Chapter 12: Unfathomable Shen Yingxue
Shen Yingxue's mission is simple to say - to integrate into this world as the original owner - the system is an auxiliary tool to complete the mission, so at specific times, it will remind Shen Yingxue and let him perform freely.
Shen Yingxue can fit in here by pretending to be a madman, but he can't stay crazy forever.
After it returns to normal, it can't be too different. Shen Yingxue once asked the system when the mosaic could be removed, and the system told him that it would be removed when the time came. He waited for three years, and finally waited for this day.
Shen Yingxue looked down at the blood on the white shirt and frowned. [The mosaic disappeared. Does this mean that the original owner is like me, a person who will never give up even the slightest grudge?]
[Have you ever seen a cult leader as magnanimous as this one?] The system asked back.
That's true.
Shen Yingxue walked around the house but couldn't find any clothes to change into, so she left the room and went downstairs to the counter to ask the waiter to borrow some.
When Jiang Hanfeng brought him here, he looked like he was just sleeping. Not long after, he was covered in blood and his throat was hoarse. He started coughing before he could finish a sentence and spat out a mouthful of blood, which scared the waiter. "Yes, there is, but it is not suitable for your status. You are so badly injured, you'd better rest first. Jiang Daxia has saved a lot of money in the cabinet. I will buy you a set of ready-made clothes and ask a good doctor to come and see you."
"No need." Shen Yingxue didn't want to linger too long. If she went too late, the banquet would have been over. "I have a special status. Don't mention me to others. If Jiang Daxia comes back, just tell him that I'm going out for a walk and will be back in the evening."
Shen Yingxue couldn't quite remember the name, and for fear of saying it wrong, she followed the waiter and called Jiang Hanfeng that.
"This... but... Jiang Daxia has instructed that you are not allowed to... Hey, this gentleman!"
Shen Yingxue had made up his mind to leave. He finally got rid of the mosaic, and he couldn't sleep in the inn all day. Without waiting for the waiter to finish, he turned around and left. When he went out, he looked around and saw the tall restaurant at a glance. He was not afraid of getting lost at all.
Shen Yingxue adjusted her clothes and put on her mask, ignoring the strange looks from passers-by on the street and walked straight towards her target.
He had no money on him, was wearing a mask, and looked disheveled and miserable, which easily attracted attention.
The man who had crushed his wrist was too malicious to be recognized by him.
The mask on his face can indeed cover it up, but it is useless for acquaintances. Didn't the robot cat recognize him just by looking at his back?
Shen Yingxue came to the restaurant slowly, like a seriously injured man who had no strength to move, and sat in the southwest corner of the restaurant, diagonally above the enemy's drinking room. At this distance, with the original owner's keen hearing, she could vaguely hear the voices of the people talking inside.
There should be two people there, and it seems that the dishes have not been served yet. The two people did not pour wine frequently, and they were chatting most of the time. Shen Yingxue could not hear the content of the chat clearly, and only heard the names of "Jiang Zhiyi" and "Shen Yingxue", and a few other names that Shen Yingxue had no impression of at all.
[My blocked memories, aren't they being released yet?]
[You are too weak now, and it is not suitable for you to attack proactively. It is better to proceed step by step.]
If Shen Yingxue had her memories, she would definitely be as desperate for revenge as a mad dog and wouldn't be able to resist doing something behind his back.
These people are not easy to deal with. If Shen Yingxue gets involved, the system will be destroyed along with him. For the sake of safety, it is better not to let him know.
The door of the inn opened, and the people inside quickly saw him. The waiter didn't dare to chase him away with a broom like a beggar. He wandered around outside for a while, then bravely stepped forward and said, "Great hero, are you okay?"
Shen Yingxue glanced at him slowly.
He was concentrating on stealing intelligence and didn't want to be disturbed.
The waiter said, "You seem to be badly injured. Do you want me to take you to the hospital?"
With Shen Yingxue sitting here, no one dared to come to their inn. If the guests came out later, it would not be nice to see such a gangster. More importantly, Shen Yingxue looked seriously injured. It would be unlucky if she died in front of their store.
"No need." Shen Yingxue said.
The waiter was still afraid of him, so he went back dejectedly and whispered with other people in the store, discussing how to get rid of this man.
At this moment, a red-painted, low-bottomed carriage suddenly arrived outside the inn. The wheels were very large and the carriage was moving very slowly and steadily. There was a servant driving the carriage outside, and there were more than ten guards following behind. The scene was grand and magnificent, not something that an ordinary family should have.
The carriage stopped in front of the inn. First, a servant got out of the carriage, opened the red curtain, and then a young man in royal blue brocade clothes came out.
The young man had fair skin, not slim but a little fat, with round cheeks, which made him look younger and somewhat innocent.
He fixed his eyes on Shen Yingxue who was sitting in the corner, and walked towards him curiously. The guards following him were so frightened that they rushed forward and surrounded Shen Yingxue.
At this point, the passers-by who had only dared to secretly look at Shen Yingxue stopped and looked at him openly. Shen Yingxue glared at the boy angrily and said in a bad tone: "What's wrong with you?"
"You look handsome and have a noble demeanor, so why are you sitting here like a homeless dog?" the young man asked in an innocent tone.
