C679 Three Mountains

Liu Jingtian had finally returned, but from the moment he entered the crowd's line of sight, everyone could see that all of his energy was gone, as if he was a walking corpse. No one knew what he was thinking, but after entering the room, he was tripped by a chair in the room and almost fell to the ground.

"Kid, what happened to you? Did you lose your soul?" For the Dao Lord to help you recruit souls and lead you out to do something fun, that would be unbearable even if you didn't mind reprimanding yourself! " Seeing Liu Jingtian's expression, Zhang SanKui chuckled and said.

Liu Jingtian weakly waved his hand and whispered, "Don't mess around, crazy master. I don't have any thoughts right now."

Seeing Liu Jingtian in this state, Zhang Sanming couldn't help but be surprised. He had never felt uneasy before, and he loved to join in the fun. Now that he was trying to seduce Ye Xiao, he was actually unmoved by it. Maybe something had really happened.

"Old Cousin, what happened at home?" From the moment he saw Liu Jingtian's dazed look, Lin Bai had been mumbling to himself in his heart. Moreover, when he thought of the phone call he had received, his heart was pounding like fifteen buckets of water. To tell the truth, he was truly afraid that the situation would turn out as he thought.

Liu Jingtian slowly raised his head, tears were actually glistening in his eyes. After a long silence, he choked up and whispered, "Lin Bai, our Old Liu Family has collapsed!"

The moment he said that, everyone present was shocked! Ever since Lin Bai had returned to the Liu Family, the Liu Family had started a series of big movements. Moreover, they even made a marriage alliance with the He Family, who was in control of the political scene in China, and the Liu Family's second generation members were divided into the leaders of the northern and southern military regions, a single general and two generals. Even in the entire Huaxia, there was no way to find a second family!

But now, Liu Jingtian actually said that the Liu family had collapsed! Just what kind of thing could cause such a huge change in the Liu family? Furthermore, from the beginning to now, everything had been hidden so well without any news being leaked out.

"Tell me in detail, what happened?" Lin Bai took a deep breath, calmed himself down, clenched his fist, and asked Liu Jingtian in a deep voice while staring at him. It was difficult for Lin Bai to feel the warmth of his family. Yet, Liu Jingtian actually said that the Liu family had collapsed. How could he not feel at ease?

Liu Jingtian smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, he extended his hand to hold his hair tightly. He choked for a long time before he finally told the whole story.

The reason Liu Jingtian didn't show up today was because he had been contacting his friends in Beijing to find out more about the Liu family's current situation from these close family members. Countless phone calls were made, but in the end, some sound of wind came out from Huang Zongze's mouth. However, it was this sound of wind that almost knocked him down.

It was unknown what was going on, but there was suddenly a commotion in Yan Jing. All the large families united and pointed their spears at the Liu family, and it was said that there was some information that went straight to the ears of the heavens. It was because of this information that the higher-ups in Yan Jing remained silent about this matter.

Furthermore, under the probing of the various members of the large clans, even though they did not manage to find out anything about the Liu Clan, they managed to uncover some information regarding Xia Xiaoqing. After Xia Xiaoqing lost her father, she began to manage her business on her own. Although there were many methods, there were many obstructions. Without a choice, she did some extraordinary things and was captured a while ago by a certain big shot, giving her some benefits.

Once this matter was over, the families that were originally silent, like leopard cats who had smelled blood, began to crazily chase after Xia Xiaoqing, requesting her to be imprisoned for a thorough examination. However, how could Old Master Liu not know about Xia Xiaoqing's relationship? How could he be willing to let things go so easily? He had forcefully stopped this matter with his life.

But the more Old Master Liu was like this, the more those people were making a ruckus. There were even some people who directly said that there was an unknown dispute between the Liu family and the person they had arrested. If it was just making a ruckus like this, then it was fine. Under the pressure of the Liu family, it would at most last for a period of time. There wouldn't be any results.

But at this critical juncture, the He family remained silent for some reason and did not make a move. What surprised people the most was that Liu Junwen and Liu Junwu were directly sent back to Beijing by the higher-ups. After they returned to Beijing, they never showed themselves again, which made the people of the Doggy Camp even more crazy.

