Chapter 58 Greed 1 I am your father, do you still need to know me? ...
"07-02, recovered, congratulations, you have completed two world missions."
Gradually regaining consciousness, Xu Yanze lay in the cabin in a daze, until he felt something itchy on his cheek. He raised his hand to touch it, and found it was a transparent water stain.
The strong sense of unwillingness and reluctance was about to overwhelm him, especially since he didn't understand why he had such emotions. Xu Yanze lay on his side for a long time without uttering a word. The surging tears blurred his vision and fell on the back of his hand.
He touched the ring finger of his right hand again, and there was nothing there again. He raised his hand to check, and there was really nothing there.
"I have completed the tasks in both worlds?" Xu Yanze's voice was a bit nasal, but it was strangely calm. "You said it was completed just by talking. If you said it was not completed, I would not know."
Suddenly there was a sneer in the space, followed by a long-drawn out "ouch" sound, full of teasing.
"The next sentence is, so can you keep the memory of your small world?" Xu Yanze could confirm that the voice of the system broadcast was different, or for some reason it had been replaced by a human.
"Baby, don't be so funny. You haven't done anything wrong yet, but you're almost drowning in tears. If you keep the memory, you'll be ruined."
After he finished speaking, he coughed faintly, and the sound was even lower, as if he was a little unhappy. Then he choked and continued.
"So do you understand? Tasker, this is for your own good." This time he emphasized the word 'tasker' on purpose.
"Besides, your life is in my hands now. It's useless for you to talk. Just do your job well. If you do your job well, I will return your memory to you. If you are lucky, you can be released."
The more Xu Yanze listened, the more he frowned. This system's voice...
"Let him go and continue his mission?" Xu Yanze relaxed inexplicably and rolled his eyes.
"It's better than death."
Xu Yanze looked at the data cable hanging from above and connected to the back of his neck. He poked and shook it with his fingers. What would he see if he could climb up along this cable?
"You'll be given 30 minutes to rest. When you're done, get back to work."
A countdown suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yanze's eyes. The bright red jumping numbers made him close his eyes and turn his head immediately. It was so immoral and too dazzling.
"What are you looking at me for?"
He tied his dark brown slightly curly hair into a bun on top of his head, revealing his smooth and full forehead. His pair of fox eyes were so bright and shining when he smiled. You wouldn't think he was up to any bad intentions, but only smart and cunning.
"Yin Suohe, it was you who came up with the bad idea of fighting poison with poison. Now the consciousness of the main system of number seven has completely fallen into a deep sleep. You are quite capable, but the more you help, the more trouble you make."
He leaned back in his chair, supported his head and swayed back and forth in his chair, the ring with a black background and a red pattern on his right ring finger tightly wrapped around the base of his finger.
"Then why couldn't you even fart when we were discussing it before? What about now? Your butt just got better?"
After he finished speaking, the five floating electronic eyes in front of him fell silent for a moment, choked by his purely abusive way of communication.
"Very good. It seems that everyone supports me taking over the full responsibility from now on. It's another day of friendship among colleagues." He suddenly put down his hand that was lazily supporting his head, smiled and clapped his hands, his tone gentle.
"If you are dissatisfied." He stood up and glanced at the floating electronic eyes in front of him, squinted his eyes and smiled, revealing his fangs.
"Then go and complain to Zhuang Yuhuai."
"Marrying a superior makes you look tough."
The electronic eye labeled number one emitted a mocking voice, and it shook up and down. "I have no objection. Suohe has taken over. We just have to wait and see the results."
After saying that, he disappeared. Number 4 on the side also moved up and down, saying "Ditto" and disappeared. Number 2 said a very soft "Come on, Suohe" and immediately went offline at the speed of light.
Yin Suohe crossed his arms and looked at No. 5 and No. 6 with a smile on his face. He moved with astonishing speed and directly pinched No. 5's electronic eye.
"You're the only one who has an opinion? You're quite talkative."
Number Six disappeared without a word. Yin Suohe tightened his fingers, and a hole had been made in the silver-white sphere, which was emitting sparks.
“Ahem.”
Yin Suohe impatiently let go of his hand and smashed it to the ground, then looked up: "You coughed so much, does it look like you're going to die?"
The voice chuckled twice, deep and comfortable, making people's ears warm. "Suohe, don't go too far." The tone of the voice was a sigh without any blame, but rather a bit of indulgence.
"Zhuang Yuhuai, when did I marry you?" Yin Suohe leaned against the round conference table behind him with his arms folded, his face a little gloomy.
After saying that, Zhuang Yuhuai did not answer him. Yin Suohe stretched out his right hand and tried to pull the ring off, but it was no use. He even tried cutting off his finger. After soaking it in repair fluid, the ring followed the finger and recovered again.
"I'm sorry, I've set it up. Even I can't take it off." He spoke politely, and his tone was gentle, as if coaxing a lover, and even a little sticky, but Yin Suohe's face turned pale.
“You’re so cruel.” Yin Suohe looked at the red cursive English words “My destiny” on the black ring, and finally put on a smiling face.
"Honey, I'm still busy here, so I won't be back these two days. Goodbye, bye, I won't see you off."
