I failed again

"Do you really want to divorce me?" Lin Ze asked instead of answering.

Si Heng was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Not really, I just suddenly remembered the agreement we signed before, and thought that you have dealt with the Lin family's affairs now, and are about to come to me for a divorce, so I asked about the time so that I can pack my things in advance..."

Lin Ze suddenly interrupted him, "No need to clean up in advance."

Si Heng looked at him strangely. What? He wanted him to leave now?

That's not impossible.

He doesn’t have much here anyway, so he can just grab his phone and go!

"Just live here and don't mention this matter again." Lin Ze said and left the room.

Si Heng looked at Lin Ze in astonishment as he left. What did he mean?

What do you mean don't mention it again?

He doesn't want a divorce anymore?

What the hell is he doing?!

Si Heng was in a very bad mood. He closed the piano lid and left.

Returning to the next room, Si Heng lay down on the bed in a "big" shape, staring into the void and began to wander in his mind.

----

After Lin Ze cleaned up the Lin family, Bai Ci temporarily ended his trip with Jiang Ruoyuan and returned to the Imperial Star.

Looking at Lin Ze's words and attitude towards Si Heng, Bai Ci held his forehead with a look of disappointment. With his attitude, there was no way Si Heng would like him!

Can he not do this task?

Bai Ci took out his cell phone and made a video call to Jiang Ruoyuan, who had been struck by lightning twice, and asked him how it felt.

"Why are you asking this out of the blue?" Jiang Ruoyuan was very confused. Why was Bai Ci asking this out of the blue?

Although he was confused, Jiang Ruoyuan still answered Bai Ci seriously, "Our system is very considerate when it is about to attack you. Not only will it remind you to be prepared at the beginning, it will also give you a 10-second countdown..."

"This is really too thoughtful..." Bai Ci said speechlessly.

"When you are struck by lightning, the high voltage current is like countless fine needles running around in your body, leaving you burnt on the outside and tender on the inside," Jiang Ruoyuan described.

"But don't worry. After the punishment is over, your system will use energy to help you restore your appearance to its original state. The pain will just linger for a while."

After listening to this, Bai Ci said: "Then I'd better do my task well."

"Yes, your tasks should not be difficult. Don't give up if you can. In this way, you can not only avoid being struck by lightning, but also complete the task earlier and return to the real world." Jiang Ruoyuan said.

Bai Ci sighed, "My mission this time is not easy..."

"No matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as mine? At least there is still a great hope that yours can be completed, but mine is completely hopeless." Jiang Ruoyuan said.

"You'd better focus on your mission." Jiang Ruoyuan advised, "It's really not a good feeling to be struck by lightning. If there is no other way, I don't want to give up like this."

Jiang Ruoyuan really didn't understand why Bai Ci was not very enthusiastic about this mission, and even had the idea of ​​giving up the mission.

Obviously, although it is a little difficult now, it is not so difficult that the mission cannot be carried out. There is still a little hope, right?

Moreover, he believed that with Bai Ci's ability, even if there was really no hope at all, Bai Ci would create hope for the mission target.

I just don’t know why Bai Ci would give up this idea.

"I..." Bai Ci suddenly paused, and said in an unnatural way, "Let's try our best to complete the task."

After talking to Jiang Ruoyuan for a few more words, Bai Ci hung up the phone.

He recalled the information 965 gave him and wondered what Lin Ze would do next.

Suddenly, Bai Ci remembered a very important point.

Did Lin Ze forget to confess to Si Heng and hide the fact that Xia Youyan drugged Si Heng?

It would be better for Lin Ze to take the initiative to talk about this matter. Otherwise, when the two of them quarrel later and Si Heng brings it up, the effect will be greatly reduced if Lin Ze explains it again.

Although it may not have much effect now, it is better than being considered as quibbling by Si Heng later.

Thinking of this, Bai Ci quickly picked up his phone and called Lin Ze.

