What exactly is a "seed"
On the way to see Jiang Zhaoyan, Qi Cong kept thinking about this question.
He was sitting in the back seat of the taxi with his hat on, his backpack on his lap, his hand gently stroking the outline of the dagger through the fabric of the backpack, his head slightly sideways, and looking out the window at the bustling street scene receding quickly.
Judging from the memories he spied on, the tasker seemed to want the "seed" to fall in love with him, or to make the "seed" have a strong emotional connection with him.
In a certain memory fragment, the tasker once said to a "colleague", "Eight worlds have passed, and the 'seed' has been raised almost, and feelings are no longer so difficult to catalyze, and the difficulty is much weaker". The tasker also said that "seeds" are cold in nature, ruthless and ignorant.
Therefore, the tasker wants to make the "seed" not cold and thin through his dedication to the "seed" in every life
If you compare it with planting crops, it means that the work of the tasker is nourishment, and he wants to use this nourishment to catalyze the weak feelings in the nature of the cold and thin "seed", and nourish those feelings. Then, when the little emotion in the nature of the "seed" has grown to a certain extent under the nourishment of life after life, is the "seed" considered to be well-raised
Is that right? But what is the use of "seeds" after they are raised
Judging from the dialogue between the tasker and the "colleague", the tasker is very sure to raise the "seed" in this world, and this seems to be the tasker's last mission opportunity. Once this fails, the tasker's Ask for soup.
It seems that the place where the quest person can do the quest with confidence seems to have been damaged. Therefore, Jiang Zhaoyan in this life is the only opportunity for the quest person to complete the task and gain a new life.
Qi Cong's hand that was stroking the outline of the dagger unconsciously exerted force, and turned into the corner of the dagger.

Is the tasker going to ruin his life for the sake of his new life
"Hey, is there an event in the Nanyang business district today? Why are there so many flowers and balloons in it? It looks strangely cool in this summer."
The words of the driver in the front seat shocked Qi Cong from his dark thoughts, and a familiar word made him loose his hand holding the dagger, and instinctively looked out the window.
On the large square in the densely populated business district, a large swath of water-blue flowers and balloons hovered up from the circular decorative pillars of the square. Through the silver-white ribbons above, they were tangled and tangled to build a bird's nest-like water above the square. The blue dome is exquisite and grand, very beautiful.
At the very center under the dome, a musical fountain is slowly spraying water. The water flow of the fountain is very finely adjusted, and it is lined with blue lights. Under the shadow of the dome, when it explodes, it looks like a night rain falling.
Qi Cong opened his eyes wide, then quickly lowered his head and raised his hand to press his hat down, and said to the driver, "Why did you get here?"
"Ah?" The driver looked a little confused. "If you want to go to Nantong Road, you must go through Nanyang Road, otherwise you will have to make a big circle."
Qi Cong was stunned for a moment, picked up the phone and called up the navigation to have a look, and realized that the meeting place Jiang Zhaoyan had chosen was actually near the Nanyang Cinema.
Coincidence, or God's will.
Yet another bad joke.
There was a traffic light ahead, the taxi stopped, Qi Cong couldn't help but look towards the square again. Because of the angle, this time he actually saw the signboard of Nanyang Cinema hanging on the outer wall of a building on the south side of the square...and the huge poster of "Tianwen" above.
The man in black with the sword in his arms stood at the top of the flagpole, his face was mostly covered by the hood, and only the outline of his lower jaw was exposed.
Qi Cong stared at the poster in a daze, remembering Gu Xun's phrase "see you or leave" on the phone yesterday, imagining Gu Xun waiting in a certain place in this building, and she took a step forward emotionally, and blurted out: "Stop the car. "
"Huh?" The red light passed, and the driver was starting. Hearing that, he looked at Qi Cong in the rearview mirror, "Are you afraid that I won't be able to turn around in the traffic jam ahead? It's alright, the corner ahead is Nantong Road. , there shouldn't be any traffic jams there."
