The Explosive and Badly Ended Stand-in Story (XVIII)
"Jiang Yuan?"
Gu Zhi guessed the person on the other end of the phone in a second. The other party's tone was calm. Gu Zhi thought of the person he was calling Mr. Shen, and sneered, "It's you, you climbed into the Shen family's bed so quickly? Let me guess, is it Shen Shi or Shen Yining? Why didn't I realize that you don't care about men and women before?"
The speaker was turned up to the maximum volume, and Gu Zhi's despicable words reached the ears of everyone on Jiang Yuan's side. Facing Gu Zhi's insult, Jiang Yuan calmly replied: "Mr. Gu, you can't judge by your own standards."
"Jiang Yuan, what do you mean?" Gu Zhi felt that there was something else in the other party's words.
"That's pointless. You're impotent and you advocate Platonic love. If sleeping on someone else's bed is called bed crawling, then I can't help it."
“…”
“…”
“…”
???!!!!!!
Jiang Yuan dropped an atomic bomb in a calm tone, and everyone fell silent.
Shen Yining looked nonchalant, but in fact, his eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and he felt a surge of joy in his heart: Oh wow!
There were a group of men in black around, some of them lowered their heads, some looked up at the sky, and some lay on the ground pretending to be dead.
Is this something we working people can listen to? The rich are really complicated.
Gu Zhi: "Jiang Yuan, you don't need to provoke me with this kind of thing. We are Plato because I once wanted to cherish you, but now you have disappointed me so much."
Jiang Yuan said "Oh" and did not refute.
Sometimes not answering is actually an answer.
People who like to watch the drama are very good at reading comprehension. Jiang Yuan's shocking revelations alone are enough to make people imagine a lot, not to mention that Jiang Yuan now looks indifferent. In the eyes of others, he inexplicably has a kind of tolerance towards his ex, "Whatever you say is what it is." This makes Gu Zhi's counterattack seem more like a face-saving move for himself.
Gu Zhi slowed down his tone, "For the sake of our past friendship, if you come back now and behave yourself, maybe I will forgive you."
Jiang Yuan: "No need, Mr. Gu, we have no relationship, only a deal. From the beginning, I was just responsible for the work of a substitute."
Every word Jiang Yuan said was full of revelations. Gu Zhi was so obsessed with Jiang Yuan, so the Shen family naturally investigated him. They only knew that Gu Zhi was just playing around, but they didn't expect him to use a substitute. They also didn't expect the substitute to dare to say such a thing, and they didn't expect it to be so difficult to control.
While Shen Yining sent people to move the car and clean up the outside of the hospital, Shen Shi was reluctant to be pushed away and stared at the hospital. Shen Yining had no choice but to send him back to the hospital and increase his protection. While signaling Jiang Yuan to continue the call, she took a break from her busy schedule to eat some melon.
Gu Zhi: "I know you are talking in anger. The phone you took has a location, and you are still in the hospital. Are you lying to me?"
Gu Zhi's thinking is inexplicably simple.
After all, subordinates usually contacted him through his secretary and special assistant, and no one was bold enough to come to him directly. Gu Zhi subconsciously thought that Jiang Yuan had used some means to get his subordinates' mobile phones.
Gu Zhi: "Stop it, no one will believe you if you say this. They will just think you are ignorant of your own limitations. Stand-in is not a good word to begin with. If you come back, I promise to continue to take care of your family. Jiang Yuan, I suggest you give up. I know you have woken up. Think about it carefully. The world is on my side in the end."
“…”
Gu Zhi was telling the truth. After awakening, he had experienced many reincarnations and clearly knew that the world revolved around him. He believed that Jiang Yuan knew this truth. The other party sighed softly. When Gu Zhi thought that the other party was going to compromise, he got the answer, "Idiot."
“…”
Gu Zhi thought he had misheard, "What did you say?"
Jiang Yuan replied calmly: "I said you are an idiot."
