C827 Parting Injury

Lin Bai's heart was in turmoil, while the seven women who were waiting in the courtyard were even more frustrated.

They wanted Lin Bai to be by their side, but they also understood how unrealistic this idea was. The more powerful the person was, the greater the responsibility they had to bear. Some things were Lin Bai's, and even they couldn't reject him. Therefore, right now, they only hoped that the matter would be as simple as Zhang Sanming said it would be. There wouldn't be any unnecessary complications.

However, Lin Bai's delay made them feel somewhat uneasy. Even the laughter in the courtyard was clearly less than before. Little Jingxing and Lizhen blinked their black eyes as they stared at their mother and aunt. They wondered if the two of them had also felt the departure wound that was already beginning to form in the courtyard.

Just as the ladies were anxiously waiting, the door to the courtyard opened with a creak. Then, Lin Bai walked out and gently embraced Liao Manyun, who was the closest to him, and kissed her on the cheek. Upon seeing Lin Bai's actions, the ladies did not make a move. However, their bodies were all trembling slightly. At this moment, they understood that what awaited them was still a farewell.

"If I were to make another trip in two days, would you guys blame me?" Lin Bai sighed lightly, but his hands insincerely reached into Liao Man Yun's embrace and gently caressed that soft and plump breasts.

However, he did not struggle, nor did he resist Lin Bai's actions. He allowed him to continue eating some tofu, and after a long while, he said gently, "Don't worry, we will be fine. You have a lot of things to do, and we will wait for you at home. We also believe that you will return!"

Since they couldn't stop him, they could only wait. However, whether it was Liao Manyun or the rest of the ladies, they all knew in their hearts that Lin Bai was worth their guard.

Spring snacks are short, and parting is the longest. It was only a night later when Shen Lingfeng called, and the matter of the Southwest Insect Disease became even more serious. Although they had already transferred troops to the disaster area, the situation of the Insect Disease didn't stop, and the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range had already turned into a giant nest, endlessly nurturing poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Even the authorities were forced to release the news.

Departure was always the hardest thing in the world. Although they knew that there would be a day when they would meet again, their hearts were thinking about what might happen during this period of time when they were separated. The girls' eyes were also filled with tears, but under Lin Bai's insistence, they did not go to the airport to see them off.

At the airport, the atmosphere was extremely tense. When Lin Bai arrived, Chen Baian and Shen Lingfeng were chatting nonstop with their brows tightly knitted, as if they had run into a problem. The biology experts from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were also holding blueprints and saliva was flying everywhere. They seemed to be debating about something.

The only thing that puzzled Lin Bai was that other than these two groups of people, there was actually another group of people gathered beside the plane. These people were dressed extravagantly, and had extremely delicate faces with huge sunglasses resting on them. Under the influence of the ladies, Lin Bai could be considered to have some understanding of luxury goods. The clothes worn by these people were most likely worth quite a sum.

This group of people were currently in the midst of a heated discussion, and bursts of laughter could be heard from their mouths from time to time, as if they were talking about something interesting. Moreover, these people would occasionally cast their gaze on Shen Lingfeng and the other experts, and their mouths were filled with whispers.

Especially when they saw the old and worn-out Daoist robes Zhang Sanming wore, the expression in their eyes became even weirder. One by one, they covered their mouths and laughed non-stop, their eyes turning as if they were sizing up a rare animal that was about to go extinct.

"Prepare to board the plane. Everyone is here and waiting for you alone!" Seeing Lin Bai walk over, Shen Lingfeng quickly walked over to welcome him, and after looking at him with a smile on his face, he teased: "All of you have to come with your tail between your legs. I thought the sister-in-law might want to leave something behind before she let you out!"

"Stop teasing me here. If Yilan were to hear this, it would be hard for her to recognize you as her senior from now on!" Lin Bai chuckled upon hearing this. He then swept his gaze over the group of people who were speaking loudly, lowering his voice and asking, "Where are these people from?"

"The people from the literary world are all famous celebrities or something like that. They want to come with us and have a few literary and art performances to relieve the disaster!" After Shen Lingfeng heard what Zhang Xuan said, embarrassment appeared on his face and he explained to Lin Bai.

He didn't know when it had started, but Hua Xia had gotten used to it. Whenever there was a disaster or something like that happened in a place, there would inevitably be people from the literary world who would go there to do things.

Actually, it was a good thing. In the disaster area, the situation was critical and the hearts of the people were low. The soldiers and volunteers who received the disaster were also in low spirits. Even a few of these literary events could raise the morale of the people. However, the current situation was different from before. How could any of these celebrities endure such hardships? In the disaster area, they would inevitably have to go through all sorts of hardships.

