Chapter 696 Beginning and Ending
Compared to the turbulent situation in Jinggang Harbor, Xiangying is unusually peaceful.
"So, Zhizhi has been with Zhou Yanheng all this time?"
Jiang Huashan sat under the jujube tree in front of the yard and talked to Fu Suier on the phone.
"That's what Zhizhi said. She now regards Zhou Yanheng as a relative who has shared weal and woe. All she talks about is Zhou Yanheng." Fu Sui'er's tone was somewhat complaining. "I don't even want to talk to her anymore."
Jiang Huashan couldn't help laughing, "Why?"
"Why? Of course it's because... because..." Fu Sui'er thought about it, but still didn't want to say anything bad about her best friend. She said dissatisfiedly, "Because I hate Zhou Yanheng. You said Zhizhi is so smart, how come she fell into Zhou Yanheng's trap?"
The moonlight shines through the gaps in the jujube trees, weaving a web like broken silver on the ground.
Jiang Huashan looked at the net on the ground and sighed secretly.
Yes, how could such a smart person fall into Zhou Yanheng’s trap?
Shen Mianzhi is no longer the same person she used to be. She is no longer a puppet controlled by the Door of the Play. Although there is still a label that has not fallen off, Shen Mianzhi's consciousness will never be completely trapped because of a label.
Jiang Huashan raised her head, carefully examining the tiny dots of starlight hidden among the jujube trees. She said calmly, "I heard that Zhou Yanheng is dying?"
On the other end of the phone, Fu Suier was slightly stunned. Although she didn't know why Jiang Huashan brought up the plague god for no reason, she still answered every question.
"Well, he's still in the intensive care unit and isn't out of danger. My mom said the situation isn't good."
She paused, her words sounding rather weak, "Just for such a trivial matter, that idiot Shen Mianzhi locked himself in his room and cried for a whole day!"
Jiang Huashan smiled. That was it. In his previous life, Zhou Yanheng had never experienced such a disaster. If Grandpa hadn't intervened, who knows how many more episodes he could have survived.
Shen Mianzhi had been with Zhou Yanheng for the past few days. Given her intelligence, how could she have allowed Zhou Yanheng to be so seriously injured? So, her previous guess was correct. Shen Mianzhi was indeed deliberately delaying time.
Everyone thought that she was obsessed with Zhou Yanheng and couldn't help herself. Smartly, she simply hid in this obsession and waited for the opportunity to act.
As expected of the person who made the show a separate episode, well done~
But this tacit understanding should not be broken. Jiang Huashan did not point it out, but skipped the topic and asked, "Where is Han Yang? He is the only missing hostage who has not been found."
"Oh, and Han Yang." Fu Sui'er suddenly thought of something and lowered his voice. "I overheard a conversation between my mother and my fifth uncle and learned that the police had already found Han Yang's body on a reef beach and confirmed that he was dead. The chairman of the Silver Star Group was furious with the authorities in Country A and filed a lawsuit against the Ministry of Education, the police, and all the senior decision-makers who planned this university alliance."
"The Silver Star Group controls 60% of Country A's news media. I'm afraid the entire nation of Country A will know about this prosecution. And at this critical juncture, Yu Siwen is likely in trouble."
The grassroots president has no investment from the consortium and relies only on the trust of the people. Once the popular foundation collapses, Yu Siwen's presidential career will be over.
The presidential election is approaching, and the contenders this time are very influential. Even Guan He's father is among them. It seems that someone behind the consortium is ready to take action.
But no matter how much they argue, it has nothing to do with the Shen family.
This time, the Zhou and Guan families benefited from the old man's help and will not repay kindness with enmity for the time being.
Thinking of this, Jiang Huashan stretched himself lazily and said, "These are all heavy topics. Is there no good news?"
"Good news?" Fu Sui'er's tone changed, becoming much lighter. "Yes, I don't want to get involved in all this trouble in Jinggang Harbor. I've already decided to leave for Xiangying in two days. Hahaha, we'll be able to meet soon."
Good news indeed.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Huashan stretched himself and walked straight to Grandma Wu's room.
As she reached the door, she heard very soft voices coming from inside. She was immediately delighted and ran into the house quickly.
"Grandma, are you... awake?"
In the center of the room, Grandma Wu lay on an old-fashioned bed with a carved mosquito net, while Shen Lanxi sat beside her, talking to her. Grandma Wu turned her head immediately upon hearing her voice, and when she saw her, a few star-like spots flashed in her cloudy eyes.
At first the old lady thought she was hallucinating, but when she rubbed her eyelids she found the figure was still there, and the smile in her eyes deepened.
"Am I dreaming? Little Flower is here?"
She was much thinner than before, her skin clinging to her high cheekbones and jawline, tiny bluish-blue blood vessels faintly visible, and one could clearly feel the life draining away from her.
"Grandma."
Jiang Huashan unconsciously slowed down her pace, her eyes were sore, but she knew she shouldn't cry now, so she smiled, walked forward and gently took Grandma Wu's hand.
"It's not a dream. If you don't believe me, feel it yourself."
Her hands are delicate and full of vitality, while her great-grandmother's hands are rough and withered. This extreme contrast perfectly illustrates what it means for lives to overlap.
Grandma Wu gently patted the back of her hand and deliberately joked, "Lan Xi just said she would give me a surprise, and it turns out it's you. Okay, okay, be good~"
