Bai's residence, a group of people were bowing before Bai San. They're his subordinates who've been spying on Bai lan, they're reporting everything that happened during Bai lan's date.

"They're hugging, how crazy" Bai San was shocked to hear that, his cousin was so brave.

Bai san was even weirder, why didn't his cousin bring along the bodyguards and only Zhang Kai to accompany him. Qian He had said that Zhang Kai was actually a hired gun.

Bai san didn't believe him at first, but after hearing this. Bai san believes it more, only. Zhang Kai's messenger, the Bai family has no enemies but more friends.

It would be strange, if a bad person ordered a slave to commit a crime. Since they were bound by a contract, he thought it was impossible.

But still, Zhang Kai would be watched by his subordinates. "They go around and chat, and then eat together" He muttered, his subordinates nodded.

With that much evidence, Bai lan wouldn't be able to evade. However, Bai San still wasn't satisfied. "This evidence is still not strong, collect all the evidence again" he said.

"Good sir" his subordinates left immediately, while Bai San's bodyguards approached him.

"We couldn't find the identity of the woman sir, she might be a refugee from outside the city. She hasn't registered yet" said the bodyguard.

"That's better" Bai San grinned widely, he would certainly benefit if An Rui's identity was indeed a refugee.

Meanwhile, Zhang Kai had just arrived at Bai's residence. During the whole day, Zhang Kai continued to follow the two on a date and chatted about many things.

Zhang Kai was very happy, but not because of the two. Rather, it was because he was able to travel around the city and see the beautiful scenery and architecture of the city.

He was truly mesmerized by the beautiful scenery around him, the clothes worn by people were also very cool and unique. Although it looked difficult to wear, Zhang Kai was really happy.

At the end of the date, the two decided to eat at a restaurant. After chatting about many things, the two agreed to go out again the next day.

Zhang Kai was sure that their spirits were still high. So dating for a month was no problem, unlike him who was too lazy to do that.

"Come with me next time" Bai lan said with a happy smile, he kept smiling after meeting An Rui.

Zhang Kai nodded, and immediately went back to his room to rest and recharge his energy.

"It feels so relieving" Zhang Kai muttered.

The next day, Bai lan and An Rui's date continued. Their relationship was also getting closer and closer, but Zhang Kai knew that there was a trap waiting for their relationship.

Meanwhile, Bai Zan was busy visiting one shop after another. He does this every few weeks, to check on the smooth running of the Bai family's store.

Actually, he was dizzy, because he couldn't find a way to get strong support for his son. In fact, his son's position almost beat that of the first elder's son.

Bai Zan wanted his son to be the leader of the family, he didn't want his two sons to be errand boys like him. For him, it was enough that this position stopped with him, he was reluctant for his son to inherit his current position or even worse.

Hence, he is willing to sacrifice a lot of money and sweat. Just for the sake of his son's future, even though his efforts also failed like the fake connection of the cultivator yesterday.

Bai Zan knew that if he was too late to get support for his son. Then things wouldn't change, unless his son became a cultivator or an important person, but he knew his son wasn't very talented in many things.

"Sir, there's news!" The guan bodyguard looked panicked, he immediately approached him. Bai Zan was quite panicked, because it was rare for guan bodyguards to panic.

"Look, sir, all the elders are holding an emergency meeting. It's related to Bai lan" said bodyguard guan.

"What's going on!" Bai Zan panicked, his face turning instantly pale. He thought something bad had happened to his son, "I don't know sir, they didn't explain what happened!" Bodyguard Guan said frantically.

Guard Guan who got the news was also worried, he had taken care of Bai Lan since she was a baby so he already considered he his own child. "Hurry up and get the horses ready!" Bai Zan shouted frantically, he ran over in a hurry.

"Please, not something bad. Please!" Bai Zan kept saying during the journey, his feelings were mixed.

Arriving at the residence, the soldiers pointed in the direction of the main residence. Bai Zan's face soured, his heart was already troubled. "Everyone is waiting in the main room" said one of the soldiers.

Bai Zan ran, he finally arrived in front of the room and immediately opened it. "My son!" He shouted.

His son was sitting in the center of the room, with Zhang Kai sitting behind him. "What happened!" Bai Zan was relieved and angry, seeing his son slumped down.

"Calm down, nothing happened. Sit down" said a man sitting on a higher seat, he looked at Bai Zan flatly.

"You better sit down, then listen to my explanation" said a man, behind him stood Bai San with a big smile.

Earlier, Zhang Kai was accompanying Bai lan on a date. He knew the trap that Bai San and Qian he had prepared. However, he couldn't do anything, even if he told Bai lan, he wouldn't care.

Even if he prepared to dispel the trap, there was nothing he could do at all. he didn't have any strength, nor any weapons, he could only follow the trap that had been set up.

