Chapter 6: Be Yourself
After being sold out by the blabbermouth Chu Fu, Bai Yan did not panic.
He lifted his head and angrily fought back, “Why are you like this? I didn’t say anything when you took away my puzzle and the clothes. Now, you still want to wrong people. I’ll tell you this. When I got that puzzle, it was already like that! I can’t say for sure but that puzzle may naturally have one less piece than the others!”
Bai Yan’s ire scared the man. He suspiciously glared at Bai Yan and seeing that his expression remained unfazed, his trust in him increased to 80 percent, yet at the same time, his anxiety also grew.
During this matter of life and death, the man didn’t flare at another person anymore.
Despite warning that he would flip the table over many times before, flipping the table didn’t give him any benefits. The man had integrated into society for many years and had already known that one shouldn’t use the hard approach all the time. If the situation calls for it, they should act soft, especially in cases of asking for help.
Since this matter concerned his precious life, the man suppressed his irritation and softened his tone to the best of his abilities, “Earlier, this brother has been unfair to you. Think about it carefully, did you leave the puzzle elsewhere? If we are able to survive this, this brother will owe his life to you.”
“……”
Faced with the man’s embarrassing defeat, Bai Yan also didn’t want to push him too far. He deliberately hesitated for a moment and frowned, pretending to look around the area as though he was genuinely trying to recall where he had left the puzzle.
By this time, there was only one minute left on the clock before the game concluded.
