"You’re using these methods, how are we any different?" Goh Wen said with a dark face, his countenance crumbling at that moment.
"What do you mean by ’you’ and ’us’? We are all the same, oh, you mean the Special Action Team, right? It’s Xiao Qi, how many times do I have to explain it, I’m not one of them. So don’t impose his discipline on me, it’s useless. I’m just an average person. If you provoke me, I don’t know what I might do. Why don’t you try it?"
Bai Zhi blinked her eyes, seemingly looking forward to Goh Wen’s next move, unsure if she expected him to mess up or if she anticipated a situation she herself could not foresee.
"Then why did you come with him."
Goh Wen’s mouth twitched, feeling exasperated as if talking to this girl might cause his death, especially because the pill just melted in his mouth. He couldn’t spit it out.
He could now feel something was wrong with his body.
If Bai Zhi knew, she’d simply say it was psychological, just a candy with a medicinal taste for freshening breath.
But obviously, she couldn’t tell him that. Some people you just can’t treat too well, because if you do, they take advantage and lose respect.
Bai Zhi, holding on to Anran, walked ahead. The narrow path to the side only allowed one person to pass, and looking down from there would reveal a sheer cliff.
It was dizzying; however, Bai Zhi and her group were okay, whereas a few girls were so scared that they couldn’t move.
"If you don’t want to , you can stay here and watch over them. We’ll come back later to check which way to go."
Bai Zhi observed; their faces had turned pale with fear, and bringing them could be troublesome if there was danger.
A few girls and some men stayed behind, and Zhang Yu led four or five people with them.
"We can’t let you go into danger alone; you came to rescue us. Although I’m not very capable, I still want to do my part." Zhang Yu felt he still had some strength and absolutely wanted to help.
Bai Zhi looked at Xiao Qi, who nodded his head, which made her agree.
"Let’s go, regardless of whether it’s a dragon’s den or a tiger’s den ahead. But before that, those smoke grenades you have, just throw them; I’ve added something extra to them."
Bai Zhi added something extra to ensure everyone affected would go down.
They continued on the perilous path, not daring to look down, for looking would cause despair. They continued downward until they reached the bottom of the cliff, realizing the other side was a deep abyss with a different world below.
It was then that Bai Zhi’s group spotted a worksite and a few buildings not far off.
"Those buildings are where the girls are held. The other side is living quarters; men are sent there to work in the mines."
Goh Wen was very cooperative; he couldn’t have been more helpful.
His cooperation made Bai Zhi think that perhaps he wasn’t Xiao Qi’s man, otherwise, why would he be so obedient? Even Goh You wasn’t as compliant.
Xiao Qi and his team had gone to deploy the smoke grenades.
"Is Goh You really your son?"
Bai Zhi suddenly threw this at Goh Wen.
Goh Wen paused, then immediately scowled, furiously glaring at Bai Zhi.
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about, of course Goh You is my son, my own son."
