Chapter 0428 you still have a choice

Although the cautious Jiang Yue was worried, he did not relax his vigilance. After secretly noticing that no one was following him, he quickly left.

It was actually only after eight o'clock in the evening, but the once prosperous Star City seemed extremely depressed. Without the feasting, entertainment, and lavish nightlife, the city seemed to have lost its vitality, like an old man in his twilight years.

 Except for the official officers on martial law patrol, no one dared to wander around at this time on the street.

However, in the darkness, all kinds of urban foxes and rats could no longer hold back, including some people who were driven by hunger, and began to come out of the darkness one after another.

It is not necessarily true that these people have great malice.

 There is only one primitive driving force driving them, and that is hunger.

 After this period of depression, most people’s inventory at home will be exhausted, and if they don’t go out to look for food, they will go hungry.

 Although the official claim is to carry out food control and uniform distribution, the amount of food that can actually be distributed to individuals is actually very little.

 After all, for a city as large as Star City, if it is pure consumption and there is no continuous supply, food will definitely become a big problem, but it will only happen sooner or later.

 Now, this problem has obviously become highlighted.

 In the Sunshine Age and the Strange Age, foraging is two completely different concepts.

 In the sunny era, all you need to go out to find food is a mobile phone and a wallet. You can get a bite to eat wherever you go, without even having to go out. The wide variety of takeaways is enough to keep you at home for several months.

But things are different in this strange era, money no longer has purchasing power.

The so-called foraging is actually stealing, robbing, bloody conflict, and even murder and arson.

 On such a chaotic night, God knows how many such incidents may occur.

But Jiang Yue also knows that this is something he is currently unable to change.

 You can only choose to ignore it.

When Jiang Yue appeared at the door of Duo Duo's house again, the mother and son were obviously overjoyed.

Even if they knew that Jiang Yue was coming for the short, fat and greasy man, it did not affect the joy in their hearts at all.

Jiang Yue's appearance always gives them an endless sense of security.

“Brother, that man was afraid that I would beat him up, but he is much more honest now.” Duoduo said as if he was taking credit.

Jiang Yue followed his tone and praised a few words, making the child even more excited as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.

“Sister-in-law, take the child to rest first, and I’ll chat with him for a few words. I have to leave later. No one will bother you during this time, right?”

Duoma was a little disappointed when she heard that he was leaving so late.

“It’s been very quiet these two days, and we don’t dare to make any noise. No one has come to harass us for the time being. There seems to be no other residents in this unit.”

“Well, be careful not to make too much noise on weekdays. Don’t even open the curtains. If you are stared at, you will always be in trouble if you know that someone lives here.”

 “Okay, our curtains have been kept closed.”

Jiang Yue said a few polite words, entered the empty room, and opened the cabinet door.

Lao Hong probably didn’t expect that Jiang Yue would come back so late. He was surprised: “Just drink the wine? That shouldn’t be the case. How long have you been here?”

Seeing that Jiang Yue didn't say anything, he just stared at him with a somewhat strange look in his eyes.

This made Lao Hong a little confused and couldn't help but said: "Brother, what are you looking at? Do I have flowers on my face?"

Jiang Yue sighed and glanced at the back of Lao Hong's neck. Sure enough, there was a green mark, about the size of a fingernail.

Jiang Yue took advantage of the situation and lifted up Lao Hong's clothes.

Sure enough, Lao Hong had green spots of this size in three places on his waist, abdomen and back.

Jiang Yue didn't bother to pull up his pants. He guessed that the spots might still be on his legs.

Looking at Lao Hong's confused state, Jiang Yue guessed that he hadn't even noticed the problem yet.

“Lao Hong, did you stay at home these past few nights, or did you go to your lover’s house?”

 “Why are you asking this?” Lao Hong looked confused.

“Haha, I remember you said that every time you go home, your wife wants you to pay the public allowance? It seems that you haven’t paid for some days.”

 Lao Hong's face turned green, as if someone had discovered some secret, and he looked a little flustered.

"You...what do you mean? You have already gone to my house? Have you touched my wife?" Lao Hong asked tremblingly, full of nervousness.

"You have several spots on your body. You can't see it yourself, and there's no reason why your wife can't see it. The only explanation is that you haven't paid the public food for a long time."

