Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 375 Do you think this life is worth it?

Although Daniel had left Yangcheng, his colleagues at the firm all knew that Nanchun was on good terms with him. Some of them also knew that Daniel was secretly providing Nanchun with controlled substances.

As expected, the higher-ups soon traced the blame to Nanchun. After Director Zhang learned about this, he contacted the police station and said that he was fully responsible for the matter.

One day, Supervisor Zhang called Bai Xun over to inquire about the matter.

"Bai Xun, do you know Daniel, the foreigner who runs a trading company?" Supervisor Zhang asked directly.

Bai Xun replied, "I know him. He has been working with our company for several years."

"Then do you know that your male wife is secretly doing business with Daniel in controlled substances?" Supervisor Zhang asked seriously.

Bai Xun said truthfully, "I know. Supervisor, you also know that a lot has happened to our Bai family in recent years. As the head of the Bai family, I have to take care of so many people in the Bai family. If I want to maintain the Bai family's business and continue to search for the underground fairy palace, I need a lot of funds.

In this situation, if you want to make a lot of money, you can only trade in those scarce materials. As the head of the Bai family, I can't show up in public, so I can only let Nanchun help me do it. If you are talking about the mastermind, I am the one. Nanchun is just acting on my behalf.

Supervisor Zhang sighed and said, "Actually, your Bai family isn't the only one in Yangcheng secretly reselling controlled materials. If it were just for this, I could help you deal with it. But the higher-ups found out that the materials that left Daniel's hands ended up in the hands of the rebels."

Bo Xun was shocked and said hurriedly, "Supervisor, you know me. I am a businessman who only wants to make money. All the supplies our company bought from Daniel were put on the black market.

If you don't believe me, you can ask Master Han Wu. He knows all about those things. On the black market, these things will naturally go to the highest bidder. As for who the buyer is, no one will ask in detail.

Supervisor Zhang took a sip of tea and said, "Of course I believe you, but no matter what, you have to give an explanation to your superiors. Otherwise... hand over that male wife and I'll help you clear your relationship with him."

Bai Xun said awkwardly, "Nanchun has already left Yangcheng. The higher-ups shut down Daniel's business, and I was afraid they'd find out Nanchun was collaborating with him, so I sent him away."

Supervisor Zhang frowned after hearing this. "Alas, you're jumping into a fire pit by doing this. If you send them away, they'll definitely keep a close eye on you."

Bai Xun said anxiously, "Supervisor, I'm going to need your help with this. If I'm being watched, they'll definitely discover the secret of the underground palace. We're almost there, we can't let it go to waste!"

Supervisor Zhang pondered for a moment and said, "It would be great if Han Wu could vouch for you. I will do my best to clear you of the charge of colluding with the man's wife. You can take the charge of reselling controlled substances. The most you'll get is a fine."

Bai Xun hurriedly said, "Thank you, Supervisor!"

Supervisor Zhang smiled and said, "You are also working for our common wish. If we can find the underground immortal palace, we won't have to worry about anything in the future."

"Yes, I think so too. So no matter what, I have to find a way to support the treasure hunting team. After my brother passed away, the Bai family's opium business and jade business were gone. The situation is tense, and the business of the company is becoming increasingly difficult. If we don't do those businesses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sustain..." Bai Xun looked embarrassed.

Supervisor Zhang said, "You should be more cautious in the future and try to find out the identity of the buyer to avoid this kind of misunderstanding from happening again."

"I understand, thank you for your understanding, Governor." Bai Xun said with a smile, "Governor, my people have obtained a very well-preserved Geyao Guaner pot."

"Really?" Supervisor Zhang looked surprised.

"However, you also know that the underground fairy palace is far away in Luncang Mountain, and it will take some time to transport things here." Bai Xun said.

"It's okay. Good things come to you soon. You must tell them to be careful and avoid any bumps or scratches." Supervisor Zhang said.

"Yes, this junior understands."

With Supervisor Zhang and Master Han Wu as guarantors, the Bai family was lightly let off with a small fine for reselling controlled materials.

This business was now considered open, with Supervisor Zhang behind Bai Xun. The fines went into the hands of those people, who, having benefited from it but not wanting to offend Supervisor Zhang, stopped pursuing the Bai family and turned a blind eye to their clandestine dealings.

In this way, it is more convenient to provide supplies to the Fourth Master than before.

But Bo Xun didn't dare to take it lightly. He was afraid that those people would secretly send people to watch him, so he never went to Xinchuanling again. He only told Ah Fu and the others that Nanchun had gone to Xiangcheng with his mother.

In the blink of an eye, it is already deep winter.

Seeing that Bai Xun was uneasy, Ah Fu asked, "Does the master miss the Second Young Madam?"

Bai Xun took the teacup he handed over.

How can I not miss you?

As the New Year was approaching, Nanchun was alone in the mountains.

Bai Xun wanted to go see him very much, but he was afraid that his whereabouts would be exposed and bring disaster to Nanchun and the underground fairy palace.

"How's things going with grandpa?" Bai Xun asked.

"He's already not eating or drinking anything. The doctor said it'll only be a matter of two days."

Bai Xun felt mixed emotions.

"Let's go to Cypress Garden."

For three years, Bai Xun has never come to see Bai Yishui.

The man lying on the bed had a gaunt, sallow face, his eyes half-open, revealing a deep sense of exhaustion and weakness. His body was almost unable to move, and he could only breathe weakly, each breath seeming to exhaust all his strength.

Bai Xun stood at the door and looked at him.

Who would have thought that the man who once had the final say and was tyrannical and arbitrary is now terminally ill and on his last legs.

Perhaps sensing Bai Xun's arrival, a glimmer of light flashed across Bai Yishui's dim eyes, and his hands resting on the bed trembled slightly. He looked at Bai Xun and opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

Bai Xun walked to the bedside and looked at him expressionlessly.

“Grandfather, do you think this life is worth it?”

Bai Yishui was slightly stunned.

"Are you more sober now than before? Do you think it's worth it? For so many years, you have been scheming against your family. You killed your son, daughter-in-law, grandson... and what did you get in return?" Bai Xun asked.

Bai Yishui's face flushed and his chest heaved violently.

"The prosperity of the Bai family? Everyone is going to die. No matter how prosperous our small family is, it will just become meat on the chopping board of others. The situation is turbulent, with internal and external troubles. Even a family like the Sheng family will die or leave. What can my Bai family do?

For the sake of so-called fame and family prosperity, you shattered the Bai family and destroyed their people. I will never forgive you, and I will never act according to your ideas.

By the way, Han Bailing and I are just partners. She has now left the Bai family and gone to where she really wants to go. Nanchun is my only wife, forever. Her name has been included in the Bai family genealogy."
