I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today-Chapter 167: : Let’s Go

Translator: 549690339

Wu Lili shared the same feelings as Tan Xiao.

She was not just astounded, shocked, but filled with uncontrollable anger!

She grabbed onto Sun Wei’s clothes, questioning incredulously, “Sun Wei, do you also think what Zhao Jiantao did was right? He killed Zhang Qi! Is that it?!”

Sun Wei frowned and said, “Lili, we all know why Zhang Qi went to the island. If he hadn’t threatened Uncle Zhao with an axe, Uncle Zhao wouldn’t have chosen him.”

Someone next to them chimed in, “Exactly, Uncle Zhao is always emotional and would never harm any of us.”

Wu Lili burst into a bitter laugh, “Emotional? Am I going mad, or are you all mad?! He killed hundreds of people, yet in your eyes, he’s still a sentimental person?”

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

When this point was made, it sent a chill down everyone’s spine. No matter what, his deeds couldn’t be whitewashed.

However, these people had become accustomed to trusting and relying on Zhao Jiantao. If they were to reject all assertions by Zhao Jiantao, what would they do? They were more willing to believe that Zhao Jiantao had his reasons.

Zhao Jiantao looked at everyone’s expressions, pondered for a moment, and spoke again, “Well, I understand not everyone can accept drastic measures in drastic times. I won’t force you. Those who don’t accept can step forward, take their belongings, and leave on their own. I will continue to bring people back from the outside. If one day, it becomes necessary to choose from among us, we can decide together through voting, how’s that?”

Bai Youwei scoffed, exclaiming in admiration, “That is an excellent move. Compared to leaving Sanshan Island to live in an unknown dangerous place, staying on the island should feel so comfortable. The issue is simply diluted and dispersed, and just by mentioning ‘voting’, everyone is lulled into complacency, and he still appears fair…”

“Perhaps he once held a position in some department.” Shen MO commented lightly, “He plays some tricks quite proficiently.”

Bai Youwei had seen enough and said indifferently, “Let’s go, this is boring.” Shen MO, “Alright, let’s pack our luggage and ask him to send us back to the service area by boat.”

Tan Xiao anxiously asked, “What if he refuses to?”

“Ha-” Bai Youwei laughed, “He’d be more than happy to see us leave; why would he refuse?”

Professor Cheng walked away with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and sighing, “People’s hearts are fickle, just as there is no Utopia in this world… Voting may seem just, but how is it different from ancient villagers sacrificing boys and girls to the river god?”

Bai Youwei yawned languidly, “Let’s go…’

Apart from Shen MO and the others, everyone else dispersed after a while.

Wu Lili intended to step forward but was pulled back by Sun Wei, who tried to gently persuade her not to act impulsively and to consider the bigger picture. Someone else spoke to Wu Lili, “Women, with long hair but short sightedness.” Wu Lili was so mad that she trembled all over.

She pushed Sun Wei away and yelled, “You can stay! I am leaving! You are all mad! I’d rather die outside than stay here any longer!”

She fled in anger, and Sun Wei hurried after her.

Someone nearby held Sun Wei back and persuaded him, “Leave her alone, didn’t you see her acting? The previous fracture was all pretend, she is just a troublemaker, spouting nonsense…”

Sun Wei hesitated, looking at Wu Lili’s retreating figure, unsure of what to do.

Throughout all this, Shen MO and Bai Youwei remained oblivious.

They were packing their luggage in their room.

Halfway through packing, Wu Lili rushed in.. She didn’t look at anyone else, she ran straight to Bai Youwei and said, “You’d better leave right away! I’ve already scattered the flower seeds here!”
