"Bai Zhi, I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just wanted to come and ask you, did you ever bully your brother? Now there’s no need to ask; I’m under your control too, aren’t I?
Where did you learn such crooked tricks at such a young age?"
Bai Da still wouldn’t admit it, and didn’t even seem the slightest bit guilty. If there was any guilt, it was only just now.
Bai Zhi frowned. Could it be that Bai Da really had a dual personality?
But that Bai Da seemed to understand everything perfectly. Or was he pretending to be foolish and stunned?
After all, the Bai Da who could do such things, acting foolish and stunned, it would be quite normal.
"You don’t need to pretend to be foolish and stunned anymore. If you won’t admit it, it doesn’t matter. I will make you admit it.
I naturally think that threatening and tempting isn’t very good, but now I think ’severe torture’ is a good term."
Bai Zhi desperately wanted to know the answer now. Guessing and the actual answer were completely different things.
The meanings were different, but she was afraid to know the answer, yet she had to know.
Bai Zhi stood up and walked towards Bai Da once again.
"Bai Da, are you sure you won’t tell the truth?"
Bai Zhi wanted to give Bai Da one last chance, a choice between pain and extreme pain.
"I am your dad, and you dare to call me by my name? Do you want to turn the world upside down?"
Bai Da’s face darkened even more, as if he had plunged into enormous anger.
"You’re not my dad, are you? Since that’s the case, I’ll make the choice for you."
Bai Zhi squatted down and began to remove needles, all of them, just as Bai Da thought he was finally free, he found he still couldn’t move.
It was like running in the darkness for a long time, then seeing a light and getting excited, only to find out that it was fake.
That feeling of seeing hope and then despairing in an instant, Bai Da now looked at Bai Zhi with an extra hint of caution.
Bai Zhi took out a Golden Needle again and stuck it directly into Bai Da’s hand, causing a painful and numb rush that almost made him collapse. Just as he was getting a little accustomed to it, it suddenly became even more painful.
"What exactly did you do to me?"
Bai Zhi smiled faintly, her gaze on the Golden Needle even warmer.
"What did you do to me, then? I must also have needles in my body, right?"
As Bai Da struggled in pain and showed a look of horror, memories suddenly burst forth in his mind.
The young Bai Zhi had always been crying; every once in a while, she would feel heart-wrenching pain. Ye Xiu thought it was because Bai Zhi missed her, but that wasn’t it.
Someone had placed embroidery needles directly into the body of a young child,
In the knees, the hands, there were needles.
That’s why she was so afraid of needles. As a child, she had no memories, but that fear was deeply ingrained in her soul.
"What nonsense are you talking about... I don’t understand what you’re saying."
Bai Da snorted coldly and closed his eyes.
"You understand, how could you not understand? How about this, if you don’t understand, I will go and stick needles in Nan Xi, since you said she’s not your daughter anyway. You don’t have to worry; however many needles I have, I’ll stick that many into her body, okay?"
Bai Zhi’s voice was devoid of warmth, her eyes cold.
"You wouldn’t dare, what gives you the right to bully Xixi, Bai Zhi, you little bastard. Why don’t you go die; you wouldn’t dare."
Bai Da howled in heart-wrenching pain, completely breaking down, covered in snot and tears, looking utterly helpless and truly ugly.
