These people were already a ragtag bunch. Hearing these words, they truly became completely panicked, seemingly finding everyone’s speech believable.
They would look at Bai Xiao for a while, then at Bai Mei.
What to do?
"Sister, I want your Instructor An to die right before your eyes. I really want to see if your heart is as tough as it seems!" Bai Mei raised the remote control in her hand.
The sense of superiority in her gaze, she was waiting for Bai Xiao to kneel and beg for mercy. The most Bai Xiao could do was to blow up that money, but what Bai Mei was threatening could take lives.
Today, she was determined to take Xiaodao’s place, to change the regime and usher in the new era of Sister Mei, Bai Mei.
But Bai Xiao didn’t even blink an eye.
"Go ahead, press it. If I even blink, I’m not a Bai."
Shao Ming watched, terrified.
"Don’t! Don’t press it, let’s all talk nicely. Why must it come to life and death? It’s just about the money. Take it and leave, we’ll take our people and go. Why can’t we part on good terms?"
An Zhiyuan could recognize the device on him; once it exploded, it would be immensely powerful, and at least for those close by, not a single person would end up intact; surviving with just a missing arm or leg would be considered lucky.
This was no child’s play.
His men could take her out with a single shot, but one misstep and she could still press the button in that situation. He wouldn’t gamble with his life.
"Bai Xiao! Beg me!"
Bai Mei wanted to see Bai Xiao submit.
She would never be satisfied until she saw Bai Xiao crushed under her feet.
"Bai Mei, don’t waste your energy. I won’t beg you. Press it if you’re going to; if not, then get lost and stop blocking my way."
Bai Xiao wanted a quick resolution.
An Zhiyuan had already recovered quite a bit; her special ability had healed many of his internal injuries. External injuries couldn’t be treated safely for the time being, and in front of everyone, she couldn’t let people gaze at An Zhiyuan as if he were some kind of monster.
But this part had been enough to restore Zhiyuan’s vitality.
"You think she wants to be your boss? Wake up! Your Sister Mei wants to swallow all the money for herself. If you don’t believe me, go and see if there are poisons in those dishes! After you fight for her life and death! With just one victory drink, no one will notice as you all drop dead, and then Sister Mei can take all that money and fly far away, living a happy and carefree life. How nice."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mei’s face changed drastically, her gun now pointing at Bai Xiao.
"Don’t listen to her nonsense! Kill her now."
Yet no one acted, all staring at the dishes on the table. Curly hair rushed forward with great strides, flipping the table over, and the dishes crashed to the floor, spilling everywhere. Someone from outside brought in a dog, and upon seeing the feast on the floor, the big wolf dog devoured it voraciously.
Bai Mei, at that moment, wanted the dog dead, but how could she dare? Killing the dog now would be a blatant admission of her guilt.
She was sweating coldly, unable to think of a way out.
As the saying goes, desperation breeds audacity, but no matter what, Bai Xiao must die today.
Must die.
Her handgun aimed at Bai Xiao, she pulled the trigger.
"Pfft..." A sound, and the handgun in Bai Mei’s hand was knocked away, her fingers broken, blood gushing out.
She clutched the remote control in her other hand, her last resort.
The wolf dog continued to eat joyfully, then everyone saw it whimper a few times, foam at the mouth, and roll over with its eyes turned white.
A chill went down their spines.
All eyes unwelcomingly turned towards Bai Mei.
