However, Song Xuanhe turned his phone to silent mode and did not give him this chance.
"Really?" Zhou Nan bit half of the bun he was holding, and opened his eyes wide, trying to show rebuke but unable to hide his gloating: "It's fine if you treat me like this, but you even hang up on Xiao Yuanmu's phone call?"
"You came here early in the morning just to have breakfast and chat about gossip with me?" Song Xuanhe raised his eyes, and the impatience between his brows was not sure whether it was because of being woken up or because of what he just said, anyway, it was directed at Zhou Nan.
Zhou Nan shrugged, stopped talking tactfully, and said, "You haven't been back for so long. You have to go to the United States again in two days. I have to go drink with you."
"Tomorrow." Song Xuanhe corrected, then put down the chopsticks in his hand and stood up, "Wait for me."
"Tomorrow?" Zhou Nan asked in surprise, "Doesn't your show start in a week? Why do you have to go tomorrow?"
The one who answered him was Song Xuan and the closed door.
Ten minutes later, Song Xuanhe came out, dressed neatly, and said, "Will you accompany me to the Song Corporation first?"
"So obedient?" Zhou Nan joked, "You still report to your dad?"
"Looking for my brother." Song Xuanhe took a few steps and asked Zhou Nan: "Do you know what Bai Mo said before?"
"You know?" Zhou Nan frowned. "He's just talking nonsense outside and no one believes him. You don't have to worry about it. He has stopped talking nonsense some time ago."
"Is Jiang Deyi's hand really disabled?"
Zhou Nan was stunned and said, "Yes, and no."
Song Xuanhe glared at him, and Zhou Nan said aggrievedly: "How can I know whether he is disabled or not? He rarely appears in front of people, and the only time he appeared was when he was wrapped in gauze. We can only know whether he is disabled or not by uncovering it."
"But he is also a designer. If your designer's hands are really broken, it would be very difficult for him to work." Zhou Nan shook his head and sighed, "I don't know who that guy offended. Although I thought he was unpleasant before, seeing his hands like that is really... how should I put it, it's quite complicated. I don't know what deep hatred he had that led to his hands being broken. It's too cruel."
Song Xuanhe paused, put his vibrating phone back into his pocket, and asked, "Are you going or not?"
"Go, go, go." Zhou Nan said with a sigh, "Why do I feel less patient than before after going out?"
Song Xuanhe's car followed behind Zhou Nan's car. In the quiet car, his fingers tapped on the steering wheel and his lips were slightly pursed.
[I noticed that your emotional value is continuously decreasing at a very low level. I have never obtained such data before. Brother, what's wrong with you? 】The system's long-lost flavor came back online, and the tone sounded much more lively than before.
Song Xuanhe paused tapping the steering wheel and said, "Nothing."
System question: [Tapping the steering wheel with your fingers is not your usual habit. Among the humans I have seen, the one who uses this action the most is Xiao Yuanmu. Is the continuous decline in your emotional value related to this action of yours? 】
"No." Song Xuanhe expressed his impatience with a single word.
[Through comparison, I found that Wei Chen doesn't know you as well as Zhou Nan. 】The system said: [Wei Chen said your temper has improved, but actually it hasn’t. Zhou Nan said your temper has gotten worse. The data shows that what he said is true. 】
Song Xuanhe: "Shut up."
[Look, your current emotional fluctuations and what you said prove the correctness of my data, and...] Looking at the data showing that Song Xuan's emotional value was rapidly decreasing and was about to fall below the emotional stability line, the system immediately shut up.
When they got to the place, Zhou Nan and Song Xuanhe got out of the car one after the other. He observed Song Xuanhe's expression, which seemed to be the same as before he got in the car, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Are you afraid that Brother Lin will keep you in the company and not let you leave?"
Song Xuanhe stepped into the Song Building and said perfunctorily, "I'm afraid I'll run into Song Guochao."
Thinking of the possible scene that might happen if Song Xuanhe and Song Guochao collided, Zhou Nan retracted his raised foot: "I'd better wait for you in the car. You and Brother Lin haven't seen each other for so long, I have to leave some space for you to chat."
Song Xuanhe looked at him with a half-smile, Zhou Nan turned around neatly and jumped down a few stairs, pounded his chest, and said seriously: "Brother is with you."
…
When Song Xuanhe arrived at Song Xuanlin's office, Song Xuanlin had just finished a meeting. He was surprised for a moment to see him inside, and waved to the secretary following behind him to leave.
"Are you willing to come back?"
Song Xuanlin walked over to Song Xuanhe and sat down. He took out the tea set and said while making tea: "Tell me, what did you do outside? You were so happy that you even forgot to call to let me know you were safe."
Song Xuanhe avoided the main point: "The photos are all there, I will pack them up and send them to you when the time comes."
Song Xuanlin raised his eyes and did not pursue the matter. He just said, "You came to me to report that you are safe or to report to the company?"
"I came to ask you about Bai Mo." Song Xuanhe pretended not to understand Song Xuanlin's hint and said, "I'm going to the United States tomorrow. It's too troublesome to find Bai Mo. I heard that you looked for him, so I came to find you."
Song Xuanlin frowned slightly: "His problem has been solved, you don't have to come here specially."
