Chapter 60: Loss of Humanity (Part 2)

  The second update is here! There will be another chapter later tonight, around 6 pm!!

  No matter how angry Grandma Bai was, no matter how unwilling Bai Xijing was, Grandpa Bai still insisted on having a profound and thorough discussion with the main content of seeking help from the criminal police team. The opinions of the participants were basically divided into three factions. Only Grandpa Bai strongly agreed, while only Grandma Bai strongly opposed it. Bai Xijing remained silent, his cold gaze already showing his attitude.

  The third faction is led by Bai Le Jing, Bai Yi Jing and Bai You Jing, the soy sauce party, and the onlooker party led by young people, as well as the wallpaper party led by three daughters-in-law. It's not that they are irresponsible, but it's just that no one dares to go against White Grandpa and White Grandma's tiger-like temper. As the saying goes: One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless it's a male and female pair!

  As for the outcome of the meeting, Old Man Bai expressed his dissatisfaction. He scowled and said, "Qiao Lan, you tell me, are you in favor or opposed?"

  Daughter-in-law Qiao Lan was also affected, being forced by her father-in-law to make a statement, she felt very depressed.

  White Grandma got angry, glaring at White Grandpa, "You shut up, Old Man! Qiao Lan is a law enforcement officer, she should be on your side, but she didn't say a word. Her attitude is already very clear. You old fool, don't stir up trouble and make the two of us not get along." Turning her head, Mother Night Fury instantly transformed into a gentle good wife, "Little Lan, it's okay if you don't want to talk, Mom understands you."

  Qiao Lan's mouth twitched slightly as she lowered her head and tried to minimize her presence.

  Grandpa Bai's forehead bulged with anger, and his own supporters were easily taken down by the opponent's few words. Grandpa Bai was even more displeased, continuing to yell, "Zhuo Mei, tell me, are you for or against?"

  "Zhuo Mei is your student, she should also be supporting you, but she too has been silent, her attitude not clear enough?"

  "Reishi!!!!"

  "Lingzhi is a legal doctor, logically she should be on your side, but she didn't say a word..."

  "It's clear, isn't it!!" Grandpa Bai finally couldn't hold back his anger and interrupted Grandma Bai's words. Grandma Bai glared back at him without showing any weakness, "That's right, you old fool! I absolutely won't let my five-year-old granddaughter face a cold corpse, I absolutely won't let her become the second person in the Bai family to suffer from emotional numbness!!"

  The last sentence made the old man speechless, he lowered his head, his face full of vicissitudes, as if he had aged twenty years in an instant.

  Bai Xijing's lack of humanity has always been a pain in his heart, it was almost that he turned his youngest son into a cold-blooded machine without seven emotions and six desires. For Bai Xijing, he has always had a sense of guilt and shame, so for this young son, he is always more tolerant and more lenient, to the point where Bai Xijing became the tyrant of S city's business world.

  Looking at Grandpa Bai's sudden downturn, Grandma Bai couldn't help but feel some regret. She bit her lip, and apologetic words almost burst out, but as she glanced over at Little Jingchen sitting in Bai Xijing's arms, with a completely innocent and naive expression on his face, she held back. She absolutely could not let Little Jingchen become the second Bai Xijing; she had made one mistake already and couldn't afford to make another!

  Everyone in the Bai family knew about Xi Jing's situation, which is why the three brothers and their wives all remained silent. From a professional standpoint, they should have supported Grandfather Bai, as it was their duty to uphold justice. However, from a personal standpoint, they didn't want to let a child who hadn't even attended kindergarten yet face the cold corpse. Except for Dr. Xia Lingzhi, all the adults would feel uneasy upon seeing the body, not to mention little Jingchen, who had just turned six years old.

  The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became very awkward, the grandchildren shrank their heads and tried to downplay their existence, several adults looked at each other nervously, not even daring to breathe loudly, for fear of being caught in the storm.

  After a long silence, Old White waved his hand weakly and helplessly said, "Forget it, forget it. I can't argue with you, you're always right. If we don't go, then we won't go. I just can't believe that the entire S City Police Department can't crack a case involving a six-year-old child?"

  Everyone secretly let out a sigh of relief, and White Grandma's face looked slightly better. She had been obedient to White Grandpa for so many years, and if things hadn't been too unbearable, she wouldn't have argued with him in such a stubborn manner.

  A family storm seemed to have ended with the defeat of Grandpa Bai, for the first time, his authority as the head of the family was challenged, but he didn't feel much anger or resentment in his heart, more was a sense of helplessness and guilt. He had almost ruined his youngest son's life for the sake of work and so-called justice, this time, let him be selfish once... However, thinking of those twelve girls who died tragically, Grandpa Bai still felt that his conscience was condemning him, like a maggot gnawing at his strong backbone.

  Grandpa Bai stood up and returned to the study, looking at his slightly hunched back and gray hair. Everyone in the room felt uncomfortable, feeling that Grandma Bai's anger had dissipated. Xiao Jingchen finally couldn't bear it and spoke for the first time, "Dad, why did grandma quarrel with grandpa? Was it because of me?"

  "Of course not..."

  The words suddenly stopped, and Bai Xi Jing stared at the clear and transparent eyes of Xiao Jing, his mind suddenly a bit dizzy. A normal child, a six-year-old... or rather, a five-and-a-half-year-old child, would not understand what the other person was arguing about after listening to an entire hour of quarreling?

  In an instant, Bai Xijing had a sudden realization, as if the clouds and fog had parted to reveal a bright moon. Yes, any five-and-a-half-year-old child with normal intelligence would know what they were arguing about after listening to an hour of quarreling. And Xiao Jingchen's hearing was so sharp that she could recite entire scriptures just by listening. With her exceptional talent, it was impossible for her not to have heard clearly what White Grandma and White Grandpa said. She was just slow to react, not mentally challenged.

  No matter how complicated the reason is, it should be understood after listening to it N times. Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai have mentioned words such as "corpse", "police", "Jingchen", "child" and "help" more than once. The reason why Xiaojingchen doesn't understand is that she doesn't care about the real reason for Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai's quarrel, but subconsciously attributes the mistake to herself.

  Yes, she doesn't care!!

  Bai Xi Jing felt he had entered a misunderstanding, and now that he had stepped out of it, he immediately grasped the key to the problem - Grandpa Bai and Grandma Bai had been entangled in disputes for so long, and he himself had almost been burned to ashes by the flames of anger. However, they seemed to have forgotten to ask Xiao Jingchen's opinion. Never mind that a six-year-old child didn't understand anything; although Xiao Jingchen lacked common sense, he was a wise person with great wisdom, tempered by the Buddha.
