With Yao Hong’s affirmation, Gu Xiaowei looked utterly delighted.
Excitement also flickered in Yao Hong’s eyes. She felt the plan had great potential.
However, being naturally cautious, she would never let Gu Xiaowei attend the meeting like this.
So next, she taught Gu Xiaowei some lines to say at the meeting, as well as Jiang Nan’s mannerisms and behaviour.
Jiang Nan watched in growing frustration.
Are you two ever going to leave? It’s been nearly an hour. My invisibility time is about to run out!
With no choice, Jiang Nan teleported to the rooftop, but he worried Yao Hong might pull some trick downstairs.
From Dandelion’s style of operations and Yao Hong’s meticulous personality, it was clear she was a very clever woman.
To run Dandelion to this scale in the cut-throat underground world at only Diamond Eight, she relied on her brains.
Jiang Nan’s face was full of conflict.
But with his invisibility expiring, he could not…
Hang on, why not just put on another one?
How would he know it would not work without trying?
Though stacking consolation prizes always led to disastrous consequences.
But for his little treasury, he would risk it!
So Jiang Nan pulled out another purple Teletubby invisibility cloak and layered it over the green one.
Then a chubby purple Teletubby appeared, bulkier by a full circle.
Apart from slightly restricted movement, everything else was fine. Pinching the antenna still granted invisibility.
Jiang Nan grinned to himself. As expected, the invisibility cloaks could be stacked. Nesting dolls, anyone?
With a teleport, Jiang Nan returned to the room.
At that moment, Yao Hong was sitting on the bed with Gu Xiaowei, watching videos of Jiang Nan together.
Studying his movements, expressions, speech, and gait.
Jiang Nan: (｡･ˇ‸ˇ･｡:)
Do girls really take this much effort just to go out?
Another hour passed.
The furious Jiang Nan teleported to the rooftop again and added a red one, becoming a fat red Teletubby.
After turning invisible, he returned to the room once more.
Yet Yao Hong again demonstrated to Jiang Nan what true attention to detail meant.
She actually started rehearsing with Gu Xiaowei in the room!
Seeing another hour of invisibility about to expire, Jiang Nan exploded.
I’ve already layered three bloody Teletubby cloaks!
If I add more, I really won’t be able to move. Can you two hurry up?
Just then, Gu Xiaowei’s pretty face flushed. “Boss, I need to use the bathroom!”
Yao Hong frowned. “Hm?”
Gu Xiaowei: (˶･᷄ٹ･᷅) This young master needs to take a leak!
Only then did Yao Hong smile in satisfaction. “Go ahead.”
Jiang Nan was rendered speechless, watching Gu Xiaowei head to the bathroom.
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Nan thought, I’m not waiting any longer!
He teleported into the bathroom, where Gu Xiaowei was sitting on the toilet, humming a tune.
Just as she was about to start, Jiang Nan turned on the tap at the sink. Running water gushed out.
Gu Xiaowei jumped in fright and turned around in shock.
“Why did the tap turn on? Strange… Mmph!!!”
At that instant, invisible Jiang Nan clamped a hand over Gu Xiaowei’s mouth and teleported her to the empty room’s bathroom downstairs.
Yao Hong heard the water running in the bathroom and frowned slightly, but paid it no mind.
In the downstairs bathroom, Gu Xiaowei looked terrified, but before she could react, Jiang Nan knocked her out with his big green stick.
Jiang Nan grinned. “Want to borrow my identity? Fine, I’ll go myself!”
As he said this, Jiang Nan froze.
How the hell am I supposed to go?
I’m wearing three layered invisibility cloaks. I’m a fat red Teletubby!
These things don’t come off. Taking them off would mean peeling three layers of skin, right?
If I don’t remove them, will eating a Bu Ling Bu Ding work?
But on second thought, in this state the Teletubby cloaks were like skin, with sensation. Cuts would hurt!
So they were essentially part of his body?
It should work, then?
Gu Xiaowei, unconscious for about ten seconds, suddenly opened her eyes in panic. “You…”
“Shoo, shoo. I haven’t figured it out yet! Don’t interrupt me!”
