I failed again

Qi Anyan looked at An Jingcheng who was being comforted by Gu Ruiwen in his arms not far away, and replied calmly, "I've been outside for a long time, so I'm more vigilant."

Hearing this, Qi Yuchen thought of the time when Qi Anyan got lost as a child, and felt distressed and guilty. If he had not asked Anyan to wait for him there, but had taken him to buy that thing, Anyan would not have been taken away by the human traffickers, and would not have suffered so much outside.

Qi Anyan withdrew his gaze from An Jingcheng, and once again sighed in his heart that it was a pity that An Jingcheng didn't go into the entertainment industry with his acting skills.

When he turned around, he met his brother's painful, self-blaming and distressed eyes. He was silent for a moment, wondering if he had said anything just now?

Qi Anyan quickly recalled what he had just said. It was unintentional and did not mean anything, but it seemed that Qi Yuchen must have been thinking of something else.

He sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, don't think too much. What happened back then was not your fault. After all, no one expected that I would be knocked unconscious and taken away by human traffickers in just a few seconds."

"Besides, aren't I back safe and sound now? You don't have to keep blaming yourself like this."

Qi Yuchen looked at him and retorted, "Of course not. If I had brought you with me and kept a close eye on you, or waited for the nanny to come back before buying it for you, none of this would have happened later."

Qi Anyan was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"And, ..." Qi Yuchen wanted to say something, but the sudden ringing of his cell phone interrupted him.

Qi Yuchen took out his cell phone and saw that it was his father calling. He must have heard about the explosion at Shimao Hotel tonight and called to ask about it.

Qi Yuchen quickly answered the call, and soon his father's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yuchen, I heard about the explosion at Shimao Hotel tonight. Are you and An Yan okay?"

"Dad, don't worry, An Yan and I are fine." Qi Yuchen said, "The explosion was some distance away from us, and we were not affected."

Hearing this, Father Qi felt relieved. "It's good that everything is fine. Come back quickly and don't stay outside. Got it?"

Qi Yuchen responded, "I know, Dad, don't worry, An Yan and I will go back soon."

Qi Anyan frowned, but looking at Qi Yuchen's expression, recalling his self-blaming expression just now, and thinking of his old father who was anxiously waiting at home, he sighed in his heart.

Forget it, let’s go home and not let my father and the others worry. There is no rush to solve Xie Zhixuan’s problem, I can create an opportunity later.

Moreover, although Xie Zhixuan was injured, he still has many bodyguards around him, so it is not so easy to deal with them. Let's stop here tonight.

Thinking of this, Qi Anyan got on the car home with Qi Yuchen. On the way back, Qi Anyan received a message from Jiang Ruoyuan asking him whether he wanted to continue with the mission tonight.

Qi Anyan thought about it and typed back, "No, I have something going on at home, so I'll stop now."

"However, if you are free, you can continue the mission. I will send you Xie Zhixuan's return route."

After Qi Anyan sent the route map to Jiang Ruoyuan, he played with his mobile phone, waiting for Jiang Ruoyuan's reply.

If it was the old Jiang Yuan, he would have led his men to ambush on the road, but now this...

He will probably find an excuse to refuse. Qi Anyan thought expressionlessly. As for what the excuse was, he knew without thinking that he would use Bai Ci as an excuse.

As expected, a message came from the other side, "Boss Bai said he has other tasks for me, so I won't go."

Qi Anyan smiled sarcastically, did not reply to Jiang Ruoyuan's message, and turned off the screen of his phone.

Qi Yuchen, who was sitting next to him, looked at Qi Anyan's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Qi Anyan leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and said calmly, "No, I'll sleep for a while. Call me when you get home."

Qi Yuchen saw that Qi Anyan didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he replied, "Okay, go to sleep. I'll call you when we get home."

Jiang Ruoyuan is here.

After replying to Qi Anyan's message, Jiang Ruoyuan waited for a while. Seeing that there was no message from the other side, he put away the phone.

Bai Ci at the side asked, "What's wrong? Qi Anyan doesn't want to continue the mission?"

Jiang Ruoyuan looked up in surprise and asked, "How did you know? Did you peek at my reply?" The latter sentence was said as a joke. He knew that given Bai Ci's character, he would not do such a thing as peek at other people's reply.

Bai Ci explained with a smile, "Isn't this something that anyone with a brain can guess? If Qi Anyan wanted to continue the mission, he would have found a reason to separate from Qi Yuchen at the entrance of Shimao Hotel just now, instead of getting in the car together and going home."

Jiang Ruoyuan muttered, "Can't we just take the bus and get off halfway?"

Bai Ci smiled and said, "It would be better to separate from the beginning to save trouble."

