In order to prevent himself from accidentally telling the truth again, he stuffed the pair of stockings into his mouth again, so now he was unable to speak again.
"Is it so strict?" Scythe couldn't help but say.
"Who cares? It's not a bad thing for him to not talk." The performer didn't think so. Instead, he thought it was better for Jiang Lu not to talk. "I didn't expect you to live so far away from us. If Jin Yao hadn't brought us here, I'm afraid we would have been lost in this big yard..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Scythe.
"what happened?"
He didn't understand what was going on, but he saw Sickle lowering his head, quietly pointing at Jin Yao, then pointing at the living room of the suite, and then began to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
When the performer saw what was happening, he immediately followed his example and turned his gaze to a painting at the door, pretending to be very busy and taking emergency shelter.
At this time, Jin Yao was standing at the entrance with a gloomy face and without saying a word. On the sofa opposite her, Hong Yi was leisurely sipping the tea that she had just brewed.
"Who is she?" Jin Yao didn't even look at Jiang Lu, but everyone knew who she was questioning.
Upon seeing this, the performer immediately pulled the boy, who was lowering his head blankly, and started to appreciate the painting together with him, as if he was the one with polio, and he was still talking confidently, saying things like "What a beautiful painting" and "This is a chrysanthemum, right?" and so on.
"This sunflower." Scythe corrected.
"Shut up!" Jin Yao shouted, and the two of them became quiet instantly.
Although she looked much younger than the two uncle-looking guys, they didn't even dare to breathe in front of her innate aura and her status as half-teacher to them.
It was so embarrassing... They wanted to turn around and leave, but they couldn't.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu came to the rescue at this time.
He introduced calmly, "I was just about to tell you that she is a follower of the person you met in the supervision room yesterday. In layman's terms, she is a secretary. This time she came to see me specifically."
When talking about the supervision room, the three of them all remembered it vividly, and their impression of Dong Wanggong was particularly deep.
"That guy's followers?" The performer was puzzled: "Isn't he a serious criminal? Then isn't his secretary also clean? Shouldn't we call the police and have her arrested?"
[His identity is not as simple as you think.] Jiang Lu wrote mysteriously on the writing board he had just prepared.
Jin Yao didn't want to cooperate with him, and asked directly: "What's going on?"
At this moment, Hong Yi finally put down his teacup and said, "Don't be nervous, I mean no harm, let's sit down and talk."
Jin Yao glanced at Jiang Lu and confirmed again that the situation before her was not what she had imagined. Only then did she calm down a little and took a seat first.
After sitting down, she calmed down.
Think about it carefully, if Jiang Lu really cheated on someone, how could he dare to do it so openly in front of me?
Well, I must have been overthinking it.
And with her statement, Scythe and the performers also sat down with doubts.
Jiang Lu poured tea for everyone and then began to take control of the situation.
"Then please explain to them again what is going on," he wrote.
"Yes." Hong Yi nodded, and then calmly told everyone the whole story: "The man you saw in prison yesterday was just a criminal who opened a casino, but in fact, he was a man of destiny like you."
"The man of destiny?" Both the sickle and the performer were puzzled.
At this time, Jiang Lu couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.
"Yes, destiny man."
There was no trace of emotion on Hong Yi's face, which completely matched everyone's imagination of a professional and elite person:
“Not only you have received the revelation from heaven to send this young lady who was reborn from the stone to Kunlun Mountain, but my master is no exception.
However, he was not as lucky as you. He did not break the seal on Mount Gaishi so quickly, but wasted many years on it.
As his savings gradually ran out, he started some quick-money businesses to earn money to support himself while looking for ways to break the seal.
Recently, he noticed that something had happened on Gai Shi Mountain, so he immediately went to Gai Shi Mountain to check, and then found that the seal had been broken. He then traced all the way to Nanjiang City, and found Mr. Jiang through the aura on Gai Shi Mountain.
But we didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend when we first met, so in order to test him, my master pretended to fall into Mr. Jiang's trap and was caught by the law enforcement bureau. Otherwise, I am not bragging, even ten thousand law enforcement bureaus could not trap my master.
The moment I saw this young lady, my master had already guessed your identities and sent a message to me, asking me to come and meet you and explain everything clearly."
After saying that, Hong Yi picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes and sipped the tea silently.
Except for Jiang Lu, no one noticed her trembling hands.
She was very nervous. This was the first time she lied in front of so many people, not to mention that she was facing Jiang Lu's ex-girlfriend.
Although Jiang Lu had already written the lines long ago and she knew them by heart, the more she feared making mistakes, the less confident she became.
Fortunately, she finished memorizing it successfully, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This backfired. Her expressionless face, which was deliberately made to hide her anxiety, and her action of lowering her head to drink water after she finished speaking, actually made a few people believe her a little, because this expression was somewhat similar to the stereotype of the cold and capable secretary beside the big boss.
But Jin Yao was not intimidated. She keenly grasped the doubts: "Then... why doesn't he come by himself?"
Hong Yi's hand holding the teacup trembled, and she didn't react when the water droplets splashed on her face.
Because she is very panicked now.
