Villain Heard the Housekeeper's Voice (BL)
Chapter 46 Hero Song PTSD
Jing Yi was choked by Fan Ming's blunt words and was unable to respond for a long time.
That's too hasty. It turns out that the expression "I have a friend" has become so common that even the world of novels is not immune to it.
If he had known this, he wouldn't have asked.
Fan Ming got a big bite of the melon for no reason.
Jing Yi pursed her lips, cast a reproachful glance, and refused to admit it: "Secretary Fan, don't put yourself in other people's shoes. This is an office, and it's not good to use such explicit words."
He tried his best to suppress the emotions in his eyes and not reveal a single bit.
"Is it too explicit?" Fan Ming's eyes flickered mischievously: "This is just the beginning."
Jing Yi: "..."
"Besides, what's wrong with the office? This kind of atmosphere has a sense of taboo."
Jing Yi: "..."
It's terrible. Fan Ming is no longer the simple and capable Secretary Fan before. Look at the garbage in his head. It's so yellow and his brain has fallen into the Yellow River!
Blinking, Jing Yi suddenly remembered something: "Secretary Fan, you have such a wealth of theoretical knowledge, how did you absorb the knowledge points?"
Fan Ming was stunned by Jing Yi's slightly outrageous words, and it took him several seconds to react, "I've been reading comics recently, I'm addicted to them."
Jing Yi said bluntly: "It has a little color."
Fan Ming: "..."
He coughed lightly and said, "Butler Jing, please don't say such explicit things in the office."
In the past, he really wouldn't read this kind of stuff, but recently, maybe because Zou Ting's harassment was a little too annoying, he went to the bookstore to relieve his boredom and accidentally saw a few new comics. The style of the comics was quite to his liking, and the titles were also literary, so Fan Ming bought some and took them home.
He originally wanted to use comics as a way to relieve stress, but who would have thought that this small comic book could contain so much secrets. From then on, he opened the door to a new world.
Fan Ming stepped in.
It took more than a month to get here.
It was because he had read too many comics, and he felt something was not right between Li Wenzhao and Jing Yi, and he couldn't help but ship them as a couple.
But today it seems that the CP he was supporting has come true!
Jing Yi was speechless for a few seconds, then smiled with narrowed eyes: "Secretary Fan, is it boring to read comics alone? Do you sometimes feel that it would be nice to share with someone?"
Fan Ming's eyes lit up: "You watch it too?"
"I won't watch it." Jing Yi said, "Secretary Zou, please talk to him."
Fan Ming was stunned, his eyes slightly suspicious: "I feel like you are making fun of me."
Jing Yi said seriously: "People in the capital city don't cheat people in the capital city."
Okay.
It's hard to find a bosom friend. Fan Ming nodded, "Then I'll go find him after get off work."
Jing Yi pursed his lips and smiled, completing a perfect backstab, and quickly ran back to the office.
Let's hurt each other, Secretary Fan.
·
After returning to the office, Jing Yi still felt a little uncomfortable, especially after seeing Li Wenzhao, all he could think about was the phrase "undress and sit on someone's lap".
He didn't even know how to face Li Wenzhao.
That won't work.
Li Wenzhao has a golden finger that can hear his inner voice at any time. He doesn't dare to complain in his heart, but he is afraid that he will lose control.
After thinking for two seconds, Jing Yi pursed his lips and smiled. There is a solution.
Li Wenzhao was working diligently at his desk. He noticed the butler coming back and raised his eyes slightly. Before he could say anything, he heard a loud and clear singing voice in his ears, which made his eyebrows tremble.
[The river flows eastwards, the stars in the sky are the Big Dipper, hey hey hey hey, they are the Big Dipper, a friend of life and death, a bowl of wine, we leave when we say leave...]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
The butler has only been out for a short time, how come he has become so crazy again?
Jing Yi put on headphones, washed away by the rough singing voice, quietly pressing his own thoughts.
He turned his head and saw Li Wenzhao facing him, his mouth opening and closing rapidly.
"Huh?" he shouted.
Li Wenzhao also shouted: "Take off your headphones."
Jing Yi took it aside and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
[There is no rule against bringing headphones to the office.]
[Does my comfort disturb your eyes? ã
"You disturbed me."
Jing Yi looked at the headphone jack.
[Is there? There is no sound leakage from this headset. ]
Li Wenzhao: "I heard it from your heart."
Jing Yi: "..."
[You can't play like this, right? It's fine if I listen to my inner voice, it's fine if I don't have any secrets, but now when I listen to a song, I can speak louder than the leaky headphones? ]
Jingyi didn't believe it.
How could there be such a heaven-defying golden finger? It must be that the young master is playing tricks on him.
Li Wenzhao had a headache and asked, "Is "Hero Song" so good to listen to?"
Jing Yi: "..."
He moved his fingers in disbelief.
The next second, Li Wenzhao asked, "Does "Walking Around" sound good?"
Jing Yi: "..."
Okay, he believed it.
Gou Wuchang, it's bad enough that he hooked the wrong soul, but he even gave the promised golden finger to someone else. I'm afraid he has Parkinson's disease!
If you are so confused at work, you will be fired sooner or later!
Jing Yi's defense was completely broken. He took off his headphones and cursed in his heart, not noticing that Li Wenzhao's pupils contracted.
...The dog is the devil, who hooks the wrong soul and promises the golden finger.
They are all very common terms, but when combined together, they almost become an incomprehensible truth -
Jingyi has seen impermanence.
The reason is that the wrong soul was taken away.
I don't know what I discussed with Wuchang, but I got a chance to be reborn, and he promised to give the butler a golden finger.
It seems that this is the reason for revealing one's true feelings.
It's just that the butler was too slow to react, and still thinks that the golden finger was snatched away by him.
Today, Li Wenzhao finally understood where the inexplicable sense of separation that was mixed in with the young butler came from.
When the old housekeeper of the family retired, he recommended his son to Li Wenzhao to take over the position. Before taking over, Li Wenzhao met "Jingyi" in person.
However, "Jingyi" at that time was still a serious, respectful and attentive professional housekeeper with good professional ethics and well-organized housework. At a young age, he had his own style of calmness and maturity, very much like his father.
Therefore, Li Wenzhao felt at ease to recruit people.
But on his first day at work, Butler Jing gave him a surprise.
Li Wenzhao had never seen the old housekeeper's son before, so when "Jingyi" performed a magic trick for him at home on his first day at work, he didn't doubt it.
My previous impression was that "Jingyi" was prepared in advance to get this job, but he is actually a bit more lively and outgoing.
Coupled with the unexpected fact that he could hear his inner voice, that little bit of abnormality was quickly ignored by him.
Even when dealing with a Chinese fraudster, when Jing Yi accidentally mentioned that he had no relatives, he just thought that the other party was talking nonsense in a trance.
I didn't expect the truth to be like this.
...Jingyi.
...Have you ever died once?
How did they die? How did they get the chance to be reborn? Is this chance permanent or intermittent? Is there a price to pay? What is consumed as a medium to reveal one's inner thoughts? Will it affect one's life?
The most important thing is...will Jingyi leave?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Wenzhao felt inexplicably excited.
If Jing Yi disappeared in the capital, disappeared in the country, or even disappeared abroad, he had enough means and methods to bring him back.
What if I disappear from this world?
If a day really comes when he disappears in both the time and space sense, where should he find someone?
Li Wenzhao was frightened by his increasingly deep fantasies.
"..."
"...Young Master, Young Master? Young Master!"
Li Wenzhao was startled back to his senses by the sound that was getting closer and closer, and his expression was unusually confused: "What?"
"What are you daydreaming about?" The butler stood in front of him and pointed at the table: "Your pen tip is about to pierce the document."
Li Wenzhao lowered his head and found that he had been clenching the pen tightly in his hand. Because he was holding it too tightly, the tip of the pen was pressed apart and the thick black ink destroyed a small piece of the document.
He raised his hand and casually put down the broken pen.
Jing Yi thought it was his song that caused the trouble, so he quickly closed the app, took off his headphones, and didn't dare to listen anymore. "Master, you don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
[Is there any disease that makes you unable to listen to music, or unable to listen to too noisy music? ã
[It makes sense, after all, it's written like this in novels. Every overbearing CEO must have some strange diseases that they don't want to tell others about.]
[Fear of the dark. Claustrophobia. Fear of blood. Emotional disorders.]
[Oh, and the most common stomach disease is unique to domineering CEOs. If a domineering CEO doesn't have some weird diseases, he would be embarrassed to say that he is a domineering CEO when he goes out.]
[So what is Li Wenzhao? Does he suffer from PTSD after listening to Han songs? ]
[Giggle, giggle, I've never heard of this disease...]
"..."
Seeing the housekeeper start to imagine wildly, Li Wenzhao coughed lightly and lowered his eyebrows, "I'm fine."
Jing Yi was a little unconvinced: "Master, are you too tired?"
Working overtime day and night during this period has emptied Shen Shubai's family assets. He must not have had a good rest.
The protagonist has a halo, so Li Wenzhao can only rely on his own wisdom and hard work to save the Li family from inevitable death.
This good villain who is strong and resilient simply makes Jing Yi love him deeply.
Jing Yi ran to the water table and poured Li Wenzhao a cup of hot tea, then slipped back to take out his cell phone, ready to exercise his power as housekeeper and ask Aunt Fang to make a pot of soup for Li Wenzhao to nourish his body.
He is such a good housekeeper who is perceptive and dedicated to his job, haha.
"I'm fine." Li Wenzhao pinched his brows to hide the strange look on his face: "It's just that Shen Shubai has returned to China, and I'm worried that he will find a way to counterattack."
"Oh."
Jing Yi nodded. He couldn't help with work matters. He was just a useless little loser who liked to slack off at work.
But thinking of the bed in the lounge, Jing Yi felt that he could also be a good housekeeper who made the bed for his employer and persuaded him to rest.
Having made up his mind, he turned around and prepared to go next door.
"Jingyi."
"hold head high?"
Li Wenzhao sat in the chair with a calm expression, but his words were urgent and heavy: "How have you considered it?"
"ah?"
What?
Li Wenzhao: "Being with me."
Another straight ball!
Jing Yi's Adam's apple rolled, and his chest gurgled, "I've considered it. I've considered it."
Li Wenzhao's expression calmed down a little, and he said in a gentle voice, "Come here."
Jing Yi walked over obediently, with the tips of his ears slightly red.
"I don't want to force you." Li Wenzhao's eyes suddenly showed an indescribable worry, "I'm just afraid that you will run away."
Jing Yi was already somewhat at a loss for what to do after the sudden blow. He stood there in a panic and whispered, "I, I won't run."
He likes Li Wenzhao, why would he run away?
Li Wenzhao was slightly startled, and a soft confession rang in his ears. The butler expressed his feelings in a low voice, which was full of nervousness and helplessness.
Li Wenzhao chuckled and stood up: "I heard it."
Jing Yi blushed, and was almost driven to the point where he didn't know what to do because of his own inner voice bug.
But now that things have come to this, there's no point in being shy, the window paper has been broken, he should just be open and honest, right? It's no big deal, huh.
"I heard it..." Jing Yi forced himself to remain calm: "It's nothing big, just a golden finger. Anyway, I'm telling the truth and I'm not lying to you. You're good to me, I know it myself, so..."
Li Wenzhao chuckled: "What are you talking about? It's all nonsense."
Jing Yi was so nervous by his smile that he forgot what to say next: "..."
He was a little annoyed: "Don't interrupt."
Li Wenzhao chuckled twice, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart just now dissipated: "Okay, go on."
"..."If you forget, you will never remember Jing Yi again.
"Anyway, that's probably it." Jing Yi blinked rapidly, his fingers tapping the table unconsciously: "...I like you, too."
After saying that, Jing Yi lowered his eyes slightly, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.
Phew, I finally said it.
He shouldn't have listened to Secretary Fan. What opportunity was he looking for? Look at the direct shot Li Wenzhao threw. It was so straightforward and abrupt. He couldn't keep up with the drama.
Jingyi felt a little regretful.
If I had known earlier, I should have come in and confessed my feelings to catch Li Wenzhao off guard.
...His performance just now was totally substandard.
Li Wenzhao was once again amused by his inner thoughts. The young butler's psychological activities were so rich and there were so many flaws in his thinking that he didn't even have the heart to point them out.
"So from now on, I am your boyfriend?"
"Yeah." Jing Yi nodded with a red face, not knowing what he was saying: "Yes, you adapt to it, I am also your boyfriend, please take care of me in the future, and make progress together. This counts as being together, and we will share the happiness and grow meat together..."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi: "..."
He closed his eyes and turned his head away in annoyance. What on earth was he talking about?
"Don't be nervous." Li Wenzhao took his hand, and his warm body temperature gave him a full sense of security: "Did I scare you by being too impatient? Then slow down the progress and follow the principle of sustainable development."
Jing Yi blushed: "...Okay."
The relationship was finally confirmed. Li Wenzhao felt soft in the heart and wanted to be intimate with his boyfriend for a while. However, time did not allow it and there was an anxious knock on the office door.
Jing Yi retracted his hand and sat back in his seat: "First, work first."
Li Wenzhao calmed down and sat down: "Come in."
"It's not good, Mr. Li." Fan Ming came in hurriedly holding a computer and showed Li Wenzhao the colorful stock market lines on the screen: "Someone is sniping our overseas funds and shorting Li's futures leverage. The current loss has reached an astonishing 100 million."
Li Wenzhao was only surprised for a moment, then he reacted: "When did it start?"
"Half an hour ago." Fan Ming said quickly, "The other side is too crazy. This is a trick that kills one thousand enemies but injures eight hundred of our own. Who is so cruel to surround us and attack us?"
Li Wenzhao said calmly, "Has Shen Shubai arrived in the capital?"
Fan Ming was stunned: "You mean..."
Li Wenzhao said calmly: "Go, as planned before."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
After Fan Ming left, Jing Yi asked carefully, "Is there going to be a fight?"
"Almost." Li Wenzhao stood up and put on his coat: "I might be a little busy next time, can you stay here by yourself?"
"Of course." Jing Yi said, "I'm not a child who needs company, you go ahead and kill everyone."
After finally using the right idiom, Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "Children don't need company, but boyfriends do."
Jing Yi blushed.
Li Wenzhao pinched his face lightly, and the butler's soft skin was just as good as he had imagined.
"Wait until I come back."
Ju watched Li Wenzhao leave. He was actually a little nervous in his heart. After all, Shen Shubai was the author's own son. After going abroad, he came back and started to take revenge. Who knew what conspiracy he would come up with.
