797 Finale (3)
Silence fell over the study room.
After a long while, Jiang Chenglang asked, “So you’re saying that the person who saved you back then was Xiao Yu?”
Jiang Xingyi nodded solemnly, “Although little sister didn’t admit it and I had no evidence to prove it, how could there be such coincidences? Moreover, my intuition tells me that it’s her. It can’t be anyone else, but I don’t understand…”
He could not understand why Jiang Yu didn’t admit that she had been to Shen City.
She had clearly been to Shen City, and she had even injured her throat. Moreover, he thought that with this look, he couldn’t have looked all too common. She should be able to recognize him when they met again.
Wait a minute!
Jiang Xingyi had a theory.
“Could it be that little sister lost her memory after she left Shen City?”
This was the only possibility. Otherwise, how could she not recognize him?
A dark look fell over Jiang Chenglang’s face. He thought of another possibility. “Maybe it’s because Xiao Yu doesn’t think that she did, so she won’t admit it.”
Jiang Xingyi was stunned. “You mean…”
Jiang Chenglang gave no explanation, and Jiang Xingyi’s expression slowly became solemn.
Jiang Zeyu was probably the only one among the four brothers of the Jiang family who didn’t believe in supernatural powers. Even if Jiang Xingyi didn’t say anything, it didn’t mean that he didn’t have such thoughts.
However, in Jiang Xingyi’s opinion, he was on the same page as Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Jingnian. They both loved their sister and didn’t care who she was.
“But this doesn’t make sense.” Jiang Xingyi pointed out the contradiction. “If little sister didn’t lose her memory and just didn’t admit it because she thought that she didn’t do it, then why does she have memories with Feng Linbai? Feng Linbai was from that time as well, right?”
Jiang Chenglang fell silent. He couldn’t find a reasonable explanation for this.
“I’m afraid that all of this can only be clarified after Xiao Yu wakes up.” Jiang Chenglang let out a faint sigh and put on his coat. “I’m going to Uncle An’s place.”
Jiang Xingyi: “Huh?”
Jiang Chenglang looked down. “I have something to confirm with Uncle An.”
On the way to An Yimin’s house, Jiang Chenglang gave Rong Qi a call.
“Check if Uncle An’s family went to that clubhouse five years ago.”
…
Jiang Chenglang, who had been sharing secrets with Jiang Xingyi, left just like that.
Jiang Xingyi’s mind became even more confused. He cursed Jiang Chenglang in his heart for not being loyal enough. He was also a little curious as to why Jiang Chenglang was in such a hurry to find Uncle An.
Jiang Xingyi couldn’t think of a reason and went upstairs to sleep. But after he fell asleep, he dreamt of Qiao Leshan. And Jiang Yu.
In the dream, Jiang Yu dragged Qiao Leshan and pushed her into his room.
Jiang Xingyi suddenly woke up.
He cursed. He opened his eyes and tossed and turned, but he couldn’t fall asleep anymore.
…
When Jiang Jingnian got home, he saw a shadow in the garden.
A spark in that person’s hand was flickering.
He had a vague inkling of who it was and called out uncertainly, “Big Brother?”
Jiang Chenglang turned around and took another puff of his cigarette. He let out a long breath and said, “You’re back.”
Jiang Jingnian knew that Jiang Chenglang only smoked when he was extremely frustrated. Jiang Chenglang smoking in the middle of the night showed that he was in an extremely bad mood.
When Jiang Yu had first fallen into a coma, Jiang Chenglang smoked all day long. His habit had reduced a lot lately, so why was he frustrated again?
Jiang Jingnian frowned and walked toward him. He asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with Little Sister?”
“No.” Jiang Chenglang shook his head. Then, he thought of something and said in a vague manner, “Yes.”
Jiang Jingnian was confused. “What is it?”
“Well…” Jiang Chenglang tapped the ash off his cigarette. He wanted to say something, but he didn’t know where to start. He sighed and said, “It’s a long story. It’s too coincidental and…”
Jiang Jingnian asked, “Is it related to Little Sister?”
Jiang Chenglang replied, “Yes.”
