After being reborn twice, Jiang Chen discovered that the tragic death of the first life was not an accident, but a meticulous design for the sake of never ending troubles.
The protagonist of ...
Jiang Chen raised his eyes slightly through the glass and took in He Qianjian's expression.
Before, He Qianjian had been trying to find someone to see him through various means, from his biological parents to his adoptive parents and then to himself, all with only one purpose, which was to get out of here, but that was under the premise that the system was not there. Now that the system is back, the person he wants to ask for help should also have changed.
After all, he should be He Qianjian's next best choice.
Jiang Chen was right. The second after He Qianjian confirmed that the system was reconnected, he didn't even care about the location and Jiang Chen on the other side. He couldn't wait to say to the system: "Get me out of here as soon as you come back!"
The system seemed to be a little delayed, and it took half a second to answer: [Where are you? ]
[Prison!] He Qianjian immediately recounted the disappearance of the system half a year ago and how he was sent to prison. After that, he said: [Can you let me out?]
System: [Of course. ]
He Qianjian breathed a sigh of relief visibly, feeling relieved. When he faced Jiang Chen again, his fear and trepidation were reduced a little. Also reduced was the calmness that he had lost when he was overjoyed to find out someone was visiting him. He suddenly remembered the problem that he had been ignoring.
"Why did you come to see me?"
Jiang Chen asked back: "Don't you want me to come?"
He Qianjian had no choice but to choose Jiang Chen. Now he knew he had a way to get out, and he didn't want to waste time here anymore. However, he was still wary of Jiang Chen. The system had just come back, and he absolutely could not reveal any flaws at this time. Even though he wanted to stand up and leave immediately, he still suppressed his anxiety, continued talking to Jiang Chen, and tried every means to fulfill his purpose of looking for Jiang Chen.
"I looked for you because no one came to see me. I looked for my parents and my biological parents before, but they didn't come, so I looked for you."
He Qianjian met Jiang Chen's gaze for a moment, then immediately looked away. He didn't know why, but he always thought he had good acting skills and lying without changing his expression had almost become his instinct. But he didn't know if it was because he had suffered too many setbacks in front of Jiang Chen or something else, but every time he lied to him, he always felt a little guilty.
Jiang Chen knew He Qianjian's purpose, so he didn't find it strange to hear him lying at this time. Moreover, his purpose today was to confirm whether the system was still with He Qianjian. Now that it was confirmed, he didn't plan to waste any more time here.
Jiang Chen stood up: "Then I'll go first."
He Qianjian had originally planned to make a quick decision, but when he saw Jiang Chen standing up, he suddenly thought of something and called him tentatively: "Do you know what kind of life I've been living in prison?"
How could Jiang Chen know, but when he thought about what he had just heard, he knew that He Qianjian would not have a very good life.
"I'm not interested."
Seeing that he was about to put down the phone, He Qianjian shouted, "Hey!"
Jiang Chen had already stood up. He always had a straight back, but now he lowered his eyes and fixed his gaze calmly on He Qianjian, which made him suddenly feel oppressed. However, he had had enough of this kind of life. Although the system could help him get out, it was still unknown when he would get out. He knew Jiang Chen's character, so he could only take a chance now.
"There are people in there who want to rape me." The last three words were spoken particularly loudly, probably because he was so angry.
Zhou Yang was stunned when he walked into the inner visiting room. He didn't expect that He Qianjian would suffer such humiliation besides being beaten and scolded. He wanted to go in quickly, but when he thought of the young man he had just met, he suddenly stopped for some reason.
Didn’t He Qianjian say that the young man deliberately made a big deal out of it and sent him to jail?
If this was the case, why would He Qianjian say these things to the young man? According to what He Qianjian said about their relationship and what the young man had done, he would never help him solve such a problem, and might even be gloating over his misfortune.
If He Qianjian didn't want to seek help, why would he expose such an ugly and humiliating situation to the enemy?
During this period of time, Zhou Yang, as a guard who also worked on shifts, strictly speaking, did not have much contact with He Qianjian, a prisoner. It was just that every time he came to stand guard, He Qianjian would always talk to him. From the stories he told about the past and the moment He Qianjian said with a wry smile that he was his only friend now, Zhou Yang had a sense of protection and absolute trust towards him that he was not even aware of.
But after seeing Jiang Chen, this mentality conflicted with his intuition and professional ethics. Zhou Yang stood at the door, stopping his colleagues who wanted to speak, and waited for He Qianjian to continue speaking.
He Qianjian didn't know there was someone at the door. A hint of satisfaction and relief flashed in his eyes. When he saw Jiang Chen frowned slightly and stopped, he knew that this was going to work.
Ever since he exchanged identities with Jiang Chen, he has always had a very subtle psychological feeling towards Jiang Chen's existence. He is worried that the He family will discover his identity and want to get rid of him completely, but he also feels a strong sense of satisfaction when he sees that he is inferior to him in both family and academics. The favored child of heaven who should have been high above everyone else is being stepped on by him without knowing anything. Is there anything more pleasing than this?
