Chapter 1277 The Soil is Toxic
Li Jinxing became irritated. His patience had its limits and he was now on the verge of collapse.
Sleepwalking is when you lose control of your body and your brain.
He had always thought he knew his body very well, but now he had lost control of it.
The more you want to control it, the easier it is to be suppressed and then rebound.
To put it nicely, he is stubborn; to put it bluntly, he is conceited. He still refuses to admit defeat.
Since he said so, Jiang Yun couldn't persuade him: "Just be aware of your own body. I'm worried that you've been holding back and not going to the hospital, afraid that this minor illness will turn into a serious one. Look at your hands..."
Li Jinxing knew where the problem lay. There were two best solutions: either leave here or tie himself up with a rope. Once his body got used to sleep, he would not sleepwalk again.
He will not leave here. This is his home where he has lived for so long. If he chooses to leave home because of this incident, it means that he has given up.
"I know. If it doesn't work, just tie me to the bed with a rope."
Jiang Yun smiled gently: "You should have done this a long time ago, so that your hand would not become like this. Oh, right... you suddenly let me move in, do you want me to keep an eye on you sleepwalking?"
Li Jinxing didn't admit it directly, but asked, "Did I scare you last night?"
"Well, you suddenly got up and stood there motionless, which scared me a lot. I am still shocked when I think about that scene now. You looked like you were possessed by a ghost. It was the first time I saw a sleepwalker, and it was even scarier than what I saw in real life..." Jiang Yun paused and explained in a different tone.
"When I say scary, I don't mean the way you sleepwalk is scary, but your actions. I'm worried about your body. I feel like you can't control it and keep hurting yourself. Do you understand?"
Li Jinxing nodded.
It's not like he hadn't watched the surveillance camera outside before. He felt terrified when he saw the nearly crazy self in the video. It seemed like a different person, but he also knew that it was the self that was suppressed in the deepest darkness.
Jiang Yunwei opened his mouth and exhaled: "I want to ask... can you really not feel any pain?"
"I can feel it, but I just can't wake up." Or in other words, after the self deep inside is released, it doesn't want to wake up.
Jiang Yun thought to himself: These rich people all have some weird flaws, otherwise how could they be so perfect?
Li Jinxing was unwilling to see a doctor, and Jiang Yun couldn't force him to go.
She took her clothes and prepared to go to the bathroom to change out of her pajamas. Just as she was about to go in, she suddenly saw Li Jinxing walking towards the safe with his hand reaching out.
At that moment, she felt her breathing stop and her heart was beating so violently that it seemed like it was going to break open her chest and jump out.
She didn't dare to move and could only stare, afraid that Li Jinxing would open the safe.
Perhaps God heard her prayers, and Li Jinxing retracted his hand when it was about to touch the safe.
Jiang Yun's gaze was too obvious. Li Jinxing noticed it and turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
"nothing……"
Jiang Yun entered the changing room and came out not long after. As soon as he came out, he subconsciously looked at the safe and Li Jinxing. Everything was normal. It seemed that he did not open the safe.
This matter was like a ticking time bomb in her heart, ready to explode at any moment. Should she return the painting? Or should she talk to Mr. Liu first?
It’s too late to return her now, so I can only wait until night.
The newly planted roses outside were disturbed again. The servants in the house were used to it. When they saw it, they called the gardener to deal with it.
The gardeners didn’t live here before, but recently they just moved in for this piece of land. The first floor is specially arranged for them. The house is big enough and there are enough rooms for them to live in.
At first he wondered how the flower became like this. He would have thought it would be fine for one day, but it happened every day, so he just stood by the window and waited. Finally, he discovered this unknown secret.
It was destroyed by Li Jinxing!
Li Jinxing destroyed the flower at night, then asked him to replant it during the day, and then continued to destroy it at night. Doesn't this flower's life matter?
But he was just an employee and couldn't say anything. As soon as the sun rose, he resigned himself to dealing with the flowers, clearing away those with broken roots and replanting those that had not.
While cleaning the flowers, the gardener discovered some problems.