Jiang Jingnian brought over a stool and sat down. If it was someone else’s matter, he wouldn’t spare the time or be interested. But if it was related to Jiang Yu, even though he had been busy and hadn’t slept well in the past few days, he would prioritize his little sister.
Jiang Jingnian sat down and folded his hands into his lap as if he was ready to listen. “Go on. The night is still long, so there’s plenty of time.”
…
When Jiang Xingyi went downstairs, he met with the two statues in the garden and a pile of cigarette butts on the floor.
He blinked and looked at the time. Then, he looked at the two statues and asked suspiciously, “Have you guys been up all night or are you catching the sunrise?”
He looked at his phone again and said, “That’s not right. It’s cloudy today, so there will be no clear sunrise. Are you two guarding the door?”
Jiang Chenglang sneered and said, “Those dark circles under your eyes. Couldn’t sleep again?”
Jiang Xingyi fell silent. Of course, he hadn’t slept much either.
“If you guys were discussing poetry and philosophy, why didn’t you invite me?” Jiang Xingyi walked over while cursing.
However, as soon as he came over, Jiang Jingnian stood up and said, “I have to go. There’s something I have to look into at the institute.” Then, he strode away.
Jiang Xingyi said in disbelief, “Doesn’t he need to sleep? Is he made of iron?”
“Maybe he’s in a hurry to figure something out…” Jiang Chenglang looked at Jiang Jingnian’s departing figure and said meaningfully.
Jiang Chenglang then turned around and tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers. He looked at Jiang Xingyi with his deep eyes and said, “I got the results of your suspicions.
“It was Xiao Yu.”
Jiang Xingyi froze. It was one thing for him to have doubts and 90% confidence in his guesses, but it was another thing for him to have a definite answer.
It was like a loud bang had gone off in his mind. Dust flew through the air, but then it quickly settled again.
It was indeed her.
It was her.
But why did God trick him? He had gone around and around looking for answers back then, and he had missed them for such a long time.
Jiang Xingyi’s throat clenched. “So Little Sister lost her memory?”
“Maybe. Maybe not.” Jiang Chenglang shook his cigarette box. When he found it was empty, he remembered that he had to control himself from smoking anymore after smoking two packs last night.
He threw the cigarette box aside and twirled his fingers subconsciously. “Thanks to you, we also learned other facts.”
Jiang Chenglang said casually, “I was saved five years ago. It’s confirmed that the person who saved me was also Xiao Yu.”
Jiang Xingyi: “Huh?”
Jiang Chenglang chin-pointed toward the door. “And that one who just left, he was once saved by someone as well. The person who saved him might also be Xiao Yu. He went to confirm it.”
Jiang Xingyi: ???
He gripped the pillar beside him. He needed to calm down.
After a long while, Jiang Xingyi finally digested this explosive information. He asked weakly, “What about that idiot… he can’t… also…”
“Maybe. He was in a car accident two years ago.”
A few years ago, Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Zeyu were not on good terms, so he knew very little about what had happened. However, they weren’t so unfamiliar that Jiang Chenglang was unaware of the accident.
“So many things have happened, but Xiao Yu never mentioned any of them…
“If she had forgotten about us…”
Jiang Chenglang muttered to himself.
“What exactly happened to Xiaoyu…”
Jiang Xingyi gave no reply. He thought of the unbelievable and absurd dream last night, and he frowned deeply.
…
Jiang Xingyi didn’t respond to the plagiarism of the choreographers, and Zhong Na didn’t either. However, Jiang Xingyi’s mind was no longer on this matter.
He did not go to Uncle An to verify anything. He had already asked everything he needed to ask. He just looked through Jiang Yu’s information in detail.
Jiang Xingyi’s fingers skimmed over the photos of Jiang Yu from when she was young. His lips slowly curled into a smile.
His little sister had two braids when she was young. She had been so cute.
He did not know that in the director’s office at the Jiang Corporation, in the office at the X-Institute, and in the temporary office at the private hospital, the same things were being done.
At the hospital, Ke Yanbin reported, “Sir, Jiang Xingyi has found out about what happened in the past.”
“Okay.” Feng Linbai gave a curt response.
