According to Ziongzong's memory, the Bai Yaxin they encountered in a building in Xiamen was cautious, slick, and cunning to the point of being disgusting. However, the current Bai Yaxin not only speaks aggressively, but also recklessly exposes intelligence.
The stark difference in their styles of behavior makes me feel that my suspicion is justified. After all, I now have two Bai Yaxins appearing by my side at the same time.
Furthermore, if we approach the problem from a different perspective and stop fixating on whether the Bai Yaxins are "real" or "fake," what if we accept the existence of two real Bai Yaxins simultaneously? Twin brothers are not that uncommon, right?
Once I grasped this point, the situation suddenly became much simpler. As they say, those in power often become confused. I now realize that my focus of thinking in this troublesome situation has been quite misplaced.
Let me reiterate once more the purpose of this operation: to obtain evidence of Bai Yaxin committing crimes under the name of the Wanlanshan Consortium. Up until now, I have not found such evidence, let alone the fact that the three female students who came along with me are now all captured.
It can be said that I have lost both my wife and soldiers, or rather, failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice.
So, in order to obtain evidence, besides personally searching for it, there is another method: directly capture Bai Yaxin and force him to hand it over.
It sounds wonderful, but reality is cruel. After all, Bai Yaxin will not willingly let himself be caught, and now there are two Bai Yaxins.
So, the question arises: with two Bai Yaxins now, which one should I capture?
It's simple: capture both. Engaging with such a cunning person is pure waste of time, and even if I waste time, I won't get good results.
Therefore, the second problem arises: now that one has been captured, if I want to capture the other one, undoubtedly, it would require fighting six people, and they don't seem like easy opponents to fight, nor am I willing to fight them.
Furthermore, the other side still has three of our female students as hostages. Given Bai Yaxin's personality, I have no idea what kind of twisted game he might play. Therefore, for safety reasons, I cannot have a direct conflict.
And thus, the contradiction arises. Between the mission objectives and the safety of the female students, it seems that I can only choose one.
Although Bai Yaxin hasn't said anything yet, the fact that he is not a good person is already a given. Moreover, once the situation evolves to the extent I mentioned earlier, his level of deception will inevitably cause a far worse outcome than I can imagine.
Considering the pros and cons, there will always be a way to recover from a failed mission, but I cannot tolerate any harm to the female students by Bai Yaxin.
Therefore, the final conclusion is to give up on this mission. There will always be other methods for Souren Manranyama to deal with Bai Yaxin. It would be foolish to aim for a Pyrrhic victory here.
"Bai Yaxin, people sometimes mishear and misspeak. I'm not interested in this guy who looks so much like you by my feet. Let me take the female students back, and let's pretend that nothing happened today."
When I proposed this suggestion, Bai Yaxin nodded while listening. For someone with such deep scheming, nodding in this hostile situation is definitely not a simple expression of agreement. Trying to guess what he's thinking would be a complete waste of effort.
