Lan Tian’s eyes turned cold suddenly. Regardless of whether Chun i did it on purpose or unintentionally, her words had completely ignited Lan Tian’s anger.
Lan Tian slightly narrowed her eyes, hiding the fury within, and when she looked up again, her eyes were icy cold.
"Did you say soone sent you a letter?" A look of astonishnt flashed across Lan Tian’s eyes, as she glanced at Grandma Sun, Zhao Li, and Mo Yuanle, then turned towards Chun i. Gently rubbing her fingertips, her lips curled into a semblance of a smile but not quite, giving Chun i a side glance, "It seems Chun i is quite capable, having friends even in Shanghai. Your friend really cares about you, and even pays attention to your sister-in-law’s family. They even know our ho address and that we bought farmland and orchards."
Without Lan Tian ntioning it, Grandma Sun and the others hadn’t found it strange since it’s normal for relatives to visit each other, and a sister-in-law visiting her sister-in-law is nothing noteworthy.
But after Lan Tian’s comnt, it seed a bit off. They hadn’t discussed moving to Shanghai with anyone from the village, nor had they told Chun i their address, yet here she was.
Chun i ntioned soone wrote her a letter, making Grandma Sun and Zhao Li feel even more puzzled. Who was writing to Chun i? Who in Shanghai knew Chun i well enough to write about their family’s affairs, their new house, and purchasing land and orchards? And why would soone specially write to her about it?
Chun i let out an awkward laugh—what friends? She didn’t have a clue who wrote the letter, but she wouldn’t admit that.
"Yes, weren’t those the letters from you all? Asking to co over and take a look. So, I brought the kids to have a look. Shanghai is such a big city, a rare opportunity for to co out and learn sothing. Thinking of staying in Shanghai for a few more days, to really see the city. Who knows if I’ll have such a chance again." Knowing well that the person who wrote the letter wasn’t well-intentioned, Chun i played dumb.
Many things in this life deviated from her previous life’s track, like her starting school in her quest to beco an immortal, living together with Grandma Sun and her husband Mo Yuanle.
Although she still ended up marrying Mo Junhua, their relationship... well, it’s hard to describe. To say they were close would be false; to say they were strangers wouldn’t be right either, they knew each other since they were kids. Thinking about their relationship gave her a headache; it’s complicated, to say the least.
Just a gentle flap of a butterfly’s wings resulted in Zhou Yuwei not getting involved with Mo Junhua, instead getting tangled up with Chu Yang, deviating from the plot of her previous life.
The chain reaction caused Yanhua and Mo Yuanle to study dicine, Chun i ended up marrying a rchant’s son, and Chunhua also pursued dicine with Mo Yuanle, now working in Shanghai. Mr. Mo returned to the village to recognize his kin, and their family moved out of Mo Village.
Things clearly were reversing, and sohow, unseen hands were ddling with fate, and by so unnoticed accident, things seed to be pushed back to where they started.
Chun i, apart from being flirtatious, had a nature similar to Yanhua, selfish and opportunistic without principles.
In her previous life, seeing Mo Junhua liking Zhou Yuwei, she relentlessly helped Zhou Yuwei against her without any consideration for past affections, cruel and ruthless.
Suddenly coming to Shanghai, things were probably not so simple.
Since she ca all the way here, Chun i wouldn’t likely return without achieving her purpose.
"That’s true, it’s rare for you to visit. Let’s have a good look around. Shanghai has many historic sites and places with beautiful scenery, and I just happen to be on sumr break. I can take you around." Lan Tian followed up on Chun i’s intentions and then abruptly changed the subject, "Did you tell your mother about coming here? Does she know?"
While cheerfully eating waterlon, Chun i stiffened, slowly chewing the waterlon in her mouth, lifting her eyes to look at Lan Tian, and then glanced over at Grandma Sun and others.
Why did Lan Tian ask this? Did she know she ca here secretly without informing her mother? Seeing Grandma Sun, Zhao Li, and others eagerly waiting for her response, Chun i inexplicably felt guilty.
Lan Tian saw that Chun i’s eyes were darting around, unwilling to et hers. She already guessed that Chun i must have co without telling Wang Guiyu, perhaps even Chunhua didn’t know about her visit, and certainly Mo Junhua was unaware. That day, she took the ti to visit the military base to inform Mo Junhua about her sister showing up.
"Good timing, your Third Brother has been free lately. In a few days, I’ll visit the base and tell him you’re in Shanghai, asking him to co over and catch up with you."
Lan Tian narrowed her eyes, pondered for a mont, and had soone in mind.
Yanhua. Who else could it be?
It wasn’t like their family just started building new houses, buying fields, and orchards today; it had been many years, and the village had kept it tightly under wraps. Nobody knew, Chunhua had known for a long ti, but never ntioned it, and their family life prospered. Everything was fine before Yanhua ca, and soon after her arrival, Chun i followed.
Other than her causing trouble, Lan Tian couldn’t think of anyone else.
Why would she write to Chun i? What kind of conspiracy could be behind it? Intriguing indeed!
...
As soon as Lan Tian left, Chunhua rigorously implented Lan Tian’s decree. Every other day, she applied the ointnt left by Lan Tian all over Mo Junhua’s body. Fearing it would raise suspicions in the hospital and cause unnecessary trouble to Lan Tian, Mo Junhua forcefully postponed getting out of bed for a month despite being able to do so in a week. He would only roam within the hospital room, with Chunhua providing cover.
Upon learning Mo Junhua had awakened, Su Qingjiang and Xiao Shan ca to the Military District Hospital imdiately.
"Commander, you’re finally awake." Su Qing, usually appearing aloof, was actually quite offbeat. Seeing Mo Junhua awake was like finding a pillar of strength, Xiao Shan also appeared much more spirited.
With guidance from Lan Tian, the two had discovered even more suspicious issues these days, slowly unraveling them layer by layer, and uncovered part of the truth, which they shared with Mo Junhua. However, there was still no progression on the matter of the traitor. Regarding the commander covertly staying in the military hospital for treatnt, the headquarters’ attitude also warranted deep reflection.
Also, there was a new developnt in Zhou Yuwei’s matter.
"Commander, two days ago, I found out Nurse Zhou has ulterior motives in approaching you, she has been in contact with Chu Yang, and they have that kind of relationship. Could she possibly..." Su Qing’s gaze flickered. He did not an to witness it, but who knew that Nurse Zhou, who seed gentle and tender, would do such things with Chu Yang in a park corner in broad daylight.
"You don’t have to worry about Nurse Zhou’s matter; I have other arrangents," Mo Junhua said, tapping his fingers on the table, the ’tap tap tap’ echoing in the silent ward. Su Qingjiang and Xiao Shan knew this was his gesture when thinking, and quietly awaited his instructions.
After a while, Mo Junhua said, "Did Ding Lei and the others almost return?"
Su Qingjiang nodded. The headquarters had received the ssage, the front had finished cleaning up, and after tallying each battalion’s losses, they would return.
"It’s normal you two couldn’t figure it out, because none of you ever suspected him. Actually, all of us didn’t. He disguised himself very well daily, no one could have guessed he was the traitor. If it weren’t for my sudden injury this ti, he wouldn’t have left any traces."
In fact, Mo Junhua, before falling unconscious, didn’t know who the traitor was either. It was only when he was nearly forty in his dreams that the traitor suddenly exposed himself, striking back fiercely, almost leading him to his downfall.
No one expected the critical mont to bring such a dramatic turnaround, where a leader he saved lent him a hand.