After a while, he raised his head. “Is there anything else?”
Ke Yanbin wanted to say something, but he hesitated. From the look on his face, he looked like he was constipated.
Feng Linbai lowered his head again. “If you’re constipated and can’t speak, go out and turn left. Go to the digestive department or the proctologist for treatment. After that, come back to see me.”
Ke Yanbin’s mouth twitched. “Sir…”
Feng Linbai: “You can tell me what it is now?”
“Well… the thing is…” Seeing the impatient look on Feng Linbai’s face, Ke Yanbin sped up his words. “When we were investigating Qiao Leshan, we found out that she was behind Jiang Xingyi’s previous injuries. Through our investigation, we also found out that it was Miss Jiang who saved Jiang Xingyi back then. According to your instructions, we…”
Feng Linbai raped his knuckles on the table and became even more impatient. “Get to the point.”
Ke Yanbin immediately skipped to the point. “After Jiang Xingyi found out about this news, he went back and told Jiang Chenglang. Jiang Chenglang had almost drowned five years ago at the Seaside Club. He was also saved by someone, so he suspects that it was Miss Jiang who saved him.
“I thought that Jiang Chenglang was dreaming, but after some investigating, I found out that it might really be Miss Jiang who saved him. Back then, she went on a business trip with An Yimin and happened to be at that club too…”
It was Feng Linbai’s turn to massage his forehead.
“It’s not over yet…” Ke Yanbin lowered his voice. “Jiang Chenglang lost his composure when he heard the news, and then Jiang Jingnian came home. They talked and smoked cigarettes for the whole night. In the end, he didn’t expect that Jiang Jingnian had gone on a mission to a remote town a few years ago and was pushed out of the way of a deathly explosion. Jiang Jingnian was also searching for the person who saved his life. He doesn’t know that person’s name and appearance. The only thing he knows is that the girl’s surname was An.”
Ke Yanbin told the story as if he had been lying on the ground and eavesdropping.
Feng Linbai exhaled. “Now, it’s Jiang Zeyu’s turn.”
“Jiang Zeyu is still at the race club, so he can’t participate in this family discussion, but…” Ke Yanbin dragged out his voice and said weakly, “Jiang Zeyu had a car accident in the mountains two years ago, and he was rescued by someone…”
Feng Linbai massaged the spot between his eyebrows.
Ke Yanbin kept quiet, but his heart was practically screaming.
Not even a TV series could write such a plot! Jiang Yu was the savior of her four brothers!
Had it really been just Jiang Yu?
They weren’t family and had all ended up in the same place, it was simply bad fate!
Feng Linbai didn’t say anything, and Ke Yanbin quietly waited for him to finish thinking.
After a long while, Ke Yanbin suddenly remembered that Jiang Yu had also saved his master. He went numb at this thought.
He began to think. With the favors that Jiang Yu had accumulated, she should be able to live out the rest of her life in luxury. But why… was she not arrogant despite all she had done?
Feng Linbai finally spoke, “Apart from Jiang Xingyi, has nothing happened to the other three members of the Jiang family recently?”
Ke Yanbin replied, “There are two troublemakers.”
Feng Linbai cleared his throat and said, “Keep a close eye on them. Only Jiang Xingyi has been affected so far. That little b*tch won’t let those brothers off so easily.”
“Sir, I don’t quite understand.” Ke Yanbin couldn’t help but voice out his doubts. “The brothers treated her quite well, especially Jiang Chenglang. Previously, he treated her like his own sister. Why is she now putting in much effort to harm them?”
Feng Linbai glanced at him and said with a faint smile, “You need me to answer such a simple question? Go to He Xiulan and ask him to a bucket over your head.”
Ke Yanbin left with a heavy heart. Out of strong curiosity about the answer to this question, although he did not want to see He Xiulan’s face, he still to find him.
He Xiulan was even ruder to Ke Yanbin. “With your current IQ, you were just born, weren’t you? You can’t even figure that out, and you even asked Young Master Bai about it?”
Ke Yanbin was afraid of revealing his IQ, so he did not say anything.
He Xiulan gave an example, “Think about it. Sir, didn’t do anything before, but those from the Fengs still wanted to take him down. It was because of jealousy and greed.
