He was no exception.
Dean Bai never imagined that his father had endured so much alone, and he began to reflect on why he should be loyal to the royal family.
Are ordinary people's lives really that worthless?
He was easily bewitched.
He lived in constant anxiety.
Will he end up like his father?
Is such an empire truly worthy of loyalty?
After taking things in stride, District Chief Bai, who disliked overthinking, simply asked, "Do you think there's any chance of winning this high-stakes gamble?"
Old Mrs. Bai had never seen anything like this before.
She couldn't explain it.
But Dean Bai, having long been navigating the power dynamics, saw a bright future in Qu Jian'er.
It was simply because Qu Jian'er was willing to tell them her identity as a member of the Spirit Special Bureau, a fact unknown to outsiders.
District Chief Bai smiled at his son: "I'm old, it's not worth gambling with the lives of my whole family."
Dean Bai understood the implication in District Chief Bai's words, and for the first time, he went against his father's wishes: "Father wants me to refuse? Just watching you leave... I can't do it."
On one hand, there's the life of the whole family; on the other, there's the life of the father and the future of the Bai family.
This made him, who was usually cold and aloof, hesitate.
So much so.
Not long after.
He hesitated when answering Qu Jian'er.
Qu Jian'er said understandingly, "I know it's difficult for you. After all, I would also be skeptical when faced with an unknown new clinical treatment plan."
Dean Bai: "..." You're treating the overthrow of the empire as a completely new clinical treatment plan?
Who is the attending physician?
Are you?!
Qu Jian'er smiled and said, "You can treat this as an investment. I'm not asking you to take sides now, just so you don't end up not knowing there's another team to choose from when the fighting starts."
Dean Bai's lips were pursed into a thin line.
Qu Jian'er clenched her wrist: "Have you thought it through?"
Dean Bai had lost his temper.
Dean Bai sighed.
Qu Jian'er knew that the other party had agreed, so she showed the contract she had prepared for each family.
To isolate and leave the empire helpless.
She started planning right now.
After Dean Bai signed the document, he realized he had been tricked and had no other choice.
Qu Jian'er wouldn't let him refuse.
Because those who refuse are like time bombs, and bombs are dangerous, and danger cannot exist.
Bai Wei gave someone advice: "Put a talisman on him to make sure he behaves himself."
She saw that Qu Jian'er was serious.
He quickly came to his senses.
He put on a real-life version of a disgrace.
Dean Bai felt a pang of bitterness as he watched his daughter quickly accept reality.
He turned his gaze to his son.
Bai Rushi nodded: "Put one on me too, that way I'll feel much safer, and from now on we'll be Big Brother's people!"
Dean Bai: "..." It seems that my son has become someone else's child without my knowledge.
Qu Jian'er rolled her eyes and refused bluntly: "Do you all think my talismans are wholesale? A contract for real-time monitoring is enough."
Everyone fell silent: "..." It's because you seem too relaxed that we think this way.
