No one recognized him.
Until the man was politely escorted out by security.
Jiang Yiyi sighed inwardly.
What a pity, she didn't have time to linger here today.
She glanced at the time on her watch, confirming it was about time.
Jiang Yiyi straightened up, picked up her handbag from the side, and walked away in the opposite direction without looking back.
And the one who had been watching her every move – her brother.
Jiang Dalei, who witnessed everything, was very satisfied.
His subordinate called to inform him that he must keep a close eye on the person, and then asked Jiang Dalei, "Big Brother, how should we 'arrange' that kid?"
Jiang Dalei felt a sense of relief. The man his sister cared so much about, the man she was willing to commit suicide for, she now didn't recognize.
Did this mean that the memory-erasing treatment erased people who were so important?
It seemed he held a similar position in his sister's heart.
Jiang Dalei chuckled, suddenly feeling at ease, looking almost naive.
"Let him go, and never let that kid come near Yiyi again."
Although the subordinate was completely baffled.
They had spent so much time and resources finding the person, finally found him, brought him here, almost let him escape, then caught him again, and now Big Brother casually said "Let him go."
But who was he to question his Big Brother!
The subordinate tidied up his complex emotions and responded crisply, "Understood, Big Brother."

Wen Bai walked on the red carpet. He was heading back, and to leave this place, he had to pass through the main hall where the exit was.
"Let... let me go... I won't have any more ideas about you!" the little system cried.
System 001 weighed the situation, this unassuming little system was quite troublesome.
System 001: "If you want to leave, shut up now!"
The other party reluctantly fell silent.
System 001, being upright and proper, wouldn't stoop to dealing with such a small system, and naturally wouldn't do anything to it.
Moreover, in human terms, there couldn't be two tigers on one mountain; how could one host have two systems!
However, to prevent the other party from harboring any lingering ambitions, even if it were to be released, it wouldn't be now.
The passing waiters, upon seeing Wen Bai's attire, confirmed he was an invited distinguished guest.
They would all proactively keep a distance, nodding from afar.
However, if anyone were to look closely now, they would notice a sickly flush on Wen Bai's cheeks, making him seem somewhat unwell.
Wen Bai himself had also noticed something was amiss with his condition.
He felt cold one moment, and the next, his entire head felt as if it were covered by a layer of something, his head throbbing with heat that hindered his thinking.
System 001's voice sounded, certain, though phrased as a question: "Host, do you have a fever?"
At this moment.
Wen Bai quickened his pace, raising his hand as he walked, and slowly touched his forehead. He said expressionlessly, "Yes."
But he didn't have time to deal with this now.
The problem he faced was that he couldn't get back by himself. He needed to find Su Ying, or anyone with a car.
He had to get the male lead under control to prevent him from messing things up.
The hall was too crowded, Wen Bai's vision blurred. He strained to look around but couldn't find Su Ying. The place where he had put the food was gone, the plate full of food also missing.
His gaze shifted back; he hadn't eaten a bite yet, which was a bit regrettable.
At that time, Wen Bai was still hesitating whether to take a bit of each dish when System 001 suddenly announced that other systems were nearby, and he had immediately pursued them.
He hadn't forgotten that they were on the run.
Fortunately, this little system, despite its lack of ability, was bold enough. Even if the host was a mere mouse, it still wanted to hoard points, so it hadn't contacted other systems.
Wen Bai stopped.
Right, his phone was out of battery. He had given it to a waiter to charge. He needed to ask about it.
He was truly delirious from the fever.
Calling would definitely be faster than searching like this.
Wen Bai casually removed the tiger mask he had been wearing, which was making him uncomfortable, asked a waiter where his phone was, and then headed outside.
Reaching the entrance, Wen Bai saw the waiter holding a small tray with phones placed on it. Just as he was about to approach,
"Su... Dr. Su..." a voice he seemed to have heard before rang out.
Wen Bai turned his head.
It was that man with a distorted face, Aunt Wang's son, who now looked quite normal with no expression.
What was he doing here?
Wen Bai ignored him, but his shoulder was grabbed.
He hadn't expected the other party to still have some strength.
Not wanting to waste time, Wen Bai quickly said, "You're looking for Su Ying? He's not here."
And prepared to leave.
The other party smiled, his face turning terrifying again. He shook his distorted, frightening head, then stopped and continued, "No, Dr.... Su... is... looking for you... outside..."
"Su Ying is looking for me? You know where he is?"
The man nodded.
Wen Bai scrutinized the man, as if every moment was a waste of time, as if he didn't want to delay for a second.
"Since he's looking for me, then tell him to come find me directly, and also, take your hand off."
He hadn't forgotten what the taxi driver had said. Even though he didn't know what this man wanted, he didn't have time to waste here.
As if surprised by Wen Bai's response, the man blankly, instinctively removed his hand and stood there watching Wen Bai's retreating back.
Wen Bai got his phone, immediately tapped and dialed: "Where are you now?"
Su Ying: "Handling some business, what's up?"
"I need to go back now."
"Want to go back? I'll come out now."
"Then I'll go get the car first," Wen Bai said.
There was a pause on the other end: "Okay, see you at the entrance."
"Mm." Wen Bai hung up, grabbed the car keys, and headed towards the parking lot.
Wen Bai's head was a bit hazy from the fever, but he was still pushing through.
System 001: "Host, that ugly person is still following you."
Wen Bai, who had already reached the parking lot, paused and glanced back.
The man stopped a few steps behind him.
Wen Bai thought for a moment: "Aunt Wang's work has nothing to do with me."
The man blinked.
Wen Bai became a little impatient and ignored him.
He opened the car door.
"Host, the male lead is in the parking lot, straight ahead," System 001 reminded him.
Then, Wen Bai saw Yu Yang being pushed by a burly man in the parking lot.
Yu Yang patted himself off and turned to leave.
The man who pushed him got into a car and drove away.
Although he didn't know what had happened, or how this person had managed to get so far and coincidentally arrived here.
But this didn't stop Wen Bai's determination to catch him.
Before Wen Bai could speak, the man with the distorted face behind him suddenly started waving his hands and shouting, "Ahhhhhh~" as if very excited.
This seemed to be directed at Yu Yang?
Yu Yang saw the person he had been kidnapped with. Although it was a vexing situation at the moment,
He didn't understand who had kidnapped him, kept him imprisoned for so long, then moved him to another place, and then inexplicably released him.
However, the man who had been imprisoned with him, despite his less-than-pleasant appearance, had shared hardships with him. He nodded at him.
Though he wasn't sure if the other party could see him.
But then, he looked closely and realized that beside that man was someone he knew.
Yu Yang really didn't have a good impression of Wen Bai.
He prepared to leave.
But just then, before he could shift his gaze, he saw the man with the distorted face pull something from his pocket and raise it high towards Wen Bai.
Wen Bai was still looking in Yu Yang's direction.
Yu Yang shouted loudly: "Be careful!"
"Host, behind you!" System 001 screamed.
Wen Bai had already reacted quickly, but with the fever, his body's response couldn't keep up. He felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, something was jabbed in, his vision went black, and he collapsed.
From a distance, Yu Yang's increasingly close voice could be heard: "What the hell are you doing!"
