Shen Kong woke up in a strange bed.

He stared at the smooth lines on the ceiling with a strong sense of design, blinked blankly, and was half a beat late to notice the headache and nausea after the hangover.

Shen Kong held his aching forehead and sat up from the soft bed.

This seemed to be a luxury suite in a hotel. The huge room was in a mess. Yesterday's clothes were wrinkled on his body, one shoe was far away at the entrance, and the other shoe was thrown at the foot of the bed. The dazzling sunlight shone in from the half-closed curtains and swayed on the thick carpet.

Shen Kong frowned, trying to recall what happened last night.

He remembered... he ran out of the box to sober up, and then met Han Li on the road... then what?

The rest of what happened was like an overturned paint box, with countless broken noises and images mixed together and twisted into a bizarre and strange appearance. But if you focus on a certain moment and think about it carefully, it seems like fragile smoke disappearing in your mind.

Chen Kong pinched the bridge of his nose, his temples throbbing with pain, and it took him a long time to finally recall some fragmented memories.

He seemed to remember...he fell down...and...

Keeping?

Is he being kept by Han Li?

Can't it?

Chen Kong shook his head, somewhat incredulously getting rid of the absurd idea that suddenly popped up in his mind - anyway, no matter what, this temporary identity must not touch alcohol again, this body is completely out of control after drinking, especially this time right in front of the mission target.

If he woke up and found that the time node had changed again, he would have died unjustly.

Shen Kong climbed out of bed, staggered to the bathroom and took a quick shower to wash off the smell of alcohol on his body.

Twenty minutes later, he walked out of the bathroom with wet hair and took out his cell phone from the old clothes he wore last night.

As soon as the phone screen was slashed, a series of messages jumped out one after another. More than a dozen calls and messages from the agent rushed to his eyes frantically, and there were even two messages from the unknown caller. Shen Kong paused and was about to call the agent back, but he only heard a light knock on the door.

“Boom boom boom.”

He stood up, walked to the door and opened it.

I saw a young man in a suit standing outside the door, with a businesslike expression on his face. He opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a thick agreement, and handed it to Shen Kong with both hands:

"Hello, Mr. Meng, this is your new contract."

Shen Kong had a bad feeling in his heart. He took the contract and read it quickly.

This is an artist signing contract.

If he signs, he will sign a contract with Chengxi Entertainment, one of the three largest companies in the entertainment industry. The contract provides favorable treatment and generous profits. The company will also be responsible for paying the termination fee between him and the previous entertainment company. It is simply a contract with no disadvantages and only benefits.

But for some reason, Shen Kong had a deeper ominous premonition in his heart. He looked up at the man in a suit standing at the door and asked tentatively:

"Who asked you to send this?"

The man's expression was dull and rigid, and he showed a hint of surprise: "Of course it's President Han."

After that, he handed Shen Kong a pen and continued, "If you are satisfied after reading it, please sign your name on the last page."

Chen Kong took the pen and signed Meng Mingxuan's name in a flamboyant manner - he had specially studied the original owner's handwriting, and even a professional appraiser would not be able to tell the difference between the two.

The man in the suit put the pen back into his jacket pocket and said:

"Your new apartment and new car are ready for you. As for those comments on the Internet, if you want to deal with them, you can tell me directly."

Five minutes later, Shen Kong stared at the closed door and finally accepted the fact.

He seemed to be kept.

It turns out that it wasn't just an illusion after he got drunk.

And...it seems...it actually feels a bit good?

In the original plot, Meng Mingxuan was also kept by Han Li. Now Shen Kong not only accomplished the approach task assigned to him by that employer without any effort, but also guaranteed the opportunity to get along with him and complete the system task. The best thing is that he can finally enjoy the treatment mentioned on Weibo!

Shen Kong began to think seriously.

Maybe he should be more careful about getting drunk?

After all, the efficiency of completing the task is much higher than when he is awake!

The moment of signing the contract was very simple, but the finishing work afterwards was more complicated than one could imagine. After all, Meng Mingxuan was not only an 18th-tier artist, but also a secret agent placed by Han Zizhuo next to Han Li. They were not confident in letting Chen Kong sign directly to the company controlled by Han Li, because then they would lose the rope to clamp and control him, so they required Chen Kong to bring his agent Chai Zhi over when he was signed to Cheng Xi.

Chen Kong naturally understood that this was to keep an eye on him to prevent his spies from betraying him, so he readily agreed.

After all, they have to make the other person feel that they are under their control.

