Chapter 85
After the man in black cloak left, Ji Wenxue walked on the road and still couldn't calm down for a long time.
After searching for her mother for so long without any news or clue, she suddenly got such good news. How could she not be excited?
Ji Wenjun silently repeated her mother's name in her heart. As if by some kind of magic, Ji Wenxue's body became very comfortable.
So... whether it's true or not, at least she wants to try it.
Ji Wenxue stood at the door of the tree house for a moment before pushing it open. Her steps and movements were slow and light, trying to avoid making any noise. This thoughtful behavior was something she had developed in the past to avoid disturbing everyone's rest, but today was different.
Ji Wenxue glanced upstairs. It was pitch black. It looked like everyone was busy today and no one was back. Although it was immoral, she felt a little happy at the sight. What she was about to do secretly was something shameful, so of course the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
Ji Wenxue returned to her room first. Everything was still the same as before she left. When she left, Wanti said that she would not touch anyone's room and everyone could come back and stay anytime they wanted.
Perhaps it was late at night, and thinking about this in the empty room, Ji Wenxue suddenly felt very uncomfortable. But remembering Black Cloak's words, she quickly adjusted her mood and began to search through the boxes and cabinets for something.
However, the more she searched, the more anxious she became. She remembered that she had clearly put it here, so how could it be missing? Anxiously and anxiously squatting on the ground, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Ji Wenxue was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat. She turned around and saw Wan Di holding something in her hand.
The next second, Wan Di was sitting on the edge of the bed, with Ji Wenxue standing beside her anxiously. Wan Di even knew what he was looking for, and if he kept it a secret, he would probably die a miserable death.
Ji Wenxue simply gritted her teeth and confessed, "This is what I'm looking for..." When she looked at Wan Di, she saw that Wan Di was also looking at her. The events of the past few days flashed through her mind. Whether good or bad, they were all secrets, and she didn't dare tell anyone else.
Now it was like the body floating on the seabed could finally step onto the ground. Ji Wenxue was halfway through her words when her eyes suddenly turned red. She threw herself on Wandi, hugged her, and said what she wanted to say most, "Sister, I found my mother, her name is Ji Wenjun!"
Wandi patted Ji Wenxue's back gently, pulled Ji Wenxue to sit next to her, and wiped her tears with her fingers, "I'm happy for you, too."
After calming down, Ji Wenxue looked at the wood beside the bed and started the story from the beginning.
"That day, I was walking down the street when a figure in a black cloak suddenly stopped me..." Ji Wenxue explained as concisely as possible. "She asked me to find wood in the direction of the tree house and exchange it for information about my mother. I wanted to know where my mother was, but I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I gave her a fake piece of wood. After looking at it for a while, she discovered it and ordered me to exchange it for the real one, otherwise she would make my mother disappear forever."
"When I got home, I suddenly thought of Black Cloak's hesitation before exposing the fake. It was the smell. I brought the wood to the room and left it there for a while, so it was stained with the scent of the room. It was this little smell that made it look like the real thing. So this time I put a large piece of wood in the room and left it there for a few more days." This was the reason why Ji Wenxue panicked when she found that something was missing just now. What would she do if the fake was gone?
Ji Wenxue looked at Wandi, who picked up the piece of wood and studied it while listening to her.
"You only exchanged this, no other deal?"
Ji Wenxue wanted to nod, but the moment she lowered her head, she suddenly thought of the battle plan for that day. She couldn't sit still any longer, her knees buckled and she knelt down. "There's...there's something else. Our battle plan. Sorry, I modified it a bit and took a few days off to get in, but I didn't dare change too much because I was worried about being exposed."
Wandi still had the same expression as before, "Let me see your changes."
Ji Wenxue quickly took out the revisions she had made. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had been blinded by greed. No matter what the reason was, how could she betray her partner?
"Sister Wandi..."
Ji Wenxue was about to speak when Wandi interrupted her, "Wenxue, I understand your urgency to find your mother, but have you ever thought about the losses this will bring to us?"
"I..." Ji Wenxue wanted to explain.
"Do you think you can solve all problems by just playing a few tricks like this?"
Ji Wenxue didn't dare to speak anymore.
"You've been acting so recklessly and boldly lately." Wandi stood up. "Just stay here and sort out your feelings."
Ji Wenxue lowered her head and said, "Yes." Suddenly she raised her head again, "The woman in the black cloak will come to get the wood at 23:00. Can you help me give it to her, sister..."
But Wandi looked even angrier. "You're still stubborn. You dare to believe the words of a person of unknown origin? Do you know what that person wants these things for? You're just giving them whatever they want."
The door was closed and Ji Wenxue sat on the floor, feeling confused.
