The Strongest Female Cannon Fodder in Quick Transmigration
Chapter 120 Terror Island 17
Wu Jun is a smart man. He wants to show his love for Ruoshui by talking about Bai's parents in order to improve his relationship with Ruoshui.
“Mr. Wu, please let us explain. It’s not what you think. Ruoshui and we usually have a very good relationship. We’re having a conflict right now,” Mrs. Bai quickly explained.
“Yes, yes, we’re family, it’s normal to have a fight every now and then,” Mr. Bai chimed in.
"No need to explain. I entrusted my daughter to you with the utmost trust in you two," Wu Jun said, feigning indignation and speaking righteously.
“I always believed that my daughter, Wu Jun’s daughter, would receive the best care from you two, but I never expected that a child who isn’t your biological daughter will never be your biological daughter, so how could she possibly live a good life?”
Then Wu Jun put on a pained expression and turned to Duo Ruoshui, saying:
"Dad is sorry, my daughter. You've suffered so much all these years. It's all my fault for making you suffer so much."
As Wu Jun spoke, his eyes reddened, and he looked as if he was in great pain.
"Oh," Ruoshui completely ignored Wu Jun's heartfelt words and simply said "oh."
Seeing Ruoshui's expression, Wu Jun continued:
“Daughter, if you have any grievances, tell Dad. Dad will stand up for you.”
"I hope you can understand your father. I had no choice but to do this back then. I did it for your safety."
"You know, you're my only daughter, and I love you."
Wu Jun's eyes were red, and he looked like he was about to burst into tears. Coupled with his kind face, he really looked like a pitiful old father.
For most people, they would have been deeply moved, followed by a touching scene of family reunion and tears.
But who is Ruoshui? Having traveled through so many worlds, what kind of people hasn't Ruoshui seen?
Ruoshui sat on the sofa with her arms crossed, still aloof, a slight smirk playing on her lips.
"Oh? Is that so? Do you really love your daughter?" Ruoshui said, her voice clear and crisp, with a hint of sarcasm.
“Yes, your father loves you. It was a last resort to put you in foster care,” Wu Jun said.
"Since you love your daughter so much, why did you send her to that island to die in the first place, Mr. Wu?" Ruoshui said.
"If this is what your love is like, I can't bear it. I want to keep my life for a few more years."
Ruoshui's tone was sarcastic, and her eyes were deep, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.
Only then did Wu Jun look at Ruoshui seriously. Facing Ruoshui, he felt even more pressure than when facing his troublesome political enemies.
Beneath Ruoshui's youthful and innocent appearance lies a composure and maturity beyond her years.
At this moment, Ruoshui had her legs crossed, arms around her chest, and back slumped into the sofa, leisurely watching Wu Jun.
He looked as if he were watching a good show; his eyes were bright and deep, as if they could see through everything, and all lies and hypocrisy would be exposed in front of them.
Wu Jun felt that he was being incredibly naive and ridiculous at that moment.
Wu Jun was very clever. At this moment, he stopped trying to curry favor with Ruoshui. He knew that his little tricks were no match for Ruoshui.
But he didn't know where to begin, so he could only look at Ruoshui, hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Ruoshui casually picked up the tea from the coffee table, took a small sip, and immediately the aroma of tea filled her mouth. Ruoshui turned to Wu Jun and said:
"Tell me, Mr. Wu, what is the purpose of your sudden visit?"
Seeing that Ruoshui had already made herself clear, Wu Jun saw no need to continue with the pretense.
Wu Jun then looked at Ruoshui, then at Bai's parents, and said:
"You two can go down first. My daughter and I have something to talk about."
“Mr. Wu, Ruoshui and you have just met, and she is not familiar with you yet. I think it would be better if we were still here to avoid an awkward atmosphere,” said Bai’s mother.
Bai's mother didn't want to leave; she wanted to stay and chat with Wu Jun a bit more, hoping to get closer to him and build a good relationship.
"Don't make me say it a second time," Wu Jun said coldly.
Wu Jun usually has a smiling and amiable face, but I never expected him to be so frightening.
Bai's parents were afraid that staying any longer would anger Wu's army, so they had no choice but to leave.
At this moment, Bai Yuwei also woke up and came downstairs.
Wu Jun looked at Bai Yuwei, seemingly hesitating about something.
Seeing this, Ruoshui said, "It's alright, she's not an outsider. Just tell me what's on your mind."
Bai Yuwei walked straight to Ruoshui and sat down next to her. Wu Jun also sat down, glanced at Ruoshui, cleared his throat, and said:
"Miss Bai, to be honest, I've come to see you today because I have something important to discuss."
At this point, Wu Jun changed his address for Ruoshui to "Miss Bai" instead of "daughter."
He knew that trying to get closer to Ruoshui was no longer effective; Ruoshui was not someone who could be easily fooled, and he had to lower his stance at this point.
"I believe that Miss Bai has gained a certain understanding of our organization after these two days of investigation, and Miss Bai should be aware of the organization's strength."
