Chapter 1891 The Decisive Battle Against the Bai Family

I was just drifting off to sleep when there was a knock on the door. Zhou Chuyuan urged me to open it, and I asked loudly what was wrong. He was breathing heavily as he said, "The fighting has started. The Bai family and other families have arrived. Right now, our forces can hold off those scum, but we can't hold off the Bai family's main force. I don't know if there's any way out. Everyone needs to prepare for battle. They say we can rebuild our base, but we all have to scatter in all directions, otherwise everything we've done will be for nothing. The Bai family is still somewhat honorable; they haven't destroyed what we've built." I quickly dressed and opened the door, scoffing, "Hmph, those people don't not want to destroy our things; they just can't bear to, thinking it would take them a long time to rebuild. Those cunning old foxes, we can only face them head-on. Although the Bai family has brought many people, not many of them are skilled. We can deal with the powerful ones first. Capture the leader first, and once morale is low, those people won't be able to cause trouble for long." After I went out, I ran into Zuo Chenwei. He also knew the whole story. He never expected that his wife was the head of the Bai family. But was Bai Jingyi involved in this Bai family conflict? We were unaware of this until it was explained. Bai Jingyi herself was also unaware of the situation; her identity had never been revealed within the Bai family, only the higher-ups knew. Now that we knew, it meant the truth was out. No one wanted to keep it a secret any longer; everyone believed a major battle was inevitable. I asked her which side she was on this time. Bai Jingyi thought for a moment and said, "I think I'll stand with you. Although I share the surname Bai, and those people are my subordinates and family, there's a problem: I haven't held power for many years. The real power of life and death isn't in my hands, and those people don't acknowledge me. If this is the final fate of the Bai family, then I'll accept it. But I want to fight one last time, to see if we can turn things around. Only by standing with you can we save the Bai family from its past glory. If we succeed, and the Bai family fails but remains unrepentant, then we can no longer tolerate this." After hearing Bai Jingyi's words, our morale soared. Everyone rushed to the front lines to see how the enemy would attack. This was the mobilization for the decisive battle. There are many people here, and our forces are basically fighting against the forces of those families. However, the Bai family's forces are even greater, and we are falling behind. In the first battle, we were at a disadvantage. If we fail this time, our morale will definitely collapse. The enemy must have used this tactic to force us into a corner, but even if we are truly forced into a corner, can we fight to the death? Our mission is definitely not here. Our final destination is in the distant Great World. If we really lose here, even if we go back, we will be laughed at. If we can't even win this time, what will we use to win back our face and everything we want in the future? These things don't allow me time to think about in detail; I can only focus on the immediate situation. We have several main problems right now. First, if our people fight those families, can they hold out? If they can, they can keep fighting; if not, they'll have to retreat while fighting, but this will be very taxing on us. Being constantly on the defensive will quickly erode our morale. Also, when should we step in and fight the Bai family? For now, we're holding back. They're not attacking us, and we can't rush out. We need to see how the other families are coping. If we go out now, we'll just fall into the Bai family's trap. It's a trap. We thought we were relatively safe in this world, but the surrounding area is fraught with danger. Those old guys calculated that we would eventually strike, so they first weakened our forces, mainly to force the other families to take the lead. This move was brilliant; the Bai family didn't suffer any losses, and while those people led the charge, the Bai family members could still make great contributions. We didn't give them any chance. Although we're currently in the rear, we can send someone out to participate in the battle from time to time. Maybe we can actually find some breakthroughs. Those old guys seem powerful, but there are a few problems. The first problem is, how will they win? If they are in a leadership position, then the leader of the Bai family is Bai Jingyi on our side.
