please don't believe me

An L-brand car was parked at the gate of the villa in the independent courtyard.

It was Stuttgart who got out of the car.After a month of "business trip", he finally returned to his home.The person who got off from the co-pilot was his personal assistant—not James—who was ordinary-looking, of medium height, but capable of doing things well.The assistant greeted the companions who came out, and took out Stuttgart's luggage from the trunk, but Stuttgart himself entered the room alone.

Generally speaking, this villa is not particularly big, but it is enough for ten people.The domestic helper of the Weiss family - a relative of a member anyway - greeted him and took Stuttgart's coat off.

Stuttgart pinned up his cuffs and asked, "Where is Ivan, the studio?"

"Yes." The old woman shook Stuttgart's coat and checked her pockets for anything missing. "Ivan is in the studio. He brought his friends back to visit."

"Friend?" Stuttgart frowned slightly, "Who?"

The woman was stunned: "It seems to be...Dan Bailey?"

The trio carrying luggage also entered the room, and upon hearing Stuttgart and the old woman's questioning, one of them said, "It's the marketing director of 'Sirriga Pharmaceuticals'. Ivan said he asked your opinion."

"Yeah." Stuttgart didn't deny it, he twisted the tie, and then pulled it off with a hook of his fingers, "When they are over, please ask Mr. Bailey to go to my study..."

"Are you talking about me?"

A voice suddenly came from upstairs, and everyone followed the sound, only to see a man in a black shirt standing by the corridor on the second floor.Today, he looks a little less elite, and has regained some of his previous suaveness.He rested his elbows on the railing and looked at the people downstairs with a slight smile.

"Mr. Bailey..." Stuttgart pronounced his name, but it didn't sound like a greeting, and his tone carried some deep affection.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Weiss." Dai Bowen smiled, "Sorry, I'm here to disturb you."

"Welcome." After saying these words, Stuttgart's expression remained indifferent, and he looked up at Dai Bowen, "Are you done?"

"Just finished reading Mr. Weiss's work..." Dai Bowen looked towards the studio at the end of the corridor, then turned back and said, "He should be packing up the paintings he just dug out."

What Stuttgart answered was actually an order: "Then you come to my study."

Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows and had no choice but to use a commercial response: "... At your service, Mr. Weiss."

When Ivan came out of the studio and went downstairs, only the old housekeeper was busy in the kitchen.

He glanced at it, then stood at the kitchen door and asked, "Stuttgart is back?"

The old woman replied, "Yes, Mr. Weiss has just arrived home."

Ivan asked again: "Where is my friend?"

The old woman replied: "Mr. Bailey was invited to talk in Mr. Weiss's study."

Are they familiar?Ivan squinted his eyes, put his pockets in his head and turned to look in the direction of the study.

Weiss' house, the master's study.

Stuttgart smoked, took a breath, and threw the lighter on the table.With the little smoke and the view of this study room, there is quite a bit of the "Mafia" atmosphere in the movie.

...Come on, let's play a mandolin piece!

"why are you laughing?"

Dai Bowen was still recalling the scene of "The Godfather", when he was interrupted by Stuttgart's cold tone, he suddenly came back to his senses: "It's nothing."

Stuttgart didn't ask any further questions, but just flicked the cigarette: "How is Ivan's situation?"

"As I often report to you, it's getting better." Dai Bowen replied, "But he still can't keep up with the average speed of other volunteers."

Stuttgart nodded: "Is there a way?"

Dai Bowen touched his chin: "Perhaps what is missing is an opportunity..."

"Opportunity?"

"...I don't have a specific idea yet, so don't worry about it." Dai Bowen smiled, "By the way, I don't know how much Mr. Weiss wants him to heal?"

Stuttgart was taken aback for a moment, but he couldn't seem to find a particularly suitable answer, so he just replied casually: "It doesn't affect daily life."

With such a broad answer, I still expect to get the target from this guy.Dai Bowen thought about the ambiguous "cure" in the mission goal, and couldn't help but feel a little headache, and the "recurrence probability is less than 20%" is even more impossible to refer to.

In this way... Perhaps the side mission is a reference standard?

Or, when Ivan can get into the elevator, give him a power cord?

While thinking in his heart, Dai Bowen nodded casually.

Stuttgart deviated from the topic: "I asked you to help me ask earlier, what did you find out about Ivan's attitude towards the family and me?"

"I thought I had already answered this question, Mr. Weiss?" Dai Bowen tilted his head, "Maybe because I am not familiar enough with Ivan, anyway, I think his attitude is nothing special."

Stuttgart replied: "Is his affection for the Weiss family positive or negative?"

Although both of us probably know each other's details, but after all, the window paper has not been pierced, so can we stop asking such questions so brazenly?Dai Bowen was quite helpless in his heart, and he had to pretend to be confused: "I don't quite understand what you mean, Mr. Weiss?"

Stuttgart pressed his cigarette, reached out to open the laptop on the table, slid his fingers on the control panel, and said in his mouth: "Last time you picked out the person with problems from the eight videos, and tried to contact Ivan privately. Intercept, but it cannot be confirmed [-]% that Ivan has not been in contact with them or instigated by them..."

Hey, why are you talking more and more vigorously?Dai Bowen froze, almost wanting to plug his ears.

Stuttgart suddenly turned the computer around, intending to let Dai Bowen see the content on the screen.Dai Bowen predicted that it was another secret similar to the Weiss family, and really wanted to close his eyes and not read it, but of course it was impossible.

Surprisingly, it wasn't any photo, video or written material.

It was the picture function interface that comes with the system. There was a crookedly drawn heart shape on it, and there was a capital letter "D" in the middle of the heart.

Dai Bowen couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw this pattern.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a confession scene.

