Chapter 712: Chapter 712: Bai Ruoxi’s Betrayal of the Organization

Although Bai Ruoxi was the one who approached Shi Yaoguang, if Shi Yaoguang didn’t know her purpose, she definitely wouldn’t have agreed to meet.

Since she had agreed to the meeting, she must have already been aware of Bai Ruoxi’s intentions, and her background.

Before the visit, Bai Ruoxi had thought about what benefits she could gain if she successfully persuaded Shi Yaoguang.

Now...

She no longer wants any benefits.

All she hopes for is that both she and Bai Tangyuan can get away safely.

Shi Yaoguang is truly terrifying.

She doesn’t believe that Shi Yaoguang would let her and Bai Tangyuan go unharmed.

Unknown to Shi Yaoguang, Bai Ruoxi, relying on her own assumptions, had strategized against her.

Afterward, no matter what she asked, Bai Ruoxi was utterly candid.

From her inquiries, Shi Yaoguang had roughly guessed the organization behind Bai Ruoxi.

It was almost as she had predicted.

The people behind it indeed had premeditated plans.

What they wanted was nothing else but an entire country.

That’s right.

The ambition of the opposition was just that grand.

In fact, their plans weren’t limited to just one country; according to Bai Ruoxi, she had inadvertently discovered that there were others like her in X Country.

If X Country had them, other nations surely did as well.

This meant that the ambition of the people behind the scenes had already grown to encompass the whole world.

Shi Yaoguang was very curious and wanted to know whose ambition was so inflated.

If she ever met them, she would undoubtedly need to have a proper exchange with them.

To see what kind of oddity they were.

"I’ve told you everything I know..."

Just as Shi Yaoguang was scoffing at the oddity, Bai Ruoxi looked nervously at Shi Yaoguang, hoping she would give her a clear answer about when she would let her go.

Shi Yaoguang blinked innocently, "I never said I was going to do anything to you and Bai Tangyuan, did I?"

As she spoke, she sighed, "I am, actually, a good person."

Bai Ruoxi didn’t believe her words.

If she really were a good person, she wouldn’t have intentionally scared her.

That’s right.

Bai Ruoxi had completely taken Shi Yaoguang to be someone who would unhesitatingly resort to violence.

If it were just a matter of a knife going in and coming out bloodied, that would be one thing, but the way Shi Yaoguang used a soft knife to kill was even more terrifying.

"I really don’t plan to do anything to you and Bai Tangyuan; you can be assured of that," Shi Yaoguang said, seeing her fear.

Quan Jinbei added, "My wife never bullies those who are weak."

Bai Ruoxi silently wondered if she could beat a chicken.

After some thought, her face turned pale.

It seemed that she had killed a chicken before.

In other words.

Shi Yaoguang still wasn’t planning to let her off.

Seeing Bai Ruoxi’s pale face, Shi Yaoguang was speechless.

Was it because she looked too ferocious, or was Bai Ruoxi too imaginative?

She seemed to have never said anything about doing harm to Bai Ruoxi, had she?

She didn’t need to be so...

Sighing inwardly, Shi Yaoguang decided to be frank with Bai Ruoxi.

"You really don’t have to worry; I won’t do anything to you. I still need you to contact the people behind you," Shi Yaoguang confessed.

Hearing this, Bai Ruoxi turned even paler.

She looked at Bai Tangyuan and then at herself, her tone carrying a sob, "What I did before was underhanded, I truly know I was wrong, Tangyuan is still a child, please let us go, we promise not to appear before you again."

"Once I’m finished with my tasks, I’ll let you go," Shi Yaoguang stated.

Bai Ruoxi collapsed to the ground, "It’s no use, if I betray the organization..."

"I don’t need you to betray the organization," Shi Yaoguang continued.

Bai Ruoxi clearly didn’t believe her as she said, "You want to use us to contact the organization, yet you don’t want us to betray it..."

"I could wipe out your organization in one fell swoop," Shi Yaoguang said lightly.

If anyone else had said this, Bai Ruoxi would have scoffed.

Not giving a second thought to how powerful the organization behind her was, wipe them out in one fell swoop?

Wishful thinking.

Not to mention wiping out her organization, it wasn’t even certain they could stay alive themselves.

But when this person was Shi Yaoguang...

Heh, someone who had survived all kinds of assassination attempts.

Bai Ruoxi knew the organization had tried to assassinate Shi Yaoguang, even blatantly murdering in broad daylight.

Yet, Shi Yaoguang just wouldn’t die.

All kinds of death traps had been set for her, but she never succumbed.

Even if they had drugged Shi Yaoguang, thrown her into a room, and then set the room ablaze, Shi Yaoguang would emerge unscathed.

With such an abnormal person, how could Bai Ruoxi have the courage to oppose her?

Now, hearing Shi Yaoguang talk about wiping out the organization she was backed by, she didn’t even doubt it.

"As long as you cooperate, after wiping out the organization, I will let bygones be bygones regarding your past deeds."

Bai Ruoxi was somewhat tempted.

To be honest, Bai Tangyuan was indeed just a tool at first.

A stepping stone she used to marry into a wealthy family.

But over the years, she had grown attached to Bai Tangyuan.

After all, he was her own son.

Besides, what man can be as reliable as a son?

She had raised her son for more than a decade; if Bai Tangyuan grew up to be a super-genius, she could simply be the mother of a genius.

Moreover, given Bai Tangyuan’s current track, it wouldn’t even take that long.

She, as the mother, could soon reap the benefits.

Although marrying into a wealthy family was a shortcut to success, there were still many issues to face afterward.

Bai Ruoxi realized that if she had to choose between a wealthy family and her son, she would prefer the latter.

A few years of hard work for a lifetime of glory.

But she had entered a den of thieves.

What followed, how could it be up to her to decide?

In fact, just before she came to see Shi Yaoguang, Elder Quan had contacted her.

Elder Quan said that if Bai Tangyuan was indeed a son born out of wedlock to the Quan Family,

he could decide to let Quan Jinbei acknowledge the child as his own.

What’s the big deal about a son born out of wedlock?

Who doesn’t have one? The Quan Family had many, and weren’t they all listed in the family tree?

Bai Tangyuan was clearly smart; with the elder’s support, he could guarantee a comfortable life for Bai Tangyuan.

The elder’s offer was very tempting, but she had outright refused it.

She was afraid of Shi Yaoguang’s revenge.

Shi Yaoguang, unaware of this affair, gave Bai Ruoxi an appreciative look after she finished speaking, "It’s rare for you to make the right choice. If you had sided with the elder, Bai Tangyuan might not be around tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ruoxi’s heart shuddered, "What do you mean by ’might not be around’?"

"Just as it sounds."

Shi Yaoguang deliberately didn’t explain, for she of course wouldn’t engage in such murder and looting.

No matter how awkward Bai Tangyuan’s identity was, she couldn’t possibly kill him, right?

It was merely a matter of announcing to the world that Bai Tangyuan wasn’t Quan Jinbei’s son.

Parental tests and various other records would be made public.

Then, it would be hard to say whether Bai Tangyuan could continue to cling to the Quan Family.

That’s what Shi Yaoguang thought, but Bai Ruoxi imagined a scene of her own son being ruthlessly dismembered by Shi Yaoguang and immediately, tears started to flow.

Holding Bai Tangyuan tightly, she cried and cried.

After sobbing for quite a while, she finally agreed to the shameful request of colluding with Shi Yaoguang.
