Chapter 563 - Yan Sun’s revival from the dead

Translator: Thyaeria

Even if Su Tao has returned to Qiongjin, his master, Jiang Qinghan was still in Beijing participating in the training for Interpol. However, she was disappointed when she was ultimately removed from the name list despite her efforts. At the same time, she felt depressed; she also felt baffled.

But she’s someone with experience, and she naturally knew that strength could not represent everything. Society was complicated, so there must be someone controlling it from the background. There must be some unknown reason for her failure.

Ever since she boarded the cab, the driver hasn’t stopped talking. But it’s also reasonable. Although Beijing had a high ratio of beauties here, it’s still rare to see a beauty of Jiang Qinghan’s standard.

After Jiang Qinghan paid the fares, the cab driver waited for a long time before he drove off, sighing in pity. If his wife was so pretty, he would definitely not work and accompany his wife at home instead.

Coming to the second floor of the café, Jiang Qinghan saw Gu Yang waving her hand in her direction from afar. When Jiang Qinghan got closer, she noticed that Gu Yang had many bags by her side, and they were all international branded goods.

“Qinghan, you’re returning to Huainan Province tomorrow, right? These are some gifts for you!” Gu Yang passionately pushed the gifts to Jiang Qinghan.

“No need, there’s too much, and they’re too expensive. I can’t accept them!” Jiang Qinghan immediately refused.

Putting on a stern expression, Gu Yang stood her ground, “No way, you have to accept them. These contain the goodwill of both Hao Nan and me. They’re not only gifts for you, but there are also gifts for Yan Sha and your father-in-law.”

However, Jiang Qinghan still replied with difficulty in her tone, “You and Hao Nan have always been helping me, and I feel apologetic for troubling the both of you so much.”

Grabbing onto Jiang Qinghan’s hands, Gu Yang smiled. “We’re good friends and sisters, so don’t haggle over minor matters with me here! Putting myself in your shoes, you will definitely receive me well if I visit Hanzhou City, right?”

In the end, Jiang Qinghan could only helplessly submit and nodded her head. “Then, I’ll accept them.”

Gu Yang’s temperament might seem mild, but she’s very strong-minded deep in her bones, and rejecting her gifts might stir trouble for Jiang Qinghan.

“But you don’t seem happy about it!” Gu Yang purposely lifted her lips and pretended to be unhappy.

“Alright!” Jiang Qinghan squeezed out a smile and continued, “I’m genuinely happy from the bottom of my heart, so thank you for your gifts.”

Gu Yang was satisfied with Jiang Qinghan’s reply and snapped her fingers at the waiter to take their order. The reason why she did not order the food beforehand was out of concern that Jiang Qinghan wouldn’t accept her gifts, and if the two of them parted on bad terms, wouldn’t the coffee and desserts be wasted?

Roughly half an hour later, the waiter served two cups of coffee and some desserts. Stirring her cup of coffee with a spoon, Gu Yang said in distress, “For some reason, recently, Hao Nan has been finding an excuse to say that he’s busy even despite our approaching marriage date. It has been a few days since I last saw him, and even if I called him, our calls would only last a few minutes. Although he also did this in the past, it wasn’t the same this time. I can feel that there’s something wrong. Do you think that he has a mistress outside?”

“Stop imagining stuff!” Jiang Qinghan rolled her eyes and sighed, “Hao Nan has truly been busy recently.”

“I heard from him that you did not manage to get through the Interpol selection, right? Actually, I personally think that it’s a piece of good news. Although Yan Sha is a sensible child, she’s still in her youth, so it wouldn’t be good for you to be separated from her for a long period. Your career might be important, but you must always place your family above it.” Gu Yang changed the topic.

Hearing her words, Jiang Qinghan smiled. “About that, I intended to bring Yan Sha and my father-in-law over if I successfully become an Interpol officer. But now, I’m back to square one again, and I can only continue to be an ordinary criminal police officer in Hanzhou City now.”

“What a pity! If you really come to Beijing, I believe Hao Nan will surely be ecstatic!” Gu Yang sighed.

As Jiang Qinghan’s expression froze, she looked at Gu Yang in perplexion. “What makes you say that?”

A self-mocking smile rose on Gu Yang’s lips as she shrugged her shoulders. “Qinghan, with your intelligence, I believe you should know why I would take the initiative to befriend you. It’s because you have always been occupying Hao Nan’s heart.”

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Immediately waving her hands, Jiang Qinghan locked her brows together. “Please don’t misunderstand. Hao Nan and Yan Sun were buddies, and the reason why Hao Nan took such great care of me is because he took pity on a single mother like myself. Both of you have been together for so many years, so you must have trust in him.”

“It’s precisely because we’ve been together for so many years, that’s why I’m certain that you’ve always been occupying a position in his heart. There’s even a time when he returned home drunk and called your name when he laid down on the bed.”

Although Gu Yang wore a smile on her face, tears streamed down her face as she asked, “Do you know how I felt at that time?”

“You must hate me!” Jiang Qinghan sighed.

“No, I don’t hate you. On the contrary, I envy you.” Gu Yang took a deep breath and continued, “I know that you have been maintaining your distance with Hao Nan. Or else, I wouldn’t have treated you as a sister.”

