All is empty when forgotten
Jiang Li went all the way up to the second floor, fighting and kicking, and a group of tall men in black suits were like weak little children under his hands, without any power to resist.
It's probably because he didn't receive the hiring fee that Jiang Li temporarily didn't take drastic measures, only beating him to the point where he couldn't get up again before letting him go and leaving him to sleep with the dead. It wasn't enough to make Hong Mao despair to the point of heartbreak.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry!" Kicking open the door and seeing Feng Xiaoxiao, Jiang Li, wearing a black suit, rushed in first and stuttered an apology, his face red with shame to the point of tears: "Traffic jam on the road, sorry for being late, first date and I'm already late, this is really..."
"It's okay, it's okay, have a glass of water first." Feng Xiaoxiao comforted the embarrassed young boy and introduced him: "This is Chi You, this is Erlang Shen's younger brother... you've met before, so I won't introduce you again. Anyway, Hong Mao will forget everything when he turns his head back."
Jiang Li threw the black-suited man aside and smiled politely at the red-haired girl, "Hello, I'm Jiang Li."
"......Hello." Hong Mao was also a bit speechless, his gaze involuntarily drifting to Jiang Li's black suit on the ground, his mouth twitching, even his dry laughter had lost its strength.
"Sorry to have you make a trip for nothing." Feng Xiaoxiao finished introducing herself and then pulled the person away, talking to herself: "Actually, I just realized it was a misunderstanding. This kid didn't abduct my friend, I found the wrong person..."
Looking for the wrong person?!
When these words came out, Jiang Li was still in a good mood and didn't react much. But Hong Mao suddenly felt a surge of sadness and tears welled up in her eyes.
Are you playing puppet summoning on my lawn?!
Are you looking for someone to violently demolish my villa?!
Are you going to transform and bring a group of fierce gods to scare people just because you've found the wrong person?!
You've found the wrong person, you should be fed a bowl of Meng Po's soup... Oh, or is it Forget Worries Powder?!
Red hair is all tangled and crazy, various grass mud horses are galloping - he clearly didn't do anything! Which generation's evil spirit has possessed him?!
He waved his hand weakly to shoo away the black suit, and at the same time instructed him to continue to shoo away the property manager, security guard, curious neighbors and other troublesome creatures that might come to the door. Red hair lit another cigarette to try to calm down his irritable mood - if this continued, he would die of fright before he died of nicotine poisoning from smoking too much.
Feng Xiaoxiao briefly explained the situation to Jiang Li, who let out a sigh of relief after hearing it: "As long as you're fine, that's all I care about. I was just afraid they'd bully you."
Hongma almost impulsively jumped out of the window, who exactly bullied whom?!
He took another drag on his cigarette, exhaled a long stream of smoke, leaned back against the sofa with exhaustion and said, "Since I'll forget in a while, why don't you tell me what's going on?"
"It's going to be forgotten anyway, why waste my breath." Feng Xiao rolled her eyes.
"It's just passing the time." Hong Mao raised his head and glanced at Xiao Xiao, then looked at the dilapidated villa that had been visited by the city planning demolition team: "Even if I die with my eyes closed, you should at least let me know why today is such a disaster."
Feng Xiaoxiao looked away, feeling embarrassed about the villa, and this time it was indeed her own impulsiveness... So she thought for a moment and then coughed a few times:
"Actually, I've already said most of it before. I'm Nüwa, this is Chiyou, the prince from the Yang family is Erlang Shen... Also on our side we have Taibai Jinxing and Tàishàng Lǎojūn whom I just met, plus Xīng Tiān Quǎn, Pū Tiān Yīng and a Jingwei. Originally there should also be Shennong the Flame Emperor, but he died from alcohol poisoning... You didn't die unjustly, really, who made us enemies before? As soon as something happens, I wouldn't think of you first?"
Besides, it's this kid's own fault for being so mouthy. When he walked away from the boutique, he still had to add some ambiguous remark, which just led to misunderstandings.
Hong Mao nodded, seemingly calm and asked: "So you're all gods?!"
"It goes without saying."
"Looks like I was quite brave back then, daring to challenge Erlang Shen. Probably only Sun Wukong and I would do that."
