Once, I wanted to be a good person-Chapter 361 - 78. Silly girl fell in (10,000 characters 1/2)_2
But the other party didn’t even bother to ask about the beginning and end of the incident, and directly aimed their spear at him.
Secondly... he hadn’t expected that, trusting Bai Zhi so much, he told her about the Yang Transformation Grade master who attempted to assassinate him. Yet she actually... casually mentioned it to someone else.
Although that person was her family member, her family had countless connections with the Jiang Family.
Who knew whether they might signal to Jiang Cheng that he was already prepared?
Thinking this, Fang Ze couldn’t help but to want to glance at Bai Zhi.
He wanted to see what her attitude actually was, and if she had anything she wanted to say to him.
But Lady Jin clearly sensed his intention and shifted her body slightly to block Fang Ze’s line of sight again.
Finding it impossible to see Bai Zhi, and that Bai Zhi had been silent from start to finish.
Fang Ze looked at Lady Jin for two seconds.
After a moment, he smiled, shaking his head, then removed the Superior Grade defensive treasure and the Deep Red Pendant from his wrist, placing them in Lady Jin’s hand.
Lady Jin watched Fang Ze’s actions and expressions with a cold eye throughout.
Upon retrieving the necklace, she was still not reassured and carefully checked to ensure it was undamaged.
Seeing her distrustful movements, Fang Ze shook his head, then said, "Just now, you didn’t give me the chance to finish speaking."
"Now, let me finish what I didn’t get to say earlier."
"In fact, I had long considered the scenario where my treasures would fail to protect me, resulting in my assassination by a Yang Transformation Grade master."
He pointed at the "Gold Scale" "Beauty Mermaid" displayed in the office, then said, "That’s why I’ve always given Officer Bai Zhi many interesting and valuable treasures and gifts."
"This way, even if I didn’t return, it would be enough to compensate her for her loss."
Having said that, Fang Ze spread his hands, "But now, it seems there’s no need for such precautions."
After speaking, he bowed politely to Lady Jin, then said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now, senior."
As his voice fell, he turned and left the office without any hesitation.
Meanwhile, Bai Zhi, who had listened to the conversation between Fang Ze and Lady Jin and watched Fang Ze’s disappointed and repressed departure but was completely immobile, desperately wanted to shake her head, to speak...
But... the Awakening Ability used on her was a manifestation of the World’s Laws.
She simply couldn’t break free; she was totally helpless.
So, that’s how it ended, she could only watch desperately as the door closed, feeling as if a voice inside her was roaring, her eyes suddenly blurring, as if covered by a faint mist...
Lady Jin also watched Fang Ze leave the entire time, but said nothing.
A moment later, she turned around and looked at Bai Zhi, whose tears were already swirling in her eyes, her brows slightly furrowed.

Then she undid the necklace in her hand and put it around the neck of the immobilized Bai Zhi.
Seeing Lady Jin’s actions, Bai Zhi’s gaze returned to her, looking at Lady Jin with eyes full of hatred, as if to vent her fulminating anger in silence.
A moment later, after Lady Jin had put on the necklace, she lightly touched Bai Zhi, and the stillness on Bai Zhi was lifted instantly.
In that instant, Bai Zhi, who had been suppressed for a good fifteen minutes, finally exploded!
She yelled at Lady Jin, "Lady Jin! How could you do this! You’re forcing him into a death trap!"
The first sentence had just left her mouth when her tears began to "plash, plash" fall down.
As she cried, she continued to shout, "And it wasn’t even him who borrowed this defensive treasure from me! I was the one who insisted on lending it to him!"
"I didn’t want anything to happen to him!"
"I begged my father to send you here because I wanted you to help him!"
"But not only did you not help, you even took away his only protection!" Read the latest on novelbuddy
"I!"
Bai Zhi hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly, Lady Jin slapped her across the face.
With a "smack," Bai Zhi covered her face, utterly stunned.
She looked at Lady Jin in disbelief.
Then she saw Lady Jin speak icily, "Look at yourself now!"
"Do you have any of the poise or upbringing befitting the Bai Family’s young lady?"
"For a man, you’ve started to shout and scream at your elders!"
With that, she coldly prodded Bai Zhi’s chest, "You still claim that you and he are just ordinary friends! Is this, what you call an ordinary friendship?!"
Bai Zhi was left dumbfounded...
She didn’t speak, and Lady Jin remained silent as well.
The atmosphere in the office became increasingly oppressive and silent...
After a while, it was Lady Jin whose expression gradually softened, and she was the first to break the silence.
She sighed softly, then looked at Bai Zhi’s reddened face with eyes filled with pity, saying, "That Fang Ze... is quite impressive. Although you’re a bit foolish, your taste is as good as your father’s."
That comment made Bai Zhi, who was on the verge of collapsing, almost unsure which direction her emotions should go.
She came back to her senses, her eyes like pears bathed in rainwater, looking at Lady Jin, not knowing which act Lady Jin was playing.
Lady Jin gave her a reproachful glance, "What? You don’t recognize your Aunt Jin anymore?"
Bai Zhi covered her face, remaining silent.
Lady Jin exhaled in irritation, then said, "Don’t blame Aunt Jin for being nosy."
"This necklace is from your father. Did you really think it was just an ordinary defensive treasure?"
"Do you realize the chaos that would ensue if this necklace were to be attacked and destroyed?!"
"You recklessly lent it out without knowing the consequences. If the Jiang Family’s Yang Transformation Grade truly destroys it, once your father erupts in fury, the one to die won’t just be that Yang Transformation Grade, that boy might not survive either."
