The meet-and-greet activity does not start immediately after the performance - the troupe members need to rest after such a high-intensity performance, and those tight costumes and props are not suitable for wearing to meet guests. That kind of process is also a process for the actors.
It's quite a torture. Usually they will change into other decent clothes on similar formal occasions.
This also gave Jiang Yan some time to respond. The first priority was to ensure the safety of Hong who was traveling with her. Fortunately, this time Hong did not lose the ability to move directly like last time. With trust and reason, she finally let Jiang go.
Go for this extremely dangerous interview.
Hong firmly stated that she could wait alone in a safe place outside the theater for Jiang Shao to come to her, but Jiang Shao could not make such a dangerous decision. She had to find a reliable partner or a safe place to place Hong. Jiang Shao could not make such a dangerous decision.
I know that my current position is not suitable for looking for my own people who have entered the defensive stage, but other than asking Iron Arm and the others, this matter is really not easy to handle:
His "men" couldn't take care of Hong, Rhode Island... Jiang Shao asked Hong, "Do you want to go and be with Hodel and the atrocities?" Hong shook her head silently: She seemed to know that Jiang Shao was now with
The people in Rhode Island were a bit uneasy. If Jiang Yan came into contact with them with the excuse of "I want to contact the fanged clown" at this moment, he would definitely be pushed to the ground and beaten until he became paralyzed.
"You can't be embarrassed and ask Mr. Lin..." Jiang Xiang didn't doubt the strength of the Black Caps Guards and the Rat King himself, but the relationship between the two after the meeting in the teahouse was extremely delicate. Of course, when Jiang Xiang really had no choice
I will make this choice, even if I am called a softie: Face is nothing compared with the safety of my friends.
Thinking this way, I am indeed "falling apart from everyone", Jiang Yan said silently. In fact, this is an expected result, after all, what I have to do now is to leave everyone.
But he wasn't going to give up, so there was something he had to try.
——
Jiang Yan pulled Hong along the crowded avenue to Zi's beauty salon. When he opened the door, Shen Mo, who was guarding the counter of the shop, looked up at the doorbell and saw that the visitor was Jiang Yan, holding a girl.
His expression immediately became very complicated.
Shen Mo's eyes twitched twice, "I said... you don't do maintenance or haircuts, but have you been visiting our store too frequently recently?"
"Sorry, but there are indeed a lot of things that require running around." Jiang Yan smiled awkwardly and pulled Hong, who had been holding his hand, to the front. "This is a friend I met in Victoria, and he is here now.
I don’t know anyone, so——”
"Okay, okay, I understand." Shen Mo raised his eyes and curled his lips, "Looking for Sister Zi and Xia, right? They are upstairs. I'll call them down."
Jiang Yan shook his head, "No, I'm just looking for you."
Shen Mo paused as he stood up, "Looking for me?"
"Well, other people... I can't trust them." Jiang Yan looked at Shen Mo and then at Hong, "She is actually capable enough to protect herself, but now I really can't leave her alone." Shen Mo then said
Noticing Hong's look, she asked, "Isn't this still a child?" She walked forward quickly, looked at Hong who was in a daze, and stretched out her hand to check her temperature, but did not act because of Hong's sharp breath.
"Well, her mental state is not very good. She only gets close to people she wants to get close to. After much thought, I found that none of the people she already knows are suitable candidates, so she can only come to you." Jiang Yan put his hand on Hong's shoulder.
"If you are willing, I hope you will take care of her for me...well, about three or four hours, and then I will pick her up."
"...I don't understand, what is going on?"
"I have to find a safe place for her. Although it's not now, I can't let her follow me all the time. It's dangerous." Jiang Yan gave some rough explanations, but this level of explanation couldn't tell Shen
What is Mo's current situation? But Jiang Yan cannot answer any further questions now.
"Can you help?"
Shen Mo was choked up mid-sentence, and she looked at the red eyes and the messy hair under the hood again. "What if I say no?"
"...Then I can only go to others, such as Mr. Lin." Jiang Yan weighed the things he had on hand. Maybe he could do some non-negotiation transactions in another identity.
"..." Shen Mo's gaze switched back and forth between the two of them. When she closed her eyes, she would still recall Hong's evasive eyes. "Ah, *Longmen expletive*, it's true!" This moment seemed like it happened again.
Shen Mo turned into the "little girl" who was full of hostility. Shen Mo messed up his hair with both hands irritably, and then waved his hands in self-indulgence:
"Then I'm pretty proud, right? You can compare me to Mr. Lin! It's not like I don't know that you two just had a conflict, how dare you go to him?"
Jiang Yan was at a loss for a moment, "Well, but this matter has to be solved. If it doesn't work, this is the only way."
"——I'll help you, I'll just help you!" Shen Mo turned his head to the sky and covered his eyes with his hands, acting helpless and crazy. "Hey, *slurred words to himself*, it's really your own fault!
"
Jiang Yan looked at Shen Mo, who had lost all his ladylike demeanor, and looked at Hong with questioning eyes. The wolf cub twitched its nose twice and nodded quietly in silence. It should be okay.
"Then please, thank you very much."
Shen Mo put his hands down and put his hands on his hips, curling his lips impatiently. "You have accumulated a lot of food expenses for a long time, and the guests who come to you can just use them up. It's not too late for me to be happy." After saying this, he waved his hand.
, obviously seeing off guests.
Jiang Yan turned around and walked out the door. When he opened the store door, he turned back to Shen Mo and asked:
"Do you know Iron Arm's phone number?"
Shen Mo said inexplicably, "Don't you keep a copy of your business cards at home? You can find them."
"That's good." Jiang Shao nodded. "If I haven't contacted you at ten o'clock, you can ask Iron Arm to come and help. That's it - you must remember it."
Having said that, Jiang Yan walked out of the store without looking back. At this moment, the night slowly fell, and along with the darkness came an unexpected rain cloud: winter has arrived, although the temperature in Longmen will not drop so much.
It was too fast, but there was very little liquid precipitation at this time. It was a coincidence that this moderate rain did not turn into snow.
Jiang Yan looked at the corner of the street across the street, looked there for a while, took shelter from the rain in a shop facing the street, and began to move towards the theater.
Watching the river go further and further away, a black figure hiding in the shadows left his post. The rain easily washed away the last traces of him, as if he had never been there.
