Of course Wu Dong didn't forget.
Not only did he not forget, he still remembered it quite clearly.
After escaping with Yu Wenli, he saw a local newspaper saying that the villa was burned to the ground, leaving nothing but charred walls and twisted glass.
He buried this memory deep in his heart and exchanged the stolen things for money bit by bit, which enabled him to live a carefree life in the following years.
But how could this matter be related to this place?
He looked around in panic and suddenly realized that the structure here was exactly the same as in his dream. Even the large field of roses outside was extremely similar.
The details that she had deliberately ignored emerged one after another, and Yu Wenli's curse before her death rang in her ears.
Wu Dong staggered, his body shaking, and said dryly: "No, I didn't do anything. They were already dead when I got there..."
He just hit the kid once when he was rummaging through the drawers, just a light hit!
"Yu Wenli started the fire. What does it have to do with me?" Wu Dong trembled and raised his voice. "I went in with the others. If they want revenge, they should go after those three people. Why would they go after me?"
"That's a coincidence." His face was distorted, but Xu Zhi was somewhat pleased. "I just followed you and Yu Wenli in."
Hearing his words, the expression on Li Dapeng's face changed for a moment, and finally froze in deep fear.
He understood.
If you think about it this way, wouldn’t I be the first one to take action?
No wonder Yan Qing and Zhao Hong died early, Yu Wenli lived until yesterday, and Xu Zhi is still fine...
If you look at it this way, then wouldn't it be my turn next?
There were only three people in the restaurant, and Xu Zhi didn't miss Li Dapeng's reaction. He sneered inwardly and asked in surprise, "So the three people Wu Dong mentioned are you three, right?"
Li Dapeng nodded, not missing the hint of joy in his eyes. He suppressed his impatience and simply admitted it.
"So what if it's us? If it's true what you said, that they're in cahoots, they wouldn't necessarily attack me first. If you trick someone into this, you might end up making me even more disgusting in their eyes."
He didn't dare to mention the names of those two guys here. What if they did something like chanting their real names? Wouldn't he be completely exposed?
Xu Zhi was scolded by him, his face was not good, and he suppressed his disgust in his heart: "Brother Peng, what you said makes sense, I think so too!"
"How about this? The three of us work together and capture one of them before they react," Xu Zhi said. "Isn't that Pei guy always hanging out with Ye Lan? If we capture Ye Lan and threaten him for two or three days, won't that mean the deadline is over?"
Wu Dong felt it was unreliable: "What if he doesn't care about Ye Lan? Then we've arrested him for nothing. What's more, Pei Xia is not a human being. We might all die in an instant!"
Xu Zhi's face turned cold: "Then what other solutions do you have?"
"Besides, isn't there still a gold coin that we haven't found?" Xu Zhi looked at Wu Dong with a meaningful look on his face. "As long as we work together, and with the help of the gold coin, what is impossible?"
Wu Dong and Li Dapeng looked at each other and finally nodded.
They discussed it for most of the morning, their throats sore from talking, but the plan was ruined before it even started.
Until they finished a meal made of unknown ingredients at noon and listened to the housekeeper's instructions to clean, the three of them did not see the two people, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
Before the housekeeper left, Li Dapeng bravely asked a question, but the man didn't even look at him. This attitude was completely different from before.
They waited in the lobby for over an hour, and looked out the kitchen and swimming pool door before finally accepting their fate and carrying out the mission.
If we don't start now, we might not be able to make it in time for dinner.
Another hour passed, and the elusive butler suddenly appeared from the first floor to the third floor, pushing a dining cart. He knocked on a closed door and then disappeared into the air.
The door opened and several black balls jumped in, pushing a food cart.
The dining cart rolled to the table, and a group of black balls carried plates on their heads and brought dishes to the table. They then floated and hit the bedroom door, jumping around the bed to make their presence felt.
A white arm covered in red marks reached out, its palm caressing a furry ball that just wanted to be touched, and the voice was a little muffled: "Thank you for your hard work."
The ball of fur jumped and then disappeared into the air.
Zhu Yuanqing was wearing a brand new nightgown. He unhooked his arms from across his waist and stood up while rubbing his temples.
A pair of cool hands stretched out from his side. Zhu Yuanqing let go of their hands, leaned back skillfully, and let Pei Xia slowly press his temples.
Zhu Yuanqing closed his eyes and asked contentedly, "What time is it?"
"It's almost three o'clock." Pei Xia replied softly.
The silence at the moment was too precious. He didn't even dare to speak loudly. He just watched people from behind, for fear of disturbing the tranquility in the room.
Three o'clock? Zhu Yuanqing opened his eyes, squeezed Pei Xia's hand, and got out of bed. Only then did he have time to take in his surroundings.
Luxurious ceiling murals, imaginary and dreamy white jade carvings, long-haired carpets that reach the bottom of your feet, and a bed over two meters wide...
This is not his small guest room that you can see the end of at a glance. It is probably Pei Xia’s own room.
Zhu Yuanqing looked around, turned around, and asked, "Not hiding anymore?"
"No need to hide." Pei Xia led him out and took him to the bathroom. "It won't cause any big waves anyway."
Thinking of the poor plan of the people downstairs, he was quite disdainful: "A few pests, even if we do nothing, they can still kill themselves."
After washing up, the two sat down at the dining table. Pei Xia tested the temperature of the cup wall, handed the hot cocoa to Zhu Yuanqing, and pushed a plate of fruit over to him: "It will help you feel better."
After a hard night's work, Zhu Yuanqing had consumed a lot of energy. He quickly finished the food in front of him. Just as he was about to reach out to grab the lava cake in the distance, the plate was moved away by a hand.
What? You're not even allowed to eat? Zhu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow.
Pei Xia forked up a piece of blood orange and sighed, "It's not that I'm not letting you eat it, but you ate too fast just now. Can you take a break from eating fruit for two minutes?"
Zhu Yuanqing took a bite of the blood orange and looked down, only then did he realize that there were several empty plates in front of him. In addition to the staple food, there was also a small bowl of milk dumplings, a piece of brownie cake, and one or two macarons.
He swallowed the orange and waited for a while. The feeling of fullness came over him belatedly. If he ate any more, he would probably feel uncomfortable.
Zhu Yuanqing didn't blush or feel nervous. He took the fork in front of him and handed the strawberry to Pei Xia's mouth, supporting his chin and saying, "Considerate Pei Xiaoxia, can you help your boyfriend solve this problem?"
The bright smile was a little dazzling. Pei Xia laughed silently, bit off the bright red strawberry, and moved closer.
The flavor of strawberry mixed with that of orange. Zhu Yuanqing raised his chin and once again lamented the horror of non-human beings.
The steam from the food on the table gradually dissipated, and the two figures overlapped, neither of them paying attention.
