Chapter 15 Bone-deep Hatred

"Boom!"

As Bai Jingming's body crashed to the ground, sniper bullets roared from outside the window once more. The four soldiers were powerless to resist. Facing Bai Jingyan, who had completed his evolution, and Li Tianran, who was not weaker than an evolver, their mere four guns were simply insufficient to reverse the situation.

Bang!

The speed at which an evolver surpassed the limits of the human body allowed them to ignore the distance of a few meters and smash an enemy's head with a single punch before they could even pull the trigger.

A massacre unfolded.

Three seconds later, only three people remained standing in the room.

Bai Jingyan pulled out a cell phone from Bai Jingming's body and dialed the number labeled "Father."

Soon, the call connected, and the stern voice of an old man came through the receiver: "Did you catch him?"

Bai Jingyan laughed, a mocking expression on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint you."

"..." The other end of the line was silent for a long time. The old man seemed to be thinking.

"Jingyan, you are also my son… don't do anything foolish." The old man spoke again, his tone seemingly softening. "Come back with Jingming. Your position and treatment will not change."

Bai's father knew very well that if Bai Jingming's phone had fallen into Bai Jingyan's hands, it naturally meant that Bai Jingming was now under Bai Jingyan's control.

However, what he didn't know was that his most beloved heir had already died.

"It seems only at times like this that I'm your son." Bai Jingyan wore a mocking smile. Then, he said in a very serious tone, "My father, I have some unfortunate news to tell you. The heir you chose, the future controller of the Bai family, Bai Jingming, has just died at my hands."

"..." The old man fell into a terrifying silence.

He didn't say a word. Only increasingly heavy breathing could be heard through the receiver.

One could imagine the terrible storm that was gathering on the other end of the line.

"You… you killed your family…" The old man finally spoke, anger almost drowning him.

"I haven't had a family since I was eight years old." Bai Jingyan revealed a bright smile. "I am now formally informing you, Mr. Bai Changyun, that if you continue to hunt me down, I will donate the serum in my possession to the authorities free of charge."

"Or, I can give it to the Zeus Corporation, the Lion King Consortium. There are many people in this world interested in this serum."

"I've finally figured it out. I'm not a rat eking out a living under the General Corporation's siege. I am a lion with the initiative in my hands."

Bai Jingyan spoke, enunciating each word, "I am now your only son, and the only one entitled to inherit the Bai family. If you want to preserve the last vestige of affection between us, perhaps after you pass away, I will choose to return and inherit the Bai family, and incidentally use my power to continue to make the Bai family prosperous…"

"But if you choose to use all your strength to kill me, this illegitimate son, to avenge your most beloved eldest son, then I will accept it as well! But I can tell you clearly that if I have even a sliver of a chance to survive, I will bring about the ruin of the Bai family, and make every person with the surname Bai… die without a burial ground."

Snap!

After saying these words, Bai Jingyan directly crushed the phone.

Fratricide was originally the most cruel and tragic thing in this world, but Li Tianran had always firmly believed in the saying: Do not advise others to be kind without knowing their suffering.

Compared to what Bai Jingming and the others had done, Bai Jingyan's actions today were not cruel at all.

Watching this scene, Li Tianran actually felt a sense of exhilaration.

Bai Jingyan's cutting off his own escape route caused the last bit of hesitation in Li Tianran's heart to completely disappear.

"Do you think your father will compromise?" Li Tianran asked in a deep voice, "Even the most rational person would go crazy upon hearing that his most beloved son has been killed."

"Heh…" A self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Bai Jingyan's lips. "That's the trouble with being in a high position. Even if he's extremely angry, even if his most beloved person has been killed, he has to calm himself down and consider the pros and cons! He is first and foremost the head of the Bai family, one of the five major shareholders of the General Corporation, and only then is he Bai Jingming's father."

"This identity has given him a lot, but it has also cost him a lot."

"He simply doesn't have the courage to give up everything and overturn the table."

Bai Jingyan's words made Li Tianran think of many things.

Compared to ordinary people, were these big shots living more comfortably, or were they not comfortable enough?

They had gained more materially, but they had lost the freedom of ordinary people. Even anger and revenge could not be vented as they pleased!

How sad!

"In the time to come, the Bai family will focus all their attention on me. They won't pay any more attention to you." Bai Jingyan turned to look at Li Tianran and said, "Bai Jingming is a very selfish person. Even if he got the information that I was hiding in the farm, he wouldn't report it to the General Corporation or the Bai family, because the Ren family and the Lan family are also watching me."

"Bai Jingming wouldn't report the information because he would worry about others stealing his credit."

"Now, as long as we kill everyone Bai Jingming left in Nancheng, the farm… will still be safe and hidden." Bai Jingyan said.

Li Tianran and Bai Jingyan exchanged a look. They had the same idea. None of the people Bai Jingming had brought to Nancheng could be left alive.

Otherwise, the farm would never have peace.

But now, there was still an important problem to solve.

Bai Jingyan and Li Tianran's gazes fell on Ren Xiao at the same time.

Having witnessed everything… what should be done with her?

"Kill her." Bai Jingyan walked toward Ren Xiao, blood still dripping from his fingertips.

In an instant, he had decided Ren Xiao's fate.

He had already killed Bai Jingming, so killing a few more people was not a problem for him at all.

Ren Xiao forced herself to remain calm, but despair slowly surfaced in her eyes.

Slap!

Li Tianran pressed on Bai Jingyan's shoulder, and shook his head after a moment of silence.

"I'm helping you." Bai Jingyan looked at Li Tianran calmly and said.

Bai Jingyan would soon leave Nancheng. Whether Ren Xiao lived or died would have no impact on him, but if Ren Xiao were to reveal what happened today, it would bring a lot of trouble to Li Tianran.

"I believe she will keep today's events a secret." Li Tianran's gaze was sharp, landing on Ren Xiao, "And if it weren't for her, we would be very passive right now. How could we possibly have seized the initiative?"

Ren Xiao had brought Li Tianran here out of goodwill.

If Li Tianran now watched Bai Jingyan kill Ren Xiao without reacting, then he would not deserve to be called a human being.

Although this world was dark and twisted, and Li Tianran could not change the world for the time being, he never wanted to be changed by the world, to become a twisted, filthy maggot!

"Most importantly, Ren's president also has an inescapable connection to Bai Jingming's death today…"

"So I believe that even for her own protection, President Ren will not tell the truth! Right?" Li Tianran turned to look at Ren Xiao, revealing a smile.

Looking at Li Tianran, Ren Xiao suddenly had the feeling that she had accidentally boarded a pirate ship and could not escape.

She felt that she had fallen into a darkness, and could only let Li Tianran tie her up and walk forward…
