Jiang Baimian said in exasperation and amusement, “You really value your friends.”
“It wasn’t easy for Little Red and Little White these past few years.” Shang Jianyao suddenly spoke sincerely. He then asked Jiang Baimian, “Why are you here?”
Today was only Bai Chen’s meeting of the parents, not a wedding banquet.
Jiang Baimian laughed. “You can care about Little Red and Little White, but can’t I? I came over to see how effective it was and if there’s a need for me to smooth things over.”
“You’re late. It’s already over,” Shang Jianyao pointed out.
Jiang Baimian gritted her teeth. “Life is always filled with all kinds of accidents.”
“Therefore, you find yourself lost as you walk…” The honest Shang Jianyao was quickly pressed to the ‘ground’ by the other Shang Jianyaos.
Jiang Baimian slowly exhaled and looked past Shang Jianyao at Long Yuehong’s house. She revealed a gratified expression when she heard the faint peals of laughter.
Jiang Baimian retracted her gaze and said to Shang Jianyao, “Let’s go take a look at your room.”
“What do you want?” Shang Jianyao was horrified.
Jiang Baimian rolled her eyes at him. “Let’s talk about what happened recently.”
Shang Jianyao came to a realization and looked around warily. “I’ll go back first. Come over later. Remember—Zone B, Room 196.”
You make it seem like a spy meeting… Jiang Baimian didn’t interrupt Shang Jianyao’s fun and watched him walk to Zone B.
In any case, what they wanted to talk about was indeed rather confidential.
After waiting for a few minutes, Jiang Baimian strode forward and calmly headed to Zone B.
Before long, she entered Room 196, where Shang Jianyao lived. She sized up this place that was only six square meters.
She didn’t comment. She pulled a chair behind the desk by the window, sat down, and asked, “What are your plans regarding the Life Ritual parish?”
The reason Jiang Baimian found an opportunity to talk to Shang Jianyao about this was that she was worried he would ultimately be unable to calm down and make an irrational attempt.
Shang Jianyao’s eyes lit up. “I plan on asking for your help.”
“Help with what?” Jiang Baimian raised her guard.
Shang Jianyao—who was sitting by the bed—said with bright eyes, “If we don’t take action, will the person who affected Little White and Little Red’s dreams be unable to hold back and make them have the same dream again to transmit more important information?”
“It’s quite likely,” Jiang Baimian evaluated calmly.
Shang Jianyao smiled. “We all know that it’s impossible to determine who’s who through human consciousness. If the people affected in the dream weren’t Little White and Little Red but you and me, could we have sensed the target in reverse, captured him, and interrogated him about his goal and the authenticity of the information regarding the Life Ritual parish?”
“In theory, yes.” Jiang Baimian roughly understood Shang Jianyao’s plan.
Shang Jianyao excitedly said, “Let’s find an opportunity to disguise ourselves as Little White and Little Red and live in Little White’s house, waiting to be affected by the dream. We can do this during working hours. It won’t be easy to be discovered.”
“But it’s impossible to disguise ourselves every day. We have no way of knowing when the other party will come to affect our dreams.” Jiang Baimian doused his enthusiasm.
Shang Jianyao thought about it and felt a little depressed.
Jiang Baimian scoffed. “A plan can’t rely on coincidence or luck. The success rate of your plan isn’t better than directly asking Mei Shou’an and Minister Xenny if they are members of the Life Ritual parish…”
As she spoke, Jiang Baimian suddenly fell silent.
Shang Jianyao seemed to have received a reminder as he clenched his right fist and punched his left palm. “That’s right. We can ask directly!”
His expression gradually turned ruthless. “It’s too risky and sudden to find Director Su, but we have sufficient and reasonable reasons to find Mei Shou’an and Minister Xenny. Use the excuses of going to Mei Shou’an to fulfill the previous promise of undergoing a body examination and the reporting of Little White and Little Red’s dream to Minister Xenny. When the time comes, conceal the ‘persuasion’ in our conversation and obtain the most realistic answer.”
“What if there’s nothing wrong with them? It’s impossible for you to maintain the effects of Thought Implantation all the time,” Jiang Baimian asked in a deep voice.
Shang Jianyao smiled frankly. “If there’s really nothing wrong with them and that we are the ones overthinking and being used, I will remove my Thought Implantation and accept the corresponding punishment.. Even if I lose everything and get locked up to undergo education, I have no complaints.”