"Brother." Song Xuanhe asked, "Is Jiang Deyi's hand really disabled?"
Song Xuanlin hesitated for a moment, but still replied: "It's useless, but that's none of your business."
"The thing in Zhou Rong's hand was provided by him and Hayden Schroeder, right?" Song Xuanhe said calmly, "It's really none of my business what happened to his hand, but who caused his hand to become like this has something to do with me, right?"
Song Xuanlin lowered his eyes, and poured the tea in a neat and calm manner, but his voice was cold: "He brought this upon himself, it has nothing to do with you."
"How's Hayden Schroeder doing?"
Unable to get an answer, Song Xuanhe changed the question: "How is Hayden Schroeder?"
"There's no news from him." Song Xuanlin handed him the tea and said in a mellow voice, "Try it."
Song Xuanhe didn't pick up the cup, and his brows frowned a little.
When he learned about Jiang Deyi from Wei Chen, he first guessed that the mastermind behind this incident was Xiao Yuanmu, but because he didn't hope it was him, after hearing Wei Chen say that Bai Mo had a conversation with Song Xuanlin, he guessed it was Song Xuanlin. After all, the mastermind behind Lu Chao's tragic death in the book was most likely Song Xuanlin. At this time, it was discovered that Jiang Deyi sold drugs to Lu Chao, so it was very likely that he would take action against Jiang Deyi.
Song Xuanhe's analysis is not unreasonable. In the later period of the book, Xiao Yuanmu had already taken over the Xiao family. He was busy expanding the Xiao Empire and avoiding open and secret attacks. It was hard enough for him to think of helping someone he hated to the core and who had been dead for a long time to take revenge. After excluding Xiao Yuanmu, the only one who might and had the ability to avenge the original owner was Song Xuanlin.
Moreover, Song Xuanhe knew that although Song Xuanlin did not love the original owner's younger brother and was even a little indifferent to him, he would never allow outsiders to bully him because of his strong sense of responsibility. This sense of responsibility made it very likely that he would feel guilty after the original owner's death, so it was normal for him to choose to use Lu Chao's life to compensate the original owner to erase his guilt.
This sense of responsibility can also be described as protecting one's own shortcomings, so if he knew that Zhou Rong's drugs were provided by Jiang Deyi, then there is a high possibility that he would teach Jiang Deyi a lesson.
However, when Song Xuanhe heard him say that there was no news about Hayden Schroeder, he knew that he was not the one who did it.
"Is there any news about the Schroeder family?"
Song Xuanlin looked at Song Xuanhe in surprise. After two seconds of silence, he told the truth: "The Schroeder family has been in turmoil recently, and the news I got was also vague."
"What news is there?"
Song Xuanlin shook his head: "If you want to know, you can ask Xiao Yuanmu, he should know very well."
"Also, because you haven't contacted your family for more than two months, your mother is really worried about you, so she can only contact Xiao Yuanmu to find out from him whether you are safe. Don't be so willful next time. Since you can contact Xiao Yuanmu, at least call your mother to let her feel at ease."
Song Xuanhe opened and pursed his lips for a long while before saying, "I haven't contacted him."
Song Xuanlin frowned, "Then how did he know about you?"
"Maybe he made it up." Song Xuanhe said, "I go out to relax. I don't like to contact people. You don't have to worry about me."
Unexpectedly, after hearing that Song Xuan and Lian Xiao Yuanmu had no contact, Song Xuanlin's face darkened: "If no one can contact you, how can we not worry?"
Song Xuanhe said innocently, "I'm back safely, right? It's normal to have so much fun outside that you forget to contact your family. And I'll still go out to play after Fashion Week is over. If I remember, I'll contact you. Don't worry if I don't remember. You'll get used to it after a few times anyway."
Hearing Song Xuanhe's unreasonable arguments, Song Xuanlin frowned and said, "Next time I won't help you hide it from mother."
Song Xuanhe smiled at him, stood up and said, "Let's talk about it next time. Zhou Nan is still waiting for me downstairs. I'm leaving first."
As he stepped out of Song Xuanlin's office, the smile on Song Xuanhe's face faded.
The system suddenly spoke: [Have you decided to wait until the time comes to return to your world from Alang Country? 】
Song Xuanhe stepped into the elevator without answering.
[But wasn’t the Alang country that you checked out earlier already discovered by Assistant Zhang Chao? 】The system said:【Do you have any other choice? 】
Song Xuanhe said lightly: [Colombia. 】
The system was silent for a while, and then said: [Have you ever thought about what would happen to your family, friends and Xiao Yuanmu if you disappeared? 】
[Those are just the original owner’s family and friends.] 】The elevator door opened, Song Xuanhe walked out, and said calmly as he walked: [I have my own family and friends. 】
[But they are all gone.] 】The system said: 【And even if you leave, your soul cannot be separated from Song Xuanhe's body, so in principle, you are already Song Xuanhe in this world, why don't you choose to stay? 】
Song Xuanhe paused for a moment, his eyes fell on Zhou Nan who looked bored, the corners of his mouth raised slightly and then retracted, with an indiscernible emotion in his clear eyes: [I have reasons to go back, but I don’t have reasons to stay. 】
