Chapter 43 Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng can finally leave with peace of mind
Just when everyone was at a loss, Jiang Zhao received a threatening letter from Wu Hui'e, warning him that if he didn't go, he would have to wait to collect Du Wenwen's body.
Jiang Zhao took the letter home immediately, and everyone discussed a solution together.
Jiang Zhen's opinion was to go. She said, "Let Gu Hui follow us and mark the way for us. It will be easy to solve the problem."
Although Jiang Zhao didn't want to care about Du Wenwen, he also wanted to put an end to the matter. He promised Gu Liancheng: "Dad, you taught me, and I will never be brainwashed by their evil ideas."
Gu Liancheng nodded: "Okay, then it's decided."
Jiang Zhao went to the agreed location. Wu Hui'e changed transfers several times. Fortunately, Gu Hui followed her and called to report her location at any time, otherwise she would have been lost.
Judging from what Wu Hui'e said, if Jiang Suiyi wants to merge his thoughts with Jiang Zhao's, it would be better if Jiang Zhao agrees. In this way, Jiang Zhen won't have to worry.
Jiang Zhao followed Wu Hui'e for several times and finally returned to Sangyu Village. After Wu Shouye's funeral, the few remaining elderly people in the village were taken away by their descendants. Now this small village with more than a dozen households is deserted without a single family. Du Wenwen is imprisoned here.
Jiang Zhao glanced at Du Wenwen, who was tied up tightly and had her mouth sealed, and asked Wu Hui'e, "Did you capture him because you want to merge with her?"
Wu Hui'e did not deny it. It was really sad to think about it. There was a way to make everyone live a good life, but her eldest brother chose to hide and even erased his best friend's memory, rather than let them live in the sun.
The continuation of life is through reproduction, but what if life can continue on its own? Wu Hui'e exuded anticipation for the new mode of survival: "Your father said that fusion will turn you into a brand new individual, just like being reborn, and you will eventually evolve into a better person. There will only be benefits for everyone, so don't be ungrateful."
Jiang Zhao told her not to be too proud: "Jiang Suiyi ages much faster than ordinary people. Don't you consider the sequelae? Even if there are no sequelae, you don't even hesitate to use your own children for experiments. Are you still human? What's the point of living like a monster like this?"
Wu Hui'e didn't want to hear this and interrupted impatiently: "You are just like my elder brother, you only talk about some big principles. I can't care so much. I just want to survive and live better than most people. As long as these two points are met, I don't care about others."
The speed at which Jiang Zhao was aging was visible to the naked eye. He looked more lifeless than he had a few days ago. Thinking that such a man was his father, Jiang Zhao felt sad.
He pointed at the radical Wu Hui'e and questioned Jiang Suiyi: "Do you really want to use your supernatural power on such a person?"
Jiang Suiyi has no sense of morality and has his own set of theories.
He said: "I think there is something wrong with the way this world works. All inheritance is passed down from generation to generation, but the new generation needs to start from scratch to learn those valuable knowledge. Isn't this a waste of time? If it is inherited by individuals, what do you think the world will be like?"
Jiang Zhao sneered: "Even if your body is immortal, your mind is already rigid and rotten. What can you create? When that time comes, the whole world will rise up against you, these inhumane and unchanging old antiques."
Neither of them could convince the other. Jiang Suiyi was dying, his emotions were exhausted, and it seemed that he didn't care whether he was alive or dead. He just wanted to finish what he wanted to say.
"You are still young, and what you lack is experience and ability, which I have. After our minds merge, your body will be yours, and your consciousness will be yours. But you will get enough money to last for several lifetimes, and you won't have to rush around for three meals a day. You will have plenty of time to do what you want. Isn't that good?"
Jiang Zhao asked: "What experience do you have that you can pass on?"
Jiang Suiyi said: "I can pass on my knowledge in the field of medicine to you, and you will achieve great things."
The chill in Jiang Zhao's heart gradually spread, and finally turned into a sneer on his lips: "But I don't like studying medicine at all. How can a person succeed in doing something he doesn't like or even hates? I have no interest in what you have been fighting for your whole life. My mother is right. Take your money and dirty plan and wait to die here slowly."
…
How could Wu Hui'e let Jiang Zhao go? The plan she could come up with was still the same old one. She had stored a batch of explosives before liberation, and dug them out and buried them under the house. At this moment, Wu Hui'e threatened proudly: "There are already explosives buried under the house. Would you rather die together than merge?"
Jiang Zhao was at ease with his family behind him. He turned to look at Du Wenwen and said to Wu Hui'e, "Don't you even ask for her opinion?"
Wu Hui'e tore off the plaster on Du Wenwen's mouth and threatened coldly: "If you don't want to, we will all die together."
Du Wenwen was already furious, and without hesitation, "I would rather blow my body up than merge with a disgusting, disgusting person like you!"