No one knew what Lin Ze was doing, and his phone rang for a long time before it was answered.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ze asked straight to the point.

"Nothing much. I just heard that you successfully defeated your second uncle, so I called to congratulate you." Bai Ci said.

"What's there to congratulate? If you called me just to say this, I'm hanging up." Lin Ze said.

"Why are you in such a hurry to hang up?" Bai Ci said, "From your voice, you sound like you're in a bad mood? Who pissed you off?"

"Nothing." Lin Ze kept silent. "Anything else?"

Bai Ci knew that Lin Ze didn't have time to listen to his ramblings, and he didn't bother to argue anymore, so he asked directly, "I'm just curious, have you explained to Si Heng clearly that he was drugged before? Are you really planning to push your second uncle out as a shield?"

Lin Ze suddenly remembered this matter. His mind had been so confused these days that he had completely forgotten about it.

"I have other things to do now, so I'll hang up first." Lin Ze hung up the phone in a hurry and walked towards the piano room.

When I opened the door, I found that Si Heng, who was supposed to be playing the piano inside, was not there.

Lin Ze then remembered that he did not hear Si Heng's piano playing when he was outside the door just now.

He should have returned to his room, right?

Thinking about the time Si Heng had been at the manor, except for going to the piano room and the restaurant to eat, he stayed in his room most of the time and basically never came out. Lin Ze guessed that Si Heng should have returned to his room.

Lin Ze walked out of the piano room, went to the next room, and tapped gently a few times.

Si Heng in the room sat up from the bed and said to the outside, "Come in."

Si Heng felt a little surprised when he saw that the person who pushed open the door was Lin Ze.

Why did he come to see me again?

Talking about divorce? But didn't he just say not to mention this matter again?

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Si Heng asked.

"There is something I want to tell you." Lin Ze said.

"What's the matter?" Si Heng asked doubtfully. With such a serious attitude, was he going to talk about some big thing?

"What happened to you being drugged at the Qin family's wedding banquet?" Lin Ze came to Si Heng's side, pulled over a chair and sat down and said.

Si Heng asked in confusion, "Didn't your uncle say he would come back to the old house in a few days to apologize to me? Why did he bring up this matter again?"

"There is another hidden secret in this matter..." Lin Ze said carefully.

Hearing this, Si Heng guessed in his heart, what other secrets were there? Could it be that Lin Ze was going to confess to him about Xia Youyan?

This shouldn't be the case. He has already pushed Uncle Lin out to take the blame, so why would he give Xia Youyan out?

Could it be that he had a change of heart and felt that it was not good to hide the truth from me, so he planned to come and confess?

Although he was thinking about it, Si Heng remained calm and said, "Is there anything else hidden?"

Lin Ze nodded and said, "Actually...Xia Youyan was also involved in this matter..."

Si Heng looked at Lin Ze in surprise. Did he really confess?

Is Lin Ze sure he is awake now?

"It's just that, in order to deal with my second uncle, I didn't want to alert the enemy. I was also afraid that you would get angry and attack Xia Youyan after you knew the truth, so I kept it a secret for the time being. I planned to tell you after everything was resolved."

"It's just that I was a little busy these two days and forgot about this matter. I just remembered it now." Lin Ze explained, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hide it from you."

Si Heng was stunned for a long time before he slowly digested what Lin Ze said.

So, what Lin Ze meant was that he didn't hide the news because he wanted to protect Xia Youyan, but he didn't tell me the truth because he was afraid that I would ruin his plan?

Now that it's over, are you going to tell me the truth?

Si Heng thought about the credibility of Lin Ze's words and felt that it should be quite high.

After all, there was no need for Lin Ze to lie to himself. If he really wanted to lie to himself, he could have just followed the previous deployment and not told himself the truth, and pushed his second uncle out to take the blame. There was no need to go to such lengths.

Now the question is, what is Lin Ze's purpose in telling me this all of a sudden?