Yeah, why doesn't he do it himself? I don't know... No one told me why... Is this beyond the scope? Help me, help me, help me.
She slowly put down the teacup and subconsciously went to see Jiang Lu.
Fortunately, Jiang Lu reacted quickly, pretending to pick up something, and "accidentally" knocked over the teacup in her hand.
"oops!"
Jiang Lu, with something stuffed in his mouth, immediately stood up with an apologetic look on his face, grabbed the tablecloth and started to wipe the wet hem of her skirt, while motioning for her to go to the bathroom to clean up.
After Hong Yi stood up and left awkwardly, Jiang Lu took over her position as the commentator and wrote on the writing board: [I just asked her this question, and she said that if her boss escaped from prison now, it might affect our plan to go to Kunlun Mountain, so she would wait until we set off before meeting up with us.]
"Meet up?" Jin Yao frowned. "He's going with us?"
The performer also shook his head with a hint of disgust: "I don't like that guy."
Jiang Lu spread his hands helplessly and continued writing: [What should I do? If I refuse him and he forces me into a corner, what if I escape from prison and something happens at the law enforcement bureau so that we can't go on the journey smoothly? And he has already made this decision and seems so confident, maybe there is something he hasn't told us that we don't know. I think it's safer to meet him. Anyway, if it doesn't work out, we can cut ties later.]
"That makes sense." Scythe nodded thoughtfully.
Jin Yao thought about it and agreed reluctantly: "Okay, let's just pretend to be nice to him first. It would be bad if we push him too hard and cause trouble for us."
[That’s what I thought, too.] Jiang Lu agreed.
At this time, Hong Yi, who had tidied his clothes but was still thinking about how to answer, finally walked out of the bathroom with a stiff expression.
"Then, let's temporarily agree to let him go with us." Jin Yao said to her lightly.
Hong Yi was stunned, and immediately showed an expression as if he had been saved.
"Huh? What are you laughing at?" Jin Yao narrowed his eyes and stared at her warily.
"I didn't..." Hong Yi shook his head: "I just... I'm just happy that my master can get your recognition."
"Is that so?" Jin Yao didn't say much, and ordered them to leave: "We have important things to do here, please do as you please."
After relaxing, Hong Yi didn't react for a moment, and said, "Hmm," "Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go help Mr. Jiang wash his clothes."
Having said that, he turned around and walked into the bathroom again.
For a moment, the whole room was eerily silent...
Chapter 312 Self-exploding truck
"What did she just say?" Jin Yao doubted her ears and looked at the sickle and the performer for confirmation.
Scythe's eyes were blurry and he didn't say anything.
But the performer repeated it again honestly: "She said she went to help Mr. Jiang wash clothes, but who is Mr. Jiang?"
Scythe glanced at him silently, then lowered his head and began to drink his tea.
"Is his employer also named Jiang?"
Scythe finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Still asking, still asking! Can you please shut up?"
Jin Yao was on the verge of collapse at this moment: "You...help him wash his clothes?"
Hong Yi finally realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, but fortunately she reacted quickly and explained immediately: "Ah, when I was cleaning myself just now, I found that Mr. Jiang had piled up a lot of his clothes in the bathroom. Thinking of my employer's advice to get along well with everyone, I thought of helping him wash them. Isn't this... a bit inappropriate?"
"Not so good...?" Jin Yao gritted her teeth, "This is too bad! Do you need to wash his clothes?"
After saying that, she stood up from the sofa, glanced coldly at the innocent-looking Jiang Lu, then walked angrily towards the bathroom and locked the door.
Soon, the sound of flushing was heard from inside.
From the sound it seemed that she had got there first and was one step ahead of Hong Yi in helping Jiang Lu wash clothes.
"This..." Hong Yi looked at them helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Scythe and the performers who realized it later also felt embarrassed and on pins and needles.
Only Jiang Lu's face was almost crooked with laughter as he watched the two of them fighting over his favor.
It's just fun to watch Qingying and Hongchuang pulling each other's hair to be the first person to eat the cake. If you really want to see a palace fight, it's Jin Yao and Hong Yi.
Although, it's still kind of cute when Jin Yao, who has never done housework, takes the initiative to do housework just to save face.
"You are really patient. Are you still doing your shut-up training at this time..." Scythe sighed.
Hearing this, Jiang Lu wrote on the writing board: [I think if I speak, it may intensify the conflict. ]
Scythe thought for a moment and agreed with Jiang Lu: "That's not a problem..."
Just then, a terrified scream suddenly came from the bathroom.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the locked door at the same time, and the next second, Jin Yao ran out as if escaping.
"What's wrong?" Several people stood up from the sofa and asked nervously what happened.
Although they were all nervous, Scythe and the performer thought something really happened, while Jiang Lu and Hong Yi were afraid that the truth would be exposed.
"There's a snake inside!" Jin Yao screamed and hid behind Jiang Lu.
"Snake?" They looked at each other.
Not only the sickle and the performer, but even Jiang Lu was confused at this moment.
I've stayed here for one night. Where did the snake come from in this hotel?
And you, Queen Mother of the West, are you afraid of snakes? Are you kidding me?