Wu Hui'e was so angry that she slapped Du Wenwen on the face, and then put her mouth back on him.
Du Wenwen gave the answer. Jiang Zhao suddenly attacked and subdued Wu Hui'e who was trying to escape. He confronted Jiang Suiyi. Jiang Suiyi was dying and had no fighting ability, but the fuse was in his hand.
Jiang sighed casually: "I really ordered it."
Jiang Zhao challenged: "Go ahead and see if you are really not afraid of death."
Jiang Suiyi was not afraid and touched the fuse. Wu Hui'e screamed in horror: "Are you crazy? We will die!"
Jiang Zhao sneered: "Look, in the end, he didn't care whether he lived or died. Do you want to become that kind of person?"
Wu Hui'e ran over like crazy, trying to cut the fuse, but she ran too fast and got caught on the rope on the ground and fell heavily, unable to get up. Du Wenwen was prepared to be torn to pieces, but the explosives did not explode.
Soon the door was pushed open, Gu Hui showed his head and waved at Jiang Zhao.
…
Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng rushed over from the provincial capital, which took more than an hour. They stayed in the village for one night until Jiang Suiyi was on his deathbed. Then they asked Jiang Zhao to send Du Wenwen back and call the police. She and Gu Liancheng stayed to clean up the mess.
After receiving the alarm, Jiang Baishu and his aunt rushed over immediately, and Jiang Zhen made up a set of causes and consequences to tell them.
"Jiang Suiyi deceived Wu Hui'e's feelings and insisted on seeing her before he died. After learning that Jiang Zhao was your second brother's son, Wu Hui'e wanted to kidnap him to make your second brother regret his decision, but she couldn't find the opportunity. Du Wenwen also found out, so she kidnapped Du Wenwen. Your second brother tried to persuade her, and the two had an argument. Wu Hui'e got so angry that she had a stroke, and your second brother's condition worsened. This is what happened."
These words were exactly the same as what Jiang Zhao and Du Wenwen said after they called the police. Now that things had come to this, Jiang Qionghui had nothing to say. It was her family that had let Jiang Zhen's family down.
Jiang Suiyi died after a long time. Jiang Zhen touched his body, shook his head, and said to Gu Liancheng: "He was a completely reshaped person with a new mindset. His values and morals were different from those of most people here. Fortunately, he died."
Wu Hui'e was left unattended and died half a month later. Jiang Zhen bought a piece of land for her grave and separated her and Wu Shouye far away. It is estimated that the two siblings did not want to see each other again in the other world.
…
After Du Wenwen returned to school, Jiang Baishu asked her what had happened during the days when she was kidnapped.
This time it was Du Wenwen's turn to remain silent: "I have already told the police what you want to know. There is no other hidden secret. Besides, Jiang Zhao's father is dead. I don't think Jiang Zhao wants to mention it again. Let's not talk about this issue anymore."
Du Wenwen was rescued, fulfilling the prophecy, and Xia Fangsui brought a generous gift to thank Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen did not accept the gift and said, "Du Wenwen was implicated, Jiang Zhao saved her, so we are even now."
Xia Fangsui said: "Although it is related to Jiang Zhao's father, it was Wen Wen who got into trouble because of her meddling in other people's business. I should thank your family."
When Xia Fangsui returned home, Du Wenwen's attitude changed 180 degrees. She asked expectantly, "What did Aunt Jiang say? Are you willing to let bygones be bygones?"
Xia Fangsui took out the gift from her bag and said helplessly, "She didn't accept the thank-you gift. From my perspective, she doesn't want to have any more dealings with our family."
Du Wenwen was greatly disappointed. She sat back in her chair, too frustrated to speak.
Du Wenwen was always worried, and this state continued until she was about to graduate. She asked her family if they could use their connections to allow her to stay in the provincial capital to work.
Du Mengping saw through his daughter's thoughts and realized that she liked Jiang Zhao and wanted to stay in the provincial capital with him, so he discussed with Xia Fangsui: "Our family can find a connection, but it's best to confirm the relationship first. Otherwise, why don't you ask Jiang Zhen what he thinks?"
How could Xia Fangsui not know that Jiang Zhao saved her daughter and the little girl admired him. She could understand this feeling, but now Jiang Zhen's family, including Jiang Zhao, had no such intention. She couldn't just be so impulsive.
She shook her head: "Let Wenwen come back. The distance is too far and time has passed, so her gratitude and love for Jiang Zhao will gradually fade."
Du Mengping was unhappy: "Our Wenwen is so outstanding, how could any boy not like her? Go around Jiang Zhen and ask Jiang Zhao directly."
Xia Fangsui quickly dissuaded him: "Why go and ask Jiang Zhao directly? Don't you think that if Jiang Zhao has that intention, they are young people in school and can determine the relationship by themselves. Why do we need to ask?"