Qi Cong regained his senses, and after realizing what he said, he tried to change his mind, but he said, "It's okay, just let me down here... I just happened to be going to the mall to buy something."
Two minutes later, the taxi found a place to stop at the west corner of the Nanyang business district square. After paying the money, Qi Cong pushed the door and got out of the car, turned and looked in the direction of Nanyang Cinema.
On the weekend, there are people coming and going in the business district square. Many people are holding their mobile phones and taking pictures of the balloon flowers above.
Different from the lively scene in the square, the entrance to the Nanyang Cinema with the escalator going up on the side is very deserted, and there is a sign on it that the business is closed and the voucher is in and out.
Suspension of business... Did Gu Xun do it
Qi Cong lowered her eyes, then turned around and walked.
The prelude to "Rebirth" suddenly sounded, Qi Cong stopped abruptly, turned his head towards the sound, and then found in a daze that "The outdoor advertising screen of the theater that was still showing various advertisements and movie promotional videos suddenly played " Reborn" mv.
"Huh? This song... "
"You know this song, it's very popular these days. The person who sings is called Qi... I heard that Shen Jia, Lian... and Gu Xun... "
Not far away, two girls heard the singing and stopped to look in the direction of the cinema, and then walked away talking. Qi Cong was shocked by their words, looked at them, and looked at the poster of "Tianwen" next to the advertising screen on the outer wall of the cinema.
His works and Gu Xun's works are next to each other, as if he has really recovered and stood by Gu Xun's side.
But it was just a self-indulgent deception.
He could never appear by Gu Xun's side.
Qi Cong's inner emotions fell a little bit. He took out his mobile phone and took a picture of the advertisement screen and the poster of "Tianwen". He stared at the picture for a few seconds before turning around and leaving without looking back.
Jiang Zhaoyan agreed to meet at a relatively quiet tea bar. Qi Cong followed the waiter to the second floor of the tea bar, and before entering the box, he said to the waiter, "Please pay more attention to this place later." After speaking, the waiter stared blankly. He pushed open the door directly and walked in.
Jiang Zhaoyan, who was sitting on the inner side of the box, heard the words and looked over. His hair is a little long, and it probably hasn't been trimmed for a while, but his clothes are very neat and clean, his brows are habitually wrinkled, and he has a bit of arrogance and power that is used to the role of a superior.
This is the "seed", the origin of everything.
Facing Jiang Zhaoyan's gaze, Qi Cong closed the door with his backhand, raised his hand and took off the peaked cap on his head and the backpack he carried on one shoulder, walked over to Jiang Zhaoyan, pulled out the chair and sat down, looked at Jiang Zhaoyan, and said nothing.
Jiang Zhaoyan also looked at Qi Cong, and looked at Qi Cong carefully from top to bottom, then from bottom to top, then set his eyes on Qi Cong's face, sweeping around Qi Cong's expression, his brows were wrinkled. Tighter: "You've changed so much."
Qi Cong still didn't speak, and kept his hands loose on the backpack, feeling the dagger inside.
He looked at Jiang Zhaoyan, but he didn't look at Jiang Zhaoyan. He was thinking, if the "seed" was gone, would the tasker disappear completely and everyone around him would no longer be hurt.
If so…
"Qi Cong, I don't mean to threaten you, I just want to tell you something in person, so that you won't regret it later." Jiang Zhaoyan took the initiative to pour a glass of water for Qi Cong, probably never said softening, so his tone sounded a little bit Stiff, "Since your accident, you have been avoiding my contact, and the people around you have been preventing me from meeting you. I can probably know what they have instilled in you, I will not explain too much, just clarify, I I never deliberately used and squeezed you, and I only learned about many things when the news broke."
