hope for redemption

All kinds of events in the past came like wildfires in Australia, but there was no warning. His acquaintance with Yang Jue, their acquaintance, and the final vengeful confession all flashed in front of his eyes frame by frame.

Even Jiang Xi himself didn't expect these scenes to pop up automatically after so many years. He always thought that he had forgotten them long ago, but he never thought that they were just buried in an invisible memory storage cabinet.

Jiang Xi never thought that he and Yang Jue would have the chance to meet again. After all, the incident a year ago basically sentenced Yang Jue to death, and he would never have any chance to stay in Noah's Ark again.

However, the facts seem to be quite different from his expectations.

Just letting the astonished expression stay on his face for a few seconds, Jiang Xi immediately returned to his original indifferent and aloof look, looking at the two people who walked in without a trace of emotion, just like looking at the air.

"Minister, deputy department." The two said hello at the same time after entering.

An Sheng just nodded politely to their greetings, pointed to the tall woman and said, "This is Ke Diana, she will take Niko's place in the future." After speaking, she turned her head to Niko and said: "Later, when Jiaojiao is in class, you will take care of the handover."

Niko nodded: "Don't worry."

After the formal introduction, Diana smiled at them, walked over and stood behind An Sheng.Now, only Yang Jue was left in front of them.

Jiang Xi just sat there quietly, slowly tasting the iced coffee in his hand, and engaged in a tug-of-war with An Sheng with a calm appearance.

Those who couldn't bear it were the first to speak, and the first to lose.

Jiang Xi has a lot of time to spend with An Sheng, but whether An Sheng has time to spend with him is another question, after all, people are getting money by the second anyway.

Everyone was silent like this, each occupying one side, and even their breathing began to slow down involuntarily, as if they were about to fall asleep.

The sun outside the window is rising higher and higher, and the shadow cast indoors is getting shorter and shorter, jumping from the sofa seat to the floor in front of the French window, falling profusely on the ground like a shallow water accumulated on the ground, slightly lifted The ripples of the sky reflect a piece of shiny broken gold.

After Jiang Xi sipped the iced coffee in his hand, An Sheng finally couldn't help it, and said with a light smile, "I forgot that you have bad legs and can't stand for a long time, Anna, move him a chair."

Diana, who was standing behind An Sheng, responded, and skillfully found a folding chair from the hidden closet and put it behind Yang Jue.

Seeing her skillful movements, Jiang Xi knew in his heart that this person has definitely been with An Sheng for a long time.It seems that An Sheng still has many things to hide.

"Thank you, Minister." Yang Jue thanked him with a smile, and limped back a few steps to sit on the chair.

Seeing Yang Jue's movements, Jiang Xi felt suspicious, something was wrong with his legs.Without giving Jiang Xi any time to think, An Sheng answered his doubts.

"Are you still used to the new prosthesis?" An Sheng asked with concern.

Yang Jue smiled, and lifted his trouser legs to reveal the prosthetic calf: "It's much better than the previous one. It's breathable, soft and durable. It's just that it's new and I haven't gotten used to it yet, so I'm a little limping when I walk."

"Well, that's good," An Sheng nodded understandingly, shaking the red wine glass and looking at Jiang Xi, with more inquiring eyes, "Jiaojiao?"

Jiang Xi understood what she meant, but he didn't intend to go along with her. He put the coffee cup in his hand on the tea table, twirled the knuckle ring on his middle finger and asked, "Is there anything else? Going to class."

Even if Jiang Xi hasn't got the class schedule and work schedule yet, he knows that this time can only be for classes, because all the tutors only have time to teach them during this time.

Jiang Xi's displeasure made An Sheng a little annoyed, she raised her head and took a sip of red wine, then glanced at Yang Jue.

Yang Jue immediately said comprehendingly, "Deputy Department, long time no see."

Jiang Xi didn't know what they were paying attention to, so he could only come to cover up the water and earth, and met his gaze without fear and returned a kind word coldly.

He and Yang Jue have made it clear a long time ago, there is no need to make enemies jealous when they meet each other.Even if it is not clear, Jiang Xi can't do or say anything in front of others, after all, he can't show that he cares about anything, whether he hates or loves it, because if he doesn't care, he has no weakness.

