The Master's Mask Unveiled Again-Chapter 336 - 335: Sui Yuan Personally Visits the Bai Family
Chapter 336: Chapter 335: Sui Yuan Personally Visits the Bai Family
Images immediately sprang to Ye Jinwen’s mind, and after imagining them for a few seconds, she shuddered with goosebumps and dared not think any further.
The image was too beautiful.
Xiao Qimo looked at the high-voltage fences surrounding the area, alongside signs that read, “Keep Out,” his eyes deep and fathomless.
“If those people were to mobilize again, they would definitely come back here.”
He just hoped that Lu Mian wouldn’t be involved this time.
Xiao Qimo received a message from Sui Yuan, both unsurprised and a bit taken aback.
...
He had given her his personal number before, but he hadn’t expected she would actually contact him.
[Director Qimo, this is Sui Yuan. May I consult you about something? Did Bai Fangfei harm Mianmian again last night?]
With one hand holding his phone, Xiao Qimo quickly typed a reply with his long fingers: [Bai Fangfei gave Lu Mian juice spiked with alcohol and sought out two groups of thugs to take her away—the intent is quite obvious.]
That night, Bureau Chief Guo had cleaned up the aftermath, employing certain methods to retrieve the identities of the assailants and their employer. Six of the assailants were locals from Wucheng, whereas the other ten seemed to have some connection to Jinjing.
The identity of their employer was Bai Fangfei of the Bai Family.
[I understand, thank you, Director Qimo. Could you do me a favor?]
[Please speak.]
——
Shouhao and his brother also received a text message from Sui Yuan, which was quite unexpected. They had exchanged contact information when they formed the “Galaxy Mianmian Protection Squad” together.
However, as the brothers read the text message, they were confused.
[Please don’t tell Mianmian about her switching personalities when she drinks. If she remembers her past, it could be very painful for her…]
Her past?
“…” What could the brothers say?
Although they didn’t understand, it looked serious, and they wondered if something bad had happened to Mianmian when she drank in the past. Was that why she experienced short blackouts after drinking and even fabricated scenarios in her mind?
So, when Lu Mian returned to her seat and asked them again, the brothers said nothing at all.
They even kept silent about her beating up Director Qimo.
Lu Mian: It’s so weird.
——
The Bai Family.
Bai Fangfei didn’t go to class; she shivered and hid at home, too frightened to set foot in school.
Bai Shuren and Bai Shuli were still on the phone, maneuvering everywhere. Yet, they could only watch powerlessly as the Bai Family’s situation went from bad to worse.
But Bai Fangfei had never expected that two uninvited guests would visit the Bai Family that day.
Sui Yuan, and the school’s Dr. Ye.
Sui Yuan had asked for leave to come here. She was always a good student, and Wan Lin had always taken special care of her, agreeing without any hesitation when she requested time off.
Dr. Ye Jinwen brought her to the Bai Family and was quite curious.
“Yuanyuan, what are you doing at the Bai Family? I could have handled this with Director Qimo.”
“Brother Ye, you don’t understand,” Sui Yuan shook her head.
“…”
Feeling a bit awkward being told “you don’t understand” by a girl younger than himself.
“Just follow along with what I say, and you’ll be fine.”
“Hey there, Sister Yuan!” Ye Jinwen obediently lowered his head, acting submissive.
The two of them arrived at the Bai Family’s residence, to the surprise of the Bai family members.
Bai Shuren was the Family Head and showed some respect to Ye Jinwen, but he wasn’t in the mood to entertain guests, his speech laced with hints of ushering them out.
“Mr. Ye’s visit honors our house. The Bai Family would normally welcome you warmly, but we are currently in disarray and don’t have the capacity to entertain guests. I hope Mr. Ye will understand.”
“Family Head Bai is too courteous.” Ye Jinwen looked around the Bai family’s living room. It was desolate, as if they had pawned anything of value. He clicked his tongue inwardly, quite emotional.
Just a few days ago, they were all pomp and splendor. With a mere flick of Seventh Brother’s fingers, they had fallen to this state.
Who asked them to offend Lu Mian?
Due to his status, members of the Bai Family were polite to Ye Jinwen but not as considerate towards Sui Yuan. They didn’t even greet her, let alone offer her a cup of tea.
Sui Yuan sat timidly next to Ye Jinwen, unconcerned with these matters. Thinking of her purpose, she gathered her courage and straightened her back.
Bai Fangfei charged out of her room, and upon seeing Sui Yuan, she wished she could tear her to pieces.
“Why are you here? To laugh at my misfortune?”
She certainly remembered Sui Yuan, having once captured a photo of her with Lu Mian. The relationship between these two was clearly out of the ordinary.
Moreover, during the signing with Ya Qing, this girl had also accompanied Lu Mian.
Now she must be here to mock her on behalf of Lu Mian.
Sui Yuan stayed silent, but Ye Jinwen was quite defensive on her behalf. His gaze swept over coldly, and his authoritative demeanor rose.
Bai Shuren quickly subdued his daughter, signaling her not to be impulsive.
Bai Shuli glared coldly at Sui Yuan. He had no fondness for friends of Lu Mian anyway.
Ye Jinwen smiled, “I’ve come today to discuss a few matters with Family Head Bai.”
“Please speak.”
“The state to which the Bai Family has fallen, honestly, is completely self-inflicted.”
“Mr. Ye, one should be reasonable, right?” Bai Shuli immediately disagreed, standing up at once.
“When we signed the contract with Ya Qing, Lu Mian wanted to go upstairs to see Ya Qing, but we refused her to ensure Ya Qing’s safety. Was that wrong? She then went around and sabotaged our cooperation with Ya Qing, is that our fault too? Just because she is Cang Xue, does it mean she needs not be reasonable?”
The fact that Lu Mian was Cang Xue was no longer a secret; Bai Fangfei had told her family everything.
As a result, the Bai Family despised Lu Mian even more, thinking that she was obstructing them out of personal vendetta.
Ye Jinwen stroked his chin, not immediately considering his words but simply remarked, “That’s because someone didn’t tell the truth!”
His gaze lightly fell on Bai Fangfei. When his baby face wasn’t smiling, it was quite serious, making Bai Fangfei shiver.
Bai Fangfei struggled to calm her nerves.
They couldn’t have come to expose her, could they?
Remembering that Sui Yuan was also present at the time, her gaze flickered, and she preemptively said, “Our family has already fallen to this state, aren’t you going to let it go? Does Lu Mian want to drive us to extinction? Is she going to say that I deliberately smeared her name and made things difficult for her?”
She took the offensive, rushing to Bai Shuren’s side, and began crying.
“Dad, Uncles, you have to believe me. I’ve done so much for the Bai Family these days!”
“Indeed, we’ve seen it.”
“Sit down, both dad and your uncles believe you!”

The elders were protecting her, and Bai Fangfei felt reassured.
Sui Yuan bit her lip. She wasn’t good at sweet-talking or making threats. Just being there to face these people had taken a lot of courage. After struggling for a while, she finally said, “Mr. Bai, why not call Ya Qing and ask what happened?”
“Right, just ask Ya Qing directly and you will know what happened!” Ye Jinwen followed up on Sui Yuan’s suggestion.