The flowers in this area had died before, and he thought it was an accident. After cleaning it up, the land was empty for a long time. Now the flowers have been replanted there, and they are pulled out every day, but he didn't notice anything wrong.
But today he noticed that it was rotten.
It's only been planted for two or three days, how could the roots rot so quickly? He has been strictly controlling the amount of watering, and the soil moisture is just right.
The gardener sorted the flowers and looked at the roots. He found that many of the flowers had rotted roots. This area was the same as the previous one, and there was a problem with the soil.
The gardener picked up two flowers and went to find Li Jinxing, and just happened to see Li Jinxing coming out and preparing to get in the car.
"Boss Li."
Li Jinxing stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Boss Li, there's something wrong with this flower. It's only been planted for a short time, and it's already rotting... I suspect there's something wrong with the soil."
"What's the problem?"
Even if you ask him to explain it, he can't really say for sure. We need a professional team to test the soil to be specific.
Li Jinxing glanced at the rhizome of the flower in his hand. It was a trivial matter to him and not worth his worry at all, but since the gardener mentioned it, he also took it seriously.
Li Jinxing said: "Then don't plant it yet. Since it's soil, let's deal with it."
"The only solution is to dig out all the soil and replace it with new nutrient soil."
In this case, the watches and rings dropped inside are likely to be shoveled away or covered by new soil, making it like looking for a needle in a haystack for something that is already difficult to find.
Li Jinxing hesitated for a moment, and the gardener in front of him did not speak, waiting for his instructions.
When he thought that those two things might be taken away and he would never find them again in his life, he felt a pain in his heart, as if a hand was holding it tightly, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The "self" that he had been suppressing seemed to be about to emerge from the depths and occupy his body at this moment.
"You should get someone to test the soil first. What's wrong? We planted all the flowers in one place, so why are the other flowers fine, but that one can't survive?"
This is a bit of an overreaction. The gardener thinks that such a small problem with the soil can really be solved by changing the soil. What's the point of going to so much trouble to check the soil? Could it be that the soil is poisoned and we need to research an antidote?
But he had to listen to Li Jinxing's words.
"I see."
"When you have someone check the soil, if you find anything in it, remember to call me."
"Boss Li, you said the same thing last time, asking me if I had found anything there. Tell me exactly what it was, or I'll think it was trash and throw it away."
Li Jinxing hesitated for a moment: "It's a watch and a ring. There are two rings, worn on a necklace."
The gardener paused and said, "I see... I'll definitely tell you if I find it."
Li Jinxing did not specifically tell him to go look for it. Whether he could find it or not depended on fate.
The gardener finally understood why Li Jinxing appeared downstairs picking flowers late at night. It turned out that it was for these two things.
These two things should be particularly important to him, so why didn't he arrange someone to look for them carefully? He had to kneel on the ground and look for them secretly in the middle of the night. This is just too much to save face and suffer in vain.
These days, Li Jinxing was full of energy and sleepwalking at night, but he was depressed and unstable during the day, with a gloomy face all day long.
If this continues, he will go crazy and might even kill someone.
He Tian advised him to rest well or go to the hospital, but he refused to listen. He wanted to cure his sleepwalking on his own, but what was the result? All of his efforts failed.
Zhou Yi and He Tian discussed that if Li Jinxing was still sleepwalking on the eighth day, they would tie him up and throw him into the hospital.
Jiang Yun has been out of work recently, so she lives in Qiule Manor. There is no surveillance in the bedroom, but Jiang Yun didn't dare to stay there for too long. She took her bag and told the housekeeper that she had an appointment with a friend to get a beauty treatment.
The housekeeper arranged a car for her, and she got in. When she arrived at a place, she asked the driver to stop the car and told him not to wait for her because she didn't know how long it would take to get back.
The driver carefully left her his phone number so that she could call him to pick her up when she wanted to go back.
Jiang Yun entered the beauty salon and watched the driver drive away. She hurried out, turned to a more secluded place, and called Mr. Liu.
"Mr. Liu, there's only a painting in the safe. It's not a secret."
"A painting?"
"It was painted by Gu Wanqiu."
