Chapter 233 Second Brother is Here
This is a ward with three layers of protection. The man, leaning against the hospital bed, has his hands bound with restraints and stares blankly ahead.
This shows how much suffering he endured during this period.
With a "click," the ward door was gently opened.
Hearing the noise, Jiang Peng trembled, instinctively covering his head and muttering, "I'm telling the truth... I'm telling the truth! There's a huge black fog, the ship is drowning, everyone's dead..."
"Please... bring my Buddha statue over, I need to offer incense, it will be too late if I don't offer incense now..."
Seeing this, Jiang Liqing explained, "For the past two months, he's been clamoring to burn incense and pray to Buddha every day."
“And he kept…” He paused slightly, “…repeated these words.”
Everyone believed he was trying to disrupt the assessment results with these nonsensical statements.
Nan Ke's eyes flickered slightly. "Uncle Liqing, please go out first."
Jiang Peng covered his head tightly, thinking it was going to be another endless test, but suddenly the surroundings became very quiet.
He slowly looked up and saw a tall, slender young man with slightly curly hair looking at him with gentle and calm eyes, separated by two protective railings.
"Mr. Jiang, it's been a long time."
"It's...you?"
Jiang Peng recognized him immediately!
It's the young man from the hospital room that day! It's... that girl's brother!
What are you doing here?
Nan Ke took two steps forward, looking very kind. "Your test results are in."
Jiang Peng's face immediately turned ashen, and he shook his head angrily: "What's the use of getting out! You still don't believe what I said, and you still won't return the Buddha statue to me!"
"But I really saw it... I really saw it! I'm not lying, what do you want me to say to you..."
"So I want to hear you tell me again what you saw eighteen years ago."
Before he could finish speaking, Nan Ke interrupted him.
Jiang Peng was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, as if he suddenly realized something, his eyes gradually filled with unbelievable joy.
"You...you believe me?!"
Nan Ke opened the two protective barriers, sat down in front of him, and calmly said, "Speak."
"Okay, okay! I'll tell you!"
Jiang Peng nodded repeatedly, his bulky body struggling to lean against the edge of the bed.
Compared to the last time he spoke in front of Madam Jiang, he spoke much more fluently this time.
The information points remain the same: two clouds of fog are fighting, the yacht is out of control, and a reef appears.
Halfway through the conversation, Nan Ke looked up and said, "Wait a minute."
"You said the two clouds of mist fought, and the black mist eventually won. What about the other one?"
Has it disappeared?
"Another group..."
Jiang Peng frowned, trying to recall carefully. After a while, he shook his head somewhat uncertainly.
"...it seems...it hasn't completely disappeared."
He scoffed, "But in the end, only a few scattered wisps of mist will remain; they'll dissipate sooner or later."
It will fall apart sooner or later...
Nan Ke remained silent.
But what if it didn't dissipate...?
"Anyway, in the end they can't escape retribution. Jiang Fengchun's family of six is destined to die."
Jiang Peng struggled to turn over: "To be honest, they got off too easy with this kind of death!"
Nan Ke slowly raised his head.
"……What did you say?"
"I'm telling you, this way of dying is too easy for them."
"Oh, right, there was also that newborn child from back then. I wonder if he was lucky or unlucky."
"At least her three older brothers had a few good days, but that little girl hadn't even reached her one-month milestone."
"Speaking of which, I met her once when she was just born. She looked quite like Jiang Fengchun."
"Ha, so you can't be too lucky. Sooner or later, fate will take it away. If not today, then tomorrow."
"They were born with short lifespans."
He said with a gloating tone, "You tell me, don't you..."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish speaking, the stool next to Jiang Peng's bed was suddenly kicked away!
Before he could react, a shadow fell over his head.
When Jiang Peng looked up again, a cold and powerful hand covered his neck, the knuckles suddenly tightening, and a suffocating feeling overwhelmed him!
He looked up in disbelief, only to see a pair of eyes that were gentle to the point of being indifferent.
"You...you want to kill me?!"
...
On the other side, Tu Chaoxi led the person to a five-star hotel.
On the way, Tu Yao obediently reported everything that had happened in the past two weeks. When they arrived at their destination, Tu Chaoxi was seething with anger.
Tu Yao automatically waited to be scolded.
But after waiting for a while, there was complete silence on the other side.
Tu Yao cautiously looked up. Tu Chaoxi sat on the sofa, her eyes half-closed, the tips of her golden hair obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see her expression.
Tu Yao pondered for a moment, and was just about to apologize when—
"Tu Xiaomao, I know you've been hiding some things from us."
Tu Yao was taken aback.
His eyes darted around unconsciously: "I...I didn't hide it from you, I..."
Tu Chaoxi scoffed: "See if I believe you or not."
After a pause, his tone returned to seriousness:
“Your second brother said that since you don’t want to talk about it, we shouldn’t ask. You must have your reasons.”
“But…” Tu Chaoxi suddenly recalled that dark blue sea.
"You need to be safe, you need to... stay with us."
Can you guarantee that?
Tu Yao couldn't help but look up, and her eyes met Tu Chaoxi's.
Unlike Nan Ke's gentle and tolerant demeanor and Lin Yue's dull and sullen image, her older brother was always irritable and easily angered, with almost zero patience towards her.
Even when he tried to teach her to be close and dependent, he was like a firecracker that would ignite at the slightest provocation.
He is the eldest brother and often inadvertently displays a domineering and authoritarian nature.
This was the first time Tu Yao had seen compromise in those eyes.
He keenly sensed something was amiss and tolerantly chose to compromise.
Tu Yao lowered her head little by little, and after a long while, she let out a soft "hmm".
Then he reached into his pocket, turned around, and left.
Tu Chaoxi: ?
Where to?
Tu Yao sniffed: "Give Second Brother a 'hmm' too."
Tu Chaoxi: ...
...
In the ward, Jiang Peng's eyes were bloodshot, veins were bulging on his face, and his short, shallow breaths grew weaker and weaker.
The young man opposite him remained calm, but the ruthlessness in his eyes made him tremble uncontrollably.
A madman... He's a madman!
Just when Jiang Peng thought he was going to die here, suddenly—
A clear cell phone vibration sounded in my ear.
Nan Ke paused in her grip on his neck.
...One second, two seconds, three seconds.
Automatic connection.
"Second Brother!"
Nan Ke's body trembled slightly.
The clear voice on the other end of the phone was like a vigorous vine, instantly straightening his confused thoughts.
The redness in his eyes gradually faded, and the strength in his other hand slowly loosened.
"...Second Brother?"
After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Tu Yao's voice suddenly became a little nervous.
After a long pause, Nan Ke said softly:
"...Second brother is here."