“Spots?” Lao Hong was confused, but he was vaguely relieved.

I was thinking about why this bastard was talking so cluelessly, which made me nervous for a while.

As long as it's not green, it's fine. There are spots or something. Maybe it's because you were under too much pressure during this period, and you're a little angry?

Jiang Yue took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the spots on his back.

“Lao Hong, look, you’ve been cheated on.” Jiang Yue clicked on the picture and joked.

Hearing the word "green", Lao Hong felt nervous again for no reason, but he was soon shocked by the spots on the photo.

 What kind of spot is this?

 Why do you have such weird spots on your body? And there are so many spots on them?

I’ve never heard of skin ringworm being green.

Moreover, the stripes are very strangely green, which makes people feel a little frightened when they look at them. No matter how you look at them, you feel like there is something wrong here.

"You...did you move your hands and feet?" Lao Hong's tongue curled up and he was inexplicably nervous.

"It would be easier if I had some help, but it's a pity it's not me..."

“Who is that?” Lao Hong heard something terrifying in Jiang Yue’s tone. His mood was affected and he couldn’t help but feel scared.

 “You should be able to guess.”

 “Chen Ginkgo?” Lao Hong hissed.

“Drinking and lust are misleading. When you drank her wine, didn’t you think that she would do something to you?”

 Lao Hong's face turned pale and his whole body collapsed.

  murmured: "I...it's not that I haven't thought about it, but every time I drink, I have noticed that she drinks the same wine."

“So, you think there is no risk? Lao Hong, I have to say, how smart a person you are, you would make such a naive mistake, I am surprised.”

“She...she poisoned the wine? Did she take the antidote in advance?”

"I don't know what the specific situation is, but it is obvious now that you have tricked her. Now that she is using this as a blackmail, you are in big trouble."

Jiang Yue didn't hide anything and recounted Chen Ginkgo's words truthfully.

 After hearing this, Lao Hong completely collapsed.

“I...what the hell have I done?” Lao Hong wailed in pain.

Before noon today, he felt that his life was reaching its peak and a bright future was waving towards him.

 But in just over half a day, all the good things disappeared and were replaced by nightmares one after another.

 He has resigned himself to being manipulated by Jiang Yue, and he also feels that if he cooperates well, Jiang Yue should not kill him.

 He has already made plans to lie down and cooperate.

But who would have thought that Chen Yingxing, that femme fatale beauty, would have already plotted against him.

 And that woman’s troubles are obviously much more troublesome than this one’s.

 “I might as well die and count the balls.” Lao Hong said, somewhat self-deprecating.

Jiang Yue smiled lightly and said, "I believe what others say. But you, Lao Hong, I don't believe you will die."

"Brother, instead of suffering like this, it's better to get it over with. What else do you think I can do? I know that woman Chen Ginkgo. If she has bad intentions for me, I will definitely not be able to play with her. Even if I

Give her the list of all the materials, and in the end, she will definitely not let me go."

"I agree."

Jiang Yue expressed pleasure that Lao Hong had such a cognitive awareness.

Although Chen Yingxing drew a lot of cakes for him there, Jiang Yue analyzed it from a neutral perspective and did not believe that Chen Yingxing was sincere at all.

"If I really become a monster without consciousness and harm the family around me, I might as well be killed now. Brother, please give me a break. I don't want to become a monster. I don't want to become a monster and harm my family."

.”

“Don’t mention it, I haven’t reached the stage of seeking death and living. I don’t agree with you to die, you can’t die yet.”

Lao Hong said with a bitter face: "Brother, if I say that I fall into your hands, I will accept my fate. Even if you kill me, I will not complain. But that woman, that woman... I really can't figure her out. She must have a big problem."

There are so many conspiracies waiting for me, I can’t bear them.”

“So, you don’t have many choices now.”

 “I...do I have a choice?”

 Lao Hong murmured, not sure whether he was talking to himself or asking Jiang Yue.

However, he seemed to think of something immediately, and a gleam of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

“Brother, you mean, I still have a choice? My choice is you?”

“Yes, I am your only option now. Of course, if you believe in Chen Yingxing more and think she can make you stronger, you might as well try to see if she is really sincere.”

