Game World: Am I a toy of the system?

After the dinner, Yang did not arrange Bai Meng to live in the backyard, but took him back home.

There are two rooms on both sides of the main hall. One is where Yue lives and the other is where Yang lives. Although they are not biological sisters, they have a close relationship.

Yang pushed open the door of the west wing, turned on the incandescent lamp, took off his shoes, went up to the kang and spread bedding for Bai Meng.

"The bedding and pillows are all new."

"Just bear with it for one night. I'll take you back to Tiancheng tomorrow."

Bai Meng looked around the room and hummed.

Although the furnishings in the west wing are simple, every piece of furniture and utensil is very exquisite, and there is a very unique fragrance, I don't know what it is.

After laying out the bedding, Yang sat on the kang and put on her shoes. Seeing him sniffing around, she smiled and explained, "There are a lot of mosquitoes this season, so I put insect repellent in the room. I'll give you a copy of the prescription later."

Fearing that Bai Meng would refuse, he added: "This medicine is always available at home, and everyone knows the recipe."

After putting on his shoes, Yang walked to the door, turned back and gently said, "Go to bed early, and call me if you need anything."

Bai Meng could feel her kindness and gentleness, and she really treated him as a family member, which made people feel warm in their hearts.

"Got it, Sister Yang, you should also go to bed early."

With a faint smile, Yang left the house and returned to the main room.

Bai Meng stood at the door, watched her figure disappear in the yard, then looked up at the sky.

The rain had stopped at this time, and the crescent moon was hidden in the clouds, half-hidden.

After closing the door and turning off the lights, Bai Meng took off his shoes and clothes and lay down on the kang.

This is a very common kang in the north, which can be used for heating in winter. Bai Meng's family also has one.

I took out my cell phone from my pocket. I had been muting the phone because I had something to do.

There are many missed calls, all from Sister Meng.

There are still many unread messages, all from Sister Meng.

After not seeing her for a day, Bai Meng missed her a little, so he dialed the number and called her.

At this moment, on the top floor of Tiancheng Financial Center.

Liu Yunmeng sat behind her desk handling company affairs, and her eyes were full of worry as she looked at her mobile phone from time to time.

Since waking up at noon, she has ordered people to keep an eye on the movements of the Rainy Night Butcher.

At the beginning, news came in one after another.

After lunch, there was no news at all. No matter how hard we tried, there was no new information.

She was so anxious that she didn't care whether she would be exposed or not, because she already knew that he was the Rainy Night Butcher.

Liu Yunmeng picked up his phone and called Bai Meng, not for anything else, just to make sure he was safe.

I don't know how many phone calls I made and how many messages I sent, but they all fell on deaf ears, with no response.

It also made Liu Yunmeng feel more and more depressed, and all kinds of bad thoughts came to his mind.

Until after 7pm.

All of a sudden, those companies that had besieged Liu were suddenly subject to joint surprise inspections by local tax, fire, safety, labor union, environmental and other departments.

This seemed to be a signal, and all the forces targeting the Liu family disappeared completely in an instant.

The Liu family's crisis was resolved before even Liu Yunmeng could react.

The cause of this result must be a more terrifying force, and Liu Yunmeng knew exactly which force it was.

Although Liu Yunmeng really wanted to ask Si Huai why the Si tribe helped her resolve the crisis before she had responded.

But she still held herself back, continued to handle her affairs in the office, and then called Bai Meng.

Then, just a few minutes after she put her phone down again, it rang.

After seeing who was calling, Liu Yunmeng quickly picked up the phone and answered.

Without waiting for Bai Meng to speak, he started to scold her: "Bai Meng! Do you know how many times I called you?"

"..."

Listening to Liu Yunmeng's scolding, Bai Meng didn't say anything. He just turned over on the kang and waited for her to scold until she felt comfortable and satisfied.

When Liu Yunmeng was cursing on the phone, Qi Wei and Gao Lian immediately took everyone and temporarily left the office to avoid hearing anything they shouldn't hear.

After cursing for more than ten minutes, Liu Yunmeng finally poured out his unhappiness, and what remained was only deep worry.

