Bai Shao furrowed his brows when he heard this. He did not quite agree. “Sis, you’re too kind. Someone like Bai Lin has embarrassed you so many times, yet you’re still helping her.”
“Well, she’s family.” She smiled weakly. “It’s okay if jiejie doesn’t treat me as family, but we can’t do this to her.”
She showed sadness on her face timely after she finished speaking and urged, “I think I twisted my ankle. You go ahead. I’ll go after a short break.”
Bai Shao observed her ankle worriedly and left in relief only when he saw that it was not swollen.
“My sister asked me to come over and help you. You can’t defuse it even after such a long time,” Bai Shao said impatiently, “Move aside, let me do it.” [This younger brother’s really making me clench my fists.]
[Is this something you can solve? Aren’t you a little too confident?]
[I’m waiting to for him to feel the slap in his face.]
Bai Lin and the others surrounded the bomb, blocking Bai Shao from seeing it.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Bai Shao felt a little embarrassed standing there. He pulled Lin Sen, who was standing at the outermost edge, to the side. “That’s enough. Don’t you know your own worth? I’m here to help you out of kindness and you…”
He then saw the item that Bai Lin was carefully dismantling and his words took a turn. “It’s fine if you don’t know what’s good for you. You’re always like this anyway. I’m going to go defuse our group’s bomb.”
Lin Sen sneered, “Isn’t Young Master Bai amazing? Why did you cower after seeing the bomb?”
Zhou Guang’s eyes turned cold. “When you go back, tell Bai Xi and the others not to disturb my sister.”
Bai Lin finished the initial grouping. She had not played with a bomb like this in a long while and was a little excited. Her fingers were numb from moving them for a long time too.
She shook her hands out and looked at Bai Shao. “The bombs are the same. If you don’t want to redeem the bomb disposal method from the production team, you can come and look for me.”
Bai Shao knew that he could not defuse the bomb by himself, and no one in his team could do it either. However, he could not give in to Bai Lin who he hated. “There’s no need for that. We’re not short of points, unlike you, who’s a scrooge!” He turned around after saying that and left to defuse the first bomb with his team members.
They realized the difficulty level of the bomb disposal now and gathered together to discuss the solution.
Fan Feng looked troubled. “We don’t have enough points, right? What do we
Zhao Yuan glanced at the submissive Jin Ran. “I remember that Xiao Ran was in Bai Lin’s group, right? She should’ve gotten more than 500 points. When are you using it if not now?”
Jin Ran tugged at the hem of her clothes and whispered, “But even if I use up all my points, it’s still not enough.”
“Defusing one bomb is 500 points. There are three bombs to be defused, so that’s 1500 points. It seems like the production team is going to sweep out some points here to prevent it from affecting the next episode’s mission,” Fan Feng analyzed.
Zhao Yuan rolled her eyes. “At the end of the day, it’s still because of Bai Lin. If she didn’t use underhanded methods to get so many points, we wouldn’t be stuck here.”
Fan Feng was getting impatient. “That’s enough. It’s obvious that you guys are the ones who don’t have the ability to get the points or defuse the bombs. Why are you still blaming Bai Lin?”
Zhao Yuan did not expect that even Fan Feng would take Bai Lin’s side. She cried emotionally, “Whose team are you on? How can you say that?”
Jin Ran added in a small voice, “Aunt Zhao, you’re in Lin-jie’s group. Lin-jie will definitely be able to pass this mission smoothly, so it’s normal that you’re not anxious. But our group doesn’t have enough points now, and we don’t know how to defuse the bombs. We’re in distress. If there’s nothing important, can you speak less?”
Zhao Yuan had always looked down on Jin Ran because of her low family status and her timid character. It annoyed her just looking at the girl.
Before this, however, the girl had never dared to refute anyone’s point of view. If she argued with someone, she would always be the loser.
How did she dare to go against her today?
It seemed like she had changed ever since she came back from Bai Lin’s team. Zhao Yuan’s gaze shifted, and her eyes fell darkly on Bai Lin who was not far away.
They had already completed defusing the second bomb. Bai Lin was surrounded by the other three members. They seemed to be talking about something as they all started laughing.
Zhao Yuan was jealous as she watched. She had made no progress on her side, and Bai Lin, as her biological daughter, not only did not help, she did not even greet her.
She really lacked a proper upbringing, which Zhao Yuan had to teach her slowly.. As she thought about this, she walked over and said loudly, “Bai Lin! Come over and help us defuse the bomb!”