Things like relief supplies were already tight to begin with, and the conditions were even more difficult. These guys would pick and choose when they got there, and if they made such a request, they might even delay the disaster relief process. Judging from their current appearances, these people might not be friendly people. When the time comes, they might cause some trouble. It would be unwise to bring these people along!

"This is the order from the authorities, and it is also the custom of the past years. There is no way I can reject it." "Just wait and see. After we get off the plane, I'll get someone to specially arrange these guys!" Shen Lingfeng noticed that there was a hint of depression between Lin Bai's brows, so he hurriedly explained.

Lin Bai heard this and sighed. He understood that after Shen Lingfeng got his seat, his thoughts would naturally be different from his own thoughts, and he did not say much about it.

"What kind of plane is this? He used to perform outside, but he's always been in first class. How can he be seated in such a crowded place!?" Just as Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng boarded the plane, they heard a commotion coming from the cabin.

Before the two of them could say anything, another voice echoed in the cabin, agreeing with the voice of the speaker. Moreover, these people were all looking at Lin Bai as if they shared a common enemy. Looking at their postures, Lin Bai immediately understood the reason for their actions. In the entertainment circle, there was an unwritten rule: the bigger the player, the later they had to appear. Only this way would they be able to identify themselves.

But now that Lin Bai arrived late, he made them wait for him at the airport. It was obvious that he had triggered the nerves of these people, causing them to lose their sense of superiority as public figures, which was why they were so rowdy.

"We are going for a disaster relief, not an acupoint performance, or a concert or something. The conditions will definitely be a little more painstaking. It's just a few small matters, so let's bear with it and then we'll be done!" At this moment, a charming female voice came from the crowd, speaking warmly to the young celebrities who were making a fuss about their seats.

As soon as the words left her mouth, a burst of mocking words came out from the crowd, "I heard that Miss Xiao Wei's family background isn't very good, and she owes others quite a bit of money. She has suffered quite a bit when she didn't go on the dao path, of course, you would suffer a lot, but how could we, the delicate and precious ones, compare with the difficult and difficult Great Celebrity Xiao!"

"That's right. He thought that after putting on a few shows with red dots, he would become a big shot after producing two records. He even started pointing fingers at us. He really doesn't know how good he is!" Sounds of agreement continuously sounded out from the crowd as they ridiculed Xiao Wei.

Hearing these people's words, Lin Bai couldn't help but look towards Xiao Wei. He saw that the little girl's figure was quite graceful, and she wore an extremely simple jeans and t-shirt, appearing to be full of youth and vitality. Although she didn't have any makeup, but just her temperament alone made her seem as if she was just a few blocks away from the people around her.

Originally, she had signed a business advertisement contract, so as long as she went to show off on the platform, she would be paid up to seven figures. But after hearing about the Southwest Bug incident, Xiao Wei didn't have any hesitation and rejected this business activity, instead choosing to take the easy route in order to boost the morale of the disaster relief efforts as soon as possible. Who would have known that she would run into such people.

"That's right! Do you think we're all as anxious as Eldest Miss Xiao to go to the disaster area in the southwest?!" "If it wasn't for the company's rule that there must be several public service shows every year to show off our public spirit, I wouldn't even care about how many people died there. As long as I can eat and drink to my heart's content, what does the life or death of these people have to do with me!" At this moment, he heard the voice of dissatisfaction towards Xiao Wei again.

"So you are not going to the disaster area for the sake of disaster relief, but for your own reputation and status!" Hearing these people's words, Lin Bai's face revealed a slight smile. He continued, "What a pity. I thought you guys would willingly go to the disaster area to take a look at the mentally damaged victims. Who would've thought that the situation would turn out like this!"

Just as Lin Bai finished speaking, someone inside the cabin disapprovingly said, "We've been here to watch the show and have not heard about the insect plague for many years. We just want to see what's rare. Who cares how many people have died!"

"So that's how it is!" Hearing the hearty laughter coming from the crowd, Lin Bai thoughtfully nodded his head. Then, he gave a simple and honest laugh, seemingly muttering to himself as he said to Shen Lingfeng in doubt, "Tell me, what kind of reaction do you think the video I just made would have after it was uploaded to the internet? Will they lose their fans?"

The moment the voice was heard, the cabin immediately fell into a deathly silence! Those young celebrities who had been targeting Xiao Qiang turned their heads in shock. They stared at Lin Bai, who was holding his phone at the side, the corners of his mouth curling up, his face full of simple and honest smiles.