Pulling out a piece of paper and wiping the tears from his face, Liu Yunmeng yelled angrily: "Why aren't you talking? Are you mute?"

With so many missed calls and unread messages, Bai Meng certainly knew that she was worried about his safety.

And he really deserved to be scolded, if only he had taken out his cell phone earlier and called her back, or sent her a message to let her know he was safe.

But he just forgot and there was no way to wash it.

Listening to the sobbing from the other side, Bai Meng felt very guilty.

Just as he was about to say the words of apology, he swallowed them and replaced them with the words he wanted to say most at the moment.

"Sister Meng, I miss you."

It was quiet, even the sobbing of Liu Yunmeng on the phone disappeared.

Bai Meng lay flat and continued, "I have already arrived in Yingcheng, and am now in the old house of the Si clan. I have met many people and got to know many people."

"They all take good care of me, Sister Meng, you don't have to worry."

"I'll be back early tomorrow morning."

"You should also rest early and don't get too tired."

Liu Yunmeng wiped away her tears, held up her cell phone, and listened quietly to Bai Meng's words without interrupting.

The Si clan's attitude towards Bai Meng can be seen from the fact that the Liu clan's crisis was resolved as soon as Bai Meng arrived, but this does not mean that the Si clan will give up the idea of ​​separating them.

Liu Yunmeng is very clear about this.

I don’t know whether the Si people told Bai Meng about these things.

Liu Yunmeng asked carefully: "Xiaobai, did they say anything to you?"

Bai Meng stopped talking and nodded softly.

Liu Yunmeng's heart tightened and tears began to flow again.

Ever since her 18th birthday, she has never shed a tear, no matter how great the danger or injustice she has encountered.

These days are made up because of Bai Meng.

But Liu Yunmeng did not blame him. He only blamed himself for not being strong enough and not being qualified to have an equal dialogue with the clan.

Bai Meng felt bad listening to her crying, and comforted her: "Sister Meng, the old people are too traditional, and..."

"And what?" Liu Yunmeng pulled out a few more pieces of paper.

Bai Meng: "Besides the problem of traditional concepts, there is another more important point."

"The Si clan, or any existing clan, cannot own too large an industry."

"The reason they asked you to choose is because Liu is too big!"

Because Liu is too big! ?

Liu Yunmeng laughed sarcastically. What kind of reason is that!

For a family with a long history like theirs, shouldn't the more capital the woman can bring, the better?

How could they forcibly break up the business just because it was too big?

"Xiaobai, don't..."

Liu Yunmeng was just about to tell Bai Meng not to believe their lies, but then she remembered something and her face changed drastically.

She understood, she completely understood why.

The Si people don’t just look at a city or a place, but think about the problem from a higher level!

These clans have such a huge influence on traditional culture!

Moreover, they have their people in many military and political positions, although many of them hold sinecure positions.

But this also shows one thing, that is, the clan has the ability to communicate directly with the higher-ups!

The ability to have equal dialogue!

This ability is both a good thing and a bad thing, depending on how both sides view the issue.

As a clan that has been passed down for thousands of years, they are of course aware of the problems involved, so they are willing to take a step back and confine themselves within a framework.

The higher-ups are relieved about them and will definitely compensate them!

Both sides are fighting for this country, and it is hard to say who is right or wrong.

And having the ability to communicate with those above, he is willing to cut himself and take a step back.

This is something that many noble families cannot do!

This is also why they are a clan!

Thinking of this, Liu Yunmeng felt even more depressed. This kind of higher-level decision could not be broken by just Liu!

Afterwards, Liu Yunmeng chatted with Bai Meng for a few more private words. Knowing that he would be back tomorrow, he told him to have a good rest and hung up the phone.

Putting down his phone, Liu Yunmeng stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the city under the night sky.

"No wonder."

"The seemingly powerful clan is also restricted by rules."

"The question now is, Liu or Xiaobai!"

"They will definitely not let the chairman of the Liu Group become the daughter-in-law of the descendants of the Si clan!"

Sadness crept up on his brows again.

My heart was conflicted again.