Wandi held the wood in her hand. Although she had no idea what the black cloak wanted the wood for, she knew it was up to no good. Wandi hid in a tree, and at 11:00 PM, she saw a figure in a black cloak. At first, he wandered around leisurely, but then, perhaps angry that Ji Wenxue hadn't shown up, he kicked stones, branches, and even a passing turtle.
Is there something wrong with this guy? Wandi complained in his heart as he climbed down from the tree and, watching the opportunity, placed the optical drive fishing line on the vital part of the black cloak.
"Coming in uninvited and kicking my things, isn't that bad?"
The man in the black cloak remained silent. The man in front of him hid his aura and whereabouts so well, and his methods were vicious and skillful. He knew the other party's strength without even trying to test his moves.
"Why aren't you talking? What are you doing here? You're looking around, looking for someone, right?"
The black cloak remained silent.
"Hmm? You don't like talking, or you don't like talking to me?" Wandi pulled the fishing line in her hand, and suddenly felt like she was having fun. "Want to know where Wen Xue went?"
Wandi's words finally made the black cloak speak, "Where did she go?"
"Of course you were punished for giving the enemy the battle plan. It's your fault, after all."
The black cloak fell silent again, but after a while he couldn't help but speak, "She...she was threatened."
"Really?" Wandi asked nonchalantly.
"Yes!" the black cloak answered immediately.
"Then what did you threaten her with?"
The black cloak fell silent again. Someone suddenly moved closer, and along with a scent came a perfect face. The mask on the face was taken off, and the black cloak's eyes widened, not daring to move.
"I don't like talking to people whose faces I can't see."
Looking at the unfamiliar face across from her, Wandi reassured herself that she had never seen this person before. She already knew everything she needed to know, and she didn't want to play along any longer, so she simply pulled her hand.
The man in black cloak felt the pressure of the fishing line and immediately walked forward reflexively. He kept walking like this until he was trapped in a room.
After Wandi left, she checked the information again. The black-cloaked man's name was Wuyou, and his life story was quite complicated and pitiful. He had also been at that base a while ago. So, it seemed that the so-called information about Ji Wenjun was probably just a name.
Although she never said it, she had been investigating Ji Wenxue's mother and father since she picked him up from the roadside.
There was barely any progress. There was no news at all, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. At least he wasn't on the death list, so there was a high probability he was still alive...
Thinking about the battle plan Ji Wenxue had handed over, Wan Di immediately contacted Jiang Zouwei and the others. Those idiots had never tasted the taste of a big victory! Besides, as Ji Wenxue said, it was unknown whether Wuyou's words were true or not. It would be better to test them this way. At least there would be no regrets.
Ji Wenxue stayed in her room, unaware of what was happening outside. She had only recently felt a deep sense of sadness: a place that used to be filled with laughter and joy, but now, apart from her, who couldn't leave, no one had returned.
But thinking that everyone was busy fighting, and that such busyness might very well lead to a mess caused by herself, Ji Wenxue felt extremely ashamed and regretful.
The words she heard then echoed in her ears again.
"It's nothing but your genes—just born bad."
Is this really the case? Ji Wenxue wanted to tell herself firmly, as she had before, that it was a lie. But this time, something like this happened again, and she couldn't say it so easily. She carried the seeds of evil in her body, and whether it was intentional or unintentional, she would do things that hurt others.
People like this are so annoying.
I am so disgusting to be like this.
The tree house, which had been quiet for several days, finally opened its door today. Ying Zhao came here to get something, and suddenly saw a door upstairs opened. Ji Wenxue was standing in the room. "Sister Ying Zhao, I have something to talk to you about. Can you come in for a moment?"
Ying Zhao nodded.
When I got to the room, I saw that Ji Wenxue had bruises under her eyes. "How did you get yourself into this state? Have you not slept well these past few days?"
Ji Wenxue was no longer in the mood to care about that. She casually responded and got straight to the point: "Sister Ying Zhao, do you know about Sister Wan Di's blood transfusion for Tun Xing?"
Ying Zhao nodded, "I know. I was right there at the time, thinking that if anything went wrong, I could take action immediately."
Ji Wenxue finally looked a little happier. "I wasn't there at the time, but I heard that after the blood transfusion, Tunxing's personality changed. It was like he became a completely different snake. In this case, Tunxing's genes must be different from before, right?"
Ying Zhao nodded, feeling a little weird. "Wenxue, why are you asking these questions suddenly? Do you want to have a pet or something? Oh, could it be that you suddenly had a good idea to combine your programming and medicine?" Ying Zhao spoke more and more cheerfully, and the next second he heard Ji Wenxue's voice.
"I'm curious because I also want... a blood transfusion."
