Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 299: He Gave Her the Island

Chapter 299: Chapter 299: He Gave Her the Island

Secretary Fan’s cold sweat was streaming down.

How could she be so sure?

Suddenly, she asked Song Yunuan, "Zhong Shaoqing doesn’t even know you, why did he ask you for help?"

Even if he was asking for help, shouldn’t it be her to be approached?

Song Yunuan replied, "This has to do with Shangguan Yunqi, but since Shangguan Yunqi is still under interrogation, I can’t say anything."

Secretary Fan experienced a moment of blankness in her mind.

But once she recovered, she incredulously asked, "That Xia Bowen, he’s your grandfather?"

Song Yunuan nodded then shook her head, "In name only, it has no meaning."

Secretary Fan knew that Shangguan Yunqi had been arrested, but she really didn’t know anything else.

However, she thought Director Qin must know.

But she hadn’t mentioned it, suggesting that this familial relationship was not considered important.

There might be more intricacies within the situation, seemingly complex and incomprehensible, but Secretary Fan knew what should be asked and what shouldn’t.

After some consideration, Secretary Fan said, "Okay, let’s do as you say."

Song Yunuan’s capabilities were beyond doubt.

In just one day, she had nearly taken control of the summer camp.

If the adults were to leave now, leaving only the children, Secretary Fan believed that Song Yunuan would lead them well and ensure they had a good time.

After breakfast and tidying up, having taken care of personal needs in the makeshift male and female toilets constructed from tree branches, Song Yunuan organized a gathering.

Roll call was taken, and everyone was present.

Kurt Gymm stood at the front of the line, absolutely obedient to Song Yunuan’s arrangements.

The forest to the west was not a purely natural forest; part of it was man-made shelterbelt.

But there were still plenty of native trees.

There were no large wild animals, and security personnel had checked there were no snakes or rats around.

Last night, a snake had appeared, but Song Yunuan had caught it with ease and used it as a weapon.

Perhaps sensing danger, the grass and shrubs were quiet today.

Expecting only half to show up, to her surprise, everyone had come and gathered around Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan asked Zhong Shaoqing if he wanted to come along.

Zhong Shaoqing really did.

Since he was twelve, he hadn’t had a proper look at the world, and he truly wanted to go on a forest adventure.

But he was worried about falling ill suddenly.

Song Yunuan saw his concern and nonchalantly said, "If you want to go, then go. Just stick with me, and I’ll keep an eye on you."

Zhong Shaoqing’s phoenix eyes shone surprisingly bright.

He really wanted to ask Song Yunuan at this lucid moment, "Why are you so kind to me?"

His eyes were wet, feeling a bitter sensation.

But as a madman who wouldn’t live much longer, he probably didn’t even have the right to ask that question.

He obediently nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

His compliant appearance made Song Yunuan want to pat his head, as he reminded her a bit of Asheng.

Song Yunuan touched her chin, wondering if Second Young Master Zhong could dance.

Hmm, a bit of disco wouldn’t be bad.

When they reached the edge of the forest, Song Yunuan looked back and saw some people carrying basins and baskets, as per her prior instructions. There were mushrooms in the forest that could be picked—not necessarily to eat, but they could consult experienced locals to teach them how to identify them.

Also, they shouldn’t pick colorful mushrooms.

Nor should they pick those that crumble at the base with a single touch.

Not too many were needed, just a few would do.

There were also people holding notebooks, ready to pick leaves to make bookmarks.

She told everyone not to wander off alone, to move as a group, and not to stray too far. Exploring just this area would suffice.

Secretary Fan and the two teachers followed the students.

Suddenly, it felt so comfortable.

Zhong Shaoqing, feeling too embarrassed to stay too close to Song Yunuan for fear of causing trouble, yet still wanting to be near her, ended up in a daze in front of Song Yunuan.

The world began to blur, and people seemed unreal, three-dimensional turning to flat, and his heart was pounding.

He felt unwell, and, in his urgency, he hugged a large tree.

Song Yunuan: ...

Hey, isn’t this a red pine?

Ah, and there are so many pine cones up there, so big.

Song Yunuan planned to take a few home for her family, palm-sized pine cones, although not yet ripe, she wanted to bring them back for her younger brother and uncle to broaden their horizons.

Hmm, and Gu Huai’an.

But she couldn’t pick them in front of others, otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough to go around.

Song Yunuan rummaged through her shoulder bag, unsure if Second Grandpa’s revival pills would work, she took them out and pulled Zhong Shaoqing’s hand away, then smacked him with a tree branch.

Then she handed him the pill, saying, "I don’t know if it will work, but you could try it."

Zhong Shaoqing’s vision was blurry, then he felt a pain in his palm and suddenly regained consciousness.

He looked at Song Yunuan with surprise and swallowed the pill without hesitation.

Song Yunuan glanced at the crowd, thankfully, everyone seemed fine, each of them quite excited.

Under the red pine tree, Zhong Shaoqing, out of long-standing habit, kept his mind running as long as he was sober.

Song Yunuan might be his only hope.

If Song Yunuan could help him reclaim his family fortune, he would give her the island.

Then he thought, the Zhong family was really too chaotic, that beastly father and son duo and that ruthless woman, none were easy to deal with.

Why get Song Yunuan involved?

But then, she was so capable, just look at this summer camp, now seemingly under her command.

The four bodyguards following him all smiled pleasingly when they saw Song Yunuan.

Just from this, it was clear the four men were afraid of Song Yunuan.

The beating from last night must have hurt quite a bit.

Song Yunuan saw the changes in Second Young Master Zhong’s expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhong Shaoqing blurted out, "I’m thinking, if you can help me take back my family fortune, I’ll give you the island!"

Song Yunuan: ...

Ouch, although I’ve seen the world, I’ve never owned an island.

Sunshine, beaches, waves, palm trees, bikinis...

Song Yunuan narrowed her eyes and said with a pained expression, "No, I don’t want your island; after all, it was left to you by your mommy. As for your family fortune, don’t worry. You still have three years to work with. Plus, you need to get well first. What if you ’gah’ after getting your fortune back? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?"

Zhong Shaoqing: Gah?

That must mean to die, right?

He nodded obediently.

As for how to get treated, he looked at Song Yunuan, a bit worriedly, and said, "But I have no money. What if Zhong Ming doesn’t give me the money for the treatment?"

Song Yunuan: "Don’t worry, if he doesn’t, just owe it for now."

Zhong Shaoqing hummed in agreement and asked no more.

Song Yunuan had initially wanted to discuss teaming up to overturn the Zhong and Shangguan families, but seeing his current unstable mood, she decided to wait until he was more stable.

That night, Adah took the initiative to give Song Yunuan the video tape; by the end of the day, their meager intrigues had been quashed.

Who would dare to cross her?

In the morning forest adventure, they were taught a lesson by Song Yunuan, overtly and covertly.

They really didn’t dare to harbor any ill intentions anymore.

Song Yunuan put the videotape into her backpack and made her way to the forest under the cover of night.

However, before she entered, Song Yunuan suddenly stopped in her tracks. Not only was she strong, but she was also agile. Could this be a benefit from transmigrating into a book?

Maybe so.

Otherwise, how to explain it?

At this time, in the test flight base pharmaceutical laboratory, the first batch of drugs had been produced.

Gu Huai’an arranged for the vehicles and escorts. Old Mr. Gong, with red-rimmed eyes, wiped away his tears. He personally oversaw the transport and soon disappeared into the night...