Going against the protagonist's halo, the chances of winning seem a bit low.
Jing Yi closed his eyes, forced himself to clear the messy thoughts in his head, sat down and began to sort out Shen Shubai's story line.
After traveling through time, he has been recalling the story over and over again. It is not difficult for him to remember the protagonist's highlights.
It's just that the order in which the plot occurs is a bit confusing.
Jing Yi simply took a pen and lay down on the table to draw a simple time story line.
From starting from scratch, to making a name for himself, and then to rising to fame, Shen Shubai's life nodes were clearly depicted on paper by Jing Yi.
Then fill in the relevant plot about Li.
···
Ten minutes later, Jing Yi's eyes suddenly widened.
·
·
Li Wenzhao sat at the first seat in the office, and a group of people in front of him were busy responding to the attack from Shen's.
This is a real business war, not the kind of petty fighting that Jingyi had before.
If you make a mistake, you can lose tens of billions in a matter of minutes.
Everyone in the conference room was on high alert.
As the two sides were arguing, both sides lost a lot of money. At this time, Fan Ming suddenly received a message and whispered in Li Wenzhao's ear: "Mr. Li, Shen Shubai wants to meet you."
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows without surprise: "Where?"
"Jinghe Tower." Fan Ming said, "Shen Shubai said he wanted to make peace with you."
Li Wenzhao was stunned, looking at the fierce battle in the stock market. The Shen family had not yet reached the end of its rope, so why was they suddenly asking for peace?
"No." Li Wenzhao said.
Fan Ming went out to reply, and soon came back with a strange look on his face, whispering, "Shen Shubai said that the young master is in their hands."
Li Wenzhao's expression changed.
Fan Ming immediately said: "I have called the studio, and they said that the young master went to the toilet and disappeared..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Wenzhao suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.
As soon as he went out, Li Wenzhao saw Jing Yi running towards him in a hurry.
Li Wenzhao: "Jingyi?"
Jing Yi was running too fast along the way and was out of breath, so he simply talked to Li Wenzhao using his mind.
[Don't be fooled, the young master is not in Jinghe Building, he is in Cangming Pavilion to the west. Shen Shubai is playing tricks on you. ]
[The purpose is to force you to give up your interests. He will not let the young master go back! ]
Jing Yi remembered that this was an important plot point. After Shen Shubai returned from abroad, he launched an all-out attack on the Li family.
Li Mingzhi was brought out of the illegal coal mine by Shen Shubai and used as a bargaining chip to threaten Li Wenzhao. After getting what he wanted, Shen Shubai shamelessly broke the contract. Not only did he not send the disabled Li Mingzhi back to the Li family, but he threw him back to the coal mine.
Li Mingzhi had disabled legs and could not do heavy work, so Ning Jiang deliberately humiliated him and sent him to the coal mine, where there were farm workers who never saw the sun, and Li Mingzhi suffered even more torture.
But the plot has been changed into a mess. Li Mingzhi did not go to the illegal coal mine. What Jing Yi was afraid of was that Shen Shubai would send a healthy Li Mingzhi in.
Jing Yi quickly finished the story in his mind and asked anxiously, "Master, do you understand?"
Li Wenzhao said without hesitation: "Fan Ming, you take people to Cangming Pavilion to find Ming Zhi, and I will go to Jinghe Building to hold Shen Shubai back."
Fan Ming was once again stunned by the spiritual connection between the two people, but now was not the time to be surprised, he quickly came back to his senses: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Secretary Fan." Jing Yi suddenly spoke.
Fan Ming paused.
"Be careful that the other party may have weapons." Jing Yi reminded: "If you see a knife, you must stay away from it."
Fan Ming was stunned: "...Okay."
There was a security team in the company, and Fan Ming took most of them away and hurried to find Li Mingzhi's whereabouts.
Jing Yi felt a little panic for no reason.
Li Wenzhao recalled the voice he had heard before, that Secretary Fan would take the knife for him.
"This time?"
Jing Yi nodded, not caring about the public, and nervously grabbed Li Wenzhao's arm: "Be careful."
"Okay." Li Wenzhao touched his head soothingly.
·
After Li Wenzhao left, Jing Yi was still uneasy.
He paced back and forth in the top-floor office, trying hard to recall the plot. He had been living too comfortably these days, and he was so indulged in enjoying himself that he even forgot that this was a bloody and sadistic story.
It's not a melodramatic story, but it's mainly about torture.
The whole text is full of sad moments, and if you are not careful, your family will be broken up.
He thought about it carefully and found nothing he had missed, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
I don't know how long it has been, but there is still no news from Li Wenzhao. Jing Yi is so anxious that he can hardly sit still.
At this time, someone knocked on the office door and Li Wenzhao's assistant walked in: "Assistant Jing, someone wants to see you."
·
Half an hour later, Li Wenzhao arrived at Jinghe Building.
A sturdy man with tattoos outside the door looked at him unkindly. After a moment, he stepped aside and led the way: "Come in, Mr. Shen has been waiting for a long time."
Knowing that he had come with ill intentions, Li Wenzhao did not dare to be careless. He had already warned Shu Bei before coming. Now he just had to delay until the police arrived.
If everything goes well, evidence of Shen Shubai's kidnapping will be enough to determine the sentence.
Li Wenzhao walked into Jinghe Building for the second time with a calm expression. Even though he had made all the necessary preparations and had thought of all the possibilities, he was still shocked by the scene before him and his pupils dilated.
Shen Shubai chose the largest private room in Jinghe Building, on the top floor. There was a bodyguard guarding the door. After confirming that Li Wenzhao had arrived, the bodyguard opened the door.
"Brother?!"
Li Mingzhi sat steadily in his chair, surrounded by his colleagues from the crew. The moment the door opened, Li Wenzhao heard a voice saying, "Good luck in starting the filming of our adapted drama!"
Li Wenzhao blinked and was completely stunned.
What does Shen Shubai mean?
"Brother, why are you here?" Li Mingzhi put down his wine glass and quickly ran to the door: "Did you know that our crew is having a dinner here?"
Li Wenzhao frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually grew: "Where's your phone?"
Li Mingzhi scratched his head and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. The launch site was so chaotic this morning. I don't know when I lost my phone, and I haven't had time to buy a new one. What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Wenzhao was stunned for a few seconds, his face turned pale, he turned around and walked away quickly, his back showing a rare look of anxiety and panic.
"Brother?"
Li Mingzhi scratched his head in confusion: "What's going on... suddenly he came, and suddenly he left."
"Ming Zhi, is there something wrong?" someone shouted in the box.
"It's okay." Li Mingzhi turned back to the box: "Let's continue."
·
Li Wenzhao quickly left Jinghe Building. The further he walked, the more uneasy he felt.
Shen Shubai went to so much trouble to lure him here, his real purpose was definitely not to force him to make concessions, otherwise he would not have released the only bargaining chip in his hand - Li Mingzhi.
So what was the purpose of tricking him out of the company?
Li Wenzhao suddenly remembered the 500 harassing text messages he had received before.
...Jingyi!
Li Wenzhao's heart started beating rapidly and he tripped over the threshold when he went out.
"Brother." Li Xu and Li Ting received the news and rushed over. Shu Bei also arrived in a police uniform: "Why did something happen again? Where is the kidnapping suspect?"
"At the company."
Li Wenzhao walked out eagerly, taking out his cell phone and calling Jingyi.
A moment later, he went crazy amid the sound of the power-off notification.
Chapter 47 Disadvantages of the Ghost World's Technological Reform
Jing Yi had just woken up when he heard a noisy whisper in his ears.
"Is it him?"
"...It doesn't look like it. Are we being fooled?"
"That's impossible. How could Mr. Shen lie to us? What good would this do for him?"
"Never mind. The person has already been tied up. Let's wait until he wakes up."
"That's right, the voice can't be faked. Once we confirm it's him, we'll send him off together!"
"Um!"
"..."
Jing Yi lay there motionless, his hands tied behind his back. He felt a definite sense of restraint on his eyes. He quietly opened his eyes and saw a black cloth across his eyes. He could only see a few shadowy figures in front of him through the tiny gaps in the cloth.
It's terrible, there is more than one kidnapper.
Jing Yi was originally waiting for Li Wenzhao to return triumphantly at the Li family, but he still underestimated this conspiracy. The other party's target was never Li Mingzhi, but him.
Jing Yi remembered that as soon as he left the office, his mouth and nose were covered by a towel with a strange smell, and he fainted within two seconds.
When I woke up again, I was here.
I don't know if Li Wenzhao has discovered that he is missing. This group of people were able to sneak into Li's company and kidnap him. Maybe there are accomplices in the company.
Jing Yi's mind was completely confused.
This is a plot in the novel that has never appeared in the original book. Shen Shubai did not kidnap Li Mingzhi, but kidnapped him.
But why is this?
He and Li Wenzhao had maintained a friendly and harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates before today. Why did Shen Shubai tie up a housekeeper? Did he expect Li Wenzhao to give in and back down?
He couldn't understand this move.
Moreover, this group of kidnappers did not look very professional. They were chattering a lot, probably because they saw that he was still asleep. Some were playing games, some were chatting, and there was also the sizzling sound of barbecue.
This group of people did not seem to be kidnappers, but rather people traveling to the suburbs.
Look at this wonderful relaxation.
At this time, a young girl spoke up: "Mingming, did you give him too much medicine? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"
Another female student answered: "I'm not a professional, so how can I know how much medicine is needed to make him faint? I was afraid that he would struggle and ruin our plans, so I poured out half the bottle."
"So many?" This was a man's voice.
"Brother Fang Heng, I don't want to either. Isn't this for everyone's safety?" The girl who drugged him said coquettishly, "He's sleeping like a dead pig now, isn't that better?"
"But he's not awake. How can we be sure that he was the one who leaked the information?" This time it was a deep male voice. Judging from the tone, he should be quite old.
"Wait another half an hour. If he still doesn't wake up, I'll use some tricks. I'll tear his legs apart and the pain will surely wake him up."
"Pei Pei, I heard before that you murdered your own sister. I didn't believe it at first, but today I see that you are really cruel and ruthless."
The female voice named Pei Pei sneered: "If you can do it, come on, okay?"
Jing Yi listened with fear and trepidation, knowing from the information leaked by the other party that he was in danger - this was the Star Jiekong Five-member Group that he had previously formed and exposed. For some unknown reason, they escaped legal sanctions and now came to seek revenge on him.
...The clue was provided by Shen Shubai.
How did Shen Shubai know that he was the whistleblower?
Jing Yi thought back to the past. He and Shen Shubai had met more than once and had had brief conversations. It was probably those unintentional contacts that made Shen Shubai remember his voice.
Shen Shubai was also present on the night of the revelation, and he also heard the sound of the bug in his body going out of control, so it was not difficult to recognize his voice.
So, from the beginning to the end, the person Shen Shubai wanted to get rid of was not Li Mingzhi, but... him?
Jing Yi: "..."
The protagonist is making too much fuss.
To kill a cannon fodder NPC like him, you have to use such a big strategy as luring the tiger away from the mountain. It seems that there are not enough people in the class and they are free.
Jing Yi looked at the swaying figure in front of him, thinking that Shen Shubai was indeed the protagonist. He was smart enough to use the people's eagerness for revenge to kill someone with a borrowed knife. On the contrary, he himself was innocent. If Li Wenzhao came to his house aggressively and interrogated him at this time, he would appear even more innocent.
Too bad for the protagonist.
Forget it, he should find a way to escape first, otherwise he was worried that his boyfriend would go crazy.
Just as Jing Yi was thinking about how to wake up naturally and harmlessly, he suddenly heard the man beside him say impatiently: "Why aren't you awake yet, Pei Pei? Don't you want to cut off your hands and feet? I'll leave him to you."
Pei Pei said dissatisfiedly: "Are there no men here? A girl like me has to do this kind of thing."
A calm male voice said, "In terms of ruthlessness, few men can match you."
Pei Pei: "You..."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Yang Zai Lun said, "The most urgent thing now is to wake him up, listen to the noise, and confirm whether he is messing with us. Why are they fighting among themselves first?"
Pei Pei turned around unconvinced: "Why are you so arrogant? Do you think you are a high and mighty movie star? But you are just a homosexual rapist, worse than a street rat, bah!"
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
The kidnapper started to act arrogantly, and it was a good time for Jing Yi to wake up. He pretended that the effect of the drug had just worn off and he woke up with a little discomfort. He moved his legs, which attracted the attention of people around him.
Fang Heng: "He's awake."
Qiu Guzheng's face darkened and he kicked Jing Yi's leg: "Get up and talk."
This kick was somewhat filled with anger and shame after the failure of his verbal attack, and the force was so strong that Jing Yi felt a sharp pain in his calf.
He cursed through gritted teeth.
Just wait, Lao Deng, since you love playing football so much, you will get to play prison football someday.
Five celebrities who had their reputations ruined surrounded him, staring at Jing Yi without blinking.
"say."
"Open your mouth when you wake up."
"Don't play tricks, speak honestly, or I'll kill you!"
"This is the wilderness, don't even think about shouting. No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"
Jing Yi: "..."
Big brother, big sister, he hasn't said a single line yet. Do all of you in the entertainment industry like to steal the spotlight so much?
You are allowed to speak, but you are not allowed to speak.
Do you have to be so crazy?
Jing Yi was so frightened by the noise that he shuddered, shrank his neck and whispered, "You, you, who are you?"
The voice was soft, revealing the helplessness and immaturity of a small animal.
Jing Yi pursed his lips. From now on, he had to speak with a pinched throat.
Fortunately, it was not that difficult. His voice was naturally soft, so he could lower it a bit and create a voice that was both obedient and soft.
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the five Stars whose houses were ruined were all stunned.
"That doesn't seem like it."
"Why do I feel like they are somewhat similar?"
"Don't talk nonsense. That person spoke clearly and his voice was cheerful and pure that day. He is completely different from this person, okay?"
"...After what happened that day, you're still paying attention to the voice of the whistleblower?"
"Are you ill?"
"..."
"If I hadn't listened carefully, how would you have thought of finding someone now?"
"Why not just kill him? He's already been caught, and he'll die if he's released. It's better for us to die together! We can also find someone to take the blame with us."
"That's enough." Qiu Gu interrupted Jinxing's chattering, which gave him a headache: "What are you fussing about? Are you afraid that the information you leaked isn't enough?"
