Chapter 2390 A dog exposed their disguise
Chapter 2390
"You know the situation in the mountains is quite serious. We need to find experts from all fields to bring the situation under control."
"Especially those huge rats, we need to eradicate them as soon as possible."
"So we may have to deploy troops, so I have to do everything I can to deal with them."
Rose listened quietly, not understanding what he was trying to say.
After a pause, Li Chengze finally revealed his meaning: "Because I'm quite busy, I might not be able to take care of Xiao Hei at home."
"Could I leave Xiao Hei with you for a couple of days and take care of him for me?"
Rose immediately understood what he meant.
She heard from her daughter that Li Chengze had a dog named Xiao Hei.
At that moment, Rose felt a little resistant, though she couldn't explain why; she just felt she shouldn't agree.
However, it would be unreasonable to refuse such a small request.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Chengze felt as if he had been granted a pardon, and he stood up and ran outside.
After opening the door, Xiao Hei rushed in. He first ran towards Li Chengze and wagged his tail for a long time.
Then Li Chengze pointed to Rose and said, "Go to your Aunt Rose's place. You'll be staying here for the next few days. Take good care of your aunt."
Little Black turned to look at Rose and hurriedly ran over.
But as he approached the rose, he suddenly stopped and looked at it suspiciously.
Suddenly, it started barking at Rose.
Li Chengze's face turned pale instantly.
His gaze swept over Rose's face, but he remained silent, his lips pressed tightly together.
Rose was a little confused at this moment, but in that instant, she seemed to understand something.
It's the smell!
Dogs are very sensitive to smells, so this dog must have been quite familiar with Jiang Wan before.
Although she and Jiang Wan have swapped human skin masks, their body scents have not been exchanged.
Therefore, the dog immediately recognized that she was not the original Rose.
In that instant, Rose's face also turned somewhat ugly. How could someone who had been shrewd all her life have ended up losing her way in a ditch?
This is how to do?
Just when she felt a little numb and at a loss.
Suddenly, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and Jiang Wan came down wearing that unfamiliar mask.
She frowned when she saw the people in the living room.
She had just gone upstairs to take a shower and was getting ready to sleep; she was extremely tired after all that commotion over the past day and night.
She was already lying in bed, with her eyes closed, about to fall asleep, when she suddenly heard a dog barking outside.
Then, I instinctively thought of Li Chengze's dog.
In that instant, she seemed to realize something, so she quickly put on her pajamas and ran downstairs.
The moment Jiang Wan appeared in the living room, Xiao Hei suddenly changed direction and rushed towards her. Before Jiang Wan could react, Xiao Hei had already buried itself in her arms.
The big head kept nuzzling against Jiang Wan's chest, and its tail was wagging like a propeller.
She looked very familiar. Li Chengze then turned his gaze to Jiang Wan, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
His chest heaved violently, and it was hard to tell whether it was anger or grievance.
Jiang Wan stood at the top of the stairs, the big dog still nuzzling against her.
Rose stood opposite Li Chengze, looking embarrassed and at a loss for what to say or do.
Li Chengze stood at the doorway of the living room, his expression shifting unpredictably, his eyes filled with a variety of complex emotions.
This scene truly deserves to be called a battleground.
Jiang Wan was the first to calm down. She smiled calmly, reached out and stroked the big dog's head, and whispered:
"Little Black is still so well-behaved. Aren't you tired after coming back from the mountains?"
"Go home quickly, take a shower, and go to bed."
Then he turned back to look at Li Chengze and said:
"Mr. Li, aren't you tired? There's still a lot to do. You might as well go home and get some sleep."
"Everything might be better after you wake up."
Li Chengze pursed his lips and gave a muffled "hmm".
Then he called to the dog.
Xiao Hei quickly returned to Li Chengze's side. Li Chengze looked up at Jiang Wan, then at Rose, and asked in a low voice:
"Can you tell me your name?"
He said this while looking at Jiang Wan.
Jiang Wan sighed softly, walked over and stood in front of him, looking at him with clear eyes and said:
"Don't you already know? My name is Jiang Wan."
When Jiang Wan revealed the truth, a hurt expression flashed across Li Chengze's eyes, but he seemed quite composed.
He had already guessed this outcome to some extent.
It has now simply been confirmed.
He pointed to the masks on Jiang Wan and Rose's faces, and Jiang Wan said, "These are just some small tricks used in the Chinese martial arts world, just human skin masks."
Rose frowned and looked at Jiang Wan, saying, "Is it okay to tell him like this?"
Jiang Wan waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I consider Li Chengze a friend. Actually, I didn't originally intend to hide it from him, it was just a matter of fate."
Li Chengze pursed his lips and remained silent. Jiang Wan said, "If you're willing to consider me a friend, you can sit down and listen to a story."
"If you feel hurt or wronged and don't want to be my friend anymore, I won't stop you."
"You can leave now. If we meet again in the future, we can be enemies."
His words were frank, yet they pierced Li Chengze's heart like a knife.
He felt even more aggrieved; he actually hoped that Jiang Wan would say something to comfort him.
But what right did he have to demand that she say such things? He glanced at the two women in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and then plopped down on the sofa.
She said angrily, "You've all deceived me like this, don't I have the right to know the truth?"
This means there is room for easing tensions.
It's not about really fighting them to the death, or even becoming their enemy.
Jiang Wan sighed softly and sat down opposite him.
Then they recounted the events that occurred after they arrived in country H.
After listening, Li Chengze understood. Just as Jiang Wan said, their original intention was not to harm H country, nor did they want to cause trouble here.
Ultimately, it was all a matter of chance. By chance, Jiang Wan was captured and put on a boat.
Jiang Wan tracked down the laboratory to save Hai Rongtian, but was then captured, stuffed into a ship, and sent to Crocodile Island in H country.
In order to protect herself, Jiang Wan escaped from Crocodile Island and went to Ancheng.
Then, she had to go into hiding to escape being hunted down.
It all happened in this rush, and now it's turned out like this. In the end, it's really not her fault.
She was just trying to survive.
After understanding the whole story, Li Chengze finally felt more at ease.
At least Jiang Wan didn't intentionally lie to him or fool him. It's just that he wasn't even her friend before, so he wasn't qualified to ask Jiang Wan to be honest with him.