At this moment, Jiang Qinghan could only look at the coffee and wryly smiled. “Thank you for your understanding.”

Lifting her hair, Gu Yang stared at Jiang Qinghan for a long time before she deeply sighed, “Precisely because I’ve treated you as a sister, there’s something that I cannot hide from you.”

“What is it?” Jiang Qinghan swiftly reacted and grew nervous.

Gu Yang seemed to have fallen into a dilemma for a few minutes before she said, “Actually, Yan Sun is still alive!”

“What?” Jiang Qinghan looked at Gu Yang in disbelief before she affirmed in shock, “Is that true? Is what you said true?”

Gravely nodding her head, Gu Yang replied, “Hao Nan has actually discovered Yan Sun’s tracks long ago, but he hid it on purpose.”

“Why did he do that?” Jiang Qinghan raged.

Letting out a sigh, Gu Yang answered, “That’s simple, because not only are they buddies and comrades, but they’re also competitors and love rivals. So if Yan Sun disappears, Hao Nan will be able to smoothly obtain everything from Yan Sun.”

Deep disbelief flickered in Jiang Qinghan’s eyes as she shook her head. “He’s not such a person!”

“That’s right. You can only say that he has concealed himself well. Regardless of his family, colleagues, or strangers, they will only find that he’s a polite gentleman. But under that layer of hypocrisy, he’s also a sinful person.” Gu Yang sighed.

Balling her hands into fists, Jiang Qinghan tried her best to calm down and replied, “I need evidence! I need to know where Yan Sun is right now!”

Looking at Jiang Qinghan with a complicated gaze, who seemed to be in pain with struggles, Gu Yang took out a document from her bag. “This is something I found when I was cleaning up the house and secretly made a copy. You will find everything you want in here.”

As Jiang Qinghan trembled, she spoke in a hoarse voice, “Thank you!”

“I believe that you need to be alone right now, so I will take my leave first.” Gu Yang stood up and paid the bills by the cashier.

When Jiang Qinghan opened up the document, there’s a photo clipped to the top right corner. It was a photo of her husband, Yan Sun! Compared to many years ago, Yan Sun has clearly gone through numerous trials with more wrinkles on his face and stubble covering the corner of his mouth. The only thing that hasn’t changed was his eyes that were as sharp as the eyes of a hawk.

Thousands of questions asking why rose up within Jiang Qinghan’s heart.

Since you’re not dead, why did you not find your way back?

Not only do you have a wife and daughter here, but your elderly father is also here!

Can it be that he has really lost his memories like in dramas?

Or perhaps a powerful enemy is waiting for him in the country, which was why he could only pretend to be dead and does not dare to show himself?

But even if you have all sorts of reasons, they’re not reasons for you to abandon your home for so many years without any news!

Coming out of the café, Gu Yang boarded a black vehicle, where the chauffeur swiftly got out and opened the door for her. After she entered the backseat, a smug expression rose on her lips when the car drove out of the parking lot before she took out her phone and gave a call to her fiancé, Hao Nan.

“What is it?” Hao Nan questioned with an unhappy tone.

“Hubby, what time are you coming home today? I’ll prepare soup for you.” Gu Yang asked in a pampered tone.

“I’ve already told you that I’m busy, and I don’t have time to return home!” Hao Nan replied in annoyance.

As Gu Yang furrowed her brows, she took a deep breath and replied, “It seems that you’re still angry at me for ruining Jiang Qinghan’s entry into Interpol! You have to forgive me since I can’t possibly allow my love rival to appear before my eyes.”

“I won’t bicker with you about it since it has already passed!” Hao Nan coldly replied and continued, “If there’s nothing else, then bye!”

Finally, Gu Yang was irritated by how Hao Nan ignored her and emotionally said, “Since you’re going to treat my existence with such indifference, then I will have to launch a counterattack. Just a moment ago, I gave Yan Sun’s information to Jiang Qinghan, and her reaction was just like how I’ve imagined, she was extremely depressed and frustrated!”

“You’re a madman! How can you let Jiang Qinghan know about this?” Hao Nan raged as he continued, “If this matter blew up, do you know what the consequences will be? This is something that implicates a lot of people!”

Wearing a smile in disdain, Gu Yang responded, “Jiang Qinghan is just a woman. What’s wrong? You’re worried that she might be killed for investigating this matter? That’s right. I want Jiang Qinghan to die! You can only belong to me!”

“Even if she dies, I will only love her. Furthermore, I will definitely not let her die!” Hao Nan firmly declared.

“Don’t forget that you’re also involved in Yan Sun’s matter. You don’t think that Jiang Qinghan might still hold a favourable opinion about you after she learns about this, right?” Gu Yang burst into a peal of insane laughter.

“Then, you can go and die!” Hao Nan smashed his phone on the floor in rage.

Hearing the busy tone, Gu Yang wiped her tears off the corner of her eyes. She understood Hao Nan’s character well. No matter how she tortured him, he would never leave her. After all, he had long been bound to the Gu Family, and even if he had no feelings for her, he would still choose her out of benefits.