The four of them shut up then, but they still seemed unwilling to give in to anyone else.
Jing Yi huddled up in fear, trembling. Seeing his cowardly look, several people did not take him seriously at all. They left Qiu Guzheng to interrogate him and then went their separate ways.
Qiu Guzheng stared at Jing Yi suspiciously, "Your name is Jing Yi?"
Jing Yi tilted his head, as if to confirm his position: "Ah."
"Do you know who I am?"
"Know......"
Qiu Guzheng's face changed. He could recognize this? Is this person his die-hard fan?
"Know, know, know..." Jing Yi seemed to be stuck: "...way."
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
He turned his head and said, "What does Shen Shubai mean? Let's catch a stutterer?"
Four people: "..."
Jing Yi: "Shen Shen Shen Shen..."
Qiu Guzheng helped: "Shen Shubai."
Jing Yi nodded vigorously and said with some effort: "Shen Shen Shen Shen... Shen Shubai, yes, yes, it's mine..."
Qiu Guzheng was stunned: "You know him? What is your relationship? Is he playing tricks on us?"
Jing Yi: "My... sizzle sizzle (exhausting) - enemy."
Five people: "..."
"No, damn, it's too hard for him to talk."
"I agree. How come he has such a big tongue? He has a nice face, but why does it take so much effort for him to speak?"
"Could this person be the whistleblower?"
"It's impossible. The person who spoke that night spoke very quickly and accurately. I was afraid he would flick his tongue in my face. It was definitely not this loser in front of me."
"Don't forget, he is Li Wenzhao's assistant. Can an assistant stutter?"
Jing Yi got anxious when he heard this and quickly moved his butt: "No, no, no... I'm not..."
Fang Heng frowned and said, "You still dare to deny it? We arrested you in Li Wenzhao's office."
The more anxious Jing Yi seemed to be, the more he couldn't speak. His face turned red with anxiety, and he said with great effort: "I'm not an assistant, I'm not an assistant, I'm not a butler, I'm not a butler!"
"..." x5
Jing Yi continued with his suffocating tone: "Come and get by...hiss, I'm here to deliver the food."
"..." x5
The five of them all turned their heads away, not wanting to say a word to Jingyi.
Afraid of being taken away.
They left Jing Yi behind, and the five of them huddled together, discussing in a low voice.
"Are we being fooled?"
"Is Shen Shubai using us to take revenge?"
"Not necessarily. What if he cheats us?"
"Him? Why don't you ask him to introduce himself?"
"..."
"Brother Qiu, tell me, what should we do?"
While the others were chatting, Jing Yi quickly raised his head and looked at the environment through the gap under the blindfold.
It seemed like an abandoned warehouse, with debris piled up against the walls, the windows were in disrepair and in tatters, and there were five beds in the corner, as well as a lot of daily necessities.
It seems that these people lived here during their escape.
Jing Yi looked around and his heart slowly sank. Not to mention the back door, there wasn't even a window here that he could climb up. The nearest windowsill, as far as he could tell, was two or three meters off the ground.
He couldn't jump up when his limbs were still intact, let alone now.
It's over.
She has just confirmed her relationship with Li Wenzhao and now she is about to become a widow. He is indeed not a good boyfriend.
Just as he was thinking about it, the voices of the five-member house-collapse group suddenly stopped.
Jing Yi immediately lowered his head and began to tremble as usual, "You you you guys... want want want..."
"Stop talking." Yang Zai Lun cursed, "You've wasted your energy, you're finished."
Jing Yi: "..."
Qiu Guzheng motioned for them to be quiet, took out his cell phone and called Shen Shubai, turning on the speakerphone: "Boss Shen, are you kidding us?"
Shen Shubai laughed on the phone, "How's it going? Did you catch the person?"
Qiu Guzheng said calmly: "Yes."
"Hahahahahaha, no wonder Li Wenzhao chased to my office just now to ask for someone. He looked so anxious. It feels so refreshing and comfortable! Hahaha, since the person has been caught, why did you come to me again?"
Qiu Guzheng said: "Boss Shen, this is not how you do things. You agreed to provide us with the whistleblower's information, but now the goods are not what they claim to be. Are you kidding us?"
Shen Shubai was stunned: "...what?"
Qiu Guzheng walked to Jingyi and kicked him again: "Speak!"
Jing Yi: "Say oh oh oh oh sayâwhat? You're not going to kick me."
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
Shen Shubai: "..."
The voice reached Shen Shubai's ears through the microphone. It was slightly distorted, and coupled with the suffocating stuttering, Shen Shubai was unable to recover for a while.
He asked in disbelief: "What did you catch?"
Pei Pei said anxiously: "We wanted to ask you something. According to the clues you provided, we caught this person in Li Wenzhao's office, but he stuttered and his voice didn't match. How could this person be the whistleblower? Mr. Shen, are you kidding us? Believe it or not, I will take you to jail!"
Shen Shubai: "..."
He thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, take a picture and let me see it."
Qiu Guzheng gestured and Fang Heng immediately took out his cell phone.
"Oh no, oh no..." A young man ran in from outside and said anxiously, "A large number of police are coming this way!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shubai immediately hung up the phone and disappeared without a trace.
The faces of the five members of the team who collapsed the house changed. "We've been fooled. The guy named Shen is a bastard. He tricked us into helping him kill his enemies! Let's go!"
Yang Zai Lun pointed at Jing Yi lying on the ground and asked, "What about him?"
Qiu Guzheng thought for a moment and said, "Take him away. If he is caught, he can be used as a hostage."
·
Not far from the kidnapping site, Li Wenzhao sat in a police car, with Shu Bei standing by him, "According to the location, the criminals are at the pier ahead. They are the five celebrities whose houses were ruined some time ago, Pei Pei, Cen Mingming, Qiu Guzheng, Yang Zai Lun, Fang Heng, did Jing Yi offend them?"
Li Wenzhao frowned: "No."
"Then only when we catch them will we know why they kidnapped Jingyi."
The police car was driving at high speed. Li Wenzhao tilted his head and looked out the window. The outline of the capital city's port became clearer and clearer.
The closer he got to the scene of the incident, the more nervous Li Wenzhao became.
His heart was beating fast and he felt inexplicably uneasy, as if he was destined to lose something.
This feeling is mysterious and irreversible, and more terrifying than the sixth sense.
"Captain Shu." Li Wenzhao said in a deep voice, "Can you go a little faster?"
Shu Bei knew that he was anxious, so he consoled him: "The lane has been evacuated urgently, and we will be there in ten minutes."
"Captain Shu," said the young police officer in the passenger seat, "The location shows that the criminals left the warehouse and headed for the beach."
Shu Bei said quickly: "Contact the coast guard and dispatch patrol boats to prevent the criminals from appearing at sea."
"clear."
·
After leaving the warehouse, Jing Yi had his blindfold taken off and was pushed to run towards the back mountain.
He tried to delay time, stumbling along the way. Yang Zai Lun, who was escorting him, became impatient and simply carried him up the mountain and ran wildly.
Jing Yi: "..."
Yang Zai Lun was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, running wild and having fun. He almost vomited out the food he had eaten the night before.
Fortunately, among the swaying shadows of the trees, Jing Yi seemed to see the policemen in black, and a tall figure among them.
ãYoung Master? ã
ãLi Wenzhao! ã
The tall figure paused.
[I'm here! ! The criminals are running up the mountain, I'm at your ten o'clock direction! ]
Li Wenzhao turned around without hesitation, "This way."
·
Half an hour later, the five-member team was exhausted and panting. They were all pampered bodies, and except for Yang Zai Lun who exercised regularly, the others felt a little exhausted.
When she reached the middle of the mountain, Cen Mingming sat down on the ground, out of breath: "No, I can't run anymore."
"No, the police are getting closer, it's not safe here." Fang Heng said, "Let's go quickly."
"It's really strange..." Pei Pei wiped the sweat off his face and said, "This is a remote place with dense branches. We have changed directions several times and lost our phone. How come they can always find it? Are the police pretending to be dogs?"
Yang Zailun shook the person on his shoulder, and Jing Yi almost vomited.
Qiu Guzheng said calmly: "If we don't leave now, it will be too late. Let's go to the seaside this time."
Cen Mingming heard this: "No, no, I really can't walk anymore." She waved her hands weakly: "I just evaded taxes anyway, at worst I can sell everything I have to pay the fine, I really can't run anymore."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Zailun was stunned.
Yes, he had only made a small mistake, which was against human ethics and morality and was far from the legal red line. There was no need for him to flee with them.
Yang Zai Lun raised his head and was about to say something when he heard a bang, and Cen Mingming fell to the ground with blood all over his head.
"ah!"
"What are you doing?"
Jing Yi was also startled.
He heard the sound of skulls cracking.
Qiu Guzheng threw down a stone as big as his head and said with a sinister expression: "The kidnapping was done together. If anyone wants to go back and turn himself in and put the blame on others, this will be the end."
They were just a group of ordinary people who had never seen killing, and they were shocked by Qiu Guzhen's move.
Cen Mingming fell to the ground covered in blood, and Jing Yi closed his eyes in fear.
[Haha ...
ãThe kidnapping case turned into a murder case. ã
"The beach is just ahead, take the hostages there." Qiu Guzheng stared at Yang Zai Lun, his face still stained with Cen Mingming's warm blood: "Hurry up!"
With Cen Mingming dying with her eyes open, the others dared not disobey and followed Qiu Guzheng obediently.
·
In the woods, in the shadows of the tall trees, there were two faint shadows sitting on the branches.
"Ahhh - the group of five we want to hook up this time are the ones in front, right?" Hei Wuchang yawned and asked lazily.
"Yes, that's right." Bai Wuchang looked at the fate book in his hand and said, "The fate book has also responded. Let's go over first. There are still ten minutes left. Let's finish the check and leave."
Hei Wuchang slowly stood up, glanced around, caught a glimpse of a face in the group of five, and frowned: "Hiss..."
Bai Wuchang: "What for?"
"Look, the one running sideways in front," Hei Wuchang scratched his head, "I think he looks familiar."
Bai Wuchang looked over and caught a glimpse of half of the gentle profile: "Yes, a little... but I can't remember where it is. Is it the reincarnation of the soul we hooked together?"
Hei Wuchang thought about it, but couldn't think of anything, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, whoever he is, just complete the task and leave quickly. We still have to report to Mengpo Manor later."
Bai Wuchang also threw away any doubts in his mind. Seeing that the time of death was approaching, he fell to the ground, quickly ran through the woods, and chased towards the beach.
·
At the cliff by the sea, Qiu Guzheng and others were surrounded. Jing Yi had a knife against his neck and was held hostage by the police.
Shu Bei took off his gun and stepped forward, "Qiu Guzheng, you have been surrounded, put down your weapons and surrender."
Qiu Gu was hiding behind Jing Yi, and the sharp tip of the knife pierced Jing Yi's neck.
"Jingyi!" Li Wenzhao's pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but move forward, but was stopped by Shu Bei.
Jing Yi's face turned pale with pain, and when he saw Li Wenzhao's expression change, he hurriedly said.
[I'm fine, it doesn't hurt]
At this critical moment, what he feared most was causing trouble for the police.
[Don't worry, young master. There are so many police officers here. Nothing will happen to me.]
[Even if I accidentally fall, I can swim and ensure my own safety. I will come back to find you! ]
"Boss Li, you're here too." Qiu Guzheng smiled coldly, "It seems that you care about your housekeeper very much. Then the conditions will be easy to negotiate."
Li Wenzhao asked in a deep voice: "What do you want?"
Qiu Guzheng said: "Fifty million old banknotes, a helicopter, to take us away! I will only give you one hour. This should not be difficult for Mr. Li, right?"
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the Black and White Impermanence reached the edge of the cliff.
"Five seconds left." Bai Wuchang looked at the fate book and said, "Get ready."
Hei Wuchang took out a heavy soul-catching chain, swung it, and waited for the people above to fall.
But I waited for a long time.
A cool breeze blew by, but negotiations were still going on at Yading.
Bai Wuchang patted the fate book: "What's going on? Is this thing broken? Why did someone die?"
"Ah?" Hei Wuchang leaned over to take a look: "Cen Mingming...the girl, right? She's gone?"
Bai Wuchang looked solemn: "Yes."
"............"
The two ghosts looked at each other and felt an unprecedented horror - they hadn't even hooked up yet, the person was dead, and there was no trace of his soul.
What a sin! Another huge dereliction of duty!
Hei Wuchang didn't believe it, so he grabbed the fate book and said, "How can this thing break? Is it because the WiFi signal in the underworld is too weak? Damn it, since we upgraded to high-tech, these broken things always break down, and they are not as useful as before. Our error rate is getting higher and higher. We can't expect to get a year-end bonus at the end of the year, and we are going to be scolded by Meng Po again. Forget it... I'll restart it."
Bai Wuchang's face changed drastically: "Don'tââ"
But he was still a little late to speak, Hei Wuchang shook the Book of Fate vigorously - the next second, dark clouds gathered overhead, black wind swept in, and the Book of Fate swept past, blowing down the five people on the edge of the cliff.
Wuchang: "..."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, hook them up!" Hei Wuchang opened the chains and laughed, "Five people, not one less."
Just as the two ghosts were ready to face the ghost, a shrill voice came from the top of the cliff -
"Jing Yi!"
Bai Wuchang's eyebrows jumped and he looked up in disbelief. Among the five death row prisoners falling at high speed, he suddenly saw a face that made the ghost prisoners have high blood pressure.
Oh shit!
WTF TF TF TF TF!!!
Bai Wuchang was so anxious that he slapped Hei Wuchang and spoke incoherently: "Take it back, take it back, take it back, take it back..."
Hei Wuchang shook him off: "I'm not collecting it yet, don't rush me!"
Seeing that Jing Yi was about to hit the soul-locking chain, Bai Wuchang shouted, "That's the little bastard who hooked the wrong soul before. He's very troublesome. Quickly retract the chain and don't touch him!"
Hei Wuchang was stunned: "What?!"
He raised his head and finally saw the familiar debt collector's face.
"Fuck!" Hei Wuchang frantically tried to grab the chain: "Pull back, pull back, pull back, pull backâ"
Within two seconds, he started cursing: "Fuck it, this thing needs fingerprint authentication to be taken back, my hands are sweaty, I can't authenticate it, I give up!"
Bai Wuchang: "..."
The distance was too close and the Soul Locking Chain was spread out over a large area, covering the entire bottom of the cliff. Even though Hei Wuchang had rubbed the chain until it turned into fire, he was unable to retract it in time and watched Jing Yi's body pass through the Soul Locking Chain.
