In the Xia family's antique study room filled with the fragrance of books, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.

"How did you get this video?"

Xia Jie, the head of the Xia family, Xia Yuwei's father, stared at his daughter Xia Yuwei and Lin Bai beside her with a deep and majestic voice.

As the head of a first-class family, Xia Jie naturally has a strong aura that belongs only to the superior.

However, unlike the arrogant and cold Zheng Jian, Xia Jie is more gentle and elegant.

Just looking at his appearance, Xia Jie is undoubtedly a first-class handsome man. Even Lin Bai, who has the blessing of the system, is ashamed of himself at this moment.

Xia Jie's resolute face is like a knife and an axe, with clear edges and corners, and thick eyebrows are like ink.

And the slightly white hair on his forehead adds a bit of the charm of a mature man to him.

Although he looked calm on the surface, both Xia Yuwei and Lin Bai could clearly feel the raging anger rising from the depths of Xia Jie's eyes.

"I asked a friend to help me get the video." Facing the stern questioning of his father-in-law, Lin Bai was not in a hurry and answered calmly.

"You can get the video of Youyue Pavilion? It seems that your friend is not ordinary!" Xia Jie nodded thoughtfully, revealing a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

In response, Lin Bai just smiled lightly and did not explain any more.

"System, check Xia Jie's basic information."

Name: Xia Jie

Age: 50

Height: 181

Weight: 160

Appearance: 95

Love value: 34

Hate value: 13

Tsk tsk tsk, it turns out that the father-in-law doesn't like his son-in-law at first sight.

"Tell me, what do you want?" Xia Jie spoke again.

"Dad, Lin Bai doesn't want to exchange the video for anything, he is here to help us." Xia Yuwei explained quickly.

Xia Jie looked at Lin Bai with interest, "Help us?"

"Yes, I have heard from Sister Yuwei that Xia Group is in deep trouble now, so I want to do my best." Lin Bai said lightly.

"Oh? If I am not mistaken, you should be only about 20 years old?" Xia Jie's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Well, I am 21 years old and I am studying at Yecheng University now."

Xia Jie stared at Lin Bai in a daze. After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"I am very grateful that you can send such an important video, but there are some things that you, a college student, cannot change."

After saying that, Xia Jie intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the two people's hands that were still intertwined.

Lin Bai chuckled indifferently.

"I can't change the predicament of Xia Group by myself, but I still have my uncle."

Xia Jie looked surprised, "What do you mean?"

"The biggest predicament of Xia Group now is the shortage of funds. If I can solve the problem of shortage of funds, with Uncle Xia's ability, it shouldn't be a problem to bring the group back to the top, right?" Lin Bai said slowly.

"Can you solve the shortage of funds?" Xia Jie raised his eyebrows, obviously not so convinced.

"I know this is a little unbelievable, but I think I should be able to do it." Lin Bai said with great confidence.

Xia Jie's heart was already in turmoil at this moment. With his eyesight, he could naturally feel that what Lin Bai said was true.

As for the situation of Xia Group, I'm afraid no one is more familiar with it than him. The loss hole is not something that can be solved by 100 million or 200 million, otherwise he wouldn't be worried about his hair turning white.

However, the 21-year-old young man in front of him was actually confident that he could help him fill the hole. How could he not be shocked.

After some thought, he still rejected Lin Bai's tempting proposal.

"No need, my Xia family doesn't need an outsider to save us, you can leave now."

"Dad, please think about it again! Apart from Lin Bai, no one can help us! Can you really bear to watch the group being swallowed up by Zheng Jian, that villain!" Xia Yuwei said anxiously.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jie immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph, a lean camel is bigger than a horse! If Zheng Jian wants to swallow up my Xia family's industry, he must first consider whether he has the ability!"

At this moment, the anger in Xia Jie's eyes seemed to be about to burst out, burning fiercely and getting hotter.

"But this group is your hard work for many years!" Xia Yuwei's voice was a little crying, and tears were rolling in her eyes.

Others may not know how much effort and sweat Xia Jie has put in for the Xia Group, but as a daughter, how can Xia Yuwei not know?

Other people's childhood memories are filled with happy scenes of playing and having fun with their fathers; but she rarely has such memories.The opportunity to enjoy a warm father-daughter time with Xia Jie.

Because Xia Jie almost stayed in the group all year round, often staying there for a whole day.

Often when Xia Jie dragged his exhausted body back home, Xia Yuwei had already been wandering in his sleep for a long time.

"Alas, if it really comes to that, I will definitely try my best to protect you and your daughter." Xia Jie sighed, his face full of helplessness.

"No! Absolutely not! I will never allow this to happen!" Xia Yuwei couldn't help but screamed, and her body trembled slightly with excitement.

The next second, Lin Bai came up.

"Don't get excited first, let me talk to Uncle Xia."

After comforting Xia Yuwei, Lin Bai looked at Xia Jie.

"Uncle Xia must have some concerns about refusing my help?"

"Concerns?" Xia Yuwei had a question mark on her face.

Lin Bai's mouth curled slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, Uncle Xia should be worried that it will implicate me, so he refused."

Xia Yuwei was slightly startled, "Dad, is what Lin Bai said true?"

Xia Jie looked at Lin Bai with a complicated look, and sighed for a long time.

"Since you know everything, why do you still want to wade into this muddy water?"

He and Zheng Jian have known each other for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are close friends.

When the Xia Group got into trouble, he thought that someone was behind it, but he never thought that this person would be Zheng Jian.

If it weren't for Lin Bai, he probably didn't know how long he would be deceived.

So he was undoubtedly grateful to Lin Bai, and that's why he didn't want to implicate Lin Bai.

Since Zheng Jian had planned it in advance, he naturally made a foolproof plan.

He didn't even have absolute confidence in protecting the Xia family and the Xia Group, so how could he drag his benefactor into it?

What's more, even a fool could see that his daughter had an unusual relationship with Lin Bai.

If he really loses in the end, Xia Yuwei will still have someone to take care of her.

So no matter what, he can't accept Lin Bai's kindness.

"If I say I'm not afraid of the Xia family, then Uncle Xia won't refuse again, right?" Lin Bai suddenly said.

"What do you mean?"

"To be honest, actually..."
