Chapter 197 Following
Zhou Xiye never expected that so many things would happen in just three or four days.
Each one caught Bian Haishan off guard.
It seems that Shang Shiyi is quite resourceful.
Song Dong was very interested: "I don't know if it's a coincidence or someone is manipulating things, but I feel like this time they can drive the Bian family to the brink of ruin."
"Take the evidence that was stolen last night, for example. It still hasn't come back, and there's not a single piece of news about it. I don't know if they're playing a bigger game for Bian Haishan or waiting for some opportunity."
"However, Bian Haishan will definitely abandon his youngest son Bian Yucheng and keep his eldest son Bian Congwen."
After listening to Song Dong's analysis, Zhou Xiye remained silent for a moment before speaking: "It must be that their fate has run out, which is why they all rushed together."
Song Dong had a hint of anticipation: "They have indeed been too arrogant these past few years, it's time to teach them a lesson."
Zhou Xiye asked Bian Haimin about the specifics of his injuries so he could tell Jiang Zhizhi, who was eager to hear the gossip, when they got back that night.
...
When Jiang Zhizhi arrived at school, Ge Qinghua also arrived with swollen eyes, clearly having not slept all night, but unwilling to miss class.
During the lunch break, Jiang Zhizhi and I went outside to find a place to eat and chat.
Ge Qinghua had no appetite at all: "I was really shocked and regretful. I didn't sleep well all night. It would be fine if I were alone, but I have three children. I'm afraid I'll implicate them."
Jiang Zhizhi comforted her, "Don't worry, they won't. They wouldn't dare to cover up everything. And you don't need to regret it. My husband said yesterday, 'Every cloud has a silver lining.' This might actually be a good thing."
Ge Qinghua was still worried: "This morning, I had my husband send the three children to my uncle's house. If anything happens, come at me, just leave my three children alone."
Jiang Zhizhi understood that no amount of comforting would help now; she could only feel at ease once the Bian family fell.
She wasn't sure about that either.
Ge Qinghua smiled and then comforted Jiang Zhizhi, "It's okay, don't worry about me. Focus on your studies. I saw that you took very careful notes in class, and you made significant progress when the teacher asked you questions today. Keep it up!"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled modestly: "It's still not good enough. Compared to the other students in the class, I'm still far behind."
Ge Qinghua thought for a moment: "There used to be an old doctor who was very capable. But he was brought up because he dated and married a student. Now we don't know where he is. If you can find him and have him tutor you, that would be amazing."
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "What's the old doctor's name? How old is he? Is he also from Beijing?"
Ge Qinghua nodded: "He's from Beijing, and he must be quite old, in his fifties or sixties? He married a female student who's more than twenty years younger than him, and that's a serious matter. But he's very capable; he can tell what's wrong with you just by looking at you."
"By taking your pulse, I can tell you exactly what illness you have and how to treat it. And it really is true that one dose of medicine can pull a person back from the brink of death."
"When I first came into contact with this, it was his student who taught me a little."
As he spoke, his face was full of admiration.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't take it to heart for the time being, but chatting like this made Ge Qinghua feel much better.
...
In the evening, when people are leaving get off work or school, pedestrians hurry along the road, and everyone's face is filled with happiness as they rush home to reunite with their families.
Bian Yucheng, wrapped in a navy blue cotton overcoat, walked along the road with his hands inside his clothes.
To date, the stolen photos have not appeared in any department.
He was unwilling to turn himself in and take all the blame.
He knew all too well that with so many gold bars hidden away, there was no way he could possibly come out alive.
His father abandoned him, so he had no choice but to take a gamble.
He couldn't find the person behind the scenes. All his misfortunes seemed to have started when he suspected that Jiang Zhizhi was Bian Suxi's daughter.
If he captures Jiang Zhizhi, can he force the person behind the scenes to reveal themselves?
He was so eager to turn his life around that he had forgotten that Zhou Xiye was behind Jiang Zhizhi.
Bian Yucheng knew that Jiang Zhizhi was taking classes at the medical school, so he waited by the roadside early, watching groups of students come out.
He remained hidden behind the lamppost, waiting for Jiang Zhizhi to come out. He watched her leave with two female classmates before following her.
Jiang Zhizhi and the others rode their bikes, and in just a few minutes they had already gone quite a distance, but Bian Yucheng was in no hurry and walked slowly and unhurriedly.
His restraint was tinged with ruthlessness.
They walked until it was completely dark, and Jiang Zhizhi had long since disappeared, but Bian Yucheng still did not give up.
Walk the entire route that leads Jiang Zhizhi home.
...
Jiang Zhizhi never expected that she would see Shang Xingzhou at the gate of her home.
Shang Xingzhou was wrapped in a military overcoat, wearing a Lei Feng hat with one ear flap sticking up, and cotton glove ropes hanging around his neck, with the cotton gloves dangling on both sides of the overcoat.
Upon seeing Jiang Zhizhi, Shang Xingzhou excitedly ran over: "Sister, sister... I've come to Beijing to see you."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at Shang Xingzhou's bustling activity with some surprise: "It's so cold, how long have you been waiting? Why don't you go in?"
Shang Xingzhou chuckled and said, "It's alright. I just waited in the guardhouse for a while, so it's not cold."
She picked up her cotton gloves and said, "Sister, reach out your hand."
Jiang Zhizhi was confused, but obediently stretched out her hand, palm facing up.
Shang Xingzhou poured all the candy from his gloves into Jiang Zhizhi's hands: "I didn't bring much when I went to Ganbei last time, but I brought a lot this time. These are all for you."
Jiang Zhizhi looked at the large handful of colorful candy wrappers in her hand, which were exactly the same as the candy wrappers she had picked up.
He glanced down at Shang Xingzhou's shoes again, a pair of somewhat worn combat boots, and the footprints next to him were the same as those by the tree!
Smiling, she stuffed the candy into her pocket: "Thank you for remembering to come see me. What day did you come to Beijing?"
“It’s been a few days. I was out with my mom the other day, so I didn’t come to see you.”
Jiang Zhizhi was already certain in her heart that Shang Xingzhou was the one who had scared Wang Qinglan into a madness.
Not knowing whether Shang Xingzhou knew about their relationship, she didn't say anything explicitly: "Come on, I'll take you home. It's too cold outside. Your parents will know if you come, right?"
Shang Xingzhou followed Jiang Zhizhi like a little tail: "I know, I told them. Sister, can I stay at your house tonight?"
Jiang Zhizhi asked curiously, "Why?"
Shang Xingzhou, looking rather simple-minded, scratched his head and laughed, "I've gotten into a huge mess. My mom told me to come out and hide for a couple of days, but I don't know where to go, so I had to come to you."
Jiang Zhizhi was certain that this simpleton didn't know their relationship: "Okay, but you have to tell me what trouble you've caused that will make your dad angry?"
Just as Shang Xingzhou was about to speak, he saw Zhou Xiye walking towards them and, leaving Jiang Zhizhi behind, happily ran over: "Brother-in-law..."
