    Chapter 177

    Leng Dongchi took the letter first and began to read it, and the others gathered around. The handwriting on the letter wasn’t the meticulous, rigid type, but rather had a lively energy, obviously the person writing the letter didn’t care much about formalities, and instead focused more on conveying the content of the letter.

    The people who wrote the letter were, of course, He Linglong and Jiang Juncheng, who had disappeared after everyone was rescued from Clear Water City. At the beginning of the letter, they first expressed their sincere apologies to the four of them. What followed was from Jiang Juncheng’s perspective. She said that after this disaster subsided, she finally got in touch with her family who were not in Clear Water City, but at the time there were too many things she needed to handle and coordinate, and because the rescue team’s rigid requirement was for the survivors displaced from Clear Water City to stay in the hospital for a full seven-day observation and care period, she only took He Linglong with her when she left.

    But this didn’t mean that she had forgotten everyone who had protected her along with He Linglong, on the contrary, she always thought about the situation of the four of them, and after inquiring everywhere, she learned that the four of them were all in the hospital undergoing health observation. She said that she was very fortunate to have met the four of them during that most dangerous time. But although everyone survived this disaster, the subsequent livelihood problems are still serious and cannot be ignored. During that time, because she was just an ordinary person, she received a lot of care from everyone, and now that she has returned to a normal life, and she has this ability, she wants to do her best to help everyone arrange the things after they leave the hospital. As for the specifics, she would talk about them after everyone met.

    Reading this, the others couldn’t help but smile at each other, all feeling quite emotional. This journey had indeed been full of dangers and hardships, so many people around them had died, and the fact that the four of them were able to survive could only be said to be a little luckier than others.

    But the four of them had one question—Jiang Juncheng said that she had the ability to help everyone settle down in life, was she saying that she could help them find a place to live and a job?

    It wasn’t just one or two of them, the living and work arrangements for as many as four people were not a simple matter, how was she going to do it?

    “Did Xiao Jiang ever say what her family does?” Jiang Yuan looked around at the others, full of question marks.

    “No, she only said that she was a girl who liked mechanical modification, and she didn’t say anything about her family. Later, we encountered all kinds of things along the way, and we didn’t have the leisure to get to know each other.” Chen Li chimed in, grabbing an orange from the small table next to her and peeling it.

    “That’s really mysterious enough.” Liu Qingyu scratched her neck and muttered.

    “Hey, who cares. Since Xiao Jiang said it’s okay, with the kind of life-or-death friendship we had before, she couldn’t possibly be lying to us, just wait. Anyway, we don’t have any better arrangements ourselves.” Jiang Yuan moved closer to the letter again and said to the others.

    Finally, the letter came to an end, Jiang Juncheng said in the letter that the hospital’s observation period for the four of them was almost halfway over, she knew that she would have to wait until the observation period was completely over, and confirm that there were no problems with the four of them in all aspects of their health, before she could justifiably take the four of them away. So she hoped that they could spend the remaining few days in the hospital in peace. After they met, not only would everyone’s living arrangements be discussed again, but there were also some other things to discuss with everyone. Signed: He Linglong, Jiang Juncheng.

    “Other things?” Leng Dongchi looked at Chen Li, who was throwing orange segments into her mouth, and raised her eyebrows in inquiry.

    “Yeah, other things. But don’t look at me, I don’t know what she means, anyway, there are only a few days left, when you see them on the day you leave the hospital, you can ask them yourselves.”

    “Hey, Dad, is the location of the laboratory selected?” Jiang Juncheng stood in front of the window of the hospital room, holding the cell phone that her assistant had just bought, with a solemn expression.

    “Yes… I know.”

    After Jiang Juncheng hung up the phone, she thought to herself. She knew the complexity of this matter, whether these friends, after experiencing so much hardship, would still be willing to get involved in such dangerous and unknown research, she had no certainty.

    He Linglong saw Jiang Juncheng’s worried expression, walked over and gently patted her shoulder and asked, “What’s wrong? Worried that they won’t agree?”

    Jiang Juncheng nodded: “Regardless of whether they agree or not, we must explain the key points to them in detail, after all, the research is to deal with the problems that will follow.”

    “By the way, have you dealt with the matter with Yao Jinglin?” Jiang Juncheng took He Linglong’s hand, eased her facial expression, and asked with concern.

    “Yeah, in the official view, I and she are just the relationship between an informant and a person who accepted the case, no one else knows about the other things. So I only need to take them to the ruins with Yao Jinglin. As for the dangers involved, I have already told Yao Jinglin, she will arrange how to deal with it.” He Linglong stretched out her other hand and pressed it between Jiang Juncheng’s eyebrows, wanting to smooth out the small “mountains and rivers” between her eyebrows.

    Jiang Juncheng simply buried her face in He Linglong’s palm, and said in a muffled voice: “It’s good to have you, otherwise the research would also be a big and clueless difficult matter in my eyes.”

    “How is the investigation of Longtai going?” He Linglong stared at the black and shiny hair on the top of Jiang Juncheng’s head, her eyes softened for a moment and then became cold.

    Jiang Juncheng raised her head, shook off her previous tired appearance and said: “We have already found a lot of key clues. Although our people have mastered Longtai’s network of relationships in the country, their overseas forces behind them are very deeply hidden, and every time we are about to touch the core, the clues will be broken.”

    He Linglong frowned, thought for a moment and said: “Then we can’t just be led by the nose by them like this, we have to think of a way to take the initiative.” Jiang Juncheng nodded in agreement, “I’m also thinking, maybe we can start with Longtai’s commercial transactions, since they want to carry out some unspeakable business in this country, it will inevitably involve a large amount of capital flow and resource allocation.”

    At this time, the atmosphere in the ward was a little dignified. Jiang Juncheng continued: “This matter still needs to be treated with caution, once we start to dig deeper, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the forces behind Longtai, and may even suffer their counterattack. Moreover, we must now consider the affairs of our friends.”

    He Linglong gently held Jiang Juncheng’s hand, her eyes firm: “No matter what, we must find out the truth and the filth behind it, after all, the other party’s hand has already strangled our necks, and what we have to do is to protect those who may become the other party’s target, and also to make the overseas group behind Longtai have nowhere to hide.”

    Jiang Juncheng nodded, held her hand in return, her eyes revealing determination and courage. The two looked at each other and saw the determination to break the situation in each other’s eyes. If the threats are deeply rooted, then they must dig them up and solve them all. The cities destroyed by the other party and the innocent lives killed, all of these, Jiang Juncheng wants the other party to pay the price.
