Reborn in the 1990s: I Serve the Country and Rise to Become a Tycoon

Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.

Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...

Chapter 140 The Jiang family accepted this favor

Zhou Haoran gave a mocking smile, "As expected, there are still people in this world you care about, so you can't just escape all alone and carefree."

Zhuang Zhihao slowed down and rushed over. "Didn't I tell you to go to the safety cabin? Why are you standing here?"

"Vivi is in her hands."

Zhuang Zhihao looked incredulous. "You actually believe that? You didn't even bring the person. It's clearly a setup. Hurry up and go over there..."

"Won't we know for sure once they arrive?"

A short while later, a woman who was bound hand and foot was brought over by Zhou Haoran's men.

But after only one glance, and before he even stood in front of Shen Jize, he pulled out his pistol and swung it at the two men.

Two figures fell straight to the ground.

Zhou Haoran and Zhuang Zhihao both looked at Shen Jize in disbelief.

"Ji Ze, that's Weiwei."

Shen Jize said dismissively, "No, although she looks very similar, she is not. I don't know where Zhou Haoran found a woman who looks so much like Weiwei, but she is definitely not Weiwei."

“I know he won’t really kill me, so I wanted to spare his life.” But this person insisted on provoking him. “Go back and investigate. Zhou Haoran might not be one of Jiang Hesheng’s men.”

The safety cabin was not far away. When Jiang Hesheng was escorted over by his men, he saw the two people lying on the ground.

But they completely ignored him, saying, "Get into the safety cabin right now, what are you doing here?"

"Has Jiang Jiaming's problem been resolved?"

"No, I'll escape and handle it myself when I get back."

Jiang Hesheng was the first to enter the safety cabin, followed by Zhuang Zhihao and Shen Jize.

The safety system activated, and shortly afterward, the safety cabin detached from the ship and drifted toward the pre-designated safety area.

But at that moment, the ship exploded, and the three safety cabins were instantly ejected.

Shen Jize's safe cabin was at the very end. When the ship exploded, several pieces of metal shrapnel hit Shen Jize's safe cabin.

The immense impact caused cracks in the outer shell of the safety chamber, allowing a fine stream of water to seep inside.

Shen Jize remained calm.

The safety cabin has a certain depth; we can open it once it floats to the surface of the water.

However, the safety cabin system also malfunctioned. It floated up and down for a long time, and when it was almost full of water, Shen Jize opened the safety cabin door, abandoned the cabin, and swam ashore.

The wind and rain had not stopped, and the sea stretched to the horizon, leaving Shen Jize completely disoriented.

The pain in my arm wound was amplified by being submerged in seawater, but I couldn't care less. Upon seeing some floating metal fragments on the surface, I immediately grabbed one and lay down on it to conserve my energy.

I don't know how long we drifted.

The sea has returned to calm.

But the scorching sun made him feel even more uncomfortable than before.

Just as he was about to collapse from exhaustion, the sound of a helicopter approached from above.

Seeing Zhuang Zhihao's anxious face, Shen Jize finally relaxed.

Just as he was about to lose his strength, he seemed to see Lin Wei's figure.

"I must be seeing things. This is Hong Kong. Why is Vivi here?"

The next moment, his body sank into the icy seawater.

-

He opened his eyes groggily, and the first thing he saw was Lin Wei's anxious face.

"Ji Ze, you're finally awake."

“Wei…” Shen Jize’s voice was hoarse, and he couldn’t make a sound at all.

"Don't talk. You were floating on the sea for three days. Your wound didn't get infected, but you developed a high fever because of the weather. We took you to the hospital immediately after we rescued you. Today is the fifth day that you have been in a coma."

To be in a coma for five days shows just how severe the injuries were.

"You... no."

Lin Wei knew what the other person was going to say, and immediately replied, "I'm not worried. I've been watching over you every day and know your physical condition better than you do. The fact that you're awake means you're okay."

Zhuang Zhihao also breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that you're awake. Now that you're awake, everything will be alright. You have no idea how scared I was. I was worried that you..."

Zhuang Jiayi quickly tugged at Zhuang Zhihao's sleeve, "Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? Brother Jize has already woken up and is fine."

Lin Wei fed the other person some water and then quickly called the doctor to come and examine them before she could finally relax completely.

By then, Shen Jize was already able to speak, "You haven't had a proper rest these past few days, have you? Weiwei, why don't you take a good rest? I'll find someone to arrange it."

“There’s no need for you to arrange this. It’s the same hotel and room as last time. I’ve already checked in, but Weiwei is worried about you and hasn’t gone yet.” Zhuang Zhihao said, “Weiwei, Jize is already awake. You should go back and get some sleep. You’ve been staying up all night for several nights in a row. Even an iron man can’t take it.”

Lin Wei's head was already a little fuzzy from staying up all night. Knowing that everyone was alright, she didn't refuse. "Okay, I'll go back and get some sleep. I'll come see you again when I wake up."

Escorted by Zhuang Jiayi, Lin Wei went to the hotel.

As soon as Lin Wei left, Zhuang Zhihao told her about what had happened in the past few days.

“Shen Qingji is dead. His body was found before you and has already been buried. Because we used the Jiang family’s sub-bow, the Shen and Li families know that we did it, but they can only cause trouble for the Jiang family.”

"Jiang Hesheng informed the other party of your agreement beforehand, providing both manpower and resources. The Jiang family accepted your favor and acknowledged the matter. In short, it's not officially our business. We've already obtained the military supplies. Don't worry, I'll take care of the follow-up. Just focus on recovering. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Weiwei."

Zhuang Zhihao said irritably, "I knew you were going to ask this, which is why I reported those things first. You and Weiwei agreed to call each other every day, but after two days of not being able to reach you, Weiwei called Jiayi, and Jiayi found me. We were trying to keep it a secret, but you've been missing for three days. The sea is so vast, how am I supposed to know what's going on? I didn't dare delay and quickly brought Weiwei over."

"It's quite a coincidence. She found you as soon as she arrived. She's been watching over you for the past five days, worried sick. When she was exhausted, she would just lie down by your bedside and doze off for a while, but she would wake up after only a short time. I'm telling you, if you hadn't woken up, Weiwei would have gotten sick."

But to be honest, Zhuang Zhihao suddenly felt a little envious of Shen Jize.

"You've found a pretty good girlfriend."

“It’s mutual,” Shen Jize said softly. “Only by treating each other sincerely can things last.”

"Treat others sincerely? You? Not necessarily."

Zhuang Zhihao was too lazy to go into the details, but after this incident, even if Shen Jize wanted to keep it a secret, he probably wouldn't be able to hide it from Lin Wei anymore.

"You should really think about how to explain this to Weiwei. If you don't do it right, she might get scared and dump you on the spot. What will you do then?"

"No, Weiwei isn't that kind of little girl. Although she hasn't experienced as much as we have, she's still someone who can handle anything."

These are the kinds of things that are really hard to explain.
