Chapter 500
Zhang Jinghai and I
Chapter 500: Back to Jinghai with Me
Su Miaoyi called Lu Zhishen and told him everything she had seen through Huang Qi's second uncle.
Although the scene is not continuous, the terrain and directions are all drawn.
Su Miaoyi received the picture sent by Lu Zhishen and quickly showed it to Zhuang Yanzheng.
Duan Wenrui and the other two briefly discussed their plan to enter the mountains.
Both Yashan Village and Yashanhou Village were being secretly monitored, and all actions were carried out discreetly to avoid attracting attention.
They need to know where they came from in the mountains, to find the entrance.
The factory is far from the village; they must have some way to get there quickly.
"The location for discharging wastewater and waste materials has been identified. The drug manufacturing plant isn't far away. We can land our helicopters nearby, attack the mountain, and surround them," Duan Wenrui said.
“I don’t know how many people are in the mountains, or how many of them are in these two villages. They must have weapons,” Su Miaoyi said. “They’ve been here for a long time and know the mountains very well. I’m worried that if I go into the mountains, I’ll be surrounded and fall into their trap.”
“Indeed, we need to think about it again,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “The situation in the mountains is unclear. Even if we have more people, we will be at a disadvantage. It’s a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.”
Su Miaoyi looked at the pictures on her phone.
“Xie Zhiyan hasn’t arrived yet. If we make too much noise, he might not come.” Zhuang Yanzheng said, then thought for a moment and added, “Also, will he really come? We’ve discovered this place, so we’ll definitely send people over. If he comes at this time, wouldn’t he be walking into a trap? Unless he can arrive before our people and then attack us directly.”
Su Miaoyi glanced at him but didn't say anything.
She suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yanzheng had told her: the more you know someone, the easier it is to fall into their trap.
Based on her understanding of Xie Zhiyan, she knew he would come.
When she was in D Continent, she didn't know about the factory here. According to the time when Chisakura came to Chang City, this place should have been selected long ago, but it wasn't used from the beginning.
Because it's so remote, transportation is a problem.
It's very likely that this factory in Changshi only started using it after she destroyed the other factories.
If she wasn't mistaken, this place was very important to Xie Zhiyan.
If this place is discovered, it has to be abandoned.
But Xie Zhiyan would never give up easily.
He will definitely do something to make them pay an even greater price.
The people Xie Zhiyan wants to kill are also here. He will come, he will watch his drug manufacturing plant disappear, and he will watch them pay the price.
He's a madman; he only feels satisfied when he sees it with his own eyes.
Su Miaoyi clenched her hands, but this was all based on her understanding of Xie Zhiyan, the Xie Zhiyan she knew.
What if Xie Zhiyan insists on doing the opposite?
She closed her eyes and quickly went through the events in her mind.
The day before yesterday afternoon, Xie Zhiyan had Jiang Xutong, who was passing on messages, killed in Jinghai.
Before this, Jiang Xutong overheard Xie Zhiyan's phone call.
"Transport the D drugs from Xianju Mountain out of the area."
They didn't ship anything the night before last.
It is very likely that Xie Zhiyan canceled the shipping plan immediately after discovering that his phone had been hacked.
When Huang Qi ordered Jiang Xutong's murder, he should have already spread the word that he saw her and Zhuang Yanzheng in Yashan Village.
After all, Zhuang Yanzheng sensed that someone was watching them when they left.
When Xie Zhiyan ordered Jiang Xutong to be killed, he already knew they were in Changshi.
The purpose of creating the illusion that Xie Zhiyan was in Jinghai was to get her and Zhuang Yanzheng to return to Jinghai.
But why do this? Why make her go back with Zhuang Yanzheng?
Huang Qi saw them leaving Yashan Village and heading towards the city, but Xie Zhiyan created the illusion that he was in Jinghai. Why was he in such a hurry to send them back and make them leave Changshi?
After all, Jiang Xutong only conveyed the word "immortal" before being silenced.
They didn't know the exact location, and starting their search from the character "仙" (immortal) was like finding a needle in a haystack.
If we really investigate bit by bit, it's uncertain how long it will take, especially for a mountain that is gradually losing its name.
In Xie Zhiyan's mind, as long as he didn't take any action or transport anything, he could just wait for them to leave; why bother doing any of this?
Even though they returned to Yashan Village halfway through their journey, it was only after Xie Zhiyan had done all of this.
It feels like Jiang Xutong has passed on a specific address.
