Chapter 154: Not Only Stupid but Also Amnesiac
In the end, Xiao Huan was completely controlled. She didn’t understand why Zhang Can’er and the others had to capture her.
Zhang Can’er looked at Peng Zezhi, who was lying on the ground, and also tied him up with a rope. After throwing him aside, she planned to deal with him later.
She looked at Xiao Huan with some confusion. After all, she was a Federation Lord. It was impossible for her not to see that something was wrong with Peng Zezhi.
She had clearly made compensation, so Peng Zezhi shouldn’t have come to Xiao Huan to complain. After all, her current identity was a director, and she was also the god of war in the hearts of the common people, respected by all. Even if this matter was brought to light, she would be in the right.
It was impossible for Peng Zezhi to do such a stupid thing. After being in the army for many years, his brain couldn’t be so stupid. Otherwise, he would have been exposed in the wilderness in minutes.
And Xiao Huan was even more magical. Such a smart person actually couldn’t see that something was wrong. There was a problem, a big problem.
Zhang Can’er didn’t know what to do for a moment. So she just called Xiao Feng over.
Xiao Feng came with Shen Fanmeng. Seeing the scene in the office, they were stunned for a moment.
“This, what happened?” Xiao Feng quickly walked to Zhang Can’er, wanting to know what had happened.
Shen Fanmeng also followed closely behind.
Zhang Can’er roughly explained the matter, and also roughly explained the logic.
Xiao Feng and Shen Fanmeng exchanged a look, then turned to look at Xiao Huan. On the surface, nothing could be seen. But there were many people here. It was not a good place to solve the problem.
So the few of them took Xiao Huan and Peng Zezhi out of the main building and returned to Xiao Huan’s residence.
In the living room, Tang Dongyun was looking at a document. Hearing the commotion, she turned her head and saw Xiao Feng carrying Xiao Huan on her shoulder, like a kidnapper.
After Zhang Can’er’s explanation, Tang Dongyun’s eyes when she looked at Xiao Huan also had a hint of confusion. She reached out and took off the mouth gag, and asked softly, “A’Huan, do you still know who I am?”
Xiao Huan glanced at the crowd. She didn’t see anything on their faces. She frowned and didn’t answer.
In a short period of time, she felt that she had forgotten many things and couldn’t remember many things.
But why did these people have to tie her up? She just couldn’t remember things. She hadn’t done anything wrong.
A sad emotion slowly appeared in Tang Dongyun’s beautiful eyes. Xiao Huan had actually forgotten her. This was something she could not accept.
Tears fell on Xiao Huan’s hand without any warning. The scalding teardrops made Xiao Huan panic. She looked at the teary eyes of the strange woman in front of her, not understanding why her heart would hurt so much. Her hand subconsciously wanted to comfort her.
But she was tied too tightly. She couldn’t struggle free. She could only turn her head and glare at Xiao Feng, who was on the side. “Untie me! Can’t you see that she’s crying? Untie me!”
Xiao Huan’s emotional state made Xiao Feng stunned for a moment. Zhang Can’er reacted quickly and helped Xiao Huan untie the ropes on her hands.
As soon as Xiao Huan was free, she turned and hugged Tang Dongyun, saying “don’t cry, don’t cry” in her mouth. Her voice was extremely gentle, with a comforting tone.
Zhang Can’er raised her eyebrows. Her brain was not working well, but her actions were fine.
It was also at this time that Zhang Can’er saw the faint black marks on the back of Xiao Huan’s neck. She quickly walked to Peng Zezhi’s side, took off the clothes on the back of his neck, and the black icon came into view.
The pattern was a circle, with a blood-necked snake coiled up inside. A pair of red vertical pupils stared coldly at the person looking at it. The two red marks on its neck seemed to have been drawn on casually, but they made the blood-necked snake look even more sinister and bloody.
The blood-necked snake was a unique snake species of the Starshine Federation, famous for its delicious meat. So many people specially raised this kind of snake for business. It was the most popular type of non-venomous snake.
Zhang Can’er was not afraid of snakes. When she was in the village, she would often catch snakes to sell. After all, some people just liked to eat wild snakes.
But at that time, she was not old. She only thought about making money, so she didn’t think too much. It was only after being caught by the inspection team once that she knew that it was illegal to catch and sell wild snakes.
That was the first time in her life that she had gone to the inspection team, and also the first time she had seen a prison for prisoners. Fortunately, Zhang Can’er was honest. She said whatever was asked. This allowed the inspection team to catch the organization that specialized in eating wild snakes and solve a big case. It was considered to have made up for her mistake. She was released after being locked up for three days.
The captain at that time also saw that Zhang Can’er was honest and really didn’t know about this matter, so he didn’t leave a record for her.
This was the only muddled thing Zhang Can’er had ever done.
So when she saw a snake, Zhang Can’er’s reaction was to stay away.
The snake on the back of Peng Zezhi’s neck was drawn so vividly that it was as if it were right in front of her, which made Zhang Can’er can’t help but take a step back.
Wan Feng thought she was scared of the snake and comforted her softly, “It’s fake. Don’t be afraid.”
“I’m not afraid of snakes,” Zhang Can’er did not explain further. The experience of being caught that time had left a considerable shadow in her heart. She was afraid that she would accidentally kill a snake, and then the inspection team would come and arrest her.
Wan Feng was not very convinced. She felt that Zhang Can’er was definitely just being stubborn and trying to save face. If her wife wanted to save face, then she definitely had to give it to her.
“Mhm, you’re not afraid.”
Zhang Can’er pushed her and asked, “Do you recognize this pattern?”
Wan Feng shook her head. Then Zhang Can’er asked the few people present, and none of them had seen this pattern before.
For a moment, the air was stagnant, and the atmosphere was a bit oppressive. Xiao Huan’s memory was disappearing very quickly, but with Tang Dongyun, she could still be controlled. But Peng Zezhi was not so easy to fool.
Although his mind had also become straight after losing his memory and he couldn’t think around corners, it didn’t mean that he was stupid.
“This is kidnapping! This is imprisonment!”
When Peng Zezhi woke up and found himself tied up, he was furious and shouted loudly to be released.
In the end, Ke Yajun couldn’t stand it anymore and forcefully put a mouth gag on him. The living room was finally quiet.
The few of them had no choice for a moment. It was not a solution to just sit there. The Federation still needed someone to preside over it, so Shen Fanmeng was busy.
Ke Yajun took out her mechanical bird again and scanned the pattern, but there was still no information, except for the composition.
The pigment used for the pattern was just a very common black pigment, which could be seen everywhere in the main city, and was even sold at many stalls.
Ke Yajun gave up. After putting the mechanical bird back in the warehouse, she leaned against Zhuang Jiayuan’s embrace and said in a low voice, “I thought we were here to beat people up, but I didn’t expect we were here to save people. Alas… it’s the apocalypse. Why are there still so many conspiracies and tricks?”
Zhang Can’er looked down at the copied pattern and said softly, “Where there are people, there will be conflicts of interest. Where there are conflicts, there will be tricks. Whether it’s an open plot or a secret plot, they will all be used. People are all egoists, unless they are truly compassionate.”
