a bounty on Zhiqing’s life out of the blue! If I’m not mistaken, these two assassination attempts are just the tip of the iceberg; you must have dealt with quite a few others in secret, right?”

”Grandpa is joking. They were just a few ants, no effort at all. Besides, Zhiqing is my wife. If I don’t protect her, who will?”

Lu Tianxing touched his nose, not choosing to deny it, and at the same time, he was also curious about what could possibly make people willing to pay such a high price to put a bounty on Bai Zhiqing.

”With your word, I’m relieved,”

Bai Qiao Mountain glanced at Lu Tianxing, not offering any thanks, just took another puff of his cigarette and began, ”The reason they put a bounty on Zhiqing is because of an item I have. In other words, they want to use Zhiqing’s life to coerce me into handing over that item.”

”For an item?”

Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, puzzled. An item worth a bounty of five hundred million dollars on a person’s life—weren’t they afraid of coming up empty-handed, that it could all blow up in their faces?

”Ever heard of the Four Symbols Rings? The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Xuanwu, Vermilion Bird—you know of these four divine beasts, right? The Four Symbols Rings are four rings crafted based on their images, and it’s said that gathering all four can unlock the path to outer heaven, enabling one’s every wish to come true, and ruling the world is not beyond reach even outside of China. What I have is one of the Four Symbols Rings, the Xuanwu Ring.”

Bai Qiao Mountain exhaled a thick plume of smoke, slowly revealing a piece of news that shocked Lu Tianxing.