"How dare you scold me?!" Gu Zhi was in disbelief, then alert, "No, Jiang Yuan wouldn't say that to me! You're not Jiang Yuan, who are you? Why is there another outsider occupying Jiang Yuan's body? Get out of his body!"
Gu Zhi's words sounded like insanity to others.
After hearing this, Shen Yining and the subordinates passing by glanced at Jiang Yuan and began to sympathize with him for getting along with such a lunatic.
Jiang Yuan: "Boss Gu, are you having mental problems again? I'm Jiang Yuan, there's no outsider, and I know how to curse. The reason I didn't curse you before was very simple, because we signed a contract, you're the boss and I'm the subordinate, and subordinates generally don't dare to curse their bosses before they leave."
"What do you mean? Jiang Yuan and I are not over yet."
"Hello, our contract has long expired. I fulfilled my promise to be your body double, but you didn't keep your promise to save my family. Furthermore, I've already repaid you the full amount of 2.43 million you spent on my family. I even gave you more, but you accepted it without reminding me. Please return it to me. A total of 300,005,008 yuan, rounded up to 300,000 yuan. Please return it to me."
Jiang Yuan was like a ruthless debt collection machine, emphasizing the need to pay back the money several times. Gu Zhi was speechless. "You want all three hundred thousand, you really haven't seen the market, it turns out you're still a substitute, Shen Shi would never do this."
Jiang Yuan: "Well, I am different from Mr. Shen, so I will pay you back, and Mr. Gu, I didn't lie to you, I am here with Mr. Shen."
"Don't struggle so hard, Jiang Yuan. You lie without thinking." Gu Zhi was halfway through laughing when he heard a faint female voice coming from the other end of the phone, "Hehe, hello, Mr. Gu."
"...Ah, hello, Mr. Shen." If it were true, Gu Zhi would not panic. With Shen Shi, he would be able to swallow up the Shen family sooner or later.
However, Jiang Yuan intervened the next second, "Hello, Mr. Gu, our call has always been on external speaker."
Gu Zhi: “…………”
Gu Zhi took a breath and asked, "Jiang Yuan, where are you now?"
"As you can see, it's at Shen's Hospital." Gu Zhi was about to say that even if it was exposed, it didn't matter, but Jiang Yuan said, "It's at the senior payment counter in the hospital lobby."
So now they are in the spotlight.
Jiang Yuanshi particularly emphasized the word "senior", meaning that those who helped pay the bills were subordinates of prominent figures. With Shen Yining around, they didn't dare take pictures, but with Jiang Yuan's call, Gu Zhi introduced himself, and even if Gu Zhi blocked the news, it would become a dessert on the dinner table.
After all, rumors spread the fastest and are the hardest to suppress.
"Jiang Yuan, you are crazy!"
Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but handed the phone to Shen Yining, who gestured with her hand. Shen Yining's tone was full of laughter, "I think it's you, Mr. Gu, who's gone crazy. You're planning to take advantage of our Shen family. You like my brother so much, but you even went to the trouble of having someone destroy my brother's thesis, preventing him from returning to China for several years. What on earth are you thinking?"
"Are you really in love with Bai Yueguang, or are you just looking for an excuse to play the role of a substitute? But unfortunately, I don't think you are very good at it. Why did the people on the Gu board of directors nominate you to take office?"
"Mr. Chen, you really don't care about your brother's face by talking about your family's ugly things in public." Gu Zhi didn't answer, but just pushed back. It was a pity that Shen Yining didn't care about face.
"My brother is not ashamed, it's you who is ashamed. In the final analysis, my brother's experience is all due to you. It's his bad luck that you have chosen him. The Shen family cares least about face. At this time, face can't be eaten, and there is no need to have it. But you, Mr. Gu, can't even get a substitute Bai Yueguang, and you are also impotent. Do you still have your face?"
Gu Zhi:………………
"Beep, beep, beep—" the sound of the phone being hung up echoed in my ears.
Jiang Yuanshi listened quietly to the sound of Gu Zhi's defense being broken.
