Chapter 338 The truth shocked everyone, and the night watchman
The banquet hall exploded instantly, and the guests seemed to have pressed the "shock" button, with all kinds of exclamations and discussions coming one after another.
"Holy crap! So Baili Jing'er is actually Baili Tuliang? This move is awesome!"
"I told you, this kid from the Baili family is really good at hiding his true intentions, but now he's completely exposed."
"Tsk tsk, the Baili family is really generous, making it like a spy drama, this trick of hiding the truth is amazing!"
"The young are truly formidable! It seems the Baili family has a promising future!"
Exclamations and shouts of surprise merged into a noisy symphony, filling the entire banquet hall.
Baili Xin'er stood on the high platform, smiling with such smugness, as if she was the director of this drama.
She raised her glass, motioning for silence, and then said with a look of relief, "Everyone, yes, Jing'er is Tu Liang. This is the arrangement our Baili family made to train him."
"He has always been very hardworking and talented. Now that he has come this far, as his mother, I am so relieved!"
She spoke with such sincerity, as if she were a loving mother who was proud of her son.
However, Wu Hen felt that this old lady was definitely a movie queen and the Oscars owed her a little golden man.
Miao Suer looked at the so-called "Bai Li Tu Liang" on the stage, her brows furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
She nudged Wei Mingxiu beside her and asked in a low voice, "Captain, what...what's going on? Why do I feel like something's wrong?"
Wei Mingxiu sighed, patted Miao Su'er's shoulder, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Alas, Su'er, you are still young. You will understand some things slowly."
“Sometimes, the truth isn’t what matters, it’s the choice that matters.”
Miao Suer looked at Wei Mingxiu in confusion. She felt that the captain was acting strangely today and his words were incomprehensible.
At this time, Wei Mingxiu looked at Miao Su'er with complicated eyes, and said silently in his heart: Su'er, you'd better not know too much. Sometimes being confused is also a kind of happiness.
At this moment, a voice with a hint of joking broke the deadlock.
"Hehe, old lady, are you sure the one on the stage is your real son?"
A young man in plain clothes appeared at the door of the banquet hall.
He put his hands in his pockets, his eyes full of amusement, and his tone was light, but it was like a bomb that instantly detonated the entire audience.
The young man casually glanced at the people on the platform, and finally his eyes stopped on Wei Mingxiu.
He smiled slightly and said softly, "Captain Wei, long time no see."
The air in the banquet hall seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on the young man who suddenly appeared.
Wei Mingxiu's pupils shrank, and a hint of barely perceptible panic flashed across his face. Then he regained his composure and said with a forced smile:
"Hey...friend, who are you? I'm afraid it's inappropriate to say such things at the Baili family's banquet, right?"
Wei Mingxiu moved closer to Miao Su'er and said in a low voice, "Su'er, listen to me. The Baili family is very wealthy. Cooperating with them will only benefit us."
"Think about it, with their resources, our Night's Watch equipment could be upgraded, and the welfare of our brothers could be greatly improved. What's wrong with that?"
Miao Suer looked at Wei Mingxiu with a confused look on her face. The upright captain in her memory seemed to become unfamiliar.
"Captain, I don't understand... Is Baili Jing'er actually Baili Tuliang? We've been investigating for so long, are we just going to let it go like this?"
Wei Mingxiu sighed, "Su'er, you are too naive. Sometimes, the truth is not important, what is important is..."
“What matters is the profit, right?”
Miao Suer interrupted Wei Mingxiu, her voice trembling.
"You have all changed. For the benefit of the Baili family, you are willing to give up even your comrades!"
She looked in disbelief at her teammates who had once fought side by side with her. Now their faces were filled with numbness and indifference.
"Miao Su'er, stop talking!"
A member of Team 010 scolded impatiently,
"The Baili family has given us so many benefits, why should we still work for that ignorant Baili Tuliang?"
Miao Suer took out the Night Watch's emblem tremblingly and held it tightly in her hand.
"Look, what does it say on the back of the coat of arms? 'Night Watchmen, guarding the dawn and protecting the land!' Now, are you worthy of these eight words?!"
Her voice became hoarse with excitement and her eyes gradually turned red.
