Chapter 486 Above the Posa (21) [VIP]
It seems that Wen Qi does know about the substitute.
Zhao Yinglai, who was standing nearby, did not miss the change in expression at that moment.
"Did she go to find a replacement this afternoon?" She looked at the expressions of the two people, and then looked at the alert Wen Qi and the half-smiled Skao, and asked in a low voice, "If she wants to find a replacement, then find a replacement. Why is she hiding from us?"
When they left this afternoon, Wen Qi had not left yet. Later, they met Xu Ke on the commercial street. Xu Ke was thinking about accompanying Wen Qi to school, so he asked them to send a message to Chang William, and got the news that Wen Qi had left alone.
She left after he and Skao left, and when she came back it was already late at night, close to twelve o'clock. It was hard not to think that she was avoiding the two of them.
Bai Jinshu's eyes wandered around Wen Qi, and he understood clearly: "She thought we were in cahoots with the Abnormal Investigation Bureau."
When they found Wen Qi last night, among the people present there was a Chang William whom she had never seen before, and Huai Jiamu, who she had labeled as the captain of a team that was out to capture her.
Chang William had established a lot of connections with the Tianquan Group in order to get close to them, and Huai Jiamu was here to arrest her. The fact that they were with these two people was enough to prove that they were on the same side.
It's normal for Wen Qi to avoid them.
After all, except for her, those who are also looking for substitutes here are all extremely vicious criminals who will be sentenced to death if caught.
It is still unclear where Wen Qi got the information.
It’s just that Wen Qi had thought that they were in the same group before. Now that he mentioned the word "stand-in", it’s not certain how Wen Qi would view him.
"Then let's..." Zhao Yinglai touched his chin, "Let Wen Qi take us to find Cai Hong and Fang Sha?"
It is definitely not a coincidence that these three people appear in the same place at the same time, but the place that can create substitutes is near where they appear.
But it's already night time, and Cai Hong and Fang Sha may not still be there. If we want to find them, we might as well wait for them starting tomorrow morning.
"No," Bai Jinshu retracted his gaze, "Let her come to us now."
It’s not like they need anything from Wen Qi now.
The reason why Wen Qi dared to promise in front of this group of people that she would go back with them was naturally because she had a "stand-in". Having a stand-in meant she had a way to escape. Even if she was taken back, she could let the stand-in fake her own death and find a chance to slip away.
"Xu Ke's guilt... is a very useful card." He looked at Xu Ke meaningfully.
Wen Qi might have initially just been planning to fake his own death to get away, and then take things one step at a time and plan slowly afterwards.
After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Her parents' attitude towards her is not like that of a child, but rather that of an enemy.
Once "Wen Qi" becomes a dead person, Wen Qi's identity, friends, social relationships, and some channels accumulated over the past decade will all be wiped out. If something goes wrong in any link after she faked her death and escaped, it will only be more troublesome when she is caught.
But if there is someone in an official capacity who is unlikely to sell her out and is willing to help her, then many things will be much easier.
This was why she had to act pitiful with Xu Ke this morning.
She had to first arouse Xu Ke's guilt, and then she "had to" follow them back for the overall interests of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau's action team. After they returned, the substitute Wen Qi would die immediately.
At this time, the news of Wen Qi's death must have made Xu Ke's guilt reach its peak. At this time, Wen Qi, who "escaped from death", appeared again, and Xu Ke's guilt reached its peak, and then turned into a compensation psychology.
"Is it possible that Xu Ke won't sell her out?" Zhao Yinglai doubted. "The other world is so chaotic. What if Tianquan gets wind of it and puts pressure on him?"
No matter what, Xu Ke is just a deputy captain under the Abnormal Investigation Bureau. The people who planned to kill them this time were originally related to the two people who bullied Wen Qi in school. For Wen Qi and Xu Ke, these people are definitely irresistible.
Would Xu Ke hide it to this extent for Wen Qi?
"It's not a big deal," Bai Jinshu raised an eyebrow, "Xu Ke didn't have to keep it a secret in the first place."
Xu Ke only needed to help her when she was in the most difficult time. By the time those people realized something was wrong and started to investigate Wen Qi's situation, she would have already cleared up all the clues.
"She only needs that moment of guilt," Bai Jinshu looked at Xu Ke, who didn't know he was being plotted against, and shook his head slightly. "And humans, in fact, are animals that are driven forward by momentary emotions most of the time."
Therefore, you only need to take advantage of the emotions at this moment to easily achieve your goal.
Zhao Ying almost felt sympathy for Wen Qi after hearing what she heard.
If they had not come in here, Wen Qi would have easily been able to use Xu Ke to achieve her own goals, quickly escape from the identity of "Wen Qi" and start a new life.
Now that we have Scario, we don’t know what will happen to her…
"No matter what, you better be gentle," she said with a twitch of her lips, "Wen Qi...well, she is indeed a pitiful person. After all, people cannot choose their own birth."
