Chapter 37 Glands “The markings have faded again.”
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything.
An atmosphere of silence spread throughout the space.
Chen Wei kept looking at Jiang Yuan's expression. His expression did not change, still very calm, but he remained silent.
Finally, Shen Wei's heart sank and he looked away.
He knew Jiang Yuan heard it.
Perhaps Jiang Yuan thought this matter was troublesome and pretended not to hear it. Also, the time they spent together was not very long, so there was no need for the other party to help him.
"First take care of your health."
Jiang Yuan only left this sentence.
Shen Wei didn't say anything, but responded in a low voice.
Jiang Yuan also...cares about him?
So it’s not that Jiang Yuan is unwilling to help, but that he wants to take care of his health himself?
Chen Wei couldn't figure out Jiang Yuan's attitude.
Jiang Yuan never reveals his thoughts.
This dilemma continued until the evening when Jiang Yuan applied medicine to him.
Chen Wei felt the hand on his waist slowly pushing the medicated oil to him.
This is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive treatment method.
Chen Wei said that just applying a plaster would be enough, but Jiang Yuan insisted on rubbing the wound with his hands, which was very effective.
The warm touch spread along the waist.
The tingling sensation made Chen Wei unable to calm down. He tilted his upper body and turned his head to look at Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan said nothing, moving seriously, Chen Wei's eyes scanned his face.
Jiang Yuan looks different from himself.
His appearance is more of a dignified one, giving people the illusion that he has fought in the political arena. However, Jiang Yuan's personality is introverted, and all his thoughts are well restrained by him.
Shen Wei couldn't see through him.
But all I know is that Jiang Yuan is a good person.
But it was precisely because of this unfamiliarity that Shen Wei felt inexplicably awkward when facing him.
Perhaps it was because of what he had done to Jiang Yuan in the past, or perhaps it was because of Jiang Yuan's personality, so when Chen Wei was with him, on the one hand, he wanted to get closer to him to make up for the harm he had caused to Jiang Yuan in the past, but on the other hand, he didn't know how to get along with Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan has done everything very thoughtfully.
Jiang Yuan suddenly said, "Will it hurt if I press it?"
Chen Wei looked at his face, shook his head, and said, "Just right."
Then there was silence again, and he didn't know what to say.
He had something on his mind, and then he thought about the secondary differentiation.
The previous investigation has made progress, but Shen Wei still wants to find out who is behind it.
He held Jiang Yuan's hand with his backhand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I..."
Jiang Yuan immediately raised his eyes, looked into his eyes, and said, "What's wrong?"
Then, Chen Wei fell silent again. He was worried that Jiang Yuan would reject him with silence again.
Shen Wei shook his head and finally let go.
Jiang Yuan, however, held his wrist with his backhand and said, "Is your gland uncomfortable?"
Shen Wei couldn't speak a second time in such a short time, saying something to ask for help, and only responded in a low voice: "Yeah."
The next second, Jiang Yuan's palm covered the back of his neck.
Chen Wei clamped his legs together reflexively.
"The mark has faded again."
Jiang Yuan's voice came down.
Shen Wei didn't resist like he did in the past, but just whispered, "Come and help me deepen the mark."
Afterwards, Chen Wei consciously held on to Jiang Yuan.
Chen Wei tilted his head back and took Jiang Yuan's hand and pressed it against his abdomen.
"You usually get it in the wrong place."
“It’s this place.”
Shen Wei lay back down again.
Jiang Yuan's eyes darkened as he whispered, "I understand."
The tacit understanding between the two reached a weird level. Later, Chen Wei turned over and sat up.
......
Finally, it's over.
Chen Wei covered his waist and lay on the bed in a "big" shape.
Jiang Yuan was wiping him.
Chen Wei turned his head and looked at the bottle of medicinal oil on the bedside.
He said, "Can you help me go see my friend?"
The action of wiping him paused.
"It's Fang Yangxu."
Shen Wei knew that his words might be offensive.
After all, Fang Yangxu was present when Jiang Yuan was bullied.
"It's okay if you... don't want to go," Shen Wei said, turning his attention to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan met his gaze.
