MTLNOVEL Chapter 587: A scheming man
Even though Old Master Bai didn't want to believe it, he had to believe that there was some conspiracy happening behind the scenes.
"Still, you need to calm down and think things through." Director Feng could understand what Old Master Bai was suffering at the moment. The daughter and granddaughter he raised with his blood, sweat and tears turned out to be a fake. It would be a surprise if Old Master Bai weren't furious.
"You tell me how I am supposed to be calm!?" Old Master Bai asked with an angry look on his face. He glanced at the man beside him and said to Director Feng, "How am I supposed to stay calm? The fact alone that someone stole the life of my daughter and gave it to a fake is enough to make my blood boil."
He bristled angrily and blew out a puff of hot breath. He then said to Director Feng, "I mean. Even if the Bai family has fallen, we still have enough connections to live comfortably in these times, and when I think about how those two women are living a good life while my own daughter and her children are fighting every day to survive—it leaves a bad taste in my mouth."
He glanced at Yan Wanning, who was serving another bowl of porridge to a woman with a child in her arms. She should have grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, and yet here she was serving others. How could Old Master Bai not be angry?
Director Feng noticed that Old Master Bai was simply furious beyond reasoning and pursed his lips in silence. He didn't dare to tell the truth about Yan Wanning's life experience to the man, for he was worried that Old Master Bai would lose his temper once again. He knew that if he told the truth about Yan Wanning being abandoned by Bai Qingshi, Old Master Bai would hunt down the man even if it meant dying in the wake of his ambition.
"I know that you are angry," said Director Feng with a comforting tone. "However, what's the point of losing your temper right now? You can't even do anything."
As soon as Old Master Bai heard the words of his friend, he deflated. That was right; what could he even do in this situation?
Seeing that the old man had stopped making a fuss, Director Feng heaved a sigh of relief. He said to Old Master Bai, "Firstly, you need to look for a way to get a DNA test done, since your daughter is not here; you can do it without anyone messing with the test results."
"What? Do you mean to say that my daughter is someone who will cause trouble?" Old Master Bai questioned. Even though he knew that Bai Ying was not a good woman, he still felt a bit stifled when he heard Director Feng say such a thing. He might not be the one involved in teaching his daughter; his wife had indeed taken care of Bai Ying.
They had done everything to raise her into a kind person.
"You are speaking as if you have no idea what kind of person Miss Ying is?" Director Feng sighed exaggeratedly.
However, as soon as he raised his head and looked at Old Master Bai, who was staring at him with confusion, Director Feng realised that Old Master Bai really didn't know what kind of person Bai Ying truly was.
Director Feng: "...."
He turned his head to the left and called out, "Ah? Are you calling for me? Wait for me—"
Before he could leave, Old Master Bai reached out and clasped hold of his shoulder, and for a frail old man who had not awakened his abilities, Old Master Bai was proving quite strong. Director Feng closed his eyes and tried to shake off Old Master Bai.
"Old Bai let go of me; they need me for something."
"They can survive. First, tell me, what did you mean by your words? What did you mean when you said that she is not the kind of person I think she is? What has she done?"
"Old Bai—I think you need to sit down for this." Realising that he might not be able to shake the man off, Director Feng decided to tell the truth to the poor old man. Since the situation had fallen to this point, what was the point of continuing to be polite now?

On the other hand, Bai Meiyue finished cleaning the water tank and filled it with spiritual water. Though this water had no other benefit other than being a bit more nutritious, Bai Meiyue hoped that with this spiritual water, fewer people would fall sick due to the doomsday virus and get better quickly. It would be much better if they could awaken without turning into zombies.
"Are you done, Boss?" Xiao Wu asked with his eyes straining to look at Bai Meiyue, who was now climbing down the tower with the help of the water hydra. He was quite worried about sending the woman up on the water tank; if something happened, heavens forbid, if she had slipped or fallen, then he would have a hard time. No, in fact, Lei Qian would have killed him.
"I am done." Bai Meiyue wiped the sweat off her forehead and walked over to the car where Xiao Wu was standing. She patted the handkerchief over her face and said to him, "I have connected the water pump to the tank. We can now use the water in the water tank without worry. Of course, it will be better to first fill an empty bucket and clean the plumbing pipes. They must have collected rust and dirt after not being used for more than a month."
Xiao Wu nodded and got into the car. He said to Bai Meiyue, "We should return to the mansion. I am afraid that things might become troublesome if Boss Lei found out that you are missing, Boss."
