Jiang Chengli carefully avoided the plot, in order to avoid this scene. In this isolated and helpless situation, choosing one of the two will inevitably lead to the death of one person. Even though this is the world of novels, Jiang Chengli has lived here for almost half a year. Taking this place as the real world, it is impossible for him to watch someone die because of his choice.

"Who is the person behind you?" Jiang Chengli took a deep breath to calm his mind, imitating his usual image of a calm overlord, sitting leisurely, as if he didn't take the threat of the other party seriously, and asked the driver in a steady voice , "Is it Zouping?"

Zou Ping is a wealthy businessman in the novel.

In Jiang Chengli's impression, he has no grievances with this driver, and the driver's background is innocent. The driver's father also drove Jiang Chengli's father back then.

And just because the driver is alone and weak, it's fine to tie him up by chance. It's impossible to tie up Ji Xun and Gu Subai at the same time. There must be someone else behind him.

Who is it?

Was it his business rival, or someone he had offended?

If it was Zou Ping, he hadn't seen each other since time travel, and even business dealings were deliberately avoided by him.

If it was someone else he had offended, why was the method so similar to the plot in the novel?

Hearing his words, the driver didn't respond to the face that could not be found in the crowd, and just glanced at him lightly: "Young Master Jiang is right, I am indeed using other people's money to do things for others, the person behind you You don’t need to guess, you can’t even guess, it’s better to save some effort and quickly choose one of these two.”

Jiang Chengli's heart tightened when he heard his words, and his eyes briefly passed Ji Xun and the unconscious Gu Subai, and met Ji Xun's eyes, the lower half of the other's face was sealed with tape, but he could still see Flushing, and the exposed skin on the body is also scarred.

Jiang Chengli didn't know how long it had been since he woke up last time, the marks from the cigarette butts on his wrists were almost invisible, and even the clothes on his body had been changed.

The wound on Ji Xun's body did not know how long it had been, the blood was blurred and inflamed, it looked shocking, and it even triggered a fever on his body.

Although Gu Subai didn't have a fever, the wounds on his body were equally horrific, and he fell into a coma immediately.

Jiang Chengli couldn't bear to see how much enmity he had with him.

Obviously last time when he woke up, the other party was still unwilling to show his face, but now the driver exposed it directly, as if he didn't care about his revenge after he went out.

Did the driver already find a way out for himself, or did he no longer have the chance to pose a threat to the driver?

"You brought me here, at least tell me the purpose of the boss behind you. I can't make people torment me for nothing." Jiang Chengli frowned slightly, not letting go of the slightest expression change on the driver's face, "Yes Do you just want to torment me because you don't like me, or do you mean that your original target is not me, but you just want me to take the blame and get rid of the two people opposite?"

"Otherwise, how do you explain that you tossed the two people across from you so badly, but I was completely clean?"

Jiang Chengli deliberately tested the other party's attitude towards him, and when he finished the above sentence, he saw the driver's brow wrinkled: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't get anything out of me," he turned his head and looked Looking out of the window, the afterglow of the setting sun shone in, drawing a clear boundary line in front of Jiang Chengli.

Jiang Chengli looked up at the driver, the backlight was dazzling and blurry, he couldn't see his expression clearly, he could only hear a contemptuous sarcasm from the other person's words: "I'll ask you the answer in half an hour, think about it slowly."

After speaking, the driver left the door, and then there was the sound of the door being locked.

After the driver left, Jiang Chengli turned his head and looked around to see if there was anything that could be used in this room. This room is not big, not the dark warehouse he woke up last time, but a prefabricated room made of light steel framework.

I don’t know how many floors the prefabricated house has. It seems to be sitting in a very desolate place. Outside the window is a very tall and lush tree. The trunk is as thick as a person and a half, and the crown is dense. Through the broken glass window, you can see the green hills in the distance through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

Although the glass was broken, it was impossible for the three of them to escape from there with their bodies tied to the chair, not to mention how many floors it was, and if they jumped from a high floor, they would die in vain.

In less than half a minute, the setting sun had completely fallen from the horizon, and the light at Jiang Chengli's feet moved back a little bit, and finally disappeared completely, and the room was shrouded in darkness.

Without that ray of light, which is better than nothing, the chill of early winter descended instantly, Jiang Chengli's clothes had been changed by someone, it was not warm but much warmer than his previous ones.

Jiang Chengli's eyes fell on the cigarette butt burn on his wrist, but it hurt when it was burned, but it didn't cause much damage, leaving only a faint dark red circular mark.

Seeing the red dot, Jiang Chengli shuddered subconsciously, having the illusion of being stared at by some unknown sticky thing in the dark.

