Sometimes, the closer someone was to her, the harder it was for her to open her mouth. Especially after she had personally ruined the relationship, she couldn't even face it. Now, it was really, really difficult for her to open her mouth.
Sometimes, people had to admit that the closer a person was to them, the harder it was to make up for it once they were hurt. The closer a person was to them, the sharper the cracks would be. Every time someone touched a person, they would feel a heart-wrenching pain. This kind of pain that didn't seem to leave any traces was often the sharpest sword.
After leaving everyone, Bai Xiaoye stayed in the room alone for a while before she finally mustered up her courage. She knew that no matter when she dialed that number, her mother, whom she had called 'Master' for twenty years, would pick up immediately.
The moment the call connected, Bai Xiaoye, who had thought of more than a hundred opening lines, was suddenly at a loss for words. She didn't know what to say. Should she greet her, address her, or apologize for disturbing her rest? No matter what she said, Bai Xiaoye felt as if her lips were sealed with wax. She just held the phone in silence, completely at a loss.
Most people who received this kind of call would think that it was a harassment call and would definitely hang up. Bai Xiaoye was prepared to hear the busy tone, but a simple greeting came from the phone. "Xiaoye? How have you been recently? "
Bai Xiaoye didn't know how to answer. To be honest, after leaving her, Bai Xiaoye had to start all over again. It couldn't be considered good because the price she paid was too great. However, she had been taken care of by Xu Yun and his many friends. She really didn't suffer any grievances, so it couldn't be said that she wasn't doing well.
"Pretty good." In the end, Bai Xiaoye chose to be perfunctory. She deliberated for a long time before deciding on how to address her. "Master … something happened to Xu Yun. I … want to ask you to help me."
The word 'master' made Zuo Lengyue, who was on the other end of the phone, instantly tear up. Tears gushed out from the corners of her eyes like spring water, sliding down her delicate cheeks and falling to her chin. Zuo Lengyue felt both gratified and heartbroken. She didn't know how to describe this complicated feeling. "What happened to Xu Yun?"
"He was taken away by a special agent under General Adler. He's currently being controlled at a secret military base on the southeast side of Tokyo's main island." Bai Xiaoye didn't have anything to hide. Since she had already spoken, she might as well tell him everything.
Zuo Lengyue frowned. Based on her understanding of Xu Yun, with Xu Yun's strength and intelligence, it wouldn't be easy for him to be subdued by others. Even if he lost to his opponent, it wouldn't be so easy for his opponent to control him and take him to such a faraway place. There must be something fishy about this. "He was captured? There must be a reason … "
"Yes." Bai Xiaoye said indifferently, "He did it on purpose because he exchanged himself for another hostage."
Zuo Lengyue knew that this guy wouldn't be caught so easily! No wonder. It turned out that he was acting bravely for a just cause again. This time, he actually got himself involved. "And then he didn't manage to get away? That's why he was taken away? "
"He planned it himself. He wanted those two special agents to take him to their secret base. He wanted to use this opportunity to destroy that secret base." Bai Xiaoye said, "That's why he planned to be taken to that base by those two special agents. He also thought of a way to pass the message to me midway so that I could help him."
Zuo Lengyue smiled. "Silly child. The opponent is an American special agent. This must be a conflict with the Dragon Brigade. He thought of a way to pass the message to you so that you can pass the message to their troops. This is something that their troops should deal with. You don't need to worry. With the Dragon Brigade's strength, it's not difficult to attack a military base. Don't worry so much. Just pass the message. "
Bai Xiaoye was silent for a moment. Zuo Lengyue didn't hear a reply, so she asked again, "You can't contact them? I'll help you contact them. "
"No," Bai Xiaoye said. Bai Xiaoye said, "We've already passed it on. He also asked us to pass it on to the army … But …" Bai Xiaoye felt her chest tighten. She paused for a moment before continuing, "But the army said they can't interfere in this matter."
Zuo Lengyue's temper wasn't as gentle as her appearance suggested. She frowned immediately. "What does the Dragon Brigade mean? Something happened to one of their men and they don't care? This is not their style … Xiao Ye, is there something wrong between the two of you? Although I don't know the Dragon Brigade's Wan, I believe that he's definitely not a heartless person. "
Zuo Lengyue found it unbelievable because she didn't know Wan Kuangxiao. Those who truly knew Wan Kuangxiao would definitely understand why he didn't save Bai Xiaoye.
"There's no mistake." Bai Xiaoye continued, "It's because my brother is locked up in a military base on an island in Japan. Once they send out their troops, they will be accused of invading. This will severely affect their reputation … It will affect the country's reputation, and it will bring about serious consequences to the world's public opinion."
Zuo Lengyue tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart. Just because of this little bit of public opinion? Just because of this little bit of reputation? Hmph … Wan Kuangxiao, you old bastard, you're really a jerk!
Wan Kuangxiao knew that when he made that decision, he would be criticized and scolded by everyone who knew about the situation. However, he still insisted on doing so. He also scolded himself for being too cruel in handling this matter. However, he really didn't have a second choice.
"I have to ask for your help. I don't want to see these loyal people around me sacrifice themselves for Xu Yun." Bai Xiaoye said, "Master, I beg you, please help him."
Of course, Zuo Lengyue wouldn't ignore this matter. Even if Bai Xiaoye didn't beg her, she wouldn't ignore this matter if she knew about it. It didn't matter if she was Xu Yun's stepmother or not. Just because Xu Yun was that man's son, she wouldn't let others bully him!
Wan Kuangxiao, you want face and reputation. You think about the country because your identity is different and you have a high position. But I, Zuo Lengyue, am different. I am me. Even the heavens can't control what I want to do! Even if she blew up Dongying Island, she would let whoever dared to say a word about her sink to the bottom of the sea like Dongying Island!
"Of course, I won't watch my daughter's only brother get bullied." When Zuo Lengyue said this, her killing intent was already rising. However, these words were very heart-warming in Bai Xiaoye's ears. Bai Xiaoye knew that it wasn't that Zuo Lengyue didn't want to acknowledge her as her daughter. She also had her own difficulties. Although she called her master for twenty years, in all fairness, there was no difference between her master and her mother.
The only difference was the way she addressed her. That was all.
"Mom … thank you." Bai Xiaoye changed the way she addressed her. Although her voice was very soft, it was like a bolt from the blue in Zuo Lengyue's ears. Happiness came too suddenly … Zuo Lengyue, who was recognized as the supreme Empress of Hua Xia's underground world, actually had a time when she didn't know what to do. It was because this form of address was too wonderful … She had never experienced this kind of happiness before.
Only at this moment did Zuo Lengyue realize that a form of address was so important. Bai Xiaoye was angry with her for a reason.