“Miss Jiang managed to obtain the favor of her four brothers, but the little b*tch couldn’t not. How could she not be jealous?
“Moreover, she had it before and then lost it. Under such circumstances, most people wouldn’t think about why they had fallen out of favor. They would only be jealous and feel hatred. ‘Why her? Why her? It would be great if this person disappeared.’
“This is especially true when a jealous woman holds power in her hands. There was an experiment overseas where a woman locked herself up and then let allowed others to do whatever they wanted to her. In the experiment, everyone was a devil.”
He Xiulan was halfway through his speech when he patted his head and said, “Oh, I forgot. You’re illiterate. How could you possibly know about this famous experiment?”
Ke Yanbin: “…”
He really wanted to strangle He Xiulan to death. He could either poison him or mute him.
Ke Yanbin looked at the girl behind He Xiulan who was busying herself in the kitchen and said expressionlessly, “I’m indeed illiterate. I’m an illiterate who doesn’t know how to speak.”
The next second, Ke Yanbin said loudly, “So this is the kind of woman you like, He Xiulan!”
He Xiulan stretched out his hand but could not catch Ke Yanbin.
Ke Yanbin slipped past and quickly ran away.
He Xiulan turned around and saw the back of the girl holding a spatula.
“Churan, let me explain!”
…
Just as Feng Linbai had guessed, something happened to Jiang Jingnian as well.
The new case accepted by the X-Institute was a political figure from Y Country. Jiang Jingnian was very familiar with that political figure. After David received this request, he didn’t think too much about it and naturally sent Jiang Jingnian over with Kong Zhihui to be his assistant.
David was far away abroad and didn’t know about the previous dispute between Jiang Jingnian and Kong Zhihui. He figured that Kong Zhihui was from Y Country and thus was more familiar with the local customs there. She had also assisted in other people’s surgeries before. Although her status wasn’t as prominent as this political figure’s, Kong Zhihui’s status was still outstanding.
Jiang Jingnian did not object to this arrangement, so they left together.
After arriving at this destination, they quickly came up with a diagnosis, came up with a plan, discussed the pros and cons of different plans, decided on the final treatment plan, and then began to implement it.
There were no problems in the beginning. Jiang Jingnian had dealt with this patient a few times, so he had a very good understanding of the patient’s physical condition. He even pointed out the hidden problems in the different plans one by one. It did not take long for the treatment plan to be finalized. A few days after the treatment, the patient improved.
On the sixth day, all the signs indicated that the patient was back to full health. When they had completed their task and were about to return the next day, an accident suddenly happened.
The patient fainted again, and his vital signs were gradually declining. It was even worse than before the treatment.
The group that had booked a flight home was now being detained abroad. Moreover, due to the patient’s special identity, X-Institute could not escape blame. They were strongly condemned and questioned by Y Country, and it escalated into an international crisis.
As the chief surgeon, Jiang Jingnian was the target of accusations from Y Country. The members of his team were placed under house arrest while he was sent to lock up.
All of Jiang Jingnian’s communication devices were confiscated. David couldn’t contact Jiang Jingnian, so he could only call Kong Zhihui via video call.
“How could this be?” David immediately started questioning from the other end of the video call. “What happened? Didn’t everything go according to plan? Why did the patient’s condition suddenly deteriorate?”
Kong Zhihui bit her lower lip, looking panicked, “Dr. David, we didn’t expect this either. It was the dosage of one of the drugs. For ordinary people, it was within the normal range, but for the patient, the dosage exceeded the limit that he could bear, so he…
“We didn’t expect Dr. Jiang to make such a mistake either… But this small problem is indeed easily overlooked if we one doesn’t examine it carefully…”
“Impossible!” David denied sternly, “Alex would never make such a mistake! This is slander! I want to talk to the people over there!”
The video call ended.
The people at the side asked Kong Zhihui anxiously, “What did Dr. David say? How is the patient now? Will Dr. Jiang be punished? Can we be released?”
Kong Zhihui lowered her head. “Doctor David said that he’ll do his best to get us out.”
