The whole truth
There were a great many people who had not agreed with the change in 2027 that had been led by the Numbers, since it came with an incurable disease from plasma radiation.
The 3 big families of Beijing—the Xu family, the Tang family, and the Long family—were all against it. Then, they had been decimated by the Numbers!
There were only a few people who were left alive. The reason why these 2 were still alive was because they had been living by themselves for a long time now.
It would be impossible to say that they were not angry about this, but they did not have anything to fight against the Numbers anyway. It was tough enough for them to feed everyone in their care.
Three years later, in 2030, Xu Xue Ning had passed away from that incurable disease. Three years later, it was Long Xu In, and Li Lin also passed away 2 years after that.
Not only Bai Chen and his three wives, but his parents and Li Lin’s had also passed away because of the illness.
