side; he had worked hard to pursue Shu Jing, but she had been cold towards him. It was only today that Mou Wenjing helped her and managed to get a meeting with Shu Jing, yet now some lucky bastard had...Chapter 552: Bai Xiaolei
"Miss Mu." A somewhat magnetic male baritone voice came from the car. The car door opened, and a burly man got out of the car. This man was wearing a white suit but had extremely dark skin, making him look like he combined black with white. As for whether or not he could cure colds, that remained to be seen.
Seeing this person, Mu Han's eyes flickered with surprise, but before she could say anything, the burly man turned his head towards Xia Tian and smiled while extending his right hand: "Xia Tian, I've heard a lot about you. I am Bai Xiaolei."
This person was quite polite, so Xia Tian also shook hands with him. Then he asked curiously: "You're so dark-skinned, why do you have the surname Bai"
"Uh!" Bai Xiaolei felt a bit awkward at this moment. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it; it’s all genetics."
"Honey, this is Bai Saoshao from one of the Four Minor Families, also known as White Third Young Master. Ren Zhongheng is his subordinate," Mu Han told Xia Tian. Although her voice wasn't loud, Bai Xiaolei could hear it clearly. It seemed like she was merely introducing Bai Xiaolei's identity to Xia Tian, but in fact, she was also telling Bai Xiaolei that she knew all about him.
Xia Tian immediately became unhappy: "Didn't Ren Zhongheng say he doesn’t have a boss How dare he deceive me! I’m going to beat him up!"
"Honey, it's not like Ren Zhongheng intended to deceive you; he just didn’t want to betray this White Third Young Master," Mu Han spoke up in defense of Ren Zhongheng.
"Xia Tian, actually, I’m not exactly Boss Hai’s boss either. Between us, it's more like a cooperative relationship," Bai Xiaolei explained for Ren Zhongheng as well.
Mu Han then added: "Why does White Third Young Master have to be so modest I believe that no matter what you say, Ren Zhongheng will follow your words. Calling you his boss is absolutely true.
"Uh, Miss Mu, you could say it that way, but I really do consider Heng哥 a friend." Bai Xiaolei felt somewhat awkward and thought to himself, This woman is indeed someone who has been through the Dragon Group; she knows everything!
"Third Young Master Bai, there's no need to explain this. Why don't you tell us what you came here for" Mu Han spoke up, believing that Bai Xiaolei must have a reason for appearing here and wouldn't just be saying hello.
Bai Xiaolei couldn't help but breathe a little easier; he was somewhat grateful that Mu Han brought up the topic. He nodded quickly: "Miss Mu, I do indeed have something to discuss with you and Xia Tian, but this isn't the place for it. If you don't mind, could we move somewhere else"
After a brief pause, Bai Xiaolei added, "It's almost noon now. How about I treat both of you to lunch We can talk while we eat."
"Honey, what do you think" Mu Han turned to look at Xia Tian.
Summer thought for a moment and then nodded: "Alright, this guy seems like a decent person. I'll give him some face and let him treat me to a meal."
"Thank you for your kindness, Summer, Miss Mu, please get in the car." Bai Xiaolei was quite pleased when Summer agreed and hurried over to open the car door.
Mu Han smiled gently as she pulled Summer into the car. Fortunately, there weren't many people around who knew Bai Xiaolei; otherwise, they would definitely be shocked to see this scene. The honorable Third Young Master Bai actually acted like a chauffeur—this was simply inconceivable.
Bai Yulou sounded like a person's name but in reality, it was a tea restaurant. This place wasn't famous in the capital city, yet its expenses were extremely expensive; a pot of tea could cost ten thousand yuan, and even a meal would easily run to tens of thousands. To put it simply, this establishment wasn’t meant for ordinary people.
In fact, Bai Yulou was opened by Bai Xiaolei himself. This place had always operated at a loss, and he never expected to make money here in the first place. He usually used this place to entertain special guests. The tea artisans and chefs here were all top-notch, capable of satisfying particularly discerning guests. Of course, there was another reason: it was his own territory, so it was even safer.
Now, Bai Xiaolei is entertaining Xia Tian and Mu Han in a private room here. He personally poured tea for the two of them: "Here you go, Xia Tian, Miss Mu, have some tea first. This is Dahongpao that I bought at an auction recently. They say it's top-tier; let's give it a try."
Xia Tian took a sip and praised it with, "It’s not bad."
Mu Han also slowly sipped her tea. Her understanding of this Third Young Master Bai wasn’t shallow. Longzu Organization basically knew about some forces on the Beijing streets, but as long as these people didn't pose a threat to national security, Longzu usually wouldn’t intervene directly. Understanding their information was just for precautionary measures.
"Miss Mu, you should have heard of the Crown Prince Alliance, right" Bai Xiaolei asked at this moment.
"The Crown Prince Alliance" Mu Han frowned slightly. "Isn't that a clique of self-proclaimed crown prince faction members who are just wasting their time"
"Miss Mu, I used to think that way too," Bai Xiaolei's expression turned rather serious. "Originally, in the capital city, high-ranking officials are everywhere, and所謂的太子黨 (Prince's Party) naturally exists all over as well. However, those真正的太子黨 (real Prince's Party members), they tend to be quite low-key. In recent years, a few unsuccessful fellows and some people who don't even qualify as太子黨的成員 (members of the Prince's Party) got together to form所謂的太子盟 (the so-called Prince's Alliance). These people would occasionally gather for parties but didn’t engage in anything too outrageous, and almost no one paid attention to them. But over the past two weeks, things have changed."
"What kind of change" Mu Han asked.
"Suddenly on the streets of the capital city, there appeared a gang called太子盟 (the Prince's Alliance). This gang claims to accept all commissions—whether it’s murder, arson, theft, or even abducting women; as long as you can pay them enough, they will do anything. Moreover, they issued an ultimatum to the existing gangs in the capital city to submit to太子盟 (the Prince's Alliance)," Bai Xiaolei slowly explained. "Originally, no one really cared about their words and actions, but just a few days ago, they started bloody massacres. Already three small gang bosses have been wiped out by them, and if Miss Mu hadn't happened to arrive that night, Brother Heng’s family would also have suffered the same fate."
"Is there such a thing Is this太子盟 (Prince's Alliance) related to the previous one" Mu Han’s pretty face slightly changed color. After all, the capital city is所謂的龍興之地 (the place under the emperor's feet), even though there are also gangs here, compared to other places, these gangs tend to be more low-key and dare not act too brazenly. But now, with太子盟 (Prince's Alliance)'s outrageous actions, it’s clearly against the規矩 (rules) of the capital city. If this所謂的太子盟 (so-called Prince's Alliance) is indeed related to the one she knew about earlier, then in theory, these people should be aware of this忌諱 (taboo).
"For now, I can't determine it either, but what I know is that the current leader of太子盟 (Prince's Alliance) apparently has a nickname called太子 (Prince)," Bai Xiaolei answered. her heart.Fortunately, Summer was a man of his word; after breakfast, he took out some acupuncture needles to puncture Tiāo tiāo’s hands several times. Then, Tiāo tiāo excitedly felt as though both o...
