CHAPTER 173: CHAPTER 173: THE BAI FAMILY DOESN’T NEED THIS SUPERPOWER USER!

Ji Ning and Bai Yusen came suddenly and left just as quickly.

Contrarily, it agitated Mrs. Lin, Li Meifang, causing complications in her pregnancy, and the doctor directly advised her to rest in bed for a while.

"Ma’am, please don’t get angry. This child is difficult to conceive, and you can’t afford any mistakes." The old lady urged beside her, but Li Meifang couldn’t swallow the anger.

She said viciously: "That little bastard is still alive. Go investigate everything that happened yesterday. I want to know every detail, especially the full identity of that Ji bastard."

Li Meifang wasn’t completely thoughtless. Ji Ning dared to come with Bai Yusen to threaten her face-to-face; they must be relying on something. She couldn’t act rashly without fully understanding Ji Ning’s identity.

The old lady immediately went out.

Li Meifang frowned, recalling Ji Ning’s contemptuous gaze, feeling a chill rising within her heart for some reason.

She unconsciously touched her abdomen, feeling a dull pain in her stomach.

"Doctor, call the doctor for me!"

***

Bai Family.

Ji Ning and Bai Yusen sat in front of a young man holding a cat.

The man was wearing a gray hoodie and jeans, his demeanor lazy and unruly, forming a stark contrast to Bai Yusen’s seriousness.

"Did you call me here because of the way I asked Bai Xiaotang to stay?"

"Bai Yulin, that is our sister." Bai Yusen spoke with restrained anger, squeezing the words through gritted teeth.

Bai Yulin suddenly raised his head, his eyes extremely cold, "Wrong, she’s your sister, not mine. I’m grateful to your parents for adopting me, but it doesn’t mean I have to give you the same affection."

Bai Yusen took a deep breath; he knew Bai Yulin hated them because their parents died accidentally.

But even so, he couldn’t harm Tangtang.

"If that’s the case, why don’t you leave? Wouldn’t it be better to leave us?"

"I promised your parents to protect your lives, so I must keep my promise, meaning I won’t leave the Bai Family." Bai Yulin stroked the cat’s chin with an extremely calm voice.

But this calmness carried a hint of disdain towards them.

This was the real attitude most superpower users had towards ordinary people; they looked down on them from above, disdaining to mingle with them. However, most of the world’s people were ordinary, and superpower users had to interact with them. Therefore, they relied on ordinary people for livelihood, yet scorned them, creating an awkward way of dealing with things.

Bai Yusen’s fists clenched tightly, his voice sinking even further.

"Alright, I want to know what your purpose was in keeping Tangtang in Beijing. I didn’t give such an order."

Bai Yulin stopped petting the cat, a hint of amusement on his face, "Did you misunderstand something? You are the head of the Bai Family, not my master. Why should I obey you?"

Bai Yusen laughed angrily.

Using the resources of the Bai Family, carrying the Bai Family name, yet refusing to acknowledge the Family Head?

This person was truly shameless!

Bai Yusen never expected Bai Yulin’s thoughts to be so naive and absurd.

Did he think he could do whatever he wanted in the Bai Family just because he was a superpower user?

The Bai Family doesn’t lack him, this superpower user!

"If that’s the case, then you don’t need to use the Bai Family’s resources or bear the Bai surname. You can return to your original surname and leave the Bai Family!"

Bai Yulin’s smile faded slightly, "Are you driving me away?"

"That’s right, I am the Family Head of the Bai Family. Everything within the Bai Family is mine, and the Bai Family members must obey me. Since you don’t recognize me as the Family Head, we can no longer afford a great Buddha like you here. Please seek a better opportunity elsewhere! As for the promise of safeguarding my life, you need not fulfill it anymore. After all, my parents have passed, and you can completely detach from the Bai Family."

Bai Yusen bluntly kicked him out, making Bai Yulin feel very humiliated, his eyes grew colder, and the cat in his hand screeched sharply, struggling out of his grasp and clawing three bloody lines on Bai Yulin’s hand before it ran away.

Bai Yulin’s expression didn’t change, as if he wasn’t afraid of pain, letting the wound bleed with a mocking voice: "An animal is still an animal. No matter how kind you are to it usually, it turns on you once you slightly hurt it."

Bai Yusen remained silent, watching as Bai Yulin’s wound slowly healed while the cat that escaped not far away suddenly gave a shrill cry, having three bloody marks appear on its body.

Bai Yulin’s superpower was quite special; it could transfer pain.

If someone attacked him, he could transfer the pain back to the attacker.

This superpower was very tricky, hard to guard against, so when Bai Yusen received news that Bai Xiaotang was nearly in danger and that Bai Yulin was the mastermind, he didn’t immediately control him.

Bai Yusen glanced at the cat he had raised for years, a feeling of wariness arose within him, as his fingers touched the keys in his pocket.

Bai Yulin glanced at the cat lying on the ground wailing, turned back to Bai Yusen, expressionless, and said, "The head of the Bai Family can be you or not. What do you say?"

Both men stared at each other, the killing intent in their eyes clashing in the air.

"Clap...clap..."

"Bai Yusen, your family has quite a few shameless people too."

The sudden applause made Bai Yulin’s face change utterly, looking sharply at the suddenly appearing girl.

This person was said to be a beggar Bai Xiaotang had brought home, with an unknown background.

At first, he didn’t take her seriously, but after hearing Chang Ru say she might be from the base, he didn’t dare underestimate her anymore.

"Who are you?" Bai Yulin asked knowingly.

Ji Ning smiled, walked over, and sat on the single-seat sofa next to Bai Yusen, looking at Bai Yulin, "Haven’t you seen me through the telescope already?"

Bai Yulin’s expression tightened, fingers unconsciously pinching the hem of his clothes, seeming to evaluate her strength.

Ji Ning mocked Bai Yusen, "I originally thought Bai Xiaotang was the only fool in your Bai Family; didn’t expect you were not that smart either. Didn’t see this white-eyed wolf by your side?"

Bai Yusen was amused by this, a cheerful tone in his voice: "Sorry, it was my misjudgment of character that caused Tangtang to suffer."

"Eating your food, drinking your drinks, yet despising you as big idiots, why keep such an ungrateful thing? Killing it for meat at New Year’s would even be considered a waste because it’s too gamy." Ji Ning’s tone was plain, but her words were infuriating without any regard for the repercussions.

Bai Yulin clenched his fist tightly, his gaze carrying murderous intent.

But the two sitting opposite of him seemed entirely indifferent to his anger, singing along together.

"Hmph... very good... you..."

Suddenly—

A flash of cold light appeared in Bai Yulin’s hand, the blade pointing directly at Ji Ning’s throat, moving so fast. In just a blink, his body had already flown over the coffee table, pouncing toward Ji Ning.

Just as Bai Yusen was about to warn Ji Ning, Bai Yulin’s body seemed to hit an invisible wall in the air, bouncing back with such force it directly smashed into the sofa.

Bai Yulin felt pain for the first time.

Leaving him no time to use his superpower.