The banquet hall was silent, with only her rapid breathing echoing.
She looked around.
Suddenly, she slammed the coat of arms on the table and said, "Since you have all forgotten your duties as Night's Watchmen, I will guard the place myself!"
Miao Suer's heart was burning with rage, and her little hand tightly grasped the emblem of the Night's Watch.
She took a deep breath and suddenly raised her neck, as if to announce her determination to the whole world.
"For the faith of the Night's Watch, I, Miao Su'er, will protect Guangshen even if I am alone!"
Although her voice was weak, it echoed in the banquet hall like a thunderclap.
Just when Miao Suer was about to stab herself with the silver needle ejected from the emblem,
A member of Team 010 quickly moved from behind her and knocked her unconscious with a brutal blow.
Miao Suer's body fell backwards softly, and Wei Mingxiu quickly stepped forward and caught her steadily.
He lowered his head to glance at Miao Suer's pale and determined face.
The team members looked at Wei Mingxiu's expression and felt a chill in their hearts.
The captain, who has always been upright, now seems so cold and ruthless.
One of the team members whispered, "Captain, are you...really going to do this?"
The wrinkles on Wei Mingxiu's face were like those cut by a knife. He gently put Miao Su'er on the ground.
There was an unshakable firmness in his tone: "Su'er, you are a good child, but there are some roads that you are not suitable for."
"From now on, not letting Miao Suer wake up is the best option."
The team members looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and anxiety.
They exchanged uneasy glances with each other, but no one dared to refute Wei Mingxiu's decision.
At this time, the teasing voice came again from the door of the banquet hall.
"Haha, this is a really touching scene."
Wei Mingxiu suddenly raised his head, staring at the young man at the door with eyes as sharp as an eagle, and his heart tightened.
Jiu Xidi and Shen Qingzhu stood behind the young man, with a hint of confusion in their tone.
"You said that the Baili Tuliang on the stage is really not the real Baili Tuliang?"
Jiu Xidi touched his chin and looked at "Baili Tuliang" on the stage with suspicion.
"That's strange, Baili Tuliang doesn't look like a tough guy, does he?"
"How dare you steal time? I thought it would be a muscular man, or a sinister and cunning guy, but it turned out..."
He shrugged, spread his hands, and looked like, "That's it?"
Shen Qingzhu also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I also feel that something is wrong."
"I've heard before that Baili Tuliang was a fearless man who dared to challenge gods. But now it seems that he's a bit...cowardly."
The two looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Isn't the difference between Baili Tuliang and what they imagined too big?
At this time, Baili Xin'er looked at Baili Tuliang with a kind face.
She said softly, "Tu Liang, come and say hello to everyone."
Baili Tuliang nodded slightly and was about to speak when suddenly a sneer came from the door.
"Haha, Madam Baili, are you sure that the person on the stage is your precious grandson?"
The air in the banquet hall froze instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on the ordinary-dressed boy at the door.
He put his hands in his pockets, his eyes were cold, and he exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
Baili Xin'er's expression changed slightly, and she pretended to be calm and said, "My dear friend, what do you mean by this?"
The young man sneered and walked towards the platform step by step.
Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the heart of the crowd. "My point is very simple. The person on the stage is a fake."
He walked up to Baili Tuliang and looked down at him condescendingly, his eyes as sharp as a knife. "Is that so?"
"Baili Tuliang"'s face was pale, his lips were trembling, but he couldn't say a word.
The young man's eyes swept over everyone, his tone cold.
"The real Baili Tuliang should be in a very 'special' place now."
He deliberately emphasized the word "special" and looked at Wei Mingxiu meaningfully.
"Captain Wei, what do you think?"
Wei Mingxiu's face was gloomy and he said nothing.
The young man sneered and suddenly reached out to grab Baili Tuliang's collar.
"Since it's fake, there's no need to keep it."
He exerted a little force with his hands.
"Baili Tuliang's" face turned paler in an instant and his breathing became rapid.
"Stop!" Baili Xin'er shouted sternly.
The young man slowly turned his head and stared at Baili Xin'er with cold eyes.
"Madam Baili, you'd better not interfere."
He paused, his tone grim.
"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."
