Chapter 177: Vertical

Bai Yi and his party drove directly back to the imperial capital after receiving Bai Yan. It was already midnight the next day. As soon as they arrived, they were immediately surrounded by a group of people.
Ten minutes later, after checking by several elders, it was determined that they were all right, and then Bai Yan was finally carried away. As for the group of people who brought Bai Yan back, no one noticed them at all.
Several young people felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. They spent so much time and didn't even say a word of comfort. They all rushed to Bai Yan. Who would feel comfortable in their hearts?
They are also surnamed Bai, and they are not grandsons without a grandfather, but the status gap in Bai's family is too big. Bai Yi ignored their complaints and sent everyone back to rest. He never left and leaned against the car to smoke.
On the way, he was thinking about what happened in Fenglin City, always feeling a little uneasy.
"Xiaoyi, why are you still here?" Bai Yi was in a state of confusion. He suddenly heard someone calling him. As soon as he turned around, he saw Bai Nian carrying a bag standing not far away.
"Brother, are you going out?" Bai Yi threw the cigarette and looked at Bai Nian with a little surprise. It's already past three o'clock in the morning, why go out at this time?
Bai Nian explained with an "um": "It's a little urgent to do something, and it may not be free tomorrow."
Bai Yi nodded clearly, and the old lady asked them to invite all the people who separated. In the past few days, there have been dozens of people. Although there are many people in the family, there are not many who can handle the problem.
Bai Yan doesn't know what's going on now. The big and small things are mostly Bai Yan's younger brother Bai Nianian. He doesn't have much time during the day when he is free.
Although Bai Yi and Bai Nian were only one year old, they were brothers in the next room. They weren't very close, and they couldn't say a few words when they met. However, this time he went to Fenglin to explain to Bai Nian, the question he was holding back in his heart could only be told to Bai Nian.
Seeing Bai Yi hesitated, Bai Nian waved to him as if he wanted to say something, "Let's go, I have something to say on the way, it is not convenient here."
Bai Yi bowed his head and got into the car with him.
The car drove out of Bai's house and drove on the empty road. The street lights were dim and the tall trees on both sides of the road cast twisted shadows. The car was quiet, Bai Nian was sitting in the driving position, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and looking forward indifferently, but Bai Yi leaned against the car window in a daze.
The two lasted for five or six minutes. Bai Nian spoke first, "What happened to Fenglin?"
"Brother, how did you know?"
Bai Nian smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not know that the place was a pit, and everyone would have to sink in. This time he called for Bai Yi to pass by, just to see him calmly knowing to advance and retreat.
But the people in the family didn't understand, they thought he was biased towards Bai Yi, and even his dad had mentioned him several times in secret.
"Go ahead, who did you meet?"
Bai Yi was a little embarrassed: "Do you know that our family has a branch in Fenglin? The old man asked me to pick up the head of the branch before I left. As a result, I ran into a woman in her house. We stopped and threatened us, if you touch Bai Mian, don't even think about picking up Bai Yan."
"Tang Susu."
Bai Nian listened quietly for a while, suddenly a name popped out of his mouth.
"what?"
"That woman is called Tang Susu."
Bai Yi looked blank. He had never heard of the name. Looking at his brother's expression, could it be someone he had known for a long time?
"Did she tell you anything else?" Bai Nian asked again.
"No, nothing else." Bai Yi shook his head.
It was about family secrets, which should have been sealed, but he told outsiders. If people know it, he can't escape punishment, so he knows it himself, and he can't tell it even in white.
In the white year, he didn't say a word and continued to drive.
He parked his car outside an alley and walked on without letting Bai Yi get off.
Although Bai Yi was curious about the person he wanted to meet, he was not stupid enough to follow him. He honestly sat in the car for more than half an hour before seeing Bai Nian come out.
He found that when Bai Nian returned, the package beside him had disappeared. But he didn't say a word, swept his eyes and looked away.
The two drove back to Bai's house, during which no one noticed their departure.
Early the next morning, Bai Yi heard that Bai Yan had woke up. However, he didn't say a word about what happened in Fenglin City, and even the old lady asked about it personally, but he didn't even ask.
In the chamber of the Bai family, Bai Yi stood in the corner and looked at the grandfather who was sitting on the chair of the grandmaster. Although his grandfather was still very old, he still couldn't help but think of Tang Susu's words.
She said: Besides fortune, he wants something else, right?
If a person knows that he has a few days to live, what will he do? Do you care about trivial things?
He doesn't know about others, but his grandfather probably won't.
"Bai Yi."
When Bai Yi was in a daze, people around him suddenly gave him a crutch.
Bai Yi raised his head, turned his head and glanced at the person next to him. The person gave him a look before he realized that the old lady was calling him.
"Grandfather, you call me." Bai Yi took two steps forward, half-casting his eyes, not looking directly at the old man sitting above him.
"Where is the person you want to pick up?"
As expected, my grandfather still remembered Bai Mian, his mouth was bitter, and he bit the bullet and said, "I didn't pick it up."
"Trash!" The old lady raised her voice displeasedly.
Bai Yi stood there with the anger of the old lady and the eyes of a man watching a good show, and he didn't explain why he didn't pick him up. He knew that even if he explained his grandfather, he would not listen.
After all, there is a difference between grandson and grandson.
The old man's patience with Bai Yan never used it for other grandchildren.
"That little girl named Baimian must be brought back, who will go there?" The old lady's sharp eyes scanned down, and finally fell on Bai Nian, "Bai Nian?"
In this family, apart from Bai Yan, only Bai Nian was left barely able to see it. Not surprisingly, he named Bai Nian.
Bai Nian stepped forward, lowered his head and explained softly, "Grandfather, Bai Mian and a friend of mine are a bit involved. It is not convenient for me to go."
The old Bai family's eyelids drooped, and no one could see his displeasure at the moment, "Is that kid from the Shi family again?"
"Yes."
"Zhuzi." The old lady snorted coldly, and instead of forcing Bai Nian, he ordered the matter to the fifth son, Bai Daoxi.
Bai Daoxi's face showed joy, and he nodded in response, intending to leave for Fenglin immediately. He just walked a few steps, didn't even leave the hall, and suddenly heard a loud noise behind him.
