By daytime, there were still four hours left before the solo final.

Xiao Se didn't sleep well.

It wasn't because of nervousness, but because Wang Quan's sudden appearance yesterday seemed to be warning him. He thought too much and couldn't sleep.

But what made him really realize that things were not simple was the sudden visit of Bai Ruohai and Li Jing.

"What do you mean? A photo?" Xiao Se was confused as he held the photo that looked like a family portrait.

"This photo was taken by Bai Yu's adoptive parents in their private home. They have adopted this dog not long ago. Not many people know about it. What I am curious about is why this dog is by your side."

Xiao Se looked at the photo carefully. The smiling Shiba Inu in the photo did look somewhat similar to Xiao Xiao, and the collar hanging around Ta's neck was vaguely marked "303".

"I can help you, but you must tell me the whole story."

After thinking over and over again, Xiao Se was ready to tell the whole story, but before that, he needed to know the causes and consequences of all the incidents.

It was about Bai Yu's adoptive parents, and he decided to participate to the end.

Bai Ruohai sighed and spoke in a voice that sounded like he was ten years older: "Then I'll tell you the causes and consequences of everything. The Bai family started their fortune by gambling..."

…

Encouraging people to gamble is like killing their parents.

At that time, when the Bai family started, they were engaged in this kind of "killing" business.

"Betting?"

"It's a small bet, it won't hurt. If you lose, it's mine."

With the phrase "If I lose, it's mine", the Bai family's small casino lost an unknown amount of money in the early days of its opening.

But soon, the backlash of greed began to gradually fill the empty pockets of the Bai family. One after another, glamorous and decent people walked in, but few walked out with their heads held high. In fact, no one even walked out.

several.

From local small towns to big cities outside, the gambling tables of the Bai family are getting bigger and bigger, and the scope of their involvement is getting wider and wider. From traditional sports to general election betting, there is nothing that cannot be gambled on.

They have made a lot of money and have been in countless situations, but the Bai family has always been able to turn the crisis around and even become bigger and stronger.

Later, the Bai family's vision broadened and they took the pie overseas. It was the period when the Bai family was most powerful. But after going abroad, they knew what real "gambling" was. After experiencing some things,

The Bai family's vitality was severely damaged. They closed down two of them one after another, relied on countless connections, spent countless money on overseas casinos, and fled back to the country.

The plan to go abroad failed, but the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and the Bai family was no longer short of money.

When a wealthy family is not short of profit, they begin to care about "fame". If "gambling" is used as a sign, the reputation will naturally not sound good. More importantly, because of persuading people to gamble, the Bai family's Feng Shui

It seems to have gotten worse. Every year, some members of the Bai family die unexpectedly, or even suffer from infertility.

People with money but no brains are often the most superstitious. They are not afraid of poverty, but they are afraid of death and the end of the world.

Some people chose to leave home because of fear, and some chose to join the army because of shame. Later, a couple came out of the Bai family, and the couple advocated "quitting gambling and entering business." That is, they gradually quit the casino business and turned to

Serious business.

The idea is very good, and it is in line with the ideas of the top management of the Bai family. But it is not easy to implement.

It's like asking a fat man who is used to eating fat and water to suddenly try a light meal. A few meals are fine, but if you eat too much, your appetite will be unstoppable.

As a result, resistance gradually increased, from the initial verbal warning to the subsequent physical threats.

However, the couple still insisted on their opinion, and even won the support of the head of the family, Bai Zhang, and chose to fight to the end.

So, one day, a bizarre car accident turned the birthday night that was supposed to be a joyful celebration into a memorial day for the parents.

At this point, the Bai family's business plan was put on hold. Even Bai Zhang, who was the most supportive of business at the time, got a strange disease and couldn't afford it. The Bai family was in danger overnight. They had no choice but to go back to their old business, but

Today is different from the past. The severe crackdowns from the state have made them afraid to operate physical gambling businesses, and they can only turn to virtual casinos. To this end, they have also roped in a number of second-rate manufacturers, euphemistically calling it: "Together wealth".

…

Bai Ruohai slowly told the story of the Bai family's past and present life. He shook his head as he spoke. As a member of the Bai family, he was also extremely disappointed with the current environment of the Bai family.

Xiao Se listened solemnly and said, "That couple are Bai Yu's adoptive parents, right?"

Bai Ruohai nodded: "Well, they were unable to have children, so they adopted a child and named him Bai Yu."

"So, what can I do?" Xiao Se felt that he could not stay out of the matter.

At this time, Li Jing took over the right to speak: "When I was at the First People's Hospital last year, I treated Mr. Bai Zhang. At that time, he had a period of sobriety. Do you still remember?"

"Remember." Xiao Se nodded. At that time, Bai Zhang said his name was "Zhuang Chun". At that time, he thought Zhuang Chun was just an ordinary mental patient.

"During that period, you were the only one who had contact with him. I need you to try your best to recall what happened that day and the origin of the dog, and then tell me everything, word for word, about any of them.

No detail can be overlooked.”

"Okay." Xiao Se took a deep breath, tried hard to search for the memory fragments of that day, and then repeated them word for word.

…

"Okay, let me take away the dog and the USB flash drive. You can concentrate on the game. I will let you know if there is any progress in the future." After Li Jing collected the information, he and Bai Ruohai prepared to leave.

"Ebi."

"how?"

"I hope this matter will not involve people around me."

"Don't worry." Bai Ruohai patted Xiao Se's shoulder, "I will send someone to keep an eye on your home."

The two left, but left behind a message that doubled Xiao Se's pressure.

He thought that most of everything that happened in the past was a coincidence. Now think about it, how could there be so many coincidences in the world.

There are still two hours left until the DAC solo finals.

Xiao Se was about to get up and go backstage. Suddenly, a question flashed in his mind:

When did he first meet Wang Chongtian?

"The first time..." Xiao Se touched his chin and searched in his mind for the first time he and Wang Chongtian had a conflict.

VG base? No.

cybercafe?

Yes, it's an Internet cafe. At that time, Xiao Yitong happened to be hit by Wang Chongtian's driver, and Xiao Se had a conflict with them at that time...

[So the mistake in delivering the chicken was not a coincidence, right? 】

[Yes, it’s not a coincidence, I had planned it. 】

The big screen also showed an interview with Xiao Se when he advanced to the solo finals.

Not a coincidence...

It was already planned...

etc!

Xiao Se's pupils shrank.

If what happened that day was not a coincidence, then Wang Chongtian's real goal is probably...

Bai Yu.

…

There are two hours until the DAC solo finals, Maplewood University.

"Huh, it's finally done." Bai Yu wiped the sweat from her head. She hurriedly and slowly completed the task of the student union. Xiao Se was playing the finals today and she couldn't miss it.

After handing in the work, I tidied up a little and got ready to go.

The sun is very bright. Let’s take a taxi.

As soon as Bai Yu took out her mobile phone, a black car stopped in front of her.

She thought she was blocking someone else's way and walked away in a hurry.

Wow - the car door opens.

"ah!"

After exclaiming, the car drove away.

A mobile phone fell on the ground and was beeping.
Chapter completed!
