Chapter 864: Chapter 864: Are You Crazy?
Bai Youwei let Shen Mo deliver the props and stopped worrying about it, focusing instead on collecting intelligence, organizing props, and preparing for the third battle.
However, even though she didn’t care, the rampant rumors still made their way into her ears.
Everyone in the Headquarters Building was talking about it—Du Lai had set a bounty within the base.
—As long as someone was willing to enter Maze No. 1 and rescue Fu Miaoxue, Du Lai was willing to give away all the props and information he held and also, provide a maze guide for free to ensure the safety of the person’s life.
His props were certainly tempting, but sadly, not a single person wanted to enter the maze.
Everybody knew about the dangers of the maze. Why trouble oneself for a thrill when life was good?
Moreover, the ones who truly needed props were either the King or his subjects, and now, there were only a few Kings and subjects left in the base. If they didn’t go, who else would?
Unless Yan Qingwen changed his mind, there might still be a sliver of hope.
…
In the evening, Bai Youwei stayed in her room, arranging her remaining props in several rows. She was considering whether these unremarkable props, aside from their inherent functions, could be developed for some other uses.
Rapid footsteps could be heard from outside.
Then, her door was knocked on.
Zhu Shu called from outside, “Weiwei! You should come and see. Du Lai is recruiting someone to enter the maze, and he’s actually recruiting Shen Mingyuan!”
Bai Youwei went to open the door and asked, puzzled, “Who is Shen Mingyuan?”
Zhu Shu was taken aback, “You don’t know? Shen Mingyuan, one of the important shareholders of Shen Group, and also Shen Mo’s father.”
Bai Youwei was also stunned, her eyes widening, “Isn’t this crazy? Even if he can’t recruit anyone else, Du Lai shouldn’t choose him!”
Shen Mingyuan was over forty years old! He had never entered the game! And had never been in a maze!
Had Du Lai lost his mind?!
…No, that’s not right, should I say, had Shen’s father lost his mind?!
“You should come down and have a look, Shen Mo is also there,” Zhu Shu said worriedly, “Shen Mo looks… not too good.”
Bai Youwei switched her shoes and went downstairs with her, encountering Shen Fei who had just come looking for her while taking the elevator.
Shen Fei, upon seeing Bai Youwei, stammered, “Uncle Third asked me… asked me to find you, to persuade my brother not to prevent Uncle Third from entering the maze…”
As Bai Youwei stepped into the elevator, she said, “He wants to enter the maze, and you’re just letting him?! The maze is very dangerous, Shen Mo will definitely disagree!”
“Du Lai said he would provide the guide…” Shen Fei hesitated, “I heard there would be no danger, just going in once could improve one’s physical condition. The props obtained could all be given to you, to help in the battle.”
“What if the guide is useless?” Bai Youwei said helplessly, “Anything could happen in the maze. Once the guide Du Lai provided fails, Uncle will be trapped inside! Nobody can save him! Ah, aren’t you just making things worse?”
She turned to Shen Fei and said, “I’ll hold off Shen Mo later, you’re responsible for dragging Uncle back, and don’t let him have any more contact with Du Lai! Got it?”
“…Ah?” Shen Fei’s expression stiffened. He was clearly sent as Uncle Third’s lobbyist, so how did he end up being ordered around by Bai Youwei instead?
When they reached the first floor, Bai Youwei, Zhu Shu, and Shen Fei walked outside and soon saw the figure of Shen Mo.
He was indeed confronting his own father, and both of their faces looked very ugly. There were also some onlookers gathered around.
Du Lai sat on the side, his entire face expressionless, cold and indifferent.
Seeing Bai Youwei walking over quickly, he raised his eyebrows.
What do you think?
