"Hurry up and leave this place immediately! There is a house in the west of the city that has been specifically assigned for you all. If you don't leave I will beat you."

"Oh? You'll hit me? Will it be one on one or will you all attack at once as a group?"

"You wouldn't dare! My son is the Head of the municipal party committee."

"My grandfather is a member of the State Council."

"You..."

"Sir, please cooperate. When the military investigated, it found that this house was temporarily uninhabited. These are drastic times, so it wasn't only yours, but other houses have also been requisitioned by the army..."

"My young master will return to his home very soon, so get lost! You have illegally intruded into this house. Since when has the army started to trespass on people's homes?" Cao Lei spoke fiercely as he refused to give into to their demands by even an inch.

After hearing this, Bai Jing was finally satisfied. His bodyguard was finally working hard for his benefit. A cold voice was suddenly heard coming from the entrance as he entered the house: "Who dares to take my property."

"Young Master." Wang Xuebing's face flashed with joy. There was such a great commotion last night that he was still extremely worried that the young master might have gotten into an accident.

"Young Master." Qin Yi nodded his head as his face relaxed with relief. Since the outbreak of the virus, there have people constantly coming to the house to harass them. Finally this morning they decided that they would take advantage and commandeer the house. But when all is said and done, they could do nothing since they weren't the masters of this house. So the return of the young master was a very good thing.

The man in front was stunned for a moment before feeling embarrassed. He didn't think that the rightful owner of the house would return. Even before he could figure out how to solve this conundrum, the old woman immediately started quarreling. Right from the start, she hadn't taken Bai Jing seriously, instead, she was extremely bold, thinking that now that the rightful owner was back, they could easily solve this dispute. So she dismissively said: "You must be Bai Jingcheng's son right? I am a very close acquaintance of the Zhou family. This house had been given out by the government and it is now in my possession. Take your people to the house in the west of the city; I won't waste my time bickering with you. One day when I see Mrs.Bai, I might help you by saying a few good words on your behalf."

Bai Jing's face turned shades of blue and green as his heart filled with hatred anew. The people in this room might not recognize him, but he remembered them all clearly. In his the last life, immediately after he had left with the army escort. Yan Gang – who was the man who had been standing at the forefront- together with this old woman, were the main culprits who caused Wang Xuebing's tragic death.

"Bang!" a gunshot sounded.

"You..." The woman's eyes widened as she looked at the blood that was pouring out from her chest, and then she looked at Bai Jing who was holding a gun before collapsing onto the ground and dying. Everyone in the room was flabbergasted.

"Ah! You killed her!" The woman's family shrieked, as a child in the room burst into tears.

Armed soldiers rushed in and surrounded Bai Jing. No one had anticipated that Bai Jing would suddenly open fire, even still, that he completely had no qualms doing so in front of so many witnesses. Furthermore, he did so while fully aware of the woman's identity, and in front of military men.

Cao Lei's facial expression changed as he realized that the situation had suddenly become troublesome. If this had been an ordinary civilian, then there wouldn't be a problem. However, she was the mother to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. He could easily dispatch the army to come here and investigate the matter. Worse still, this old woman also had ties to the Zhou family.
