The zombie girl choked, unable to understand why Lan Jiu knew so much about her.
Despite their not-so-good relationship, and the fact that she and Ruozheng are both very powerful while she is the type who relies on men to live, they don't usually have any contact with each other. So why does Lan Jiu know her so well? Could it be that he's secretly observing her?
So, Lan Jiu must actually envy her for being protected by so many men, right?
That's why she so quickly found a man to marry after coming into this world, to fill the loneliness of not having a man in her later life?
Thinking about it this way, her mood instantly improved.
Even someone as powerful as Lan Jiu is nothing more than a little woman who longs for a man; she's no different from Lan Jiu.
"Speak up! What's with that smug look on your face?!"
After eating for a while, Jiang Jiuniang looked up and saw that the zombie girl was looking at her strangely. The girl's eyes were sticky and had an ambiguous smile, which made her feel uncomfortable.
The zombie girl was startled and quickly regained her composure, saying, "I don't know her at all, how would I know?"
Jiang Jiuniang didn't say anything, completely ignoring her, and continued eating, exuding an air of intimidation.
The zombie girl was a little scared and tentatively asked, "I only know that she was imprisoned, but I don't know the specifics."
Do you even believe that yourself?
Jiang Jiuniang put down her chopsticks, a cold smile in her eyes.
These past few days, Jiang Jiuniang has been busy with Lei Zi's wedding and also rushed over to find this zombie girl. She hasn't even had a proper meal. And when she asks a question, she's so hesitant and stammering. Isn't she just walking into her trap?
"You're so jealous of Ruozheng, if something happens to her, wouldn't you try to find out how badly she's doing?"
Ruozheng is different from Lanjiu. Lanjiu felt that survival in the apocalypse was already a problem, so there was no need to find a man to add to her troubles. Therefore, she not only looked down on Xunyi, who had been pursuing her, but also rejected contact with other men.
But Ruozheng is different. When Ruozheng is under a lot of pressure or in a bad mood, she will go to men. She is capable and good-looking. Ruozheng is never short of men, and they are all the ones who take the initiative to come to her.
On the contrary, the zombie girl has to use all her skills to get a man's protection, so it's not surprising that she would be jealous of Ruozheng.
The zombie girl was very unhappy that her deepest secret had been exposed. She was filled with shame, anger and resentment at the same time, and she could hardly maintain the expression on her face.
Jiang Jiuniang could see through it, but she didn't care. She even urged, "I'll only give you one chance. If you tell the truth, I'll let you go this time. Otherwise, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow."
When the zombie girl realized she wasn't joking, she shuddered, closed her eyes, and betrayed those people.
"Ruozheng was imprisoned with her hands and feet chained together. She was tortured every day and forced to reveal the secret of the omnipotent space. They told her she could either create another one or they would take you back. Ruozheng refused to say anything and has been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable over the past few years."
“I swear I’m telling the truth. My new boyfriend works there and he sees Ruozheng being tortured every day. I’ve seen it with my own eyes several times when I went to see him.”
Jiang Jiuniang clenched her fist, and the chopsticks in her hand instantly shattered into tiny fragments. The zombie girl's eyes widened in shock; how could Lan Jiu have become such a terrifying being?
"How did you get here? Can I use that machine code?"
Jiang Jiuniang grabbed her wrist, and the zombie girl understood what she meant, nodding repeatedly: "Of course! Do you want to come back with me?"
Getting Lan Jiu to go back with her would save a lot of trouble. Her original mission was to take her back, and once she had made a contribution, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life.
Jiang Jiuniang asked cautiously, "What side effects will it have on me?"
Xunyi had previously told her that she could only return if the world was destroyed, but the zombie girl said she could go back directly using that machine. Regardless of who was lying, she couldn't let her guard down.
The zombie girl shook her head repeatedly: "Nothing will happen, really! Come back with me quickly! If you don't go back, Ruozheng will be tortured to death by them!"
This gave the zombie girl hope, and she didn't want to let it go. After all, it was Lan Jiu herself who suggested going back, so how much face did she have?
But Jiang Jiuniang wasn't stupid. Seeing how agitated she was, it would be a lie to say there was nothing fishy going on.
She genuinely wanted to save Ruozheng, but she couldn't put herself in danger. Lu Baichuan and the others couldn't go with her, and no one there was willing to help. She was all alone and had to be extremely careful.
She was full and didn't want to waste any more time with the zombie girl. She grabbed the girl by the neck and said through gritted teeth, "I want to hear the truth!"
The zombie girl was terrified and quickly said, "Because you're using this world's body, once you go back, you'll die here."
Once you're dead, you can never come back.
It was impossible to get Jiang Jiuniang to abandon everything here, but Ruozheng couldn't just leave her unattended. She was incredibly frustrated and abandoned her and left.
Lu Baichuan knew she had come looking for someone, so even though it was late, he stayed up and waited for her to come back. When he saw that she looked preoccupied after she returned, he wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he couldn't bring himself to ask.
Jiang Jiuniang ignored Lu Baichuan and went to take a bath, where she immediately fell asleep.
Lu Baichuan waited for a while and when she didn't come out, he thought she was hiding and feeling sad. When he went in, he found her asleep and silently pulled her out of the water.
She must be having some trouble. I won't ask anymore; she'll tell me when she's in a better mood.
The next day, Jiang Jiuniang went about her business as if nothing had happened, showing no intention of telling Lu Baichuan anything. Lu Baichuan began to get anxious, but still didn't say anything.
"I'm going to the military camp. Be careful on your own."
After giving him a few words of advice, he rode away. Jiang Jiuniang stood at the door watching him leave, remaining silent the whole time.
She was never a selfish person, especially knowing that Ruozheng was still suffering because of her, she simply couldn't stand by and watch.
Regardless of how much truth or falsehood Xun Yi and the zombie girl were telling her, Jiang Jiu Niang understood that there was a risk in leaving on her own. This body originally belonged to this world, and if she were to forcibly follow her back to the future, who knew what would happen to her.
If it's really like what the zombie girl said, and she'll die, what will happen to her family and friends?
Especially her two children, how could she bear to part with them?
Once Lu Baichuan was out of sight, Jiang Jiuniang turned and went back to her courtyard. She handed the child to Sun Shi to look after, and then went into her spatial dimension to continue her research, determined to find a solution that would satisfy both parties.
How could someone as clever as Ruozheng not leave some clues in his online space?