Two ghosts: "..."
--broken!
·
A strong wind suddenly blew off the cliff, and Jing Yi was blown off with it. The feeling of weightlessness swept through his body in an instant, and he quickly fell into the cold sea water. His limbs were weak, and the swimming skills he was proud of seemed to have disappeared without him noticing.
Jing Yi could only watch himself sink to the bottom of the sea.
...It's so cold.
In a hazy state of consciousness, he saw Li Wenzhao breaking through the surface of the sea and swimming quickly towards him.
Chapter 48: Butler Jing's One-Day Trip to the Ghost Realm x2
After an unknown amount of time, Jing Yi opened his eyes.
It was a familiar desolate scene, with a cloudy and dim sky, no wind and no shadows in sight, a dark bridge with no end in sight, and a silence that was terrifying.
Jing Yi: "..."
After a two-second pause, he gently flattened his face and closed his eyes peacefully. He must have had a nightmare, otherwise how could he come to the Naihe Bridge again?
But it's okay to have nightmares, just get some more sleep.
It's a pity that someone didn't want him to sleep, and kept chattering in his ear.
"Where is this place?"
"It's not some new type of prison, is it?"
"It feels so eerie. Why can't I remember how we got here?"
"This place looks haunted."
"I want to go home, I don't want to stay here, it's too scary..."
"Shut up!" Qiu Guzheng said in a furious tone. He had a murderous aura and looked bad, and the moment he opened his mouth he shocked the people around him.
Seeing Jing Yi lying quietly, Qiu Guzheng walked over and grabbed his collar coldly, "What on earth is this place? Is this a conspiracy between you and Li Wenzhao? Why did you bring us here?"
Jing Yi opened his eyes, his clear pupils were beautiful and round: "Where is this place? You can find out if you look at the words on the bridge."
Qiu Guzheng was stunned: "Aren't you a stutterer?"
Jing Yi frowned and retorted sarcastically: "Have you ever seen a stutterer who speaks so fluently?"
Qiu Gu, who just reacted, looked ferocious: "..."
They were deceived by Jingyi.
His hands were already stained with blood. Killing one person was killing, and killing two was killing. In his eyes, human life was nothing more than a splash of warm blood.
Qiu Gu was looking at Jing Yi with a gradually cold look in his eyes. Just as he was about to strangle Jing Yi, a scream came from behind him -
"Ah! Yes, yes, yes, this is..." Pei Pei pointed at the stone tablet at the bridgehead out of control, his face pale and speechless.
Yang Zai Lun walked over and asked: "Why are you still infected with stuttering?"
Pei Pei hurriedly said: "Look at those words!"
The four people gathered around curiously. Next to the dark bridge stood a stone tablet. The stone tablet was tall, hidden in the black fog, and looked at them quietly in this quiet corner. There were three big characters engraved on the tablet - Naihe Bridge.
"..."
Pei Pei murmured: "Are we... dead?"
"Impossible, this must be Li Wenzhao's conspiracy. He wants to save his housekeeper." Yang Zai Lun looked around in a daze: "I know, there must be cameras here, waiting for us to confess our crimes. Yes, that's right, I'm not dead, how could I die?"
Pei Pei remembered something and pinched his arm hard, his body shaking violently: "Why doesn't it hurt... Why? Why don't I feel any pain?"
Yang Zai Lun was stunned and pinched his arm.
"..."
Fang Heng smashed and stashed things in the black fog out of control: "Come out! Who's there? Let us go back! Come out! I see you! I am willing to go back to jail, come and catch me, catch me!"
Fang Heng ran around in the black fog like a mad bull.
Everyone else, including Qiu Guzheng, was frozen with disbelief on their faces, as if the pause button had been pressed.
Jing Yi looked at the four people from afar and felt that he behaved quite well when he first met the Black and White Impermanence. Compared with this group of people, he was simply calm and composed.
But this nightmare was too long and he couldn't wake up.
......strangeness.
Fang Heng seemed to be crazy. He begged for mercy in the black fog for a while, but when it was useless, he started to go crazy. "Li Wenzhao! Shen Shubai! We were fooled by you! Come out and speak if you have the guts! What kind of man are you if you hide behind others! Come out!"
At this time, Qiu Gu noticed that Jing Yi looked calm as if he was watching a play, as if he had always been free from fear. He trembled his lips and said, "Why aren't you afraid of death?"
Jing Yi said seriously: "Why should I be afraid?"
It's just a dream, there's no need.
Qiu Guzheng: "..."
Jing Yi blinked and reacted: "Oh yes, this is your first time, so you should be afraid."
He said tolerantly: "It's okay, you'll get used to it if you die more."
"..."
Is this human language? Why can't I understand a single word?
Qiu Guzheng stumbled back, unable to accept the fact: "Impossible..."
"Nothing is impossible." Jing Yi said calmly, "Why not think more positively and be a corpse... Oh no, be a ghost."
"..."
At this time, the black fog began to surge, and two slender figures suddenly appeared in the thick fog. They had slender limbs, tall stature, and somewhat strange proportions. Faint human voices could be heard.
"How could this girl run so fast? She died on the mountain and ran back home in half an hour, forcing us to search the whole world for her."
"Okay, that's enough, we have captured all five of them."
"Yes, there is one more."
"..."
"Who! Who's there!" Fang Heng stared at the two people vigilantly: "Is it Li Wenzhao and Shen Shubai? You finally came out, take me back quickly, or I will kill you-ah!"
The tall and thin figure grabbed Fang Heng's crazy body and kicked him to the end of the bridge, "Shut up, you're making so much noise!"
The black fog dissipated, and the figures of Black and White Impermanence appeared in front of everyone, followed by Cen Mingming, whose face was covered in blood.
"Ahââ" Pei Pei screamed in fear.
Cen Mingming turned around and saw Qiu Guzheng. She was so angry that her eyes bulged out. Her face was full of resentment. She quickly pounced on Qiu Guzheng and strangled him fiercely: "You dare to kill me... Bastard, I will strangle you to death!"
"Alright, stop arguing." Bai Wuchang took out the fate book: "Come here to confirm your identities, I will take you through the underworld."
The five-member team immediately fell silent. Pei Pei shook his head and stepped back: "I won't go, I won't go..."
"This is not up to you." Hei Wuchang said, "Your life span has come to an end. The netherworld is your final destination. The sooner you leave, the sooner you will be reborn. Don't delay our subsequent work."
Bai Wuchang flipped through the fate book and said casually, "Leave the five of them to me, you go talk to Jing Yi."
Black Impermanence: "..."
He stared at me with a pair of bull eyes: "Why don't you go?"
Bai Wuchang said calmly, "I will send them away first. Their souls cannot stay on the Naihe Bridge for long. If Meng Po finds out, she will scold the ghosts."
Hei Wuchang: "Then why should you go and send him off while I go find Jingyi?"
"..."
The two ghosts glared at each other.
Then they said in unison: "Okay, let's go together."
We have been good colleagues for several years, sharing happiness and difficulties.
Bai Wuchang pulled out the soul-locking chain, framed the five ghosts at the bridge head and locked them up. He handed each of them a piece of underworld paper and said, "This is your death notice. Sign it if you have no problem. We have something else to do. You guys watch first."
"..."
·
Not far away, a young boy was sitting at the bridge head, his hands gently holding his chin, his pair of watery round eyes looking particularly well-behaved.
But only those who are familiar with his character know that this seemingly well-behaved person can be as stubborn as a donkey once he gets stubborn.
Black and White Impermanence pushed each other and came to Jing Yi. Before they could speak, they heard the boy in front of them say, "It's been a long time since we last met."
Jing Yi: (OvO)
Bai Wuchang coughed and said, "Hello, long time no see."
Seeing Jing Yi was so easy to talk to, Bai Wuchang's heart skipped a beat and sank back into his chest. It seemed that the second incident of seducing the wrong soul could still be covered up...
Before Bai Wuchang could even think of a good way to speak, he heard the boy in front of him say with a fake smile: "I finally caught you."
Black and White Impermanence: "?"
Isn't this their favorite line when they are catching ghosts?
Jing Yi has not forgotten how he was deceived by these two ghosts. First, they hooked the wrong soul and caused him to die in vain. Then, they threw him into the world of novels. They also didn't fulfill the promised golden finger. They can be said to be old swindlers.
Cheaters should be punished.
Now that the ghost is in his dream, shouldn't he bully it back?
Jing Yi stood up and took a step forward, and the Black and White Impermanence immediately stepped back with a strange look on their faces.
Huh?
Is it effective?
It seems that Black and White Impermanence are also ashamed of their dishonest actions.
That ghost can still be saved.
Jing Yi quietly straightened his chest. This moral high ground has now been occupied by him! As long as he doesn't come down, the Black and White Impermanence can only look at his chin.
"You two are liars." Jing Yi pursed his lips and said, "You promised to let me be reborn, why did I get reborn into a novel world?"
Bai Wuchang said with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's mainly because the real world is very strict. With our job levels, we can't control everything for the time being, so the world of novels is the best choice."
Jing Yi was led astray: "No one cares about the novel world?"
"Not yet." Hei Wuchang said: "Besides, we have already chosen a suitable rebirth identity according to your requirements. The monthly salary is 100,000, right? No overtime, right? Is the employer a good person?"
Thinking of his employer, Jing Yi's face turned red involuntarily... Well, he was lucky to meet Li Wenzhao, and it was not in vain that he was reborn this time.
"Then you haven't fulfilled the golden finger you promised!"
"Yes." Hei Wuchang pointed at his Adam's apple and said, "It's the loudspeaker. The mark is right here. I saw it all."
Jing Yi: "..."
Jing Yi: "???"
No, he has a golden finger?
So, the reason why Li Wenzhao could hear his inner voice was not because he had special abilities, but because he forced himself to do so?
Just because he has a loudspeaker installed on his body.
Jing Yi: "..."
Hei Wuchang saw that he looked a little strange, so he reached out and touched his shoulder: "What are you doing...hiss, ah!"
Hei Wuchang stepped back, covering his palm as if he was burned. Bai Wuchang quickly supported him: "Idiot, he is a living soul, why did you touch him? You were burned by the yang energy, right?"
Hei Wuchang leaned over and said, "Didn't I forget...hiss, it hurts so much."
Jing Yi looked at Hei Wuchang whose face changed drastically. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression suddenly became a little ugly: "Will it hurt?"
Hei Wuchang said: "A dead ghost is also a ghost, how come it can't feel pain?"
Jing Yi: "..."
So, this is not a dream?
Jing Yi's chaotic thoughts suddenly became clear, and scenes from the past appeared in his mind one by one. The last memory stayed on the top of the cliff where the cold wind was biting.
Yes, that's right, he was kidnapped and fell off the cliff with Qiu Guzheng and fell into the sea.
so......
Jing Yi lowered his head in disbelief and looked at his hands: "So, I'm dead again?"
Then Li Wenzhao...
"Actually, not really." Hei Wuchang scratched his head: "Just like last time, you were - um?"
Bai Wuchang quickly covered his partner's mouth and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Mr. Jing. You accidentally entered the Naihe Bridge. Can we take you back?"
Jing Yi: "..."
He narrowed his eyes and started to talk nonsense: "You two... have hooked up with the wrong person again?"
Wuchang: "..."
Jing Yi suddenly realized what was going on. It was indeed the case.
In this case, he was in no hurry to leave. As an unlucky man who had died wrongly twice, he felt that he should have some qualifications to bargain with the God of Death.
After thinking it over, Jing Yi sat down at the bridgehead leisurely, holding his chin and asked softly: "Can I meet the old lady Meng Po this time?"
Wuchang: "..."
Hei Wuchang was simple-minded and said impatiently, "No."
"Oh, you need real-name authentication to cross the bridge." Jing Yi said indifferently: "I can't cross."
Hearing this, Black and White Impermanence breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second, they heard the ancestor in front of them say innocently, "Then I will go and hang a banner, write a blood letter, kneel on the bridge and cry. If so, will Meng Po come over?"
"..." Black and White Impermanence were sweating.
Bai Wuchang hurriedly said, "Mr. Jing, we can discuss it. Everything can be discussed. Why do you have to disturb the old lady Meng Po?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips: "Then let's discuss it."
Jing Yi's attitude changed so suddenly that Bai Wuchang was stunned. After thinking for a while, he tried to probe: "Why don't you just tell me what you want?"
Jing Yi didn't even think about it: "That's your sincerity, how can I bring it up?"
After a pause, he raised his chin and said, "But first of all, you need to take this speaker away."
Bai Wuchang frowned and said cautiously, "Mr. Jing... this cannot be removed before the host dies completely, and there is no way to add a buff."
What?!
Jing Yi's eyes widened: "So I have to be a trumpet for the rest of my life?"
Being a big colander, there are no little secrets.
Then what's the difference between being naked in front of Li Wenzhao?
He looked at the Black and White Impermanence with displeasure: "Your golden fingers have no sense of boundaries."
"However, I can help you adjust it a little bit..." Bai Wuchang thought for a moment, then came up to Jing Yi and whispered a few words.
Jing Yi's eyes lit up slightly, and he said excitedly: "...Okay then."
Bai Wuchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then we will send you back first."
Jing Yi turned his head away: "When did I say I was leaving?"
"You didn't agree just now?" Hei Wuchang looked horrified: "So you are just playing with us now?"
Jing Yi raised his chin and retorted: "Then you two killed me twice in vain!"
Black and White Impermanence froze for a moment, and was suddenly speechless.
Yes, they were poisoned by high-tech products and made two big mistakes on Jingyi, which made him unable to return home and forced him to be reborn into the world of novels.
They should be happy that Jing Yi doesn't care about their dereliction of duty.
Hei Wuchang pursed his lips and turned away: "Then what else do you want?"
Jing Yi: "Money."
He looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You should have a way to get the currency of the novel world, right?"
Bai Wuchang couldn't help but ask: "How much do you want?"
Jing Wudidong said: "Of course the more the better. It's not easy for me to come here. You can't let me go back empty-handed, right?"
Bai Wuchang: "..."
Do you think this is a good neighbor visiting you? Bringing some local specialties home before leaving?
Hei Wuchang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll help you raise money."
"How long do I have to wait?" Jing Yi asked.
Bai Wuchang glanced at the chaotic mist in the sky, his face somewhat serious: "Mr. Jing, the flow speed of the novel world is different from that of reality. Up to now, ten days have passed in the world you are in."