He pulled out the big green stick and knocked her out again.
[Resentment value from Gu Xiaowei +1000!]
Action speaks louder than words. Jiang Nan ate a Bu Ling Bu Ding, eyes lighting up.
The innermost green Teletubby cloak seemed to change!
In one burst, Jiang Nan ate two more puddings.
The next moment, the fat red Teletubby gradually transformed bit by bit into Jiang Nan’s own appearance.
Jiang Nan looked thrilled.
As expected, it works. Though thinking he needed puddings to turn back into himself made his little face darken.
Before Gu Xiaowei could wake again, Jiang Nan knocked her out once more.
He stripped her clothes and put them on himself, then locked her entire body with 38 pairs of spirit-binding handcuffs.
Fearing she might escape, he wrapped her in spirit-binding chains like a dumpling and tied her in the bathroom.
Only then did Jiang Nan clap his little hands in satisfaction. “You’ll have to make do here for a bit. I’ll finish the rest of the job for you!”
With that, he teleported away and vanished.
At this moment, Yao Hong sat on the bed, glancing towards the bathroom with a slight frown.
Why has it been so long?
Just then, the bathroom door opened. Jiang Fat Red’s eyes sparkled. “Boss! Let me tell you, being a boy is way too convenient. You have to try it sometime!”
Yao Hong: ???
(⇀‸↼‶)
How am I supposed to try?
She glanced at her watch. “Time is almost up. Did you remember everything I just told you?”
Jiang Nan nodded. “Remembered!”
How could he forget? He’d been watching the whole time!
Yao Hong stood up, expression grave. “Remember, from this moment you are Jiang Nan. Don’t show any fear. Be arrogant!”
Jiang Nan narrowed his eyes slightly, a wickedly charming smile curving his lips.
“I rather want to see just how bold the Blood Alliance really is!”
Yao Hong stared at Jiang Nan in a daze.
Heavens! This was beyond mere resemblance. It was him!
These hours of special training had not been wasted. Xiaowei truly had talent for this!
Yao Hong walked gracefully to Jiang Nan, gently straightening his collar and brushing dust from his shoulders.
“If anything goes wrong, you leave first. Don’t worry about me. I have my own arrangements!”
Jiang Nan paused. Yao Hong made for quite an interesting boss!
He saw none of the expected ruthlessness and cruelty of the underground world in her.
“I’ll listen to Boss!”
Yao Hong smiled lightly. “My name is Yao Hong. Don’t slip up. Let’s go!”
Saying this, she hooked Jiang Nan’s arm and pulled it into her embrace.
Yao Hong was very tall. In high heels beside Jiang Nan, she reached his eyebrows.
Yao Hong looked at Jiang Nan in surprise. “Why are you stiffening up?”
Then she laughed. “Nervous? Or shy? Giggle giggle. We’re both girls. What’s there to be shy about!”
She slapped his back. “Come on!”
Jiang Nan took a deep breath.
Jiang Fat Red! You’ve got this. You’re Gu Xiaowei right now. Can’t even act naturally?
All those little treasuries would have been for nothing?
Jiang Nan smoothly slipped an arm around Yao Hong’s waist. Yao Hong also paused.
Jiang Nan smiled. “This looks more natural!”
The two left the room, heading straight for the banquet hall.
…
In the downstairs bathroom, the awakened Gu Xiaowei looked utterly terrified.
She found herself bound hand and foot with spirit-binding chains, locked in the bathroom.
What the hell was that chubby red creature with a jiojio on its head?
How could it have tied her up here without Boss noticing?
Where was Boss? Was Boss in danger? Was that creature from the Blood Alliance?
Gu Xiaowei’s mind raced wildly. She was nearly frantic. What kind of airtight binding was this? How long would it take to undo?
Had she been captured?
Why was this the second time she was captured in a bathroom!
Hang on! Why second?
Shouldn’t it be the first?
But the thoroughly trussed Gu Xiaowei could only make faint “mmph mmph mmph!” sounds, unable to do anything else.
Yet at this moment in the banquet hall, the Blood Alliance’s top brass had already arrived!