"I am very happy for your return, and at the same time, it also dilutes some of the guilt in my heart," Yang Jue said, "I apologize to you for my unscrupulous words back then, and I also apologize to the minister. One moment of speech can have such serious consequences and make your relationship with the minister so bad."

"Although the minister has punished me, the guilt in my heart still cannot dissipate. Now that you are back, I still want to solemnly plead guilty to you."

Speaking of this, Yang Jue stood up from the chair, knelt down straight in the direction of Jiang Xi, with a sincere look on his face: "Please don't take my words at that time to heart, Don't let this ruin your relationship with the minister."

Jiang Xi knew what Yang Jue meant when he said indiscriminate words, and he also understood what An Sheng's purpose for arranging this play today, he just found it both annoying and funny.

He is getting more and more confused about An Sheng now, how could someone who was so smart before now act like Zhou Ping, a whimsy without IQ, she really thought it was Yang Jue who came over to apologize, Jiang Can Xi believe she didn't do those things.

In the past, it was because he was still a junior and because he was chilled by what Zhou Ping and Jiang Tiancheng did at that time, so he didn't think much about it.Later, when he grew up, he experienced so many ups and downs in Noah's Ark, and he was so sophisticated in the world. A reminder from Yang Jue was enough to make him turn over the past, and all the doubts in the past were revealed.

Although Yang Jue was a few years older than Jiang Xi at the time, he was not yet old enough to know a family member like Wang Xuan. What's more, he was not a local and had never been in Tao County. How could he be so accurate? Find Wang Xuan and lure Jiang Xi over there.

What's more, An Sheng's arrival was too coincidental, impartial, just at the time when Wang Xuan took off his pants and was about to get on himself, and everything after that looked like a long-planned serial plot.

If Jiang Xi can't see the facts clearly, then he really doesn't need to stay in Noah's Ark.He really couldn't understand what An Sheng was thinking, did she think she couldn't find out if she didn't admit Jiang Xi.

It's fucking hilarious.

"An Sheng, what are you doing now," Jiang Xi tapped his knee, "Are you stupid or do you think I'm stupid?"

"I'm stupid." A rare begging kimono appeared in An Sheng's eyes, "I just hope you don't hate me so much."

Jiang Xi's heart was suddenly hit by the look in her eyes, but then he immediately came to his senses, tilted his head and smiled: "You know exactly what to do so that I won't make me hate you more."

After speaking, he pointed to Yang Jue who was kneeling on the ground: "It's not such a meaningless trick like a clown."

Hearing what Jiang Xi said, the expression in An Sheng's eyes disappeared immediately, replaced by bright and visible anger: "You can only stay by my side."

"Then what else do we have to talk about," Jiang Xi knew she would, "Such tricks are a waste of time."

An Sheng was clearly irritated, but she was as well disguised as before, only her rapping fingers betrayed her true emotions.

Jiang Xi has been with her for four years, so he knows her habit.

She squinted her eyes and stared at Jiang Xi for a while, and after a while, she asked: "Are you not satisfied with my punishment, you think it's too light, and you're angry about it?"

"No!" Finally, there was a trace of emotion on Jiang Xi's face, he glanced at Yang Jue's prosthetic limb, and said, "I feel disgusted by what you did."

Did Yang Jue do something wrong?His mistake was that he shouldn't have lured Jiang Xi into that song room, but his mistake was definitely not telling Jiang Xi the truth about what happened back then, nor was An Sheng's vent of discouragement.

But her self-deception ruined one of Yang Jue's legs.No matter how flexible the prosthetic limb is and how well-fitted it is, can it compare to my real leg?

The more Jiang Xi thought about it, the more angry he became, and he asked excitedly: "What do you think you are, the leader of the underworld? Or the ruler of the feudal society, who can disregard other people's lives and organs, you..."

"Then what do you think I am?" An Sheng interrupted Jiang Xi's questioning coldly, "Jiaojiao, be sober, don't let the stable days in those few days erode the ambition flowing in your blood, let alone let the ridiculous Your moral conscience destroys your well-worn armor."

Jiang Xi really wanted to sneer back, but he couldn't say anything, because what he wanted to say was too ridiculous, at least in Noah's Ark.

People will not think you are kind, they will only think you are cowardly and easy to bully.

