Chapter 85: A Secret Move?

Bai Shaofeng lowered his gaze slightly, “Zhao Sihai is a rare talent. If he had stayed in the army for a few more years, he would have definitely been promoted. With the appreciation of his superiors, his path should have been smooth.”

The three of them were stunned, momentarily confused as to why he suddenly said this.

Liao Shiyun, however, reacted quickly. Thinking of something, she suddenly raised her head and looked at him in astonishment, “You did it on purpose? You want to…”

Seeing that his wife had guessed his intentions, Bai Shaofeng’s expression became even more bitter and helpless, he nodded slightly.

“Qiao Qiao can’t wait, and neither can I. Zhao Sihai is my last move. I just hope that day never comes.”

The siblings now understood the meaning behind his words, and their expressions changed instantly.

Bai Juntao unconsciously clenched his fist, “Then, does Zhao Sihai know?”

“He doesn’t know for now. When he needs to know, he will naturally know. But Qiao Qiao’s situation should be gradually escaping their control, so I’m worried that they will soon lose their patience. I have already arranged for more people to be there, no matter what, Qiao Qiao and An An’s safety will be the priority.”

Bai Shaofeng rubbed his temples forcefully.

He had been arranging people there for a while, and it had already attracted the attention of the national security agency. If Zhao Cheng hadn’t helped to suppress it, he might have been put under surveillance.

Now he had to plan for that side while dealing with the national security agency, it was a real headache.

Plus, he had to deal with those “crooks” abroad, he was exhausted to the bone.

The room fell silent again, the three of them looked at each other with complex expressions.

After a while, Bai Ruoyan hesitated, “Will Zhao Sihai agree? After all, this is very dangerous.”

Since he was being used as a trump card by his father, he might face a desperate situation, and he might directly confront them.

Over the past few decades, how many unknown heroes had died at the hands of those spies? For the national security agency to personally take action and remain undercover for five years or even longer, it showed how cunning and dangerous the enemy was.

Although she was a little resentful towards Zhao Sihai, and she felt that he wasn’t worthy of her sister.

But now, he was her sister’s husband after all, what would happen to her sister and her nephew if something happened to him?

Besides, she couldn’t be so selfish as to let someone else die for her. If she could, she would rather be the one to die.

Bai Shaofeng lowered his gaze, letting out a sigh, “It will be up to him in the end, but… he will agree.”

He said it with certainty.

Since his daughter married him, Zhao Sihai had been on his list of observation targets.

Although he was in the Ministry of National Defense and had been isolated because of his involvement in some important projects, he couldn’t keep track of his situation all the time.

But over the past four years, from his words and actions, and from the people around him,

He could basically confirm the man’s personality.

At least, he wouldn’t be a coward who knew his wife and child were in danger but was too scared to help.

On the contrary, he believed that he would choose to fight against the dark forces without hesitation, even if it meant losing his life.

“But I will do my best to ensure his safety. I don’t want Qiao Qiao to be plunged into sadness and despair again.” He added at the end.

The three of them unconsciously pursed their lips.

Bai Juntao couldn’t help but say, “Dad, can you arrange for me to go too? I will be very careful and make sure I don’t reveal my identity.”

Bai Shaofeng gave him a cold look, “Nonsense! The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. Do you think we’re not under the surveillance of those people? I haven’t settled the score with you for sneaking off to Binshi County!”

Bai Juntao’s neck shrank from the scolding, he unconsciously lowered his head.

Thinking about it now, he felt a chill run down his spine.

Thankfully, he had gone there secretly, under a different name. Even though he knew that person wasn’t his sister, he didn’t make a fuss. Otherwise, he would have alerted them, and it might have put his sister in danger.

But he couldn’t just stay at home and wait for news.

Liao Shiyun suddenly pressed down on her son’s arm, who was about to say something, and looked at Bai Shaofeng with a cold face, her eyes flickering with a chilling flame, as if to burn everything.

She gritted her teeth, her voice slow and deliberate, “I can stay out of that, but I won’t let Bai Shaoyang’s family off the hook. I can’t wait to see the day they are sentenced.”

Thinking about all the things Bai Yunyun had taken from them over the past five years, thinking about how that family had gained everything by stepping on her daughter, she felt a wave of nausea.

Her eyes were even colder when she looked at her husband.

Bai Shaofeng pursed his lips, seeing the coldness in his wife’s eyes, he knew she was resenting him.

Bai Ruoyan bit her lip in anger, complaining, “Dad, you shouldn’t have kept it from us. Don’t we deserve to be trusted?”

Bai Shaofeng was speechless. Did he not want to tell them? Of course he did.

But he didn’t have the right, and he was also afraid that they would reveal their tracks because they couldn’t suppress their emotions.

He raised his hand and forcefully pinched his brow, “Find a reasonable excuse, don’t let them suspect anything. Don’t reveal anything about this today, not even outside this door.”

This was a reply to Liao Shiyun, and also a warning to his children.

He wasn’t worried about his wife, she was always rational and self-controlled, good at considering the bigger picture.

But he couldn’t guarantee his son and daughter, they might sneak off again like this time.

He was just a little puzzled, why didn’t Zhao Cheng’s side react when Juntao went to Binshi County?

He would have to ask again later.

Liao Shiyun got up coldly and indifferently, turning her head to look at her daughter, “Since you like being a journalist, it doesn’t matter where you are. The editor-in-chief of the News Office told me that she thinks you’re very capable. What do you think?”

Bai Ruoyan was stunned, then she reacted, her eyes lit up, and a cold gleam appeared in her eyes, “I think it’s great. The News Office is much better than my current newspaper.”

Liao Shiyun nodded, “I’ll ask the editor-in-chief to write you a letter of recommendation, the rest is up to you.”

“Don’t worry, Mom.” Bai Ruoyan smiled.

Their newspaper and the News Office often collaborated, and she had been involved in several projects, she had interacted with the editor-in-chief, and the other party had offered her an olive branch.

But because the News Office was Bai Yunyun’s target, she didn’t want to work in the same unit as her daughter.

So she didn’t plan to go to the News Office.

But now it was different, she not only wanted to go to the News Office, but she also wanted Bai Yunyun to join the News Office.

Then she would watch as she gradually rose through the ranks, and then she would confine her to the grassroots level.

Liao Shiyun nodded, turned to leave, but after taking a step, she turned her head and said coldly, “In two days, I and Yaoyan will argue because you favor Bai Yunyun, and we will go back to Liao’s family to stay for a while.”

After saying that, she strode away.

Bai Shaofeng was stunned, then he jumped up, raised his hand unconsciously wanting to say something.

But when the words reached his lips, he couldn’t say anything, and in the end, he could only let out a wry smile.

Bai Ruoyan watched her mother leave, then looked at her father, who was full of bitterness, she pursed her lips, “I’ll keep an eye on Mom, but you also need to think about how to apologize later. Before my sister comes back… take care of yourself, second brother, take care of Dad.”

After saying that, she also left.Although she knew that this wasn’t his fault, she couldn’t help but be angry and resentful, especially towards her mother.