After he finished speaking, the hypocritical smile on his face immediately disappeared. He reached out to call up the authority. A blue light swept across his pupils, and a secret door opened.
He walked to the huge sleeping cabin, where 07 was sleeping. Two blue halos were attached to the wall on the other side. From here, he could clearly see Xu Yanze frowning in the pure white space next door.
"It's not that you don't understand, it's that you can't understand." Yin Suohe reached out and grabbed the two halos, kneading them into a ball. "You don't want to return to your body, so are you so confident in your mechanical self?"
"Then let me see if you can give me a surprise."
Yin Suohe sat on the sleeping cabin and threw the halo out casually, with a stream of data flashing through his right eye.
At the same time, Xu Yanze was awakened by a shrill beeping sound. Before he opened his eyes, the data cable on the back of his neck tightened and his consciousness became dizzy.
Yin Suohe glanced at 07's sleeping cabin, and the gray screen in the upper left corner lit up blue. He then looked at Xu Yanze who was frowning and fainted opposite him.
"Loading 07-03: Greed"
*
Xiaoguanlan is built on the hillside, and the road around the mountain is winding and flat, with little slope, which meets the privacy and convenience required by a luxury house. The Kong family's wealth cannot be compared with that of several nobles, but this house is indeed one of the best.
In midsummer, you can't hear any cicadas chirping in Xiaoguanlan. You can only hear them roughly from a distance. When you walk here, you can only hear the rubbing of flowers and leaves and the sound of flowing water. The green plants on both sides look like they were designed by someone.
"Oh, look, Master Wang is finally here."
Wang Zhiyan looked up, but the servant beside him was distracted and didn't raise the parasol in time. He reached out and pressed the umbrella handle, and saw a noble lady in a red dress standing in the shade in front of the house and waving.
"Aunt Chang, thank you for coming."
The woman had a graceful figure and didn't even wear lipstick on her face, but for some reason she looked beautiful and any expression she made looked good. Her long curly hair was loosely tied behind her head, which looked plain yet bright.
"Oh my god, why do I feel so happy when Zhiyan says such polite words?"
Chang Qiuyi smiled affectionately, but did not take the initiative to get closer to him. The two of them were separated by two umbrellas and neither of them got close to each other.
"Xiao Jing arrived early and swam two or three laps in the swimming pool. Xiao Yu is hiding in the yard drinking tea by himself. Don't mess with him. He's been in a bad mood lately."
Wang Zhiyan casually glanced at the surrounding scenery. Little Guanlan was really well taken care of by this romantic woman.
It is a neo-Chinese style house, with a different view at every step. In midsummer, the sun makes people dizzy, but once you enter Xiaoguanlan, it seems to be cooler. There are many graceful trees with many flowers and green vines, all hanging down in a soft and graceful manner, and they are coiled around the round gray moon gate, not stingy at all.
Once you walk past here, you will enter a completely different world. In front of you are some modern furnishings, folding beach chairs, parasols, and a swimming pool.
"Wang Zhiyan, you are such a slow-moving kid. I've been waiting for you for so long." A figure suddenly broke out of the water when they approached, splashing water everywhere. Wang Zhiyan reacted quickly, but some water droplets still splashed onto his glasses.
He smiled good-naturedly, took off his glasses and wiped them with the cloth handed to him by the person behind him. He always had a smile on his face when he wore frameless glasses, and he looked gentle and dignified, but only when he took off his glasses and lowered his eyelids did you feel that his eyelids were thin and sharp.
"Yo! You're still shaking the water off. How annoying!"
Chang Qiuyi smiled and handed a towel to the young man who came ashore. He had red hair, wheat-colored skin, and a young and strong body with firm muscles.
"Xiao Jing, go change your clothes and come to the small flower hall later."
Fang Zijing casually smoothed his hair, grinned and responded, covered his head with a white towel, turned around and left.
"Aunt Chang, didn't you say that Jiayu's brother has returned recently? Is he not here today?"
Wang Zhiyan found that there were water droplets splashed on his light khaki pants. His brows were wrinkled slightly, and he felt a little annoyed. He took the initiative to ask why he was called over.
As they were talking, they had already arrived at the small flower hall. Wisteria hung down from the wooden frame, and the dark green and light green leaves of the vines diluted the sunlight, making it thin when it came through. As they walked along, they could smell the fragrance of gardenias. The screen wall on one side was dotted with orange-red trumpet creepers, and the grass was planted with mint. There was no insect at all, and it was quiet and elegant.
"Who has the face to call him over?" The young man in a short-sleeved shirt leaned back in his chair, sneering while holding his teacup.
"Jiayu, don't talk about your brother like that."
Chang Qiuyi's face really turned cold for a moment, but Wang Zhiyan didn't care. He sat aside, facing the other side. Between the flowers and leaves, he could see a path and a peach tree over there.
Kong Jiayu's face darkened for a moment, but he didn't say anything. He stood up and greeted him. Chang Qiuyi poured him a cup of tea and pushed a plate of beautiful purple grapes towards him, with white cool air floating on them.