The people around her sighed, so no one saw as Kong Zhihui’s lips slowly curled into a smile. How could they be released so easily for such a serious crime? It was a pity that they were under house arrest. She really wanted to go to the prison and see Jiang Jingnian in his miserable state right now.
To see that insufferably arrogant man with his noble head hanging down as he hugged her legs and begged for her forgiveness would be a great sight indeed.
Just thinking about that scene made her blood boil.
Back then, he had humiliated her for the sake of that little high school student. Now, this was just an eye for an eye.
Kong Zhihui sent a message: [Everything is going smoothly.]
…
At the K-One Club.
The official match was the day after tomorrow. Jiang Zeyu, Yan Zuo, and the others were doing their daily routine checks.
After they were done, Yan Zuo and Jiang Zeyu sat on the stairs at the side. Yan Zuo took off his gloves and asked, “The competition is tomorrow. Are you nervous?”
“Of course not.” Jiang Zeyu wiped away the sweat at the tip of his nose. “Rather than nervous, I’m more excited. After all, I’ve worked hard for so long just for this one day.”
Yan Zuo smiled. “You’re right. Take back what you’ve lost. What’s yours will always be yours. Although it’s a little late, at least you’re back. Thank you for not giving up.”
Jiang Zeyu rolled his eyes. “Captain Yan, I haven’t won the championship yet, and you’re already helping me think of a speech? Isn’t it a little early? What if I get slapped in the face the day after tomorrow? You’d be very disappointed then.”
Yan Zuo raised his eyebrows. “You’re actually being humble? Shouldn’t it be ‘I’m invincible? Who can compare to me?’”
“People grow up.” Jiang Zeyu patted Yan Zuo’s shoulder. “I will definitely win the championship, but…”
His eyes darkened. “But I can’t show my glory to the person I want to show to the most. I have to get the champion trophy and tell her that I did it.
“If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be where I am now.”
Yan Zuo patted Jiang Zeyu’s shoulder and was speechless for a moment.
Saying comforting words seemed like useless nonsense. Of course, he understood Jiang Zeyu’s feelings. The dazzling girl on the training field couldn’t be by his side now. Jiang Zeyu was obviously clearly upset that she couldn’t bear witness to this moment with him.
Jiang Zeyu looked at the track and sighed. If it weren’t for his sister’s encouragement, he wouldn’t have returned to this place. In his heart, his sister was the most important person. If he couldn’t win the championship trophy, wouldn’t he disappoint his sister?
If she woke up, she would definitely think that he was a useless older brother, right?
Compared to his other brothers, Jiang Zeyu was a lot poorer in terms of financial resources. If he didn’t win the race, wouldn’t he become even more of a useless elder brother?
Thinking of this, Jiang Zeyu’s fighting spirit was reignited. “I’m going to go another two laps.”
“Okay.” Yan Zuo didn’t stop him. “But you should save your strength. You need to be fit for the competition!”
Jiang Zeyu didn’t even turn his head. He waved and said, “Got it.”
Yan Zuo lowered his head and replied to a few messages. When he looked up again, he was met with a shocking scene.
As Jiang Zeyu turned a corner, he crashed into the guardrail next to him, and the entire car flipped over!
Yan Zuo shouted, “No!”
He felt his heart sink. He hurriedly ran over to the car and called for an ambulance. There were only he and Jiang Zeyu in the training ground. Yan Zuo was roaring as he spoke to the operator.
“Someone here is dying! K-One Club! Come quickly! Someone’s dying!”
The ambulance soon arrived.
Jiang Zeyu, who had blood all over his body, was placed onto a stretcher and carried into the ambulance. Yan Zuo sat beside him. He got into the ambulance with tears all over his face.
In the club, Yan Zuo’s team members were panicking.
“The race is the day after tomorrow. Zeyu is the perfect candidate to win it. How could something like this happen all of a sudden?!”
“He withdrew from racing two years ago. That championship that he could have won is gone. This year, he got into an accident two days before the race. He really is unlucky… Could it be that Zeyu has such bad luck with racing and is destined to not win the championship?”
“Why are you being so superstitious?! Zeyu is lucky. He’ll be fine!”
