Chapter 998 - Chapter 998 Chapter 997 Verification

Chapter 998: Chapter 997 Verification Chapter 998: Chapter 997 Verification Jiang Yang lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Sister, I’m better! But I…” He hesitated for a long while before shaking his head in distress.

He couldn’t quite explain what was going on now.

Nan Fei probably guessed that Jiang Yang was a lot more normal than before, but he hadn’t completely recovered. Actually, that was normal; after so many years, it was unlikely to be fully healed in just a few months.

It’s alright; she had plenty of patience and was certain she would see Jiang Yang healthy and happy.

And Jiang Yang as he was now already satisfied and made her very happy.

“Don’t worry!” Nan Fei rubbed Jiang Yang’s hair, comforting, “We’ll take it slow, and it will get better and better.”

“Yes!”

“Right! I want to ask you something, and you have to answer me seriously,” Nan Fei’s eyes flashed with a hint of conflict and pain.

“Sister, go ahead and ask!”

“Do you still remember falling into the river last year? What exactly happened that made you fall in?” When Nan Fei asked this question, her voice trembled. She felt her hands and feet go cold, as if her body was no longer her own.

A fear that seeped from the depths of her soul made her figure seem elusive in the dim twilight.

Jiang Yang kept his head down, his small hands gripping Nan Fei’s tightly, though frail in appearance, he seemed to stand tall and firm like a pine.

Nan Fei waited silently for his response, having a vague feeling that Jiang Yang definitely knew something.

Before, he didn’t talk and couldn’t express the real situation, but now he could speak.

“Sister…” Jiang Yang paused for a long time before saying emotionlessly, “Someone pushed me. I was standing by the river, lost in thought, and then… I fell into the water from behind.”

Nan Fei’s form wavered, almost stumbling and falling to the ground.

As expected, someone had pushed him.

The old Jiang Yang used to space out wherever he went, but he wasn’t really foolish. How could he not know if someone pushed him from behind?

The assailant indeed wanted to kill Jiang Yang, and in her previous life, they actually succeeded. In this life, they didn’t kill Jiang Yang, and surely they must be afraid of being discovered, right? But because Jiang Yang was withdrawn and unable to speak, no further actions were taken after the incident.

So why did the assailant want to kill Jiang Yang?

If the first attempt was unsuccessful, why were there no other attempts afterwards?

These conjectures fought and entangled in Nan Fei’s mind like a tangled mess, causing chaos in her thoughts. Nan Fei bit her lip hard, using the pain to quickly calm herself down.

“Jiang Yang, do you know who pushed you?”

Nan Fei stared at Jiang Yang, anxiously watching him, waiting for his final answer.

She was like a criminal awaiting sentencing, whether it was to face execution or be released without charge, it all depended on Jiang Yang’s response. The sword that had been hanging over Nan Fei’s head for so long was finally about to drop.

Life or death, love or hate, was about to be resolved.

Strangely, Nan Fei quickly calmed down, and the pain, struggle, and tangled love and hate of the past vanished at that moment.

Jiang Yang slowly raised his head, looking at Nan Fei with a peculiar expression.

She had thought that all her doubts would be answered, yet reality dealt Nan Fei a harsh blow.

“I don’t know.” Jiang Yang shook his head, “Too many people, too noisy…”

It’s true that the riverside of Xiao Wang Village was always crowded, especially in summer, because the river water was clear and of good quality, villagers went there to wash clothes every day.
