Lin Ze drove to Bai's house, and as soon as he stopped the car, he got out of the car.
Bang.
After closing the car door, Lin Ze stepped on the deep snow and walked towards the front door of the Bai family.
The feet stepped on the snow, making squeaking sounds from time to time, with a strong sense of rhythm.
The security guard at the door stopped Lin Ze. Lin Ze was not angry and said with a smile: "I'm here to see Mr. Bai."
"Master Bai is very busy and has no time to see Mr. Lin." A security guard said calmly.
"He will be free." Lin Ze said with a smile, "Please let me know."
Naturally, the security guard did not dare to offend Lin Ze. He gave him a subtle look, but still turned around and went in to report.
Soon, the security guard ran back quickly and said to Lin Ze: "Mr. Lin, the young master invites you to come in for a gathering."
"Troublesome." Lin Ze smiled and walked straight towards this historic house.
Lin Ze was no longer a stranger to the Bai family. He didn't need a butler to lead the way and he could reach the living room with ease.
Along the way, thick snowflakes were still falling in the sky. Lin Ze's head and shoulders were covered with white snow. When he arrived at the door, he shook off the snowflakes on his body and saw Bai Twelve sitting in the living room making tea. .
He was as calm as ever, with a light smile on his face and gentle manner.
Today's Bai Twelve is no longer polite.
But at certain times, he was still as non-aggressive as Lin Ze was when they first met.
"Mr. Lin, it's windy outside." Bai Twelve stood up to greet him, smiling softly.
"Yes, it hasn't snowed so heavily in Yanjing in ten years." Lin Ze walked in with a smile and sat at the coffee table at Bai Twelve's invitation.
"Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up." Bai Twelve handed over a cup.
"Young Master Bai has also begun to study tea ceremony." Lin Ze asked with a smile.
But anyone could see that the smile on Lin Ze's face was extremely hypocritical.
It’s no wonder that Lin Ze was 90% responsible for Lin Tianwang’s disappearance. If he could still have the same heart-to-heart relationship with Bai Twelve as before, he would be so fucking inhuman.
Bai Twelve was certainly not stupid, but the smile on his face was still gentle. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mr. Lin came all the way, tell me something."
"Yes." Lin Ze nodded, put down the tea cup and said, "Qiu Fei was defeated by Mr. Bai before, and as far as I know, Qiu Fei's strength has reached an extremely high level during those days of seclusion."
"That's right." Bai Twelve nodded slightly, "Qiu Fei's strength has indeed improved a lot."
"But he still lost to Mr. Bai." Lin Ze narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It's a fluke." Bai Twelve said modestly.
"It's a fluke." Lin Ze laughed, openly and boldly, "But why, in my opinion, it's not very difficult for you to win against him."
When Bai Twelve heard this, he rotated the cup slightly and raised his head: "Mr. Lin means..."
"Why don't we have a fight?" Lin Ze leaned forward slightly and said aggressively, "Frankly speaking, apart from you, I don't know who is worth fighting in this world."
Bai Twelve's eyes lit up.
How could he not see that Lin Ze's strength had greatly improved, and even if Qiu Fei faced him, it would be difficult to win.
But whether it was subjective or objective, this battle was inevitable. Bai Twelve smiled, then picked up the teacup again, took a sip and said, "Can you give me a few more days to prepare."
"Of course." Seeing his agreement, Lin Ze's heart dropped slightly.
"In a martial arts competition, fists and kicks are useless. If something unexpected happens to both parties, there's really nothing to say about it." Bai Twelve said in a very suggestive way.
"Life and death are determined by destiny." Lin Ze said with a smile, "Even if I am unfortunately defeated by Mr. Bai, or even lose my life because of it, it will only be because I am not as skilled as others. I can't blame others."
Bai Twelve narrowed his eyes slightly, sent the tea cup to Lin Ze, and said with a smile: "It's a deal."
"Do it first to show respect."
…
"He agreed." Ning Gu frowned slightly.
Lin Ze nodded lightly.
"You're not worried at all." Yue Qun asked with a subtle expression.
Lin Ze shook his head.
"How sure are you?" Chen Laizi asked seriously.
Lin Ze continued to shake his head.
Silver Girl and Da Hongyi said nothing, just stared at him quietly.
"Winning or losing, I will fight this battle." Lin Ze lit a cigarette and spoke forcefully.
"Bai Twelve's strength has reached a peak state. Although you have made great progress recently, you may not be sure to defeat him." Ning Gu said with a worried look.
"How will you know if you don't try it?" Lin Ze said with a smile.