This subtle symbol is actually a symbol agreed in advance between Dai Bowen and the man. Seeing this picture can confirm the identity of the other party's "host".Of course, this kind of mischievous symbol will not be the style of that "dominant president", but Dai Bowen made it on purpose to disgust him.

However, this guy actually accepted this setting completely, and even took the initiative to draw first. Dai Bowen was almost choked by him.

Dai Bowen was stunned for a while, then slowly wiped his face, and sighed: "I'm not free labor..."

"I can fully cooperate with the task of treating Ivan." Stuttgart... No, Shen Xiuyuan still had that expressionless face, he turned back to his notebook and turned off the drawing software, "But he was involved in my task, You can observe his movements more by the way."

Dai Bowen thought for a while: "What do you... want to do with the Weiss family?"

Shen Xiuyuan replied indifferently: "It's not very good, it's just to consolidate Stuttgart's current position."

Dai Bowen laughed: "In my impression, you've been 'sniped' all the time..."

Shen Xiuyuan's gaze shifted from the computer screen to Dai Bowen: "You occupied it three times."

"So?" Dai Bowen shrugged indifferently, "I just achieved my mission goal, President Shen, and you too."

Shen Xiuyuan sneered: "Of course. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to live under my nose for so long."

"Listen to this appalling speech." Dai Bowen smiled, "Don't say that you are tolerant of other 'hosts', the scene of the Pope's trial of 'heresy' is vivid in my memory... "

The majestic pope used all his conspiracy and conspiracy on a so-called "favored person" and paved the way to wipe out all other "favored persons".Not to mention the silly Baitian back then, Dai Bowen might not be able to get out of it unscathed.

Of course, the reason why the host was targeted was also due to his own showing off.

Shen Xiuyuan said indifferently: "But I didn't judge you."

"Who are you lying to?" Dai Bowen raised his eyebrows, "Is the skill of that 'God's Favored' very similar to mine? Can you guarantee that you didn't mean to target me?"

Shen Xiuyuan actually replied: "It's just a coincidence."

Dai Bowen was speechless.

Shen Xiuyuan said again: "And in the end, you judged me."

You bit the hook yourself, blame me for lifting the pole?Dai Bowen held back, but he couldn't hold back, and spread his hands together: "So?"

He had wanted to do this to this difficult person for a long time, and today he finally caught up with the right atmosphere.

Shen Xiuyuan didn't respond.He has lived with this guy in four worlds, and he has watched a lot of other programs, so he understands that he cannot be easily confronted.After operating the computer with his slender fingers, he turned the screen around again: "So, you are the one to judge who this guy is."

When Dai Bowen saw it, it was the same interrogation scene as in the previous eight videos. The person being interrogated was the person he had previously reported as "lying".Dai Bowen didn't click on the video, just leaned on the back of the chair and slackened his work passively: "I really don't want to get involved in your struggle mission, can't you let me complete the mission quietly?"

To be honest, although Dai Bowen's task is difficult, he is at least a "professional counterpart".Thinking about Shen Xiuyuan's tasks, they are all defensive types who need to see all directions and listen to all directions. They must be highly concentrated and careful every day, and it seems that it is not something ordinary people can do.

No matter how smart Dai Bowen is, he can drop ten times at once, and Director Bandele can't beat the "underworld".The "God's Favored One" who was judged in the last world is a lesson from the past.

Shen Xiuyuan is probably a little used to it, and he is quite comfortable with Dai Bowen's showing of weakness, but he will not let the other party go easily: "Since I asked you to help, I will guarantee your safety."

This is a bit familiar, this guy said it in the previous world!

...The result was that he was asked to look at the corpses all over the place.

"No, I still don't want to disturb this muddy water." Dai Bowen replied, "I fully believe that you can handle this matter yourself."

Shen Xiuyuan squinted his eyes at him, using Stuttgart's face to make this expression is really oppressive: "I invested a lot of money in your plan, shouldn't you 'reciprocate'?"

Outright threats.Dai Bowen twitched the corner of his mouth: "...that's not your money."

"Oh, maybe without the cooperation of 'Stuttgart', you can complete the task yourself?"

Dai Bowen didn't quite understand why the other party was persistent, so he said helplessly, "Probably not, but if I help you, there may be problems."

Shen Xiuyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized that Dai Bowen was going to use his "professional language skills".

As he expected, Dai Bowen continued: "I also probably guessed that Ivan is not active in treating claustrophobia because of you...or it is related to your mission? Claustrophobia is his most obvious 'flaw' , or possibly the 'talisman' he used to survive in the Whis family.

"Honestly speaking, he may not be able to fully believe it. You want him to be cured. You introduced 'Siriga Pharmaceutical' to him. Of course, it is difficult for him to enter the state I need. This is why his process is more advanced than other volunteers. Both are slow.

"Compared with Stuttgart, he is of course not strong, but he is equally sensitive and suspicious. His previous treatment has made him rich in experience. Even I have to contact him step by step after careful planning to get to where I am today.

"I approached him in this way to give him a hint of 'I am biased towards him, want him to get better, and believe that he can get better', and create a safe psychological environment for him that 'he can get better'. Obviously, you It is the biggest 'destructive factor' of this environment.

"If he begins to doubt our relationship and thus lowers his trust in me, it is foreseeable that the role of 'Romantin' will also become weaker and weaker.

"Having said so much, in fact, I just want to express one point——

"The cooperation between 'Stuttgart' and 'Bandele' should be alienated, not close."

——Inexplicable little theater——

Dai Bowen: ...That's not your money!

Shen Xiuyuan: I also have money, I can give you commercial sponsorship.

Dai Bowen: People who want to sponsor me can line up the entire Champs Elysees, OK?
