I don't know when she stood there, but this happened to be the end of the corridor, less than 10 meters away from where Gu Yanshen was standing, at the corner.
So the distance was too close, and she must have heard clearly what the two of them were saying.
Gu Yanshen turned around and saw her like this - in shock, with a bit of unbelievable confusion, she stood there blankly, her expression was too stiff, as if she was trying her best to
It's hiding something, yet trying to hide it.
He thought she was asleep and that's why she came out, but why did she come out too?
…………
There were some things that he didn't want to hide from her, but he always felt that it was not the best time to tell her now. Regarding her mother, Tao Wantian, he basically had some information, but such a shocking secret had no clue.
He raised his guard in front of her, and he was really worried that she wouldn't be able to bear it.
That's why he thought of starting with Qiao Jinglian first, because the facts he knew were only less than one tenth.
It can be said that what happened in the past five years has been wiped clean by Qiao Shiyun. The only thing he can confirm from the list Situ Lin gave him now is that Tao Wantian is indeed still alive.
In fact, the name on the list is not Tao Wantian. Qiao Shiyun would not be so cautious when doing things. He has obviously had his real name erased, but no matter how cautious a person is, there are times when he is a little secretive.
The name can be changed, the location can be changed, only the time spent in jail can't be changed.
Five years ago, not many people were sent to the living tomb together. Gu Yanshen had always had such suspicions, so he simply asked someone to find the photo of Zijin's mother and sent it directly to Zhang Jinghua. Unexpectedly,
After she recognized him, she actually said he looked familiar.
She couldn't be sure, because she said that everyone inside was actually looking very different, but the gentle woman in the photo did feel very familiar to her.
…………
As long as it's "familiar", that's enough.
Zhang Jinghua felt that Tao Wantian's appearance was familiar, so she must have seen Tao Wantian in the Tomb of the Living Man, but as she said, the people who entered were all unrecognizable, so it was normal for her not to recognize him.
But after she was finally released from prison, there was also a reason for her to go to the western suburbs of city C. These two points together were enough to show that there was an 80% chance that the person Zhang Jinghua met in prison was...
Tao Wantian!
However, he could only confirm these things so far.
People have been brought into the living tomb in City B for too long. Not to mention that Gu Yanshen has never been involved in politics. Even someone like Situ Lin would not dare to take someone out of it casually. What's more, he was still being
Someone deliberately got it in. He needs a lot of evidence. If Qiao Shiyun is really the person who planned it, he believes that he will have what he wants most.
The current situation is like a newborn baby, everything is unstable. Gu Yanshen has always been deep and restrained in doing things, strategizing, so he has never thought about telling Zijin so many amazing things before.
fact.
However, God always seems to be against him.
To let Zijin know so suddenly in this way was a surprise to everyone.
Gu Yan frowned deeply and glanced at Qiao Jinglian. The two brothers, who had never looked at each other, their eyes met in the air at this moment, but there was an unexpected understanding.
Qiao Jinglian pursed her lips, turned around and walked into the elevator without saying anything else.
…………
At this time, there was no use for him to stay here. Under such circumstances, Qiao Jinglian had to agree that only if Gu Yanshen had a good talk with her alone could she accept and digest this shocking news.
shock……
In fact, Zijin was not the only one who was shocked?
He was also in disbelief.
Tao Wantian is still alive? A person who has been dead for 5 years is still alive? How is this possible? And Shen Dongming...how is it possible that he is not crazy?
After Qiao Jinglian entered the elevator, she placed her hands on the smooth and bright wall of the elevator. He frowned and looked at himself in the mirror. This is real. Everything he just heard is true - Shen Dongming did not
Crazy, he is not crazy?
No, he remembered that when he went to the hospital for the first time, he rushed there because Zijin was suddenly injured by him. At that time, he was still very annoyed when he saw Zijin. He thought about what he had done in the past five years.
He had never really visited Shen Dongming once. At the beginning, it was really out of disgust, but later on, he no longer had this awareness.
Now...should he go and make sure for himself?
Qiao Jinglian took out her mobile phone and slid her long finger on the screen. In the end, she still didn't dial the number. He went straight downstairs, left the hospital, and got into his car. In the car, he quietly smoked two cigarettes.
