TWWMABMTBH Chapter 82
by VolareWhy is this person’s reaction different from a normal person? The researcher was stumped by Rong Ziyan’s two sentences and couldn’t speak for a long time.
But Rong Ziyan clearly saw a prompt above his head, [Conspiracy Value 3000].
So he was indeed ill-intentioned.
Rong Ziyan calmly grabbed his wrist and pulled him toward the security room.
“Come on, don’t be nervous, let’s talk about how Ji Shu became a monster.”
“!!!” The unfamiliar researcher’s face was immediately filled with panic, and his first reaction was to run.
However, as soon as he exerted force, the hand Rong Ziyan had on his wrist suddenly tightened. This tall man, over 1.8 meters, was directly pinned to the wall by Rong Ziyan. His head hit the wall hard, and he was dizzy, unable to recover for a long time.
System: Holy crap! Rong, are you this violent?
Rong Ziyan shook his hand: I didn’t hold back, I treated him like a boar about to be neutered.
System: …
However, Rong Ziyan didn’t have time to explain. He hurriedly called Boss Fat.
“Teacher, I’ve encountered a strange person.”
However, Boss Fat’s side seemed very noisy. It was several seconds before he said, “Ziyan, your senior brother will come to pick you up and take you back to the dormitory later. There are people from Ji Shu watching over there, so stay inside and don’t come out.”
“What’s wrong?” Rong Ziyan’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly remembering what the suspicious person had said about Ji Shu suddenly falling ill.
But Boss Fat seemed to have no time to explain, hurriedly telling him to “be good” before hanging up.
Rong Ziyan stood still, his brow deeply furrowed.
System: Host, are you worried about Ji Shu?
Rong Ziyan: No, I’m just wondering why Ji Shu would let himself get into trouble.
Rong Ziyan wasn’t stupid, anyone could tell with their toes that the Zhou family was now cornered and desperate. It was likely they were trying to set him up for complete disgrace. And Ji Shu was the bait in the trap.
Rong Ziyan had spent a long time with Ji Shu. At first glance, he seemed unreliable, clingy, and loved to act spoiled, but to have achieved what he had today, he could never be as simple as he appeared on the surface.
What’s more, Ji Shu had so many people around him!
So, if something really happened to him, it could only mean one thing: it was deliberate. To achieve some purpose.
But the Zhou family and the Ji family were not in the same field. The explanation that Ji Shu was sticking his neck out for Ji Lao was really far-fetched. So, what other reason could make him go to such lengths? Even risking his own life?
The system tentatively opened its mouth: Could it be for you?
Rong Ziyan laughed wryly: How is that possible? Ji Shu isn’t an idiot.
The system instantly fell silent, but Rong Ziyan’s next sentence made the system suddenly feel a chill.
“Not counting the present, I’ve only met Ji Shu twice. Once in the village, and once at school.”
“Even if I saved him when he fainted at school, if he wanted to repay the favor, sending Old Wu and the others would have been more than enough. Why this time?”
“If it’s really for me, don’t you think Ji Shu’s feelings are too abrupt?”
“Sudden, profound, and deep love? To the point of being willing to risk his life for me?”
The system was momentarily speechless, unable to find any words to explain. What Rong Ziyan said was indeed flawless, but he lived too cautiously. So cautiously that even if he suddenly encountered the kindness of others, he had to carefully analyze the cause and effect, and be sure he could handle it before opening up and accepting it.
It wasn’t that he was wrong, but it was just too exhausting to live this way.
But Rong Ziyan didn’t want to explain. Fortunately, his senior brother had arrived, and he first had the security guards who had come with him take the researcher to the police station, and then he took Rong Ziyan back to his dormitory.
“Junior brother, be careful these next few days. Don’t touch any food that wasn’t delivered by me.”
“It’s the Zhou family…”
“Yes.” The senior brother’s face was very ugly, “If it weren’t for this incident, we wouldn’t have found out that the Zhou family had planted people in our research institute. Usually, you wouldn’t notice anything, but when something happens, they all turn out to be traitors…”
“But don’t worry, at most two days, all the nails will be pulled out. We won’t let these bastards get away with it!”
As they spoke, they arrived at Rong Ziyan’s dormitory.
Rong Ziyan stood at the door and asked his senior brother one last question, “How is Ji Shu?”
The senior brother shook his head, “The hospital just issued a critical condition notice. It might be a little serious. But Master said it’s nothing to worry about, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Thinking about the reason for Ji Shu’s poisoning, the senior brother thought for a while and decided to hide part of the truth.
Rong Ziyan knew that he was hiding something, but he didn’t bother to ask.
The dormitory door closed, and after Rong Ziyan entered, he met Old Wu, who was inside waiting in full alert.
Old Wu gave an awkward smile.
Rong Ziyan also smiled, “Guys from Chongqing aren’t afraid of their wives?”
Old Wu looked like he was about to cry, “No, no, no, sir, I’m a genuine Beijing native.”
Rong Ziyan was safe for the time being, but at the hospital, Ji Shu was being rescued, and the scene was chaotic.
Boss Fat was on the phone, yelling at Rong Ziyan’s senior brothers to investigate the people in the research institute.