Perhaps it was because he heard the disappointment in Shen Wei's tone.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."
Shen Wei grabbed his wrist, "Really?"
"Um."
"Then I'll give you the address."
"Just help me see how he's doing lately. I don't know if I've gotten him into trouble."
Chen Wei used to seem heartless and ungrateful, but he knew who his true friends were, and he still felt bad when he learned that he might have implicated his friends.
In order to avoid the limelight, his friends all temporarily dropped out of school.
This incident was indeed a big deal.
There was a glint in Chen Wei's eyes. He had already given Fang Yangxu's address to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan also promised him that he would go visit his friends.
Seeing Jiang Yuan give in.
Chen Wei continued, "He and I were investigating the secondary differentiation issue before, and we had some progress, but something went wrong, and we couldn't move forward."
"if you can......"
"Can you help me ask about the final investigation status?"
Perhaps worried that Jiang Yuan would find it troublesome, he added, "It's okay if you don't want to."
Jiang Yuan said naturally, "Okay."
It turned out that Shen Wei had already started the investigation without his knowledge.
Chen Wei said that he could choose to visit Fang Yangxu when he was free.
But Jiang Yuan went there that night.
Following the address given by Chen Wei, Jiang Yuan wandered around that area.
Sure enough, he soon saw Fang Yangxu.
Fang Yangxu also quickly noticed him.
Within his sight, Fang Yangxu looked around, confirmed that Jiang Yuan was himself, and began to approach Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan just stood there, seemingly waiting for him for a long time.
It was completely dark and he was standing under the lamp.
Fang Yangxu quickened his pace, rushed forward and grabbed Jiang Yuan by the collar.
"It's you?!"
Fang Yangxu's actions could be described as rude, but Jiang Yuan's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end, and there was an inexplicable scrutiny in his expression.
Jiang Yuan didn't say anything, just watched Fang Yangxu's actions quietly.
Then, Fang Yangxu let him go again, and tears suddenly welled up in his eyes.
Jiang Yuan stood aside silently.
After Fang Yangxu finished breaking down, Jiang Yuan asked, "Are you done crying?"
Fang Yangxu looked at him resentfully and said, "Brother Wei is dead, you're happy, right?"
Jiang Yuan didn't respond to his boring words and asked, "Do you believe he committed suicide?"
"How is that possible! Everyone in the world would commit suicide, except Brother Wei!"
In his eyes, Shen Wei has always been a proud person, so how could he commit suicide because of Shen Tingyu.
"Then we have reached an agreement on this point," Jiang Yuan continued, "I have no obligation to listen to your complaints."
His tone was hard and cold.
Fang Yangxu realized that meeting Jiang Yuan tonight was no coincidence and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Yuan lied without blinking, saying, “Shen Tingyu is causing trouble for me, and I’m very annoyed.”
"I'm going to deal with him."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, he said straight to the point.
"So, I want to know the truth about Shen Wei's death, including what he did before he died and whether there was anything unusual."
“These are all very important and will become evidence against Shen Tingyu.”
What he said was very straightforward, and he understood what Fang Yangxu was thinking at the moment.
Fang Yangxu, who was ordered to take a leave of absence from school by his parents and had some guesses in his mind, almost immediately understood that Jiang Yuan wanted to cooperate with him.
Coincidentally, Fang Yangxu also believed that Shen Wei’s death was definitely related to Shen Tingyu.
As if to confirm his suspicions, Jiang Yuan asked, "Did Chen Wei show any unusual behavior or anything unusual happen before he died?"
Abnormal things... Fang Yangxu couldn't have forgotten that a few days before Shen Wei's death, he had just differentiated into an Omega for the second time.
And it was induced to differentiate by humans.
Fang Yangxu did not trust Jiang Yuan at this moment.
Naturally, it was impossible to tell Jiang Yuan the truth.
Jiang Yuan said, "Everyone has left. I don't have any intention of taking revenge on you. I just want to protect myself now."
He retreated in order to advance.
“If you can find some flaws in Shen Tingyu through his death, you can avenge Shen Wei, and I can protect myself.”
“If you don’t trust me, then you can only let Shen Wei be stepped on by Shen Tingyu to get to the top.”
