Chapter 309: Substituting One Thing for Another

When Fang Shenyan heard this, the light in his pupils disappeared for a moment, and then he turned his head suddenly.

For some reason, the door of the branch was blown open by the wind, and a large amount of snow and wind rolled into the conference room, blinding his eyes.

Ji Li watched Fang Shenyan's back, gradually moving towards the night outside, holding the old card in his hand.

"Mr. Fang Shenyan, you should pack your luggage and get ready to go."

The door seemed to be opened at the instruction of the female voice, with the purpose of urging the two to leave quickly.

After Fang Shenyan's eyes flickered a few times, he stood up and left the conference room without looking at Ji Li again.

Ji Li frowned, looking at the huge hall where he was left alone, put the old card in his arms, and raised his head.

"What do you want to tell me?"

The female voice sent Fang Shenyan away, dispersed all the staff, and left only Ji Li alone, obviously she had something to say.

Ji Li also understood this very well, and presumably what the female voice was going to say next would have a great connection with his mission, or be of great help.

"I know the mission on the new card, but you probably don't want to know it through me.

I also believe that you can rely on yourself and definitely get through this mission safely and take the position of the real store manager.

But I still want to give you a gift before you leave..."

The female voice was so light that it seemed ethereal and melodious under the blessing of the wind and snow.

She did not have a shape, but in front of Ji Li, she outlined the image of a woman. She was not very good-looking, but she was kind and not good at expressing herself.

Ji Li did not express anything about this, and stood there silently until a photo appeared on the table in front of him.

This is also an old photo, but it is very well preserved, but there are some wrinkles and yellowing at the corners.

It seems that the female voice used means to make it look more decent before getting it.

The first time Ji Li saw it, he forgot to breathe. There was a woman in the photo. He was very familiar with that woman. It was Haruyama Mirai.

Haruyama Mirai stood in front of the camera, with a ponytail, showing a row of clean teeth and smiling happily. There was also a long-haired man not far away in the camera.

It was just that the man had his back to the camera, as if he was studying a book at the table. His face could not be seen, but Ji Li knew that the man was himself.

This photo should have been taken by Chun Shan Mirai in his spare time fifty years ago.

The reason why she smiled so happily... maybe she was playing with her girlish nature and secretly took a satisfactory photo with her lover.

Ji Li stroked the photo, with a complex light of confusion and nostalgia in his eyes, and turned the back.

There was a line of beautiful small words on it:

"On February 13, 1961, Chun Shan and Ji Li took their first photo together. What will the future be like?"

Ji Li actually felt no joy in his heart when he saw this photo, especially the woman's beautiful expectations for the future and her longing for love.

He knew that he had never loved her in his life, and she would soon be reduced to ashes.

They were not qualified to have a future.

"Why give me this?"

Ji Li's heart was not calm, but he put the photo in his arms, next to his heart.

"Last time you talked to me about Chunshan Weilai, I felt that such an ending was very unfair to a woman, so I wanted you to make it up to her as much as possible.

Even if it's only fifty years later, you have her photo on you."

The female voice became somewhat sentimental, revealing an unknown emotion.

"Where did you get it from?" Ji Li looked at the position of the loudspeaker suspiciously and asked.

"This is also the second thing I want to tell you. This photo was obtained from the first branch, and it was very well protected."

When the female voice said this, there was still a hint of disbelief, and then she said decisively:

"Think about the furnishings in the photo again. There is clearly a shadow of the hotel, which means that you, Chunshan Weilai, Tongguan's parents, including those in the old photo...

Fifty years ago, you were already part of the hotel, and you worked for the first branch!"

This was a huge piece of information, which shocked Ji Li so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.

He had imagined his past identity and had considered being a clerk, but he thought he was always a member of the seventh branch.

But he never expected that he would be a clerk of the first branch!

"Mr. Ji Li, the main reason I help you so much is that besides our souls being close, I also need your help.

I once said that when you redeem yourself one day, you have to help me."

The female voice became lower and lower, and finally disappeared.

At the same time, Fang Shenyan also returned to the first floor lobby from upstairs with a bag on his back, and stood beside Ji Li.

"What are you talking about?" Fang Shenyan pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and glanced at the loudspeaker.

Ji Li frowned and ignored him. He took half a minute to adjust his state, and then pretended that nothing happened and stretched his muscles.

"I remember you can drive, right?"

Fang Shenyan nodded, and then turned around and left without asking anything.

Ji Li's intention was very clear. If you want to dispose of the body, you must need a means of transportation. It is absolutely impossible to take three body bags to take a taxi.

There are also some requirements for selecting a vehicle. You must not choose a model that is too high-profile or too shabby, otherwise it will only attract attention.

For these two top clerks, there is no need to communicate about this matter. A glance is enough.

Fang Shenyan's figure completely disappeared in the wind and snow, but Ji Li walked into the bathroom, simply washed his face and changed into the same clothes.

The trip to Fengcheng made Ji Li's clothes no different from a beggar, and the necessary clothes were also required for this mission.

In less than five minutes, Ji Li saw Fang Shenyan standing at the door of the hall.

Ji Li held a handbag in each hand and the other was tucked under his arm, and walked to the door with great effort.

"You just watch?"

Ji Li had already put the handbag on the ground, but Fang Shenyan still did not take it after taking a look, and opened the driver's door with empty hands.

"I can drive, but you can't. To be fair, you should do some heavy work."

...

The car Fang Shenyan chose was a domestic civilian car that has been selling well in recent years and is very practical. This kind of car is the least likely to be noticed because it is everywhere on the street.

Ji Li touched the somewhat hard seat, adjusted his sitting position and asked, "Where did you get it from?"

"I stole it from the parking lot next to it by picking the lock."

"Steal it?"

Ji Li frowned as soon as he heard it. Stealing a car is simply the most basic mistake. They should have concealed their tracks. Why would they go against the wind and steal a car?

However, Fang Shenyan would understand this truth, so there must be another reason.

As expected, Fang Shenyan opened the luggage bag at hand without Ji Li asking.

"I changed into the same gray casual clothes as Tongguan in advance, and walked around under the surveillance with a hat on.

After the owner called the police, he would first lock the car thief, or even the person who dumped the body in the future, on Tongguan."