What followed was a series of work handovers and follow-up processing. The process was cumbersome and lengthy, and it took four full days to basically complete it.

When Shen Kong called Brother Tang on the last day, the other party's tone had obviously become gentle and kind.

He has gone from being a small star who looked a bit like Han Li Bai Yueguang and could perhaps be used, to a successful chess piece who has successfully infiltrated the enemy and can be used at any time.

Seeing that he had become an important part of being trusted, Shen Kong seized the opportunity and once again raised the question he had asked Brother Tang when they met last time:

"By the way, Brother Tang, I remember when I asked you if you could tell me something about Han Li and Ye Jinghuan, you said you didn't know much about it. Then can I ask, if that's the case, how did you know that Ye Jinghuan was the white moonlight and cinnabar mole in Han Li's heart?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Shen Kong continued to speak:

"Because now I can finally have more contact with Mr. Han, so I need to know more about this so that he can trust me more. Even a little information may come in handy."

Brother Tang hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind and replied:

"The information about Han Li's high school years was completely hidden after he returned to China through connections. We also pieced together his original life trajectory based on some side channels. It is said that Ye Jinghuan was the direct reason why Han Li was sent abroad..."

Shen Kong became interested:

"What do you mean?"

"We investigated what happened in the city where Han Li lived when he was in high school. Three months before he was sent abroad, Han Li had a huge conflict with the Wang family's businesses in the city. He destroyed the Wang family's two casinos and three clubs. Then he followed the clues and reduced the Wang family's businesses in the entire southeast region by nearly 80%. Even the direct descendant of the Wang family who was sent there for training was almost implicated - and no one knows what method was used to reveal his true identity."

Brother Tang paused and continued:

"Not long after that incident, a student used his connections to find out Han Li's true identity in City A, and spread his identity information in the city at that time, causing quite a stir at the time. The Wang family then learned that he was related to the Han family, so they put pressure on the head of the Han family. As a result, the head of the Han family forced Han Li to study abroad, and his local business was confiscated and closed down."

Chen Kong listened attentively to what happened after he was teleported away, piecing together the blank memories bit by bit. A brand new Han Li gradually replaced the boy next door in his mind.

Brother Tang continued, "Although we haven't found out why Han Li attacked the Wang family so frantically, we have reason to suspect that it might be related to Ye Jinghuan."

Shen Kong asked, "Why?"

"We later sent someone to ask the student why he leaked Han Li's identity information. We don't know what Han Li did to him, but he was unwilling to say anything. It was only through his friends that we learned that the student had a crush on Ye Jinghuan in high school and acted impulsively out of jealousy. So all of this was most likely caused by jealousy among the teenagers..."

Shen Kong frowned and interrupted him: "So, your inferences are all based on these indirect evidences?"

Brother Tang was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, there was a hint of depression in his voice:

"I originally thought that we shouldn't be so hasty, but my...superior thought it was worth a try."

Shen Kong thought back to the clip he had recorded after the interview that day. This Brother Tang's tone was indeed very hesitant, but the person on the other end of the phone denied it without hesitation - it seemed that he was talking to Han Li's idiot brother that day.

After all, if you are not stupid enough, you really can't come up with such a plan of finding a substitute to be a spy.

Tang Ge's voice calmed down again:

"However, if I still had doubts about this plan before, now that I see that you have successfully mixed up with Han Li, my last bit of doubt has disappeared - these are almost all the information we have, and you can just use your own experience to do the rest."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Kong frowned while holding the slightly hot phone, and sat there in deep thought.

Although he had now pried out from Brother Tang the reason why he was looking for Ye Jinghuan's substitute, the doubts seemed to have not diminished at all, but instead grew more and more.

So after he left that node, why did Han Li launch such a crazy counterattack against the Wang family?

According to the timeline, Han Li was sent abroad half a year earlier than in the plot, and the relationship between him and Ye Jinghuan should not have been that deep, but there is really no other explanation. After all, the housekeeper did not die, and bullying did not happen... Then what could be the reason?

There must be some clue here that he has overlooked.

Just as Shen Kong was lost in thought, the cell phone in his hand buzzed twice: it was a message from his agent.

Since Meng Mingxuan's current popularity is no longer what it used to be, and this kind of black-and-red topic is simply a hot commodity in the entertainment industry, countless invitations to variety shows are flying in like snowflakes, so his agent also took advantage of the trend and arranged a variety show for him.

Shen Kong clicked on the introduction of the variety show, and then fell silent.

This variety show is actually about survival in the wilderness.
