chapter 51
Three days later, Jiang He, the leader of Shendao, came to the Second Central Hospital.
He is 38 years old this year. Although he is nearly 40 years old, he still has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and is elegant. However, there is a scar on the side of his neck that extends to his collarbone, which shows that he was also a person who struggled through the line of life and death.
At that time, Fu Lanyu was sitting by the bed, peeling a fruit for Qiao Yunzheng leisurely. She heard footsteps and turned around. Seeing that the person was unfamiliar, she stood up vigilantly.
"Who are you looking for?"
Jiang He smiled politely: "I'm looking for Qiao Yunzheng."
"...Boss?"
Qiao Yunzheng was obviously a little surprised when he saw him, and immediately wanted to sit up, but was stopped by Jiang He.
"Don't move, lie down well, I'm fine, I just received a call from Mr. Jing and wanted to come to see you."
The so-called Mr. Jing is naturally Jing He.
Jing He informed Jiang He about Zheng Zhuo's death and the truth that Qiao Yunzheng is still alive.
"To be honest, Yun Zheng, I didn't expect that you and Zheng Zhuo would end up like this."
The topic of Zheng Zhuo inevitably reminded Qiao Yun Zheng of the moment of betrayal. He closed his eyes slightly tiredly.
"I didn't expect it either."
"Then Zheng Zhuo's death..."
Hearing this, Fu Lanyu said coldly: "Zheng Zhuo said that Yun Ge died in the game, and he died in the same way."
Zheng Zhuo lied to all the members of Shendao, including Jiang He, and lied that Qiao Yun Zheng had been burned to death in the game. Then she retaliated and burned Zheng Zhuo and the armchair to ashes.
Karma never fails.
Jiang He is a smart man and understood it immediately. He sighed, with a look of understanding and regret.
"Zheng Zhuo did something wrong, and this is what he deserves. He can't blame others."
From the moment he received Jing He's call, he understood that Zheng Zhuo chose the most despicable path for some ulterior motives.
Of course, he paid a heavy price for it in the end.
"I always thought that Zheng Zhuo and you were both extremely talented players. Sooner or later, you would be able to escape from this game and regain your freedom." Jiang He sighed, "Who knew that Zheng Zhuo's ambition was greater than I thought. After so many years of friendship, he actually wanted to kill you."
"For me, the past memories are worthless." Qiao Yunzheng said in a deep voice, "Anyway, he has been punished. I don't want to mention this person anymore in the future."
Forget when you should forget. Life is short. Time and
energy left to more worthy people and things.
Jiang He subconsciously looked at Fu Lanyu, thinking.
"Yun Zheng, so this is..."
"My love, Fu Lanyu."
Qiao Yunzheng answered gently and solemnly. Fu Lanyu did not express any objection, but just nodded slightly to Jiang He.
Jiang He stared at Fu Lanyu for a long time, his expression was inexplicably a little dazed, as if he had remembered something from a long time ago.
He finally smiled, with a bit of brotherly relief: "Okay, it's great to have someone to accompany me. Looking at the two of you reminds me of the past."
Qiao Yunzheng said: "After the platinum game next month, you will be free."
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too."
"After the game is over and you go to City X, you don't plan to come back?"
Jiang He smiled: "No, maybe... we won't see each other again in the future."
Qiao Yunzheng was stunned: "Why? Even if you go to City X, we won't..."
"Because I'm going to City X to fulfill a promise to someone, I will only stay there for a month." Jiang He stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger for a long time, his eyes red, "Then I will go to realize my wish. I have been waiting for this wish for six years." After
these words came out, not only Qiao Yunzheng, but even Fu Lanyu felt confused, and she couldn't help asking.
"Is it... a wish related to the game?"
Jiang He asked back: "What level is Miss Fu now?"
"Platinum One."
"So you and Yun Zheng are both Platinum." He nodded, "Maybe you haven't heard of it, and I haven't mentioned it to Yun Zheng. After reaching Platinum, the system will open a hidden level."
Fu Lanyu and Qiao Yun Zheng looked at each other, and she asked puzzledly: "What hidden level? Mr. Jiang, can you tell me more?"
"Take a look at your pendant, have there been any changes?"
"You mean the pattern on the pendant?" Qiao Yun Zheng seemed to understand, "Indeed, it appeared after reaching Platinum. Mine is a cross, and hers is a pocket watch."
He and she, or all the players they know, will have special patterns on their pendants when they reach Platinum.
There are currently three types of patterns: cross, pocket watch and tombstone.
But no one knows what the purpose of this pattern is.
Jiang He took out his pendant from his collar, and sure enough, at the bottom of the pendant, there was a silver tombstone pattern looming.