Jing Yi: "......!!!"
Jing Yi couldn't sit still when he heard this, "Then I'm leaving, don't forget to give me the money, otherwise I will write a blood letter to Meng Po."
"..." Bai Wuchang was silent for a few seconds: "Okay."
After the compensation terms were agreed upon, Jing Yi followed Bai Wuchang towards the Rebirth Pond. When they passed the Naihe Bridge, he curiously asked, "Are all five of them going to drink the soup and be reborn?"
Hei Wuchang said, "How is that possible? There are two people who are going to hell, especially the one named Qiu. Rape is one of the unforgivable sins in the underworld. He will probably go to the fifteenth level. Only when he has redeemed all his sins can he get a chance to reincarnate again. However, he will most likely not be able to be reborn as a human."
Jing Yi didn't feel sorry for Qiu Guzheng's arrival at all. He was anxious to get back to the Li family. His soul had been out of his body for ten days. Li Wenzhao should be very anxious, right?
Jing Yi paused for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking of. Hei Wuchang almost knocked him into the pool of rebirth without checking. "What happened?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips, his expression complicated: "Well... I just want to know, is my corpse... body still there?"
Bai Wuchang looked at the fate book and said, "Yes, it shows that your body is in the intensive care unit 806 of the Capital City Hospital."
Jing Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Li Wenzhao would bury him.
"Let's go, then."
In the chain at the bridge head, Yang Zai Lun saw Jing Yi being sent away and asked anxiously: "Why can he go back?!"
Jing Yi turned his head without thinking: "Ha, you don't know that I have someone underground."
"If you mess with me, you'll be in big trouble!"
Fang Heng heard this and rushed forward with hope in his eyes, but his body was blocked by the chains. "Butler Jing! Assistant Jing! Take me with you, I want to go back too! Please!"
"No." Jing Yi shook his head: "I'm already one of those cases of resurrection. It would be too scary if there were two more."
Wuchang: "..."
Bai Wuchang tapped the Rebirth Pond gently, and the stagnant water began to flow. Yellow Spring Mysterious Light flew in from all directions, forming a light gate. Bai Wuchang stepped aside and said, "Mr. Jing, walk into this door, and you will return to your own body."
Jing Yi stared at the light gate for a few seconds, then looked at Wu Chang suspiciously: "I won't come back again, will I?"
"Definitely not." Hei Wuchang said, "How can someone fall three times in the same place?"
Jing Yi narrowed his eyes: "Swear."
Bai Wuchang: "..."
Hei Wuchang said impatiently: "Okay, okay, I swear."
Jing Yi was satisfied, and took two steps forward. Then he thought of something and turned around: "I don't think I went there this way last time. Which of you kicked me?"
"..."
Hei Wuchang couldn't stand it any longer! He called Jing Yi into the door with one palm.
Bai Wuchang made a complicated handprint and a bank card followed Jing Yi and disappeared into the darkness.
"It's done, the Plague God has been sent away." Hei Wuchang clapped his hands in satisfaction and returned to the bridge: "I don't want to go to hell anymore, you take them there, I'll go find Meng Po."
The chains automatically separated into two simple prisons. Pei Pei and Qiu Gu were trapped together and pulled away from the Naihe Bridge.
Pei Pei screamed in horror: "Where are you sending me? Aren't I going to reincarnate on the Naihe Bridge?"
"Reincarnation?" Hei Wuchang sneered, "You wishful thinking. You two have killed people, and you haven't been punished in the world of the living. Your crime is even more serious. You must first see the judge, and then go to hell to serve your sentence. You can only reincarnate after you are released. In your next life, you will be a dog or a pig. Remember not to do bad things again."
Qiu Gu was holding onto the chain tightly: "No, no, I won't go!"
The chains undoubtedly spun upwards, wrapping the people into two balls of black mist, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
Silence returned to the Naihe Bridge, and dark clouds rolled over the sky, swallowing up all the sins.

Capital Hospital, critical condition 806.
The instrument at the bedside was beeping. The person on the bed had snow-white skin and was thin and frail. He had been lying there quietly for half a month.
The ward was empty and quiet. A tall man sat silently beside the bed, his face haggard and his clothes messy. Although he was still wearing a suit, he was no longer as energetic as he was half a month ago.
Outside the ward separated by a door, Fan Ming was overwhelmed and blocked the three young masters of the Li family.
"Sorry, Mr. Li said no one can disturb me."
"Can't we?" Li Mingzhi stood on tiptoe and peeked in the window: "I am also very worried about what happened to Butler Jing, but my brother is holding him back and won't let us see. How is Butler Jing?"
Fan Ming was stunned.
How about it?
It's very bad. When Jing Yi was pulled out of the sea by President Li, he still had a heartbeat. He was treated in the hospital for half a month, but his condition got worse and worse. Since yesterday, he almost lost his spontaneous breathing. The hospital sent Li Wenzhao five critical illness notices in a row.
Fan Ming watched his boss become increasingly depressed and became so anxious that he didn't know how to help.
"Third Master, I'm sorry, I don't know." Fan Ming blocked the door and didn't let anyone get close: "Wait for Mr. Li to come out, then you can ask him yourself."
"But he won't come out." Li Ting said anxiously: "I don't know where the Jing family got the news from, but they have called me more than a dozen times."
Fan Ming still said the same thing: "Sorry."
·
Inside the ward, a breeze rushed in through the window that was not closed tightly. After a while, the boy on the bed fluttered his eyelashes and slowly opened his eyes.
What caught his eyes was the monotonous white ceiling, and his nostrils were filled with the pungent smell of alcohol. Jing Yi turned his eyes with difficulty and saw Li Wenzhao standing beside the bed.
It was unknown how long the other party had not slept. His handsome face was full of fatigue and haggardness, his eye sockets were sunken, and his beard was dark blue. He was staring at the instrument on the bedside without moving, and did not notice that he had woken up.
Jing Yi opened his mouth, feeling that his body functions had deteriorated a lot after coming back this time, and a simple movement was more strenuous than before.
He slowly raised his hand, his slightly cool fingertips touching the broad, warm palm beside the bed, and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Young Master..."
Li Wenzhao was stunned.
Then she turned around mechanically and met his gaze with disbelief.
Jing Yi said softly: "I'm back."
Li Wenzhao was stunned. He had imagined Jing Yi's expression and tone when he woke up. He had been expecting it for too long, and was disappointed for too long. When the surprise came, he was a little overwhelmed.
Jing Yi recovered for a while, and felt that he had accumulated some strength. He supported himself on the headboard and sat up, smiling, "Young Master?"
Li Wenzhao kept his eyes on him. Sensing the familiar breath, he gently bent down and hugged the person on the bed into his arms, his movements were gentle, for fear of hurting the person.
"I'm back..."
"Yeah." Jing Yi nodded and was held obediently.
Li Wenzhao must have been scared by him. He had lost a lot of weight in just over ten days. He felt a little distressed and snuggled in the arms full of security and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry, did I wake up too late?" Jing Yi's voice was muffled.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much time talking to those two ghosts. I made Li Wenzhao wait for so long.
"I'm glad you're back." Li Wenzhao gently stroked his thin back, holding him tightly without resistance, "Don't disappear again next time."
Jing Yi: "Yeah."
He never wanted to leave again.
After they hugged each other for a while, they heard a strange noise and something fell to the ground.
Li Wenzhao came to his senses and turned his head to see a small black and gold card appear out of thin air on the ground beside the bed. There was no logo on the card itself. "What is this?"
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, then his eyes were filled with surprise, and he struggled to get out of bed: "Master, this is a good thing, mine, I want to get down..."
"Don't move." Li Wenzhao held his restless shoulders and said, "I'll let the doctor give you a comprehensive examination first."
However, Jing Yi couldn't sit still at all, and kept moving his butt towards the bed anxiously: "Card, card, my card."
ãMoney, money, my money! ã
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows, picked up the card on the ground, and then rang the call bell at the bedside. Turning around, he saw the housekeeper holding the card with excitement and smiling very happily.
Li Wenzhao rubbed his head: "What is this?"
The boy on the bed smiled slyly, as if hiding a treasure, and carefully put the card into his hand, "Master, I robbed Wuchang's money to support you."
Li Wenzhao: "......?"
Chapter 49: Read your mind and listen to your inner voice!
The doctor came faster than expected, and in very much in line with the style of domineering president literature, a dozen doctors in white coats crowded around the bed.
"Miracle! This is simply a miracle in the history of life!"
"His vital signs were about to disappear completely, but he suddenly woke up. Incredible! Really incredible!"
"The heartbeat is normal, the breathing is normal, the blood pressure is normal, all the reactions are normal... He actually recovered!"
"And there are no aftereffects! How surprising!"
Jing Yi: "..."
He obediently served as a monkey in the zoo for a while, and was obediently watched by others, but the words spoken by this group of people seemed as if they did not want him to come back alive.
Jing Yi's handsome eyebrows frowned.
Li Wenzhao could hear Jing Yi's thoughts and knew that he was uncomfortable, but for the sake of his health, he waited until the doctors finished their examination before asking him to leave.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Jing has fully recovered and all indicators are normal. You two can be discharged from the hospital at any time."
Li Wenzhao slowly let out his first breath in half a month.
After sending the doctor away, he closed the door and returned to the ward. When he saw the housekeeper's expression, he was stunned.
Author: Xilanshu
Jingyi: 0v0
[Quick, quick, quick, Master, check how much money is in your bank card! That's a specialty I brought back especially for you! ]
The Black and White Impermanence were habitual liars, and he was afraid that he would get nothing for Li Wenzhao.
Li Wenzhao was not in a hurry. He locked the door and slowly walked towards the bed.
Jing Yi looked up at him expectantly, but Li Wenzhao kept getting closer and closer. Oh, maybe he still wanted to hug her. Jing Yi lowered her eyes shyly and opened her arms...
Then my face was gently pinched.
"Tell me." Li Wenzhao sat down beside the bed and held his hand: "Where have you been these days? How did you get this card?"
Jing Yi: "..."
Hmm? Don't you want to hug me?
Li Wenzhao pressed the corners of his lips and said, "No, explain the problem first."
Oh well......
Anyway, he and Li Wenzhao are already so close, there is no need to hide these small details, and the origin of the card does need to be explained.
Jing Yi sat obediently and told the story of what happened after he fell off the cliff. He explained where he had been and said guiltily, "I didn't know that the speed of time in the two places was different, otherwise I would have come back earlier. I'm sorry for making you wait so long."
However, Li Wenzhao's eyes were calm, and he did not look happy at all: "They won't catch you by mistake next time, right?"
Jing Yi said: "I made them swear an oath, and, like Hei Wuchang said, people can't fall to death three times in the same place, right?"
Li Wenzhao clenched his fingers and said, "Judging from the work attitude and ability of those two, it is impossible for them to dig the same hole only twice."
Jing Yi was amused by Li Wenzhao's choice of words and sentences and laughed until he had laughed enough. He whispered, "No matter how many times they arrest me... I will definitely come back."
Li Wenzhao's seemingly calm eyes were dark, and his slightly drooping eyelashes hid his surging emotions.
After all, the Black and White Impermanence are fantasy characters that transcend technology. Most people feel awe and fear towards them. Although Li Wenzhao finds it unbelievable, since Jing Yi said so, he has no reason not to believe it. He is just afraid that this kind of thing will happen again.
If Jingyi loses his breath in front of him again...
Then he might really go crazy.
Jing Yi looked silly, but his intuition was sharp. Seeing that Li Wenzhao didn't say anything for a long time, he knew that this man was still afraid. He took the initiative to get up and hugged Li Wenzhao very boldly.
"...They won't come again. Just forgive the two crazy and troublesome cows and horses at work. Besides, I got some compensation."
The young butler took the initiative to throw himself into his arms. How could Li Wenzhao refuse? He clasped his arms, closed his eyes and felt what he had lost and regained.
"......good."
"Then let's take a quick look at Kari... Hmm!" Jing Yi was stunned and suddenly let out a cry of surprise and pain.
Li Wenzhao became anxious: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Jing Yi arched his back on the bed in a twisted position, his face changed drastically, and he held his left leg which was in an unnatural and tense position, groaning: "Leg, leg, my leg is cramped... oooh."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He was scared to death.
After more than ten days of inactivity, Jing Yi's body still had some minor problems. His muscles and bones began to rebel, and he had eight cramps in half an hour.
Jing Yi: "..."
[I have cramps again! Black and White Impermanence is too much!! ]
[Report, I'm going to report to Meng Po! Ahhhh...it hurts.]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Without saying a word, he massaged the butler's slender calves.
The butler who just kept asking him to be more generous, was now cursing the Black and White Impermanence in his heart.
After a while, Fan Ming came in with unusually bright eyes. He was so excited that he even forgot to knock on the door.
When he opened the door and saw this shocking scene, he froze at the door, not knowing whether to go forward or backward.
...In the comics, if a subordinate interrupts the boss's good deeds, he will be fired.
Fan Ming: "..."
What should I do? I'm so panicked.
"Come in." Fan Ming didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Li Wenzhao spoke. He greeted Jing Yi first: "Butler Jing, long time no see."
To Jing Yi, the passage of half a month was just a casual chat with the Black and White Impermanence. He did not feel the long time that Fan Ming mentioned at all. However, as for the matter of the resurrection of the corpse, it would be better for Li Wenzhao to know it alone, so he would not scare Secretary Fan.
Jing Yi pursed her lips: "It wasn't long, I just took a nap."
Well, not long after, I slept for half a month. Fan Ming added in silence.
Li Wenzhao covered Jingyi with a blanket, then he found the time to ask Fan Ming: "Did you find out?"
"Yeah." Fan Ming looked slightly excited: "This is the feedback from the bank."
Fan Ming handed over the tablet, but Li Wenzhao raised his chin without much interest and said, "Show it to Jingyi."
"What?" Jing Yi stretched his head.
Li Wenzhao said calmly: "It's the specialty you brought back."
"!!!" Jing Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Secretary Fan, Secretary Fan, hurry up, let me see it."
[Let me see how much hush money the Black and White Impermanence gave me! ]
Fan Ming handed over the tablet, and Jing Yi was stunned after looking at it for a second.
Li Wenzhao waited for a while: "What's wrong?"
Jing Yi was stunned: "Secretary Fan, is this Zimbabwean currency*?"
The world's most inflated, worthless currency?
Fan Ming looked slightly crazy: "No, Steward Jing, this is Chinese currency."
