Chapter 1461: Chapter 818: The Desire for the Antidote_2
“Actually, what I want to ask is, if Yueya really doesn’t have an antidote, do you know about this? Did you come to deceive us together with Yueya?”
“Or was it Yueya alone who deceived us? Do you really know anything or not? If you do, then you colluded with Yueya to deceive us.”
In fact, what Brother Shan is thinking is, if they are deliberately deceiving people.
Then could this contract be considered void?
But this is just a thought, it’s still not clear whether the contract can be voided or not.
As the thought settled, Brother Shan’s complexion became even gloomier, and his brow furrowed tightly as he continued based on what was just said.
“Then there must be a reason for what you’re doing, right? Isn’t it all a tactic to turn us into your underlings? Can I think of it that way?”
“Actually, this is just a speculation in my heart. Whether I can think this way depends on your explanation. Indeed, you owe us an explanation.”
“We can’t wait here for too long, after all, we don’t have much time to wait around. We have already been exhausted for a long while.”
Hearing these words, Qin Yuan showed a hint of reaction on his face, and then his movements in playing chess suddenly paused.
His hand also remained suspended in mid-air, hesitating to put the piece down.
The surrounding atmosphere fell into an unprecedented silence, becoming incredibly delicate.
Although Ling Yu heard all these words, he was also observing everything before him.
He felt that everything before him was really too complicated.
If it continues to become this complicated, he really wouldn’t know what to say anymore.
At that moment, Brother Shan still mustered the courage to say another sentence.
“If we keep feeling so exhausted, what then? We can endure it, yeah. Not just us, even you can’t withstand it.”
The reason Ling Yu was playing chess so slowly was because he was exhausted.
Normally, he could play many rounds, but now he could only manage a fraction of that, hence the slowness.
The bald man had felt something was off when Yueya didn’t show up.
Having heard that, his eyes suddenly lit up, and hope sparked within him.
Therefore, the bald man began to speak incessantly.
“If you really colluded to deceive us, we would be very upset. After all, I still believe that we should interact honestly.”
“One should not deceive the other like this. Isn’t such deceit creating distance between us? This is not a good thing for us.”
“You are an adult, you must understand what I’m saying. How should we resolve past issues if you truly deceived us?”
Having said this, the bald man still observed Qin Yuan’s expression.
He wanted to see if Qin Yuan would get angry because of these words.
If Qin Yuan got angry and said something rather normal.
But the bald man didn’t notice anything off about Qin Yuan’s face; it appeared very calm.
At that moment, the bald man gained even more confidence, and his tone inevitably became heavier.
“What will you do to make amends? Do you want the contract to be voided? After all, it’s a contract we weren’t willing to sign.”
“If there is really an antidote, we would be willing; if not, we really cannot be willing.”
“So now you should give us an answer. We shouldn’t remain silent for too long here. We don’t have the patience.”
Now that it’s gotten to this point, could it still be met with silence?
Besides, why hasn’t there been any reaction after hearing these words?
The chess-playing has not continued, the hand has always been hanging in mid-air, isn’t that tiring?
Or perhaps something was heard that shouldn’t have been, and now one is thinking about how to resolve the issue?
Thinking this, the bald man felt even more certain they had been duped.
Although Ling Yu was looking at the scene before him, his face remained expressionless.
He did not speak.
Actually, he was just observing and listening, completely unaware of how things would unfold.
So for the moment, he could not make any comments.
Since they have something to say, let them speak.
Let them be the bad guys, no need to rush.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of a radiant smile appeared on Ling Yu’s face.
Qin Yuan saw that their emotions were becoming somewhat unstable, he narrowed his eyes and at last began to speak slowly.
“I know you guys are afraid of being tricked, but I really don’t know anything about it. Yueya said there is an antidote, so I believed what Yueya said.”
“Honestly, I am not shirking responsibility here. It’s just that I originally had confidence in Yueya, yet I think what you’ve said…”
“It might happen too, so all we can do now is wait for Yueya to come out. That’s the only way.”
After these words, Qin Yuan briefly glanced at the cabin.
He still didn’t see Yueya’s figure and wasn’t sure what Yueya was doing now.
Could it be thinking of running away? But there’s no way to escape, if it really comes to that.
Then one would have to jump into the sea, and if that happens, it’s likely to be life or death unknown, after all, this is the deep sea.
Moreover, Yueya has a daughter, would she really take her daughter to face death?
Is it really to feed the sharks?
Qin Yuan thought for a moment and felt that Yueya shouldn’t do such a thing.
Yueya would probably be calm, but this is just Qin Yuan’s guess.
He doesn’t know how things will develop.
The words Qin Yuan had just said were also meant to stabilize them, to stop them from having wild thoughts.
After all, currently the only way to know the truth is to wait for Yueya to come out.
At first, he really believed that Yueya had the evidence, but now it seems there might not be any, otherwise Yueya wouldn’t have disappeared for so long.
And Yueya was already behaving oddly before entering the cabin.
At this moment, Baldy was still somewhat uneasy, his expression growing more and more complicated. He raised his head to glance at the cabin, becoming even more anxious.
“Big brother, are you telling the truth? Do you really know nothing about this matter? Aren’t you just delaying things here? Or was your earlier…”
“Just deceiving us by going along with it, if that’s true, we’ll definitely feel very let down.”
“After all, we trusted your integrity and chose to follow you as leader. If you treat us like this, how could we accept it?”
In fact, they really knew that this guy was very capable, not only skilled in chess, but also good in a fight.
Even his art of conversation is excellent, so choosing him as their leader felt very right to them.
But if petty schemes were used, they would feel heartbroken.
Besides, they were just concerned about being pressured into signing the contract quickly just to get their hands on the antidote.
Though they would sign the contract sooner or later, being forced to sign had a different implication.
Baldy already had this concern.
And he looked over at them.
Noticing their faces were very grave.
Unsure what they were trying to express.
At such a time, Baldy didn’t pursue further questions.
Just then, Ling Yu couldn’t help but speak up.
“Baldy, no need to say so much here. Didn’t big brother already say? Let’s wait for Yueya to come out and talk about it.”
“No need to rush to discuss these things now. When Yueya comes out, everything will be clear. I’m still playing chess with big brother right now.”
“Aren’t you just disturbing our enjoyment by talking so much? Let’s just wait a bit longer, it hasn’t been that long.”
Ling Yu was now easing the atmosphere.
And in doing so, he was also helping Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan’s face had been complicated, but hearing these words, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
“You’re quite the smooth talker, aren’t you?”
“Of course, don’t you know who I am?” Ling Yu said proudly.
