Chapter 678: Chapter 678 Really Inhumane
Magic City.
Jiang Xu and An Nuonuo walked out of the airport.
There were more than ten suitcases, carried by the bodyguards.
This trip to Bear Country, they had bought a whole lot of local specialties, most of which were meant to be given away as gifts.
After getting home, An Nuonuo immediately took all the things she’d bought to give them away.
Jiang Xu, seeing that it was still early, decided to visit the headquarters of ‘Blueprint’.
Upon arriving at the company’s entrance, he saw some employees cleaning the walls.
It looked as if someone had splashed paint all over them.
Jiang Xu’s expression darkened slightly as he approached and asked, “What happened?”
“Ah, Mr. Jiang.”
“This is what happened: early this morning when we came in, we saw that the main entrance and the walls on both sides were splattered with paint.”
Jiang Xu, “Have you found out who did this?”
“From the surveillance video, it was done by two men in black masks.
We’ve already filed a report, but there’s no news yet.”
The first person Jiang Xu thought of was Bai Hong sending someone to do it.
After all, there had been recent grievances, and the only one with a motive to do such a pointless thing was him alone.
He went to Bai Xiaoya’s office.
Upon knocking and entering, he saw her with red eyes.
“Ah, when did you get back?” Bai Xiaoya was somewhat taken aback.
She hurriedly tried to find her sunglasses to put on.
Her current appearance was far from attractive.
“Just got back,” Jiang Xu sat down on the sofa, his tone solemn, “Why are you crying? Is it because of the Bai Family?”
“I’m not crying,” Bai Xiaoya stubbornly said, “I stayed up late watching dramas last night and am not feeling energetic today.”
Jiang Xu didn’t bother to poke holes in her poor excuse.
Instead, he asked about the paint vandalism.
Bai Xiaoya composed herself: “I also suspect the Bai Family did it, but there’s no evidence.”
She looked at Jiang Xu.
After hesitating for a while, she still spoke, “Bai Hong called me last night.
He said, if I really wanted to sever ties with him completely, I should give him three hundred million in cash, plus a 10% share of ‘Blueprint’.”
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow, “What did you say?”
“Of course I couldn’t agree,” Bai Xiaoya said helplessly, “He then threatened me, saying without the money, no one would have peace.”
It seemed clear then that the paint was definitely orchestrated by Bai Hong.
This kind of tactic wouldn’t cause any real damage to the company, but it was certainly disgusting.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Xu said, “Call him again, give him one last chance.”
“Okay.”
Bai Xiaoya dialed Bai Hong’s number.
He picked up instantly.
“My good daughter, good afternoon,” Bai Hong’s languid voice came through.
Bai Xiaoya’s face was full of disgust, not wanting to talk to him at all.
“Mr. Bai,” Jiang Xu took the phone, casually pressed the record button, and started, “Let’s talk.”
“Oh, Mr. Jiang is there too,” Bai Hong’s tone improved slightly, “What can I do for you?”
Jiang Xu said bluntly, “Sister Xiaoya is now a valuable asset to me, and I’d appreciate it if you stopped harassing her.
I’ll give you one billion, and in return, you’ll never bother her again.”
Jiang Xu was willing to repeatedly back down entirely because Bai Hong was, after all, Bai Xiaoya’s biological father.
If a more amicable solution were possible, he was somewhat willing to compromise.
“Only one billion!” Bai Hong’s pitch went up, but then as if having a second thought, he said, “Fine.”
Jiang Xu spoke indifferently, “This one billion won’t be given to you right away.
I need you and Wang Li to show up; I’ll invite some journalists and esteemed members of influential families.”
“Before everyone here as witnesses, you promise never to harass Sister Xiaoya again,” he continued.
He wasn’t a fool, obviously he wouldn’t just give the money.
Bai Hong became furious, “That’s impossible, at least 1.5 billion!”
He had indeed been harboring the idea of coaxing Jiang Xu for some money to spend at first.
After all, if he wanted to become the next clan leader, he needed money to manage all aspects.
“Hehe,” Jiang Xu’s voice was cold as frost, “Bai Hong, I ask you one last time, are you insisting on clinging to Bai Xiaoya?”
Bai Hong’s voice also turned cold, “Jiang Xu, I’ll call you Mr. Jiang, but don’t think too highly of yourself.
No matter what, Bai Xiaoya is my biological daughter.
Even if I don’t treat her well, it’s a family matter, and you have no right to interfere!”
Jiang Xu hung up the phone directly.
Looking at Bai Xiaoya, whose mood had soured again, “Sister Xiaoya, if I destroy the Bai family and leave Bai Hong and Wang Li homeless, would you blame me?”
By destruction, he certainly didn’t mean to wipe out the Bai family members but to shatter everything the family had and plunder it away.
Bai Xiaoya looked worried, “Could this cause any trouble for you?”
Jiang Xu laughed, “Even if it does have an effect, it will be a positive one.”
Bai Xiaoya understood.
She bowed deeply to Jiang Xu, “One cannot thank enough for such a great kindness. When you have children, I will give a generous gift.”
“Haha, I thank you on their behalf in advance,” he responded.
Now that he had decided to deal with the Bai family, Jiang Xu no longer hesitated.
The first thing to do was to issue a ‘Proclamation Against Villains.’
Jiang Xu had Bai Xiaoya take out all the evidence she had collected of the Bai family’s misdeeds against her, including recordings.
He would assign someone to organize them and release them alongside the ‘Proclamation Against Villains.’
Bai Xiaoya was also to write a public letter severing all ties with Bai Hong, Wang Li, and the Bai family completely.
Following that, Jiang Xu contacted An Feng and Fu Xinghan again.
This was not their first time handling such matters, and everyone was already well-versed in the process.
Moreover, this time, all circumstances were greatly in their favor.
Failure was absolutely not an option.
An Feng and Fu Xinghan naturally agreed without hesitation.
Then they discussed the specific process.
At the same time, Jiang Xu also did something secretly…
The next morning, the ‘Proclamation Against Villains’ was sent to all major noble families.
The content was as follows:
Proclamation Against Villains
In today’s world of thriving technology and cultural advancement, there still exists those with the hearts of wolves and the lungs of dogs.
We cannot stand idly by and must rise to denounce villains in order to maintain social justice.
…
The proclamation was written at great length, totaling thousands of words, which fully exposed the Bai family’s actions.
Of course, the ‘Proclamation Against Villains’ employed a tad bit of rhetorical embellishment.
But that wasn’t important.
The crucial part was that the content was completely true.
It also came with related photos, audio, and other evidence.
At the same time, Bai Xiaoya publicly posted an article online.
It was unbiased and recounted her experiences in full detail.
From the words, one could feel just how desperate she had been at the time.
This public disclosure immediately caused a huge stir on the internet.
At the same time.
Inside the Bai family.
As the ‘Proclamation Against Villains’ and Bai Xiaoya’s statement were released, the entire Bai family was thrown into chaos.
