Chapter 849: Selfishness
"You bastards, you are trying to rebel, aren’t you?" Xiao Wu cursed in a low voice. He looked at the survivors who were almost about to crash the door open and was so furious that he wished he could shoot a few of them down. He opened the small window on the gate and shouted at Yang Wei, "Yang Wei! Yang Wei! I have called you three times now; if you don’t get down and enter the safe base, then I will cross your name out. You can forget about entering the Bai safe base."
When Yang Wei heard this, she turned panicked. She knew that if she stayed inside the car any longer, then she could forget about entering the safe base. Bai Meiyue was a ruthless woman; she would not give her a good face if she did not enter the safe base now. She immediately got out of the car, and with Xiao Chenye and the rest of the ability users opening a path for her, she walked toward the small gate.
In her heart, she was truly embarrassed. These people had followed her and abandoned the safe base because they believed that she could give them a better future. Now, that the situation was like this, Yang Wei felt like she was a coward who had broken her promise to these people, but more than that, she felt angry and resentful toward Bai Meiyue. She knew that the woman was deliberately targeting these people because she took them along with her. Because they chose to follow her rather than her.
This was Bai Meiyue’s revenge on her and these people. She wanted to prove to these people that she was a better leader than Yang Wei, and it was the fault of these people that they chose to follow Yang Wei rather than her.
"Bai Meiyue! You are heartless! Look at these kids, are you really going to let them die?"
"Bai Meiyue, the heavens are watching! You cannot turn a blind eye to our tragedy! Open the doors and let us in. If you let us suffer today, then you will definitely pay for these cruel actions in the future."
"Please open the doors, Bai Meiyue. You will be blessed if you save our lives today."
"We want to survive, Bai Meiyue. Please give us a chance; everyone deserves a second chance."
There were all kinds of noises outside the safe base; some were begging, some were screaming, and some were doing both. Yang Wei looked at these people and felt really sympathetic; she also thought that Bai Meiyue was being too cruel, but she was too helpless. With Bai Meiyue’s cruel actions, there was nothing she could do about it. All she could do was condemn Bai Meiyue in her heart.
Even if Yang Wei wished to take a stand for these people, she could not do it. Bai Meiyue had clearly stated that if she did not enter the safe base now, then she would never be allowed to enter the safe base. Yang Wei felt sorry for these people, but she also felt sorry for herself, and she did not dare to fight with Bai Meiyue. What was she going to do even if she wanted to stand up for these people? She had no strength or power to resist Bai Meiyue.
So, when the small gate opened, she entered the safe base without saying anything, as for the medical supplies that were taken in by ability users.
Once Yang Wei entered the safe base, most of her ability users’ bodyguards also entered the safe base. They did not even look at the people behind them, as they had long been fed up with them. In the past few days, these people had gotten into fights and unnecessary arguments every day and now. If not for the fact that Yang Wei had taken herself as their leader, they would have never even looked at these people who were causing trouble for them.
When Captain Xu and the others saw that their team was slowly weakening, they could not help but become nervous. They also felt an inexplicable fear rising in their hearts. If these people left, then what would they do? How would they survive? In the end, they could not help but howl and scream for help as well.
Inside the safe base, Xiao Wu and his men were counting the medical supplies that were sent by the Bai family. Since they had accepted Yang Wei, it did not make any sense for them to suffer a loss; thus, Yang Wei was asked to sit in a corner while the medical supplies were counted, and only after the supplies were tallied was she allowed to enter the safe base.
Seeing this, Yang Wei was really upset. "Do you think the Bai family will break their promise?"
"There are no hard feelings attached to this matter," said Xiao Wu while sneering inwardly. Of course, he could never trust the Bai family or anyone from the Bai family. They sent this troublemaker back; who knows what they were thinking? Only a fool would believe such people. "This is strictly business."
Yang Wei’s face turned ugly when she heard the words of Xiao Wu. When she arrived at the capital safe base, Old Madam Bai asked her to make some connections with Bai Meiyue and her mother by using the blood relationship that they shared with the Old Bai family. But from what Xiao Wu said, it seemed like Bai Meiyue had no intention of claiming a relationship with the Bai family.
Yang Wei couldn’t believe it but at the same time when she thought about how Bai Meiyue had been living in this safe base like a dictator, there was no surprise that the woman was looking down at the Bai family, it was because she was a toad living in the well and did not understand the might of the Bai family. Even if they were weak right now, they would soon climb back up in no time!
