Bai Xin held Bai Zhi’s hand, slowly following Bai Dan into the car, watching the scenery outside the window as it slowly receded.
Yet her heart was incredibly excited, truly unable to wait to see the look of Mu Yi’s world shattering.
Was she turning bad recently?
No, no, no... she just wanted to let herself go.
"Xingxing, what should we say to make him despair? At first, should we give him a heartfelt confession, and then pull off a sudden reversal?"
Bai Xin felt that it was completely possible.
To hit him with despair when he’s especially happy—that feeling was truly good.
That might be wrong, maybe she could even help probe for a confession.
All this time, it had been her father and Xingxing protecting her, she should give something back.
"Aunt, as long as you’re happy, just go wild."
Bai Zhi looked at her aunt’s eager expression and smiled as she spoke.
"Right, Xingxing is right, you can say whatever you want at the meeting, it’s just that someone will be there. I hope you can understand that."
Right now, Mu Yi’s situation was such that he couldn’t be visited alone; there needed to be someone present, even if it broke protocol.
"Dad, I understand, I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused you."
Bai Xin actually felt a bit sorry; it must have been hard for her dad to arrange for her to see Mu Yi.
"No, we also want to observe his emotional fluctuations through your meeting. It won’t affect whatever you want to say, it’s fine."
Currently, Mu Yi wanted to see someone, and that person was Bai Xin. He hadn’t agreed or disagreed; if his daughter were unwilling, he might also persuade her, because this matter was extremely complicated.
"My girl, I’ll admit it to you. Even if you’re reluctant, maybe I would have asked you to see him, not for anything else, but at least to break his composure. Or to say, to have an emotional fluctuation, so we can find an entry point."
This was his responsibility; he had to be accountable for many people, not just as a father to his daughter.
But, he would also give his daughter a choice...
"Dad, what are you talking about? Even if you don’t say it, I also want to do something for you. You’ve been protecting me all this time; I want to do something too."
She had always been proud of her dad’s job; her dad was a hero.
"Well, we won’t interfere with your conversation; you can just go with the flow."
When they arrived at the municipal bureau, Bai Zhi and Bai Dan each held one of Bai Xin’s hands, supporting her.
Bai Xin’s heart felt very warm, very warm.
Bai Xin walked into the meeting room; it was not large, and he sat on the other side of the table, with a comrade standing next to him.
Bai Xin sat on this side, with no one next to her.
What Mu Yi didn’t know was that they could also hear their conversation from outside.
Mu Yi’s lips moved slightly, looking at Bai Xin with a mix of emotions, thinking that he would never see Bai Xin again.
It was ironic. When they first met, he had ulterior motives. Later, he even took action against her, with a clear purpose—to obtain intelligence from her and her brother.
A man’s life can either go unnoticed or rise above others; what is a man without ambition? He didn’t regret. Only, there were some regrets, for not instructing Mu Yu properly, allowing her to slip up.
"I didn’t expect that you would still be willing to see me."
He knew that he was about to be taken away, but before that, the person he wanted to see the most wasn’t his mother, nor Mu Yu, not even that son, but Bai Xin...