Shen Yining threw the phone to his subordinates, took the wet wipes to wipe his hands, and said to Jiang Yuan: "Okay, there is nothing to do with Mr. Jiang here. I can still distinguish between good and bad. My brother is in the old place before, please take care of him. As for your family, these are Shen Shi's affairs and have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Yuan thanked Shen Yining and turned to leave.
Shen Yining snorted and left the crowd, sighing as he walked, "Why are all the handsome guys gay these days?"
*
Jiang Yuanshi returned to the ward floor. Many eyes fell on him along the way. Jiang Yuanshi apologized to Jiang Yuan in his heart. Jiang Yuan didn't need to be exposed in the crowd, but now he had no choice but to do this.
Jiang Yuanshi returned to the room, glanced at the lifeless Shen Shi, opened the door of the ward, and saw that the two people lying inside had normal heartbeats. The sound of the electrocardiogram made him feel relieved for the first time.
"Mission accomplished." The system's voice rang in Jiang Yuanshi's mind, "Hello host, we have integrated all the NPCs around Gu Zhi who are similar to Bai Yueguang's substitute according to your request."
"Ah, you're back? Really? Thank you. Are there many people?" Jiang Yuanshi reacted, and the system replied, "Not many, thirteen in total."
The system projects pictures onto the wall through a projector. There are thirteen faces, ranging in age from young to old, spanning Gu Zhi's life.
"The one with the highest similarity currently is Secretary Zhou. The one with the lowest similarity is this unnamed NPC with a 66% similarity. This is a little boy that Gu Zhi had brought to a banquet by another boss. He was later thrown out by Gu Zhi, but there are bruises on his neck due to fingerprints."
How much do you like to strangle people?
But the minimum similarity is still above the passing line. Jiang Yuanshi doesn't understand why so many similar NPCs are created? The protagonist doesn't have a common face.
Jiang Yuanshi made a bold guess: "Mr. System, is it possible that these NPCs are the shells of the protagonists eliminated from the failed world?"
The system responded negatively: "This speculation is not valid. Forming the character's appearance requires energy. Failure of the mission will only clear the host or carrier within the shell, but will not cause a redo. This exceeds the estimated cost."
Jiang Yuanshi, who guessed wrong, was not disappointed: "Okay."
This time it was the system that asked: "Host, what happened while the system was away?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Can't you watch the replay?"
The system thought for a moment and said, "Wait a moment, let me enter Shen Shi's body."
Shen Shi's body moved, his limbs flying around like a puppet, and finally he turned his head and stared at Jiang Yuanshi.
Jiang Yuanshi: …………
How is this different from a horror movie?
Shen Shi's brows were knitted tighter and tighter, and finally his whole body was empty, as if he had frozen.
"Um...are you okay?" Jiang Yuanshi asked. He shouldn't have done anything out of the ordinary.
But unfortunately, the system began to collapse when Jiang Yuanshi used Jiang Yuan's face to say that Gu Zhi was impotent. When Shen Yining learned the truth that Gu Zhi used Jiang Yuan and Shen Shiji as substitutes for Bai Yueguang, the system began to get nervous, fearing that the NPC who suddenly appeared would kill Jiang Yuanshi.
Finally, Shen Yining waved his hand, not caring at all, and even had a feeling of matchmaking. The system became numb, the CPU was overloaded, and it burned up.
Forget it. There is no prompt that the mission failed. Let the other party do it. I can't stop him anyway.
The system replied in my mind: "I'm fine."
These three short words seemed to describe the system's lifetime fatigue.
System: "What are you going to do next?"
Jiang Yuanshi thought for a moment and said, "Let me apply to you first."
The system has a bad feeling.
Jiang Yuanshi: "I'm going to be a hostage."
The confused system: "What hostages?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Oh...that's not right. It's not a hostage. Gu Zhi is going to arrest the whistleblower, so I plan to play that role."
System: "You promised not to endanger the lives of the protagonists, including Jiang Yuan."
Jiang Yuanshi nodded, his eyes clear, and he pointed at himself:
"Yes, that's why it's me, Jiang Yuanshi."
