　　Early morning.
　　In the capital, the Bai family.
　　Bai Yujing was sitting at the dining table having breakfast. Today he was especially energetic, wearing a neat suit and a bow tie, and dressed very handsomely.
　　Bai Jianjun, who was sitting opposite at the dining table, took a sip of milk and said, “Yujing, did you hear about what happened last night？”
　　“What’s the matter？” Bai Yujing asked.
　　“You　don’t　know？”
　　Bai Jianjun seemed a little surprised. In his opinion, his son was an all-knowing person. As long as it was a major event in the capital, there was nothing he didn’t know.
　　”I went out to drink some wine with friends yesterday. I got drunk and went to bed very early.” Bai Yujing asked, “Father, what’s the matter you mentioned？”
　　Bai Jianjun said, “The Military God left the capital last night.”
　　”Oh？” Bai Yujing was a little surprised. “As far as I know, the Military God hasn’t left the capital for ten years. Where did he go？”
　　”He went to the northwest.” Bai Jianjun said, “He left in the early morning and came back before dawn.”
　　”Could something have happened in the northwest？” Bai Yujing asked.”
　　Bai Jianjun said in a deep voice, “The Military God won’t leave the capital easily. I guess something really big must have happened in the northwest. As for what exactly it is, I don’t know yet. However, I asked the butler to go out and inquire early in the morning.”
　　Just as the two were talking, the butler walked in hurriedly from the outside.
　　”Hello, Mr. Bai. Hello, Young Master.”
　　The butler greeted the father and son of the Bai family respectfully.
　　”Have you found out what I asked you to inquire about？” Bai Jianjun asked.
　　”I found out.” The butler said, “I used some connections. They told me that the Military God suddenly went to the northwest last night because something big happened in the northwest.”
　　”As for what exactly it is, I asked a lot of people and they all don’t know.”
　　”However, news came from the northwest this morning that General Long Haisheng, the commander of the Northwest Military Region, left the headquarters early in the morning and took the northwest high-level to the Gobi Desert…”
　　Hearing this, a cold light flashed in Bai Yujing’s eyes.
　　Bai Jianjun was a little dissatisfied and said, “I asked you to inquire about the news, not to tell me these unimportant things. Is there any other news？”
　　”There is.” The butler said, “According to reliable news, Ye Qiu is dead.”
　　”What did you say？” Bai Yujing’s eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at the butler deadly.
In an instant, the butler only felt as if he was being stared at by a fierce beast, and his heart was so frightened that it was raised to his throat. He trembled and said, “Ye Qiu is dead.”
　　”Which Ye Qiu？” Bai Jianjun said.
　　”It’s the Ye Qiu from Jiangzhou Hospital. I heard that he is from the Hades Palace and went to the northwest to perform a mission and was buried under the yellow sand.” The butler took a look at Bai Yujing and then said, “Ye Qiu has a very close relationship with the eldest lady.”
　　”So it’s him.” Bai Jianjun laughed and said, “He died well.”
　　Bai Yujing also laughed and said, “I was still worried that that kid Ye Qiu would make a big fuss at Bai Bing’s wedding and was going to intercept and kill him. I also made some arrangements. Now it seems that my worry is completely unnecessary.”
　　”That’s okay. Ye Qiu’s death has actually reduced a lot of trouble for me.”
　　”Father, this is worth celebrating. Come, let’s have a toast.”
　　Bai Yujing picked up the milk in front of him and touched it with Bai Jianjun.
　　”By the way, Yujing, how is Bai Bing these days？ Is she obedient？” Bai Jianjun asked.
Bai Yujing replied, “Father, you know best what kind of character Bai Bing is. How could she let us be around?”
　　Ever since Bai Bing returned to the capital and found out that she was deceived by me, she has been making a scene of wanting to die every day.”
　　So, I had to find a place and lock her up.”
　　Bai Jianjun was a little worried and asked, “What if she tries to commit suicide？”
　　Father, don’t worry. I have sent people to watch her 24 hours a day, and I have also installed more than a dozen cameras in the house. Every move of hers cannot escape my eyes.”
　　Not only that, the place where I locked her up was built according to the standards of Qincheng Prison. Even if she hits the wall, she won’t be able to kill herself.”
　　Bai Yujing said, “In any case, this time she must be married into the Pei family. In that case, the matter of father wanting to be transferred to the Jinling Military Region will be stable.”
　　Bai　Jianjun　nodded.
　　There is one more thing I want to tell father.” Bai Yujing said, “I went to Xiangguo Temple to ask the master to check. Next Wednesday is a good day. I want to ask father to go to the Pei family later. If the Pei family has no objections, then let’s set the wedding of Bai Bing and Pei Jie for next Wednesday！”
　　Next Wednesday？” Bai Jianjun frowned slightly. “Isn’t it a bit too hasty？”
　　The earlier the wedding is held, the earlier father can go to the Jinling Military Region. If father is not in a hurry, then I can ask the master to check the date again…”
　　No need, it’s next Wednesday to avoid any changes if it’s postponed.”
　　Bai Jianjun dreams of going to the Jinling Military Region now. After all, once he goes, the single gold star on his shoulder can become two gold stars.
　　If he further takes advantage of the background of the Bai family and the relationship of the Pei family, perhaps in another four or five years, he can carry three gold stars on his shoulder.
　　By then, he will be a regional magnate with military power in his hands.
　　“Father, since you agree, then please trouble you to go to the Pei family later.”
　　“I’ll take care of this matter.”
　　After　having　breakfast.
　　Bai Jianjun hurried to the Pei family, while Bai Yujing drove to a villa in the urban area.
　　The villa covers an area of thousands of square meters. In this place where every inch of land is precious in the capital, it is worth several hundred million yuan.
　　At this time, in the courtyard of the villa, there are dozens of bodyguards patrolling.
　　“Young master！”
　　Seeing Bai Yujing, these bodyguards greeted him respectfully.
　　“Hmm.” Bai Yujing gave a faint hmm and walked into the villa. As soon as he entered the door, a short-haired woman in a black suit appeared in front of him.
　　“Hello, young master.” The woman greeted him respectfully.
　　“How is she？” Bai Yujing asked.
　　“The eldest lady has been on a hunger strike for two days.” The woman replied.
　　“Hmph.” Bai Yujing snorted coldly and, under the leadership of the woman, came to the basement.
　　At this time, outside the basement, there are eight female bodyguards standing.
　　The door of the basement is transparent, and the scene inside can be seen from the outside. There is only a bed and Bai Bing inside. Besides that, there is nothing else.
　　Bai Yujing had the things inside emptied, just to prevent Bai Bing from committing suicide.
　　“Cousin, I’ve come to see you.” Bai Yujing stood at the door and said with a smile.
　　Bai Bing’s hair was disheveled, her pretty face was sallow, and she had lost a lot of weight, which was completely different from the usual appearance of the noble iceberg goddess.
　　Hearing the voice, she raised her head and stared at Bai Yujing with cold eyes, saying, “Don’t try to persuade me anymore. No matter how much you say, it’s just a waste of words. I will never marry Pei Jie.”
　　“You’re wrong. I’m not here to persuade you today.” Bai Yujing smiled and said, “I brought you a message.”
　　“Get out！ I don’t want to hear anything！” Bai Bing shouted angrily.
　　Bai Yujing was not angry at all and smiled, “Don’t you want to hear the news about Ye Qiu either？”
　　“What happened to Ye Qiu？” Bai Bing asked anxiously.
　　Bai Yujing smiled slightly： “He’s dead.”
