Chapter 324, Period
Li Ze walked out of the underground base and got into the bulletproof off-road vehicle.
The eldest brother drove the car smoothly out of the gate.
Li Ze sat in the back row, slowly turning the string of beads in his hands.
In fact, although Li Ze was ruthless in the business world and showed no mercy to his enemies.
But deep down, he wasn't a truly cold-blooded and ruthless person.
Just now in the room, he shattered Bai Qianyue's illusions with those harsh words, even turning her love for him into hatred.
This is indeed the result he wanted.
Only in this way can Bai Qianyue truly be freed and stop bothering him and his family.
But watching a perfectly normal woman drive herself crazy because of an impossible relationship, and even be locked up in this underground room for the rest of her life, is truly heartbreaking.
Li Ze still felt somewhat guilty.
After all, killing someone is just a matter of beheading them.
Locking someone up until they die is indeed a cruel form of torture.
Moreover, Bai Qianyue has now lost all her power, and the head of the Bai family has been replaced by Bai Zixuan.
She no longer poses any real threat to Li Ze's family.
Since there is no longer any threat, there is no need to keep her locked up until she dies.
After thinking for a while, Li Ze took out his phone and dialed Bai Zixuan's number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello, Mr. Li?"
On the other end of the phone, Bai Zixuan's voice sounded somewhat surprised, yet also respectful.
After all, he was able to become the head of the Bai family and get rid of his uncle Bai Hui, a major threat, entirely thanks to the crucial evidence provided by Li Ze.
Li Ze, holding his phone, said in a very calm tone:
"Bai Zixuan, where are you now?"
Bai Zixuan replied:
"Mr. Li, I am currently in Beijing handling some family matters."
Li Ze nodded and got straight to the point:
"Please arrange your work and come back to see me later."
"I'd like to talk to you about your cousin, Bai Qianyue."
Bai Zixuan was visibly taken aback when he heard the name "Bai Qianyue".
In fact, ever since he became the head of the family, he had been thinking about Bai Qianyue.
No matter what, Bai Qianyue is his cousin and a member of the Bai family.
Although his uncle Bai Hui was ruthless in his actions, Bai Qianyue had treated her cousin quite well in the past.
He actually wanted to bring Bai Qianyue back.
However, he knew Li Ze's temper and his attitude towards Bai Qianyue, so he never dared to speak up.
Now that Li Ze had taken the initiative to bring up the matter, Bai Zixuan's heart immediately felt a glimmer of hope.
He quickly spoke into the phone:
"Okay, Mr. Li. I'll arrange the itinerary immediately, and we should be in America as early as tomorrow."
"Please rest assured, as long as my cousin can be brought back, whatever conditions you propose, I, Bai Zixuan, will accept them without hesitation!"
Li Ze could hear the excitement in Bai Zixuan's tone.
He smiled but didn't say anything more.
"Okay, then contact Lao Yi when you get there. He will arrange for you to come see me."
After hanging up the phone, Li Ze put it back in his pocket.
He leaned back in his seat and let out a long sigh of relief.
The best solution is to hand Bai Qianyue over to Bai Zixuan to take back.
Bai Zixuan was a smart man; he knew how to keep a close eye on Bai Qianyue.
Moreover, Bai Qianyue has completely given up on him now, and after returning to her country, she probably won't want to see him again.
In this way, all the troubles were truly and completely resolved.
……
The next afternoon.
Long Island Estate, America.
Li Ze was sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a report on the upgrade and renovation of the Tai Zi Xuan restaurant.
The old man walked in from outside and respectfully reported to the leader:
"Boss, Bai Zixuan has arrived."
Li Ze put down the documents in his hand and nodded:
"Let him in."
A short while later, Bai Zixuan followed Lao Yi into the living room.
Bai Zixuan was wearing a very formal suit today, and he looked more composed than when they last met.
After all, he is now the head of the Bai family, so his aura is naturally different.
"Mr. Li."
Bai Zixuan walked up to Li Ze and bowed very respectfully.
Li Ze pointed to the sofa opposite him and said with a smile:
"Please sit down, there's no need to be so polite."
Bai Zixuan sat down, his eyes filled with urgency:
"Mr. Li, you mentioned my cousin on the phone..."
Li Ze didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly:
"I called you here today so that you can take Bai Qianyue back."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zixuan's eyes lit up immediately.
He suddenly stood up and said excitedly:
"Really? Mr. Li, you're really willing to let my cousin go back?"
Li Ze waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down:
"Don't get agitated, sit down and let me finish what I have to say."
Bai Zixuan quickly sat up straight again and listened very attentively.
