Chapter 865

~9 min read 1,655 words

Early the next morning, Zhu Sheng went to Zaocheng to meet with Tian Shi.

Names: Zhu Sheng, Zaocheng, Tian Shi. Also maybe 'the next morning' is not a name.

After I saw Zhu Sheng off,

Names: Zhu Sheng.

did not immediately leave the Qi He mine,

Names: Qi He Kuang. Also maybe 'Qi He Kuang' is a place.

Because Xiao Feng was alone here, I needed to help her.

Names: Xiao Feng. Also "I" is speaker (unnamed protagonist). Not a named entity.

Together we waited for Ding Li and his group to return victorious.

Names: Ding Li. Also maybe 'they' is not a name.

Not long after Zhu Sheng left,

Names: Zhu Sheng.

I suddenly remembered something,

No names.

namely the incident at the Huaihai dinner table where He Zuming did character divination,

Names: Huaihai, He Zuming

Yang Tao divined the character 'peach'.

Names: Yang Tao

He Zuming said she would soon have peach blossom luck.

Names: He Zuming

Furthermore, what He Zuming finally told me was to prevent this woman Yang Tao from fleeing.

Names: He Zuming, Yang Tao

Because she is a woman with too much scheming, and forgets righteousness for profit.

No names.

She took Li Ming out, obviously indulging in peach blossom luck.

Names: Li Ming

If that money were transferred into Yang Tao's offshore company, when she sees this huge sum, would she flee?

Names: Yang Tao

I broke out in a cold sweat.

No names.

But I hesitated again,

No names.

because it's just character divination, who knows if it's trustworthy or not.

No names.

So I called Xiao Feng over,

Names: Xiao Feng

to discuss it with her.

No names.

After Xiao Feng heard me finish speaking,

Names: Xiao Feng

She said: "Jiangqiang, I think you're overthinking it; whether there's anything between Yang Tao and Li Ming can't be guessed; matters between men and women are hard to clarify."

Names: Jianqiang, Yang Tao, Li Ming

Only by catching the offender in the act can it be done.

No names.

You said something about Mr. He's character divination.

Names: He Zuming

That was originally just a game.

No names.

"Is it really that miraculous?"

No names.

Xiao Feng was a bit doubtful.

Names: Xiao Feng

I then said.

No names.

Xiao Feng, don't be doubtful; do you know what character Shi Yong had He Zuming divine back then?

Names: Xiao Feng, Shi Yong, He Zuming

"What character was divined?" Xiao Feng asked.

Names: Xiao Feng

"The character for tea."

No names.

"What does this tea character mean?"

No names.

A person among plants and trees—Mr. He explained it this way; think about what kind of person is among plants and trees.

Names: He Zuming

At that time Mr. He had already divined the meaning of the character, but he didn't dare tell Shi Yong; instead he told me.

Names: He Zuming, Shi Yong

Shi Yong's health would run into serious trouble. I didn't think much of it, but in the end Shi Yong really did encounter serious trouble. I told Xiao Feng.

Names: Shi Yong, Xiao Feng

"Is it really that miraculous?" Xiao Feng was somewhat doubtful.

Names: Xiao Feng

"Some things are really hard to explain." I said.

No names.

Since it's like that, you should still tell Zhu Sheng about this, so he can guard against Yang Tao.

Names: Zhu Sheng, Yang Tao

"Don't really let that woman take the money and flee." Xiao Feng said.

Names: Xiao Feng

Okay, I'll let Zhu Sheng know later. I don't know whether Zhu Sheng will believe it or not.

Names: Zhu Sheng

I really should have gone along.

No names.

You know, that woman Yang Tao is full of tricks.

Names: Yang Tao

I was worried about Zhu Sheng and Tian Shi and the others. I sighed.

Names: Zhu Sheng, Tian Shi

Alright, Jianqiang, it's as if you think you're smarter than them, but Zhu Sheng and Tian Shi have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice.

Names: Jianqiang, Zhu Sheng, Tian Shi

You don't need to think too much about it.

No names.

You just need to tell Zhu Sheng about what Mr. He just divined. Xiao Feng comforted from the side.

Names: He Zuming, Zhu Sheng, Xiao Feng

What Xiao Feng said is right; my current worry is unnecessary.

Names: Xiao Feng

That's all we can do.

No names.

I immediately pulled out my phone to contact Zhu Sheng, telling him that He Zuming had done a character divination for Yang Tao.

Names: Zhu Sheng, He Zuming, Yang Tao

I never expected that Zhu Sheng completely doesn't believe He Zuming's divination,

Names: Zhu Sheng, He Zuming

He said to me on the phone,

No new names.

Don't believe what the old man He says; he's just trying to be mysterious.

