I Became the Little Demon in Leading Role's Family
Chapter 738 - 746 Your Time Is Only Half a MonthChapter 738: Chapter 746 Your Time Is Only Half a Month
Bai Zhi didn’t feel she had done anything wrong. At that time, she hadn’t considered regretting her actions. Of course, her cousin spoke the truth—if they were discovered, it would bring a lot of trouble.
But that was no excuse not to save someone’s life. If one day she could stand by and not provide help due to potential dangers, what would she become?
“Did you ever consider, if today, you couldn’t find a reason, would you still have saved them? Faced with the risk of being exposed, do you realize how significant you are now?”
Bai Xiang sighed. He certainly understood Xingxing’s point, but that was the difference between men and women.
That was a different perspective on things as Bai Family Village was already under the watchful eyes of every power.
If their cover was blown, what would they do?
Xingxing might not have considered this in her rushed act to save the man, but he couldn’t afford not to think about it.
“If the person lying there today was Bai Fei, would you still feel the same? Would you still consider those factors?”
Bai Zhi’s gaze grew colder. She had always thought of her cousin as a successful leader, but she had forgotten that a successful businessman puts all interests first—in his heart, the interest was what mattered most.
Although he indeed valued the Bai Family more, still…
“Do you know, if I hadn’t saved them just now, they would’ve died—Uncle and Wu La, as well as those innocent people, they are also someone’s brothers and sisters, they are also irreplaceable, and they are also lives.
We should respect life; that’s what we should do most.
There might be exposure, but I have no fear at all, our fear should not be the reason we put lives last. Do you understand?”
Bai Zhi addressed Bai Xiang directly, each word deliberate.
“How can you say that, you are my sister, it’s not a comparison. Bai Fei is also your sister…”
Bai Xiang furrowed his brows, slightly annoyed, and also deeply contemplating this matter.
He had never thought about it that way.
“See, you can’t even make that comparison, but how can you give up on other people’s lives, cousin… If everyone thought like this, if everyone thought it was okay to sacrifice a few lives for the benefit of many, what would the future look like? Think about it yourself.
Maybe I was a bit impulsive today, but I have no regrets.”
Bai Zhi didn’t regret; in that moment, she hadn’t thought of nothing.
The door suddenly opened, and both were startled. Although their voices had been low, at that moment, both felt somewhat alarmed, but they greatly relaxed upon discovering it was Wu Wa.
“You scared us to death.”
Bai Xiang even glared at Wu Wa when he said it.
Under normal circumstances, Wu Wa would have retorted by now, but now… Wu Wa’s face darkened, and he coldly regarded Bai Xiang.
“Bai Xiang, today I really got to know you, I understand now, I truly do.”
If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he wouldn’t have believed he could say such things.
“I’m grateful to Ah Zhi, I must tell you it was me who asked Ah Zhi to come rescue them, even though I didn’t know this was the method she would use, but, even if I had known, I think I wouldn’t have stopped her, Wu La or no Wu La.”
From a young age, Mommy had told him that a human life is more precious than anything else. Perhaps this was the biggest difference between him and Bai Xiang.
“I didn’t mean that, I only…”
Bai Xiang was somewhat helpless, realizing he couldn’t clear the misunderstanding.
“I understand, cousin, you think I handled it wrongly, Wu Wa, don’t overthink it, he didn’t have any bad intentions.”
In this, Bai Zhi still agreed—Bai Xiang wouldn’t have disregarded saving lives intentionally; it was just a slight bias between saving lives and risking exposure.
But to say he wouldn’t save lives at all, that would be going too far.
“Perhaps.”
Wu Wa glanced coolly at Bai Xiang and immediately approached Bai Zhi, tears falling nonstop.
Although she had seemed indifferent just a moment ago, but…
“Ah Zhi, you scared me to death, what would I do if something happened to you, what would I do?”
She was actually terrified, especially scared that something would happen to Ah Zhi, scared that something would happen to Wu La.
“It’s alright, don’t worry, I’m fine. Wu La and the others are not out of danger yet, it’s just temporarily contained. Wu Wa, I need to go to a place, but there will be a lot of trouble if I leave.
So, I need you to help me buy some time with Ancestor and my cousin.”
Bai Zhi’s gaze shifted towards Bai Xiang; if Bai Zhi were to leave, someone would have to stay and guard the Formation.
If it wasn’t for Bai Zhi’s current physical condition, she could go anywhere, but to save her, the two Jade Pendants were no longer sufficient unless they took out the tokens from both Bai Family and Wu Family and temporarily placed them in the Formation.
It was something Bai Xiang and Wu Wa had learned during their training, yet even so, it could only last for half a month.
“I can do it.”
Wu Wa nodded vigorously, willing to do anything she could.
“I can do it too,” Bai Xiang nodded just as vigorously,
but Wu Wa didn’t even give him a glance.
Ancestor soon returned, his expression grave as he looked at Bai Zhi.
“More and more people are affected, the bug must have gotten out. But I will have it investigated. You should hurry on a plane. I know you are very tired, but we have no choice,”
Ancestor clearly hadn’t anticipated the severity, that there would be those that got through.
“Only those bitten will be poisoned, luckily the more bites there are, the less potent the poison becomes, and as long as the source is there, it will return.
But Xingxing, you don’t have much time. I will have Moh Li meet you there, you need to depart simultaneously. You have to return in half a month even if you can’t find a solution, understood?”
Even with Ancestor’s prescription, it could only control the situation unless Bai Zhi found the Flame Grass.
“I understand, I’ll leave right away.”
Bai Zhi struggled to get off the sickbed. Although she hadn’t recovered, there was no time left.
Ancestor also informed the relevant authorities, expedited everything for Bai Zhi, and she boarded the flight with an IV drip.
Once on the plane, she even sat in first class just to continue her IV drip.
One hand on the IV drip, the other hand eating.
Numerous men in green uniforms accompanied her, all to find the antidote as quickly as possible.
But…
Bai Zhi looked at the fully prepared men, feeling somewhat embarrassed as she ate alone.
They were actually a special team, ready to handle emergencies, forever on standby to tackle the most urgent tasks, yet they never imagined that this time they would be escorting a little girl to the legendary Death Desert.
“Go ahead and eat more, in a while we have a long journey ahead. Once we get there, GPS won’t work anymore. Eat more to build your strength.”
The team leader Hann Lin looked at Bai Zhi as he spoke, his mission was to follow Bai Zhi’s lead once they reached the desert.
Although he couldn’t understand it, following orders was their duty.
In the next half a month, they would witness time and again just how…
