Chen Jingsheng stared at Shen Yu'an with bloodshot eyes, his eyes filled with pain and hatred.
"My elder brother was just too stupid and too kind, which is why he was killed by Jiang Yan and her old and useless father!"
"If Jiang Yuezhong hadn't always been obstructing things, and if Jiang Yan had been a bit braver, my elder brother wouldn't have died!"
Chen Jingsheng was extremely emotional.
Shen Yu'an stood aside, carefully observing the surrounding environment. Without a trace, he slipped his hand into his coat pocket and turned on the voice recorder.
Then, with an unchanged expression, he looked at Chen Jingsheng. "Just because your elder brother died, you want to vent your anger on innocent people? And that person is just a child who knows nothing. Don't you think you're pathetic? If your elder brother were still alive and knew that you've done so many heinous things to his daughter, do you think he'd still want you as his younger brother?"
Shen Yu'an deliberately provoked him.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jingsheng just stared at him intently. After a long while, he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Knows nothing? So what? The blood of the Jiang family flows in her veins, so she deserves to die! You should kneel down and thank me for letting her live until now."
Shen Yu'an stared at him and said coldly, "What does your elder brother's death have to do with the Jiang family?"
Hearing this, Chen Jingsheng took a deep breath. Without caring about Shen Yu'an's current expression, he spread his hands and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you won't be able to get out of this gate today. It doesn't matter if I tell you."
"Jiang Yuezhong is the murderer who killed my elder brother!"
"If it weren't for his obstruction back then, my elder brother wouldn't have participated in that lousy photography competition for the five - million - yuan prize and the title of the first place. He wouldn't have climbed the snow - capped mountain, and he definitely wouldn't have encountered the avalanche!"
Speaking of this, Chen Jingsheng suddenly stepped forward and leaned in front of Shen Yu'an like a ghost. The distance between them was only a few centimeters. Chen Jingsheng's face was almost touching Shen Yu'an's.
He stared intently at Shen Yu'an.
"Do you know? His body still hasn't been found until now."
"But what about the Jiang family? No one cares whether he's dead or alive. Even Jiang Yan doesn't care at all."
"Tell me... what good could such people give birth to?"
"Only I can raise my elder brother's child well."
"Look, isn't she living well now? Just like my elder brother, strong and brave. Even that black factory didn't make her lose hope. Don't you think she's perfect like this now?"
"Oh, right. There's one more thing I forgot to tell you."
Chen Jingsheng suddenly cackled at him, then said slowly, "It won't be long before elder brother can come back to me again."
Shen Yu'an tightly held the voice recorder in his pocket. There was a hint of disgust in his eyes as he looked at Chen Jingsheng.
The man in front of him was a complete lunatic. He wanted to turn Qingmian into another Chen Jingming.
Shen Yu'an didn't expect that Chen Jingsheng's control over Qingmian was far more than just control. What he wanted was for Qingmian to become a new carrier of Chen Jingming and come back to him.
The moment he reached this conclusion, Shen Yu'an wished he could shoot the man in front of him right away. He tightened his hand on the voice recorder again. Facing Chen Jingsheng's sinister smile, he said coldly, "You're really disgusting."
Chen Jingsheng shrugged his head indifferently. "Cherish your last moments. I didn't expect you to really have some feelings for her. This is a bit beyond my expectation."
After saying that, he waved his hand at the people behind him.
"Take him away."
After everyone left, the room returned to tranquility again. Chen Jingsheng walked up to the memorial altar of Chen Jingming, lit three incense sticks, and bowed three times devoutly.
"Brother, wait for me a little longer. We'll be reunited soon."
Chen Jingsheng looked at the face in the photo in front of him that was exactly the same as his own. A strange emotion welled up in his eyes.
After Chen Jingming's accidental death that year, he went to the Jiang family, intending to die together with the Jiang family. But he accidentally found out that Jiang Yan had given birth to Chen Jingming's child.
Jiang Yan was very surprised when she saw him and asked him why he suddenly came to the house.
It was only then that he knew that Chen Jingming didn't even have the qualification to step into the Jiang family.
Chen Jingming didn't tell Jiang Yan that he had a twin brother. So, naturally, Jiang Yan mistook him for Chen Jingming.
He had resented and hated this. He couldn't understand why Chen Jingming had to hide this. But at the same time, he was also grateful. He was grateful that he could stay by Jiang Yan's side in the identity of Chen Jingming. As a result, when Jiang Yan finally found out the truth, her condition deteriorated sharply and she committed suicide.
And Jiang Zhirou became his only hope.
Over the years, he had studied hypnosis hard. He not only wanted to make Jiang Zhirou's personality the same as Chen Jingming's but also wanted to completely turn her into Chen Jingming.
For this purpose, he didn't hesitate to conduct experiments again and again. In order to prevent Jiang Zhirou from having a mental breakdown due to memory confusion in the middle, he even managed to kidnap the only heir of the Chi family. Taking this opportunity, he found the Chi family and hypnotized Chi Yu to make him Jiang Zhirou's spiritual pillar.
Just as he had planned, Chi Yu did become the person Jiang Zhirou wanted to rely on.
But it wasn't needed anymore.
Jiang Zhirou had completely experienced all the feelings Chen Jingming had before his death. From now on, she didn't need anyone else. She would soon come back to him.
...
On the day Jiang Zhirou and the others arrived in Country B, they checked into the sanitarium.
Si Moshen's operation was very successful. Jiang Zhirou accompanied him every day, wracking her brains to come up with all kinds of topics just to help Si Moshen recover as soon as possible.
But she wasn't good at finding topics.
"Si Laosan, what do you think of the tree outside the window?"
This was not the first time she had asked Si Moshen such a question.
Si Moshen didn't show the slightest bit of impatience. He looked out of the window along her line of sight and answered seriously, "It's a bit taller than the one yesterday, but it doesn't smell as good as yesterday's."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhirou smiled and turned to look at the man on the hospital bed. "Si Laosan, have you slept too much? Your mind is all muddled. It's winter now, and the flowers have withered long ago. Where does the flower fragrance come from?"
Si Moshen's lips curled up into a faint arc.
"I didn't say it was the flower fragrance."
As soon as the words were out, Jiang Zhirou was stunned for two seconds before she realized what he meant. She turned her eyes away uncomfortably.
"Zhizhi, you're not happy."
Si Moshen's voice sounded beside her.
Jiang Zhirou instinctively wanted to refute, but the words on the tip of her tongue seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't say them.
Si Moshen was right.
She wasn't happy, but she didn't know why.
Si Moshen's operation was very successful. The doctor said he could still live a long time and they could spend many more Chinese New Year's Eves together.
She had no reason to be unhappy.