In many ways, Wen Qi was forced to do this.
"What do you think I will do to Wen Qi?" The next second, she saw Scario glance at her in surprise.
"Of course not," the long-haired young man crossed his arms and looked at Zhao Yinglai in surprise, "I don't hate Wen Qi, on the contrary, I like her very much."
Zhao Yinglai: "...I don't believe you."
Wen Qi was so frightened by your word "substitute", but you think you like her so much?
She would rather believe in ghosts than in Skao.
[Jiang Jie looked as if he was looking at a ghost.]
[I understand. My expression is also like I am looking at a ghost.]
【Why? 】
[To explain, Ao Shen's love is like this. Last time, Ao Shen said that he liked the evil god in the First Hospital, and then Yang Pei died. ]
【Grass……】
[How did Yang Pei die? ]
[It's unbelievable. Ao Shen said he liked the evil god, and then Yang Pei died after pushing the door. ]
【ah? 】
【Okay, this is very Skao.】
The investors in the barrage don’t know yet that the “evil god” of the First Hospital is currently lying in the pharmacy.
Just as they actually didn't know, Scario really liked Wen Qi.
When seeing Wen Qi, Scario feels like he is seeing his teenage self.
At that time, the world was like a highly unfolded painting in front of him. He learned too early how to see through the flesh and blood of most people, so he could only worry about having to mingle with these people whose love, hate, good and evil were too superficial.
But fate always gives excessive favors to young geniuses.
Scarao waited for his turning point and jumped up at a speed no one had imagined. Wen Qi also walked to this turning point.
If everything goes well, and she is able to completely extricate herself from "Wen Qi", she will definitely be able to rise to the top with such talent in the future.
But all this was based on the premise that Xu Ke thought Wen Qi had escaped death. If he knew now that Wen Qi had found a substitute and had thought of a way to escape after getting out, then it would be a small matter if no one helped Wen Qi after she faked her death. The real trouble was that she couldn't afford to bet that Xu Ke would link her to those death row prisoners who also came here to look for substitutes.
Once Xu Ke connects them together, Wen Qi's image in his mind will immediately change 80 degrees. He might then destroy Wen Qi's plan, and it would be difficult for Wen Qi to escape.
This is really a big problem.
So now it’s not that they are asking Wen Qi to take them to find Cai Hong and Fang Sha. On the contrary, Wen Qi now needs to beg them not to tell anyone about the substitute.
Bai Jinshu raised his head again, curled the corners of his mouth, and looked Wen Qi up and down.
Now she is begging them not to tell this news to anyone. In order to get out of this situation smoothly, Wen Qi will have to pay some chips.
After he blurted out those two words, Wen Qi began to feel visibly uneasy, and even squeezed out a few tears while looking at Bai Jinshu.
Unfortunately, he is not Xu Ke and will not fall for it.
Wen Qi could only wipe away her tears, take a deep breath, and quickly look around.
The other team members outside the pharmacy did not notice the brief eye contact between them and Skao.
Although Xu Ke felt guilty about her, whether or not to take her back was not the most important thing right now.
In order to trap them in this world forever, Xiao Guo destroyed the door for them to go back. If they cannot find a new way to return to another world as soon as possible, even if Wen Qi is willing to go with them, they will not be able to take her with them.
Wen Qi's return was just a small episode. The most important issue now was whether they could leave here. As twelve o'clock was getting closer and closer, they had to race against time and try every possible way to go back.
Without Wen Qi's deliberate interference, the attention of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau members quickly shifted from her to the game they were going to try next and the place they were going to go.
However, the opinions among the team members were not unanimous.
Xu Ke wanted to try some supernatural games with successful cases to see if he could go back to their world, but his teammates objected: "Deputy Captain, it's fine if these games don't succeed, but if they do, who can say that we will definitely go back to our world?"
The game's descriptions all say "another world", but who knows if this other world can actually lead them back to the one they had.
Some other teammates wanted to place their hopes on the door that was burned by Xiao Guo, saying that they should quickly repair the door so that they might be able to go back.
This was refuted by Xu Ke: "If I were Xiao Guo, the first thing I would do when I returned to that world would be to smash the door over there as well. We can repair the door here, but what about the door in the other world?"
It is easy to have different opinions when there are too many people. Previously, Xu Ke barely relied on his position as the deputy captain to temporarily unify everyone's opinions and prepared to try some supernatural games. Unexpectedly, Wen Qi's matter interrupted them and everyone started arguing again.
While no one was paying attention, Wen Qi quickly squeezed out a few tears, pretended to be sad, ran into the pharmacy, and said to Bai Jinshu, "Brother Fa Ye."
"You're also looking for a replacement, right?" She spoke in a low voice and quickly, "I just found one too. I'll take you there."
