Chapter 257 Acting for Heaven
Chapter 257 Acting for Heaven
At this critical moment, the second young master and his wife from the Bai family suddenly arrived at Wei's home. Furthermore, the second young wife herself said that the deceased Wei was her friend, which was explosive news.
The next day, many newspapers reported the incident on their front pages.
For a time, the Bai family was pushed to the forefront.
Nanchun said to Bai Xun guiltily, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive and willful, and I dragged the Bai family down."
Bai Xun said, "Have you forgotten where Miss Wei is from? She is from Baijiazhai, and everyone in Baijiazhai is under the protection of the Bai family."
That should be the case.
But Nanchun knew very well that if it were the head of the family or the eldest son, they would never allow him to get involved in this matter. They might even be glad that the second young lady Wei's surname was Wei, not Bai.
As we were talking, Mr. Chunxiao called.
"Boss Nan, I know you're busy, but isn't Second Young Master Bai back? With him here, you can come out and relax, right?"
Chunxiao meant that only he could go, not Baixun.
Nanchun said, "Okay, I know, I'll be there in a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Nanchun said to Baixun, "Chunxiao asked me to go over. The last time I saw him was when he went to Xiyanlou to listen to an opera, and there was a riot at that time. I haven't had time to talk to him these days."
"Well, come over there, I'm here!" Bai Xun said.
When they arrived at Xiyan Tower, Taohua took Nanchun to the backyard.
"Fourth Master? Why are you back?" Nanchun looked at Sheng Yu'an in surprise.
Sheng Yu'an poured him a cup of tea and said, "Such a big thing has happened. I will feel uneasy if I don't come back."
Nanchun took a sip of tea and said, "You know everything?"
"Well, these bastards are going too far!" Sheng Yu'an said, gritting his teeth.
Nanchun said self-deprecatingly, "Fourth Master, we are at the mercy of others, and we are powerless to do anything! A girl can stand up to those bandits with the determination to die. But we hide in the back, cowering in fear, not daring to take a single step forward."
Sheng Yu'an sighed and said, "Nanchun, I came back because I was afraid you would get stuck in a rut. I know you're furious and you want to rush into the concession right now with a gun."
Nan Chun really wanted to do this, and the anger in his heart was about to burn out his reason.
"If there is a better way to solve it, then don't make unnecessary sacrifices. This is not because you are afraid of death, but because only when you are alive can you do more. Didn't the Second Young Master Bai tell you before that I have been fighting bandits for a while?" Sheng Yu'an looked at him.
Nanchun nodded and said, "Yes."
"I actually went to Xinchuanling." Sheng Yu'an said.
Nanchun asked hurriedly: "My grandfather..."
"He's fine. He said he's found the way to the Underground Palace. Did you know? Before even reaching the real Underground Palace, Old Man Nan brought out dozens of treasures by himself.
"Nanchun, the underground palace is real. There are countless treasures beneath it that you and I need to protect. If we carelessly sacrifice our lives, these treasures will fall into the hands of the Bai family and eventually into the hands of foreigners. If our descendants have to see these treasures only in the hands of foreigners, are you willing to accept this?"
Nanchun clenched his fists.
I'm not willing to accept this! How can I possibly accept this?
"But did she die in vain?" Nan Chun choked.
Sheng Yu'an said, "Her death wouldn't have been in vain. The higher-ups had hoped to settle the situation peacefully, but Miss Wei's death has stirred up new waves. People are teetering on the brink of anger, and just one more push will bring this anger to a climax."
Nanchun's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "What are you going to do?"
"I will ask the newspapers to continue reporting on the tragic deaths of the young man and Miss Wei. At the same time, the murderer is at large and living a luxurious and carefree life. This also needs to be publicized. The comparison between the two sides will have a greater impact on people." Sheng Yu'an said.
"Are you trying to force the people above you to do the opposite?"
"Yes."
"But...what if this doesn't work? What if that foreigner sees the seriousness of the situation and runs back to his country overnight?" Nan Chun said worriedly.
"I have sent people to keep an eye on him. If he wants to run away, kill him. There are many ways to make someone disappear completely." Sheng Yu'an said.
Yes.
Nanchun thought: If the situation gets out of control, no one will pursue the matter if I kill him.
"Nanchun, our purpose is not to exchange our precious lives for a trash life. Our purpose is revenge and to let them taste the humiliation." Sheng Yu'an explained.
Nanchun nodded and said, "Fourth Master, I understand."
Sheng Mansion.
Young Master Sheng looked at the newspaper with a frown on his face.
He could understand Nanchun's passion getting the better of him, but how could a calm and rational man like Second Young Master Bai join in his mischief?
Doesn't he realize how complicated this is?
He thought for a moment and called Nan Chun. "Mr. Nan, at this critical moment, what you're doing is a bit inconsiderate. Now that it's all in the newspapers, those foreigners will think your Bai family is supporting Wei and opposing them."
Nanchun said, "She was my fellow countryman, my friend. Now that she's dead, I can't even go and pay my respects? Aren't the foreigners being too lenient?"
Sheng Zexi sighed, "This matter... has become very complicated, with several parties wrestling with each other. If you rashly get involved like this, it will be very dangerous."
Nanchun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master Sheng, do you have a house by the river in the concession?"
Sheng Zexi was slightly startled: "What... do you want to do?"
Nanchun looked at the falling snow outside the window and said, "If you are willing to help me, I will repay you double in the future."
Sheng Zexi opened his eyes wide, shocked: "Nanchun, are you crazy?"
Nanchun smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't help me. I will think of another way."
Sheng Zexi hurriedly said, "Nanchun, justice isn't easy to come by. Sometimes there's no law or justice here. Do you understand that?"
Nan Chun said calmly, "If there is no law and justice, then I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven."
After that, he hung up the phone.
Sheng Zexi on the other end of the phone frowned.
He often held dances at his house in the concession and invited some celebrities from the political and business circles to attend.
The foreigner who had killed someone in the concession was named Federico, a frequent guest at his dances. He was of noble birth and his influence was not to be underestimated.
Although Sheng Zexi did not like this man's arrogant and unreasonable behavior, he was not someone who could be easily provoked.
The death of a foreigner is a big deal.
What's more, he is a foreigner with a background.