"I also formed an alliance with a strange player when I was going through a platinum game. When I was clearing the game, he mentioned that he wanted to
finish Platinum 4 quickly and unlock the hidden level, so that he could meet his dead brother again."
"I didn't know anything about it at the time, but I thought it was an opportunity, so I kept in touch with him. After a long time, he told me that he finally got the golden contract card and could go find his brother."
"After that, he disappeared from the face of the earth and I never saw him again."
Those who know this secret must have a chance, and even among the platinum players, they are considered a minority.
I don't know if it was because of the serious injury that has not yet healed, or because of what Jiang He said, Qiao Yunzheng suddenly felt dizzy and palpitated for no reason.
He calmed down and asked softly: "So now, do you know the truth about the other party's departure?"
"I know." Jiang He said, "But I can't tell you."
"...Why?"
"This is not a good thing. If possible, I hope you will never try it."
Qiao Yunzheng was silent for a long time, his face dimmed, and finally responded softly: "Okay."
Jiang He said again: "I wanted you to succeed the position of the new leader of Shendao. Now that Zheng Zhuo is dead, this position is even more yours. Yunzheng, you..."
"I also told you that I don't have deep feelings for Shendao. I stay here just because you are here." Qiao Yunzheng shook his head calmly, "Boss, when you leave Shendao, it's the time for me to leave Shendao-Gao Yang is also quite capable, and his personality is steady and down-to-earth. You can trust him."
He didn't have the ambition like Zheng Zhuo, nor did he have the mission and sense of responsibility to protect the organization. He was an ordinary person with the most ordinary wishes. He was content to do his best to protect the people closest to him.
Jiang He could understand, so he didn't force it anymore. He just sighed with regret and smiled slightly.
"Okay, I believe the candidate you recommend will not be wrong."
He leaned down, patted Qiao Yunzheng on the shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"This meeting is our farewell. You still have a long way to go, and the one you love is still by your side. You must cherish him."
Qiao Yunzheng looked at him with a bitter tone: "I remember, boss."
The two held hands tightly for a moment.
Jiang He said hello to Fu Lanyu again, turned around and left calmly without looking back.
Fu Lanyu stood at the door, watching his figure gradually go away until it disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Being in the system, everyone must be prepared to leave at any time. Perhaps this is a good ending, at least
you can still have complete memories.
Even if there is no chance of meeting again, you can still deceive yourself into a perfect ending.
Qiao Yunzheng stayed in the hospital for a month and went home to recuperate for another month.
According to his injuries, it is impossible to fully recover in two months, but the system does not wait for anyone, and the mandatory crossing mission at the end of the month must still be carried out as usual.
Everyone is very worried about this.
"Lanlan, is it really okay for you to accompany Mr. Qiao?" Bai Sheng kept muttering to Fu Lanyu, "The Platinum Bureau is full of devils. You, a girl, have to protect Mr. Qiao..."
"I'm a girl, and I've been through so many years. What can't I handle?"
Bai Xiao persuaded gently, "Lanlan, how about I accompany Mr. Qiao? I won't be forced to travel through time until next month, and this month is just free."
Gu Mochen also expressed his opinion, "It's okay for me to go. Don't worry, I will definitely ensure that Mr. Qiao is safe."
Fu Lanyu raised his eyes with a smile, "Are you two not confident in my ability?"
"No, no, that's not what we mean."
"I know, I'm kidding." She lowered her head again and looked at the contract card in her hand, her tone light, "This is a matter between the two of us. There is no need to involve others. Don't worry. Since I dare to make such a decision, it means I am sure."
Ji Ling frowned, "How sure are you?"
"Fifty or six points."
"...Fifty or six points?"
"Sister Ling, five or six points is not a small amount." Fu Lanyu said, "After all, even if you cross the platinum game under normal conditions, no one dares to say that they are 100% sure."
She took the black pen next to her and signed her name on the contract card skillfully.
Then she stood up and said goodbye to them before leaving, as if she was going shopping.
Ji Ling walked to the balcony and saw Fu Lanyu walking through the garden downstairs through the window. When turning, he habitually lit a cigarette.
She was silent for a while and sighed softly.
"I can understand that from Lanlan's point of view, no matter who accompanies Mr. Qiao, it is not as suitable for her to go alone."
The other party is her lover, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she will accompany him to go through it.
Everyone knows that Fu Lanyu said it easily, but in fact, this time, he is ready to accompany Qiao Yunzheng to death at any time.
Every platinum game may be a road of no return.
...
At the end of March, in the early spring.
Fu Lanyu stayed at Qiao Yunzheng's house for one night, and the next evening, the two of them crossed at the same time. The familiar
darkness in the field of vision gradually dissipated. The two opened their eyes and found themselves in an old and dilapidated town. The layout of this town was full of Western style. At first glance, it was probably another story with a foreign background.