“But he’s so heavily injured. Didn’t you see that his whole body was covered in blood? It looks like he even injured his forearm and thigh. This is the championship race we’re talking about! Even if he didn’t tear or break anything, he still needs time to recover. Could he possibly recover and be in top condition to race in two days? He’s a human, not an iron man!”
The man was rendered speechless and muttered, “Is our team destined not to win the championship again this year…”
After Bu Jinglei’s team finished watching the show, one of the members put one hand in his pocket and teased, “Your driving skills are terrible. Do you think Jiang Zeyu is your savior? With him around, we have to look up at you guys. Without him, you’re just ants for us to look down on and crush!
“Bunch of trash!”
Bu Jinglei’s team members laughed and walk away. He himself merely shrugged. He was in a good mood, but he pretended to comfort Yan Zuo’s team. “Zeyu will be fine. Although he has lost a lot of blood, he’s still young. He will be back in a few days. But his car…
“It’s a wreck. I’m afraid it’ll be difficult to repair…”
Bu Jinglei’s words woke everyone up from their dream. That’s right. Even if a miracle happened and Jiang Zeyu came back unscathed, the car was still damaged.
How could they still compete?
There was no hope for this year’s competition.
…
There was someone secretly delighted over Jiang Jingnian locked up in a foreign country. And the members of the K-One Club were disheartened. Naturally, someone had achieved their goals. Jiang Xingyi remained at home. Presumably, Jiang Chenglang was having a hard time dealing with these matters.
Lu Yuan was really happy when she thought of these people’s miserable state.
God gave her this opportunity. She was reborn back to five years in time. With this golden hand, she had grasped so much information that was ahead of others. She could make good use of it to control some of the connections that she did not know about in her previous life. It was a wonderful feeling to pull the strings on things that would happen in the future to the present to make plans ahead of time. This feeling of using everyone as pawns in her chess game was wonderful.
Lu Yuan was deeply drunk in the control of power. It was a pity that she could not find a good opening in the business area for the time being.
It wasn’t that she didn’t have anyone to use, but Jiang Chenglang’s control over the Jiang Corporation was too tight. She could pick a few thorns, but she couldn’t shake the Jiang Corporation’s foundation.
After the mole incident last time, Jiang Chenglang clearly had improved and became more cautious and guarded. Even the internal staff had been purged, so it was really difficult for her to get her hands on them.
Moreover, in the business area, the Feng Ling Group was also backing the Jiang Corporation. The Feng Ling Group was even bigger, so it was even harder for her to shake it. Though she had Jian Hanshen who could help in the business area, that person’s heart was not with her, and he refused to help her.
Feng. Lin. Bai.
Lu Yuan cursed this name silently.
In her previous life, Feng Linbai had returned to the Feng family and almost affected Feng Junhao’s right to inherit the Feng family. In her previous life, he had helped Feng Junhao. She used the entire Jiang Group as a dowry to strengthen Feng Junhao’s power, allowing him to successfully defeat Feng Linbai and take control of the Feng family.
However, in this life, Feng Linbai’s power was stronger than she had imagined. If Feng Linbai had such a background in her previous life, he would not have lost to Feng Junhao unless he cared not about the Fengs, or…
His physical condition couldn’t support his endeavors.
In his previous life, Feng Linbai died at the age of twenty-four. With some calculation, Lu Yuan knew that it would be this year. If the trajectory was the same as in his previous life, then he didn’t have much time left.
Lu Yuan leaned against the sofa. For a person who didn’t have much time left, she had plenty of time to spend with him.
But compared to the previous life, there had been many changes. For example, Jiang Yu was different from the weak and easily bullied person she used to be. Her relationship with her brothers had also changed. Other examples were that An Yimin was still working hard, Feng Linbai had revealed his identity, and…
He was not blind like in his previous life.
Lu Yuan was carefully considering if there was anything that she had overlooked when someone walked in and reported, “Madam Lu, everything is going according to plan. However, there was some bad news from the hospital…”
“What news?”
