Chapter 276: Picking the Flower from Gaoling 23
Chapter 276: Picking the Flower from Gaoling 23
Tan Jingyu is missing.
Jiang Xinlian raised her eyebrows, a little uncertain, and asked back: "You mean, when I asked you to stay with him and keep an eye on him, he suddenly disappeared?"
Her bright and pretty appearance is not aggressive, which often makes people take her lightly, but the subordinates who have been with her for many years know that she is not a good person.
She asked a few questions in a flat tone. The subordinate swallowed his saliva and replied with a stiff upper lip:
"I'm sorry, Master. We were negligent."
Jiang Xinlian didn't say anything.
He wanted to say a few more words to show that he admitted his mistake, but his companion quietly pulled his sleeve and winked at him.
Are you stupid? Miss never likes to listen to such lies to shirk responsibility. Now you should explain the whole story clearly!
After being reminded, the man immediately organized his thoughts and recounted the events of the past few days in detail.
"In the first few days when we went to Mr. Tan's side, he had been in a coma, breathing weakly, and we couldn't wake him up no matter how hard we called him."
His face grew paler and uglier the more he slept. They were really afraid that he would die in his sleep.
So I quickly found a doctor, but the results of the examination were very confusing:
There is nothing wrong with Tan Jingyu's health.
This is even more strange. His face looks as pale as a ghost, and his brows are furrowed even in his sleep. It seems that he is enduring pain even in his sleep. How can he not have any problems when he looks like this?
They felt something was wrong and were about to tell Jiang Xinlian about the situation when Tan Jingyu woke up.
"Mr. Tan said he wanted to go out for some fresh air, so we followed him closely as you instructed. But we didn't know that not long after he left..."
Just after walking a hundred meters, a flower pot fell from the sky and hit him straight down. Tan Jingyu looked exhausted, but he reacted quickly and dodged sideways. The flower pot brushed his shoulder and hit the ground, breaking into pieces.
If this one incident could be considered an accident, strange things started to happen one after another.
As they passed by, the huge billboard that was originally standing steadily was blown by a gust of wind and began to shake, then it came down towards them with a "bang".
A car that was parked on the side of the road suddenly exploded without any warning, and the heat wave instantly rushed towards several people. Everything happened in an instant. Before they could react, Tan Jingyu pulled them away and they were not affected by the explosion.
After several incidents, several people were still frightened and began to become suspicious.
"One thing after another, it's like the real-life version of Death Comes. Patriarch, there must be something wrong here!"
The subordinates felt the same way.
"It does sound a bit weird."
Jiang Xinlian nodded and asked, "Then when did Tan Jingyu disappear?"
"Just after the vehicle exploded, we decided to return to the villa, but not long after, when we turned a corner, Mr. Tan disappeared."
This means that Tan Jingyu may have disappeared on his own initiative.
She remembered what he had said when she went to see him a few days ago:
"Don't come to me again, you'll get in trouble."
Listening to it now, it seems like a friendly reminder that was anticipated long ago.
But this whole thing is so weird.
Not to mention that she had discovered before that Tan Jingyu had the ability to soothe her pain. Secondly, her health was already in poor condition due to the various abuses she suffered when she was young, and when she grew up she was framed by Jiang Wei, so there was completely no hope for her.
She has seen many doctors over the years, but they all shook their heads with regret. The only way to relieve the pain was to use sedatives.
But Tan Jingyu seemed to have cured her without doing anything. She had known for a long time that there was something wrong with him.
The series of strange events that happened before his disappearance once again proved her guess.
Jiang Xinlian thought for a moment, made up her mind, stood up and took the coat from the hanger:
"Go find him. Look carefully. He should not have left the city yet."
She put on her coat and planned to go there herself.
Just at this moment, Jiang Chuyu knocked on the door. When he entered, he saw Jiang Xinlian dressed neatly. He smiled gently and said, "Did you know this in advance?"
Jiang Xinlian blinked: "What's the matter?"
"Hmm? It's the marriage between Jiang Wanyan and the He family. It was originally scheduled to be discussed the day after tomorrow, but the He family had an urgent matter, so the meeting was moved to today."
Jiang Xinlian:......
The Jiang family is weak now. Although she does not seek to increase the strength of the family through marriage, since Jiang Wanyan is willing to marry and the He family is willing to marry her, why not do it?
So she really couldn't stand him up at this meeting at the He family.
Jiang Xinlian had a blank expression on her face: "I understand."
*
Dark underground garage.
The simple and dilapidated community is located on the outskirts of the city. With the development over the years, most of the residents have moved away, and there are only a few cars in the dark and damp underground garage.
"Hoo-hoo, um."
Tan Jingyu closed his eyes and leaned against the wall with his back. His breathing rose and fell violently, affecting the bloody wound on his shoulder, and his breathing became disordered for a moment.
Although the name has been changed, the person has not changed. This kind of behavior of exploiting loopholes can only delay time and will eventually be discovered.
The series of accidents along the way indicated that he didn't have much time left.
The wound was still oozing blood, which flowed along the curve of the arm muscles and dripped onto the ground, forming a small blood flower.
The usually handsome and calm man had wounds of varying sizes on his cheeks, back, and arms, looking extremely miserable.
Those bright golden eyes were covered with a layer of gray mist and were open absentmindedly.
"001," his voice was hoarse and low, "untie me immediately after this world ends."
As long as the unbinding is fast enough, the host's failure will not affect the system. This is the consistent practice of the 003 male protagonist system.
This time it was his decision that led to the failure of the mission, and he would not drag 001 to accept the punishment with him.
[Master, you may have forgotten what my initial ranking was]
068, an inconspicuous cannon fodder male supporting system at the end.
In each world, the protagonist has the strongest aura, so it is easier to complete tasks and gain points in a protagonist-type system. If a supporting character wants to surpass the protagonist, he has to step on the protagonist to get to the top.
But the protagonist has natural advantages. It is difficult to play a supporting role, and it is even more difficult to be a cannon fodder.
[From 068 to 001, these are all the master's credit. Now I am just returning them all.]
Due to the small space, 001 shrank into a mini tiger, licking his paws indifferently: [I don’t care about the ranking]
Tan Jingyu curled his lips slightly, and said in a weak voice: "Then I have something to entrust to you."
"wait for me……"
……
His lips opened and closed as he explained the subsequent arrangements one by one.
001 nodded solemnly and agreed.
[The master’s lover is my mistress. Besides, I like Jiang Xinlian very much.]
"Yeah……"
His voice dropped, his thin lips curved slightly.
In such a deep and vast night sky, he could only see this one star. It was not the North Star, representing the correct direction.
But in the deep sea of love, she points the only direction.
The plot does not allow Jiang Xinlian to survive, but he insists that she live well and live freely and happily.
A way of exchanging one life for another.
