I tightened my grip, feeling that this task was a little strange.

Although I couldn't tell what was strange, I just felt it was weird. Looking at the Custard Pudding Dumpling who seemed happy about receiving the task, I finally suppressed my doubts in my heart and didn't say it out loud.

This is all just my feeling, I have no evidence to prove that this task was issued by a strange person.

Wu Sansheng is now a teenager. Although he is still young, he already has some of his father's shadow. Although he is a bit careless in doing things, he is very ruthless.

His second brother Wu Erbai is an even more ruthless person who keeps a low profile. He appears gentle on the surface, but is actually very black-hearted.

"Qinglian, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wu Sansheng smiled innocently and seemed very happy to see me.

"If you're alright, can't you come over and take a look?"

I looked around his room. I had deliberately distanced myself from them over the years, so our relationship was naturally not as good as it was when we were children. In the past, they would call me uncle, but now they don't even call me uncle, they just call me by my name.

"Of course not. You can come over anytime you want."

Wu Sansheng's words always make me feel something is strange.

It seems a little too intimate.

I'm not quite used to it.

"Are you safe here?"

I asked directly. After all, I didn't have much time to go out, and the longer I stayed outside, the more dangerous it would be. Since I was looking for someone to cooperate with, and I wasn't the type to argue, the faster the better.

Wu Sansheng was a little stunned.

"Come with me."

His tone suddenly became gloomy, and he glanced around. He walked to a cabinet and gently moved a vase. Suddenly, the entrance to a secret room appeared in front of him.

There was a table and several chairs in the secret room, with some unfinished tea on the table.

A few dim oil lamps illuminated the surroundings.

"Qinglian, what do you want to tell me?"

I took a sip of the tea he handed me, which was a little lukewarm, and spoke slowly.

"I came here this time to..."

... (omitted, no more water)

"Qinglian, there's actually no need for you to get involved."

Wu Sansheng is different from his father Wu Laogou. He doesn't really want me to get involved.

"I have reasons to get involved."

“…”

After a moment of silence, he reluctantly nodded in agreement, and when I said goodbye, he wanted to personally see me off.

His hand accidentally took mine, and I was a little stunned, but when I reacted, he had already pretended that he knew nothing and withdrew his hand.

"The road is not safe. I'll take you back. Don't refuse. I'm not an outsider."

"……good."

A few years later, I became involved in his plan and secretly helped Wu Sansheng and Wu Erbai. I also used the system's functions to discover many spies sent by "it" from the Wu family and kept them under surveillance under my nose.

"Qinglian, play a game of chess with me."

It was a clear and sunny day.

I disguised myself and entered Wu Erbai's yard. He treated me as usual and even asked me to play chess with him. Unfortunately, my chess skills were not very good and I always lost.

I felt distressed as I watched the white pieces on the chessboard being gradually eaten away by the black pieces, seemingly being forced into a desperate situation again.

"Forget it, I won't download it. It's boring."

I might as well cheat. I'm going to lose anyway, and I don't like playing chess.

"Okay, whatever you want."

Wu Erbai laughed softly, with a barely perceptible tenderness hidden in his eyes.
