So he never thought of telling the people above; he wanted to prove he was the most suitable collaborator.
But in Bai Zhi’s mouth, they had turned into discarded pawns, which they couldn’t just accept.
What was even more unbearable was that Bai Zhi had cracked Mu Yi’s ledger, which made them unsure what could happen tonight.
"Don’t rush to change your face, I haven’t finished talking yet. Later, we can go and watch, and see if they think you are insiders when they see you.
This plan sounds good, maybe throw in a smoke bomb too. What do you think it will turn into?"
Bai Zhi seemed delighted by her sudden brainstorm, even applauding herself.
"Oh my, how am I so clever? Tsk tsk tsk, it’s a bit embarrassing really."
The expression of Bai Zhi was somewhat asking for a slap, with a smug smile on her little face and her eyes showing three parts disdain and five parts contempt, as if to say, You’re all fools.
The two of them wanted to react physically again. But under so many watchful eyes, it really was...
The most frustrating part was that they couldn’t even beat her.
It was clear what they would face if all her plans came to fruition.
"Do you even realize what danger this puts our families in?"
How could those people ever forgive betrayers?
"What does it have to do with me? You did the deed, naturally, you must bear the consequences. You all can betray; are you afraid of the consequences?"
Mu Yi and Mu Fang knew very well whom they were dealing with, didn’t they? Impossible they didn’t, but from the moment they decided, they should have known this day would come.
Certainly, they wouldn’t let their families directly face danger. But this needed to be said, didn’t it?
"You’re not a child, you’re a little demon."
Mu Yi was the first to break down, he pointed at Bai Zhi, his voice quivering.
From the start, Bai Zhi never acted like a child.
"Hmm, I’ll take that as a compliment. Thanks, ha."
Mu Yi’s mouth trembled even more. Bai Zhi was too terrifying; she could guess so accurately and come up with such wicked schemes in such a short time.
Yes. These were the schemes of sowing discord.
Mu Yi and Mu Fang could only watch helplessly, unable to take any remedial action, not even able to warn anyone.
Tonight’s goods were raw materials, things that should never see the light of day. They were done for.
But still, they could say nothing.
"Where was I?" Bai Zhi blinked as if she suddenly forgot what she was talking about, and asked with a smile.
"Oh, I was talking about Mu Fang’s jealousy of Mu Yi, right? You probably don’t care for that Huifang either, right? Ugly is one thing, but taking off her makeup to reveal all those pockmarks, aren’t you disgusted?"
Bai Zhi looked at them quizzically; appearance might not matter, but for men, it somehow disgustingly does.
"And there’s one more thing. That child of hers is Mu Fang’s, making your relationship even closer, huh?"
Inside, both of them felt thousands of curses running wild; they didn’t situation one bit.
"There’s another thing you might not know. That Huifang has a good friend from their village, who is actually married to her."
Genuine married couple, you know, the kind with a marriage certificate.