Jiang Zhaoyan took out the document bag from behind him, took out a card and pushed it in front of Qi Cong: "Zhaoqiang has been asking you for money and asking you to open a card for his consumption, I never knew about it, there are two million in it, It should be enough to fill the hole in your credit card."
Qi Cong glanced at the card on the table, but didn't answer it, and didn't speak.
Jiang Zhaoyan waited for two seconds, frowned, and took out a document from his bag and put it in front of Qi Cong: "And this, I promised you before that Yanhuang's shares have your share, I didn't give it to you before. You, because Yanhuang is expanding too fast, I need a large share of shares to stabilize my position, and now Yanhuang is gone..."
He frowned again, seeming to suppress his emotions, and continued: "I divided the funds for selling Yan Huang. This is 30% of yours, you can take it."
Thirty percent, from the perspective of a bystander, the tasker only deserves thirty percent of the resources that Yan Huang has been fed by the Qi family for the past three years
Qi Cong rubbed her fingers on the backpack, finally opened her mouth and asked, "That's what you want to see me for?"
Jiang Zhaoyan saw Qi Cong speak, his body posture was obviously relaxed, and his tone was no longer so mild, and he replied: "Of course I didn't look for you for these, these are just incidental. I said, I'm looking for you this time, mainly The purpose is to not want you to regret it in the future. Qi Cong, your memory now stays before you and I met, right?"
Qi Cong didn't answer.
Jiang Zhaoyan didn't wait for his answer, and continued: "Everything you know about me comes from the indoctrination of others, you never thought, maybe they are lying to you?"
Qi Cong replied blankly, "My parents and Shen Jia won't lie to me."
"But Gu Xun will." Jiang Zhaoyan took out several documents from his backpack, pushed them all in front of Qi Cong, looked at Qi Cong with the look of a fool who was deceived by everyone, and said, "Gu Xun has a deep background. , Since the establishment of Yan Huang, he has been suppressing Yan Huang's development through various means. After you lose your memory and forget me, his actions will not restrain. The reason why Yan Huang collapsed so quickly is all because of him behind the scenes. Adding fuel to the flames. Also, I suspect Miki's bankruptcy is also his handiwork."
Qi Cong raised his eyes suddenly, stared at Jiang Zhaoyan, and asked, "Gu Xun...'s handwriting?"
Jiang Zhaoyan's face sank when Qi Cong looked at him, then he frowned and held back, indicating the documents: "I know that you are hostile to me, and you don't believe what I said, so I brought evidence, these are the people on the table I'm looking for. Check it out, you can take a look."
Qi Cong suppressed her emotions little by little, looked at the documents on the table, and finally released her hand that was on the backpack and opened the top document.
A document about Miki's cooperation with a foreign company during an important period of transformation appeared in front of us. The information shows that Miki once wanted to complete the final transformation through cooperation with this foreign company, but in the end, this cooperation failed, and Miki invested all of it in the early stage. It was a waste of water, and the losses were heavy.
Jiang Zhaoyan explained from the sidelines: "I found out that this company was run by a cousin of Gu Xun, and before I approached Sanmu, this company had never cooperated with a domestic company."
The content of the information is very complete, and the evidence that Cousin Gu Xun is the person in charge of the company behind the scenes is also very solid. In other words, Gu Xun really had contact with Miki through the hands of relatives.
Qi Cong let go of the hand holding the document, a little stunned.
He doesn't know any of this... What did Gu Xun want to do in Miki's business
"Qi Cong, Gu Xun is not as good as you think, he has been lying to you, don't be too naive, how could someone from his family really wait for you to love you for so many years? It's not love at all, it's just a perverted possessiveness."
Jiang Zhaoyan seemed to have held his breath for too long and finally had an outlet, and his words became more and more rigid. Seeing that Qi Cong didn't move, he leaned over to help Qi Cong open the next document and pushed it in front of Qi Cong: "In order to get you , he can do anything vile and dirty you can think of and can't think of. After you fell ill three years ago, he still frequently carried me behind my back even when I clearly told him that your state was not suitable for further stimulation Contacted you and tried to take you to mandatory memory recovery treatment. You were afraid of him and kept avoiding him. He found a way to kidnap you without ever being able to see you."