[System, are you there? 】Jiang Chengli tentatively asked the system, but unexpectedly, the system answered him very quickly this time.

【exist. 】

This too fast answering speed made Jiang Chengli suspicious. Perhaps the system was always there, but it was watching him from behind, allowing him to act on his own. It would only appear when it touched the interests of the system or the core of the mission.

The inexplicable transformation of his body time and time again before, and this time, he was in a desperate situation, but the system did not hurry up. If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask, or the system would still not respond to him.

Jiang Chengli seemed to have grasped something for a moment. Judging from the system's ability to quietly modify his body, the system can manipulate some things, and it will only do things in a direction that is beneficial to the system's tasks.

Jiang Chengli has two guesses. One is that the system can understand everything and know that he will be fine in the current situation; the other is that even if something happens to him, the system can still go to another host and will not care about his life or death.

Jiang Chengli is more inclined to the former, but has to be prepared for the latter.

[System, do you know who is behind the scenes? 】Although Jiang Chengli was asking, his tone was very firm, as if he had already made up his mind.Make sure the system knows all about it.

Jiang Chengli was betting that the system knew the inside story.

[I do know, but I won't tell you. 】The system was silent for two seconds, and the cold and undulating voice could not hear any emotion, 【I can only remind you that your mission will change the people around you, especially the mission object. Your current situation is the result of using these together. 】

Jiang Chengli thought about every word of the system carefully, and suddenly realized that maybe his previous guesses were superficial.

There is also a possibility that the wealthy businessman in the original text may also be used by others. This may not even be realized by the wealthy businessman himself, and there are other people behind the scenes.

And he only solved the rich businessman, but did not solve the fundamental problem.

Jiang Chengli was still thinking, when he suddenly heard a regular sound of collision, which came from Ji Xun.

Jiang Chengli looked up and saw that Ji Xun was shaking the shabby chair under him regularly, his body didn't move much and he didn't speak, only a pair of eyes looked at Jiang Chengli without blinking, and then looked down at his feet.

Jiang Chengli was taken aback, and followed Ji Xun's line of sight, and found that Ji Xun's feet looked like a piece of broken glass. As his feet moved away, the shards revealed the whole picture. Because Ji Xun stepped on it too tightly, it was still stained with fresh of blood.

Unlike Ji Xun and Gu Subai who were tied up by Wuhuada and couldn't move a little bit, Jiang Chengli was tied up fairly easily, restricting his movements just right but not making him too uncomfortable, and he could even drag the chair to walk slowly. He can barely use it.

Jiang Chengli did not act rashly. The driver dared to leave the three of them alone to go out without worry. Maybe there was a video or bugging device in a corner of the room.

Jiang Chengli winked at Ji Xun to keep him still, and pretended to break free from the rope, and even wanted to stand up and walk towards the door. After tossing for a while, even his wrists were worn out, and the door remained motionless. No one came in.

Jiang Chengli was relieved a little, and estimated that half an hour would be up soon, so he returned to the original place and asked Ji Xun to kick over the broken glass, and he dawdled to hide the broken glass in his palm.

Jiang Chengli felt the remaining bloodstains on it, his heart sank again and again, and just as he hid the fragments, there was the sound of unlocking the door.

It was the driver who came in, carrying three boxes of takeaway in his hand, two dishes and one soup looked quite rich, he opened it and threw it in front of Jiang Chengli, and threw the other two boxes in front of Ji Xun and Gu Subai.

The driver's behavior was very rude and the soup spilled some.

Jiang Chengli's eyes flicked across the food, it was very strange, from the morning when Ji Xun took care of him with a fever until now he didn't eat a bite, and he didn't know how long he was in a coma, even if it was the shortest, it was almost a whole day. He didn't feel hungry at all.

It's not because of nervousness that you don't feel hungry, it's a real feeling of fullness.

Some fragments seemed to flash through Jiang Chengli's mind. He was lying on the bed, as if someone was feeding him.

Does anyone care if a kidnapped person is hungry?Of course not.

Jiang Chengli seemed to have touched a door, and he could push it open with just a little inspiration.

"How do I eat when I'm tied up?" Ji Xun squinted his eyes, his voice was very hoarse, as if he hadn't eaten or drank for a long time.

Gu Subai also seemed to be awakened by the sound, opened his eyes and did not show any surprise at the scene in front of him, but his brows were tightly frowned because of the pain, presumably he knew the environment he was facing long ago.

"Tsk." Impatiently, the driver took out three boxes of yogurt from his overalls pocket, put a straw on each box and threw them at the three of them.

When Jiang Chengli saw the brand on the yogurt box, his pupils shrank suddenly.