There was silence on the phone. Jiang Yun thought, what does he want a painting for? What he wanted was Li's confidential documents.
Just as she finished thinking, a man's voice came from the phone, "Send it over, I'll send you the address."
Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Yun didn't dare to hang up the phone, and asked cautiously: "Mr. Liu, is there anything else?"
"I think Li Jinxing has been paying attention to you recently. If Gu Wanqiu dies, can you replace her?"
"If I could have replaced her, I would have done it ten years ago, not now."
"In those ten years, Gu Wanqiu didn't die, and Li Jinxing didn't believe she was dead, but this time is different..."
What's the difference? Jiang Yun's heart tightened. From what he said, it seemed that Gu Wanqiu was already dead?
"Mr. Liu, I..."
"Try hard, Jiang Yun. You have to make good use of your strengths."
"I see."
As soon as the words fell, the other party ended the call.
What did he mean? Did he want her to seduce Li Jinxing? How could he do that? She had no idea how much Li Jinxing loved Gu Wanqiu. She only knew that he loved her deeply, but how deep it was, perhaps only the person lying in bed could know.
Looking at Li Jinxing who was sleepwalking last night, the painting locked in the safe, and the password of the combination lock.
Li Jinxing's feelings for Gu Wanqiu seemed to be just a shallow pool, but after lying down, he found that it was like a deep sea that could drown people.
Jiang Yun took out the painting from his bag and folded the drawing paper in half. The crease divided a face in the middle, one half of the face was tender and the other half was indifferent.
The phone vibrated. It was the delivery address. Jiang Yun found a courier service station, put the painting in a file bag, quickly filled in the information, handed it to the waiter, and paid. She didn't stay here for long. She wanted to go back right away, but she was worried that someone would find out.
In the end, she went to the beauty salon, did a simple project, and then slowly took a taxi back. The taxi could not drive in and was parked on the side of the road. The door was open, and it took ten minutes to walk in.
As soon as Jiang Yun returned home, he heard the servants at home discussing him.
It was simply that Li Jinxing was attracted by her remarks.
But this time there's something a little different.
Some people actually thought that she was the biological mother of the two children. After all, Si Yan and Si Xu's facial features had grown more and more, and they looked more and more like the former Gu Wanqiu. And Jiang Yun's plastic surgery face naturally looked very similar, at least more like Gu Wanqiu than the current one.
"If you ask me, judging by appearance alone, Miss Jiang and President Li are a better match. Miss Gu is just too thin. After giving birth, she looked neither human nor ghost. She's scary to look at. I think President Li got tired of her face and drove her away."
"Boss Li probably doesn't like Miss Gu. How could he like someone so much as to tie her up like a dog? And when he let her go, he even told us not to help her."
"I think the person who's most reluctant to let go of Miss Gu should be Aunt Zhang. After all, she took care of her for so long. Come to think of it, Miss Gu is quite pitiful. If you want to keep a man, you can't use pity, you have to use cuteness. Look at Miss Jiang now. She's good to President Li and to us too. They're the real love. After Miss Gu left, President Li has been taking her to various events. Isn't it said online that the two are getting married soon? And I think Siyan and Sixu both look a lot like Miss Jiang. Do you think Miss Jiang is the mother of these two children?"
“So this play is called Reunion.”
Jiang Yun listened for a while and smiled in his heart. He had to say that these ideas were really big. It would be a pity not to write a script. Jiang Yun deliberately made a fuss.
The three servants who had just gathered together to gossip fell silent in an instant. When they saw that it was Jiang Yun, they looked a little uncomfortable.
There is nothing more embarrassing than this. The object of gossip is right behind them, and no one knows how much she has heard.
Jiang Yun pretended not to hear: "What are you guys talking about when you get together?"
"Nothing... nothing, Miss Jiang, why are you back so early?" Seeing that she didn't hear it, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm back for nothing. I'm a little hungry now. Is there anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes, we'll prepare it now. Miss Jiang, please sit down." The three people were in a hurry, with flattering expressions. One of them went to get dessert and fruit, one prepared rose tea, and one moved the chair in front of Jiang Yun.