Jing Yi: "..."
Black and White Impermanence, so generous!
Looking at this long set of zeros, he didn't want to care about the loss of the wrong soul... He was even eager to try again.
Jing Yi touched the screen and read it one by one. After a moment, he pushed the tablet in front of Li Wenzhao as if to show off: "Master, my knowledge only allows me to count to 100 million. I can't read this number."
Li Wenzhao took it and looked at it, and also fell silent.
His knowledge is also out of reach.
Jing Yi suddenly hugged the quilt tightly and asked nervously: "Is it legal?"
Black and White Impermanence, wouldn't they have stolen from the national treasury?
Fan Ming immediately said, "How can it be illegal? This is the Li family's century-old inheritance. Every income is recorded. The eldest young master's generation is the richest!"
Jing Yi turned around and looked at Li Wenzhao in a daze. He was sure that the Li family did not have this amount of money, and Li Wenzhao himself was also unaware of it.
That is the method used by the Black and White Impermanence. They are so thoughtful, do they often pay money to make amends?
Even a businessman like Li Wenzhao who rolls in piles of money has never seen so much money in his life. He was a little stunned: "Is this the specialty you brought?"
so much?
Wuchang's family fortune must have been emptied.
Fan Ming: "?"
Jing Yi pursed her lips embarrassedly: "I swear, I really didn't ask for too much."
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips: "I said, 'the more the better'."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Jing Yi: "..."
[But I didn't expect there would be so many. Their apologetic gestures are a little too smooth! ]
Li Wenzhao sighed.
Jing Yi tilted his head: "What's wrong, are you unhappy?"
"Happy." Li Wenzhao looked at Jingyi dimly, "I just feel like my work has lost its meaning and fun."
Jing Yi: "..."
The taste is really good and the top-notch Versailles.
Who can feel the joy in work when they are just ordinary workers?
But he still patted Li Wenzhao's hand very tolerantly: "Then let's play badly together, it's very happy."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
·
Because of cramps, Jing Yi was arranged to stay in the hospital for one more night, during which time the three young masters of the Li family came to visit him.
"Woo woo woo, Housekeeper Jing, you scared me to death." Li Mingzhi howled like a little wolf as soon as he entered the room: "I thought you would never wake up?"
Li Xu brought Jing Yi a bouquet of fresh flowers: "Housekeeper Jing, have a good rest."
Li Ting was no longer the person who would confront anyone he met, and he even brought Jing Yi some nourishing soup: "Don't be stupid enough to get kidnapped next time."
Jing Yi said unconvincedly: "I was arrested at Li's. Who knew they could come to the company? I am very vigilant."
Li Ting just sneered.
Jing Yi: "?"
What is the Third Young Master laughing at silently?
During the time he was in a coma, Li Mingzhi's gay drama had already started filming. He performed well in a food variety show and debuted as a comedian. He did not have any airs of a rich young man and was very popular. Only two months after his debut, he was approached by two high-end brands to endorse his work.
Among the three younger brothers of the Li family, he is the one who has lived the most wonderful life after breaking up with his "lover".
"Housekeeper Jing, take good care of yourself. When you get better, I'll take you to our crew to play." Li Mingzhi said, "Filming is fun. I'll eat, drink and have fun with you. If you're bored, I can sleep with you and read the script to you."
Jing Yi was flattered.
It's not that serious. Who is the housekeeper and who is the young master? It's Tiangang instead.
"Okay, you guys go back first." Li Wenzhao said softly: "Jingyi still needs a night to recover, I will take him home tomorrow."
Li Ting didn't say anything and left with his little brother. Instead, Li Xu, who was always taciturn, stared at Li Wenzhao and Jing Yi.
After everyone left, it soon became dark.
Jingyi ate dinner and drank all the soup cooked by Aunt Fang, then burped with satisfaction.
As the night deepened, the hospital became quiet.
Jing Yi looked at Li Wenzhao who was sitting motionless on the sofa. The latter was holding a tablet with several stacks of documents at hand. It seemed that he would have to work for a long time.
Jing Yi thought for a moment and said, "Master, aren't you going back to rest?"
Li Wenzhao raised his head slightly and looked at the time tiredly. "There is a rest room next to it. Go and rest after finishing your work."
Jing Yi propped up his chin and looked at him: "But you look like you haven't slept well for several days."
Li Wenzhao was stunned.
Not only did he not sleep well, but during the time when Jing Yi was in a coma, Shen Shubai knew that he was too busy to handle everything, so he launched many attacks on Li's business and snatched away many projects. While Li Wenzhao was guarding against the attacks, he also had to worry about whether Jing Yi would really die. He was so confused that he couldn't sleep at all. After half a month, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
But now it's all right. Jing Yi is back and has resolved his worries. He can concentrate on dealing with Shen Shubai. Now he has a large investment from the underworld, so he can sleep well at night.
"Go to sleep if you're tired." Li Wenzhao said, "You don't have to accompany me."
Jing Yi was not sleepy. This body had been sleeping for half a month. He should have made up for the time he had spent staying up late.
Li Wenzhao, on the contrary, looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, and his whole body was tense, like a spinning top that never stopped.
Jing Yi felt a little distressed. Li Wenzhao had changed so much in just half a month.
"There is no end to the work." Jing Yi buried his chin in the quilt and said weakly, "Staying up late is bad for your health. Let's go to bed first."
Li Wenzhao raised his eyes: "No, I also like the feeling of fighting the King of Hell."
"..." Jing Yi pouted in dissatisfaction: "I'm serious about this."
Li Wenzhao put down the tablet and started signing documents. "No, I don't want to go."
Jing Yi subconsciously asked: "Why?"
Before Li Wenzhao could speak, Jing Yi heard a deep and lingering male voice in his earââ
[Because I can't see you in the lounge, I'm worried]
Jing Yi: "..."
Jing Yi's face immediately turned red, he turned around hesitantly, and saw that Li Wenzhao looked a little hesitant. After a moment, he said softly: "I'll go later."
Jing Yi was stunned.
That wasn't what he just heard.
After a two-second pause, he realized that when he was at the Naihe Bridge, Bai Wuchang had upgraded his tattered golden finger and added a "mind-reading" function.
In other words...what he just heard was Li Wenzhao's true voice.
Jing Yi glanced at Li Wenzhao furtively, his eyes filled with the excitement of discovering a huge secret - the young master, it turns out he has two faces.
Under normal circumstances, Jing Yi would have definitely said a few words, but now, looking at Li Wenzhao's red-veined eyes, he felt very soft-hearted, thought about it, and leaned sideways towards the bed.
"This bed... is actually quite big."
Li Wenzhao raised his eyes.
Jing Yi stammered and was unable to speak. In Li Wenzhao's gradually brightening eyes, he shrank his neck and said in his heart: [There is enough space for two people to sleep. Do you want to rest first? ]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
After Jing Yi finished speaking, his neck and cheeks turned red. He poked his eyes out from under the quilt, saw Li Wenzhao put down the documents, rubbed his eyebrows, and his tone revealed deep regret.
[My boyfriend is flirting with me without even realizing it, how can I work...]
[Forget it, I don't feel like working tonight. ]
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he saw Li Wenzhao stand up, unbuttoning his coat and saying, "Okay."
Jing Yi looked up dazedly. Li Wenzhao was staring at him with his eyelashes slightly drooping and a tired look on his face.
He invited her out of enthusiasm and soft-heartedness, but Li Wenzhao really agreed. Jing Yi started to get nervous again, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
"Well, then you come."
After a while, the bed shook slightly, and two warm bodies leaned slightly against each other.
The bed in the hospital was rather narrow, and Jing Yi was afraid that Li Wenzhao didn't have enough space, so he wanted to move a little closer to the bed. However, as soon as he moved, he was hugged by someone.
It's not accurate to say that he hugged him. Li Wenzhao didn't actually use any strength. He just put his arms lightly on his waist.
"If you move any further, you'll roll down."
Jing Yi froze and could not move. He felt the warm palm on his waist and his mind started to get confused: "I was afraid you would fall off the bed."
Li Wenzhao leaned towards him, his warm breath close to the back of his neck, "No, go to sleep."
[...Let me hug you. ]
Jing Yi was still panicking, but when he heard Li Wenzhao's slow and tired voice, he suddenly stopped moving.
Just hug him, he is your boyfriend after all, it is reasonable.
Li Wenzhao smiled silently, turned his head to the side, leaned against Jingyi and fell asleep.
Jingyi was not sleepy at first, but maybe because the bed was too comfortable, he fell asleep without realizing it.
·
When I opened my eyes again, it was already eight o'clock the next morning.
Li Wenzhao was still sleeping, his body pressed against the bed, and he was holding him in his arms with a slightly bent posture.
He himself didn't know when he turned over, and nestled in the crook of Li Wenzhao's shoulder in a very intimate posture.
It was the first time that Jing Yi saw Li Wenzhao lose his hostility and seriousness and sleep peacefully.
It is said that men who work hard are the most handsome.
But Jingyi thought that Li Wenzhao was also very handsome when he was asleep.
She has a straight nose, thick eyelashes, and a gentle sleeping posture. In short, she looks pretty in every way.
Li Wenzhao was originally fast asleep, but was awakened by the mumbling of his heart in his dream. As soon as his eyelashes moved, the person in his arms closed his eyes in panic and pretended to sleep.
It's impossible to pretend, my heart is beating like thunder and the arc of my eyelashes trembling is impossible to ignore.
Li Wenzhao tilted his head and smiled silently.
ãGood boy.ã
Jing Yi: "..."
It's terrible. Ever since he learned the ability to read minds, Jing Yi feels even more ashamed.
He could feel Li Wenzhao's gaze on his face. His heart was pounding. After enduring for a while, he opened his eyes on his own initiative.
Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "You're not pretending anymore?"
Jing Yi blushed: "You've already seen it."
Li Wenzhao smiled but said nothing.
Jing Yi turned over and lay flat on his back, muttering, "So you're waiting for me to fall into your trap?"
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows and praised Jing Yi's language proficiency for the first time: "You use the phrase 'walk into a trap' quite well."
Jing Yi: "..."
He is clearly digging his own grave.
Li Wenzhao couldn't help laughing, his chest filled with a happy smile, "I can't help but praise you."
[I made a mistake with the idiom right after I finished praising it. ã
[But it's quite cute, and there are unexpected jokes even when it's used in a messy way. ]
Jing Yi heard everything: "..."
You'd better stop praising me.
Not long after waking up, Li Wenzhao's cell phone rang. The company's business was urging him to get up and go to work.
Jing Yi saw the words "Fan Ming" on the screen and frowned slightly: "Secretary Fan is really dedicated."
It's only eight o'clock and you're already getting up to work. If you don't do that, who will?
Li Wenzhao sighed. He really wanted to lie down for a while longer. The butler felt soft and warm in his arms, which was even more comfortable than hugging a plush pillow.
But the company had a lot of business that urged him to go back and deal with it. There was no way he could stay in the land of comfort for long.
"It's still early, you can go back to sleep." Li Wenzhao got up and tucked the quilt for him: "I'll ask Aunt Fang to take care of you."
Jing Yi looked at him without blinking: "Where are you going?"
Li Wenzhao said: "Company."
Jing Yi was puzzled: "Aren't we all so rich? Why do we still have to get up early to work?"
"You have to find something to do." Li Wenzhao said, "At present, running a company can best reflect your own value and ability."
"Let's not do it." Jing Yi chuckled twice: "Being obsessed with work will only turn you into a beast of burden, and gradually lose your qualifications as a human being."
Li Wenzhao: "..."
I don't know where the housekeeper got his twisted train of thought from.
·
After a while, Li Wenzhao dressed neatly. Jing Yi couldn't sleep anymore, so he lay on the bed and watched him tie his tie without blinking: "Master, can I be discharged from the hospital today?"
Li Wenzhao tied his tie and said, "Listen to the doctor."
Jing Yi frowned. The hospital's examination report was too complicated. They were making a fuss about something that was not up to standard. Jing Yi didn't want to stay there anymore. He wanted to go out, feel the fresh air, and jump on his dumpling bed.
He prefers being a slave to working in a hospital.
He thought about it and suddenly asked, "Then may I ask..."
Outside the door, Fan Ming came in with a pile of documents and pushed open the door. Jing Yi just happened to speak quietly: "Then may I ask, Doctor Li, can I be discharged from the hospital now?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Fan Ming: "..."
Good, very taboo play!
Why did he always encounter such embarrassing situations?
Fan Ming froze at the door of the ward, his toes curled up: "I, I knocked on the door, and heard a sound, and thought..."
Li Wenzhao pinched his brows and sighed softly: "Come in."
Fan Ming endured the shame and walked into the ward. He glanced at Jing Yi stealthily. Their eyes accidentally met, and Fan Ming blushed.
...Oh oh oh oh!
Butler Jing must be very upset that he had ruined his good deed, right?
Jing Yi was thinking that Secretary Fan must be very tired carrying so many documents.
They both glanced at each other with a look of pity and concern.
"..."
Fan Ming came to deliver documents. During this period, Li Wenzhao was working in the hospital. As the president's secretary, his job was to serve as a bridge between the boss and the company. His main task was to pick up and deliver documents every day.
But today his boss told him that there was no need to send him off and he had to go back to the company to work.
Fan Ming grunted and took the documents back.
·
Before Li Wenzhao left, Jingyi's comprehensive examination report came out, and there was no problem. Jingyi clamored to be discharged from the hospital, and would rather follow Li Wenzhao to the company to mess up than stay in the hospital.
Li Wenzhao had no choice but to take the person with him.
Returning to the familiar office, Jing Yi felt cordial and natural, except for the fact that his workstation had been moved.
Originally, his small desk was a little distance away from Li Wenzhao, and there was a pot of green plants between the two desks, making the boundary between Chu and Han very obvious.
But now the two tables are put together and can be touched by hand.
"Why is my desk here?"
Li Wenzhao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong here? Is it not good?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips and said reluctantly: "What's the difference between this and sitting in the center of the first row in a college course?"
[When I was a child, I was afraid of teachers. When I grew up, I was afraid of bosses. If they were too close, I would suffocate.]
Li Wenzhao: "..."
"I'm sorry, Butler Jing." Fan Ming said immediately, "Boss Li asked me to move it. We need to add a filing cabinet to the CEO's office, so half of your workstation will be occupied."
So that's how it is. Jing Yi looked at the office layout and found that only his original workstation was suitable, so he shut up and said nothing.
