Can someone who has died live again? For Jiang An, the answer to this question is a resounding yes.
In his previous life, he struggled to survive in the apocalypse, gradually establishing a b...
Chapter 109: "The Endless Feud."
Before Jiang Jie finished speaking, the psychic standing next to Cheng Yuefeng suddenly tensed up and stared at him with vigilance.
Liu Yang on the bed also shrank to the side, subconsciously moving away from the direction where he was.
Cheng Yuefeng's expression didn't change much. He just continued to stare at the other person and said, "So, Senior, you have water-related abilities. This may be a bit presumptuous, but may I ask what you were doing when Ah Yang and Ah Shang got into trouble?"
In response to his question, Jiang Jie responded cooperatively, "When I received the news about Liu Yang's accident, Cheng Xuedi was right next to me. Before that, I had just returned from Deputy District Chief Liang's visit. You can go ask him. As for your cousin's accident..."
He suddenly stopped, reached out and took Lin Mian's hand, rubbing it gently, "Baby, do you want to tell them what we were doing?"
Lin Mian pulled his hand away, looking a little embarrassed and ashamed, "No..."
With the situation, it goes without saying what they were doing, so it's not a good idea to ask any further.
Cheng Yuefeng swept his gaze over the two of them and remained silent for a moment.
"Are you asking me these questions because you doubt me?" Jiang Jie spoke first. "Is it just because I have water-based abilities?"
Cheng Yuefeng smiled apologetically, "Senior, please don't mind me. I'm really a bit nervous right now. Two of my subordinates have been in trouble, and I can't rest easy without a result."
"I understand. If it were me, I'd see everyone as a murderer," Jiang Jie paused, resting his arms on his legs and leaning forward slightly. He smiled and said, "But I heard from Liang Qun and the others that you, my junior, also have water-related abilities, right?"
Hearing this, Cheng Yuefeng suddenly raised his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?!" The psychic standing next to him shouted, "Are you saying that our captain plotted against his own men?!"
Jiang Yan glanced at him sideways. When the man met his gaze, his expression froze and he subconsciously took a half step back. However, Jiang Yan raised his lips and smiled, "I was just asking casually. Why are you so excited, little brother? I wasn't angry when you questioned me just now."
He was smiling all the time when he spoke, but the man felt a little scared for some reason and couldn't help swallowing.
Cheng Yuefeng turned his head at the right time and said in a clear voice, "Apologize to the senior."
The psychic calmed himself down, suppressed the fear in his heart, and said with his head down, "I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I lost control of my emotions."
"It's okay," Jiang Jie said magnanimously, crossing his legs. "After all, something happened to one of your people. It's normal for your nerves to get out of control."
Finally, he added, "Don't mind me, Junior Brother Cheng. I was just following your line of thought and having reasonable suspicions. People's hearts are unpredictable. Sometimes, it's not just your opponents who plot against you. Junior Brother, you should understand, right?"
While he was speaking, he also glanced at Liu Yang on purpose.
"Of course," Cheng Yuefeng didn't seem to care at all, "Senior, what you said makes sense."
"Alas, the world is in chaos now," Jiang Jie sighed deeply, and said with some emotion: "Sometimes even the people closest to you can't be trusted. That's how human nature is."
Lin Mian nodded in agreement and said, "Just like the safe zone we passed by before, it was completely destroyed because of the fighting and suspicion between the two sides."
Jiang Yan laughed at how well he cooperated with her, and put his hand on the back of his neck and rubbed it.
The words seemed to have a hidden meaning, leaving the other three silent for a moment. Before they could think about it any further, there was a knock on the door.
"It's so lively?" Liang Qun pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing so many people in the room, he paused. He glanced at Jiang Jie and the others and asked, "Why are Mr. Jiang and Lin Mian here?"
"I heard something happened to my junior, so I came to check it out," Jiang Yan said, raising his hand as a greeting. "Why is Deputy District Chief Liang here too?"
Liang Qun closed the door behind him and walked towards the bed, saying, "I heard from my men that Liu Yang is awake, so I wanted to ask him about the attack."
He glanced at the man on the bed who was still not in good spirits, then turned his gaze to Cheng Yuefeng, "How is it? Do you know who did it?"
Since the other party is here, he must have asked all the necessary questions, and there is no need for him to question the injured again.
Cheng Yuefeng shook his head. "Ayang didn't see who it was, but he knew it was probably a water-type mutant."
Hearing this, Liang Qun subconsciously glanced at Jiang Jie, but only for a moment before she looked away. "There are also several water-type mutants in the area, but they all had alibis when we questioned them before, so it's hard to confirm."
"Yes," Jiang Jie leaned back in his chair leisurely and said, "Junior Cheng even questioned me just now. He's very cautious."
"Ah, yes," Cheng Yuefeng smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said casually: "But when Ah Yang got into trouble, the senior was with Deputy District Chief Liang, so it definitely wasn't him."
