Xiao Xiaosheng was afraid that she still didn't understand, so he had to patiently explain to her carefully, "I didn't go to the police station. It's really not because I'm afraid, but because it's useless to go."
"Think about it carefully. This is the 21st century, not ancient times. If she really wants help, wouldn't she just call Jiang Yan? Wouldn't that be faster than asking you to go to the police station in person?"
"Can't you see how serious the situation is? By the time you get back from the police station, the grass on Wen Wan's grave will probably be two meters tall! You're rushing to get help, do you think this is a costume drama?"
What Xiao Xiao said did make sense. After hearing this, Jia Xibei lowered her head silently. The words that Wen Wan told her when she was squatting in the corner kept ringing in her mind.
"The Taoist Association... forget it!"
"They are just a bunch of weak soldiers. Only Taoist Li is strong enough. Let's not bother them!"
The Taoist Association is full of weak soldiers and Taoist Priest Li is already very old. Even if he comes to support, he can't help at all. So asking for help is fake, and the real purpose is to trick her into leaving.
When she figured it out, her heart instantly sank to the bottom, tears rushed out, and she murmured in despair: "She lied to me, how could she lie to me!"
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she finally understood. He patted his chest a few times and said thankfully, "Thank God, you finally understood!"
"Whether she wins or loses, it's her own battle now. No one can help her. Now that we're out here, we should stay away to avoid being affected."
Jia Xibei had his eyes closed at this moment, and no one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes and uttered one word very seriously, "No!"
Xiao Xiao asked in confusion, "What did you say?"
"I said, no!" Jia Xibei repeated loudly, his eyes very determined, "I want to go back and help her!"
Xiao Xiao's body suddenly jolted, and he shouted in disbelief: "Are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
Jia Xibei responded with a normal expression, "I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm going back to help her!"
Xiao Xiao looked at her as if she were a fool. "Are you really crazy, or has Wen Wan cast a spell on you? It's very dangerous in there now. We finally got out, and now you're telling me you want to go back?"
Jia Xibei sniffed and spoke his thoughts with a resolute expression, "I'm not crazy, nor have I been bewitched. She made up so many lies to keep me alive, and she went to great lengths to send me out, choosing to face danger on her own."
"If I didn't know the truth today, I might have escaped by doing what she said. But now that I know the truth, how can I let her fight alone in there!"
Xiao Xiao was also in a complicated mood at this time. "I think... you two are crazy. One of you could have chosen to do nothing, but you insisted on risking your life for a group of strangers! The other was finally sent out and could have lived well, but you insisted on going back to die!"
"Why do you care so much about other people? What does it have to do with you whether they live or die? How can other people's lives be as important as your own? I really don't understand why there are fools like you in the world who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others!"
"If it were me, I would choose to live even if I had to endure the condemnation of my conscience, because only by living can there be a future, and if I die, there will be nothing left!"
Jia Xibei was not angry at her words, but simply expressed his inner thoughts, "Because I am a normal person, I can never be as heartless as you and live on her protection."
"According to you, being willing to sacrifice for others is foolish. Then who isn't a police officer or a firefighter? But if they weren't there, who would save you when you were in danger? Someone has to do these things, right?"
Xiao Xiao retorted expressionlessly, "Don't speak so harshly of me. I'm just seeking advantage and avoiding harm! There are many dangers in there now. Even someone as powerful as Wen Wan can't completely deal with it. What can you do if you go back? Isn't that just asking for death?"
"Even if I die, it's more important than Mount Tai, unlike you, who's lighter than a feather!" Jia Xibei retorted to her without any hesitation, then changed the subject and said, "Besides, who told you that I'm useless if I go back?"
Xiao Xiao felt bored and stopped arguing with her, "Alright! If you're not afraid of death, then go back by yourself. I won't accompany you to die anyway!"
Jia Xibei said angrily, "I didn't expect you to do that!"
"Okay, then let's go our separate ways. You go your way, and I go mine!" Xiao Xiao said, turned around and was about to leave.
Before she could even take two steps forward, someone suddenly grabbed her collar and pulled her back. She turned her head to glance at the person behind her and cursed impatiently, "Why are you arresting me again? Are you sick?"
Jia Xibei said confidently, "You can choose not to go back with me, but you can't leave here either. The grudge between us hasn't been settled yet!"
Xiao Xiao: "..."
Okay, that's really great! She was about to die, but she was still thinking about that little grudge. She was really impressed!
Xiao Xiao looked at her serious expression and promised helplessly: "Don't pull me! I promise not to leave the community gate. I'll go home and wait for you, okay?"
Jia Xibei acted as if he had just heard a ridiculous joke and questioned, "You promise? What can you promise? Someone like you has no moral principles, and even a promise might not be kept!"
Xiao Xiao was in a complicated mood, "...then what do you say we should do?"
Jia Xibei looked at the dogs nearby and asked tentatively, "How about...you guys keep an eye on her?"
"Woof...Woof woof woof!" The dogs were like spirits. They first shook their heads in unison, and then ran two steps towards the entrance of the barrier.
Jia Xibei was stunned by their actions, then suddenly realized and asked, "Ah~ You mean you don't want to watch her and want to come in with me to help, right?"
"Woof woof woof!" The dogs barked in unison, as if answering her "yes".
Jia Xibei couldn't help laughing out loud. This reaction was really funny and heartwarming.
"Then what should I do..." She sighed in distress and began to look around unconsciously. Then, she didn't know what she saw, but her eyes lit up instantly.
Got it!