Li Wenzhao checked the time and said to Fan Ming, "Secretary Fan, find the real estate project with Shen's three months ago."
Fan Ming nodded: "Okay, Mr. Li."
Jing Yi had an impression of this document. He was the one who had discovered it. He stood up and said, "I know where it is. Let me get it, Secretary Fan."
Fan Ming was stunned: "Thank you for your hard work, Butler Jing. President Li, I will go and notify the department leaders to hold a meeting first."
Jing Yi ran to the filing cabinet behind him, looked up at the file number, and quickly found the target file.
It's just that the thing was placed a little high, so it was a little difficult for him to pick it up.
Jing Yi raised his feet by the cabinet and stretched out his arms to take it. The sweater around his waist moved up with the movement, revealing a piece of fair and delicate skin. His slender waist and flat belly. His thin waist was particularly eye-catching.
Li Wenzhao unconsciously turned his gaze over, his eyes darkening.
Jing Yi was struggling to pull out the document. His arm pulled hard, his body tilted, and the tip of his buttocks shook.
Li Wenzhao: "..."
Just as Jing Yi was about to turn around, he heard a familiar voice in his earââ
[The little housekeeper's waist looks very soft and slender, and the arc of the twist is also very beautiful. I was too sleepy last night and didn't hug her carefully. If there is another chance, I will definitely (beepââââ)]
Jing Yi was stunned: "..."
no.
ah?
Chapter 50 Mosaic of Heartfelt Voice
Jing Yi blinked. What did that beep mean? A blocked word?
What on earth did Li Wenzhao say? ! Even the inner voice speaker couldn't be broadcast. Jing Yi slowly stood up by holding onto the filing cabinet, quickly took off his sweater and put it in place, covering the slightly cold skin around his waist, his heart pounding like thunder.
"What's wrong?" the person behind him asked, "Didn't find it?"
Jing Yi pursed his lips and leaned over with the document in his arms: "I got it."
Li Wenzhao took it as usual. Judging from his expression, he was still the handsome and decisive boss of the Li family and the villain in the novel. It had nothing to do with the blatant and ambiguous thoughts he had just expressed.
What was that [beep] sound just now?
Mind reading broken?
That can't be possible. If something goes wrong with the newly upgraded buff, he won't know who to contact for after-sales service.
Jing Yi pursed his lips in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard Li Wenzhao's voice: "Jingyi."
Jing Yi subconsciously agreed: "Yes."
"Why are you staring at me?" Li Wenzhao didn't even turn his head. The young butler's gaze was too explicit. His eyes didn't blink and stayed on his profile.
Li Wenzhao's concentration is limited. Being looked at like this by the person he likes, he is almost losing his focus on work.
"I didn't..." Jing Yi retorted subconsciously. He turned his head and Li Wenzhao looked up and met his eyes.
The midday sun came closer to his sight, and Jing Yi squinted slightly. The outline of the man in the center of his vision was blurred by the light, his facial features became softer, his eyebrows were more handsome and upright than usual, and his dark eyes swept over him gently.
...Jing Yi heard his own heart beating.
[Oops... I've been seduced by male beauty again]
[It turns out that ancient tyrants did not become tyrant overnight. If I were surrounded by beauties like this, I would be even more stupid than him! ]
Li Wenzhao couldn't help laughing and curled his lips slightly: "If you like it so much, I'll show it to you when we get home."
Jing Yi: "..."
He was thin-skinned, and just thinking about that kind of scene in his mind made him feel anxious and his face turned red.
"I won't watch it." Jing Yi stood up and muttered to himself. He couldn't stay in the office any longer. He had to find a place to calm down: "Master, can I go out and relax?"
"Where are you going again?" Li Wenzhao raised his eyes and said in a playful tone, "Is my office not big enough, or is the colorful world outside more attractive to you?"
Jing Yi: "..."
He was stunned for two seconds, then calmly pointed out the problem: "Master, don't speak like a complaining woman."
He's not used to it.
Li Wenzhao: "..."
He lowered his eyes: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to have lunch together."
Jing Yi: "Okay!"
·
As soon as he left the office, Jing Yi went straight to the secret technique room. He had been in a coma for half a month. If he didn't go to talk to Secretary Fan, the latter would be unfamiliar with his name.
In the secretary's office, Fan Ming was explaining the office rules to the new assistant. The new assistant was a young boy with a pair of round glasses and looked honest.
"...Next, you need to familiarize yourself with Mr. Li's personal habits, both in life and work. They are all written in this document. It's best to remember them all. Do you understand?"
The boy nodded hurriedly: "I understand, Secretary Fan."
"Well, go get busy. Your workstation is next door. Go find Xu Mian and he will show you around the work environment."
The boy nodded obediently, turned around, and happened to see Jing Yi outside the door. His eyes lit up, and he nodded cautiously and went next door.
After watching the person leave, Jing Yi turned around and said, "Secretary Fan."
"Butler Jing is here." Fan Ming stood up and pulled a chair for Jing Yi: "Come and sit down, don't tire yourself out."
Jing Yi looked at him strangely: "It's only ten meters from the CEO's office to here. Does Secretary Fan treat me like a glass doll?"
The kind that breaks after taking two steps?
"No, it's mainly because Butler Jing just came back from a life-and-death situation, and he's worried that you've overworked and hurt your body."
Jing Yi was silent for a few seconds and narrowed his eyes: "Secretary Fan, I haven't seen you for half a month. Why do I feel that you are speaking more and more official language?"
He was as approachable as before he fell into a coma.
Fan Ming pushed his glasses lightly: "I am mainly afraid that Butler Jing will persuade me with his influence."
Jing Yi: "..."
Jing Yi's face turned slightly red. It seemed that Secretary Fan knew everything, but he and Li Wenzhao had just been together and it was not public. He was stubborn and even more stubborn.
"Secretary Fan, if I had known you would look at my demon concubine, I would have gone to the underworld to sue you while I was unconscious."
Fan Ming smiled, obviously not believing it: "Butler Jing also went to the underworld?"
Jing Yi: "Yeah."
"That's amazing." Fan Ming said: "How did you get there?"
"Do you want to go too? It's simple." Jing Yi said with a wry smile: "First, you need to be extremely calm, and then you need to adjust your mental state from wanting to die to being dead."
Fan Ming: "..."
Jing Yi: "Is it interesting?"
Fan Ming: "Not really."
Jing Yi snorted twice: "Then you still play."
Fan Ming did not move, and continued: "It was Steward Jing who planted a big bomb for me before he passed out. I have to take revenge on him anyway."
"ah?"
Fan Ming looked at him dimly: "Who told me last time that Zou Ting likes to read comics?"
Jing Yi: "..."
Oh, it's really him.
Jing Yi touched his nose, his eyes sparkling: "Then did you go to share it with him?"
Fan Ming paused, looking strange.
Jing Yi understood, "Is this exactly what Secretary Zou wanted? Did he thank you properly?"
Fan Ming's face turned red, then pale, and then red again: "No, he is now addicted to comics every day."
Jing Yi raised his head and laughed, it turned out that no one can resist the charm of Danman!
After laughing, he noticed that Fan Ming's face looked strange, and asked suspiciously, "He fell in love with comics, so why are you blushing?"
"..." Fan Ming paused, then turned around and hurriedly said, "Nothing, the meeting is about to start, I'll go prepare the meeting materials first."
Jing Yi tilted his head suspiciously, feeling that the atmosphere between the two secretaries was becoming increasingly sticky.
After just a few seconds, he suddenly heard a voice in his ear:
[Damn Zou Ting, he became curious after reading the comics and insisted on dragging me to try the poses in the comics. Is this something a straight man would do? Damn it...]
Jing Yi: "..."
Oh oh oh!
·
Fan Ming was busy, and Jing Yi was about to go back to the office when he received a call from Li Mingzhi.
Five minutes later, Jing Yi excitedly knocked on Li Wenzhao's office door: "Mr. Li?"
The voice was familiar and soft, revealing a bit of caution in doing something bad. Li Wenzhao raised his head: "What's the matter?"
He could already guess that Jing Yi had something to tell him. The butler would only change his address when the situation was serious or when he had something to ask of him. He usually called him Young Master in a soft voice.
Logically speaking, they were already together, so they could address each other in a more intimate way. Li Wenzhao had thought about it before, but every time he heard Jing Yi call him, he suppressed the thought.
"The young master invited me to visit the set." Jing Yi pushed open the door and said softly.
Li Wenzhao put down his pen and said calmly, "So, you are going to stand me up now."
Jing Yi thought of the lunch they had agreed to have together, and blushed, "Can I go?"
[Or, I'll bring you something delicious in the evening? ]
The housekeeper seemed to be coaxing him as if he was a child. Li Wenzhao smiled and said, "Do you really want to go?"
Jing Yi nodded. He had never seen what a film crew was like, and he had a good relationship with Li Mingzhi, so he should go and visit the set.
Seeing his eyes full of desire and expectation, Li Wenzhao curled his lips and said, "Then go ahead. I'll ask Uncle Lin to take you there. Don't run around. I'll arrange for bodyguards to follow you secretly. Call me anytime if you have any questions."
Jing Yi hesitated, but thinking of the accident half a month ago, he nodded, "Thank you, young master."
"You can go." Li Wenzhao reminded: "Don't get into trouble."
"..."
Jing Yi somehow understood Li Wenzhao's hint and raised his hand: "I promise, I won't drink a drop of alcohol!"
·
Li Mingzhi's filming location is in the film and television city in the suburbs of the capital. There are large buildings here, and the battlefield area is nearly 1,000 acres. The city is divided into east and west sides, with modern buildings on the east side and ancient buildings on the west side. The city has two uses and can meet the different needs of various crews.
This also resulted in many film crews gathering in the film and television city even though winter had already arrived, making it very bustling.
Uncle Lin sent Jing Yi to the vicinity of the crew and said, "Housekeeper Jing, the young master asked me to wait for you here. Just call me after the visit."
Jing Yi nodded, thanked him again, asked Uncle Lin to find a place to rest, and walked towards the crew in the distance.
He came at an inopportune moment, as Li Mingzhi was in the play.
Li Mingzhi plays the omega protagonist in the TV series, and the alpha actor next to him is tall and handsome. Both of them have outstanding looks, and standing together they look like a painting.
Jing Yi didn't disturb him and stood quietly waiting.
Half an hour later, Li Mingzhi finished filming. He had noticed Jing Yi a long time ago. He waited until the filming was over and ran over, "Jing Yi, you're here."
"Young Master." Jing Yi smiled gently.
Li Mingzhi smiled and said, "Just call me Mingzhi. I treat you as a friend."
Jing Yi agreed with a smile. It was a bit cold outside. When he spoke, white mist came out of his mouth. Li Mingzhi quickly took him to his tent.
"The protagonists all have their own independent tents. How is it? Is it warm? Do you want me to turn up the heater a bit?"
The temperature in the tent was just right, and the wind couldn't blow in. Jing Yi shook his head, "It's not cold anymore."
"Did you watch me filming just now? How was it? Was it interesting?" Li Mingzhi asked.
Jing Yi: "Young Master has great acting skills."
This is not a compliment. Li Mingzhi is innocent and simple, which fits the role of the naive little omega in the script. He plays himself and his image naturally fits the role.
"Isn't that right?" Li Mingzhi showed a hint of pride and whispered, "They all said so."
The two of them had just been whispering for a while when Li Mingzhi's agent came over and said, "Mingzhi, the young master is here to deliver something. The car is at the door."
Jing Yi looked up in confusion.
Li Wenzhao brought something? What was it? Why didn't he bring it along?
When the two of them went out, they saw a box truck filled with hot pot ingredients and condiments parked steadily in front of the crew, and Li Mingzhi invited the entire crew to have lunch.
The weather is cold in winter, and the crew members have to work in the cold wind. They are happy from the bottom of their hearts to have a hot pot with a variety of fresh ingredients.
"Thank you Mingzhi."
"Great! These ingredients are so fresh, and there's Australian abalone, so luxurious!"
"There's also tuna and wagyu here?"
"Wow, what a feast! Thank you, Mingzhi!"
"Thank you, Young Master Li!"
Li Mingzhi smiled and asked everyone to eat together, then turned to Jing Yi and asked, "Did my brother ask you to bring it?"
"No." He was also confused.
Li Mingzhi held his chin and murmured, "Strange, I've been in the group for a month, and my brother has never given me anything?"
Jing Yi looked at the cart of food and murmured, "Maybe the young master wants to give you a big surprise?"
But since the food had been delivered, Li Mingzhi was still very grateful to his eldest brother. He dragged Jing Yi to have a delicious hotpot meal. It was only when the agent reminded him to keep in shape that Li Mingzhi put down his chopsticks with a lingering feeling.
After lunch, Li Mingzhi returned to the afternoon shoot and asked Jing Yi to wait for a while, and he would take him to visit some interesting attractions nearby later.
Jingyi nodded in agreement.
Li Mingzhi was afraid that he would be cold, so he arranged him to sit in his own rest seat, and even personally brought a blanket for Jingyi to cover himself. Only then could he go to film with peace of mind.
"Humph." Not far away, a boy bit his straw and sneered, "Everyone thought Li Mingzhi relied on his family background to get to where he is today, but now it seems that's not the case. When the sponsor showed up, look at how he acted? His attentiveness is really embarrassing."
A well-behaved girl beside him heard this and said, "Don't be so sceptical. Li Mingzhi is a good person and doesn't seem like that kind of person."
The boy snorted coldly: "What do you know, little girl? That's just his personality. Do you understand? Maybe he is not the young master of the Li family at all, but just a fool who relies on the sponsor to rise to fame."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Jing Yi who was not far away.
The things Li Wenzhao sent were too coincidental. They came at the same time as Jing Yi's, and were in the name of Li Mingzhi. It was easy for people to associate these things with those brought by Jing Yi.
Many people began to wonder what the private relationship between Jing Yi and Li Mingzhi was.
These two people are actors in the same group, but they are supporting roles with few parts and few lines. Seeing Li Mingzhi gaining the upper hand, the boy couldn't help but secretly slander him.
In the corner behind the two of them, the alpha actor who was reviewing the script raised his head slightly, paused his gaze on Li Mingzhi, and then looked at Jing Yi.
·
·
In a corner of the set, Jing Yi sat in a soft chair, staring curiously into the distance. The plot entered a high-energy stage, with alpha and omega misunderstandings, and began to distance themselves from each other and quarrel.
Jing Yi was watching carefully when a shadow suddenly fell beside him. "Hello."
