Chapter 76

The reason why Jiang Bai left the school so directly was that he had more important things to do.

The matters at Gusu Film City had not been settled yet. Some of the finishing shots had been agreed upon at the time, so he had to rush back.

Therefore, after staying in Tiandu for another day, Jiang Bai returned to Gusu Film City. While being warmly received by Huang San, Jiang Bai finished shooting the remaining scenes of his role. It took Jiang Bai half a month.

During this half a month, Jiang Bai was unusually busy. It could be said that he was dizzy from being busy.

Firstly, it was because of the intense shooting work. Secondly, he had to deal with several women, especially Ye Qingcheng, who was becoming more and more clingy. Jiang Bai had no time to spare.

Of course, more importantly, Jiang Bai also had to constantly go back and forth between Tiandu and Gusu.

Recently, Wang Bao had intentionally or unintentionally introduced Jiang Bai to some people. They were all upper-class people, mainly at the government level. Wang Bao introduced many high-ranking officials of Tiandu to Jiang Bai. There were even a few high-ranking officials who were personally accompanied by Zhao Wuji.

During the banquet, Zhao Wuji and Wang Bao praised Jiang Bai very much. They even vaguely revealed that Jiang Bai was Zhao Wuji's successor.

Jiang Bai was surprised, but at the same time, he also attracted countless olive branches.

Many people got to know Jiang Bai and established a preliminary relationship with him. This was the main reason why Jiang Bai spent most of his time.

After the shooting work was finally finished, Zhao Wuji and Wang Bao's dates became more frequent. They even took Jiang Bai to several places to meet several high-ranking people, which made Jiang Bai even more surprised.

"Brother Zhao, recently you have been dragging me to meet this and that. Why is that?"

After a month of non-stop meetings and banquets, Jiang Bai finally couldn't help but ask Zhao Wuji and Wang Bao in front of him in Zhao Wuji's limousine.

With one sentence, the harmonious atmosphere in the car dropped to the freezing point. Zhao Wuji, who was talking and laughing just now, chose to remain silent. The smile on Wang Bao's face disappeared and was replaced by an extremely dignified expression. He looked at Jiang Bai, did not speak, and just poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Wuji, who was sitting there.

"Cough cough cough… Xiao Bai, I don't have much time."

In the end, after a few continuous coughs, sitting there, dressed in white, touched the cuffs of his suit, and held the teacup with both hands.

His voice was not loud, and his tone was very light, but it was like a sudden clap of thunder. Jiang Bai felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He sat there in a daze as he stared at Zhao Wuji, unable to say anything for a long time.

Zhao Wuji can't make it?

If the previous Jiang Bai did not understand the meaning of this, the current Jiang Bai knew it in detail.

With the rise of his status and the expansion of his strength, Jiang Bai was no longer an ignorant person. He deeply understood what Zhao Wuji meant in Tiandu.

The reason why Tiandu could be so peaceful now was all because of Zhao Wuji. He was like a sea-stabilizing needle, piercing into the roots of Tiandu, making the sea that should have been turbulent calm.

But once this sea-stabilizing needle disappeared, the consequences would be unimaginable. The turbulent waves would swallow everything.

For ordinary people, it might not change their lives, but for those who could really stand on the stage, it was a big deal.

Over the years, in Hua Xia, there were many heroes vying for supremacy, and many heroes had risen for a time, dominating a region.

Tiandu, as the pearl of Huaxia, had the most important economic responsibility. This place and the surrounding provinces had long been coveted by people. Over the years, who knew how many people, how many great figures, had wanted to stretch their hands into this one mu of land to eat fat, but without exception, they were all beaten back by Zhao Wuji.

This in addition to the status and wealth of Zhao Wuji today, it also gave him a huge power and a network of intertwined relationships.

But at the same time, Zhao Wuji had countless enemies. Throughout Tiandu, many of the rich businessmen, politicians, and local tycoons who followed him had deep grudges with people.

Zhao Wuji was still fine, he could control the situation, but once he was gone, someone would immediately counterattack, and all the losses they had suffered over the years would be taken back one by one. At that time, it would not be as simple as a reign of terror. The entire Tiandu would be reshuffled, ushering in an unprecedented storm.

"Didn't you say that you've been getting better recently?" Jiang Bai said solemnly.

"It's just the final radiance of the setting sun."

Waving his hand, Zhao Wuji smiled indifferently. He seemed to have seen through life and death and didn't care about it at all.

"How long do you have left?"

After a moment of silence, Jiang Bai asked a question that was very inappropriate, but he had no choice but to ask.

"Three months, at most half a year In fact, the doctor said that I'm almost at the end of my life. If it weren't for the obsession in my heart, the average person would have died long ago. Three months to half a year is already my limit, so I have no choice but to come forward. While I'm still alive, I'll entrust my network to you."

Zhao Wuji said with a faint smile.

Everything was so calm, just like him, calm as water.

"Didn't you go abroad? Maybe there are other solutions." Jiang Bai couldn't help asking in a low voice.

He felt that if Zhao Wuji didn't worry so much and went abroad for treatment, he might be able to live a little longer. After all, the environment and medical treatment there were better.

"It's useless to go anywhere. It's an old injury of more than ten years. Over the years, I've visited many famous doctors, but they didn't have the slightest effect. I can only watch myself weaken day by day, approaching death day by day, but there's nothing I can do. I've been to both China and abroad. I'm not afraid that you'll laugh at me. I even sent people to the mountains to search for hidden experts, but in the end, it was still useless. If it weren't for a medical expert who gave me a lost prescription a few years ago, I'm afraid that I would have died long ago. It's my fortune to be able to survive until now. How could I dare to ask for more?"

Waving his hand, Zhao Wuji rejected Jiang Bai's proposal and told him about his situation. He was still so calm, as if he had seen through death and was not afraid.

The atmosphere was extremely silent.

The three of them sat there in silence, especially Wang Bao, whose eyes were faintly glistening with tears.

To make a martial arts grandmaster in his forties, who had experienced endless storms, have tears in his eyes, it was enough to show how deep Wang Bao's feelings for Zhao Wuji were.

Unfortunately, he was powerless in this matter. Jiang Bai believed that if possible, Wang Bao would be willing to die for Zhao Wuji.
