Chapter 23 Chapter 23. Infectious
Disease
The members of the Bai family tried to recall if Bai Yan had ever contracted such a disease.
After thinking about it, they did not recall any signs of Bai Yan getting sick.
They wondered if the illness would suddenly act up without any warning.
They were all warriors, so their reactions were slow. However, the butler and Bai Ning’er were exceptions.
“Luo Li, what are you shouting about?” Bai Ning’er took the lead, “You used guessing his illness as an excuse to scold my brother? Do you think we’re fools and that we can’t tell?
Unfortunately, our Bai family is brilliant. We won’t believe your words!”
After she finished speaking, I saw that Bai Yan, who was starting to think about his illness, was slightly stunned.
Bai Ning’er’s words were like a slap to Bai Yan’s swollen face.
However, Bai Yan could not say it, so he could only keep his words in his heart and pretend that he had already seen through me.
“Miss, there’s no need to get angry with such a low-level person.” The butler stepped forward and comforted Bai Ning’er. “You are the young lady of the Bai family. You are noble. It is not worth it to be angry with him.”
After hearing the butler’s words, Bai Ning’er suppressed her smile and nodded slightly.
“Uncle Butler is right! Ning’er doesn’t want to lower her status.
Argue with Luo Li? He’s just a tool for me to extend my life. If he’s angry, then it’s Ning’er who’s looking for trouble.”
The butler smiled in relief. “Miss is smart. You are indeed the pride of the Bai family.”
Bai Ning’er’s heart was filled with warmth. She nodded slightly and said sweetly, “Thank you, Uncle Butler.”
As for me, I just looked on indifferently, thinking that they didn’t know their place.
Did they think they were superior just because they had a good family background? If the Bai family didn’t rely on the foundation of their ancestors, how could they have their current status?
But could the Bai family still be said to be at its peak?
I learned from Catherine that the Bai family is gradually weakening under the management of the Bai family’s head. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to act as ‘security guards’ for a stronger family.
Their pride and confidence came from the
shaky families behind them.
The butler’s voice immediately pulled me
back from my thoughts.
“Luo Li, watch your mouth.” After comforting Bai Ning’er, the butler scolded, “You’re only a prisoner of the Bai family now. How dare you slander our young master?”
The butler’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness. “The Bai family has a hundred ways to make you wish you were dead. When the time comes, I’d like to see if your mouth will still be as annoying as it is now.”
The dog that guards the house is just like its
owner.
The Bai family’s butler was like the Bai family’s dog. Wherever Bai Yan and Bai Ning’er pointed, he would bite.
No wonder he could become a butler, flattering and begging for survival. “Oh? That’s amazing. Should I clap and scatter flowers for you?” I raised my
eyebrows.

…
The butler noticed my nonchalance and
almost pointed at my nose to scold me.
After taking a deep breath to calm himself down, the butler smiled sarcastically. “You don’t think I’m joking, do you?”
Pfft, how could that be? I’m waiting to see what the butler has up his sleeves.
I wasn’t afraid. My expression didn’t even change as I looked at the butler indifferently.
The butler was flustered by my stare and retreated silently.
A paper tiger? He said he was powerful, but he didn’t have the ability or the courage.
“Luo Li, you can continue pretending! Do you think the butler is teasing you?” One of the
Bai family’s guards spoke.
“Haha, he’s of the lowest class. Of course, he thinks that the butler is just scaring him.” “Stinky fellow, our Bai family is a martial arts
family. We have a hundred ways to make you submit. It’s not an exaggeration.”
“You’re too full of yourself. You’re just an ant
that can be trampled to death anytime in the Bai family.”
“Our young master and young mistress are
merciful. How could they ask for your kidney if they wanted to punish you?”
“That’s right; he should be made to suffer! He should be crying and begging for mercy!” “I want to see the look on this arrogant brat’s
face when he begs for mercy.”

…
Because of his stance, more and more members of the Bai family started to curse at
me.
It could be said that he used his power to
bully others to the extreme.
However, why didn’t he look at his
appearance?
Their young master can’t save himself, yet he still has the time to mock me.
It should make people laugh. “Why do you have to run against this trash?”
Bai Yan, who had been silent, suddenly said, “Help me sit down. I am exhausted now. I don’t have time to deal with Luo Li.
I’ll play with Luo Li and show him the Bai family’s methods when I’m well.”
He laughed evilly as if he was thinking about
the scene of him torturing me in the future. Those who laughed so hard that their faces were oily would throw up the meal they had last night. Luckily, I didn’t overeat yesterday. “You’re right, young master,” The butler
stepped forward and was about to support Bai Yan.
I looked at him quietly and didn’t refute him.
There was always retribution for doing too many bad things.
The Bai family’s butler? Let’s start with him. “Naturally, whatever I say is right is right,” Bai Yan said smugly. “Whatever I say is wrong is wrong.”
The villain got his way.
He was about to get up with the butler’s help
when the butler’s smile suddenly froze. He stopped abruptly, and then, under everyone’s gazes, he also clutched his chest,
showing an expression of pain. The next moment, his veins popped, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
That appearance was the same as the Bai Yan
from earlier.
Because of his lack of strength, the butler
collapsed to the ground and almost knocked
Bai Yan down.
Bai Yan subconsciously took half a step back, a little disdainful.
“What’s going on with this guy?” Bai Ning’er
was the first to react. She covered her mouth and cried out.
“It hurts… It hurts so much!” The butler couldn’t bear the pain and clutched
his chest tightly. He even rolled around in
pain.
In the main hall of the Bai family, the butler’s painful wails lingered.
“What’s going on?” Bai Ning’er also stepped
back silently. “Has butler ever had such symptoms before? This …”
Her brain was working at full speed.
It was the same for Bai Yan and the butler.
Even the condition of the illness was the same.
Even if Bai Ning’er deliberately did not
consider it an infectious disease, it could not stand against irrefutable evidence. She could not say it out loud, which caused
panic.
However, the guards and servants of the Bai
family, no matter how stupid they were, could
find some clues from the similar symptoms of Bai Yan and the butler.
“Is this an infectious disease?”
Someone said.
This sentence was like a vast stone being thrown into the water, causing the water’s calm surface to surge with violent waves,
unable to calm down. “It’s not impossible, “The symptoms are the same. I don’t believe
it’s not an infectious disease.”
“I don’t believe it either.”
“We all have eyes. Could I have been
infected?”
“It’s contagious if you get close to him. Who
else got close to the young master just now? ” “Don’t tell me that some of us have already been infected? It’s so scary.”

…
For a moment, everyone in the Bai family
retreated.
Bai Ning’er was the smallest, but she ran the fastest. She cherished her life. In less than ten seconds. They completely isolated the butler, ‘Sick’,
and the confused Bai Yan in the middle of the
main hall.
The two of them were like helpless floating ducklings.