Jing Yi raised his head and saw a boy with a gentle smile standing in front of him. Li Mingzhi had quietly introduced the crew members to him, and he knew that this man was the second male lead in the TV series, named Ke Minghua.
He had no impression of this person, nor did he remember having any encounter with his original self. He just said reservedly, "Hello."
After receiving the response, Ke Minghua's eyes lit up with joy: "Sir, are you here to visit the set?"
Jing Yi glanced at him.
Ke Minghua's mind moved slightly. This sponsor was quite good-looking. He was totally different from those middle-aged bosses with big bellies, missing teeth and little hair.
How could Li Mingzhi be so lucky to find a sponsor of this quality?
Ke Minghua's eyes turned to Jing Yi, "I am the second male lead in this drama, playing a very likable role."
Jing Yi felt that this person was not likable at all. With his triangular eyes and droopy brows, he looked mean. He retracted his gaze, took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, and said nothing.
After a moment, he heard a strange voice in his ear:
[This is what a sponsor should look like. Those old men are old and ugly, and I feel disgusted just by looking at them. This gentleman is better. He looks outstanding and is generous. If I can win his favor, won't I be fed to death with resources in the future and easily become a top-tier celebrity? ]
Jing Yi: "............"
Be generous.
Him???
How come you are so generous that you swing your fist more roundly when you hit someone?
[As for Li Mingzhi... I'll wait until I get the sponsor and then snatch this drama away. He's filmed so many scenes but it's all in vain. I've been annoyed with him for a long time. I hope I can ruin his reputation this time! ]
[He will never be able to compete with me for something I like! ]
"Excuse me, sir, what's your name?" Ke Minghua showed a standard eight-toothed smile, "You look familiar to me. I've been in this circle for a long time, and maybe we've crossed paths before."
It's such an old joke, yet you still use it to embarrass yourself.
Jing Yi curled his lips, put down the water cup, and said mercilessly: "I don't know you."
Ke Minghua smiled slightly: "Sir, do you really not understand? I actually fell in love with you...at first sight."
Jing Yi: "............"
Doesn't this person feel embarrassed?
Seeing that he was stunned, Ke Minghua thought that his confession had some effect, so he continued: "I don't know if you have a boyfriend. If not, maybe I can..."
As he spoke, he sat down in the empty seat next to Jingyi, obviously ready to fight to the end.
However, Jing Yi interrupted him before he could finish his words: "My five elements are unlucky for husbands, so I don't dare to find a partner."
Ke Minghua froze, his butt hanging in the air at a moderate height: "..."
Jing Yi glanced at his straight back and asked, "Are you tough enough?"
Ke Minghua: "..."
Ke Minghua left after a while, and when he left, his whole face was green.
Jing Yi snorted quietly, luckily he had a new buff, if he met someone with ulterior motives in the future, he could just read their minds and no bad guys would be able to get close to the Li family, haha.
Li Mingzhi's filming didn't end until three in the afternoon. He didn't have any scenes today, so he quickly removed his makeup, changed his clothes and went to find Jing Yi: "There's a small waterfall nearby, and there are many red pandas. I haven't been there yet, so today is a good day, let's go and take a look together."
Jingyi nodded and said yes.
He wanted to tell Li Mingzhi that Ke Minghua had ill intentions towards him and asked him to be careful, but before he could open his mouth, the Gundam actor who played the alpha came over and said, "Mingzhi."
Li Mingzhi quickly turned around and greeted politely, "Teacher Qu."
The man nodded slightly, his eyes swept over Jing Yi, and noticed the intimate posture of the two, and asked softly: "Are you leaving?"
Li Mingzhi nodded: "Take my friend to play nearby."
The man said: "The crew will have a dinner party later, aren't you going to join us?"
Li Mingzhi exclaimed in surprise: "How come I didn't know that?"
The man's eyes fell on Jing Yi: "It was a last-minute notice."
Li Mingzhi hesitated: "Then I..."
Jing Yi inexplicably sensed something from the actor's eyes and immediately said, "Then go and have fun, little master. I'll come to see you next time."
The man was slightly stunned.
Li Mingzhi also involuntarily changed his address: "Butler Jing, I want you to come with me."
In a few words, the alpha actor understood the identities of the two people and smiled, "So it's Butler Jing. There are not such strict requirements for crew dinners, and family members can be brought along. Why don't you come together?"
·
·
At Li Mingzhi's strong invitation, Jing Yi followed them to a nearby dinner hotel.
On the way, Li Wenzhao sent him a message asking what time he would be back, and Jingyi embarrassedly stood her boyfriend up again.
Li Wenzhao sent over a few dots.
Jing Yi sent several emojis of begging for mercy, pinching shoulders, and pounding legs, and only then did Li Wenzhao calm down and tell him to be careful.
Only then did Jing Yi jump outside peacefully.
The hotel was booked in advance by the crew, and those who came were all the main actors of the TV series, including Ke Minghua. However, he did not look very good, and his expression was vague when he spoke to the director.
Jing Yi didn't bother to care about him and followed Li Mingzhi into the box. When he stepped onto the stairs, he saw two familiar figures at the end of the corridor from the corner of his eye.
...It's Shen Shubai and Qin Ningning.
The two dressed up, handsome and pretty, holding hands, very sweet and loving. The elevator stopped in the corridor, Shen Shubai took the heroine in, and soon disappeared from sight.
Jing Yi paused.
ãWhy is Shen Shubai here? ã
[Hotel, dinner, happened after the kidnapping... I remember it! ]
Li Mingzhi also paused, and his footsteps that were almost at the table in the box turned sleekly and slipped back to the door, "Jingyi, what are you doing?"
Jing Yi turned around and said, "Young Master, I have something to do. I want to go over there and take a look. You guys eat first."
Li Mingzhi held him back: "I also want to go out for a walk, I'll accompany you."
Jing Yi was so eager to know the purpose of Shen Shubai's appearance that he did not notice the loophole in Li Mingzhi's words. He nodded and walked to the other side of the corridor.
Jing Yi originally thought that he would need to put in some effort to find Shen Shubai, but he didn't expect that there was a dinner reminder in the elevator, and the hotel had marked the button for the 18th floor.
The two of them went upstairs effortlessly.
This was a public dinner and no invitation was required. They were both dressed formally and easily blended into the environment.
In the center of the banquet, Shen Shubai stood on a high platform, demonstrating their company's latest technological products. He wanted to attract investment at this dinner to make up for the loss caused by Li's poaching during his time abroad.
Jingyi remembers this APP. According to the original text, it is indeed a good thing that benefits the country and the people. It even has the support of the country and is promoted all over the country.
Li's employees also became APP users.
But this was just a trap set by Shen Shubai for the Li family. One month after the APP was launched, it was revealed that the Li family had engaged in shady operations such as money laundering, bribery, smuggling using public resources, and illegal lending.
As a result, the Li Group was banned and inspected by the state. During this period, employees fled, funds were cut off, and the group was on the verge of extinction.
I get angry whenever I think of Jing Yi.
[The protagonist is amazing. Everything he does is legal and compliant. No matter what Li Shi does, he will be blamed for everything! ]
[How can Shen Shubai, the real murderer behind the kidnapping and murder, still stand in the spotlight and enjoy a luxurious life... This is unfair! ]
Li Mingzhi heard it all. He didn't know much about the company's business, but from Jing Yi's words, he knew that the Li Group would face a big hurdle next. He subconsciously said, "Jing Yi, let's notify Big Brother first. Big Brother should be able to handle it."
Jing Yi: "It's too late."
On the stage, Shen Shubai has already demonstrated the core functions of the APP. The highlights are eye-catching, very novel and rare, and have won the favor of many people present. Off the stage, many people are also contacting Qin Ningning to sign contracts.
Li Wenzhao is still in the city, and distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
"But we can't stop it." Li Mingzhi said: "No one will believe what we say."
Jing Yi glanced at Shen Shubai, who was full of vigor on the stage, and then looked inside the banquet hall, "Young Master, are you very strong?"
"..." Li Mingzhi was horrified: "You don't want me to rush up and beat him up, do you?"
"Of course not." Jing Yi said, "But I may need you to help me carry it back."
Li Mingzhi: "............"Ah?
Jing Yi turned his head mysteriously: "Young Master, do you want to see me transform?"
Li Mingzhi: "?"
Before he could think about what Jing Yi meant by this, he saw Jing Yi suddenly picked up a bottle of wine on the table and poured it into his mouth without saying a word.
Li Mingzhi: "!!!"
·
·
On the stage, Shen Shubai spoke eloquently, praising the newly developed APP to the skies, and the investors he invited nodded repeatedly with satisfaction.
No less than ten CEOs have expressed their willingness to invest.
Shen Shubai's days of depression finally cleared up. He waved his hand, and the newly hired female secretary stepped closer in her high heels: "Director Shen."
"Prepare the contract." Shen Shubai said, "Let's lock these people up tonight."
The female secretary said expressionlessly: "Yes."
"Boss Shen." Several investors came over with smiles on their faces. "If you have such a good way to make money, you must bring it to me."
Shen Shubai smiled and said, "Of course, today's investment promotion conference is held for you all."
Several CEOs were very satisfied and wanted to sign the contract immediately.
Shen Shubai's beautiful secretary came forward with the contract and both parties signed.
At this moment, a clear male voice suddenly sounded in the entire venueââ
[What kind of high-tech APP, unparalleled design and development, is actually a concentration of illegal and disorderly activities! ]
"..."
[It looks promising, but later on, this app will explode, leaking user privacy, selling user information, and the largest investor is from Myanmar. Think about it carefully! ]
[You dare to bet on this? I can only say that you are very brave. If you are not afraid of losing everything, then bet hard! Every time you bet, no one makes a sound... (hiccupsââ)]
Shen Shubai: "..."
His face was dark, and he knew who the voice was without having to distinguish it.
Isn't Jingyi dead?
Why did she appear at his investment promotion banquet again? !
Damn it, Li Wenzhao must be behind this! Bastard!
The female secretary came over in a hurry, "Director Shen, we didn't find any problem with the sound system. We don't know how the sound came about yet."
After hearing this, several investors' enthusiasm for investing instantly faded. Although they didn't know whether what the voice said was true or false, when it came to investment, they were not afraid of high-tech and cutting-edge things, but only of investing in something ugly and rotten. At the very least, their funds would go down the drain, and at worst, their entire fortunes would be lost.
Let me think about it again.
When Shen Shubai saw several CEOs put down the contracts, he immediately became anxious: "Everyone, this is all slander against our Shen Group by a hostile company! I swear, there is absolutely no problem with this APP!"
[Tsk tsk tsk... You dare to tell such a lie, do you dare to say that there are no Burmese among your partners? ã
[How dare you say you are not collecting funds to fill the company's holes? (Purple lips and smile) Ha! ]
Shen Shubai: "..."
Seeing that he agreed, several investors ran faster and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Shen Shubai was so angry that his face turned red. "Find him for me! Find him! I will find him even if I have to dig three feet underground! I must kill him today!"
The female secretary was stunned for a moment: "Mr. Shen, who are you looking for?"
Shen Shubai: "Li family housekeeper, Jing Yi."
Female secretary: "..."
Why bother looking for a housekeeper? She suspected that the boss had gone mad.
·
·
In a corner of the banquet hall near the door, Li Mingzhi saw that the hall was in chaos, and hurriedly held Jing Yi's shoulders and helped him out the door.
Jing Yi was already very drunk, his eyes were blurry. In order to make the loudspeaker work as quickly as possible, he did not leave himself any chance of survival, and the whole bottle of strong liquor went into his stomach.
"I haven't finished yet..."
Li Mingzhi was so anxious, why didn't his elder brother come yet!
Jing Yi frowned in discomfort, but he was still happy that he had ruined the cooperation with Shen Corporation, "Young Master, do you think I was right..."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are right." Li Mingzhi supported him with difficulty, pressed the elevator button, and helped him in.
As soon as the two entered the elevator, Shen Shubai led his men to surround the banquet hall and checked the identities of the guests leaving one by one.
"No!" Jing Yi half-opened his eyes, his lips soaked in alcohol showing a gorgeous red, "A lot of what I said was made up... I just wanted him to fail in financing..."
Li Mingzhi hurriedly supported him: "I know, Jingyi, you are the best to our family, you are very smart and resourceful, let's go home first, okay?"
When Jing Yi heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly began to struggle, "No, I can't go home... I can't go back."
Li Mingzhi: "Why not? Home is the safest place."
"I drank and got into trouble." Jing Yi said blankly: "...I will be angry."
"Who would be angry?" Li Mingzhi didn't understand.
At this moment, the elevator dinged and opened, and Li Wenzhao's stern face appeared in the lobby on the first floor.
As soon as Li Mingzhi saw his elder brother, he felt like he had seen a savior, "Brother, you're finally here!"
Before Jing Yi could stand firmly, he was pushed forward by Li Mingzhi and was caught steadily by Li Wenzhao.
Li Mingzhi carefully looked at his eldest brother's face and said, "Brother, Jing Yi didn't mean it. I'll drag him away right now."
However, Li Wenzhao, who was always unkind, reached out and hugged him, "I'll let Fan Ming take you back."
Li Mingzhi: "What about Jingyi?"
Li Wenzhao raised his eyes slightly and looked over. Li Mingzhi shrank his neck and said, "Well, I'll go first. Brother, Jingyi is doing this for the good of our family. Please don't punish him."
Li Wenzhao did not comment, and Li Mingzhi did not dare to disobey, so he had to walk away, looking back every few steps.
Jing Yi felt a little dizzy from the impact of the hard chest in front of his head. It took him a while to wake up, "Young Master, your shoulders are so hard..."
Li Wenzhao had no choice but to hold the man back: "We agreed not to drink alcohol, are you just putting the flag up to be broken?"
Jing Yi looked up in confusion.
His eyes were red from the alcohol, his cheeks were pinker than usual, the strong smell of alcohol enveloped his lips and tongue, his collar was slightly wet, revealing the greasy white Adam's apple and skin under the collar.
Li Wenzhao: "..."
[Beep, beep, beepââ]
[Beepâ]
Jing Yi was getting a headache from the noise. He looked up at Li Wenzhao's face and tried to cover his mouth with his claws. "Stop talking."
[Beepâ]
Jing Yi covered Li Wenzhao's chest again, and in a lecturing tone, his round eyes stared at Li Wenzhao's chest: "...You don't listen, do you?"
Li Wenzhao: "..."
