After listening to Huo Jiangdong's story, Ye Lin learned how he swapped identities with Renakura, and then stole a mind-controlling drug from Ai ShuQiao's Doomsday Bunker on the outskirts of Dongshan City, and was injured by the automatic defense system.
Ye Lin coolly held his chin and thought about the deeper meaning behind Huo Jiangdong's words. He determined that he wasn't lying.
"If you've gotten yourself into this state just to deceive me, then the trick of injuring yourself to gain sympathy is too much …"
Thinking of this, Ye Lin nodded handsomely.
Ye Lin coolly said — — Hey, a serious reminder! The above description is from Xiao Yin's point of view! I'm not blowing my own trumpet! Although I'm really handsome compared to the disfigured Huo Jiangdong, I'm not arrogant!
But this feeling was too wonderful! There's finally someone more badass than me! And it's not just anyone, it's Xiao Qin's brother!
After Huo Jiangdong was disfigured, he hid in the enemy's headquarters for several years. Because of the pressure of survival, his every move was a lot gloomier. Now that I'm standing next to him, it's like I'm the good guy and he's the criminal! I'm so touched! Even if Huo Jiangdong had nothing to do with Xiao Qin, I definitely can't let Huo Jiangdong die! It's like the second last student in the grade doesn't want the last student in the grade to transfer!
The rain outside the window has not stopped yet. I asked Huo Jiangdong why he stole the mind control drug and what he plans to do next.
Huo Jiangdong snorted and said: "I didn't come to find you, I actually came to find Hu Lai, but he wasn't here, so I had no choice but to come here."
Hu Lai? I stared blankly for a moment, then realized that he was the shoe repair uncle from the North Street market. He was a former agent of the National Security Agency. Later on, he received help from Huo ZhenBang and acted as the Triad's liaison in Dong Shan city. He also gave a listening device to Xiao Qin.
I blinked and speculated: "If you're looking for the shoe repair uncle, does that mean — — you're going to contact your father?"
Huo Jiangdong did not answer me directly, "There aren't many people I can trust, I can't make any more mistakes."
I was curious: "In your eyes, am I someone you can trust?"
Huo Jiangdong rolled his eyes. "I don't even know if you're home, okay? Ren Hongli's house is the closest to the market, so I couldn't find Hu Lai. That's why I had no choice but to knock on your door. "
I clapped my hands, "Oh, I remember now. When I went to the market to buy eggs the day before yesterday, I heard that the shoe repair uncle was sick. Since the China team isn't participating in this year's World Cup and they lost 3-0 in a friendly match, the shoe repair uncle was so angry that he went to the hospital to get a drip …"
In fact, the China fans did not have to be particularly stubborn. If they could adjust their mentality to watch the China team's games, they might be able to cultivate their moral character and reach a state where they would not be happy or sad for others. When the time came, they would ascend and become Buddha. Wouldn't that be a wonderful thing? If they were too obsessed with the score, they would be like Brazil, which lost 7: 1 to Germany in the semifinals. The whole country would fall into anger and riots.
Huo Jiangdong took care of the wounds on his body. I heard his stomach growl before we could talk about anything else.
He must have used up a lot of energy running around in the rain. It was normal for him to be hungry since it was almost noon. I stayed at home all morning, so I was still a bit hungry.
"Do you want to eat something?" I asked the fierce-looking Huo Jiangdong with a kind expression.
Huo Jiangdong raised his eyebrows and said in an unfriendly tone: "Why aren't you going to cook since you know I'm hungry?"
Huh? This is my house, okay?! After my dad and Auntie Ren got married, he's the male owner here! Not only did you wet the carpet, you even took over and ordered me to do this and that!
But since he was injured, I didn't bicker with him. I first cooked the rice, then I went to the fridge to get leftovers from last night. I heated them up in the microwave for us to eat.
Although it was leftovers, it didn't taste bad at all. It also happened to be the sea cucumber stewed bamboo chicken that Xiao Qin gave me for breakfast.
Huo Jiangdong didn't hold back either. He sat across from me at the table and ate like a tornado. It seems like he was really hungry.
"Is this Ren HongLi's cooking?" Huo Jiangdong finished his bowl of rice and asked while I was helping him. "It's pretty good, you two are in luck."
I placed a full bowl of rice in front of him, "Auntie Ren is busy with work, so she doesn't often cook. On the other hand, my dad cooks more often. This sea cucumber stewed bamboo chicken was made by Auntie Ren and Xiao Qin last night."
Huo Jiangdong held his chopsticks thoughtfully after hearing that.
"Is Xiao Qin your girlfriend?"
I almost choked on the chicken bone.
"Um … not yet, I don't plan on getting a girlfriend before I graduate from high school."
A real Spartan doesn't need a girlfriend at all! I didn't dare say that to Huo Jiangdong.
Huo Jiangdong showed a face of ridicule, "Then who is she to you?"
I said awkwardly: "I guess she's an adopted sister? And we can be considered childhood sweethearts … "
It's just that other people's childhood sweethearts are innocent and have deep feelings for each other. But here, we are exchanging blows and swords. It's basically the difference between a romance drama and a wuxia drama.
