Bai Yang and Tao Ran felt that it was indeed Xiao Bai’s fault to say those shocking words when she met Zhou Guang for the first time. The two of them deliberated for a moment and exchanged glances before Tao Ran spoke.

“We will follow you back to see your mother.”

“You can’t go!” Xiao Bai said resolutely. “Zhou Tao isn’t a good person. Stay away from him. If you get too close to him, when the heavens strike him with lightning, those who are close to him will be implicated.”

“You!” When Zhou Tao heard this, he was so angry that he stomped his feet and wanted to rush over to hit Bai Jin.

“Then you’re at fault! Can’t you just talk properly!”

Bai Yang stopped him. Initially, he was protecting his child. He had thought that his daughter’s words were unpleasant to the ears. Thus, it was only right for them to bear some responsibility as her parents. However, if Zhou Tao wanted to hit his daughter, he would not allow that.

Bai Jin went closer to Zhou Tao and said softly, “When I said that you were not a good person, I did not make a wild accusation. What a person has said and done all of it is hidden in his facial features. You have a marred face. Your face is gloomy and your ophryon is dark. If my intuition is right, you should have taken someone’s life!”

“You!” Zhou Tao was shocked. He staggered and stepped back.

He had indeed taken someone’s life. Moreover, it was related to the Bai family’s project that Zhou Guang had subcontracted. He had spent a lot of effort this year to convince his father to let him participate in the project.

However, he failed to think long-term in doing things. Furthermore, when he had just taken up the project, he was immediately surrounded by many people who flattered him, and he got carried away. After listening to what those scoundrels had said, he replaced the steel bars of the project with the ones of inferior quality.

However, his wrongdoing was soon discovered during the inspection process.

The Bai family emphasized the quality of the project. The entire project was then rectified, which made his father extremely busy and under great pressure. His father had also given him a good scolding.

Besides being scolded, last week, a migrant worker from his construction site suddenly called and threatened to expose the matter and ask for one million to keep him quiet.

One million! This person must have lost his marbles from being poor!

Since the matter happened during the project, his father was still able to keep it under control. As for him, his father’s money would eventually belong to him. Due to the old man’s affairs earlier on, his half-brother had long separated from his family. He would only come back a few times a year.

He was oblivious of being scolded. As long as he was thick-skinned enough and was able to coax the old man, he would be able to return to the project sooner or later.

However, this migrant worker who suddenly appeared had disrupted his plans. He was pressed so much that he became so anxious. Hence, Zhou Tao eventually set up a trap and invited the worker out for a drink to discuss the matter. On their way back, he seized the opportunity and pushed the worker into the river while he was drunk and all alone.

Zhou Tao had repeatedly inspected the road and confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras in the vicinity. He was sure that he carried out his plans without anyone present. So how did this girl from the Bai family find out?

Zhou Tao’s back was drenched with cold sweat. Oh yes, she must have bluffed him. She was bluffing!

Thinking of this, Zhou Tao suddenly felt less flustered. He was about to open his mouth to curse when he heard the girl speak faintly again.

“Have you been dreaming these few days that you’re always in a cold, damp, and suffocating place? Do you feel choked, as if something is strangling your neck?”

Bai Jin then counted with her fingers. This guy had indeed taken someone’s life!

Upon hearing Bai Jin’s words, Zhou Tao immediately swallowed his rage. She was right! He indeed had such a dream. But the dream was pitch black and he couldn’t see anything clearly.

But he just took it as he had been under too much pressure lately. While he was on his way to visit the Bai family, he had thought about going to some familiar places to look for a woman to de-stress.