Du Mengping didn't want his precious daughter to be wronged. After thinking about it, he went straight to Jiang Zhen and proposed the idea of marriage: "This is a good match. Jiang Zhao is filial and listens to you the most. As long as you nod, he will definitely agree."
Jiang Zhen turned hostile and said, "I don't interfere with children's relationships. If Du Wenwen and Jiang Zhao were to talk at school, I would have nothing to say, but Jiang Zhao doesn't mean to do that. I can't force them to do it, can I? Your meddling is too unreasonable."
Du Mengping was so angry that he cursed at home for several days. Later, Du Wenwen's family used their connections and assigned her back to Fancheng after graduation.
…
As graduation was approaching, Gu Liancheng talked to Jiang Zhao and asked him if he was willing to carry out the undercover plan, saying that he would be promoted quickly if he came back and made a contribution.
Jiang Zhao looked at his parents whose appearance had not changed in ten years. Although his father had started to grow a beard, he still looked much younger than his peers. If he waited a few more years, something really might go wrong. He knew that his parents would have to move to another place in the next few years. There was a way to grow faster, so Jiang Zhao did not hesitate and nodded in agreement.
Since he wanted to go undercover, he had to find a reason to fire Jiang Zhao. Gu Liancheng was also punished at work, so he took this opportunity to stay at home on standby.
Du Mengping gloated: "See, it's a good thing we didn't get married at that time. If it had happened, our family would have been implicated."
Xia Fangsui was thankful and advised Du Wenwen: "Look, everything depends on fate. You and Jiang Zhao are not destined to be together."
Du Wenwen felt mixed emotions, but she forced herself to say, "I've said it before, I don't have any feelings for Jiang Zhao in that way, it's you who insisted on asking for trouble."
…
In 1961, Gu Pan, Gu Hui and Jiang Tang took the college entrance examination. Gu Hui was admitted to the university of his choice in the capital as he wished. Gu Pan and Jiang Tang applied to the police academy in the provincial capital and became Jiang Zhao's schoolmates. Everyone was talking about it, saying that Jiang Zhao had such an incident, the two girls would definitely be affected, so how could they still be admitted to the police academy? This was unreasonable.
Before reporting to school, Jiang Zhao came back wearing a handsome uniform. He personally came to pick up his two younger sisters to go to the provincial capital. For a while, relatives and friends were all shocked and came to inquire and congratulate him.
Xia Fangsui also heard about it, and went home feeling lost: "Jiang Zhao was an undercover agent, but now he has been promoted to a captain at the provincial public security bureau at such a young age. You really shouldn't have said those sarcastic words in the beginning. Now people outside are laughing at us."
Du Mengping also regretted it: "How would I know? Don't say it in front of Wenwen again."
…
Du Wenwen had just gotten engaged. When she heard that Jiang Zhao had returned, she was so surprised that she dropped the cup in her hand.
She came to Jiang Zhao without telling her family and asked what she had always wanted to ask: "Jiang Zhao, is it because your brothers and sisters don't like me, and your mother doesn't like me, so you don't like me imperceptibly, right? Then I want to ask, in the future, if your sisters and your mother don't like people or things, will you dislike them?"
Sometimes, Jiang Zhao does feel very tired, and said: "Yes, if they don't like it, I won't like it either, because my parents and family are very reasonable. If even they don't like a thing or a person, I have lived with them for so many years and have the same values, so I really won't like it either."
…
Jiang Zhao is back, and Jiang Zhen and Gu Liancheng can finally leave with peace of mind.
Jiang Zhen came back from the factory, and her new look scared Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao thought that his mother still looked the same as before, in her twenties. When he suddenly saw her, he thought that his mother had suffered a lot in the past few years. However, he saw that Jiang Zhen had rustic little curls and was wearing a gray blue cloth dress. Her skin had become much darker and she looked more than ten years older.
Jiang Zhao's eyes were sore. He told himself to be rational and asked jokingly, "Mom, it's okay for you to perm your hair, but you shouldn't get yourself so tanned. Too much sun will make you look old."
Gu Liancheng helped Jiang Zhen adjust her collar to cover the white skin under her neck, and explained: "Your mother put on the powder she mixed herself. She said it makes her look older."
Indeed, after dressing like this, many people said that she looked ten years older in an instant because of Jiang Zhao's affairs in recent years. Of course, these changes were made little by little.
Jiang Zhen rubbed the powder on her face, revealing a small piece of white skin underneath, and said with a smile: "My outfit must have fooled you. Gu Pan, Gu Hui and Jiang Tang passed the exam, and you are back too. Your father and I are going to Sangyu Village to change our lives. That village is deserted and has difficult transportation, but the scenery is beautiful, so it's just right to live there."
Sangyu Village is only an hour's drive from the provincial capital, so it's very convenient to go there for a small gathering during holidays. Jiang Zhao thought it was great and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of my younger brothers and sisters."
