Jiang Yunzhou's feelings became even more complicated.
If he were Xie Zhiyan, he probably wouldn't have been able to discover this and make arrangements in advance.
Then Shu Ying might really be...
Jiang Yunzhou closed his eyes.
To put it bluntly, he was simply incompetent. He couldn't guarantee Shu Ying's safety, couldn't provide her with the protection she deserved, and wasn't as vigilant, perceptive, or thoughtful as Xie Zhiyan...
Feeling Xie Zhiyan turn around and look at him, Jiang Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his eyes, and was completely convinced.
"You really protected Yingying very well."
Xie Zhiyan seemed to have seen through Jiang Yunzhou's thoughts, and his expression softened somewhat.
"Don't worry, we will take responsibility for bringing all the remaining people who killed Guilin and fled last time to justice."
Jiang Yunzhou looked up upon hearing this.
"Those people are very cunning..."
Xie Zhiyan's expression was affirmative.
"Now that Wu Zhengyi has been caught, we have a breakthrough. We just need to follow the clues."
"Moreover, today's events were not entirely my doing; Shuying is also very clever."
“Even if I hadn’t discovered and defused the bomb beforehand, she would have been fine.”
Jiang Yunzhong was somewhat puzzled.
Thinking of Shu Ying, Xie Zhiyan couldn't help but smile slightly.
"She is very clever and protects herself well. Before she came, she suggested leaving a car outside to deliberately create an opening and use it as bait to lure them in."
"In fact, her bait did work. Our men have just successfully captured Wu Zhengyi's accomplices as well."
As Xie Zhiyan said this, Jiang Yunzhou could sense a hint of pride in his voice.
I am proud of Shuying.
Jiang Yunzhou was somewhat dazed.
Xie Zhiyan, who usually appears calm and composed, was surprisingly proud and elated by his lover's small achievements...
Jiang Yunzhou suddenly seemed to understand why Shu Ying had chosen Xie Zhiyan.
"Could you tell me the specific details?"
He wanted to know more about Shu Ying's situation.
He thought Xie Zhiyan would refuse, but to his surprise, Xie Zhiyan looked at him silently for a moment and then nodded.
Xie Zhiyan escorted Jiang Yunzhou back to his dormitory first. As they walked, Xie Zhiyan explained the details of the incident to Jiang Yunzhou.
"Actually, it's not just about Wu Zhengyi. On the way here, Yingying told me that she felt something was off about you these past few days."
"She was worried about your safety and told me to be sure to take care of you."
"She has always considered you a very good friend."
Jiang Yunzhou listened as he walked, his eyes initially filled with shock, but after hearing what he heard, he remained silent for a long time.
In the end, all the emotions in my heart turned into a gentle, somewhat relieved smile.
"It seems I really don't understand Shu Ying at all."
He always thought Shuying was a flower in a greenhouse.
After all, they had grown up together since childhood. Shu Ying had always been pampered and had no shortage of money or food, doing what she was interested in every day without any worries.
Generally speaking, even wild animals that grow up in a harmless environment will lose their alertness and fighting spirit.
But Shu Ying seemed different... Shu Ying's reactions on both occasions shocked him.
She was far smarter and more perceptive than he had imagined, and had the ability to protect herself and those around her.
She is not a delicate flower in a greenhouse, but more like a free and intelligent little bird soaring under the blue sky.
"Shu Ying is far more outstanding than I imagined."
This further explains why Shu Ying chose Xie Zhiyan, not because of her parents or family, nor for any other reason, but because Xie Zhiyan is a really good person and she genuinely likes him.
She is very clear-headed and has always known what she wants. Everything she has now is probably the result of her careful consideration.
Jiang Yunzhou gave a self-deprecating laugh.
It seems he has absolutely no chance.
Jiang Yunzhou listened to this all the way to the dormitory entrance.
Xie Zhiyan finished speaking and silently turned to watch Jiang Yunzhou leave.
Jiang Yunzhou took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped and turned back.
The two exchanged glances, and without saying a word, they already understood each other's meaning.
Jiang Yunzhou smiled with relief.
"after……"
He wanted to tell Xie Zhiyan that he must take good care of Shuying in the future, so that she could live a carefree and easy life for the rest of her life.
Even though the words were already on the tip of his tongue, he ultimately didn't say them.
Because he realized that he had no standing or qualifications.
Shu Ying clearly assigned everyone their proper place.
He was just her friend, her childhood friend, nothing more.
What right or position does a friend have to meddle in other people's family and emotional matters?
Jiang Yunzhou felt an indescribable sense of frustration.
It's time for him to realize his place.
Jiang Yunzhou smiled bitterly, yet sincerely.
What I wanted to say was, I wish you both all the best in the future.
Xie Zhiyan observed all the changes in Jiang Yunzhou's expression, nodded with pursed lips, and turned to leave under Jiang Yunzhou's gaze, his figure quickly disappearing from sight.
Jiang Yunzhou let out a long sigh and was about to return to his dormitory when he turned around and saw Lu Chenyang after taking only a few steps.
Lu Chenyang waved to her and immediately jogged over.
"I was just about to look for you, I didn't expect that we would run into each other like this."
"What's wrong? Is there still something at work that hasn't been resolved?"
Lu Chenyang looked at him and smiled.
"What kind of work is this? It's already past the workday, why are you still thinking about work? This won't do, Lao Jiang."
Lu Chenyang spoke in a deliberately relaxed tone.
Having worked together for so many years, how could he not see that Jiang Yunzhou was in a bad mood?
Today, it just so happens that Shu Ying and Xie Zhiyan came together again.
Without even thinking about it carefully, he knew roughly why Jiang Yunzhou was in such a low mood.
Lu Chenyang smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Life is full of disappointments, so don't keep them in your heart. Otherwise, you'll kill yourself with your own frustrations sooner or later."
"You probably haven't eaten yet, have you? It just so happens that we solved a big problem today, capturing the enemy agent who had been lurking among us. That's a good thing."
"Come on, let's find a place to have a couple of drinks, relax, and help ease your depressed mood."
Jiang Yunzhou hesitated for a moment when he heard him mention drinking.
"Would you like some alcohol...?"
Lu Chenyang smiled and put his arm around his shoulder.
"Yeah, I know you don't usually drink much, but isn't this an extraordinary case? Trust me, there's nothing that a couple of drinks can't solve."
"What can dispel sorrow? Only wine!"
In the past, no matter how much his colleagues invited him, Jiang Yunzhou would never have agreed.