He waited until his throat was so bitter that he started the engine and drove away.

※※※※※
In the VIP ward of the hospital, Gu Yanshen was sitting on the sofa. He looked at the woman sitting on the opposite side. Her face had not seen a trace of blood since just now. The calmness that she could barely hold on to made him feel distressed.
Very quickly, he sighed softly, stood up from the sofa, and just reached out to touch her cheek, but was caught by the woman in mid-air.
Gu Yan was stunned and even more worried, "...Zijin, your hands are very cold."
"My heart is even colder."
Zijin slowly raised her head. She was so shocked and surprised that she was now a little numb. She was so numb that her heart was cold. She didn't know how to describe this feeling. How terrible?
Yes, it is indeed terrible.
——I doubt that Zijin’s mother, Tao Wantian, did not die at all 5 years ago.
…………
——And Shen Dongming, I talked with him once, and I found that his thinking is very clear, and he doesn't look like a crazy person who has been crazy for 5 years.
…………
This man's voice was so familiar that it reached the deepest part of her soul. What he said had never made her feel scary, but now it was true...
She couldn't believe it, how could it be possible?
Are you dreaming?
But this real feeling is not like a dream at all. She knows that she cannot deceive herself. Her mother, who has been dead for 5 years, is still alive? Her father, who has been crazy for 5 years, is not crazy?
This news was even more ferocious than when the elders whom I had respected for five years suddenly turned against me.
She doesn't know why God wants to play this kind of joke on her. It's really not funny at all, is it?
If everything Gu Yanshen just said is true, then who is she? Has she been a fool in the past 5 years? She has lived a self-righteous life for 5 years, worked self-righteously for 5 years, but she has also been taken advantage of by others.
5 years?
…………
No, how could that be?
Does anyone know how panicked she is now? She has completely forgotten even the slightest surprise.
Her soft and cold little hands clasped Gu Yanshen's big palm tightly. Her breathing was very rapid, and her voice was unstable when she spoke, "...Yanshen, tell me, I really didn't dream.
Is it all true? Why...why haven't you told me? When did you know?...No, I think it's impossible. My dad...my dad...how could he even...
I kept it secret? No... tell me, what is going on? Tell me, Yan Shen..."
"Shh, shh, baby, don't be like this, calm down first, you are too emotional."
It was too late for Gu Yanshen to regret it now. He knew that if he let her know, she would probably react like this. For Zijin, who was not in good health now, the impact was obviously too great, and he was worried that she would
He couldn't bear it, but the matter had come to this, and he could no longer choose to hide it. He could only explain in an evasive manner, "...I haven't known it for a long time. Baby, look into my eyes and believe me, eh? Don't do this.
I'm worried about you acting like this. Just calm down and I'll tell you everything I know, okay?"
"...Okay, I'll calm down, you tell me, you tell me."
Gu Yanshen stretched out his hand and gently brushed her cheek, "Baby, actually I never thought of letting you know these things in this way. Everyone can understand them. These are too shocking for you. I'm afraid that you
I can't bear it, so I haven't revealed too much in front of you, but I didn't mean to hide anything from you. Originally, your business is my business. I just thought that maybe one day, when I put all the things together
Everything is clear. I will choose another time to explain it to you. But now, obviously this seemingly beautiful plan has come to nothing, but I know that my baby is actually very strong, so no matter what you heard
, we can all face it calmly, right?"
"…………"
Zijin said nothing, but Gu Yanshen clearly noticed that she was holding the tiger's mouth of her palm a little out of control.
"...Zijin?"
"You don't need to lay so much groundwork with me. I've heard the most important thing. What you said is nothing more than that. I want you to tell me everything you know and don't hide a word from me!"
The woman looked at him with burning eyes. Gu Yan couldn't avoid it. He could only soften his tone and said, "... Zijin, I think I didn't miscalculate. Your mother, Tao Wantian, she really didn't.
Death, I haven’t been able to understand everything about what happened 5 years ago, but she is indeed not dead. As for your father, I think he is not crazy either, but I don’t know why he pretends to be crazy. He is 5 when he pretends to be crazy.
Years, but roughly, I can estimate that it should be related to the Qiao family."
