Chapter 473 Trap
....
If it weren't for the explosive news that the North Sili State, Dallas State, and Ogang State under the jurisdiction of the Sheng family declared independence as a country through the Brandenberg Joint Communiqué, I'm afraid all this would have ended happily like a fairy tale.
Family members are reunited and friends are safe and sound. What could be more comforting than this?
Jiang Zhiyue came to Gu Zhaoye's independent ward. Gu Zhaoye was lying on the bed, playing games out of boredom. One of his hands was bandaged and his leg was fractured due to the impact of the airflow when falling from a high altitude. He was hung high and fixed in mid-air.
There were also bandages wrapped around his face and forehead, covering the scrapes and bruises caused by the fall, making him look completely different from his rebellious appearance.
Thanks to his survival, Mrs. Gu donated a large sum of money to the temple and decided to build more free schools and houses for the slums in various states.
"Mom will never stop you from loving anyone you like or want to be with." Mrs. Gu made her position clear and made a promise to Gu Zhaoye.
Gu Zhaoye snorted sullenly and stayed in the ward bored. Jiang Zhiyue came to visit him, and the young man instantly perked up like an eggplant hit by frost.
"The day before yesterday, I went to visit you with a limp, but you didn't wake up. You also saw what I looked like...I didn't want you to see it." These were the first words Gu Zhaoye said when he saw Jiang Zhiyue, and he was impatient to explain.
He didn't want Jiang Zhiyue to misunderstand and think that he had neglected her. He was concerned about her safety all the time, but Jiang Zhiyue had so many people around her.
Every day when the nurse came in to change the dressing, Gu Zhaoye would ask who was with her.
Hearing that Chu Junyue, Qin Si and Mu Liansheng stayed in her ward all night, Gu Zhaoye felt so upset that he decided to commit suicide for love.
After all, Gu Zhaoye had not forgotten that when Qin Si was protecting Jiang Zhiyue and she fell into the sea, her firm and powerful voice echoed in his ears, "Zhaoye!"
She reached out to pull him, but it was Gu Zhaoye who let go of the girl's hand.
He saw the iron pillar collapsed by the airflow and falling towards Jiang Zhiyue. Gu Zhaoye immediately turned around, leaped towards the iron pillar, and fell into the sea holding the pillar.
It is said that it was Xiao Jingrun who saved him... This is really incredible. Xiao Jingrun probably didn't understand his thoughts. Rather than letting him watch Jiang Zhiyue being in love with someone else, it would be better for him to commit suicide for love.
Jiang Zhiyue saw Gu Zhaoye's unhappy expression and guessed what he was thinking, "Zhaoye, thank you."
She has a nice voice, speaks softly, and is as gentle as ever.
"Why should you thank me? Go thank Qin Si. He is your savior." Gu Zhaoye deliberately turned his head away, not wanting Jiang Zhiyue to see the bandage on his face.
He always speaks directly, saying whatever is on his mind, and he is not capable of using sarcastic words.
"I thank him." Jiang Zhiyue smiled slightly.
Gu Zhaoye was a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything and turned around.
Jiang Zhiyue's eyes were curved with a smile, and she seemed to be in a very good mood. Gu Zhaoye couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had seen her polite fake smile, but had never seen her joy from the bottom of her heart.
Little did Jiang Zhiyue know that Gu Zhaoye was safe and sound, with no missing limbs, which made her feel relieved. He was the one person she didn't want to implicate.
Gu Zhaoye died on the ship, and I'm afraid the situation in Brandenberg will be turned upside down again.
"Did you go see Sheng Huaian first, or come to see me?" Gu Zhaoye's train of thought was never on the same channel as Jiang Zhiyue's. He was not keen on trying to figure out Jiang Zhiyue's feelings. He was used to the previous way of getting along with each other and was frank about everything.
"You." Jiang Zhiyue gave a satisfactory answer, and the expression on Gu Zhaoye's face turned from gloomy to bright.
"Don't look for Qin Si to cooperate next time, just look for me." He warned her seriously, and then said to her with a beaming face, "Do you still remember how bravely he attacked Lin Jun on the boat?"
In fact, Gu Zhaoye was not good at using a knife, and he was not very skillful in doing things like cutting the tendons of feet and hands. Lin Jun was in so much pain that he was almost dying, which finally allowed him to vent his anger.
"Please hug me. My whole body is in pain. I hope you feel sorry for me." Gu Zhaoye turned around and opened his arms.
At the same time, across the door, in sharp contrast to Gu Zhaoye's youthful face, Qin Si looked silently for a while through the glass window, using the white wall to block his tall body, and quickly looked away.
He didn't have the hobby of being a voyeur. It was rare for him to see a smile on Jiang Zhiyue's face, and he couldn't help but wonder when was the last time she smiled at him?
Qin Si slid the smart screen on his wrist, and the girl's heart rate data appeared on the display. The curve was smooth and there were no abnormal fluctuations.
He stood in the dark, his facial lines sharply outlined by light and shadow, his thick black eyelashes lifted, and he looked inhuman.
Sheng Huaian stayed on him for a moment and asked meaningfully, "Should I tell her that you monitored Zhiyue's heart rate?"
This trick couldn't be hidden from Sheng Huaian's eyes, Qin Si replied indifferently, "Whatever."
The surroundings were quiet and silent. A gentle breeze blew slowly through the hall, carrying the unique fragrance of midsummer. Sheng Huai'an, whose injuries had not yet healed, leaned against the wall and smiled, "I heard that when I was unconscious, you offered 100 billion to buy out my relationship with the Sheng family. Your personality really hasn't changed at all since you were a child."
Qin Si waited quietly for Sheng Huaian's next words.
Sheng Huaian, "Did you see today's morning joint communiqué?"
Qin Si did not comment, "Zhiyue is very smart."
Old Madam Sheng really wanted to commit treason.
Mr. Sheng expelled Sheng Hui and Sheng Yao from the family tree, but this did not have much impact on Mrs. Sheng who had already made up her mind.
For the long thirty-nine years, from the first day she came to Old Man Sheng's side, she had been waiting for every opportunity to devour the fruits of the Sheng family.
When the Sheng family's branch clan first arrived in Monte State, they began to sell off their assets in various places. However, they and Old Lady Sheng were in the same boat, so the younger generations of the branch clan stayed in their hometowns, and even Sheng Hui's two children stayed in North Siri State.
This is their plan that they had prepared for a rainy day.
Old Madam Sheng won over Old Man Sheng's subordinates and secretly planned a referendum, carefully selecting three representatives to express the wishes of all citizens, who demanded more fair management.
And this justice can be brought to the common people by Old Madam Sheng.
As for what Mrs. Sheng would bring to them, it would be to open the doors of the three major states and welcome all kinds of foreign capital to intervene. She would become an overseas agent.
This is just another way of playing the pyramid game. Rulers who pursue their own selfish interests will completely sell out the interests of the people and become slaves to power.
It seems like a good plan, but in fact it is a huge trap.