The silence of the higher-ups and the absence of the He family had caused the situation to become even more complicated and confusing. Yan Jing had almost become a place where it was as clean as if it was clean. Countless officials who were close to the Liu Family in the past had been completely suppressed by them. Even if it wasn't for the fact that the Huang Family seemed to be unable to bear the pressure, if it weren't for Lin Bai's repeated attempts to help them, things would have gone sour.

The two elders of his family had gone missing after returning to Beijing. Even the ally of the He family had remained silent. Their close officials had all been purged. The upper echelons of Huaxia were even more taciturn …

Things happened one after another. If this went on, the only outcome that awaited the Liu family would be the fall of a tree and the scattering of monkeys.

"Lin Bai, according to what Huang Zongze said, I'm afraid that the Old Master won't be able to protect Sister Qing for long. "He has been living in the sanatorium ever since the incident began. It seems that something has happened to his body …" At this point, Liu Jingtian could no longer hold back his sobs. Both of his eyes were red and swollen, and his appearance was enough to make anyone's heart ache.

After hearing what Liu Jingtian had to say, the whole hall fell into silence. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Bai. Jin Ling was in such a mess, and with Yan Jing causing such a ruckus, even if Lin Bai had three heads and six arms, it would still be hard to bear it.

"Motherf * cker, who the hell is behind all this? If laozi knew who it was and didn't skin him, then I wouldn't be called Three Crazy!" Zhang SanKuang's eyes widened to the point that they were about to crack. He started spinning around the room, gritting his teeth as he angrily scolded.

It had to be known that he and Liu Jingtian shared a similar temperament. The two of them were on good terms with each other, and the Liu family treated Zhang Sanming with even more respect. Not only did Lin Bai feel the warmth of the home, even his senior brother was no different. Yet, at this moment, there was actually someone who dared to do this to the Liu Clan. How could he remain calm like a bystander?

"Cousin, did Zong Ze say that the two uncles' positions had been stripped of their posts?" After Lin Bai calmed his emotions, he forcefully suppressed the depression in his heart, turned his head, and asked Liu Jingtian in a deep voice.

Liu Jingtian shook his head and said, "That's not true, but at the current stage, there's no difference if I quit my post or not."

"There's a big difference between the two. If they're fired, it means that the information in the document is absolutely true. But the fact that they haven't been expelled means that there's something wrong with the information itself. Even the higher-ups aren't sure what to make of it." Lin Bai slowly shook his head and said in a deep voice.

Just as Lin Bai had said, the silence from the higher-ups was not only a bad thing to the Liu family, but also a good thing. Because silence is a word with two meanings, you can understand it as indulgence, or you can interpret it as watching, and if it's the latter, then it's not a problem at all.

"I checked the old man's body before I came out. His body is in good condition, so there shouldn't be any accidents. Unless the old man intentionally wants to stay in the sanatorium, no one can let him! " Before Liu Jingtian could say anything, Lin Bai spoke again.

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, a hopeful glint appeared in Liu Jingtian's eyes, but disappeared in a flash. No matter what, what Lin Bai said now was just an ambiguous guess. If it was really the latter, then it would be alright. But if it was the former, then what awaited the Liu family would be the same as before.

"Are you going back to Beijing?" After being silent for a long time, Liu Jingtian stared at Lin Bai and asked.

Lin Bai didn't utter a single word. He slowly rose to his feet and walked out of the room. Right now, his heart was in a mess. There were many things he needed to clear up. If he couldn't clear out all of the mist, no matter where he went, it would still be an unchangeable ending.

Staring at Lin Bai's silhouette, the spectators didn't say a word as they watched him depart. Everyone was very clear that from the very beginning until now, Lin Bai had always been evading the question of Xia Xiaoqing.

They knew the weight Xia Xiaoqing held in Lin Bai's heart, and they also knew very well what this first woman in Lin Bai's life meant to him. Lin Bai had never said a single word to her, not because he was not concerned about her, but because at this very moment, the so-called concern, the so-called love, had yet to find a way to save his woman from the fire pit.

The Liu Family, Xia Xiaoqing, and Jin Ling were like three heavy mountains pressing down on his back. He had to straighten his back and carry these three mountains to a stable place to put them down, or else the mountain would be destroyed and people would die.
