Chapter 208 Results So Good They Make You Suspicious

Even Zhou Xiye, with his usually meticulous mind, was somewhat taken aback.

Does a fish have to be this complicated?

Jiang Zhizhi linked arms with him and walked home happily: "I've taught you the answer to saving your life, you have to learn it."

Zhou Xiye saw the sentry at the door looking over and pulled his arm away: "Walk properly."

Jiang Zhizhi knew he was an old-fashioned person, and smiled with her eyes crinkling: "Then when we go into the courtyard later, will you carry me on your back?"

Zhou Xiye remained silent, which was considered tacit approval. He thought that the streetlights would be dim after entering the courtyard, and there would be no one on the road so late. He figured she could make a scene if she wanted.

Jiang Zhizhi was overjoyed. Once inside the courtyard and in a secluded spot, she eagerly asked Zhou Xiye to bend down. She jumped up and climbed onto his back, wrapping her arms around his neck: "Alright, no one's around now. Carry me home."

Zhou Xiye smiled, put his hands behind his back, and supported her thighs to prevent her from falling.

Jiang Zhizhi took off her gloves, stuffed them into her pocket, and put her hands under Zhou Xiye's neck: "It's warmer here."

Zhou Xiye walked steadily, letting Jiang Zhizhi play around on his back.

As they turned the corner, they happened to run into Shang Shiying accompanying Shang Shiyi as they walked out.

The streetlights were dim, but you could still see them clearly up close.

Shang Shiyi paused for a moment, slowed his pace, glanced at Zhou Xiye, then at Jiang Zhizhi whose expression was somewhat stiff, nodded slightly, and strode forward.

Shang Shiying was also surprised to run into Zhou Xiye and Jiang Zhizhi. The young couple seemed to have a good relationship. She smiled and said, "Xiye, Zhizhi just got back?"

Zhou Xiye carried Jiang Zhizhi on his back without letting go, greeted Shang Shiying, and quickly left.

Jiang Zhizhi's heart was in her throat. She turned her head to look at Shang Shiyi and Shang Shiying, who had walked away, and whispered in Zhou Xiye's ear, "It seems that their relationship has improved."

Zhou Xiye, who was embarrassed just now, is now at ease: "There was no resentment originally. It must be because of Shangxingzhou that Vice Minister Shang came over."

Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Actually, Shang Xingzhou has a very high EQ. He's really good at building relationships, and people can't help but like him."

Zhou Xiye hummed in agreement: "Just like you, clever and sweet-talking, making people unable to resist liking you."

Jiang Zhizhi exclaimed "Eh!" and leaned close to Zhou Xiye's face, giving him a big kiss: "Zhou Xiye, wow, you can actually say sweet words now! This is a reward for you!"

Zhou Xiye paused, looking quite helpless: "We're outside, we need to be mindful of the impact."

Jiang Zhizhi was already laughing so hard she was practically lying on his back.

...

Three days later, Bian Haishan was arrested, which brought to light a 20-year-old case. He had planned a fire that burned his adopted sister to death, as well as two innocent people.

The person who testified in court was none other than Bian Haiping, the fourth son of the Bian family, who had moved out of Beijing. He was not only an eyewitness, but also had physical evidence of letters written to him by Bian Haishan.

Bian Haishan never expected that the person who would testify in court and sentence him to death was his own younger brother, whom he thought he could still put up a last stand!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell into a coma in the detention center.

When Jiang Zhizhi heard Zhou Xiye say this, she found it unbelievable: "Why would Bian Haiping come? After all, he's his older brother."

Zhou Xiye shook his head: "I don't know exactly why he came, but he's about the same age as Vice Minister Shang, so they should know each other."

Jiang Zhizhi still found it unbelievable. Even if they knew each other, back then he disagreed with leaving Beijing because he didn't want to get involved in these troubles.

It takes courage to stand up and testify in court after twenty years.

Fang Hua sighed repeatedly upon hearing this: "Who would have thought that the once glorious Bian family would fall so suddenly? Now that they've fallen, there will surely be many people who will kick them while they're down."

Zhou Xiye nodded: "Today, quite a few people reported the Bian family, and many who are connected with the Bian family have turned themselves in."

Fang Hua was silent for a while, then said firmly, "As a person, you must never have bad intentions, or you will be punished sooner or later. Think about how glorious they used to be, and now their end is quite miserable."

As Jiang Zhizhi listened, she knew that Shang Shiyi deserved the most credit this time, and that he had probably been planning for this day for a long time, which was why he was able to strike so quickly and accurately in such a short time.

The Bian family is completely finished.

Fang Hua took a couple of sips of porridge, then suddenly remembered Bian Yucheng: "What about Bian Yucheng? Will he be sentenced to death?"

Zhou Xiye was unclear: "His case is still under investigation because there is a lack of evidence, so a conviction cannot be made."

However, everyone knew that if Bian Yucheng could get out of prison alive, he would definitely seek revenge on everyone.

Fang Hua frowned: "The Bian family... there's not a single good person among them."

Zhou Xiye changed the subject: "The issue with Zhizhi's adoptive parents has been investigated and clarified. They will be able to return soon, but they cannot resume work yet and will need to stay in the sanatorium for a period of time."

Jiang Zhizhi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with my dad?"

Zhou Xiye reassured him, "It's nothing. It's just that I haven't recovered well from being gored by a bull last time, so I'm back to continue recuperating."

Jiang Zhizhi was relieved: "When are they coming back? Can I pick them up?"

"No rush, we'll go see them together once we're settled."

Zhou Xiye tried to persuade Jiang Zhizhi, but he didn't tell her that Sun Xiaoyue had actually come back with her this time.

He was also surprised when he saw the list. How could Sun Xiaoyue come back with Jiang Zhenhua?

...

Jiang Zhizhi's study class recently held a placement test, which also included an English test.

Because she got full marks in English and Chemistry, she ranked tenth in the class despite scoring only 39 points in Basic Medical Sciences.

Jiang Zhizhi looked at the medical basics test paper with a headache. It was different from what she usually memorized. There were many questions about identifying herbs and some emergency response questions that she didn't know.

Ge Qinghua is very bad at English and chemistry. She only scored in the teens in English and ranked below 20th overall.

She looked at Jiang Zhizhi's perfect English test paper with some envy: "How did you learn English?"

Jiang Zhizhi envied Ge Qinghua's perfect score in medical fundamentals: "Sister, how about this, I'll tutor you in English, and you tutor me in medicine, so we can improve together?"

Ge Qinghua had no problem with it: "Sure, I just didn't expect to be learning English."

This course is not taught much in schools, and there are no good English teachers.

Medical students need to learn English because there are many aspects of Western medicine that require English.

When Jiang Zhizhi went home that night, she told Fang Hua about her exam results. To his surprise, Fang Hua thought they were excellent: "Tenth in the whole class! That's amazing. How come your English is so good? I remember you guys didn't study English properly."

Zhou Xiye also looked at Jiang Zhizhi's test paper, just like a parent looking at their child's test paper, he looked at it very carefully.

He was quite surprised when he saw Jiang Zhizhi's perfect score on her English test paper, as there were many questions he didn't know, yet Jiang Zhizhi had gotten a perfect score.

Turning to look at Jiang Zhizhi, he asked, "When did you learn English?"