Wang Zhiyan's eyebrows relaxed a little, he wiped his hands, picked up a piece and tasted it, then smiled again, and said slowly: "Aunt Chang, it's so hot, you took so much trouble to call Fang Zijing and me here, is it because of Uncle Kong?"
"Uncle Kong was reckless in Jinnan's project, which led to the current predicament. Everything in the business world is always changing. At the beginning, it looked like a big cake and I was anxious to swallow it, but when it was in my mouth, I found that I couldn't swallow it..."
Wang Zhiyan spoke slowly, and his tone was obviously mocking an elder, but no one here had the right to say anything bad about him.
"It's said that we are looking for someone to cooperate with us, but in the end it's like spitting out half and asking someone to help eat some of it. It still sounds ugly." Wang Zhiyan shook his head and smiled.
As he spoke, Fang Zijing came over. He was wearing an open polo shirt and long pants. He looked much more casual, but he was the only son of the Fang family and had already taken over most of the business.
"It sounds unpleasant, but what if this trip is in vain?" He sat between Wang Zhiyan and Kong Jiayu, leaned back in his chair, glanced at the scenery opposite, and saw the lonely peach tree.
"Aunt Chang, we have come this far, and there is no such thing as a small fight. Jinnan is a big cake, and the corresponding risks are not small. It takes a lot to enter the market."
He drank a sip of tea while talking, ignoring Kong Jiayu's increasingly worsening complexion, and finally smiled. "Uncle Kong should have experienced this a lot."
Chang Qiuyi was not so impatient. He smiled and poured them all a cup of tea.
"Aunt Chang doesn't understand what you're saying. I never care about the affairs of the mall. Brother Jiayu is back, so I want to let you guys, who are of the same generation, meet him."
Suddenly, a faint sound of footsteps was heard from afar in the quiet little flower hall.
Wang Zhiyan drank a sip of tea with his eyelids drooping. He heard the noise, which sounded like someone kicking stones all the way. Fang Zijing laughed, and the sound was prolonged.
"Okay, Aunt Chang, you are always like this..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
At the same time, the voice suddenly came very close, Wang Zhiyan looked up. Chang Qiuyi pursed his lips and smiled, and Kong Jiayu's face suddenly darkened, as if he could not help it anymore. Just as he was about to say something, Chang Qiuyi grabbed his arm and gave him a look.
In fact, Wang Zhiyan didn’t see anything. He only saw a stone being kicked onto the path, and then a person broke into the moon gate hidden behind flower vines.
The overexposed sunlight of midsummer shone on him wantonly. He walked forward in a hurry. His thick black hair blew in the breeze, so his face could not be seen clearly. His skin was so white that it was shining. The thin and loose white silk was outlined by the wind, and it also showed the beautiful curves of his body.
She has a long neck and an amazing waist-to-hip ratio, and her long legs walk with a unique rhythm and posture, not like the impetuousness of a teenager. Instead, she moves in a light and beautiful manner, like a dance step, with her hands naturally stretched out, hooking a pair of dance shoes.
Even though he couldn't see his face clearly, a person like this... Wang Zhiyan tightened his grip on the teacup. Even though he realized it was impolite, it was still difficult for him to look away.
"Yan Ze!" Chang Qiuyi suddenly called him in a crisp voice.
The distance was neither far nor near, so he could naturally hear it. The person who was about to turn around to the back of the peach tree turned sideways a little, and then put his hand to cover his forehead.
Fang Zijing on the side was crushing a grape. Wang Zhiyan understood how he felt and was curious whether his face could live up to their expectations, but he blocked it again. He made a fool of himself in his anxiety, and seemed like a worldly-wise man.
Wang Zhiyan lowered his head to drink tea, his fingertips clenched the teacup, looking at the shadows of trees and flowers reflected in the tea.
"Just came back from dance practice? Yanze, there are two brothers here, don't you want to come and meet them?"
The man was standing next to the peach tree. He turned his head and saw a group of people, and seemed to be planning to leave. After Chang Qiuyi said so, he stood there for a while, blocking the light and walked towards this side.
Fang Zijing has already asked around. "Jiayu, is this your brother? I heard he's a ballet dancer?"
Kong Jiayu didn't answer, but lowered his head to drink tea. He didn't blame anyone, but was busy looking at people's faces with curiosity.
"I have so many brothers?" Before he came over, he had already spoken with a sarcastic tone, his voice a little cold. As we approached the Moon Gate, we were in the shade of the trees.
He still had a light scent of shampoo after taking a shower. He was leaning against the moon gate, with bright red trumpet creepers beside his white arms.
He put down his hand, and a pair of black eyes swept over. Wang Zhiyan immediately looked up at him, and lifted his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his fingers. Fang Zijing was more direct, he stood up, walked around the small table with a playful smile, and stretched out his hand.
"What a handsome brother, can you meet me?"
Kong Yanze looked at Fang Zijing, stretched out his hand as if to shake hands, and the next second he hugged his arms. He raised his dense and black eyelashes, and his beautiful eyes with flowing lines showed a hint of sarcasm. His water-red lips with obvious beads opened and closed as he uttered a word.
"I'm your father, do I need to know you?"
