Chapter 1509: Chapter 842: Taking Advantage of Someone’s Peril_2
At this moment, Qin Yuan slightly raised his eyebrows, his tone becoming even calmer.
“This is a bit too much, it’s completely unfair to Crescent. You all should give Crescent some trust. If this continues…”
“I guess Crescent will really be provoked by you all, and perhaps the relationship between you will become even more complex. There’s no need to let things get to this point.”
“I have said as much as I can. You can take your time to think about it. After all, you hold the power to decide, make your own decision.”
Upon hearing this, Baldie’s face still flashed a hint of confusion.
But in the end, he still looked to Brother Shan, wanting to see what Brother Shan thought.
After all, Brother Shan had been very skeptical from the start.
Just at that moment, Brother Shan slightly blinked.
But he didn’t speak.
What did this silence mean? How were they supposed to choose now?
Could it be that nothing would be said? But that would be utterly unacceptable.
After all, no matter what, he was their big brother. Not saying a word was just too much.
There should be some response, after all, the big brother was doing this for their sake.
He didn’t want things to get too complicated.
But truly, they didn’t know how to choose, it was such a difficult decision.
Baldie was already becoming anxious.
But he still turned his head to glance at Brother Shan.
Brother Shan raised his eyebrows, then suddenly asked back.
“Can you give a definite time? How long exactly are we supposed to wait?”
Qin Yuan instantly became silent because he did not know how much time exactly either.
Moreover, hadn’t Crescent made things very clear from the start?
They needed to wait, mainly because no experiments had been conducted yet.
How could they possibly know when?
Qin Yuan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling somewhat helpless, but still emphasized.
“Brother Shan, have you forgotten? Crescent has already said that the antidote has never been tested on anyone.”
“So we don’t know how long it will take to work, but it will definitely work, it’s just that the time is unclear, which is why I asked you to wait here.”
“It’s precisely because the time is unknown that we must wait. If the time were clear, I wouldn’t have you waiting here, you’re all smart people.”
After Qin Yuan finished speaking, he said no more. In fact, his meaning was very clear.
That, being smart people, they would surely know how to choose.
He didn’t need to state it too explicitly, now it was up to what they thought.
Brother Shan instantly narrowed his eyes, but in the end, he still didn’t say anything.
He didn’t know what to say next, it was now a moment of silence.
But he felt what had been said did make some sense, so could it be that nothing should be said?
In the end, Brother Shan still chose to say nothing.
And he knew Baldie wouldn’t opt for silence.
So, let Baldie speak.
After all, Baldie’s words did carry some weight.
They couldn’t be completely ineffective.
Just at that moment, Baldie immediately shook his head.
“I’m already completely exhausted, yet you still want me to keep waiting here, not knowing how long I have to wait. Who can accept that?”
“I certainly can’t. I just need an answer; without one, I can’t let this matter rest.”
“After all, I’ve already spoken to this extent; I feel I’ve done a pretty good job, so don’t disappoint me.”
After saying this, Baldie immediately shifted his gaze away.
His attitude was very resolute.
Qin Yuan chose to remain silent.
No one around spoke.
But the expressions on the audience’s faces revealed something unusual.
They all widened their eyes.
But soon enough, a voice broke the silence.
“So what exactly is the situation now? Why do I get the feeling that they haven’t managed to sort things out?”
“Of course, they haven’t managed to sort things out. When will this ever end?”
“Who knows, we’re just here to watch a joke unfold, not really contributing anything.”
“This can’t even be considered a joke. Don’t take things too far with your words, or you might be courting trouble.”
“Yeah, let’s not court any trouble.”
They spoke with utmost seriousness.
Their voices were still quite low.
Despite the quietness, Qin Yuan overheard them.
Yueya, however, was getting annoyed and immediately glanced at the audience around her.
“You’ve never had a right to speak from the beginning, you’re just here to watch the show. How dare you get greedy?”
“Better to stop pressing your luck and not voice so many opinions. If you must say something, keep it quietly in your heart.”
“Don’t let me hear it, I don’t like listening to this stuff. Do you understand what I’m saying? No, you don’t understand.”
Yueya’s face still bore a threatening expression, her fists slightly clenched together.
She swept a cold gaze over everyone present.
And with utmost calmness, she squeezed out a sentence from between her lips.
“Otherwise, I won’t be standing here talking to you so nicely.”
Upon hearing this, the spectators dared not speak any further.
Silence began to spread among them.
They were truly afraid now; who would dare to upset Yueya?
A whipping might befall them, which was absolutely to be avoided.
So indeed, they were truly afraid.
And really did not want to make any more mistakes.
Seeing them so silent, Yueya naturally showed a hint of satisfaction on her face.
But she only slightly curled the corners of her mouth, and then said nothing more.
After a while, Baldy glanced at Yueya and then scoffed coldly.
“On what grounds do you get to stop them from continuing to speak? I think they’re absolutely in the right. You’re the only one who’s incorrect.”
“Besides, how can you stop them from speaking? Isn’t that too excessive? You have a whip, so what?”
“Can you beat all of them? They haven’t done anything wrong from the start. If there is a mistake, it’s yours.”
Hearing this, Yueya became extremely displeased.
But even so, her face gradually darkened.
She began to swing the whip in her hand.
Baldy saw it coming, but he couldn’t dodge.
Moreover, he truly had no strength left in him, even if he wanted to dodge, he couldn’t.
So before Yueya could whip him, Baldy spoke up directly.
“Yueya, you can’t lay a hand on me, not with all these witnesses. If you do, how will you explain it to everyone?”
“Don’t you think you’re being too selfish? I’m just expressing my opinion, yet you react violently. What are you thinking?”
“Besides, I really can’t muster any strength at all, are you really going to take advantage of me like this?”
Baldy hit the nail on the head.
His words were crystal clear.
Nevertheless, Yueya’s lips curled into a cold sneer.
“Baldy, you keep provoking me with your words, so am I not allowed to retaliate? Blame yourself for being too annoying.”
“If you hadn’t enraged me, none of this would have happened, so the responsibility is not mine, it’s yours.”
“You must pay the price for your actions. Don’t cry here after you get beaten.”
Having said this, Yueya was indeed continuously swinging her whip.
It seemed it would soon make contact with Baldy’s body.
Fear appeared on Baldy’s face as his eyes widened involuntarily. Instinctively, he looked to Qin Yuan.
“Big brother, please help me out, I’m really innocent here.”
