Chapter 429 – The Heir
”Isn’t he …… he Baili Jing? How did he become Baili Tu Ming again?”
”Idiot, can’t you tell! Baili Tu Ming and Baili Jing are one and the same! It’s just that Baili Xin, in order to train his own son, put an adopted son’s identity on him and let him go and get in touch with the affairs of the group ahead of time, so that he can participate in high-level decision-making in a legitimate manner without causing others to fawn over him and show their favor!”
”What a great stroke, the Baili family is really a great stroke!”
”In other words, that business wizard Baili Jing is actually the real heir? Only Baili Xin made a detour with us? Isn’t this what everyone wants?”
”With Baili Jing inheriting the entire Baili Group, the future of the Baili Group is bright!”
”Yes, I was worried that Baili Tuming was just a rich second generation who was a loser, but I didn’t expect Baili Xin to give us such a big surprise!”
”……”
Standing on the high platform, Baili Xin saw the reaction of the guests and slowly opened his mouth to explain:
”Perhaps there are already friends who have guessed, that’s right, ‘Baili Jing’ is an identity I put on my canine son in order to train him …… Since the beginning, my Baili family has not had any so-called adopted sons, I, Baili Xin, have only had one son in this life. It is Baili Tu Ming.”
He patted the shoulder of Baili Jing beside him, and said with relief, “Good thing that my canine son also lived up to my expectations, and broke into his own world within the group, and had something to do, and I am relieved that I handed over the entire Baili Group to him today.”
Corner.
Miao Su stared blankly at the unfamiliar figure on the stage, and violently turned his head to look at Wei Xiuming beside him, his eyes full of puzzlement.
”Captain …… that’s not Little Tu Ming ah? Why is it like this? Where did Little Tu Ming go?”
The other team members lowered their heads, as if they hadn’t heard Miao Su’s question.
Wei Xiuming let out a long sigh and turned back to Miao Su, “The Baili Tu Ming that was in our team before Miao Su …… is not the real Baili Tu Ming, we have to accept this reality.”
”What do you mean?” Miao Su frowned, “What do you mean …… not the real Baili Tu Ming? Why can’t I understand what you’re saying?”
She stood up from her seat and pointed at the figure on the stage, “That’s not Baili Tu Ming, we all know it by heart ah? What’s wrong with you guys? Can’t you all recognize Little Tu Ming?”
Wei Xiuming gazed into her eyes and spoke apologetically, “Miao Su …… we can’t give up our future for him.
With the support of the Baili family, we will soon become a squad that is second only to Shangjing City in terms of combat power in the whole of Daxia, even surpassing them, and by that time, won t reputation, merit, and wealth …… all be at our fingertips?
We no longer need to tie our heads to the waistband of our pants to fight those powerful ‘Mysteries’, with great strength and forbidden objects, we will be able to easily crush those ‘Mysteries’!
Enjoying life while enjoying honor …… Such a future are you willing to give up?”
Miao Su looked at Wei Xiuming’s eyes dumbfounded, this Captain Wei Xiuming who had fought side by side with her for eight years was so strange at this moment ……
She turned her head back and looked at the other squad members, who deliberately avoided Miao Su’s gaze and were silent.
Suddenly, Miao Su somewhat did not recognize this team.
”So …… you guys accepted the benefits of the Baili family and gave up Little Tu Ming …… is that right?” She figured out the tricky part of it and hoarsely opened her mouth, “Are you guys like this …… still considered night watchmen?”
From her pocket, she pulled out a shining coat of arms, and her voice began to tremble.
”Can you all still afford this coat of arms?”
”Wei Xiuming! You tell me, what is written on the back of this coat of arms? You read it out! Read it out!”
”If the Eclipsing Night finally arrives, I will stand before ten thousand people ……”
”What about Little Tu Ming? Isn’t he one of the thousands? Isn’t he our comrade-in-arms?”
”You can even abandon your comrades, is your conscience fed to the dogs? During these years in Guang Shen City, what have you been corrupted into by the Baili family?!”
She clutched the crest tightly, tears flowing uncontrollably from her eyes as she clenched her teeth and spoke word by word:
”Since all of you are afraid of death, all of you are unwilling to make an enemy of the Baili family ……
then let me come alone! I am not afraid of death! From the day I entered the Night’s Watch, I’ve never wanted to live the crummy life you all aspire to!
I came to the Night’s Watch for protection! Not for merit and honor!
Today, I’m going to tell the Baili family here!
Guangshen, it’s not their world.
If you don’t become Night Watchmen …… I, Miao Su, am the only one in this city!”
A flash of determination flashed through her reddened eyes, the crest between her palms gently rotated, and a small silver needle popped out of it, her fingers slightly flexed, about to stab it into herself.
Just at this moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind her, and gently pressed on top of her temples.
A 010 squad member stood behind Miao Su, his palm emitting a faint green light, he looked at Miao Su’s back, a helpless color surfaced in his eyes……
Miao Su’s movements stopped in mid-air, his eyes gradually became disoriented, and then his body went soft and he directly fainted.
Wei Xiuming reached out to catch Miao Su and gently placed him on the ground.
”Captain …… what should we do?” Old Han couldn’t help but ask, “When Sister Miao wakes up, she definitely won’t stop.”
Wei Xiu Ming looked down at the sleeping Miao Su, his eyes flickered, and after a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly closed his eyes.
”Then, don’t let her wake up.”
Hearing these words, the bodies of several team members were shaken.
”But …… she’s Sister Miao!”
”Since we’ve already given up one team member, what’s wrong with giving up another …… one? As long as we do it cleanly and wait until the next time the ‘Mystery’ descends to throw her over there for the ‘Mystery’ to kill her, no one will know about it, sacrifices, for the Vigilantes, are nothing more than a normal thing.”
Wei Xiuming’s tone was icy cold, “We, there is no turning back.”
The members of the team fell into silence at the same time.
”This Baili Tu Ming, is not quite the same as what I imagined.” The ninth seat stood next to Shen Qingzhu and slowly said, “The [believers] who had previously participated in the pursuit of Baili Tu Ming described that he should be a fat man …… who seems to have lost a lot of weight in this period of time.”
Shen Qingzhu didn’t say anything, he just stared at that unfamiliar face in silence, his eyes slightly narrowed.
On the high platform, Baili Xin’s gaze swept over the crowd’s reactions, and a look of satisfaction surfaced in his eyes.
”Next, let Inuyasha talk to everyone ……”
”He is not Baili Tu Ming.”
Before Baili Xin’s words fell, an icy voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
He frowned slightly and turned his head to look.
A black-haired teenager in a suit walked slowly from the window, his face gloomy.
”What have you …… done with him?”