“I heard that Jiang Yu has woken up…”
“What?!” Lu Yuan jumped up from the sofa in shock. “Jiang Yu has woken up? How is that possible? Didn’t they say that she’s in a vegetative state and there’s no possibility of her waking up ever again?”
The person who came lowered his head. “According to the news that we received, the Doctor did say that, but this is also the latest development from the hospital. Right now, Jiang Chenglang, Jiang Xingyi, the Qins, the Fengs, and the founders of Chuangyu Technologies are all rushing to the hospital. Look…”
He held out a tablet and showed her a few scenes. Indeed it could be seen that these people were on their way.
Lu Yuan made a prompt decision. “Let’s go! To the hospital!”
The car soon arrived near the hospital.
Lu Yuan didn’t get out of the car immediately. She carefully waited in the car for a while until she saw Old Master Qin’s family and Chuangyu Technologies alight from their vehicles at the hospital entrance.
“Jiang Chenglang, Jiang Xingyi, and the Fengs have already gone in.” A subordinate at the side checked the news. “Rong Qi is on his way to pick up An Yimin and Xun Shaorong.”
Lu Yuan was still in disbelief. “Is Jiang Yu really awake?”
How could she have awakened at such a time?
The subordinate said in embarrassment, “I’m sorry, Madam Lu. Feng Linbai’s people are guarding the hospital too closely and there are no blind spots. Our people can’t get in and can’t provide first-hand video of the ward. But…
“Although Jiang Yu has woken up, she’s been lying in bed for such a long time. It will definitely take some time before she can be discharged. By then, we will be able to confirm if she has really recovered. How about we wait for her to be discharged before coming back here again?”
“No!”
Jiang Yu’s sudden awakening was a huge flaw in her plan. With Jiang Yu’s ability, who knew what she would do next?
Although it was good that Jiang Yu would get to see her beloved brothers’ miserable state after she woke up, the Jiang family was not completely destroyed yet. Lu Yuan’s plan had not been completed, which made her feel a little regretful. It was as if her unfinished work had no choice but to be released.
Moreover, the image of her being beaten up by Jiang Yu’s talent was still fresh in her mind. Lu Yuan massaged her temples and tried to think of a solution to her headache.
Her subordinate did not say anything as he continued to observe his surroundings.
“What the…?”
He let out a weird exclamation and said, “Madam Lu, another car has arrived. Ji Churan came with another man. Madam, if Ji Churan is here, Jiang Yu must have really woken up.”
Lu Yuan looked over and saw Ji Churan raise her head and talk to the man with a smile on her face. The man gently brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead and his face was also full of smiles.
With just a glance, Lu Yuan could feel their joy.
Ji Churan was gesturing something to the man as she hopped up the stairs. Another car came from behind and another girl that Lu Yuan recognized came down.
It was Chen Miaoyi.
Ji Churan waved at Chen Miaoyi with all her might. Chen Miaoyi welcomed her happily and the two of them walked into the hospital hand in hand.
Lu Yuan’s fingers almost scratched the seat of the car.
Everyone was really here. So many people had gathered at the hospital. Apart from the time when Jiang Yu was unconscious, this was the first time this had happened.
There were only two possibilities for such a huge commotion.
Either Jiang Yu was dead.
Or Jiang Yu was alive.
But with so many people happily coming over, it couldn’t possibly be a funeral, right?
So… Jiang Yu had really woken up!
Lu Yuan was furious. Why couldn’t Jiang Yu just die?!
In her extreme anger, Lu Yuan said, “Let’s use the backup pawn.”
Although it was an iron bucket-like defense, it wasn’t without flaws. Under all sorts of connections, there was always a flexible tool that could be used. But, even though she saw it as a tool, it loyalty couldn’t be guaranteed.
But, at this time, Lu Yuan couldn’t care less. She wanted to go in now and see if Jiang Yu had really woken up.
The subordinate replied, “Okay, I’ll make the arrangements.”
A few minutes later, he brought a white coat and work permit.
Of course, Lu Yuan wouldn’t risk her life alone. She asked her subordinate to go in with her. When someone questioned her at the entrance, her subordinate cleverly distracted them.
