Chapter 1388: Chapter 782: Hit the Snake Following the Stick

Upon hearing this, the bald man quickly nodded.

Now, he had no choice but to give in.

He couldn’t continue to be so defiant; getting rescued came first.

After all, what comes later can be discussed later, and besides, the issue of the antidote hadn’t been brought up, so let’s just pretend nothing happened.

At this moment, however, Qin Yuan scoffed.

"What are you looking at me for? Watching me here, I can’t tell what you’re reacting to."

"So you have to talk to me. Only then can I know your reaction. You also have to speak up here; don’t think about bluffing your way through."

"Besides, with so many people here, you think you can just bluff?"

His attitude was very clear.

Now it was up to the bald man to speak.

In the end, the bald man still bit the bullet and said.

"Yuanqing, I’m really willing to stand with you now, I wouldn’t stand anywhere but with you for the invite."

"I have no other choice now. I choose to stand fully with you and will not have any other thoughts."

"My loyalty to you is sufficient, and I hope you can trust me. Don’t mistrust me anymore."

The bald man spoke earnestly.

Despite his words, his body was still shaking uncontrollably.

It was evident how scared he was.

Even so, Qin Yuan felt no pity for him. Instead, his face revealed a hint of coldness, and he immediately said.

"Bald man, you have to choose to stand with me, and you have to produce the antidote; you can only do what I say."

"You have no other choice now. Can you take my words seriously? You should."

"If you don’t, then you’ll fall down to feed the sharks!"

Qin Yuan’s words were full of threat.

Actually, it wasn’t his first time threatening the bald man here; it had happened many times, yet only this time it had some effect.

This is called following through after striking the snake.

The next moment, the bald man felt very stifled but still managed to squeeze out a smile.

"Yuanqing, if you choose to let me go, as long as you do, I’ll really agree to anything. You’re holding onto me now."

"I can’t produce the antidote in this state. It’s still up to your attitude, especially since you’ve been holding me for quite a while."

"If you’re really tired and let go by accident, then I really don’t know what to do."

He even sighed deeply.

His entire demeanor conveyed a look of distress.

But Qin Yuan scoffed again.

"Bald man, you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Once I let you go, what if you can’t produce the antidote?"

"So you better bring out the antidote first. You tell me where the antidote is, then I’ll go get it; you better not be trying to deceive me."

"I won’t be easily fooled by you. If you’re trying to deceive me, you’re really a bit too green."

"Now I’m giving you one last minute to think about it."

The one-minute time limit wasn’t much.

But it was his limit.

No, indeed it was Crescent’s limit.

Crescent looked really uncomfortable; he couldn’t let Crescent continue to suffer like this.

Hearing this, Crescent’s face revealed a faint smile.

Yet despite this, there was not a trace of color on his face.

He looked extremely weak.

At this moment, the bald man’s face flashed a momentary coldness, but soon returned to calm.

"Yuanqing, I didn’t expect that after so long, you still don’t trust me at all. Am I really that unworthy of your trust?"

"Why can’t you just trust me once? If you trust me, there won’t be any problems, so just let me go first."

"As long as you let me go, everything will be negotiable. I’ll always be here agreeing with you, nothing will change."

Now was the time to make his stance clear.

To earn Yuanqing’s trust.

After all, Yuanqing really didn’t trust him at all.

Qin Yuan just found it somewhat laughable.

But Ling Yu couldn’t help but persuade.

"Yuanqing, I think you should give him a chance. If you don’t give him a chance, how will you know if he will really take out the antidote?"

"And you don’t have any other choice. You have to take a gamble; without taking this risk, you have no chance of getting the antidote."

"Besides, aren’t you very worried about Crescent? This is Crescent’s life; you really can’t just give up!"

Ling Yu’s tone was unprecedentedly serious.

Qin Yuan thought that Ling Yu made some good points. The meal wasn’t responding that fast yet.

At this time, Black Bear finally showed a slight reaction, and then glanced at the bald man.

"Bald man, if he really lets you go, you must keep your promise. We are now all on his side. We are family now."

"Family shouldn’t argue with each other, you need to be loyal at all times, and not deceive each other—deceiving is wrong."

"It’s not that I didn’t lend a hand just now; I just wanted to see how you would decide, and now that I’ve seen your decision, I chose to speak up."

He was serious from beginning to end.

And was observing the bald man’s emotions.

He could tell the bald man was somewhat dissatisfied.

From this expression, it was clear the bald man was still putting on an act.