"It's not actually... " Feng Xiao Xiao was more pragmatic: "Actually, before that, a group of thugs beat him up and robbed him clean, and he almost ended up selling his body... Of course, in the end I stood firm and wasn't corrupted."
Hong Ma almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of smoke from his own throat.
It's easy to get the breath back, Red Hair pinches the cigarette butt, grabs the water cup and gulps down a few mouthfuls, thinks again and finally clenches his teeth: "I'll say something in advance... Old Hu is so anxious that he wants to buy an assassin to deal with Erlang Shen, I have some contact on this side, but the old fox is too cunning, didn't let me know too much... You'd better keep a close eye on my house recently, if you can catch any clues, it's also good for early prevention."
Feng Xiaoxiao was shocked and exclaimed: "Really? How come you're suddenly so kind?!"
Hong Mao was furious and resentful, thinking that he had been kind but still feared that if he turned back, he would forget again and offend the several great gods. At that time, Jiang Li would make him suffer in the mortal world, not to mention that if he went to the underworld, he would have to go down to the 18th level of hell and lose big time...
Jiang Li thought for a moment, then solemnly declared: "My family absolutely did not accept any orders from the Yangs. All big orders must be personally approved by Dad. Xiao Xiao, I can guarantee you this."
"......Excuse me, where is your home?!" Hong Mao felt that he was almost completely numb.
"My family is a killer household, an old brand with good reputation and credibility, well-known in the industry..."
Jiang Li spoke eloquently without stopping, Hong Mao quietly turned his head to look at Feng Xiaoxiao, Feng Xiaoxiao innocently looked back and shrugged.
"......" Alright, perhaps the world of gods is indeed something that a mortal like him cannot comprehend...
No matter what, Hong Mao rarely has a good heart, and Feng Xiaoxiao also needs to take responsibility for passing it on. After Yang Yan answered the phone, he didn't seem to have a big reaction when he heard about the situation, and from his tone, he seemed to be somewhat disdainful.
With the conversation open and amnesia as a prerequisite, the few people temporarily put aside their past grievances and chatted casually, and the strange atmosphere in the guest room suddenly became harmonious.
Plane to helicopter, helicopter to special car, after more than three hours, a package wrapped in old newspaper finally arrived, with a note inside that still had the characteristic ugly handwriting of Tai Shang Lao Jun - "The delivery guy is a bastard, he asked me for 3 bucks less, I'll get Erlang Shen to stir-fry his squid!"
Feng Xiaoxiao directly ignored him, threw away the note and handed a package to Hong Mao: "Eat it, I guess the taste won't be too hard to accept... After today, everyone will do what they should do. Considering this time's face, I'll let Erlang Shen leave some breath for you in the future."
Hong Mao's eyes widened as he stared at the paper package, his mouth twitching downward. He swallowed hard and asked again: "Really no medicine for congenital heart disease?!"
"I'll find an opportunity to send it to your sister." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded slightly.
“…Thanks.” Hong Mao nodded, and without even taking a sip of water, he directly swallowed the packet of powder. He then tossed away the newspaper and smiled lightly: “Actually, it’s better that I forgot. I’m just a nobody, my mom is just a vase, apart from her face, what could Yang Lao see in her?! Since there was no emotional attachment to begin with, why should I give Yang Lao face?! Doing business always involves cheating and being cheated, he used me to deal with his son, so he has to bear the consequences of possibly being bitten back... As you said, after today, it’s every man for himself. I won’t remember anything, and you all better not show any mercy either!”
……
Out of the villa, a group of black suits had already received orders to leave with Jiang Li. Afterwards, this group of people would be sent to a legendary assassin family with good reputation for training. If they had the opportunity in the future, they could still live an ordinary life after scattering and forgetting their worries. If not, then they could only lick the blade and shed blood, perhaps disappearing during some mission at any time.
Before breaking up, Jiang Li still didn't understand: "What did he mean by saying so many things before he passed out?"
"Retreating in order to advance, struggling for sympathy points." Feng Xiaoxiao smiled: "Actually his way of thinking isn't wrong, it's just that he had bad luck and encountered a too strong opponent."
He was originally a small person, but somehow he was pushed up to a position that wasn't his, what else could he do besides desperately climbing upwards?!
If it weren't for Yu You's mom, Feng Xiaoxiao would probably just be another red-haired girl.
