Though Brother Jiang did say earlier that he was busy, this kind of hurriedly and abruptly hanging up the phone was still very abnormal.
Brother Jiang and Notch have known each other for so many years, and when Notch needed help, he did not hesitate at all to throw away his job abroad and rush back to take care of Notch.
Just based on this point, it can be confirmed that he definitely would not harm Notch.
His abnormal behavior of being unwilling to mention the past was probably because there were some hidden matters that he did not want Notch to know.
Hearing the "beep beep" sound from the other side of the phone, Notch was also somewhat disappointed, originally thinking that he could get something out of Brother Jiang's mouth, but ended up with nothing.
Thinking of this, Notch couldn't help but sigh. "Forget it, better handle the company matters first..."
Although Notch very much wanted to figure out what exactly had happened, Notch still did not dare to personally step into the void. That area was like a demonic trap, and Notch's heart had not yet built up the courage to unravel the mystery.
After hanging up the phone, Notch slightly adjusted his emotions and then went to the meeting.
Though he had already sent the few key points he wanted to say to Rookie's phone just now, but Rookie, this person, probably only has 1KB of brain capacity on normal days, even if it was sent to him, he might still forget to check his phone.
Ever since mixing with Rookie, Notch had exhausted his heart trying to prevent him from being fired.

After Brother Jiang hung up the phone, he let out a long breath.
But he also knew very well that those tricks just now definitely couldn't fool Notch. But what he could be sure of was that the matter from back then had caused too great a shadow on Notch, even now Notch still had not come out of it.
According to Notch's personality, he would always do everything he could to achieve his goals. And now that he had already taken a step forward and entered the game.
If he really wanted to know clues about the void, he would definitely have gone directly, there was no need to bother giving Brother Jiang a call at all.
So Brother Jiang was very sure that Notch still hadn't walked out of the shadow. Brother Jiang looked at the busy programmers in the company, thought for a moment, and finally made a decision.
"I'll go handle some matters, you guys continue working overtime, if there are any issues, come to my office."
Brother Jiang also wasn't lying, he indeed was quite busy, the game he was developing was about to open for public testing.
In the past few months, he had been eating, drinking, sleeping, and everything else in the company just to rush the schedule.
If this matter wasn't related to Notch and the events of that year, Brother Jiang would definitely not leave his post.
After giving instructions to his subordinates, Brother Jiang also arrived at the office. He came to the game pod and lay inside. Then opened Minecraft and logged into the game.
Brother Jiang himself had an account, back when Notch's game had open testing, Brother Jiang had registered and also entered the game to play, and even gave some constructive suggestions for the game.
After logging into the game, though Brother Jiang had nothing on him, basically like a starting account, with just over half an hour of effort, Brother Jiang had collected some Ender Pearls and Blaze Powder and had found the stronghold.
This counted as Brother Jiang's second time logging into the game, the first time he also didn't play for long, basically just entering the game with admin privileges.
But Brother Jiang still showed a very skilled appearance in this game. This was also because before Notch made the holographic version of Minecraft, he had already completed a sample for the PC version.
Brother Jiang and some of Notch's friends had already cleared this game before it was even released. Brother Jiang counted as an old veteran player, so he was very skilled.
Originally he could have entered the End faster, mainly because the Nether had now become a wasteland, the roads were really hard to walk. Plus, various monsters had also been greatly strengthened under Xu Yuan's influence, which was why it took half an hour to reach the End.
After arriving at the End Island, Brother Jiang looked around, seemed like there was nothing unusual. Brother Jiang seeing this couldn't help but feel a bit confused.
"Was I overthinking it or was Notch overthinking it?..."
After thinking for a while, Brother Jiang decided to first prepare some gunpowder and paper, make some firework rockets, then find an Elytra, and then go explore inside the void.
Having made a plan, Brother Jiang left the End.
Right after Brother Jiang left, an Enderman with glowing red eyes teleported to the spot where Brother Jiang had just left.
Not long after the Enderman appeared, a mass of red aura also appeared in the void. The red aura opened and closed, communicating with the Enderman whose eyes were glowing red.
"Why do you want to stop me?! This is an opportunity!"