Shen Yingxue thought of the foolish emperor of the Western Jin Dynasty's words "Why not eat meat porridge?" and immediately felt that this person was also like a fool. "Do you think I want to?"
If he had money, he would definitely rent the room next to his enemy and hide inside to eavesdrop. Wouldn't that be better? Or if he could inherit some of the original owner's martial arts, fly to the roof, hide under the building, and he wouldn't be in such a miserable state as he is now.
Fortunately, Shen Yingxue had been a madman for three years and had done a lot of embarrassing things, so he had become a little thicker-skinned than before. No matter how others looked at him, he would not take it to heart.
"Cai'er, go get some clothes from the carriage." The young man said to the servant, then took a few steps forward and looked at Shen Yingxue's profile. "I think you look very kind, so I'll be merciful and help you. I'll do you a favor and treat you to a meal. How about that?"
Shen Yingxue hesitated for a moment.
The servant named Cai'er brought a new coat and handed it to Shen Yingxue. Shen Yingxue looked at him for a few seconds, raised her hand to take it, and put it on to cover the blood stains on her chest.
"Get up and follow me upstairs!" the young man said, and went into the restaurant first.
Cai Er said to Shen Yingxue, "Let me be frank with you. My young master is of a very special status. You should be more respectful and don't have any inappropriate thoughts. If you dare to harm him, the guards outside will not tolerate it."
"Why haven't you come yet? What are you dawdling about?"
Shen Yingxue looked at the crowds of people watching and realized that he couldn't stay here any longer. He might as well go in and take a look. He slowly stood up and followed the young man in blue.
The young man was very grand, and before he went upstairs, servants had already come over to make arrangements.
Shen Yingxue was led by the guards to an empty room to change his clothes. Those people made sure that he had no sharp weapons on him before taking him to the young man in brocade clothes.
Shen Yingxue originally thought that this place was not far from Zhongdu, and the boy should be the child of an official family. Unexpectedly, he went directly to the third floor and stopped at that familiar room. Shen Yingxue's enemy, a man in white clothes about thirty years old, and a younger young man who looked like his godson, all stood outside the house and greeted him with greetings.
"You guys came so early, but I'm late." The young man in brocade clothes said with a smile. He turned around and glanced at Shen Yingxue, "Hurry up, are you injured too badly and can't walk? Do you want to find a doctor to take a look?"
"Who is this person?" asked the man in white.
Shen Yingxue took a quick look, scanned the three people, and confirmed that the enemy did not recognize him, and said in a weak voice: "Ling Yun."
People at that time did not know the Lingyun tree, until they saw Lingyun, people began to know its height.
Shen Yingxue wanted to say that her name was "Taishan", but this suggestion was too strong and might give her enemy an idea. If he suddenly figured it out and recognized her, she would be in trouble.
"Look, isn't it a coincidence that my name is Wen Ling, which also has the character Ling in it." The young man in blue clothes said, "I thought you looked familiar the first time I saw you, and now it seems that we are indeed destined to meet. This is my cousin Wen Hai. This is Fu Sheng, the leader of a small gang. I don't recognize the one next to him."
Wen Ling introduced them to Shen Yingxue one by one, and his words showed disdain for Fu Sheng.
"He is Han Jing, from Yuding Villa." After Fu Sheng finished speaking, he saw that Han Jing was in a daze and did not come to his senses, so he touched him with his arm.
Han Jing quickly saluted: "Second Master, and this... Master Ling."
When Shen Yingxue appeared here, Han Jing was stunned.
He had been dealing with Fu Sheng these days, because he had a deep hatred for Shen Yingxue, so it was reasonable for him to set a trap for Fu Sheng to force Yuding Villa and get Shen Yingxue out. After finally gaining Fu Sheng's trust, Fu Sheng said he wanted to ask the people above for their opinion, and Han Jing realized that Fu Sheng was just a puppet in the hands of others.
It just so happened that his boss was free and knew that Han Jing and Shen Yingxue were irreconcilable, so he was interested in meeting him, so Han Jing followed him over.
His adoptive father's life and death all depended on him alone. Han Jing was cautious in every step, fearing that he would make the wrong decision, and tried hard to leave a way out for Shen Yingxue who was controlled by Jiang Hanfeng.
Just now, he felt that Shen Yingxue was pitiful being trapped in Jiang Hanfeng's place, but he didn't expect that the next moment, Shen Yingxue appeared in front of him and became a guest of the nobleman.
My godfather is truly unfathomable!
Han Jing was surprised and looked at Shen Yingxue several times. He found that Shen Yingxue's eyes were not on him, as if she didn't know him. It took him a while to understand Shen Yingxue's plan.
Han Jing had never heard of the names of these two Master Wen. They were probably pseudonyms.
Fu Sheng obeyed Master Wen Hai's orders, and Wen Ling was obviously a simple-minded person. It would be best if his adoptive father started with him and let him get involved in the calculations of Wen Hai and Fu Sheng, which was much simpler than Han Jing.
Wen Hai recognized that Shen Yingxue was wearing Wen Ling's clothes. He poured a glass of wine and passed it to Shen Yingxue. "Looking closely, you and Brother Ling do have some similarities. I also feel close to you. This is a rare fate. Why don't you take off your mask and let us see what kind of appearance you have to catch Brother Ling's eye?"
