Chapter 430: The Only Night Watchman
“Isn’t he Bai Li Jing? How did he become Bai Li Tu Ming again?”
“Idiot, can’t you see? Bai Li Tu Ming and Bai Li Jing are the same person! It’s just that Bai Li Xin, in order to train his son, gave him the identity of an adopted son, allowing him to get involved in the group’s affairs early on. This way, he can participate in high-level decision-making without arousing flattery from others!”
“What a grand scheme! The Bai Li family truly has a grand scheme!”
“So, that business genius Bai Li Jing is actually the true heir? Bai Li Xin just took us on a detour? Isn’t this what everyone has been hoping for?!”
“With Bai Li Jing inheriting the entire Bai Li Group, the future of the Bai Li Group is bright!”
“Yeah, I was worried that Bai Li Tu Ming was just a spoiled rich kid, but I didn’t expect Bai Li Xin to give us such a big surprise!”
“…”
Standing on the high platform, Bai Li Xin saw the reactions of the guests and slowly began to explain:
“Perhaps some friends have already guessed it. That’s right, ‘Bai Li Jing’ is an identity I created for my son to train him… From the beginning, my Bai Li family has never had an adopted son. I, Bai Li Xin, have only one son in this life, and that is Bai Li Tu Ming.”
He patted Bai Li Jing’s shoulder beside him and said with satisfaction, “Fortunately, my son has lived up to my expectations and has made a name for himself within the group. Today, I hand over the entire Bai Li Group to him, and I can rest easy.”
In a corner.
Miao Su stared blankly at the unfamiliar figure on the stage, suddenly turning to look at Wei Xiu Ming beside her, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Captain… isn’t that Xiao Tu Ming? Why is this happening? Where did Xiao Tu Ming go?”
The other team members lowered their heads, as if they hadn’t heard Miao Su’s question.
Wei Xiu Ming sighed deeply and turned to Miao Su, “Miao Su… the Bai Li Tu Ming who was in our team before is not the real Bai Li Tu Ming. We have to accept this reality.”
“What do you mean?” Miao Su frowned, “What do you mean… not the real Bai Li Tu Ming? I don’t understand what you’re saying!”
She stood up from her seat, pointing at the figure on the stage, “That’s not Bai Li Tu Ming; we all know that, right?! What’s wrong with you all? Can’t you recognize Xiao Tu Ming?”
Wei Xiu Ming looked into her eyes and spoke apologetically, “Miao Su… we can’t give up our future for him.
With the support of the Bai Li family, we can quickly become a team with strength second only to Shangjing City in the entire Great Xia, or even surpass them. At that time, honor, merit, and wealth… won’t they all be within our grasp?
We won’t have to risk our lives fighting those powerful ‘mysteries’ anymore. With strong power and the support of forbidden items, we can easily crush those ‘mysteries’!
Enjoying life while enjoying honor… can you really bear to give up such a future?”
Miao Su stared blankly into Wei Xiu Ming’s eyes. This captain, who had fought alongside her for eight years, felt so unfamiliar at this moment…
She turned her head to look at the other team members, who deliberately avoided her gaze, remaining silent.
Suddenly, Miao Su felt she no longer recognized this team.
“So… you accepted the benefits of the Bai Li family and gave up on Xiao Tu Ming… is that right?” She realized the underlying issue and spoke hoarsely, “Is this still what it means to be a Night Watchman?”
She pulled out a shiny emblem from her pocket, her voice trembling.
“Do you still deserve this emblem?”
“Wei Xiu Ming! Tell me, what is written on the back of this emblem? Read it! Read it out loud!”
“If the dark night descends, I will stand before millions…”
“What about Xiao Tu Ming? Isn’t he one of those millions? Isn’t he our comrade?”
“You can abandon your own comrade; has your conscience been fed to the dogs?! Over these years in Guangshen City, how corrupted have you become by the Bai Li family?!”
She tightly gripped the emblem, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes. Gritting her teeth, she spoke slowly:
“Since you all fear death and are unwilling to oppose the Bai Li family…
Then let me do it alone! I’m not afraid of death! From the day I became a Night Watchman, I never thought about living the decadent life you all long for!
I became a Night Watchman to protect! Not for merit and honor!
Today, I will tell the Bai Li family here!
Guangshen is not their world.
If you won’t be Night Watchmen… I, Miao Su, am the only Night Watchman in this city!”
A determined glint flashed in her reddened eyes as the emblem in her palm gently spun, a small silver needle popping out. Her fingers slightly bent, ready to pierce it into her own body.
At that moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind her, gently pressing against her temples.
A member of Team 010 stood behind Miao Su, his palm emitting a faint green light. He looked at Miao Su’s back, his eyes filled with helplessness…
Miao Su’s movement froze in mid-air, her gaze gradually becoming hazy, and then her body softened as she fainted.
Wei Xiu Ming reached out to catch Miao Su and gently laid her on the ground.
“Captain… what should we do?” Old Han couldn’t help but ask, “When Sister Miao wakes up, she definitely won’t let this go.”
Wei Xiu Ming looked down at the unconscious Miao Su, his gaze flickering. After a long time, as if he had made a decision, he slowly closed his eyes.
“Then… let’s not let her wake up.”
Hearing this, several team members shuddered.
“But… she’s Sister Miao!”
“Since we’ve already given up one team member, what’s another…? As long as we do it cleanly, when the next ‘mystery’ descends, we can throw her to them and let the ‘mystery’ kill her. No one will know; sacrifice is just a normal thing for Night Watchmen.”
Wei Xiu Ming’s tone was icy cold, “We can’t turn back now.”
The team members fell into silence simultaneously.
…
“This Bai Li Tu Ming is not what I imagined.” The Ninth Seat stood beside Shen Qingzhu, slowly saying, “The previous descriptions from the ‘Believers’ who participated in hunting Bai Li Tu Ming said he should be a chubby guy… It seems he has lost quite a bit of weight recently.”
Shen Qingzhu remained silent, merely staring at the unfamiliar face, his eyes slightly narrowed.
…
On the high platform, Bai Li Xin scanned the reactions of the crowd, a satisfied look appearing in his eyes.
“Next, let my son speak to everyone…”
“He is not Bai Li Tu Ming.”
Before Bai Li Xin could finish his sentence, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
He frowned slightly and turned to look.
A black-haired youth in a suit walked slowly from the window, his expression extremely grim.
“What have you done to him?”