Beside him sat a stern-faced little old man, accompanied by a beautiful middle-aged woman, plus two young men, one older and one younger. Both of them resembled Ji Shu in some ways, but their temperament and the refinement of their features were not even close to Ji Shu.
Especially their eyes, they looked like they were ill-intentioned, gloomy and unpleasant.
Boss Fat put down the phone, looking at the four of them unhappily, “If you can’t help, just get lost!”
“I guess Ji Shu wouldn’t want to see you even when he wakes up.”
“Don’t be like that, second brother. Ji Shu is still a biological son of the Ji family. He’s so seriously ill, how can we not come and see him?” The woman said this, but her eyes were full of schadenfreude.
Ji Shu had been suppressing them for several years. Now that this sickly person was finally going to die, how could she leave early and miss this good show?
In just this short time of emergency treatment, the critical condition notice had already been issued twice. It was very likely that the third time the emergency room door opened, it would be the bad news of Ji Shu’s death.
The little old man also smiled, as if tacitly agreeing with the woman’s statement, but the greed in his eyes was disgusting.
Looking at this, Boss Fat suddenly felt sad for Ji Shu.
Back then, when Ji Shu’s maternal family and the Ji family had a marriage alliance, it wasn’t necessary for the marriage to be with the eldest son. It was the eldest son who had actively sought the marriage, and in passing, seized control of the Ji family.
Boss Fat was devoted to scientific research and didn’t care about power or status, so he gradually withdrew from the family. But even so, he still remembered the bright and beautiful appearance of his eldest sister-in-law at the wedding.
Then, in the blink of an eye, three years passed, Ji Shu was born, and Ji Shu’s mother died in childbirth. Before the 100th day of his wife’s death, his good elder brother married his current wife and brought her two children into the family.
One of them was three years older than Ji Shu, and the other was the same age as Ji Shu, only a few days younger. This made Ji Shu’s existence a joke.
Even worse, even tigers wouldn’t eat their own cubs, but Ji Shu’s biological father almost killed him when he was about to come of age. It was Boss Fat who couldn’t stand it and offered a helping hand, allowing Ji Shu to go abroad smoothly.
After Ji Shu returned to China and began his crazy revenge, suppressing the elder brother’s family, Boss Fat remained indifferent, because he felt that the elder brother’s family owed it to Ji Shu.
But now, seeing their expressions, the undisguised hatred and malice, made Boss Fat feel that they not only owed Ji Shu, but should simply die and be buried with Ji Shu’s mother.
But putting all of this aside, the saddest thing was still Ji Shu lying inside. Who would have thought that, apart from himself, there was not even a single person who was genuinely watching over him, with no ulterior motive, only purely hoping that Ji Shu would wake up.
To live like Ji Shu, even if he were to be glorious, what would be the point?
Boss Fat sighed, suddenly unable to help but want a cigarette.
Ji Shu’s rescue took more than ten hours. By the time his condition was completely stable and he was sent to the ICU, the doctors who participated in the rescue were almost fainting from exhaustion.
At this time, the one who was responsible for Ji Shu’s safety finally appeared at the hospital.
“How exactly did the Zhou family become enemies with the Ji family?” This much time was enough for him to find out all the truth.
But the only thing he didn’t understand was, how could the Zhou family, a family of idiots except for Old Master Zhou, have done such a perfect job of poisoning?
Boss Fat lowered his head and didn’t speak.
Ji Shu had deliberately thrown himself into this trap, so of course he wouldn’t have imagined it. But Boss Fat had no way of saying this. After all, Ji Shu’s starting point was so unbelievable that no one could accept it.
He did it for Rong Ziyan, a man he had only met twice before. And a straight man who was not like him, and who might never be able to reciprocate Ji Shu’s feelings. This kind of thing, if he said it, no one would believe him.
But it was precisely because of this, that Ji Shu could let go and design his scheme, and logically let the Zhou family fall into a death trap.
According to the doctor, it would take at least a week for Ji Shu to regain consciousness. So, after confirming that Ji Shu was temporarily safe, that person took his people to investigate the Zhou family.
Little did they know, there was more than just him who was trying to send the Zhou family to hell.
At the class monitor’s house, the class monitor and his parents were sitting in the living room, their faces extremely ugly.
They had just found out that Rong Ziyan had had an accident, and for this reason, their original intention of seeking justice for their relatives had become hesitant.
“Dad, what exactly are you thinking? The Zhou family is in trouble now, and it’s said that some people above are also involved. No matter what happens this time, Zhou Lao San definitely won’t be able to escape.”
“Old Man Zhou is definitely busy trying to smooth things over and get himself and his other two sons out of trouble, sacrificing the pawns to save the king. If we don’t take this opportunity to drag them all down, do you think we will have a chance to survive after Old Man Zhou recovers?”
“But don’t forget, your classmate, who was so well protected, almost had an accident this time.”
“And the young master of the Ji family. He’s not an ordinary person. Your uncle is in his current state, he can’t say anything, I’m not afraid, but what if something happens to us, what will happen to him for the rest of his life?”
The class monitor’s suppressed anger was instantly extinguished by half, but after a long silence, he finally asked his father with red eyes, “But Dad, if my uncle were conscious, do you think he would want to live in a daze, or would he want to die knowing the truth?”