The words just now were already impulsive enough, and Jiang Xi couldn't lose his mind any further.

There was a brief silence in the office.

An Sheng wiped away the look of victory in his eyes, looked coldly at Yang Jue who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Okay, get up."

Yang Jue glanced at Jiang Xi, then quickly looked away and lowered his head and said, "I dare not stand up without the deputy's forgiveness."

"What kind of forgiveness do you need from me?" Jiang Xi was a little irritated by his green tea-like expression, and warned, "Don't play those little tricks."

But Yang Jue didn't listen to it, and even got into the drama too deeply with tears of grievance in his eyes: "I'm really guilty and want to make it up, please forgive me..."

"An Sheng, you must be so sick of me on the first day, right?" Jiang Xi angrily kicked the coffee table.

He knows who Yang Jue is. Whether it is a year ago or a year later, or in the next decade or so, he will never feel any guilt towards Jiang Xi, let alone crippling his leg in An Sheng. After that, he might be thinking about how to kill Jiang Xi now, just like the challenge a year ago.

The methods are dirty and vicious but vicious.

Regarding Jiang Xi's anger, An Sheng didn't know what he was thinking. He stretched his feet against the coffee table, raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't get angry, I sincerely apologize to you, my Jiaojiao is not such a stingy person, you say yes .”

After finishing speaking, she paused again: "Do you think this punishment is not strong enough? Also, anyone who is almost destroyed by HN9's nervous system will not let it go. Then I will cripple his leg, or... "

"Enough!" Jiang Xi yelled sullenly, "You guys are really enough. I'm not in the mood to pursue the past, so don't act like you don't disgust me."

"That's right..." An Sheng smiled inexplicably, then turned to Yang Jue and said, "It's a write-off, get up."

"Thank you, deputy." Yang Jue immediately put away that pleading look, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and Jiang Xi's unpredictable light flickered in his eyes.

It vividly reproduces the traitors who led the way for the Japanese army during the Anti-Japanese War.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll..."

"Since it's been written off, not only we present must know, but other people must also know," An Sheng interrupted Jiang Xi, "after all, our Language Sense Department can't be internally strife and unanimously external, don't you think so, Jiao Jiao."

Well, it took so long to get to the point, Jiang Xi suppressed the impatience in his heart, and asked in a cold voice: "What do you want to do?"

"Let Yang Jue go to work under your command. This will also reassure everyone and help establish our prestige. After all, iron and blood wrists still need to be integrated with some soft policies to help maintain order, right?" An Sheng said with a smile.

Jiang Xi finally knew why An Sheng made such a fuss today, and it turned out to be for this reason.She knew that Yang Jue hated herself and wished she could swallow him alive, but she still put Yang Jue beside her.

In addition to letting Yang Jue monitor his every move, the more important thing is to clearly warn Jiang Xi that there is a vicious dog surrounded by you with the mentality of trying to kill the net, and if you relax even a little bit, you will be killed by him. There is not even scum left.

In order to make Jiang Xi continue to work for her like before, An Sheng tried every means, first Niko and then Yang Jue, maybe there are others waiting behind.

However, this is also in line with An Sheng's style of conduct, and she will not be merciful to everyone, including herself.

Jiang Xi suppressed the urge to hit someone, tilted his head, took a few deep breaths, and said with a sneer, "Okay, there are quite a few of them."

"So good," An Sheng smiled with satisfaction, "Be an assistant, Niko will take care of him."

"clear."

"Thank you Minister."

"Okay, your class schedule and work schedule have been sent to your account, so I don't need to teach you what to do again." An Sheng asked.

Jiang Xi knew that there was nothing else to do today, so he immediately stood up, straightened his clothes and replied, "No need."

Now he just wants to stay as far away from An Sheng as possible, and it's best not to have any intersections if he is busy.

"Well," An Sheng nodded in satisfaction, "then you all go to work."

Jiang Xi didn't bother to answer her words, and strode out of her office directly. Niko and Yang Jue hurriedly replied to An Sheng, and followed Jiang Xi closely.

"Jiaojiao." An Sheng suddenly stopped Jiang Xi.

Jiang Xi pulled the door's hand and tilted his head slightly.

"Welcome back."
