At 9:30 in the evening, Leng Yue arrived at Bai Xue's house.
With Bai Xue's status, naturally, she ca in freely. But Bai Xue wasn't ho, so what was she doing here?
Stealing the antidote.
Yes, she deliberately made a call to Bai Xue before leaving, pretending that Xiaofan was in a bad mood and wanted to talk, just to confirm if Bai Xue was at ho.
After confirming, she imdiately rushed to Bai Xue's house.
As long as she could get the antidote to the captain, the captain could break free from Bai Xue's control.
Familiar with the place, she entered the house. Without taking any detours, she went straight to Bai Xue's office.
She believed the antidote must be hidden there.
Recalling when Bai Xue received her reward, she returned to the house and handed the captain the first antidote to the White Scorpion right here, then made him take the White Scorpion in front of her.
Rembering that ti clearly, Leng Yue recalled that from the mont Bai Xue ca back to when the captain took the White Scorpion and received the first antidote, Bai Xue never left this room.
In other words, the likelihood that the antidote was stored in this room was very high.
Leng Yue cald down, her mind clear as she considered the situation.
Then, she began searching the room.
She rummaged through everything, checking all possible places. Not a single pill was found, except for the docunts Bai Xue used for work.
That's not right. The antidote, which concerns the captain's life, surely wouldn't be kept sowhere easy to find. After all, if it's not stored properly, it will lose its original function.
Sure enough, after searching for another half an hour, Leng Yue finally found a hidden compartnt.
Thank heavens, she ultimately found a bottle in the hidden compartnt. As she opened it, a sweet scent wafted out.
Indeed, this bottle contained the antidote to the White Scorpion. Now all she needed to do was get it to the captain.
"What are you looking for?"
At that mont, a low voice ca from behind Leng Yue.
The voice sent chills down Leng Yue's spine.
With a slightly frightened look, she turned around to see Bai Xue standing there.
"Bai Xue, weren't you busy with sothing outside?"
"Yes, originally I was busy, but I suddenly felt sothing was off, so I ca back to take a look." Bai Xue glanced at the open hidden compartnt and the bottle in Leng Yue's hand, continuing, "You took the antidote to give it to the captain, right?"
Feeling sothing was off? Actually, nothing in the call Leng Yue made earlier had given away any clues. But Bai Xue is inherently suspicious.
Leng Yue knew she was busiest at that ti, yet she made the call about the captain's mood being bad, which seed unusual.
Because Bai Xue arranged Leng Yue's job to comfort the captain's mood, it was quite normal to report to her, but usually, Leng Yue would only call about sothing very important. Though she too knew the captain was in a bad mood, since he had already gone to sleep, it seed redundant for Leng Yue to call then.
If Leng Yue had said more, Bai Xue might not have suspected, but the hurried end to the call was suspicious.
However, even so, Bai Xue never imagined Leng Yue would betray her, so she continued her work without much thought.
Yet, after finishing a task, stretching and still feeling uneasy, Bai Xue called the security at ho to ask if Leng Yue had been there.
The front gate security naturally hadn't noticed, but the back door recorded Leng Yue's return via fingerprint entry.
After receiving this news, Bai Xue sensed sothing was wrong and imdiately dropped what she was doing to rush ho.
In the room, looking at Leng Yue and the reality before her... she was caught off guard.
"Bai Xue, please have rcy on the captain," Leng Yue pleaded.
"Let him go? Leng Yue, do you know what you're saying? Do you know how important he is to ? In less than a month, you've seen how our family has changed, haven't you? In the future, he can do things for our family that we cannot achieve ourselves."
"You're already an elected official involved in politics, what more do you need? Have you forgotten? In XG, who was it that helped us through so many hurdles? Without him, we would've died in XG." Leng Yue tightly gripped the bottle, speaking passionately.
"Yes, am I not treating him well now? Doesn't he eat well? Or live well? If he needs money, there's money. If he wants won, I give him won, however many he wants. I don't believe that even if won from Japan don't compare to the nightingale in his heart, ten of them? Even a hundred? How can one hundred won not asure up to one?" Bai Xue's emotions were also stirred.
"No, Bai Xue, you don't understand. You don't understand what kind of life the captain desires."
"I understand, I just hope he can accept the life I arranged for him." Bai Xue imdiately retorted.
"You're too selfish," Leng Yue continued.
"I'm selfish? It's because I love him. I don't want to give him up."
"But you already agreed to marry Lingze. With the military's help, your power will only continue to grow, what more are you worried about?" Leng Yue pressed on.
"If he's willing, I can give up the marriage alliance with the military. But he won't even tell a single lie." Bai Xue gritted her teeth.
"Then let go, let him go... Don't keep holding on to him. He was born a free leopard running on the vast plains, he'll never beco a ta little kitten." Leng Yue sighed.
"No. I can't let him go. Miss this chance, and it's a chance missed forever." Bai Xue said coldly.
"Then you can choose to give up everything and leave with him." Leng Yue continued to persuade.
Indeed, in relationships, if both parties are ard, forcing a hug only leads to mutual hurt unless one can shed their spines, ignoring their injuries and pain to accept the other's spines.
Xiaofan would never abandon everything in Huaxia to stay in Japan, and as for Bai Xue? A woman? What use is power? Moreover, forcing a relationship has no result, holding on stubbornly is worse than letting go. At this mont, is Bai Xue persistent or selfish?
