Chapter 985: Chapter 985
There’s a saying that goes, where there are people, there will be Jianghu. Whether it’s Liang Zhichen before his amnesia or this version of him after, he harbors an innate ambition and lofty aspirations.
This type of man, he excels in his profession, and certainly can become very family-oriented; he can settle down and lead a life with a warm hearth shared with his wife and children, but he still requires a career to manifest his life’s worth.
In general, someone like Zhi Chen, by nature, is one who can stir things up.
After losing his memory, he fled from the Golden Triangle to Jiangnan, driven by a vague sense of distaste, he began to strike against certain people. These were all former enemies, or those who once engaged in collusion with the Seventh Princess, or had turned against him when he was in trouble.
But of course, the adversaries would not merely sit idle awaiting their fate, leading to constant friction, with incidents like assassinations and poisonings becoming rampant and ensuing continuously.
Regarding such matters, Lan Gu did not conceal anything.
She knew plenty about these events and disclosed everything to Dong Huiying.
After hearing about it, Dong Huiying couldn’t help but make a fist.
She remained silent for a long while, at this time the coachman had already driven the carriage into the Blue mansion, but the two inside did not rush to disembark.
"Then last night, who was it that attacked Zhi Chen?"
Lan Gu replied, "Although there’s no evidence yet, in my opinion, evidence isn’t needed for this matter. I have a suspect in mind. This person came from the west, originally residing across the sea. I think it is very likely he instigated it."
Dong Huiying slightly squinted her eyes, recalling the Fengya Pavilion, and the foreigner living there. "Is it... Charles?"
Lan Gu was a little surprised, then sighed: "The mistress is perceptive."
Dong Huiying took a long breath, thinking to herself, yesterday Zhi Chen was attacked and suffered such severe injuries, if not necessary, Lan Gu would never leave the mansion. And even if she did leave, there must be an imperative reason.
And what reason could be more important than Zhi Chen?
None other than catching the mastermind behind it!
Thinking along these lines, the clues began to unfold, and she, being no fool, upon connecting the dots, deduced that the one behind it must be Charles without a doubt.
Upon alighting from the carriage, Dong Huiying hurried back to Zhi Chen’s room.
She moved with such haste, her breath was somewhat unsteady.
Upon reaching the door, she pressed her chest, took two deep breaths to calm herself, and then gently pushed the door open.
When she left, the man was lying flat, but upon her return, he lay on his side, with his back to the door.
From the looks of it, Zhi Chen hasn’t awakened? Wonderful!
Like a thief, she quietly approached Zhi Chen. Just as she was about to sit by the bed, the person on the bed suddenly turned.
Her body became stiff, suddenly feeling inexplicably guilty?
The man’s expression was very clear, with no sign of sleepiness. He looked at her quietly, yet the corner of his eyes seemed to have a hint of red. "Didn’t you leave? Why have you come back?"
His... his tone of questioning, why does it seem so much like he’s pouting?
Dong Huiying was somewhat dumbfounded, she dryly asked, "Aren’t you supposed to be asleep?"
The man looked at her, expressionless, yet did not utter a word.