"So the reason I've come here is to invite Miss Bai to join our organization."
"Our organization's influence extends to various regions and countries, and we control the economic lifeline and political power of these countries."
"After joining our organization, power, wealth, fame, and other things that everyone craves will be readily available. Joining the organization is like taking a leap to the top of the world."
Wu Jun's words were full of praise for the organization called Ideal Land, and he became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Oh, that's amazing," Ruoshui said in a cool tone. Although she said it was amazing, her tone was full of disdain.
Seeing that Ruoshui remained unmoved, Wu Jun then said, "Miss Bai may not be interested in material things, but what about supernatural abilities?"
Wu Jun looked confident; he was certain that Ruoshui would be interested.
But Ruoshui remained lounging on the sofa with her legs crossed, carefully examining her fingernails, occasionally blowing away non-existent dust from under them, showing little interest.
Wu Jun did not give up trying to persuade Ruoshui: "Miss Bai, you don't know, the organization's power goes far beyond controlling the economy and politics of various countries."
"The organization also has a secret that ordinary members do not know: the organization's leader, the Son of Heaven, can bestow extraordinary abilities upon outstanding members."
"After being blessed by the Son of Heaven, one will possess all sorts of superpowers, such as the ability to fly to the sky and dive into the earth. This is what makes the organization truly formidable."
"Miss Bai is a smart woman and will make her own decision. So, Miss Bai, are you interested in supernatural abilities?"
"Not interested," Ruoshui said in a cool tone, turning her hand over to examine her beautiful nails in the light.
After Ruoshui said she wasn't interested, Wu Jun's expression showed a moment of surprise, because very few people could remain uninterested after hearing such a great temptation.
No, it's not just rare, it's practically impossible for anyone to resist such temptation, except for Ruoshui.
However, Wu Jun immediately regained his calm and composed demeanor.
Wu Jun has been in politics for many years and has a lot of experience in how to control a person.
Since bribery doesn't work, then coercion will.
Wu Jun's expression suddenly hardened, completely losing his previous amiable demeanor.
“Miss Bai, you must have killed Su Nanxi, right?” Wu Jun said.
"No, it was one of your Guardians who killed him. Don't try to pin it on me," Ruoshui said.
Wu Jun: "..."
“Although you didn’t kill her, Miss Bai, Su Nanxi’s death is still related to you,” Wu Jun said.
"If you think it's related, then it's related," Ruoshui seemed completely unconcerned.
Seeing Ruoshui like this, Wu Jun could no longer remain calm.
“Miss Bai!” Wu Jun suddenly shouted, “I hope you understand the seriousness of this matter.”
“So what if it’s serious? Why are you suddenly shouting? You’re scaring people,” Ruoshui said.
Ruoshui's complete disregard for Wu Jun's words infuriated him. The veins on his forehead bulged with anger, but he still had to treat Ruoshui with a gentle smile.
“Miss Bai, you are not a member of the organization, so you don’t know that the organization has a protection mechanism for each member.”
“If a member of the organization dies at the hands of another, the organization will not let it go,” Wu Jun said with a solemn expression.
"So what?" Ruoshui remained fearless, completely disregarding the organization. Ruoshui was arrogant, but she had the right to be.
Wu Jun continued, "As you know, the organization has a department called the Guardians. Most of the Guardians are people who have received the blessing of the Son of Heaven."
“Each of the Guardians is exceptionally capable; even the weakest among them is a top-tier assassin.”
“Guardians are scattered all over the world, Miss Bai, where do you think you can escape to?”
"Of course, as long as Miss Bai joins the organization, all these problems can be solved. Once Miss Bai becomes a member of the organization, the organization will no longer pursue the matter of Miss Bai killing Su Nanxi."
"Not only that, the organization can also help you uncover all evidence related to Su Nanxi's death, ensuring it will never lead back to Miss Ruoshui," Wu Jun said.
After listening to Wu Jun's words, Ruoshui smiled slightly, her smile both wicked and alluring.
“Mr. Wu, I hope you can understand a few things. First, why I am running away. To be honest, I really don’t take your so-called Guardians seriously.”
"Secondly, I didn't kill Su Nanxi. His death has nothing to do with me."
"Third, I have absolutely no interest in your so-called organization, and your so-called Son of Heaven, he's still only timidly hiding behind the scenes. He's nothing but a shady character."
"You!" Wu Jun was so angry that he couldn't speak when he heard Ruoshui belittle the organization she believed in.
“What’s wrong with me? I know I’m pretty, you don’t need to say it out loud,” Ruoshui said.
Wu Jun turned and left in anger, afraid that if Ruoshui continued to talk, he might really be driven to do something out of control.
Before leaving, Wu Jun said to Ruoshui, "Miss Bai, I hope you understand that one should not be too arrogant."
"Sorry to disappoint you, my friend, I'm just that arrogant," Ruo said, adding fuel to the fire.
Wu Jun had never met anyone like Ruoshui before. Neither bribery nor coercion worked on her. Wu Jun was so angry that he could only turn around and leave.
