Chapter 428: Bai Congwu’s Decision

While speaking, Bai Congwu was also observing Chu Jiang’s reaction, preparing for the possibility that he might attack without listening to his explanation.

Fortunately, Chu Jiang didn’t seem as ferocious as he had imagined, so Bai Congwu continued speaking.

"After giving birth to this daughter, the woman has always wanted to officially marry into our White family and even wanted my father to divorce my mother. My father firmly refused, so she secretly took the child and ran away. To prevent our White family from finding her, she even went abroad."

"Two decades have passed just like that, and our White family has been searching for the whereabouts of this woman and her sister, but we have never been able to find them. At one point, we even thought we would never be able to see them again."

"But unexpectedly, Captain Chu, after going to the neighboring island country, brought back my sister safe and sound. We are extremely grateful to you for this."

Speaking, Bai Congwu also showed a gentle smile to Kujo Aino, but Love only shrank behind Chu Jiang, pretending not to understand his words.

Chu Jiang was very speechless. He shook his head and looked at Bai Congwu, saying, "Should I say that you have good acting skills? Or should I say that your script is bad?"

"To be honest, I have thought about your various ways of dealing with it, but I completely didn’t expect you to come up with the most nonsensical one for me."

Bai Congwu remained unfazed and said, "Captain Chu, I know you don’t believe it, but this is the truth."

At this point, Bai Congwu relaxed a bit. It seemed that Chu Jiang didn’t come with the intention of completely annihilating the White Tiger Family. Otherwise, he would not have given them time to react and still be willing to communicate with him.

"Where is the evidence?" Chu Jiang looked calmly at the other party, also letting Kujo Aino come out for confrontation.

Bai Congwu nodded, "Actually, at first, we were not aware of this matter. We only knew that Captain Chu brought back two women from the island country."

"But later on, we discovered that one of the women’s appearances were very similar to that of my aunt; maybe not exactly alike, but at least about 60-70% resemblance."

"After my father saw the photo, he started to have doubts and discussed them seriously with me."

At this point, a middle-aged man who was standing on Bai Congwu’s left side stepped forward with a guilty expression. He also took out a few old photos and said, "This is Shufen, the mother of the child."

Chu Jiang took a glance and saw a fashionable and beautiful woman in these old photos, who indeed bore some resemblance to Kujo Aino.

But Chu Jiang still found it absurd and said, "Is this all? I have no patience. Don’t force me to act now."

"Well," Bai Congwu smiled bitterly, "I wanted to reconcile with you before, but when you returned from abroad, you went to the headquarters of the research institute."

"Since I didn’t see you, I didn’t enter Tianfeng Mansion. But it was around that time that I accidentally saw Kujo Aino from afar."

"It should be the correct name. This is the information we urgently collected from the island country afterwards."

"What shocked me the most was that this woman has the bloodline of the Bai family and the curse of our Bai family."

"I can confirm this one hundred percent. I can even sense that Captain Chu, you also have the curse on you. I wonder how you imprinted it."

Bai Congwu looked puzzled.

"After discovering this, I didn’t rush to contact Kujo Aino. Instead, I hurried back to thoroughly investigate this matter and see if our family has any lost bloodline."

"The ironic result is… my father hesitated and then told me that this woman might be my half-sister."

"To be honest, don’t say you don’t believe it, I didn’t believe it myself at the time."

"After probing further, I found out that my father, Bai Jingde, had an extramarital affair in his early years. Our family didn’t know anything about it. Later on, he got the woman pregnant and tried to pay her to have an abortion."

"But after taking the money, that woman disappeared. My father sent people to look for her but couldn’t find her. He didn’t dare to use the power of the family to search extensively, so we could only pretend that nothing happened for the time being."

"During these years, my father was actually prepared. That woman returned with a child to claim the family inheritance, but the result didn’t arrive. It wasn’t until I started investigating the matter of illegitimate children comprehensively that he finally spoke up to me."

Bai Jingde, who was standing beside, looked really embarrassed, lowered his head, and looked at several photos in his hand without saying a word.

"Upon learning this, I didn’t have time to argue with my father. I just pondered seriously whether we could use this relationship to ease some of the existing conflicts between you and me."

"So, after Captain Chu brought Kujo Aino over here, we quickly discussed and then that scene happened."

Bai Congwu spread his hands and said, "If this plan doesn’t work, I’m ready to surrender and sacrifice myself in front of you, to protect our family."

"After all, it was solely my responsibility to manipulate Duan Mingen to test you. My father was not pleased with me for provoking you on my own initiative."

"At that time, I only said four words: prisoner’s dilemma." He finished speaking and chuckled helplessly.

Chu Jiang was surprised that Bai Congwu was so honest and straightforward, revealing all his plans like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Why don’t we try gathering our family’s strength and fighting back? Besides, I don’t believe someone like you would commit suicide."

Bai Congwu’s expression remained calm and he said, "I would."

"Captain Chu, don’t underestimate me. I once saw you as a formidable rival in my life. Unfortunately, you have grown too fast, terrifyingly fast. Now, I am no longer worthy to be your opponent."

"Based on the information I have gathered, as the current leader of the Chu’s Jiang lineage, Captain Chu has fully embraced the Chu’s Jiang way. Whether it was dealing with the Ghost Hunting Society or the Kujo family from the island country, you handled them decisively and efficiently."

"And finally, you managed to solve three very difficult supernatural incidents, one after another. I must be crazy to think that all the power of the White Tiger Family combined could put up a fight against you."

"Since I have no chance of winning, as the current head of the Bai family, I naturally have to make the best decision for our family."

"We have already contacted Research Institute No. 21. If my death cannot satisfy you, they will step in to stop you."

"After all, as supernatural phenomena continue to increase worldwide, it is quite valuable for the White Tiger Family to continue to exist with the support of our family and the Sincerity Company’s research institute."

Looking at Bai Congwu’s calm expression, Chu Jiang was a bit surprised. He had underestimated this guy a little bit. Bai Congwu was really cunning and willing to harm others, including himself.

Of course, this kind of result appeared because Chu Jiang’s strength surpassed the other person’s expectations, forcing him to do so.
