I failed again

Gu Ruiwen waited outside the door for a long time before the door opened from the inside. The old patriarch Gu came out first and saw Gu Ruiwen guarding the door. He snorted coldly in annoyance.

"Don't worry, the person is still safe and sound." After saying that, he turned around and went downstairs to the garden.

An Jingcheng came out of the study room a step later than old Patriarch Gu. When Gu Ruiwen saw him, he finally let go of his worries.

An Jingcheng found him a little amused and said, "You don't have to worry so much. Uncle Gu just chatted with me about family matters for a while."

Gu Ruiwen was a little suspicious. Did his father seem like the type of person who would chat about family matters with someone he just met?

However, since it was An Jingcheng who said this, Gu Ruiwen felt that An Jingcheng would not lie to him, so he believed what An Jingcheng said.

Gu Ruiwen took An Jingcheng's shoulder and led him downstairs, saying, "We'll have lunch here later, and then we'll go to the group together in the afternoon."

"Okay." An Jingcheng nodded obediently and agreed.

Jiang Ruoyuan is here.

Jiang Ruoyuan said to Bai Ci, "My identity was discovered the first time I met the parents. Fortunately, I was victorious in the end."

Bai Ci nodded and said, "It's normal. After all, Patriarch Gu is not stupid."

Jiang Ruoyuan was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Cicai explained to him, "When we were looking for Gu Ruiwen, Patriarch Gu had negotiated with the original owner's father. The two sides negotiated for a long time before Patriarch Bai agreed to let Gu Ruiwen go back."

Jiang Ruoyuan blinked his eyes, indicating that he didn't understand, and asked, "Then why do An Jingcheng and the others still think that Gu Ruiwen is dead?"

Bai Ci said, "At that time, Patriarch Bai was negotiating with the Gu family while telling his subordinates to take good care of Gu Ruiwen. As a result, his subordinates misunderstood and secretly informed the children who went in to fight with him to kill Gu Ruiwen."

"So, by the time they finished talking, Gu Ruiwen had already died in the fight, and his body was ready to be cleared away."

"In order to get his son back, Patriarch Gu granted every request from the Bai family. As a result, the Bai family sent him this bad news. Patriarch Gu almost overthrew the Bai family. During that period, the Bai family and the Gu family were fighting fiercely."

Uh..., Gu Ruiwen is really miserable.

However, Jiang Ruoyuan was a little confused and asked, "Then Gu Ruiwen died, so how did he come back to life later?"

"The knife was off target, and didn't really injure his heart." Bai Ci said, "He was rescued later."

Jiang Ruoyuan nodded and said, "Then Gu Ruiwen is quite lucky."

Bai Ci glanced at him, thinking that he didn't know the truth of the matter, so he explained, "He stabbed himself with the knife, and it was probably intentional."

Jiang Ruoyuan: ...No wonder.

"However, I see that the Gu family and the Bai family have a pretty good relationship now." There's no sign at all of the fiery rivalry they had before.

Bai Ci glanced at him and said, "During the time when the two heads of the family were in power, the relationship was always bad. Later, the original owner..." killed his father to take the throne. Looking at Jiang Ruoyuan, Bai Ci silently swallowed the last four words.

He continued, "After the original owner became the head of the family, he intended to maintain a good relationship with the Gu family. In addition, the original owner and Gu Ruiwen were good friends when they were studying, so now the relationship between the two families is relatively harmonious, and there is no longer the tit-for-tat relationship as before."

Jiang Ruoyuan keenly caught the three words "good friends" and thought of what Gu Ruiwen had said to An Jingcheng, that he would take An Jingcheng to meet his friends. Doesn't that mean Bai Ci should go too?

Just as he was thinking this, he heard a message alert sound from Bai Ci's phone. After unlocking it, Bai Ci took a look and said to Jiang Ruoyuan, "Gu Ruiwen asked us in the group when we are free. He brought his boyfriend over for us to meet."

Everyone else in the group said they were free tonight and were urging him to express his opinion.

"They plan to hold the meeting tonight. Do you want to go with me?" Bai Ci asked.

Jiang Ruoyuan thought for a moment and said, "Forget it. I won't go to your party."

After all, tonight's party was not a banquet, but just a private gathering of friends, and it was a special gathering to meet Gu Ruiwen's boyfriend. It was hard not to think too much when he followed Bai Ci there at this time.

Although there is nothing between them, people's imagination can't help but make up stories.

Bai Ci nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take you back to Xinggu Villa after get off work this afternoon."

Jiang Ruoyuan nodded and agreed to Bai Ci's arrangement.

So Bai Ci replied in the group that he was free tonight, then locked the screen and prepared to continue working.

Unexpectedly, a phone call suddenly came in. Bai Ci looked at the phone number and frowned slightly.

He picked up the phone and heard a hoarse male voice, "Boss, someone posted a list on the dark web to assassinate Jiang Yuan tonight."

Hearing this, Bai Ci's expression froze. After rescuing Jiang Ruoyuan from Qi Anyan yesterday, he arranged for people to keep an eye on the dark web and various killer organizations, and to inform him of any movement.