Jiang Ruoyuan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Then, he heard Bai Ci ask, "What about you? What's wrong? You look depressed."

Jiang Ruoyuan said disappointedly, "Don't mention it. I'm so conflicted now. On the one hand, I hope Qi Anyan can continue the mission, so that I can complete the task of breaking up the couple. But on the other hand, I don't want Xie Zhixuan to die. After all, he is a living person..."

“But then I think of the many lives Xie Zhixuan has taken. Oh, Qi Anyan has taken quite a few too…” Jiang Ruoyuan closed his eyes in melancholy, “Ahhhh, this mission is almost driving me crazy!”

Jiang Ruoyuan even had the urge to go directly to the police station to report everyone and get them all killed together.

Bai Ci looked at Jiang Ruoyuan, who was in a state of confusion, and said slowly, "Don't think too much. Just think of it as a fictional world. Everything is a predetermined plot. You are only here to complete a mission. When the mission is completed, you will leave. Then, any changes in this world or the plot of the novel will have nothing to do with you."

Jiang Ruoyuan glanced at Bai Ci silently and said in a muffled voice, "Before today, I thought I could do it, but..."

Having personally experienced the explosion and watching several bodyguards who were still full of energy just a few minutes ago suddenly die, he still couldn't remain indifferent.

Bai Ci interrupted him and said, "This is the setting of this world. Try to accept it. If you really can't accept it, then..." After a pause, Bai Ci continued, "Just give up the mission and leave."

Bai Ci knew that Jiang Ruoyuan had been protected too well and had little exposure to the dark side of this world. When he suddenly came to this mission world, he might have been able to deceive himself and cover it up before, but the explosion tonight made it impossible for Jiang Ruoyuan to continue deceiving himself.

But this is something Jiang Ruoyuan must face up to. After all, according to the information he got from the system, although there are only more than 30,000 systems, there are tens of thousands of mission worlds.

Moreover, some worlds are not formed autonomously, but are created by novelists from other worlds, and autonomously form a world with its own rules and order.

It is impossible for every one of these worlds to be the same as the first one. There are always some worlds where the rules of right and wrong are reversed. This world is just child's play.

Jiang Ruoyuan failed in his first mission. Even if, in the best case scenario, his mission was successful, he would still have to go through four more mission worlds. Who could guarantee that the remaining four mission worlds would be as harmless as the first mission world?

If he can't accept this, then if he encounters a similar mission world in the future, he will have no choice but to give up the mission.

Jiang Ruoyuan remained silent. After suffering such a great shock tonight, he felt that he needed to think carefully.

Bai Ci looked at him in silence and didn't say anything else.

Qi family.

The car slowly drove into the yard, Qi Yuchen turned around and woke up Qi Anyan, "An Yan, wake up, we're home."

Qi Anyan opened his eyes, and they were clear and bright. How could he look like he had just woken up?

Qi Yuchen opened the car door and got out, and Qi Anyan also followed Qi Yuchen out of the car.

As soon as they entered the hall, they saw Mr. and Mrs. Qi, who looked worried, sitting in the living room waiting.

Seeing Qi Yuchen and his companion walking in, Qi's mother and father stood up at once, walked quickly to Qi Yuchen and his companion, looked them over carefully, and only put down their worries after making sure that they were not injured.

"It's good that everything is fine, it's good that everything is fine..." Qi's mother murmured, patting her chest. Although Qi Yuchen had already reported that he was safe on the phone, she still couldn't feel at ease until she saw the two children return home safely with her own eyes.

Father Qi also breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Qi Yuchen would only report good news and not bad news, and would hide his injury from them. Now it seems that the two of them are really not injured.

Looking at the anxious and worried expressions of Qi's father and mother, Qi Anyan lowered his eyes. Fortunately, he went home, otherwise, he didn't know how worried they would be.

Qi Anyan and Qi Yuchen each helped Qi's mother and father back to sit on the sofa. Qi Yuchen smiled and said, "Of course it's okay. How could I lie to you?"

"However, it's all thanks to An Yan. If he hadn't reacted quickly and pulled me down at the first moment of the explosion, we would have been affected."

Hearing this, Qi Anyan turned his head away feeling somewhat guilty. He was the one who caused the explosion, so how could he not react quickly?

After hearing this, Qi's mother smiled and patted Qi Anyan's hand, saying, "An Yan has been smart since he was a child."

Qi Anyan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and stood up and said, "Mom, I'm a little tired, so I'll go upstairs to rest first."

Hearing Qi Anyan say that he was tired, Qi's mother quickly let go and said, "Okay, okay, go upstairs and have a rest. By the way, are you hungry? I'll ask Aunt Wang to make some food for you."

Qi Anyan thanked him, "Okay, thank you, Mom."

After saying that, he went upstairs.
