Yang Chang took a few breaths, but couldn't catch his breath and fainted. The guards went in, checked his breathing, and carried him to the bed.
At this moment, Cheng Ran also brought over the key. Compared to Yang Chang, who was emotional just now, Guo Xueyun was obviously much calmer. Something was definitely amiss, so before opening the door, he asked Jiang Wanqing first.
"Is it really absolutely necessary to go in?"
"I want to find the answer to a question in my heart. Will you stay with me?"
Cheng Ran tightened his grip, but finally loosened it, giving in to her. He knew he couldn't stop her from doing what she wanted, so he could only accompany her.
He didn't say a word, but nervously opened the door and went in first. Only after confirming that there was no real danger did he let her in as well.
Guo Xueyun, who had been quietly squatting in the corner, slowly stood up when she saw them come in. She looked at Jiang Wanqing and sneered.
"Not content with laughing at me from outside, you had to come in to watch too? Jiang Wanqing, you're no better than me. It's all my fault for choosing such a terrible teammate this time, otherwise you definitely wouldn't have escaped..."
Jiang Wanqing suddenly stepped forward, making Cheng Ran's heart jump. She whispered something in Guo Xueyun's ear.
"I know you've been to that white little world, haven't you? Or rather... you've died once too!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Xueyun took two steps back abruptly, only to bump into the wall. She was so startled that she didn't know how to blink, her face filled with terror.
"You...are you a human or a ghost?!"
Jiang Wanqing curled her lips: "I am who you are. You think you can defeat me by watching me from the shadows with Yang Chang in some underhanded way? Haven't I told you that going against me without a brain will lead to a terrible death? It's okay to be stupid, but it's terrible to be both stupid and dishonest, and end up killing yourself with your stupidity!"
In her few words, she used the word "stupid," which made Guo Xueyun turn pale with sarcasm. She immediately clenched her fists and gritted her teeth.
"What right do you have to talk to me like that! So you didn't get to where you are today through your own abilities, did you! If I had known that time in that world existed before yours, I would definitely..."
Jiang Wanqing looked into her eyes, interrupted her, and her words were still sarcastic.
"What are you sure about? Surpassing me or defeating me? Keep dreaming. If you actually try, you'll only lose even more miserably. I didn't get to where I am today by taking shortcuts. I've known about that place for about the same time as you. I'm just curious, how did you manage to spy on us from inside so freely?"
"Hahaha……"
Hearing that Jiang Wanqing also had a question, Guo Xueyun laughed and finally straightened her back a little.
"You want to know? Fine, tell them to let me out, and I'll tell you. Otherwise, I'll take this secret to my grave!"
Cheng Ran was very impatient and wanted to take action, but Jiang Wanqing pressed his hand down and shook her head.
“Let’s go. Since she wants to die with a secret, then let her die.”
"What did you say!" Guo Xueyun raised her voice anxiously, "Only I know that secret! Don't think you can trick me into revealing it to you... Hey! Come back here!"
The iron gate was locked, separating them, and Guo Xueyun gripped the iron bars like a madwoman.
"Jiang Wanqing, I know you're playing hard to get. I'm not Zhang Jin. I won't beg to be your dog. Either let me out, or I'll never tell you that secret!"
The louder she screams, the less confident she is. And... the fact that she's in such a hurry only proves that she can't enter that little world right now, otherwise she should be much calmer.
Jiang Wanqing felt much relieved to have gotten a plausible guess.
"Should we have Guo Xueyun interrogated? What secrets is she holding..."
Cheng Ran looked back; he had overheard their conversation.
She shook her head slightly: "No need, she has no value anymore."
At this moment, Zhang Jin also came out of the leader's office after submitting the report materials. His eyes immediately turned to Jiang Wanqing, with a kind of determination that showed he was facing certain death.
"I've done what you asked me to do. Don't forget what you promised me!"
"Of course not. I've already prepared what you wanted. You can get it once you've finished finishing up the things I asked you to do."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Zhang Jin left first, and Jiang Wanqing and Cheng Ran left after learning about the situation from the people at the station.
They returned home around noon. Jiang Jianguo and Xue He had prepared lunch and brought Nannan back.
Jiang Wanqing has grown taller and is no longer the chubby little girl she used to be. Now she is a pretty little girl. She greeted the little girl who ran towards her and pinched her cheek.
Why are you so happy today? What happened that made you so happy?
"Mom, Dad, I got a perfect score on my test again! Grandpa and Grandma told me that now that you've settled things, our family can go back to living a peaceful and happy life like before. Is that true?"
Jiang Wanqing looked up at her parents, then smiled at Nannan and straightened her braids.
"Yes, Grandpa and Grandma didn't lie to you. Come on, let's wash our hands and eat."
"Show Dad your perfect score test paper later." Cheng Ran patted his daughter's head.
To him, his daughter was still a tiny little thing.
"good!"
The family of four sat down at the dining table. After finishing their meal, Jiang Wanqing felt a little sleepy and prepared to take a nap. Cheng Ran accompanied her into the room.
She fell asleep soon after lying down, while he leaned against the headboard for a short rest.
He doesn't sleep deeply at night, and during the day he barely closes his eyes.
Birdsong drifted in from outside, adding to the tranquility. Half an hour passed quickly, and he opened his eyes, feeling refreshed. He saw that Jiang Wanqing was still asleep, but he didn't think much of it, assuming she was just too tired and needed to rest. He kissed her forehead and then went outside.
More than an hour passed, and there was still no movement in the room. Nannan had already been sent to school for her afternoon classes, and Cheng Ran still didn't disturb Jiang Wanqing.
But two more hours passed, and she still showed no signs of waking up. He started to panic, quickly bent his knees and sat on the edge of the bed, feeling her pulse in her neck. He felt a strong beat and breathed a sigh of relief.
He nudged her arm: "Wanqing, wake up, it's late. We'll have dinner later, don't oversleep, okay?"
He tried to wake her, but to no avail. He tried several times, raising his voice higher and higher, but she still didn't respond, which made his heart skip a beat.
Thinking back to what she had told me, if she didn't wake up, it would mean...
His pupils suddenly contracted, his heart pounded, and he stayed by her side without daring to move, holding her hand.
"You lied to me again. This is the last time. You must wake up safely. I'm waiting for you. We have a long future ahead of us. Don't let me down."