“No, no, no, Chen Ginkgo will never be my choice.” Lao Hong was obviously afraid of Chen Ginkgo and had a deep psychological shadow.

 Looking at him like this, he was indeed scared out of his wits by Chen Ginkgo.

 Brother, do you know how to detoxify?"

“I don’t know how to detoxify, and there may not be any poison in your body. God knows what she did to your body.”

"You don't understand?" Lao Hong's face turned bitter again. You don't understand, so what's the use of me choosing you?

“I don’t know how to detoxify, but Chen Yinxing does. She must know how to deal with the tricks she uses.”

“But she will definitely not be so kind to help me out of trouble. She has finally managed to control me. Based on my understanding of her, she will definitely continue to control me like this and make my life worse than death.”

“She will naturally not be so kind, so the best solution is to get her into trouble. If you counterattack equally, she will have no choice but to solve the problem for you.”

"Equal counterattack?" Lao Hong said with a bitter smile, "With my little strength, I can't counterattack her. According to what you said, she can photograph objects from afar, and can make a glass break into pieces out of thin air. Such extraordinary strength.

, I have simply never heard of it. I guess she can kill me at any time before I take action."

“Of course you can’t do it, don’t you still have me? Don’t forget, I am you too.”

 Lao Hong understood instantly and was ecstatic: "You mean, you are willing to help me take action to counter her? You...can you beat her?"

This question was a bit rude, but Lao Hong couldn't help but blurt it out.

“Do you have any other choice besides having faith in me?”

 "I..." Lao Hong was speechless.

“Actually, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. I think you have the upper hand between Chen Ginkgo and you.”

 “Why do I have the advantage?” Lao Hong smiled bitterly.

“Let me ask you, in Chen Yinxing’s opinion, can you, Lao Hong, compare with her?”

“That’s definitely incomparable. I guess she looks down on me at all. She always pretends to be ambiguous with me, but she actually wants to take advantage of me. I’ve always thought so.”

"Yes, in her heart, you are far inferior to her, which is easy to handle. Since ancient times, porcelain has not touched the earthen pot. If she feels that you are far superior to you, then she will naturally not be willing to trade with you to the limit. No

I am willing to die with you. Isn’t this your greatest advantage?”

 Is there still such logic?

 Lao Hong was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

A great beauty like Chen Yingxing is above him in terms of status, strength and appearance. Such a woman must be particularly precious about her life.

How can you accept to die together?

 “So, I... really have a chance?”

"There are great opportunities, but of course there is a big prerequisite."

"The premise is that you are willing to help me counterattack her, and you can successfully counterattack, right?"

"Yes, you have some understanding. If I use the same tricks on you as I did on her, do you think she will compromise?"

"Then we must compromise!" Lao Hong suddenly blurted out as he recalled the fear of being controlled by Jiang Yue's magical method.

“You still have to write down the list and materials. In this way, I will dictate and I will record it. Isn’t it going to embarrass you?”

"Don't be embarrassed, don't be embarrassed!" Lao Hong lost his stubbornness at this time.

Jiang Yue is his only life-saving straw now, and he has to cooperate even if he doesn't.

He knew very well that he now had three bottles of poison. One was from the organization, one was from the current person, and the other was from Chen Ginkgo.

These three bottles of poison, the tissue bottle and the Chen Ginkgo bottle, are all fatal.

Especially the one from the organization, he will definitely not choose it. Once the organization knows this, not only will he die, but his family will also disappear from the world.

 That bottle of Chen Ginkgo is also extremely poisonous.

 Only this person is suspected to be from the government, has the most correct path, and is not so lethal.

Even if you drink poison to quench your thirst, you have to drink it first.

 Soon, a detailed list came out.

“Brother, you have to hold on tight, Chen Ginxing said it shouldn’t last more than a week, right?”

"There will be results within three days." Jiang Yue got the list, so he must give others some confidence.

"Alas!" Lao Hong felt heavy. Although he chose Jiang Yue's bottle of poison, he still felt uncertain. Thinking that he was in such a whirlpool, and that the Clay Bodhisattva was crossing the river, he could not protect himself. When he thought of his wife and children, he felt even more confused.

It was a moment of despair.