The date was going well, until suddenly. An Rui was pulled by an unknown person, Zhang Kai immediately panicked and tried to protect Bai lan.

"My goodness, you're dealing with a poor person. You should go to court immediately!" Said someone from behind them, Zhang Kai turned his head.

"Bai San, where is that woman!" Bai lan was furious that An Rui had been taken away so suddenly. He was sure this must be her doing, seeing as she showed up afterward.

"You're accusing me!!, But it's true!" Bai san laughed with satisfaction, he had finally gathered all the evidence and the woman for the trial.

He knew that if the woman wasn't brought along. There would be questions, so he took her along. "You bastard, you're doing dirty things just for the leader's position. You scum!" Bai lan was overcome with emotion, and she immediately ran over to Bai San.

However, Bai lan fainted instantly. As soon as he was hit by someone, Zhang Kai was shocked but he fainted too. "Take them," Bai San said with a big smile.

In the courtroom, the fourth elder stood up and explained what happened. "He has tarnished the honor of our family!!! By having relations with a poor woman!!! This is a sin that cannot be tolerated!" The fourth elder shouted.

He was surprised when his son told him. That he had prepared a scheme and evidence that Bai lan had hooked up with a poor woman.

His ambitious self was naturally thrilled. He fully supported his son's decision. Fortunately, all the evidence was very strong and great.

"What, no way! Where's the evidence!" Bai Zan immediately denied it, he knew his son could not be related to ordinary people.

"You want proof, please ask yourself. If you don't, I have plenty of evidence behind me." The fourth elder grinned, looking at him.

Bai Zan was furious, seeing the fourth elder's contemptuous face, he looked at his son. "Bai lan, is what the fourth elder said true!" Bai Zan asked.

Bai lan, who was downcast, didn't dare turn his head toward his father. He also didn't dare to shake his head, because he knew he was wrong and the woman was from the lower class.

"That's right, Dad." Bai lan spoke very quietly, but his father could hear him clearly. His face changed instantly, he lowered his head slightly.

"Bring that woman in." The first elder said, sitting like a king above the others.

"No! Please let her go!" Bai lan pleaded, she couldn't watch her loved ones being punished.

"Look, he's already in love with that woman!" The fourth elder shouted, while Bai San had just been visited by his subordinates.

"Master, we lost the woman. It turns out that someone else took the woman" his subordinate whispered, Bai san's face soured.

"Damn it!" Bai san cursed, his father heard him. "What's going on?" Bai San whispered, "It doesn't matter, the important thing is that he confessed" her father explained.

Bai San smiled again, "We have to punish him" said the fourth elder, while the first elder remained silent before standing up.

"Approaching a lower-class person is a sin, of course we don't need to punish him that severely. How about, depriving him of his right to be a successor" said the first elder.

Bai Zan who heard him was furious, he had sacrificed a lot. "What!!! No way! How can it be like that!" Shouted Bai Zan who was furious at his punishment.

"Then, what do you think is the best punishment for your son" asked the first elder coldly.

"That..." Bai Zan was silent for an instant, he certainly couldn't think of it. Moreover, the one to be punished was his own son, how could he think of a good punishment.

"Then with this..."

"Wait!" Someone shouted to stop the first elder's speech, everyone instantly fell silent as soon as they saw a man enter.

"Second elder, when are you coming back!" The fourth elder looked very surprised, he didn't expect the second elder to come. Since this man was avoided by him, he had more power.

"You punished him, just for making a connection with someone else. Now I ask, did you really make a connection with that woman?" the second elder asked Bai lan.

"I swear, I haven't made a connection with him," Bai lan said aloud.

"I also swear" zhang kai opened his voice too, because he was sick of hearing this manipulated trial.

The second elder looked at Zhang Kai, he smiled slightly. "You see, this kid hasn't even tied the knot yet. I will punish him myself, if both of them have bound love!" He said loudly.

Everyone instantly fell silent, they looked very reluctant to the second elder. Even the first elder didn't dare to argue, "Alright, fourth elder. Do you have any proof that Bai lan has bound love?" The fourth elder fell silent.

"This trial is over," said the second elder.

"It's not over yet, this slave has a relationship with that woman. We must execute him!" The fourth elder shouted.

"Slaves who dare to speak, should be beheaded" said the first elder, but again the second elder disagreed.

"Just give a prison sentence, I don't want to see someone killed when I just came!" Said the second elder, they were all shocked and looked at Zhang Kai.

They were confused as to whether this slave had a relationship with the second elder. In fact, it was rare to see the second elder rescue someone unknown.

"Alright if this is your wish, this trial is over. Put him in prison" said the first elder who immediately left, as did the fourth elder.

Meanwhile, Bai Zan approached Bai lan, "I'm really disappointed, son." Bai lan looked down in defeat, then shed his tears.

While Zhang Kai smiled heavily, "Again and again" he said with a little anger.
