This place wasn't too far from Zhiyoulin, and their only concern was a sudden South Vietnamese inspection. With little money or food, the young and able-bodied had either joined the army or fled north, leaving only the elderly, the weak, and the disabled. This, however, spared the town from hardship, as there wasn't much the South Vietnamese army would value.
By the time they had settled all the "wounded" people, it was already late at night. While Wang Yanzhou was still asleep, Tang Chen asked Lian Xin to get him some hot water. He helped him change his clothes, which were full of holes, and gave him a quick wash, so he could look like a decent human being.
She had never imagined that Wang Yanzhou would fall to such a state. She didn't know how he had survived those months in the forest. All she could see was that his body was covered with tiny scars from thorns, and he was so thin that she could even feel his ribs.
When she thought about how she had always had help when she encountered difficulties and had always had enough food and clothing, she felt inexplicably sorry for Wang Yanzhou.
Tang Chen sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Wang Yanzhou for a long time. When he realized that Wang Yanzhou was about to wake up, Lian Xin forcibly pulled him out and replaced him with someone else to take care of him.
After coming out, Tang Chen did not return to her room. Instead, she asked Lian Xin to leave her alone to find Wang Ruo. When she entered the room, Wang Ruo was still awake. Tang Chen vented her anger for a long time before she calmed down and communicated with Wang Ruo normally.
After Wang Ruo briefly described to Tang Chen how she had found these people, Tang Chen didn't ask any other questions, but continued to repeatedly ask Wang Yanzhou if he could be cured. Only after Wang Ruo repeatedly assured him did the repeater stop.
The next morning, when they gathered to discuss the matter, Tang Chen seemed like a different person. She no longer cried endlessly like she had the day before. She seemed to have calmed down a lot and had matured a lot. Although this was a good sign, Li Xinzhai, who had woken up and knew what had happened, became even more worried about her.
When several people were talking about the Bugui Peak, Tang Chen and his friends expressed full doubts about whether they could invite someone from the Jiang family to come and treat Wang Yanzhou and others in person.
Wang Ruo didn't explain much, just sipping her tea with a smile on her face. However, Hua Wuxin said something else: "Wang Ruo's relationship with the Jiang family is far more complicated than you think. I can tell you something. The person who asked me to investigate you was the woman in front of you."
"Why..." Before Tang Chen could finish her question, Wang Ruo told her the answer directly: "Because you and Jiang Wanying look so much alike. And Jiang Wanying suddenly disappeared from the world some time before you appeared. At that time, I thought you were her and just lost your memory. So when I found out that you and Yan Zhou were involved, I was really shocked."
Just the speculation about the relationship between Jiang Wanying and Wang Yanzhou was enough to make Tang Chen dizzy. Adding Wang Ruo, Tang Chen's rationality told her that it was better not to discuss this issue: "The relationship between you two is really complicated. By the way, let's not talk about this anymore. Yanzhou and the others are like this. What if the people of South Vietnam suddenly find out?"
Wang Ruo flirted with Hua Wuxin and said, "What are you afraid of? Isn't Hua Wuxin here? If fighting isn't an option, then causing trouble is definitely an option. This poison barrier isn't complicated to resolve; it just takes time."
Hua Wuxin threw the pumpkin seeds in his hand onto the table and complained with a look of despair: "...Can you please stop treating me like a servant all the time?"
Wang Ruo smiled and said, "Who told us to be here? You are the most capable one."
Hua Wuxin didn't know whether to cry or laugh when she heard this: "...I deeply regret meeting you and your unlucky master."
Wang Ruo propped her chin up with her hand and said coquettishly, "After all, I have to call you Uncle Master. Little Uncle Master, if you don't want to help me, then I'll do it for you. Are you really not going to help me?"
Hua Wuxin felt uncomfortable being looked at by Wang Ruo. If this young woman had treated her like this in the past, his senior brother, her master, would have beaten him up from the house to the roof in a matter of seconds: "I just don't like the tone of your voice, it's so sarcastic, hurry up and return to normal!"
So, the next second, Wang Ruo switched back to his domineering CEO mode and said, "Why don't you quickly arrange for someone to go? Qingliang Valley can't do without him."
It wasn't that Wang Ruo couldn't help but do what he was talking about, but he couldn't guarantee the results. If this got out of hand and South Vietnam found out, his business in South Vietnam would be ruined. "Let me be clear, I can only say that I'm doing my best to hold back so many people. As for how long I can hold out, I'm not sure."
Wang Ruo said confidently, "It won't take too long. I've already sent a letter back. They can travel much faster than us."
Seeing Wang Ruo's masterful planning, Tang Chen suddenly felt that he might have a crush on her: "Auntie, the legendary auntie, who are you?"
Wang Ruo said modestly, "It's nothing, it's just that I have good character and know many friends."
Tang Chen raised his head and sighed. Why? They were all from the same place, so why did their fates differ? Wang Ruo seemed truly amazing. "Why don't I have good character?"
Wang Ruo gently patted Tang Chen's hand and said, "My child, this is all fate's arrangement, it's all the fault of timing. If you were in my time, maybe you could also meet such a group of friends."
Everything else would be fine, but Hua Wuxin couldn't accept Wang Ruo's words: "That's enough, you have such bad friends! Be careful that those petty people in the Jiang family won't help you once they find out." Wang Ruo said leisurely while cracking melon seeds: "Even if you don't consider my face, you should consider Wang Jiu's. As far as I know, the old man of the Jiang family announced not long ago that he would hand over the affairs of the Jiang clan to Wang Jiu. I don't think many people would dare to stop the future head of the family. Besides, Yan Zhou has something that he and Bai Jiujiu have been thinking about day and night."
Hearing this, Tang Chen was slightly stunned: "How do you know this?"
Wang Ruo raised an eyebrow and said, "As the saying goes, the secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. When it's time for you to know, you'll naturally know. As a human being, sometimes you have to be a little more Buddhist, so that you can get by."
After they calculated the time needed for detoxification and all the possible situations that might arise, Tang Chen quietly slipped out while Hua Wuxin and Wang Rulianxin were chatting happily, preparing to implement the next plan.