Hearing this, Liang Qun was startled and turned to look at Jiang Que. The other party looked at him with a smile and raised his eyebrows. He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, that's right. Mr. Jiang happened to be with me at that time."
Hearing him say this, Cheng Yuefeng's eyebrows relaxed and he retracted his gaze, "Indeed, I was overthinking it."
"Well, now that we've seen the patient and clarified everything, we won't bother you any more," Jiang Jie stood up and said to the person on the bed, "Rest well and I wish you a speedy recovery."
Liu Yang raised the corner of his mouth to him.
Seeing him taking Lin Mian away, Liang Qun also said: "Then I'll come with you. I'll ask all the questions I need to ask. If Qi Shang wakes up later, I'll come over."
Cheng Yuefeng did not keep them and followed them out.
"Captain, what should we do now? Although Ah Yang has woken up, we still have no clue what's going on." The psychic beside him frowned, not only because he was annoyed by his companion's injury, but also because he was worried about himself. Who knows if the person hiding in the dark will continue to attack them.
Cheng Yuefeng shook his head and said nothing. He was a little confused and the bad feeling was getting stronger. He couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his eyebrows.
On the other side, after leaving the clinic, Jiang Jie took Lin Mian and planned to walk towards where they parked the car. In order to facilitate travel in the district, Liang Nan had previously provided them with a small car.
"Mr. Jiang," Liang Qun called out to them. When they stopped, he walked over to them and said helplessly, "We should have a chat."
Jiang Jie glanced around and asked, "Are you sure you're here?"
Of course not, Liang Qun said: "Go to your car, there are other people in my car."
Because he has no special abilities, Liang Nan is always worried about his safety, so when she goes out, she either accompanies him by herself or has a team of people accompany him. Today, she happened to have something to do, so other people followed her.
Jiang Jie glanced at Zhou Tai who was waiting by the car not far away, raised his chin nonchalantly, and asked him to follow him.
Before Liang Qun walked away with him, he waved to Zhou Tai and pointed in a direction, indicating that he had something to discuss. When he saw the other party stand up straight and nod to him, he turned around and followed the two people in front.
After the three of them were in the car, in a confined space with no one else around, he got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Jiang, how come I didn't know that you came to see me the day Liu Yang got into trouble?"
Jiang Jie, who was sitting in the passenger seat with his arms crossed, sneered, looked up at him through the rearview mirror, and shrugged nonchalantly, "Because I really didn't go."
Liang Qun sighed deeply and raised his hand to hold down his throbbing solar plexus. "So it was you who really did the harm to Liu Yang and Qi Shang."
He should have thought of it earlier. Apart from the other party, who else would dare to act so recklessly in the safe zone? It seemed that he was acting secretly, but in fact he was very ostentatious.
Jiang Jie nodded decisively, "Yes."
"Why?" Liang Qun was very puzzled. If he remembered correctly, this was the first time they met. As for his relationship with Cheng Yuefeng, although he felt that things were not as peaceful as they seemed, he could not see any deep hatred between them. Why did he do such a cruel thing and make them unable to feel at ease?
He lowered his hand from his temples and looked into the other person's eyes in the rearview mirror. "Do you have any grudge against each other?"
"Yes," Jiang Jie spoke as he finished speaking, his eyes darkening in the mirror, "a feud that will never end."
The cold tone made Liang Qun stunned. He inexplicably felt a chill all over his body. His fingertips trembled slightly, then he tightened his grip and was speechless for a moment.
Lin Mian, who was sitting in the driver's seat, reached out his hand, held the man's fingertips on his arm, and squeezed them gently. The other person's expression at this moment reminded him of the time when he faced Wang Hao.
Jiang Yan felt the warmth of his fingertips and shook his hand back.
"Then you..." Liang Qun uttered two words, but didn't know how to continue.
Asking the other party what the grudge was? With this person's temper, how could he possibly tell him!
Ask him if he can let go of hatred? It's hilarious. What kind of great thing is he that can make others let go of hatred!
He opened and closed his mouth again and again, and finally sighed in self-deprecation, leaned back in his chair, and said, "Mr. Jiang, I can choose not to interfere in your affairs... Well, I can't interfere either. I only ask one thing of you. If your hatred is only related to Cheng Yuefeng and the others, can you please not affect the safe zone?"
Is there any deputy district chief more humble than him? He thinks there is none.
Seeing his helplessness and compromise, Jiang Jie smiled, pinched the little rabbit's round fingertips, and said mercifully: "Okay, as long as no one gets in my way."
The other party has always been a smart person. As long as he can continue to be smart, Jiang Jie doesn't mind giving him a chance, not to mention...
He turned his head to look at those around him. The little rabbit had pleaded for them before, and it seemed that he liked these two friends.
Liang Qun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This safe zone was the result of his and his sister's hard work, and it was also their safe haven. He wanted to keep it safe.
As for the others... He lowered his eyes slightly. Although he didn't know what grudge Cheng Yuefeng and the others had with this living devil, it was just bad luck for them to be hated by the other party.
