Chapter 166 Did she do it on purpose?
"What should I do..." Zeng Yichen closed his eyes tightly in pain, as if this could isolate him from reality.
An Lian took a deep breath silently and pulled back her thoughts.
"It's unreasonable for them to pause their pursuit. I think as long as there's a risk that Miss Ji will recover her memory, they will definitely strike again. You'd better remind Miss Ji and let her be more cautious."
Zeng Yichen suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes burning with anger, mixed with hesitation and indecision.
How should he tell her?
Is it telling the truth, or...selective hints?
The most she should know is that someone wants to harm her, but after all, the HYP controller has been used on her, so she may not remember that it has anything to do with their military camp.
But he can be a despicable, shameless and extremely selfish person, and still think about his own insignificant thoughts when it comes to matters concerning other people's lives...
Neither can he.
But how should he tell her that his own brother... actually sent people to hunt her down... What would she think of him after she knew it?
He might not even be able to be friends with her...
An Lian only took a glance and understood his concerns. She sighed:
"Yichen, Miss Ji should have known about this a long time ago."
At least she knew that the people who wanted to harm her were from the Western Suburbs Military Camp, Zeng Yan's men.
Zeng Yichen widened his eyes in disbelief, "How could it be?"
An Lian recalled, "I have always been suspicious of what happened on your birthday party. I always felt that a smart girl like her would not fall into the trap set by a stupid person like Zeng Qian'er."
"What...what do you mean?" Zeng Yichen looked confused.
An Lian looked at him for two seconds and continued,
"Manxi told me that when she was almost taken advantage of by that beast from the Yuan family that day, it was Miss Ji who showed up in time to save her."
"What???" Zeng Yichen's brain was hit again, and the anger in his eyes burned red again, "Miss Jiang was almost...what?"
"Oh, yes, you went out to chase Miss Ji that day, so you didn't know about this." Seeing that he looked unaware, An Lian explained.
Zeng Yichen suddenly froze, and the scene of that day flooded into his mind again.
No wonder Jiang Manxi was carried out by Jiang Baishen when he returned home...
She was so pale and exhausted at that time. It turned out that it was because of something like this.
She actually encountered such an unbearable thing at his birthday party...
But she was so weak at the time, yet she still stood up resolutely to prove Ji Baobei's innocence.
Come to think of it, she seemed to have reminded him at the party...
But he...
What a useless piece of trash!
Not only did he fail to protect baby Ji, he even caused Miss Jiang to suffer so much injustice because of his birthday!
"Okay, don't think too much about it," An Lian saw him blaming himself and immediately got back to the topic.
"What I want to say is that an orphan who has to protect herself in a chaotic environment since childhood must be very agile. So she can easily deal with a man over 1.8 meters tall single-handedly. How could she be so easily grabbed by your arm and thrown into the river with just a wave of your hand?"
Zeng Yichen was forcibly pulled out of the emotional whirlwind. He used his only remaining rationality to think for a moment, and suddenly looked at An Lian with sudden enlightenment.
"You mean...she did it on purpose?"
An Lian shrugged, "I'm just guessing."
But Zeng Yichen also reacted to this matter.
Yes! Baby Ji is so smart... the smartest person he has ever met.
The combined IQ of all the people present at the time would be beaten by hers, so how could she be restrained by that idiot Zeng Qian'er and this idiot?
"But...what good would it do her? If Miss Jiang hadn't stepped forward at that time, her reputation might have really been ruined. Did Miss Jiang also arrange this in advance?"
Zeng Yichen's limited brain capacity began to stir, but it was too chaotic to make sense.
"No," An Lian denied, "Man Xi really just happened to record the evidence. I guess it's probably because Miss Ji herself is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune."
Zeng Yichen couldn't refute this. In his impression, Ji Baobei seemed to be a person who didn't care about anything.
"But I still haven't figured out why she's acting out this scene and what her purpose is."
An Lian frowned in confusion.
"But this also shows that she must have doubts about Zeng Yan and even the Zeng family, so she took the opportunity of your invitation to come to the Zeng family to look for something."
Zeng Yichen was stunned and became depressed again.
Because I have to admit that Tianji baby's enthusiastic acceptance of the invitation seemed very sudden and abnormal.
It turned out that her sweet smile that amazed his soul to the core was not genuine.
He was obsessed with that smile for a long time, and even confidently ran to force Ji Baobei to admit that he liked him...
Damn...he's such a clown...so embarrassing.
Zeng Yichen slapped himself on the forehead and collapsed weakly on the sofa.
Seeing his expression, An Lian felt distressed and wanted to laugh, but she finally held back and said,
"Okay, go and remind Miss Ji. She should be a very reasonable person and won't hold these grudges against you."
Zeng Yichen covered his head and nodded hopelessly.
"There's one more thing." An Lian said.
"Hmm..." Zeng Yichen replied weakly, still covering his head to escape reality.
"About Commander Qi..." An Lian didn't know why, but when she mentioned this commander, she always felt a sense of fear about the unknown and the future, as if she had a premonition that the truth behind this name would cause a huge wave.
"The relevant information should be in the most confidential place in the camp. I haven't found a way to get in yet, but I will go back in the next two days to test my father's opinion. He should know something."
When Zeng Yichen heard the words "Commander Qi", he opened his eyes and sat up straight unconsciously. The face he saw once in his father's study that day immediately emerged in his mind, and doubts filled his heart again.
"By the way, sister-in-law," Zeng Yichen interrupted and asked the question in his mind: "Do you think the commander's uniform will be black?"
An Lian was stunned. As the daughter of an official family, she naturally knew that except for the leader, the officials of China were divided into different ranks according to the depth of the color of their uniforms. The highest-ranking generals under the leader were only dark gray. If it was the commander who was higher than the generals in the legend...
"It's very likely." An Lian answered. After all, she had never seen the commander in person, so she couldn't be sure: "Why do you suddenly ask this?"
Zeng Yichen replied: "To be honest, I went into my father's study that day to look through some things and saw an old photo. In it was a young man wearing black warlord clothing, and..."