Just as Xie Zhiyan knew they were in Yashan Village, they knew the drug manufacturing plant was located there.
Su Miaoyi couldn't understand it.
She shared her doubts with Zhuang Yanzheng and Duan Wenrui.
"Do we still need to wait for him to arrive?" Duan Wenrui asked. "Should we just search him directly?" Zhuang Yanzheng glanced at the time: "Director Meng and the others will be here soon."
It takes a long time to drive here, but a helicopter would be much faster.
I contacted Jinghai at noon, and now more than three hours have passed. They must have arrived in Changshi by now.
Flying from the city here, you don't need to take a detour through the mountains, and it won't take long.
"We'll discuss this in detail once they arrive," Zhuang Yanzheng said, glancing at the map.
Su Miaoyi nodded: "You all keep an eye on things first, I'm going to see Xixian."
"it is good."
Duan Wenrui heard an unfamiliar name, but didn't ask any questions and studied the map with Zhuang Yanzheng.
Su Miaoyi went to the car that Zhuang Yanzheng and the others had driven. As soon as she opened the car door, she saw Xi Xian playing with tossing copper coins in his hand.
She got into the carriage and closed the door, then looked at her and asked, "Where did you get these copper coins?"
Xi Xian didn't speak, but instead took her hand and placed the copper coin in it.
"What are you doing? Is it an antique? How much is it worth?" Su Miaoyi looked at it; it was six copper coins in total.
“No matter how much it’s worth, it’s not much to you,” Xi Xian said. “I’ll toss it and give you a divination.”
Su Miaoyi looked at her: "Where should I throw it?"
"Just leave it on the seat."
Su Miaoyi shook the six copper coins in her hand, then threw them onto her seat.
Six of them are the same.
Xi Xian looked on without saying a word.
Su Miaoyi asked, "Isn't it good?"
“All six are negative.” Xi Xian looked up at her and slowly uttered two words: “Very unlucky.”
Su Miaoyi did not speak.
Xi Xian said, "Come back to Jinghai with me. Now, immediately."
Su Miaoyi looked at her, and after a while said, "Does 'major misfortune' mean I will die, or that I can't kill him?"
Xi Xian did not answer, but repeated, "Come back to Jinghai with me."
Su Miaoyi shook her head: "You know very well why I came back. This is something I have to do. Even if I die, even if I can never come back, there will be thousands upon thousands of people who keep moving forward until they kill him, until the D drugs disappear."
Xi Xian looked at her, not angry or annoyed by her decision, because she knew from the beginning that she would make this choice, and she couldn't change it, but she still came and asked.
It would be good to see each other one last time.
Su Miaoyi touched her chin, smiled and said, "It's good news for me, at least now I know I can see him."
Xi Xian remained silent.
Su Miaoyi said, "What if I really die?"
She thought for a moment and said, "Just be happy. We all have to say goodbye eventually. Didn't you say that a few decades is too short for you? It'll be over in the blink of an eye. Looking at your expression, you can't possibly think I'm going to disappear from this world forever, can you? Is this some kind of aftereffect of being reborn?!"
"You really have a vivid imagination." Xi Xian snorted. "I thought you were going to tell me to take good care of your parents."
“I’m not worried about their lives, I’m not worried about anyone’s lives,” Su Miaoyi said. “But the wounds in my heart can’t be healed by just showing concern. Why don’t you make them forget me? I think you’ll recover by then and be able to conjure up copper coins at will.”
“I can bring it back to Jinghai for you right now.”
"That won't be necessary," Su Miaoyi said. "Can you really speed back to Jinghai?"
"Ah."
"Go back now, I have to get busy." Su Miaoyi pulled her over, hugged her, patted her back, and then got out of the car.
Xi Xian watched her retreating figure, paused, picked up the copper coin from the carriage seat, and then disappeared into the carriage.
After Su Miaoyi got out of the car, she walked towards Zhuang Yanzheng and the others. When she got close to their car, she suddenly had a ringing in her ears, and then she heard a man's voice, a very ethereal voice.
She looked in the direction from which the sound was coming from.
Zhuang Yanzheng opened the car door.
Just then, a policeman ran over from a distance and whispered to Duan Wenrui, "Captain Duan, we've found an entrance in the back village of Yashan."
Goodnight everyone, I'll fix the typos tomorrow.
This is chapter 500. I'm the kind of person who likes to round things up, so I originally wanted to write a long chapter and finish at chapter 500, but after thinking about it, I decided against it.
See you tomorrow.