Names: He Zuming

What fleeing?

No names.

And there's the "person face peach blossom" thing; some things are just coincidences.

No names.

Rest assured, regarding Yang Tao, she won't escape my grasp.

Names: Yang Tao

After hearing Zhu Sheng say that, I couldn't really say anything else.

Names: Zhu Sheng

Zhu Sheng has never really believed in He Zuming's fortune-telling; I know that, and he thinks He Zuming is just pretending to be mystical to deceive people for a living.

Names: Zhu Sheng, He Zuming

How should I put it? Some things are believable, but one shouldn't overtrust them.

No names.

Regarding He Zuming's fortune-telling, I think some of what he says is still correct.

Names: He Zuming

Zhu Sheng wouldn't listen, sigh.

Names: Zhu Sheng

I held my phone and acted dazed.

Zhu Sheng is overly confident in some respects; he thinks Yang Tao, a woman, is nothing to fear—he has weathered great storms, so why would he still fear a Yang Tao?

But he doesn't understand Yang Tao; this woman is not ordinary.

She can disguise, act, seduce, and is even more vicious.

I know Yang Tao too well.

I was dazed for a moment, and Xiao Feng poured me water,

"What's wrong, Jianqiang? Why are you spacing out?"

"Zhu Sheng doesn't believe what Doctor He said." I took Xiao Feng's water cup.

"If you don't believe, then don't believe; anyway, you've told Zhu Sheng."

"He just needs to have a way to deal with Yang Tao." Xiao Feng said.

"But I'm still worried. I always feel that Yang Tao taking Li Ming out on business hides some secret." I said.

"If it really won't work, you can come along too." Xiao Feng said.

I shook my head,

"If I go again, that would be distrusting Zhu Sheng."

Zhu Sheng would be very angry.

"After that, we would never speak again."

"Alright, you don't need to worry about anything. Besides Zhu Sheng, there's also Tian Shi."

I had the cafeteria stir-fry your favorite spicy chicken for you today

"your favorite spicy chicken, at noon, won't you have a drink?" Xiao Feng asked, smiling beside me.

"Thank you, my little Xiao Feng, for knowing I love spicy chicken." I laughed.

"I don't care about you—who would? By the way, how is Zhou Wei?" Xiao Feng asked.

"I went to see him a few days ago; he's much better than before. He can eat on his own, no need for liquid food." I said.

"That's great; it looks like Zhou Wei will wake up soon." Xiao Feng said happily.

"This is hard to say, but I'll do my utmost to wake Zhou Wei. Sigh, Zhou Wei is my everything." I let out a long sigh.

"Jianqiang, you're really a good man." Xiao Feng praised me.

"What good man? I'm just doing my duty."

"You know, in these days, men with a bit of money and status change right away,"

"changing wives like changing clothes,"

"they have no genuine feelings for anyone."

"Moreover, their character changes; even those who used to stay away from drinking, gambling, and prostitution,"

"soon learn them."

"Only you haven't changed, being good to everyone. Especially, you never leave Zhou Wei's side."

"I truly envy Zhou Wei."

"I don't know, after Zhou Wei wakes up,"

"whether she can accept such a big change." Xiao Feng said.

"If she can't accept it, she still has to; there's no other way."

"I heard experts in Sijiucheng say that after a vegetative person wakes up, their intellectual level still needs to be gradually improved."

"Some are like five- or six-year-old children; their memory is gone, and we have to help them bit by bit to regain it."

"In short, once Zhou Wei wakes up, I still have a long road ahead." I said.

"Actually, Li Jia is not bad; she's pretty, I heard she's divorced, and she'd be good for you…" Xiao Feng whispered.

I hurriedly waved my hand and said,

"Xiao Feng, I've said it: my heart holds only Zhou Wei; I promised her I would love her for life,"

"so I must love her for life."

"I, Zhao Jianqiang, have already let down one woman; I cannot let down a second."

"Who have you let down?" Xiao Feng asked, confused.

"I've let down Qiao Jie." I said.

"Forget it; what you and Qiao Jie have isn't love." Xiao Feng said.

"Xiao Feng, you shouldn't say that."

"What is love? I and Qiao Jie also have beautiful memories, like when we were at Beishan. I once made a promise to Qiao Jie, but in the end I didn't keep it." I defended.

"You also made a promise to me when you left Qi He; do you still remember?" Xiao Feng looked at me and asked.

"How could I forget? It's been almost thirty years,"

"it was in Qi He, when I was with Xiao Feng,"

"that was my happiest time."

"That love cannot be expressed, nor erased,"

"it is a man's eternal memory."

"Beautiful youth is gone forever."

"But I really have no way to explain to Xiao Feng the reason for my physical condition."
