Bai Ruoxi opened her mouth in shock.
Her pink lips were slightly pouted, obviously she didn't expect Jiang Mingxin to react like this.
"Mingxin, I know you're angry. Angry that Mom only took me away. But now's not the time to be petty. Collaborating with tomb robbers is a serious crime. Is it possible... that he didn't actually know they were tomb robbers, or that those were national cultural relics?"
Jiang Mingxin thought he had heard wrongly.
"Why, do you want Director Bai to bend the law for personal gain?"
"No," Bai Ruoxi lowered her head in grievance, choking with sobs, "How could a daughter in this world watch her own father go to jail? Although I have no legal relationship with him anymore, but..."
Jiang Mingxin pulled his hand free, picked up the dishes and walked towards the kitchen.
Bai Ruoxi's tireless persuasion came from behind.
"My stepfather loves me very much. He will definitely be willing to help with such a small matter. You don't even need to show up. By the way, if you have any problems in the future, you must tell me first. I will find a way to help you."
Jiang Mingxin felt a sudden pain in his chest.
How many times.
Whenever the original owner was about to despair, Bai Ruoxi would give her hope at the right time.
"Mingxin, I will never forget you even when I'm gone. I will come back to see you often in the future!"
"If anyone bullies you, call me and mom immediately!"
"Don't worry, I have plenty of pocket money. I'll buy you a new pair of sneakers next month."
Little did she know at that time that even biological sisters would drift apart one day.
Bai Ruoxi's innocence is not only cruel, but also full of condescending pity.
The despair accumulated from those little things was only described in the original text to one ten-thousandth of the whole thing, but Jiang Mingxin could clearly feel it at this moment.
Bai Ruoxi might not have done it on purpose, but she had indeed forgotten the promise she had made in her comfortable life.
The pain and itchiness on every inch of her skin reminded her all the time that if she wanted to live, she had to let go of the original owner's unfulfilled obsessions.
If she wants to completely eliminate them, she must repay them a hundredfold before they hurt her!
"I've been to the military compound and called the Bai family more than once."
Jiang Mingxin's voice was clear and clean, like the first snow falling in a cold winter.
Bai Ruoxi's expression changed immediately.
"Yes, really? How could I not know... Ah, it must be Aunt Qiu! She's my tutor. She's been forcing me to learn English lately. I told the guards that no matter who comes looking for me, just tell them I'm not here. Mingxin, don't worry, I'll tell her when I get back!"
"What about the phone call?" Jiang Mingxin asked, "I haven't been able to make it in a long time."
Bai Ruoxi's sparkling eyes suddenly widened, and it took her a long time to remember: "Oh, my second brother changed the home phone number two years ago. I guess I forgot to tell you. Look at my memory, Mingxin, I really didn't mean it."
Jiang Mingxin looked into her eyes silently.
Bai Ruoxi smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "By the way, didn't you love eating bian duo the most? I'll take you to Luoyang Water Banquet someday. The bian duo there are really authentic!"
"There's also the department store in the provincial capital. They have everything from food to clothing to daily necessities. I bought this skirt from Brother Mingfeng at the women's clothing counter there. It cost over 200 yuan. I heard it's the latest style from Hong Kong, and the material is really good. If you don't believe me, just touch it!"
Jiang Mingxin dodged sideways and said, "My hands are dirty, so I won't touch you."
"It's okay, just wash your hands before touching it." Bai Ruoxi excitedly lifted her skirt and spun it around in front of her. "Next time I'll ask Brother Mingfeng to buy you one too. It will definitely look good on you."
Jiang Mingxin sneered, "He's your fiancé, how could he possibly buy it for me?"
Bai Ruoxi smiled shyly and said matter-of-factly, "He's getting married to me soon. What's wrong with my brother-in-law buying me a dress? It's called loving someone and loving their dog! As long as you treat me well, he'll definitely treat you well too."
At this moment, Jiang Mingxin no longer felt heartbroken.
The remaining obsession of the original owner completely disappeared...
Soon, there was a noisy sound at the gate of the courtyard, and the village chief and Director Bai had returned.
She hurried out and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that most of the police officers were fine, with only two appraisers injured during the retreat.
"Great, have all the tomb robbers been caught?"
Director Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead with lingering fear, a smile on his face: "We shot and killed three, two escaped, and the rest were captured by the armed police and taken to the car!"
Jiang Mingxin frowned and asked, "Then, where are the veterans who helped?"
Director Bai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked around, but no one said they saw anything.
"Oh, that comrade may have left quietly. What a noble and upright comrade! He helped us but didn't even take the credit and just left like that."
Jiang Mingxin felt quite regretful. She wanted to thank the man and confirm whether he was one of the two comrades who had died in the original text.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as I’m alive.
"Dad!" Suddenly, a trembling and crying voice came from behind Jiang Mingxin.
A snow-white figure flew into Director Bai's arms like a butterfly.
The aggrieved tone sounded like the Siamese cat that Jiang Mingxin had raised in her previous life, coquettish and clingy, timid and delicate.
Bai Ruoxi's voice was a little hoarse. "Dad, you scared me to death. Why did you come here to catch tomb robbers without saying a word? What should I do if something happens?"
Director Bai quickly hugged Bai Ruoxi into his arms and patted her back lovingly, "It's okay, it's okay. Your dad is so powerful, what can a few tomb robbers do to me? What's more, there are so many armed police comrades here."