Hearing the words of the red aura, the Enderman with glowing red eyes shook his head and said, "Opportunity? What opportunity?"
"An opportunity for us to be completely destroyed?"
The red aura seemed to not quite understand what the Enderman meant, and then said, "How could that be?"
"You should know very well who he is, right?"
The Enderman with glowing red eyes nodded and said, "Of course. It's precisely because I know who he is that I understand how dangerous he is!"
"Don't forget, his relationship with Notch. Do you think he would let Notch stand on our side?!"
Hearing the Enderman's words, the red aura was still a bit puzzled. "That can't be said for sure, right?"
"He is now our only chance to contact Notch!"
The Enderman with glowing red eyes shook his head, denying the red aura's words, and then said, "The blue Ender Eye from the Wither Storm core that was sent last time is already in Notch's hands. As long as he remembers what happened before, it will be the time for him to make his choice."
"I hope he makes the decision alone, I don't want anyone to interfere with his choice or give him advice."
Hearing the Enderman's words, the red aura was silent for a moment, let out a long sigh, and asked the Enderman, "If in the end he doesn't choose to stand with us?"
Hearing the red aura's words, the Enderman seemed to be touched, his emotions suddenly exploded.
"Impossible! He will definitely stand on our side!"
"It was he who left us, abandoned us! Betrayed us! That's why we were defeated by those ants, trapped in this endless void!"
"If he still has a conscience, the only choice is to stand on our side!"
Seeing the Enderman's almost insane state, the red aura seemed to have realized that he was no longer the person he used to know.
He had already gradually lost his original self, his heart had already been filled with hatred. He even spoke out such things as Notch betrayed and abandoned them.
Seeing the Enderman so crazed, the red aura didn't want to say anything more.
Actually, no matter what he said or did, it was useless. Because they were already bound together, if the red aura wanted to continue living in this world, he could only cooperate with him.
Thinking of this, he also calmed his emotions, thought for a while, and said to the Enderman, "The fact that we ended up like this today was entirely our own choice. No one betrayed or abandoned us."
Hearing the red aura's words, the Enderman snorted coldly, "You really haven't changed a bit. Still this neither yin nor yang, lukewarm, always maintaining a neutral attitude in everything."
"Don't you know that sometimes not making a choice is the wrong choice! I really don't understand, what's the point of living like you?"
"If you had at least done something back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this now!"
"..."
The red consciousness body possessing the Enderman was about to continue ridiculing, but after thinking for a bit, since the two were in the same boat, there was no need to tear faces, and finally held back.
He calmed his emotions for a while and then said, "Rest assured, Notch has already started to pay attention to this world. Our plan is also proceeding very smoothly. Oh right, also..."
The red consciousness body possessing the Enderman said this, seemed to remember something, and then smiled.
"HIM seems to be trapped or something, anyway now he can't come to stop our plan."
Saying this, he also let out a long breath, finally showing a satisfied expression on his face.
"The progress of things is really quite satisfying. Believe it won't be long before we can leave this damned place!"
Hearing the Enderman's words, the red aura couldn't laugh at all. This kind of thing had already happened many times before.
The red consciousness body possessing the Enderman always envisioned things beautifully, always said his plan was perfect. But every time he encountered setbacks, he couldn't accept it.
After all, it was because he was too arrogant, couldn't accept his own failures. Or rather, he couldn't accept situations where things were out of his control.
Now the more beautifully he envisioned things, the more crazy he would become if something unexpected happened later.
At that time, who knew what irreparable things he would do.
In order to prevent such things from happening, the only thing the red aura could do was to give him an early warning. Let him first imagine these situations that might occur, and have some buffer for these situations.
Thinking of this, the red aura said, "If Notch doesn't stand on our side, how will you respond?"
Saying this, the red aura was also afraid that the red consciousness body possessing the Enderman would get angry again, and quickly added, "I'm just making an analogy..After all, it's best to plan for the worst in everything, this way there won't be too much disappointment."
The red aura understood the art of speaking. If he didn't add these few words, his words would sound like he was questioning the red consciousness body possessing the Enderman.
With these words added, it instantly became like he was doing risk assessment for him, for his own good.