Just as he was about to separate from Jiang Ruoyuan to attend Gu Ruiwen's party tonight, they placed an order on the dark web.

"Transfer all the people who can be transferred here now." Bai Ci said and hung up the phone.

He told Jiang Ruoyuan, who was playing with his phone on the sofa, about the matter.

Now, there are two choices.

Either leave Jiang Ruoyuan alone to face the killers, or do his best to send people to protect him.

Or, Jiang Ruoyuan could go to the party with him. Although they would meet An Jingcheng, An Jingcheng would not take action as Gu Ruiwen was around.

Moreover, there are Gu family bodyguards to deal with the killers.

Jiang Ruoyuan also thought of this. He said to Bai Ci with a sad face, "Brother, take me with you! I promise to be good and not make any trouble for you. I will just sit quietly in the corner and be mute."

Bai Ci found it a little funny to hear him say that, but he still agreed.

"Hasn't the system sent by the CP dismantling team arrived yet?" Bai Ci suddenly asked.

Jiang Ruoyuan shook his head and said helplessly, "I've asked 996, but the approval has been stuck with the Lord God, and the Lord God has no time to approve these things recently, so we can only continue to wait."

Bai Ci sighed and said, "At this point, you should hurry up and complete the task. Once the task is completed, you can leave directly without having to worry so much."

At this time, Xie Zhixuan and Qi Anyan did not have much affection for each other, and Qi Anyan was injured recently and was recuperating by Xie Zhixuan's side. If Xie Zhi knew Qi Anyan's identity at this time, Qi Anyan would definitely not be able to escape.

Even if he managed to escape, the Qi family was still there. As long as Xie Zhixuan used the Qi family to threaten Qi Anyan, Qi Anyan would definitely not sit idly by.

Then no matter who kills whom next, Ruoyuan’s mission will be completed and he can leave this mission world.

Hearing Bai Ci say this, Jiang Ruoyuan was about to cry, "I want to, too, but how can I get close to Xie Zhixuan and make him believe that what I said about Qi Anyan being An Yang is true?"

It’s very difficult!

Bai Ci rubbed his eyebrows. This was indeed a big problem.

Bai Ci lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "How about I help you tell Xie Zhixuan?"

Even if Xie Zhixuan thought what I said was absurd, he would not disbelieve it. He would definitely send someone to verify it. Then I could secretly give him the evidence, wouldn't that be fine?

Jiang Ruoyuan slapped his head. Why didn’t he think of doing this?

What a weird person like me says to Xie Zhixuan is not very credible, but Bai Ci is different!

Jiang Ruoyuan nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, absolutely. Bai Ci, you are worthy of being the one who can even think of this."

Bai Ci smiled and said, "Then I will organize the evidence and help you reveal Qi Anyan's identity to Xie Zhixuan in the next two days."

Qi Anyan, who was fiddling with Xie Zhixuan's cell phone in the hospital, suddenly sneezed, and the noise attracted Xie Zhixuan over.

Xie Zhixuan touched his forehead and asked with concern, "Why are you sneezing suddenly? Did you catch a cold last night?"

Qi Anyan shook his head and said casually, "My nose was a little itchy just now."

For some reason, he felt a chill on his back, as if someone was secretly plotting against him.

"It's good that you don't have a cold." Xie Zhixuan was relieved. "Would you like some water?"

Qi Anyan nodded, and Xie Zhixuan poured him a glass of water. When he lowered his head, he saw Qi Anyan's mobile phone screen. He was silent as he looked at the novel "The Son-in-Law" on the screen.

Just now, Qi Anyan said that his phone and tablet were out of battery and needed to be charged, so he asked me to borrow his phone. I thought he was in trouble, so I lent him my phone without thinking. I didn't expect...

After a long while, Xie Zhixuan finally said, "You lent me your phone just to watch this?"

Qi Anyan looked up at him expressionlessly and said, "What's wrong? Do you have any objections?"

"...No, as long as you are happy." Xie Zhixuan didn't know what to say for a moment.

I was a little confused. Why would An Yan like to watch this?

After Qi Anyan finished drinking the water, he urged him to go to work. Xie Zhixuan went back with a dazed mind.

As soon as Xie Zhixuan left, Qi Anyan quickly switched the interface of his mobile phone and continued to do his own things.

After everything was done, Qi Anyan said to Xie Zhixuan, "My phone is fully charged, I'll give yours back to you."

Xie Zhixuan came over and took his phone, then asked, "Are you not going to continue watching?"

Qi Anyan glanced at him and said, "I'll continue watching on my own phone."

Xie Zhixuan was completely speechless and went back to work.

Qi Anyan picked up his phone and looked at the message sent by An Jingcheng, "I went to the dark web to place orders with some assassin organizations, and quite a few people accepted the orders."

"Tonight, he can either separate from Bai Ci and face those killers alone, or come to the party with Bai Ci and meet me."

It was followed by a death smile emoji.

"Be careful, don't let Gu Ruiwen find out." Qi Anyan warned.

The other party sent him a don't worry emoticon.
