Chapter 215: The Window in Front
Excessive arrogance and self-esteem sometimes represent absolute self-confidence, but sometimes they are also a manifestation of inferiority.
Bai He has both. He is proud and yet inferior. He is a very contradictory person.
He stared at the progress on the computer, but what appeared in his mind was his brother's peaceful face lying in the coffin.
His elder brother, Bai Yu, was smiling before he died. He bravely stood up for justice and died together with the criminals. He single-handedly delayed a whole car of criminals and saved six children.
When the police arrived, he was already dying and could not be saved even after being sent to the hospital. Later, the police found enough drug powder in the criminals' car to shoot the group of people several times.
And Bai Yu died at his most glorious moment.
Because of this, Bai He will never be able to surpass his brother in his life. No matter how hard he works, how much he contributes, or how great his achievements are, others will only talk.
[What a pity! If his brother hadn't bravely sacrificed himself for a just cause, he would have done much better.]
At the age of twelve, he was able to fight off a child trafficker who was also a drug lord, and he saved six children without even harming any passersby.
From now on, even if Bai He saves people, he will be compared.
[If he was his brother, he would definitely be able to save more people. ]
In fact, Bai He has complicated feelings towards his brother. In his impression, his brother has never made things difficult for him. He is very gentle and would secretly bring him candies. He would also plead for him and take the blame when his schoolwork is randomly checked.
His mother died early, and his father and grandfather were always busy, so his brother had been taking care of him.
When Bai Yu died that day, Bai He was also there, but Bai He was only six years old at the time and had no idea what was going on. He could only stand blankly in the crowd.
Because of this, Bai He was nailed to the pillar of shame by rumors.
Bai He gritted his teeth, trying not to indulge in memories. He knew that he was very capable, and he tried his best to climb up, but no matter how high he climbed, he could always feel countless hands poking his spine from behind.
"Damn it, why is it so smooth?" Bai He was a little anxious.
When faced with difficulties, his ability and pride always give him a timely shot of stimulant, allowing Bai He to perform beyond his normal level.
However, when everything was going exceptionally well, Bai He backed off again. His intuition told him that everything should not be so smooth, just like his life.
But I can't find any fault with it.
The light on the computer flickered slowly, and the progress bar quickly and steadily reached 100% without any hindrance.
The computer has been formatted and completely destroyed, with no files left.
Bai He was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when his spirit became tense again. Just now, he suddenly smelled a heavy breath, which made his breathing become heavy for a moment.
Bai He became more and more anxious. He turned on his mobile phone, which he had installed a thermal sensor on. There was no human-shaped thermal sensor around, and there was no one around.
Yes, no one, he succeeded.
Bai He gritted his teeth and calmed himself down. He looked up at the glass and suddenly felt something was wrong.
"!!
When I looked up, there was a window in front of me.
His shadow was reflected on the glass, but there seemed to be someone standing behind him. A white shadow floated behind him like moonlight, which scared Bai He so much that he turned around suddenly and retreated repeatedly.
When he turned around, Bai He saw that the person behind him was Bai Zhi.
She was holding a huge crystal ball and wearing a hood, with only a few strands of silver threads showing, which looked very much like the moonlight in the night sky.
Bai Zhi stood quietly at the door, the crystal ball in her hand emitting a faint light.
The golden pupils met Bai He's eyes, like a whirlpool, causing Bai He's heart to stop suddenly. Bai He looked at the golden pupils and felt as if his soul was being sucked away.
Cold, temperatureless...with a barely perceptible hint of pity.
"!!"
Bai He was breathing heavily, his back soaked with cold sweat.
When I looked up, there was a window in front of me.
This scene seemed familiar, and Bai He turned away in response.
There was nothing behind me.
The night was horribly silent, not even the wind made any sound. Perhaps it was because the floor was too high? Bai He couldn't even hear the chirping of insects.
"Hey, Gin, are you ready for the response?" Bai He turned off the earphones on his ears: "I'm going out now."
There was no movement, Bai He's face suddenly turned ugly, and he subconsciously thought that Gin had abandoned him.
He took off his headphones and was about to throw them away when he discovered that they were not lit at all.
Strange, didn’t he press it?
Bai He pressed the button on the headset again in surprise.
There is no response. It seems that the headset is broken and there is no response.
Bai He had cold sweat on his nose. He had already realized something was wrong. He opened his phone and frantically sent a text message to call someone, but found that the phone could not be opened either.
No matter how he pressed the buttons, the screen was black and the headphones seemed to be completely broken, with no sound at all.
How is that possible? Aren’t these headphones new?
Bai He felt a little dizzy. He closed his eyes and felt his heart beating very fast as if he had neurasthenia, which made him stagger a little.
"!!"
Bai He's hands were already shaking a little, and in a trance, he seemed to feel something.
When I looked up, there was a window in front of me.
His hand shook and the phone fell to the ground, the screen shattered into pieces in an instant.
Although the phone screen was still flashing, it was obvious that it could no longer be touched, so it was naturally impossible to call for help.
It clearly couldn't be turned on just now, why is it turning on again now?
Bai He was stunned for a while. The next moment, he reacted and immediately picked up the headphones again. This time, Gin's voice came through.
[What's wrong? Why don't you talk? ]
[If it fails, the building will be blown up, you know that, right? ]
[Baihe, speak! ]
Whether out of impatience or the stress of the task, Gin's voice became noticeably louder.
what on earth is it?
Bai He stared at the window in front of him. He could no longer distinguish between dreams and reality.
What's wrong with him now?
"The building was going to be blown up, but I'm afraid it's too late now." An old and resolute voice sounded from behind.
The headphones slipped from his hands and fell to the ground with a thud.
Bai He felt as if his throat was grasped by a big hand. He didn't dare to look back, but along with his fear, he was also filled with anger and shame.
"boom!"
It can be seen that Bai Qian'an is still in good shape. The earphones are so small, but in the dark night, Bai Qian'an shot them to pieces with one shot.
"Don't come over. You must have hidden a lot of people in this building." Bai He turned around, his face darkening. "I have a remote control. As long as I press the button, this building will be completely destroyed."
"I know." Bai Qian'an leaned on a cane, his face unusually calm: "It's not you who are finished, it's us who are finished."
"What do you mean?" Bai He looked grim. Facing his grandfather, he subconsciously wanted to avoid him, but everything he had experienced made him furious.
"Bai Zhi helped you, didn't she, that traitor?" Bai He gritted his teeth and said, "I still like her, but she is so ruthless. When I go back, I will definitely..."
"You don't repent." Bai Qian'an interrupted Lily's words with a cold voice: "As a member of a military family, you betrayed your country and harboured foreign criminals and transnational criminal groups in China. You are the traitor."
"I didn't betray you, I just wanted to prove myself!" Bai He roared, "Didn't you say that everything I have was given by my family? I don't want to, I came here to prove myself!"
"Prove yourself?" Bai Qian straightened his back. "The Bai family's ancestral motto is benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, filial piety, integrity, shame, and courage. How many of them have you achieved?"
"When I become a senior official, isn't it just a matter of one word from me to stop touching China? What's wrong with you just being patient for a while?" Bai He's face flushed, veins popping out on his forehead: "No matter what I do, you deny me. No matter what I do, I can't compare to Bai Yu. The starting point of my life is shame!"
"Why? Because you gave birth to me? What family rules and teachings? I will succeed this time. I will succeed in front of you!"
