Chapter 555: Chapter 555: Terminally Ill Heiress on Death Game Island (71)
Qiann Yan heard the slight tremor in Bai Huai’s voice and did not push him away.
Though she struggled to empathize with others, she understood that he must be feeling terrible. So, she chose to give him a hug, hoping he’d soon return to being the cocky, cool, and slightly arrogant person she met during First Meeting.
After three minutes, Bai Huai recounted everything he had done along the way.
"Yanyan, what should we do now?"
"Go and get Huo Yi and Fang Qing over here."
Fang Qing and Huo Yi arrived, feeling a bit bewildered when they learned they could leave. Was it really that easy?
"Bai Huai and I will go first. You both need to sabotage all equipment in this game arena. Destroy whatever you can; with your abilities, you should manage it. At dawn, reveal the truth to everyone and bring them over. And keep an eye on Jing XiYuaan, don’t let him escape."
Bai Huai wheeled Qiann Yan to their previous location, asking on the way, "How should we deal with them? Do we need to call the police?"
Qiann Yan said, "No need."
"We’ll leave them to the people in the arena. After being imprisoned for so long, they’ll need to let off some steam."
Bai Huai had heard her say this before, and he could actually guess the reason.
Leave them to vent—does Yanyan have such a kind heart for these people?
"These people are loaded. What if the people in the arena can’t resist temptation and lead them out?"
Qiann Yan: "There will always be one or two who refuse."
Bai Huai didn’t quite understand human nature. Since Qiann Yan said so, he felt An Xin.
Qiann Yan recalled Bai Huai’s earlier low spirits and asked, "Why were you unhappy before?"
"I was sold here, by my own father." Bai Huai’s voice still pained, he lamented the family he’d longed for over a decade was gone, "You said I should go out and live well, return to that happy family, but that’s impossible."
"My mom didn’t give up, but she passed away years ago."
"Yanyan, I have nowhere to go."
Qiann Yan stared into Bai Huai’s pitiful and helpless gaze, falling silent. Was he asking for her help?
"I haven’t lived outside for over ten years, I have no idea what to do," Bai Huai continued, "Luckily, I have you."
So, he’s clinging to her?
"Yanyan, you won’t abandon me once we’re out, will you?"
"If you find it bothersome, forget it; even if I end up deceived outside, it’s nothing. After all, I lost my mom and was shunned by my own father; I’m just unlikable."
Qiann Yan: "..."
"Once we’re out, you’ll come back with me."
Her small thoughts didn’t escape her notice. Seeing him as hard-working and obedient, and quite clever, she might as well take him back. On second thought, it might be good to bring him back. The Ling Family’s large estate could use someone to manage it.
Rather than entrusting it to an unfamiliar person, use this someone somewhat familiar.
Bai Huai’s mood lifted, but he noticed Qiann Yan’s gaze seemed off. He was just too happy to think too much about it.
Yay! He succeeded.
Success ensured that once they’re out, he could cling to her side without being cast away.
Bai Huai wheeled into Zhang Yunhui and the others’ line of sight. Seeing Qiann Yan sitting in the wheelchair, growing thinner, their eyes involuntarily filled with fear.
This girl, afflicted with a terminal illness, destroyed their game.
"These are their communication devices." Bai Huai pointed at the heap of phones nearby, "Yanyan, do you want to call someone at home?"
"Not for now."