He almost hit Fang Yangxu's pain point directly.
He and Shen Wei are childhood friends. Currently, he is restricted by his family and is under house arrest. Even if he wants to investigate or avenge Shen Wei, he has no ability.
At this time, Jiang Yuan happened to appear.
After hearing what he said, Fang Yangxu immediately agreed to cooperate with Jiang Yuan in the investigation.
"Come home with me. I have something to show you."
Fang Yangxu led the way in front.
He suppressed his inner anger and turned to ask Jiang Yuan: "Why did Shen Tingyu bother you?"
"Because he wanted me to cooperate with him in clarifying the matter, and I refused, he sent people to block me, which seriously affected my normal school life."
Fang Yangxu walked ahead and nodded, saying, "He's certainly capable of doing these things, but he's in the limelight right now, so why would he risk it to stop you?"
"right."
However, the fuse of this public opinion incident happened to be Jiang Yuan.
Fang Yangxu seemed to have been locked up for a long time. He finally saw some hope and started talking a lot. "At the beginning..."
After hesitating for a moment, Fang Yangxu said something unusual, "Brother Wei inexplicably transformed into an Omega."
There was nothing unusual on Jiang Yuan's face, and his steps were still steady.
"Then we started investigating Brother Wei's secondary differentiation and followed the clues to a black market medical factory in the lower city. It turned out that the owner of the black market medical factory was a local tyrant in the lower city, and we angered him."
"It's also my fault. I was careless at the time and exposed Brother Wei's identity. That's why that local tyrant couldn't directly attack Brother Wei. After getting Brother Wei's information, they knew that Shen Tingyu was Brother Wei's father and was preparing for the election, so they used the most sinister trick."
"They dug up Brother Wei's past, including... the time he bullied you, and then used public opinion to create momentum, pointing the finger directly at Brother Wei and Shen Tingyu."
"That period happened to be a critical point in the election. In order to calm the public anger, I guess Shen Tingyu took direct action and killed Brother Wei. Then he pretended to use Brother Wei to hype himself up, and his reputation gradually reversed."
"He must have come to you to help himself, and since you wouldn't cooperate, he resorted to forceful measures."
Fang Yangxu briefly introduced the course of events to Jiang Yuan, along with his speculations.
Jiang Yuan remained silent.
Followed Fang Yangxu all the way back to his home.
"Ever since Brother Wei left, I've been living here alone. It's safer to talk here."
Jiang Yuan looked around Fang Yangxu's room.
There was little furniture inside, but it wasn't very clean and looked rather decadent.
He took out a stack of medical records from a drawer deep in the room.
Then he handed it to Jiang Yuan, "This is Brother Wei's medical record from back then. I wonder if it's of any use."
Jiang Yuan took the medical record and flipped through it a few times. The diagnosis on it read: The conversion test result was positive, and the preliminary diagnosis was induced secondary differentiation; Note: Alpha converted to Omega.
"There's something fishy about Brother Wei's secondary differentiation."
Afterwards, Fang Yangxu hesitated to speak, because Jiang Yuan had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end.
"Have you found out anything?"
Jiang Yuan asked him.
"We've identified some suspicious individuals, but there's no way to move forward now."
Jiang Yuan nodded, his expression relaxed a little, and said, "Indeed."
This is the pain point right now.
Fang Yangxu couldn't investigate because he was closely watched by his family, and Jiang Yuan couldn't investigate because he had no money or power.
The two were silent.
Fang Yangxu then said, "I'm restricted right now and can't conduct an investigation. I'll transfer the money to you, and then you can use the money to figure out a solution."
Although I can't think of a better way at the moment.
Jiang Yuan didn't refuse, he just said, "Okay."
Afterwards, Fang Yangxu transferred some money to Jiang Yuan.
They are too passive now.
After finding out the information, Jiang Yuan took the information and said goodbye.
After entering the cases and information into the communicator, he lit the cases and their previous investigation materials with an expressionless face.
Flames shot up, and Jiang Yuan's face was illuminated by the flames. The progress of Chen Wei and Fang Yangxu's investigations turned to ashes.
