Rescuing the Villainous Boss with a Little Dirty Master

Chapter 186 Something's Wrong with This Villain (26)

Without Wei Shenglan needing to interpret it himself, Jiang Tuo provided the answer in the next second.

"If I may, I'd like to ask Xiaoheng..."

Jiang Tuo didn't say what he was going to say next. He raised his glass, tilted his head back, and drank the remaining half glass of wine in one gulp. The slightly high alcohol content made his eyes redden slightly.

"He won't agree."

Wei Shenglan was inexplicably certain that the real world was more likely to keep Jiang Heng there than the game, and if he were to be even more shameless, it might be a world where he was present.

Jiang Tuo, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, suddenly raised his voice, "Don't act like you know him so well, I'm his brother!" After saying that, he paused, a hint of frustration on his face, "Actually, I don't know him well now either. After he became an adult, he didn't want to tell me anything."

Wei Shenglan raised an eyebrow. Although showing a sense of superiority at this moment seemed slightly inappropriate, he believed he understood Jiang Heng better than Jiang Tuo did. At least, Jiang Tuo certainly hadn't seen Jiang Heng dressed as a woman.

Suddenly, Wei Shenglan's expression turned serious. He put down his wine glass and looked directly into Jiang Tuo's eyes.

"Did you mention your initial idea to anyone else? Or was it overheard by anyone?"

"What happened?"

Jiang Tuo had known Wei Shenglan for many years, and he knew that the other party would not emphasize something for no reason.

"Perhaps someone is already trying to realize our vision."

Wei Shenglan subconsciously concealed Jiang Heng's involvement in the game, including the fact that he had become acquainted with her. When it came to Jiang Heng, he didn't trust anyone except himself, not even his close friend, Jiang Heng's own brother.

At the same time, Jiang Heng was "forced" to wake up amidst Cheng Qian's nagging.

Originally, he planned to stay in bed for a couple more days to lure out the demons and monsters behind it all, but unexpectedly, Cheng Qian ran into them himself.

This was the first time Jiang Heng had met Cheng Qian since entering this world. Like Xu Ze, Cheng Qian was also the original owner's childhood friend. However, compared to Xu Ze, Cheng Qian was the "other people's child" of their generation—an only child, exceptionally capable, and highly anticipated.

As a result, since joining the family company, he has spent less and less time with Jiang Heng and Xu Ze.

At least in Xu Ze's eyes, this was the reason why the other party had to reduce their contact with them.

Seeing Jiang Heng's eyelashes begin to tremble slightly, Cheng Qian paused, lowered his head slightly, stared at Jiang Heng's still closed eyes, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

The next second, Jiang Heng opened her eyes and happened to meet Cheng Qian's complicated gaze.

"Xiao Heng, you're awake! Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Jiang Heng was amazed by his reaction, but she didn't show it on her face.

He shook his head gently and gave Cheng Qian a weak smile. "I'm fine. I'm used to it now."

Jiang Heng's gaze swept around the ward, her tone tinged with regret, "I thought I heard my brother's voice, but it was just a dream..."

Cheng Qian's eyes flickered slightly. He held Jiang Heng's wrist through the blanket and gently comforted her, "It's not a dream, Brother Jiang Tuo is really back." Jiang Heng's eyes widened slightly in surprise. She turned to look at the phone placed to the side and reached for it.

Cheng Qian chuckled and picked up the phone, handing it to him. "He still cares about you. As soon as he heard you fainted, he immediately dropped everything and rushed back. I always said that between work and you, you will always be his top priority."

Jiang Heng lowered her eyes and scrolled through her phone to find Jiang Tuo's contact information. Her long eyelashes concealed the speechlessness in her eyes as she complained, "It's only because I fell ill that he was able to condescend to return to China. Sometimes I really want to keep pretending to be sick so that he can stay."

Cheng Qian raised her hand and gently patted his arm, her eyes full of disapproval: "Pretending to be sick will only make the people who care about you feel bad."

"I just want him to spend more time with me, even if it's just playing games together."

Just as Cheng Qian was about to reply, Jiang Tuo's call went through.

886 kept an eye on Cheng Qian's expression in the consciousness space for Jiang Heng. His host had already handed the ladder to the other party's feet. If Cheng Qian really had tampered with his game pod, this person should also climb up.

Jiang Heng and Jiang Tuo hung up the phone after exchanging only a few words, but from the faint sounds coming through the receiver, Cheng Qian knew that Jiang Tuo would be coming over soon.

"Then I'll go find Uncle Liu to prepare some food for you." Cheng Qian stood up, and as he was about to turn around, he said earnestly, "Xiao Heng, as long as you ask, Brother Jiang Tuo will grant your request."

After Cheng Qian left the ward, Jiang Heng put her hands behind her head, looked at the closed door, and twitched the corners of her mouth.

"886, this guy is not easy to fool."

To be honest, he truly is a prodigy. Jiang Heng even suspected that Cheng Qian's words when he was "unconscious" were deliberate. But it's not a big deal, so they'll just try a different approach.

Not long after, Jiang Tuo and Wei Shenglan appeared in the ward together.

Although Jiang Tuo had changed his clothes, a faint smell of alcohol still lingered. Jiang Heng frowned subconsciously, and the next second, Wei Shenglan pulled him away slightly.

Jiang Tuo: "???"

Wei Shenglan glanced at him, mouthed "alcoholic," and ignored the other's expression before turning to look at Jiang Heng.

"Hello, I'm Wei Shenglan, your brother's good friend. We were having dinner together earlier, and when I heard you woke up, I came to see you."

With just a few words, Jiang Heng understood the other party's intentions. Wei Shenglan didn't plan to tell Jiang Tuo about their relationship. Jiang Heng was happy to cooperate.

"Hello, Brother Wei."

Wei Shenglan bent down and ruffled his hair, smiling gently: "Good boy."

Jiang Tuo: "?!"

Jiang Tuo pushed Wei Shenglan aside, blocking their view, but he still didn't get too close, lest his smell of alcohol bother Jiang Heng.

"Xiao Heng, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"Brother, I'm fine now. I want to go home."

"Xiao Heng, you don't mean to go back to playing games, do you?"

At that moment, Cheng Qian's voice rang out from behind them.

Jiang Tuo nodded helplessly at his head, "There's no rush to play games."

“Brother Jiang Tuo, Xiao Heng wants you to spend time with him while you’re back in China.” Cheng Qian put down the plate she was holding and complained to Jiang Tuo in a low voice, “I told you to spend more time with Xiao Heng. Look, he’s still sick and you’re making the most of every minute.”

Jiang Heng and 886 both exclaimed "Wow!" in his mind at the same time. This guy really knows how to have fun.

Uncle Liu went to the other side, raised Jiang Heng's hospital bed, and put a table on it to make it easier for him to eat.

"Oh? What game is Xiaoheng playing?"

Wei Shenglan interjected at the opportune moment.

Jiang Tuo rolled his eyes at him. "That holographic game from your company. Xiao Heng is a veteran player."

"So, little Heng is a big fan of Shengfeng. Are you interested in the new dungeon that hasn't been released yet?" After saying that, Wei Shenglan patted Jiang Tuo on the shoulder. "Want to join us?"

Standing to the side, Cheng Qian moved closer to Jiang Heng, her voice tinged with a smile, "Invite me too? It's been so long since we played games together."

Jiang Heng turned her head to look at Wei Shenglan, smiling sweetly, "Okay."

Jiang Tuo also glanced at Wei Shenglan, his eyes filled with unreadable emotions. It wasn't until Jiang Heng tugged at his sleeve that he turned back and nodded to her, "Okay, brother will stay with you."