Qi Cong's thoughts suddenly returned to the cage and looked at Jiang Zhaoyan.
Jiang Zhaoyan clicked the document in front of Qi Cong forcefully: "He used someone else's shell to trick me into going to the hotel opened by his house under the pretext of talking about business, locked me there, and then used me as a threat to force you to go there. You Go, and then he turned to lock you, wanted to take you away, and tried to hurt me. The wound on your back was cut by Gu Xun in that kidnapping incident, and you blocked that knife for me at that time... "
Jiang Zhaoyan stopped when he said this, his tone was a little slower, and his expression was much gentler, and he continued: "If you weren't injured, he wouldn't let us leave at all. After that time, he was probably afraid and didn't let go. I finally stopped appearing in front of you. I originally wanted to call the police, but you stopped me and said that I didn’t want to make enemies for me when my career was just starting. Qi Cong, take a good look at this, am I really what they say? You look so disgusting, whether Gu Xun is really helping you, take a good look! Gu Xun clearly wants to beat me, and then your parents, leaving you helpless and nothing, forcing you to find him, beg him!"
Qi Cong bowed his head and saw a picture of Gu Xun standing outside the hospital gate with blood on his body and looking into the door. In the photo, Gu Xun's face was tense and frantic, his eyes were red, and he looked fierce and embarrassed.
His heart throbbed, and he wanted to reach out and pull the photo into his hand, but Jiang Zhaoyan suddenly covered the document and went to open the remaining copies.
"And these, I knew that Gu Xun would not give up, so he sold Yan Huang in time, but he kept making small moves. First, he used various methods to set up a trap for me, trying to lure me into a trap and defraud the rest of my hands. Chips, and then started to block all the resources I could get. Not only that, my brother, my parents, my cousins... all the people I had a relationship with, he was looking for ways to get them into the lawsuit. First Zhaoqiang's credit card fraud, then Jiang Tian's embezzlement and embezzlement, and my parents' illegal lending, all of which are page after page, he wants to force my Jiang family to die!"
When Jiang Zhaoyan was angry, he suddenly slapped the document hard, got up and approached Qi Cong across the table, and said, "Qi Cong, this is what Gu Xun really looks like, he is a lunatic and perverted! Don't be deceived by him again. , Now that you are in the entertainment industry, you are in his territory, and you can only be at his mercy in the future. When he gets tired of you in the future, what do you think he will do to you with his nature?"
The messy documents were scattered on the table, covering most of Gu Xun's photo, and the remaining half was just pressed under Jiang Zhaoyan's palm.
Qi Cong retracted the hand that wanted to reach for the photo, raised his head to meet Jiang Zhaoyan's gaze, and said in a cold and deep tone, "Are you done?"
Jiang Zhaoyan came into contact with Qi Cong's cold and aggressive eyes, choked with anger, and slowly straightened up: "You..."
"Is this your purpose? To provoke the relationship between me and Gu Xun, and want me to put pressure on Gu Xun, to make trouble with Gu Xun, so that he will no longer target you and your family?"
Jiang Zhaoyan realized that something was wrong, his expression changed a little bit, and finally he settled on anger and coldness: "Qi Cong, I told you so much and presented so much evidence, you really didn't—"
"But," Qi Cong interrupted Jiang Zhaoyan's words. After Jiang Zhaoyan got up, he stretched out his hand to open the table full of documents, picked up the photo of Gu Xun, carefully wiped the place where Jiang Zhaoyan was pressing, looked up at Jiang Zhaoyan, and continued, " If you hadn't tried to attack Gu Xun with the knife first, how could Gu Xun accidentally scratched me, who had to rush to protect you when he grabbed the knife in your hand?"