The two of them entered the elevator and arrived at the lower floor of where Jiang Yu’s ward was located. There was nothing they could do. If they went directly to that floor, it would be too eye-catching and hard to explain. But if they took the stairs, they would attract less attention.
The two of them quietly went up the stairs. The subordinate found a small trolley with a circle of cloth around it. It was just enough for Lu Yuan to hide inside.
Lu Yuan got into the small cart and bumped her head a few times along the journey. She held her forehead and complained about why she had not reached the door yet when she heard the subordinate say in a low voice, “Madam, we’re here.”
Then, she heard a soft click of metal. It sounded like a door being locked.
Lu Yuan was shocked!
She suddenly had a bad feeling. She lifted the cloth around her and got out of the small cart. She saw a circle of people surrounding her.
Why did she use the word “surround?”
It was because she was in an iron cage that was akin to a bird cage. It was really difficult for her to escape.
The man on the left opened his mouth. Although his voice was not loud, he gritted his teeth and said, “Lu Yuan, long time no see.”
Lu Yuan still smiled at this moment. “Big Brother, long time no see.”
“I’m not your big brother.” Jiang Chenglang tilted his head to one side. “President Jian, do we have to take your sister down ourselves, or are we going to send her to the police station?”
Jian Hanshen didn’t mind. “Whatever you like.”
Old Master Qin said, “I’ll talk to Old Master Jian. You don’t have to worry.”
Jian Hanshen didn’t say anything else.
Lu Yuan was still smiling. After her gaze swept past Jiang Chenglang, Feng Linbai, Jian Hanshen, and Old Master Qin’s family, her expression suddenly changed.
Besides Jiang Xingyi, Jiang Jingnian and Jiang Zeyu were also standing beside Ji Churan and Chen Miaoyi.
How… How were they here?!
She sized up Jiang Zeyu from head to toe, but she couldn’t tell that he was injured at all.
Jiang Zeyu even waved his arms and legs as if he was showing off. He said smugly, “Isn’t it strange that I’m not injured? Wasn’t the act that Yan Zuo and I put on together pretty good? Are you satisfied with it?”
Jiang Jingnian was not as talkative as Jiang Zeyu. “Don’t waste your time. Just send her away. I feel sick just looking at her.”
How could Lu Yuan not understand what was going on now.
It was fake. Everything had been fake!
Jiang Jingnian being locked up in prison, and Jiang Zeyu getting injured had been all part of their drama!
Even Jiang Xingyi had yet to clarify anything so that Lu Yuan would feel that everything was going according to plan.
Lu Yuan did not know when they had seen through her scheme and when they had caught on to her. She watched as her loyal subordinate respectfully said something to Feng Linbai and then left.
Qin Fangfei snorted coldly. “You should be satisfied. We have so many people to play with you. From now on, you can go to jail and live out the rest of your life there.
“Compromising national security, intentionally killing people, violating others’ reputation… All this is enough for you to be sentenced for life!”
Lu Yuan laughed in a low voice. Her smile was sinister and strange.
Feng Tianrui held on to his arm. “Is this woman crazy?”
Lu Yuan was still laughing. “Jiang Xingyi didn’t let Qiao Leshan succeed. I lost. Jiang Jingnian has a good relationship with the political figures of Y Country. They were willing to act together and fool that idiot Kong Zhihui. I lost. Jiang Zeyu is one-track-minded, but he knows how to overturn his car and put on a lie. I lost. Everyone is gathered here and I lowered my guard. I took the risk to show my face. I lost…”
Jiang Zeyu mumbled, “Of course, I even prepared those blood bags…”
Lu Yuan’s voice suddenly rose!
“But!”
Her eyes were wide open. She was no longer as sweet and lovely as she used to be. Her face was terrifying as she said, “But this is all an act. This means that Jiang Yu hasn’t woken up!
“Hahahahaha! So what If I lose? You guys didn’t win either!
“Stop dreaming. She’ll never wake up!”
…
Jiang Yu had a very, very long dream.
At first, she kept walking forward.
She was surrounded by darkness. She didn’t know where she was or where she should go.
She was alone in the darkness.
She tried to shout, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that she didn’t know who she was.
Then there was a light in front of her. She walked forward and saw herself.