He lost to Bai Twelve once.
It was also the only failure in his life. Except for Bai Twelve, no one could make Lin Ze lie down completely, lying on the ground motionless like a waste.
Perhaps for some people who are not mentally strong enough, Bai Twelve will become a lifelong mountain that cannot be overcome, but that is not the case for Lin Ze. He becomes more courageous with every setback, and becomes stronger when he encounters a strong one. As long as he is not dead, he will work hard. Cross this mountain.
"In this world, in my opinion, the only one who is confident of defeating Bai Twelve is your father." Ning Gu was not afraid of pouring cold water on Lin Ze's fighting spirit. On the contrary, she hoped that Lin Ze would think about it again.
Normally, Ning Gu would never worry that Lin Ze would be frustrated in a battle. Even if he was frustrated, he still firmly believed that Lin Ze could save his life. But this time it was different. He was facing Bai Twelve. , a dominating powerhouse who stands at the pinnacle of Broken Mirror, a peerless master who will be thrown into hell by his opponent if he is not careful. It is not too much for Ning Gu to have such worries.
"What my father can do, I won't be too far behind." Lin Ze raised his eyebrows, looked back at the people who were staring at him with concern, and said word by word, "Someone told me, Bai Bai Twelve is the biggest hurdle in my life. Maybe as you think, I can hide from it. Yes, I can indeed hide from it. I can also live a comfortable life after hiding from it, but that is not the life I want. As a man, when faced with difficulties, you should not choose to avoid them, but face them head on, solve them, and clear the obstacles. If I hide this time, I will habitually choose to avoid them next time I encounter difficulties. Rather than face it.”
"Do you want me to become that kind of person, a man?" Lin Ze stared at everyone.
Everyone was speechless.
Finally, Silver Girl walked towards Lin Ze and met his eyes.
"My husband must be an unparalleled hero."
…
The north wind is howling and the snow is falling.
The Bai family has servants clearing away the snow all the time, but after one night, the ground will be covered with snow again.
Bai Twelve wiped the blood off his hands, threw the bloody white handkerchief into the trash can in the corridor, slowly came to the door, and pushed it open.
Creak.
The house is quiet and warm.
Bai Wanjun is afraid of the cold, which is probably Bai Wanjun's second Achilles' heel. The first one is naturally Bai Twelve, who has been taken care of by her since he was a child.
In front of Bai Twelve, she not only played the role of a wife, but also a mother.
After entering, Bai Twelve quickly closed the door to prevent the cold wind from pouring in.
Xu Bu came to the coffin. Bai Twelve gazed at the person inside the coffin tenderly, with a warm smile on his face, and said softly: "Wanjun, I did something very special today." After a pause. After a pause, he shook his head and said, "You definitely don't want to know, so I won't say anything, but Lin Ze came to see me yesterday and invited me to fight, and I agreed."
"Do you think I'm too violent?" Bai Twelve smiled and said, "But some things need to be settled after all. Whether he wins or I win, there is no way to avoid this battle."
Bai Twelve stared at Bai Wanjun with gentle eyes, an unspeakable apology on his face, full of guilt for this woman and the woman who would still consider him until her death.
…
"Master, the situation is under control."
In the study, a cold young man lowered his head and reported to Bai Twelve.
"Yes." Bai Twelve nodded lightly, took a sip of tea and said, "Let's start taking action."
The cold man was startled for a moment, and then lowered his head: "You have really decided."
"There's a problem." Bai Twelve raised his head, his eyes blazing.
"No." The young man replied hurriedly, "I'll make arrangements."
After saying that, he turned around and left the study.
The aura of Bai Twelve was something he couldn't resist. He didn't even want to stay in the study for a second and stand in front of Bai Twelve.
"Wait a minute." Bai Twelve called to the young man.
"Yeah." The young man turned his head and looked at Bai Twelve in confusion.
Bai Twelve stared at him carefully, but for a long time, he didn't say a word. Finally, he waved his hand and said calmly: "It's nothing, let's go out."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief and left the study.
As soon as he left the room, he gasped and suddenly found that his face was covered with large beads of sweat, and even his shirt was completely soaked.
Walking in the corridor with weak legs, when the young man passed by the room that was completely closed today, he involuntarily moved a few steps away and left.
After leaving the Bai family's house, the young man got into the car, but instead of driving away immediately, he lit a cigarette and smoked half of it in one breath.
After smoking his cigarette for a minute, the young man looked back at the Bai family, which was full of vicissitudes of life but also made him feel scared. He muttered four words to himself: "The world is in chaos."
