After receiving the message again, his boss launched into a furious barrage of questions, his mouth churning like a motor.
"But I've never celebrated any holidays since I was a child, and no one has ever invited me to any of those holidays. I've never accepted an invitation before! What should I do? What should I bring as a gift when I go to celebrate a holiday? My sister-in-law invited me to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?"
"They also said that we should eat mooncakes for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If I go to my sister-in-law's house for the festival, should I buy mooncakes? What kind of mooncakes should I buy? What do my sister-in-law and Xiao Cheng like to eat?"
"Or is it the kind of mooncake I like to eat? No, I don't think I have any favorite mooncakes. I'm not even sure if I've ever eaten them before. If I have, it must have been some time ago when I ate them to fill my stomach. So, should I buy a few mooncakes?"
"Should I buy them by weight or by the box? How many should I buy in one box? Will Xiao Cheng beat me up if I buy too few? Xiao Cheng is so cunning! He always ambushes me when I'm not looking. Should I bring a spiked club for self-defense...?"
As Li Jianfeng spoke, his eyes lit up. He thought the method was feasible and quickly turned around to get the spiked club.
The result... "Bang!"
Wu You, who had just run halfway to save the emperor but failed, watched helplessly as the frantic figure turned around and crashed into the dragon pillar.
Unsurprisingly, the dragon pillar was unharmed.
The eldest brother was knocked unconscious.
He closed his eyes and lay unconscious on the ground.
"Brother Feng! Why did you do this to yourself..." Wu You, with snot and tears streaming down his face, rushed to help Li Jianfeng, but his hand had barely reached out when...
The person lying on the ground came back to life!
A pair of eyes, clearer than ever, suddenly opened, stared at Wu You's outstretched hand, and then stood up, supporting his swollen forehead with one hand.
His gaze swept over the trembling Wu You again: "What stupid thing have I done this time?"
Wu You knew that his boss had finally woken up from the shock, and he cried tears of joy: "You were overthinking it, and you ended up hitting yourself."
"Boss, wait here, I'll go get you some medicine right away. You've bumped your forehead so badly, you need to put some ointment on it to relieve the pain and swelling quickly, otherwise if Cheng sees you at the Mid-Autumn Festival gathering tomorrow morning, he'll laugh himself to death!"
Li Jianfeng frowned, still feeling a little dizzy. He wanted to ask something, but Wu You's figure had already run far away.
I can only wait until he comes back to ask, "When did my relationship with Xiao Cheng become good enough that we can celebrate holidays together?"
He's gone mad to celebrate at the dragon's house!
"You agreed to it when you were crazy." Wu You handed the swelling and pain relief medicine to Li Jianfeng, focusing on explaining the key points.
"Tonight, Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Bailu are coming back from Guangdong Province. You set off fireworks in the city to welcome them, and you even tried to steal Sister-in-law Bailu from Brother Cheng. After Brother Cheng punched you away, Sister-in-law Bailu invited you to their house for the Mid-Autumn Festival."
Wu You was hiding behind the green belt at the time.
It's crystal clear.
Li Jianfeng only remembers what he did when he was lucid, and he also has memories of intermittent episodes, but he has no memory of what he did when the episodes were extremely severe.
Why would I steal Xiao Cheng's girlfriend?
"Maybe it was just a momentary lapse of judgment!"
Wu You analyzed seriously: "You've been beaten up by Brother Cheng several times recently, and you're holding a grudge. You deliberately tried to vent your anger by talking back and trying to get back at him, but you didn't expect him to actually get angry."
Li Jianfeng accepted this reasonable excuse, applied the ointment, and then tossed the medicine bottle to Wu You.
She touched the back of her teeth with the tip of her tongue: "Xiao Cheng invited me to his house for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is there some new collaboration to discuss? And Bai Lu is on the list again?"
"You're wrong!"
Wu You corrected him: "It was your sister-in-law who invited you to the new town for the Mid-Autumn Festival, not Brother Cheng."
After correcting him, he explained, "It shouldn't be about new cooperation. After you and Cheng Ge resolved the bounty issue together, Cheng Ge invited you to cooperate with the police, but you disagreed, and then he ignored you."
"I ignored you tonight too. It was my sister-in-law's idea to invite you to the new town for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Cheng only said two things to you the whole time: 'You're so ugly I can't bear to look at you!' and 'Go if you want, don't go!' He also punched you and that was it!"
Wu You spoke eloquently and authentically, completely ignoring Li Jianfeng's increasingly unpleasant expression.
He even repeated Bai Lu's invitation verbatim.
After hearing this, Li Jianfeng's ugly expression improved slightly, but his gaze seemed to have seen through everything.
"It's not that simple. The fact that the four major powers targeted Bai Lu has already angered Xiao Cheng. Even though the bounty list promptly removed the employers and Bai Lu was unharmed, Xiao Cheng certainly won't let it go."
"From his recent shift from covert to overt and his large-scale consolidation of various forces, it can be seen that he is serious and is openly standing in opposition to the four major forces, which is tantamount to declaring war."
"What appears to be a foolish act of anger for a woman is actually a cover-up for the police..."
If it weren't for that night's confession at Tian Shang, Li Jianfeng wouldn't have believed that Xiao Cheng would abandon the darkness for the light and orchestrate such a deep scheme for Bai Lu.
Not only did they release such important inside information and cooperate with the police, but they also secretly had backup plans.
They even wanted to drag him down with them, to cooperate with the police, and get on that enemy ship that could capsize at any moment.
Li Jianfeng casually tugged at the corner of his mouth: "At tomorrow's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu will definitely continue to persuade me to join the cooperation."
Wu You felt that he was a bit too confident.
Bai Lu's original words clearly contained no persuasive intent whatsoever: "So, are you still going?"
"Yes, of course I'll go."
Li Jianfeng's right eye gradually lit up with excitement: "How can I refuse Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's well-intentioned persuasion and the carefully prepared Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?"
He's very confident, as expected.
"Are you still carrying that spiked club?"
Why bring a spiked club?
"For self-defense! You're afraid of getting beaten up by Cheng again, so you said you'd bring a spiked club for self-defense."
"I don't remember saying that."