He Qianjian always sent people to follow Jiang Chen. Whenever he heard that Jiang Chen was not doing well, he would feel better. Because of the intelligence he had obtained from so many years of tracking, he might be one of the people who knew Jiang Chen best.
Integrity, kindness, and willingness to help others are qualities that textbooks teach primary school students should possess. He Qianjian once laughed at and sneered at them, but now he finds that he can use these to achieve his own goals.
"We are in the same cell. There is a man who has been harassing me. He touches me every day. He has become more and more restless recently. I am afraid he will..." He Qianjian gritted his teeth and suppressed some of the shame and anger in his heart. He wanted to win Jiang Chen's sympathy with his tone. In fact, his tone did add some authenticity to his words.
Jiang Chen was a little surprised. He didn't pay attention to He Qianjian in prison, so naturally he didn't know about these things. But what surprised him even more was that He Qianjian would actually ask him for help.
Did He Qianjian really think that he would be so kind as to help his enemy without hesitation when he saw him?
Jiang Chen asked: "Why are you telling me this?"
He Qianjian gritted his teeth. He had explained it so clearly, how could Jiang Chen not know his reason? Asking him now was just to humiliate him, but the words had already been said, and Jiang Chen was his only chance recently, he would never give up easily.
"I want to change cells." He Qianjian's voice seemed to be squeezed out from his throat. After hearing what Jiang Chen just said, he realized that he didn't need to pretend in front of Jiang Chen. After staying in prison for a long time, he forgot that Jiang Chen didn't buy it at all.
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Do you think I will help you?"
"You will." He Qianjian now felt uncertain, but he did not dare to reveal his uncertainty and could only say it in a firm tone.
In his impression, Jiang Chen was indeed helpful and did not bear grudges. He still remembered that when he was in the third grade, there was a boy in Jiang Chen's school who deliberately made trouble for him because the girl he liked liked Jiang Chen. He also blocked him and had a fight with Jiang Chen, Huo Bo and others. Both sides were seriously injured. Jiang Chen injured his hand, and he did not do well in the subsequent midterm exams. The boy even brought people to wait for Jiang Chen after school and ridiculed him. It can be said that they were completely at odds with each other. However, a month later, the boy didn't know who he offended, and was slandered for stealing. He almost called the police and was almost given a serious warning. When listening to the class, only Jiang Chen stood up to prove that the boy did not steal anything.
When He Qianjian heard about this from Sun Zhi, he just thought Jiang Chen was an idiot, but because of this incident, he lowered his vigilance towards him. Later, the surveillance on him was relaxed a little, and he was only not allowed to get close to the activities of the He family.
Because of this, he missed the contact between Jiang Chen and He Qianmin, and also missed the changes in Jiang Chen. Later, he made one wrong step after another, and ended up in his current situation.
If Jiang Chen was still the boy who repaid evil with kindness in junior high school, He Qianjian could be sure that Jiang Chen would help him. But when he thought that the opponent of the system was developed by Jiang Chen, and that it was his motivation that led him to enter the prison, He Qianjian suddenly became afraid that people would change, and Jiang Chen was no longer the boy he used to be.
He Qianjian stared at Jiang Chen closely, and comforted himself in his heart that it was hard to change one's nature. Although Jiang Chen did send him in, that was based on the premise that there was evidence. He would not deliberately use this method to seek revenge.
In fact, the person who knows you best is always your enemy.
After Jiang Chen knew about this, besides being surprised, he also felt a little uncomfortable. No matter when and where, no matter who the other party was, he would not stand idly by when he saw something like Gong Sui X.
However, he couldn't really believe He Qianjian's one-sided words. He knew very well how good He Qianjian was at lying and acting. He was able to hide it from the entire He family and gain the love and protection of Mr. and Mrs. He. Even after entering prison, he was able to fool a young prison guard who had just been released from society and had an overflowing sense of justice to speak up for him. Jiang Chen had never seen anyone better than him in his ability to study human nature and lie to people.
Moreover, with the system in place, he didn't believe that He Qianjian would suffer any loss.
"Why do you think I will help you?" Jiang Chen bent his lower lip, there was no smile in his eyes, but there was real doubt.
After being asked this question, He Qianjian felt even more uncertain.
He held the microphone tightly: "Jiang Chen, you will help me, right? Even though I did so many things to you before, you didn't bother with me, but just sent me to prison. I know you are not the kind of person who would just watch someone die without helping. Besides, no matter what, I was the eldest son of the He family. If others knew about this, it would not only be me who would be humiliated. How would the He family and outsiders look at you?"
Jiang Chen remained unmoved and said calmly, "I don't care what outsiders think of me."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, stood up and left.
He Qianjian looked at his back in disbelief. After a second of silence, he smashed the glass with the microphone and shouted curse words. However, Jiang Chen, who was separated by the glass, knew nothing about it, but Zhou Yang, who looked a little dazed behind the door, heard it clearly.