"Hmph, if you only treat her as an adopted sister, then she'll always be an adopted sister, do you understand?"
"Huh? What does that mean? "
"It means, don't play with Xiao Qin's feelings!"
Huo Jiangdong placed his chopsticks on the side of his bowl and it made a crisp sound.
I frowned: "I'm not playing with Xiao Qin's feelings. I wouldn't dare with Auntie Ren here!"
Huo Jiangdong didn't listen to my explanation and stopped eating for now. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at me for a while before saying: "You know, I've killed people before. For me, it doesn't matter if I have one or two lives on my hands. It's all the same."
Damn, Huo Jiangdong, what are you trying to do!? Why are you acting the same way as your father, Huo ZhenBang! If I bullied his daughter and your sister, you're going to kill me!
Shu Zhe has called himself my brother-in-law more than once, and if Xiao Qin ends up with me, then Huo Jiangdong will be my brother-in-law — — this brother-in-law wants money, this brother-in-law wants life!
In order to quickly change the topic, I asked: "Brother Huo, when do you plan on getting plastic surgery? With how advanced medicine is, your face can still be restored to its original state. "
Huo Jiangdong is currently 22 years old, 6 years older than me. He's also Xiao Qin's older brother, so it's understandable for me to call him brother Huo.
It's safer than calling him brother-in-law.
Huo Jiangdong smiled in contempt, looked at my face and said: "If I get plastic surgery, what about you?"
What he meant was, only people with a disfigured face are uglier than me.
Hey! Don't go too far! I'm only giving in to you because you're an injured person! Also, after I woke up from my coma, I've already recovered 1% of my original appearance! As long as I recover another 99%, I can beat all of the Korean male stars!
Of course, there will definitely be some oppas who won't accept it, but it doesn't matter, other than beauty, I also have the Spartan's explosive body! I'll beat anyone who doesn't accept it! I'll make them admit I'm more handsome!
After Huo Jiangdong finished eating, he wiped his mouth and sat on a chair, then unceremoniously asked me to arrange a place for him to stay.
"Ai ShuQiao will soon find out I betrayed her … She might also guess my true identity, so you have to arrange a safe place for me."
I thought about it, then used my smart watch to contact Xiao Yin. She's now the true owner of the Monarch Building and has countless guest rooms, so it's easy to arrange a place for someone to stay.
"There will be a car to pick you up in 15 minutes." I put down my smart watch and said to Huo Jiangdong, "The driver is a believer of the Scientific Happiness Sect, and so is the security guard. They worship the causality program like a god, so they should be trustworthy. You can stay in the Monarch Building for as long as you want — — but are you sure you want me to contact the Triad for you?"
Huo Jiangdong, who was always rude to me, hesitated for a moment.
"That's right, contact my father for me. Since Hu Lai is repairing shoes at the market below your house, it'll be easy for you to see him, I … don't know how to tell my father about me …"
Objectively speaking, although it wasn't intentional, Huo Jiangdong faked the news of his death and indirectly caused Huo ZhenBang to contract AIDS. Huo Jiangdong was probably worried about what his father would think of him if he knew the truth.
Actually, Huo Jiangdong didn't have to rely on his father, but after he faked his death, he faintly felt his father's love for him, but he wasn't sure how much his father cared about him, so he didn't dare face it himself.
I agreed immediately. I remembered that when Huo ZhenBang had met me in the past, he had repeatedly emphasized that he couldn't have a son after he got AIDS. He had a strong desire to have children. If he knew that his son wasn't dead and was still alive, he would be overjoyed.
"Tell me when you get the results." Huo Jiangdong reminded me anxiously, "I don't have a cellphone at the moment, but you can call the Monarch Building's guest room number to find me."
"Don't worry," I replied, "I'll tell your father everything, he'll definitely be eager to meet you."
Huo Jiangdong sighed, "You sound so sure, as if you know your father better than I do."
I spread my hands, "The onlooker sees the game more clearly than the person directly involved."
A few minutes later, Huo Jiangdong was taken to a luxurious guest room by a member of the Scientific Happiness Church, who was currently an employee of the Monarch Building. In the end, he didn't tell me the effects of the mind control drug he stole or who he planned to give the sample to.
It seems Huo Jiangdong planned to wait until I contacted Huo ZhenBang before making a decision.
By the way, I haven't heard from Huo ZhenBang in a while. The last time I contacted him was because he harassed the class leader's mother at the Shanghai Vaccine Research Institute. I was in a vegetative state for 18 months after that, and I haven't heard from him since I woke up.
I looked through the phone book on my smartwatch and didn't find Huo ZhenBang's number. His number should have been saved on the Yellow Wind Devil No. 1, but it wasn't saved after the Yellow Wind Devil No. 1 turned into a grenade and died.
Also, Auntie Ren hated Xiao Qin or me contacting Huo ZhenBang, so she would force us to delete his number if she found it in our phone book.
But Xiao Qin should have memorized Huo ZhenBang's number, so I can ask her when she comes back from visiting relatives.
