Chapter 360 Turning Point
Jiang Zhizhi stood next to Zhou Xiye, gently rubbing her shoulders, and coldly watched Bian Zhan roar.
The reason Bian Zhan went to become a spy was because of Bian Xiaoxiao! Was it for money, so that Bian Xiaoxiao would look at him more often? The reason is absurd and laughable!
Although she didn't like Bian Xiaoxiao, it was still despicable for Bian Zhan to use the excuse of being a spy to frame a woman.
Song Dong, supported by someone, dragged his injured leg over and said, "Bian Zhan... you really have to choose a path of no return over the path of the living."
Bian Zhan looked up at Song Dong: "I didn't mean to hurt you. You were once my role model."
Song Dong was so angry she didn't want to hear it: "Bian Zhan, look at the state you're in now! How can you face the country for all these years of nurturing you?"
Zhou Xiye didn't want to say anything more to Bian Zhan. He turned around and whispered a few words to the man sent by He Jianian, telling him to take Bian Zhan away and to take him to where he was supposed to go. There would be people to judge them.
Bian Zhan was dragged to his feet, but he didn't forget to throw out a harsh remark at Zhou Xiye: "Zhou Xiye, do you think you can have the last laugh like this?"
Song Dong said with great disgust: "Bian Zhan, I never thought you'd become this kind of person. Take you away right now..."
Bian Zhan was taken away, and Zhou Xiye quickly went to help Song Dong: "I'll take you to the hospital."
Song Dong was already numb from the pain and couldn't feel the wound anymore. Zhou Xiye suggested going to the hospital, his face full of regret: "Was I careless? Or did Zhizhi notice something was wrong first? By the way, Zhizhi, how did you find out?"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled sheepishly: "It's just my gut feeling that it's weird for someone to be here."
She couldn't very well say that the person lying down was in a deliberately awkward position, and that she had a keen sense that they were within sniper range.
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye took Song Dong to the hospital first. After Song Dong went into the operating room, Zhou Xiye finally had time to ask Jiang Zhizhi, "Is your shoulder injured?"
Despite the pain in her arm, Jiang Zhizhi casually shook it and said, "It's okay, I dodged quickly, so it didn't hurt much."
Zhou Xiye knew that Jiang Zhizhi's shoulder must be sore, and he felt more guilty than distressed: "I shouldn't have let you go back by yourself, I should have taken you back."
Jiang Zhizhi pulled him to sit down beside her: "It's really nothing. Just being scratched like that will only cause some bruising. Compared to Bian Zhan's injuries, mine is nothing."
"I wasn't strong enough; I didn't manage to pierce his heart in one go!"
She spoke with a hint of regret, and added that she hadn't been prepared enough; she should have carried some medicine powder with her, perhaps to sprinkle some on Bian Zhan so he would suffer more.
Ignoring the people coming and going in the corridor, Zhou Xiye held Jiang Zhizhi's hand in his own and gently squeezed her fingers: "You wait at the hospital, I'll go find Sister Mingyue and tell her."
Song Dong's injury can't be kept secret any longer, so we need to inform Xu Mingyue as soon as possible.
...
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye waited for Xu Mingyue to arrive at the hospital, and then waited for Song Dong to finish his surgery and be alright before going home.
It was already afternoon when we got home, and the two children were taking a nap.
Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu were making baby clothes for their two children in the living room when they saw the two enter. They casually asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
They assumed the two of them must have eaten before coming back.
Jiang Zhizhi only then realized she was a little hungry. She rubbed her stomach and said, "We haven't eaten yet. Let's go to the kitchen and make something ourselves."
Fang Hua then noticed that Jiang Zhizhi was covered in dirt, as if she had rolled in a haystack, and her hair was also a bit messy. Looking at Zhou Xiye, who had bloodstains on him, Fang Hua was shocked and stood up: "Where did you go? What happened? Are you injured?"
Ignoring Zhou Xiye, who was covered in blood, she quickly walked to Jiang Zhizhi's side, took her hand, and looked her up and down. When she saw that Jiang Zhizhi also had bloodstains on her body, she couldn't help but raise her voice: "What happened? Why is there blood? Where are you injured? Let me take a look."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and quickly took her hand: "Mom, Mom, don't worry, I'm not hurt, and the blood on me isn't ours. We're all fine. Sit down first, and I'll explain everything to you slowly."
Fang Hua was relieved to hear that no one was injured. She called to Sister Chen to prepare the meal and pulled Jiang Zhizhi to sit down on the sofa: "Tell me quickly what happened? You were fine when you went out, how did you come back so dirty?"
Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Zhou Xiye and briefly recounted Bian Zhan's situation. She didn't describe the fight between herself and Bian Zhan, only mentioning that Song Dong was injured and Bian Zhan was subdued.
Fang Hua's eyes widened in disbelief: "Bian Zhan? What is Bian Zhan trying to do? He actually wants to kill you? The Bian family is finished now, and he still wants revenge."
Zhou Chengyu also found it unbelievable: "Bian Zhan used to be a very good kid. I remember when we were educating our own children, we always used Bian Zhan as a role model. How did he end up like this?"
Jiang Zhizhi recalled Bian Zhan's last words: "He said it was because of Bian Xiaoxiao. He likes Bian Xiaoxiao, and Bian Xiaoxiao likes Zhou Xiye. He wanted to get Bian Xiaoxiao's attention, so he took this path."
As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Xiye, who immediately explained, "I have very little contact with Bian Xiaoxiao. I only helped Bian Zhan deliver food to her once."
Fang Hua seemed to have completely forgotten that she had also hoped Zhou Xiye and Bian Xiaoxiao would be together. She glared at Zhou Xiye and said, "Are you two even acquainted? You're just delivering food to her. Don't you know that if people see this, it will cause misunderstandings?"
Zhou Xiye felt speechless and helpless: "Mom, just say less."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled as she watched Zhou Xiye from the side.
When Zhou Chengzhi returned that night, he brought back news that Bian Zhan had committed suicide!
Zhou Xiye was not surprised. Even if Bian Zhan did not commit suicide, he would eventually be sentenced to death and executed in secret for the mistakes he made.
Zhou Chengzhi, holding Xiao Zhouji, sneered, "I thought he had a lot of backbone, but he's nothing special. In the end, it's all for a woman."
Fang Hua still couldn't understand: "Bian Xiaoxiao is the Bian family's adopted daughter. If he really wants to be with Bian Xiaoxiao, it's not a big deal. There are plenty of examples like that."
Zhou Chengzhi scoffed, "Would Wang Qinglan be willing? Bian Suxi is just an adopted daughter, and she's practically a nightmare for the Bian family. Besides, what help can Bian Xiaoxiao offer Bian Zhan? Wang Qinglan is very pragmatic; she only wanted Bian Xiaoxiao to marry Zhou Xiye to consolidate the Bian family's position."
"That's why I didn't want Zhou Xiye and Bian Xiaoxiao to be together back then! You were so stubborn back then, insisting that Bian Xiaoxiao was great. If I hadn't insisted, would you have such wonderful grandchildren to hold now?"
Fang Hua, a little embarrassed and annoyed, pinched Zhou Chengzhi's arm: "You talk too much all day long!"
Zhou Chengzhi, carrying his son, dodged away, not daring to provoke Fang Hua any further. Just as he was about to leave with the child, He Jianian's guard knocked on the door and entered: "Deputy Division Commander Zhou, please come with me for questioning..."
