Chapter 157 Are you kidding me?
"I'll go with you..."After saying this, Chen Duo lowered her head slightly, her ears turning red.
Jiang Lan: "?"
No, just go if you want to. Why are you blushing like a bubble teapot?
This was Jiang Lan's misunderstanding. Chen Duo blushed because she felt that she had caused him trouble and was a little embarrassed.
However, Jiang Lan did not dwell on it too much, and said:
"Okay, I'll have someone take you out tomorrow."
Chen Duo tilted her head, "Wouldn't you like to come together?"
"I have something else to do here, so it may take some time. Don't worry, the people I find will take good care of you."
Jiang Lan's plan was to find his father first and ask someone to send Chen Duo away.
"Will the village... be destroyed?"
Jiang Lan thought for a moment and replied:
“The village may not be destroyed, but Ma Xianhong and those high-level talents will definitely be taken away by the company.”
Chen Duo lowered her head slightly, "Then can I wait here until things are over?"
Jiang Lan didn't feel surprised at Chen Duo's request.
After all, after leaving the company, Chen Duo has been staying in this village.
It’s definitely not the case that I have any feelings for the people in the village.
But after all, Ma Xianhong should be pretty nice to her, so it is understandable that Chen Duo wants to stay here and wait until things are over.
Moreover, the group of temporary workers had already discussed it and would not make things difficult for Chen Duo.
Therefore, Jiang Lan did not intend to refuse, but nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, but it's best not to have any more contact with Ma Xianhong and the others. He's actually a good person, but he's too ambitious. Continuing to contact him will only hurt you."
Chen Duo didn't ask any more questions, but just agreed softly:
"I see."
"Okay." Jiang Lan waved his hand. "That's all I have to say. I think the things in Biyou Village will be over in the next few days. I'll take you away when the time comes."
……
After watching Chen Duo leave, Jiang Lan stood up and returned to bed.
As for Chen Duo, the problem has been solved.
Next, it’s Ma Xianhong’s turn.
And Qu Tong...
Thinking of Qu Tong, Jiang Lan frowned slightly again.
If she was really the person behind Ma Xianhong, then why had she been hiding before and came to find him today?
Exposing her identity in front of Jiang Lan now would do her more harm than good.
There was no way she didn't know that the company had already set its sights on Biyou Village.
According to Jiang Lan, there are only three... three and a half possibilities for why Qu Tong chose to reveal her identity at this time.
The first one is that she felt Jiang Lan couldn't guess that she was the person behind Ma Xianhong.
But this possibility can be said to be very small. Since Qu Tong came to find him, she must have investigated him. Even if the investigation was not particularly detailed, she must have a general understanding of what he had done.
Anyway, Jiang Lan didn't think that his previous behavior had ever been like that of a fool.
The second possibility is that Qu Tong had to come to him and wanted to recruit him into the group.
Even if there is a risk of the company finding out, he has to step forward to win him over.
Jiang Lan felt that this possibility was the greatest.
But if you ask Jiang Lan if there is anything on him that is worth coveting, the only thing he can think of is the ferocious beasts behind him.
After all, apart from this, Jiang Lan doesn't think there is anything else that makes him different from ordinary people.
And the third kind...
Qu Tong is not afraid of the company.
Even if she doesn't have the capital to go to war with the company, she is fearless.
That's why she dared to show up at this time even though she knew that the company had already set its sights on Biyou Village.
Although this speculation was outrageous, Jiang Lan felt that it was not impossible. After all, the company was just an organization backed by the government, or in other words, it had an official background.
But no one has ever said explicitly that the company was established directly by the government.
Even Xu San and Xu Si always avoid talking about this matter.
Since no one has said it explicitly, the company will definitely be constrained in doing anything.
If there were really no taboos, then the company would not bother to create positions like temporary workers.
So Qu Tong may be relying on this point to think that even if the company knows that she is the one behind it, they can't do anything to her.
Finally, there is a less likely possibility.
That is, Qu Tong didn't think Jiang Lan would give her up.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lan's expression became a little strange.
Why should she?
But if Qu Tong really thought so... then she was right.
Even though Jiang Lan had confirmed some things, he still did not intend to give Qu Tong away.
Not to mention that exposing Qu Tong would do him no good at all and he might even get into trouble.
Although Jiang Lan is not afraid of trouble, who would like to look for trouble?
Secondly, although becoming an immortal is something illusory and unreal, when it came from Qu Tong's mouth, for some reason, Jiang Lan actually felt that there was a little possibility.
If for no other reason, even for this elusive possibility, Jiang Lan would not choose to give Qu Tong away.
To Jiang Lan now, offending Qu Tong would do him all kinds of harm and no benefits.
Suddenly, Jiang Lan turned over and sat up in bed.
Pulling out his cell phone, he quickly dialed a number.
A ring sounded from the receiver, and after almost half a minute, the call was finally answered by the other end.
"Ha... Lao Jiang... What's going on in the middle of the night?"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Ye's somewhat confused voice sounded.
"Come over here, I have something to talk to you about."
"Brother..." Wang Ye's voice was still confused, "I just went to sleep... It's been two days, please forgive me, can we talk about it tomorrow?"
"Okay, I wanted to talk to you about the man behind Ma Xianhong. Go to sleep first and we'll talk tomorrow."
"What?"
Wang Ye's tone suddenly rose, "Do you know who he is?"
"Yeah, he came to see me just now. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it should be."
"I'm coming over now! Wait for me!"
Immediately afterwards, a noisy sound came from Wang Ye's side.
"Goodbye, let's talk about it tomorrow." Jiang Lan also yawned, "I've used my brain too much today, and I'm a little sleepy. Let's go to bed first and be refreshed."
"No, brother, are you playing with me here?" Wang Ye's voice stopped.
"No, no, go to sleep first."
He was not in a hurry to tell Wang Ye about Qu Tong's matter.
Besides, Wang Ye hadn’t slept for two days. Now that he was finally going to sleep, Jiang Lan didn’t have the heart to wake him up.
If you get trapped again, something bad will happen.
"I give in to you..." Wang Ye said helplessly, "I'll come to see you tomorrow morning."
"Alright, alright, go to sleep..."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lan threw the phone aside, lay back on the bed, and planned to take a nap.
But after closing his eyes, thoughts started to flood his mind.
After tossing and turning in bed for two or three hours, just when Jiang Lan was finally about to fall asleep, his door was suddenly pushed open.
