Chapter 889: Could Note Be Suppressed For A Lifetime
When Su Wan heard Jiang Xuecheng’s slightly hoarse voice, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he had not become that devilish brat with a kid’s IQ!
In the current situation, if Jiang Xuecheng suddenly had any mental problems, it would be a little difficult for Su Wan to bring him back in one piece.
“Xuecheng, this is a fisherman’s fishing boat. I brought you here first. How are you feeling? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Without waiting for Jiang Xuecheng’s reply, Su Wan quickly walked to the man’s side and stretched out her hand to touch Jiang Xuecheng’s forehead.
Phew, fortunately, there was no low fever!
Ever since Jiang Xuecheng had sucked her blood, Su Wan had to test Jiang Xuecheng’s forehead temperature a few times every day!
She was afraid that one day, if Jiang Xuecheng suddenly had a low fever, it meant that the CHK Virus No.3 was about to take effect...
The CHK Virus No.3 was like a ticking time bomb. You did not know when it would detonate, but once it took effect, it was enough to make you shudder in fear.
...
Jiang Xuecheng had just woken up, so it was obvious that he had not regained the a clear-headed consciousness.
He pulled off the hand that Su Wan had placed on his forehead in a daze. There was a hint of confusion on his handsome face.
“I’m fine. I just feel that the wounds on my body are probably healing, so it’s a little itchy.”
“Is that so? Let me take a look!”
As Su Wan spoke, she immediately began to push up Jiang Xuecheng’s clothes. When she had showered Jiang Xuecheng earlier, Su Wan had not paid much attention to such matters because she was in a hurry.
Now that she looked closely, sure enough, the originally hideous and bleeding wounds had already formed faint scabs.
Su Wan simply felt that this was a miracle!
How long had it been?!
It was already not easy to recover to this extent...
Su Wan clicked her tongue in wonder as she reached out her hand to gently stroke Jiang Xuecheng’s firm muscles.
“Seeing that you’ve recovered so well, I don’t have to be on tenterhooks all day.”
Jiang Xuecheng nodded with a faint smile. He put down the clothes that she had lifted up and immediately stood up from the bed.
Su Wan was worried that his leg bones had been injured. He had just recovered his bones yesterday, and then he encountered a mudslide. She was afraid that he had been hit by a rock!
...
Su Wan subconsciously reached out her hand to help him up so that Jiang Xuecheng would not fall.
Sensing Su Wan’s meticulous care, a teasing look appeared on Jiang Xuecheng’s handsome face.
He tactfully placed his hand on Su Wan’s body and smiled at her.
“Wan Wan, are you worried that I’ll become a cripple? You’re overthinking it. Don’t worry, I’m not as fragile as you think.”
Su Wan’s thoughts were exposed by Jiang Xuecheng, and she immediately glared at him.
“Isn’t it good that I care about you?”
In the past, Jiang Xuecheng was the one who took care of her. It was rare for Jiang Xuecheng to have such patient caring, yet he still wanted to ridicule her!
As she spoke, Su Wan angrily pushed away the hand that was holding Jiang Xuecheng, as if she was letting him do whatever he wanted.
Jiang Xuecheng stood up gracefully. His center of gravity was obviously very stable, and there were no signs of him swaying.
When Su Wan saw that Jiang Xuecheng’s body was really fine, she could not help but feel relieved.
Under the dim yellow light, Jiang Xuecheng was standing half a meter away from Su Wan.
Although this man was wearing a coarse cloth that did not fit him very well, and even seemed to be twice his size, when he stood there, he would automatically become a scenery, and even make a person forget all the bad things!
The charm of Jiang Xuecheng was just that peculiar.
...
After the two of them joked with each other for a while, Su Wan began to tell him everything that happened after he fell unconcious.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard that he was already “dead” and that even his body had been retrieved from the sea, he couldn’t help but snicker!
“Executive Officer Lin’s guts are really bigger than I imagined!”
Su Wan was startled when she heard this. She immediately nodded in agreement.
He dared to plot against the Emperor of the God’s Palace and even forged a corpse. Just how much courage did he have?!
When she mentioned the corpse that had appeared out of nowhere, Su Wan first felt terrified. Then, she felt confused.
“Xuecheng, what I don’t understand the most is Executive Officer Lin’s thoughts. If he said that you were dead, then so be it. Why didn’t he just say that it would be difficult to find the corpse after it fell into the sea?”
Seeing that Xuecheng’s lips moved, as if he wanted to interrupt her question, Su Wan hurriedly raised her hand, indicating for Xuecheng to finish listening to her analysis.
“After all, they say that dead man tell no tales. Now that there is a corpse, no matter how the corpse’s face and body rotted, it can provide accurate DNA information for comparison!”
Su Wan paused, and a hint of hesitation flashed in her clear almond eyes.
“Moreover, the high priest isn’t stupid. It’s impossible for her not to have the corpse transported back and properly examine your identity. It can’t be that she would be easily fooled, right?”
Hearing Su Wan’s logical analysis, Jiang Xuecheng nodded in approval.
He had always thought that Su Wan’s IQ wasn’t that great, but now, he could see that she wasn’t stupid to the bone.
At least he could see through two things. The first was that the high priest was not the mastermind behind this incident, and the second was that the matter with the corpse was not that simple.
The smile on the corner of Jiang Xuecheng’s lips was faint. He reached out and scratched the bridge of Su Wan’s nose, and his eyes could not help but contain a hint of indulgence.
“The first problem is very simple. If there is no corpse, then the news of my death cannot be announced to the public. Therefore, Executive Officer Lin and the mastermind behind the scenes should want to bite the fact that I am dead so that they can further develop other goals.”
“As for the second question...”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his lips revealed a trace of a cold smile!
Back then, in order to ensure that he would ascend to the position of the emperor, the high priest had fostered a trusted puppet. That practically angered everyone in the four great families!
After all, the high priest did not have any descendants. If she were to step down, she would be choosing a legitimate successor among the four great families!
Yet, she practically escaped handing her position out by bringing in Jiang Xuecheng!
This made it difficult for people to feel happy!
Everyone was hindered by the high priest’s lightning-fast methods. In addition, Jiang Xuecheng was indeed a pure-blooded person. All of them dared to be angry but none dared to say anything. In the end, their resentment was temporarily suppressed.
Jiang Xuecheng stroked Su Wan’s hair with an indifferent expression.
“Wan Wan, I can only say that the matter with the God’s Palace is not that simple. Although the high priest still has her prestige, she has stepped down after all. The four great families below are stirring up trouble. Perhaps they are using this to threaten her.”
The matter from back then could be suppressed for a period of time, but not for a lifetime.
Recently, for some unknown reason, the high priest’s body had been injured. The people below who were well-informed had probably become restless.
And taking advantage of the fact that the puppet Jiang Xuecheng was out, they might as well go all out?
This wasn’t impossible...
However...
They still thought too simply of the high priest and Jiang Xuecheng.
In such a short period of time, the four great families also had many spies lying in ambush!
It was not certain who would win!