Li Ze looked at him, his tone becoming somewhat serious:
"I'm letting her go back, but there are conditions."
"First, I don't care how your Bai family handles things internally, but from now on, Bai Qianyue is absolutely forbidden from setting foot in Han City again."
"Secondly, she cannot appear before me or my family in any way again. If I find out she's up to anything, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll take care of the entire Bai family too."
Upon hearing these two conditions, Bai Zixuan nodded repeatedly and assured him with absolute certainty:
"Mr. Li, please rest assured! I assure you, this will absolutely not happen!"
"Once I get back, I will immediately arrange for Sister Qianyue to go to Europe to recuperate. I will assign someone to take care of her, and I will absolutely not let her have any more opportunity to disturb your life!"
Li Ze looked at Bai Zixuan's serious expression.
He knew that Bai Zixuan would definitely keep his word.
Li Ze nodded and said:
"Okay, since you've promised, I'll believe you this once."
"Oldest, take him to the base to pick up the people."
The elder stepped forward and gestured for Bai Zixuan to proceed.
"Mr. Bai, this way."
Bai Zixuan stood up and bowed deeply to Li Ze once again:
"Mr. Li, we are deeply grateful. If you ever need anything from the Bai family in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
Li Ze smiled, said nothing, and simply waved his hand.
Bai Zixuan left the manor with Lao Yi.
On the way to the base, Bai Zixuan had very mixed feelings.
He was both happy to be able to bring his cousin back, and worried about her current condition.
After all, someone like Li Ze, who has locked his cousin in an underground base, might use some means to deal with her.
After half an hour.
Bai Zixuan arrived at the underground base.
The first man opened the metal door to that room.
Bai Zixuan took a deep breath and walked into the room.
He originally thought he would see Bai Qianyue tortured beyond recognition.
But when he went inside and saw Bai Qianyue, he was stunned.
The room was very clean and had everything you could need.
Bai Qianyue sat on the sofa. Although she looked a little haggard, there were no marks on her body.
She heard the door open and looked up.
When she saw that it was Bai Zixuan, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
"Zixuan? What are you doing here?"
Bai Qianyue's voice sounded very hoarse.
Bai Zixuan strode up to her, looked at her, and said:
"Sister Qianyue, I've come to take you home."
Bai Qianyue gave a bitter smile when she heard the words "go home".
She shook her head and said:
"Go home? Do I even have a home anymore?"
"I know everything my dad did."
"I have nothing left now. What's the point of going back?"
Bai Zixuan squatted down, looked into Bai Qianyue's eyes, and said very seriously:
"Sister Qianyue, no matter what Uncle did, you will always be a member of the Bai family."
"Grandpa is still in the hospital. You're the one he loves most. He'll be so heartbroken if you don't go back."
"Moreover, Mr. Li has agreed to let you go. As long as you promise not to bother him again, you will regain your freedom."
Upon hearing Li Ze's name, Bai Qianyue's body trembled violently.
A deep resentment flashed in her eyes.
However, when she heard the word "freedom," a slight wavering arose in her heart.
During the time she was imprisoned here, she had to listen to Li Ze's humiliating words every day.
That kind of mental torture was even more unbearable than killing her.
She didn't want to spend her whole life in that dark, sunless underground room.
She wanted to get out; she wanted to leave this place filled with humiliation.
Bai Qianyue gritted her teeth, looked at Bai Zixuan, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Is he really willing to let me go?"
Bai Zixuan nodded vigorously:
"It's true. He didn't mention any conditions, he just told you not to go to Han City again."
Upon hearing this condition, Bai Qianyue couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Hehe, he's really generous."
"He trampled my self-esteem underfoot and tore my heart to shreds. Now he thinks he can just tell me to leave and wipe the slate clean?"
Bai Qianyue stood up and straightened her clothes.
Her eyes turned extremely cold and terrifying.
"Okay, I'll go back with you."
"Since he doesn't want to see me, I will never appear in front of him again."
"I will stay far away from him and never bother him again."
Bai Zixuan sighed inwardly as he looked at Bai Qianyue's appearance.
He knew that although his cousin spoke resolutely, the knot in her heart would probably never be untied in her lifetime.
However, everything will be fine as long as she can leave this place.
"Let's go, Asatsuki-nee. The plane is already waiting for us."
Bai Zixuan led Bai Qianyue out of the room.
The old man stood outside the door, watching them leave without saying a word.
After they walked away.
Lao Yi took out his phone and sent a message to Li Ze:
"Boss, the person has been taken away."
Li Ze quickly replied with a message:
"understood."
Upon seeing this reply, the old man put his phone away.
This matter has finally come to a complete end.
