Chapter 1486: Chapter 831: Dare Not to Gamble
Brother Shan slightly narrowed his eyes. He had begun to regard Baldy with a new level of respect; he hadn’t expected Baldy to come up with such a remark.
It seems he really does have some brains to be able to say that.
Maybe this approach could indeed be effective.
But it’s uncertain if it would truly work.
Let’s just wait and see for now.
Ling Yu paused in his chess move, then turned to look at Baldy.
They were all focused, their gazes unanimously landed on Baldy without exception.
Feeling annoyed after hearing those words, Crescent Moon reacted strongly and immediately refused.
“Baldy, do you think I’m a fool? Would I possibly hand over my daughter to you? This is about the safety of my child.”
“How can I entrust my daughter to you? Who knows what might happen if I did?”
“She might end up with even worse shadows cast over her childhood. You’ve already scared her, and she is very fearful of you now.”
Crescent Moon dared not take the risk, after all, it was related to her daughter’s happiness.
And her childhood.
That’s why she was even more hesitant.
Everything should be done with more caution.
Thinking of this, Crescent Moon immediately added another comment, “Don’t assume she will like you, that’s impossible.”
Moreover, it’s her daughter, how could she not know what might happen?
Of course, she would know.
That’s why she’s stating all this here.
Once she finished her thoughts, Crescent Moon’s eyes became very serious.
It seems that it really is impossible to accept.
But Baldy couldn’t accept the current situation and, with a shade darker in his gaze, he spoke frankly.
“Crescent Moon, you haven’t even let me try yet, how could you know it won’t work? Besides, your daughter is already traumatized.”
“Why can’t you let me help to remove her fear? If it’s removed, wouldn’t that mean no more shadows?”
“Her childhood could be much happier. Please let me try, if you won’t even give me a chance, I feel that you’re afraid I’ll succeed.”
However, Crescent Moon found it utterly ridiculous and she couldn’t help but sneer, her face expressing utter disbelief.
How could it possibly be fear of that? She was merely worried that his actions would bring secondary harm to her daughter.
That’s why she emphasized so much here; no change was possible.
Yet Baldy still didn’t want to give up so easily, his face slightly darkened as he immediately pressed on.
“You won’t even let me try. Everything requires an attempt to know the outcome, you can’t just negate me outright.”
“And this is the best solution I could come up with, no other method will let me escape the predicament, only this one will.”
“I’m pleading with you here, for your daughter’s happiness, please agree.”
After finishing, Baldy slowly averted his gaze, knowing that it was useless to plead on his own.
He needed to find some supporters; perhaps their concurrence might change Crescent Moon’s mind.
After all, that’s how women are, if several people say it’s good, then she will likely believe it’s indeed good.
Baldy has already cast a meaningful look at the others.
Qin Yuan noticed it, but he chose not to be the first to speak.
The first to speak was Black Bear.
“Crescent Moon, I really think Baldy makes a lot of sense. Your daughter is traumatized because she was frightened by Baldy.”
“If you don’t help her out, she will always live in that shadow, and that’s absolutely not okay.”
“How can one forever live in the shadows? It’s detrimental to life and health, I think you might as well let Baldy have a try.”
Qin Yuan understood why Crescent Moon was refusing.
The refusal was for two reasons.
First, she was afraid of Baldy causing secondary harm to the girl.
That is, she feared that Baldy would not help the girl emerge from her trauma, or worse, deepen it.
Second, she was concerned that Baldy would take too long, resulting in the drug losing its effectiveness.
After all, Crescent Moon lied to them about having an antidote when in reality, there wasn’t one; they could only recover gradually.
So Crescent Moon still needed to give them something to ingest, pretending it to be an antidote, to prevent revealing the lie.
After reflecting for a moment, Qin Yuan suddenly thought of a very good strategy.
The corners of his lips curled up without restraint, then he spoke outright.
“Actually, I think Baldy’s suggestion is a good one, really worth a try, how else would you know the outcome.”
“Do you see any other way out of the shadow? As long as there’s hope, it’s worth a try, and Baldy now seems very sincere.”
“I’m sure he’ll do whatever it takes to placate the girl, so she won’t be scared, and after all, it’s quite easy to appease a child.”
Qin Yuan felt that it’s not just Crescent Moon’s daughter who is easy to coax.
But that girls are generally easy to appease.
If one truly puts in effort, there won’t be a girl who can’t be won over.
Qin Yuan observed Baldy’s emotions and noted that he seemed like someone who had found a lifesaving straw.
Baldy appears extremely excited, his body starting to fidget with anticipation.
A moment later, Qin Yuan slightly curved his lips, speaking in a slow yet firm tone.
“Effort will surely lead to success, but there should be a time limit. If the girl is not appeased within the allotted time…”
