Chapter 236: 236 Ordinary Person? (Fourth Update)

Jiang Mubai let out a gentle sigh, caressing Zheng Chuyi’s head, "Stop talking nonsense. With the years of affection between you and Ninth Brother, how could he possibly stop loving you? He’s just temporarily dazzled by the wildflowers outside, that’s all. Sooner or later, he will realize how good you are."

"Mubai," upon hearing this, Zheng Chuyi immediately looked up at Jiang Mubai, "Is what you’re saying true? Does Zhi Xuan really still have me in his heart?"

Her originally bright and beautiful eyes were now red and swollen, which made Jiang Mubai feel very sorry for her.

He reached out to wipe the tears from Zheng Chuyi’s face, comforting her in a soft voice, "Silly, of course, it’s true. Who in the Superpower World doesn’t know that you and Ninth Brother are the most compatible couple?"

Jiang Mubai’s pupils suddenly contracted sharply when his gaze fell on Zheng Chuyi’s bruised forehead, and he said anxiously, "Chuyi, what happened to your forehead?"

"It’s, it’s nothing," Zheng Chuyi’s eyes dodged a little, "I just accidentally bumped into a door, it’s not a big deal."

"Bumped into a door," Jiang Mubai narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold light flashing in the depth of them, "How could you be so careless! Come on, let me put some medicine on that."

Although Zheng Chuyi said so, Jiang Mubai didn’t believe her. The excuse was too feeble. Clearly, Zheng Chuyi had been wronged in the Mo family, but she was too kind-hearted to hold a grudge against them.

Zheng Chuyi was good in every way, but her heart was just too soft, and her love too persistent. Apart from him, her eyes hardly admitted anyone else.

"No need," Zheng Chuyi continued, "It’s just a minor injury. It’ll heal in a while. Don’t bother, Mubai. I came today to ask you for a favor."

"I’ll agree to anything you ask!" Jiang Mubai assured her, "But right now, you must come with me and let me apply some medicine to your wound. If a scar is left on a girl’s forehead, it wouldn’t look good."

"Okay," Zheng Chuyi nodded lightly and followed Jiang Mubai into the study.

Jiang Mubai applied the medicine very gently, and his gaze was full of indulgence, as if he were treating a priceless treasure.

"Mubai, I’ve already left the Mo family now, but I don’t want to go back to the Superpower World, so, I was wondering if I could stay here with you for a while?" Zheng Chuyi asked in a low voice.

"You left the Mo family?" Jiang Mubai paused in his actions, almost in disbelief, "Chuyi, why would you leave the Mo family? Did Aunt Mo and Ninth Brother drive you out?"

"No," Zheng Chuyi gently shook her head, "I left on my own, it has nothing to do with them. I just don’t want to get involved in the relationship between Zhi Xuan and that commoner. It’s clear that Zhi Xuan really likes that commoner now. Since they like each other, why should I stubbornly cling to Zhi Xuan? It’s better to let go early and bless them."

"Chuyi, you..."

Jiang Mubai couldn’t stand to see Zheng Chuyi in this state, always putting others first and accommodating their needs.

"Mubai, I’m fine," Zheng Chuyi managed to squeeze a smile from the corner of her mouth, "You don’t have to worry about me. I stepped back willingly, and I won’t disturb Zhi Xuan and that commoner anymore."

The look in the depths of Jiang Mubai’s eyes was very apparent, and his actions became even gentler, "Chuyi, rest assured, one day Ninth Brother will regret it."

"Let’s not talk about this anymore," Zheng Chuyi said in a lighter tone, "You haven’t answered me yet, can I stay here with you for a while?"

"Of course, you can. The room has been prepared for you for a long time. I’ll take you up there in a bit." From the moment he bought this villa, Jiang Mubai had specially reserved the biggest and best room for Zheng Chuyi, and the furnishings inside were arranged according to the layout of Zheng Chuyi’s room in the Superpower World.

He once thought that Zheng Chuyi would never see all that he had done for her in this lifetime. Fortunately, heaven was watching.

"Thank you, Mubai." Zheng Chuyi wrapped her arms around Jiang Mubai’s waist, pressing her face against his chest in sincere thanks.

Jiang Mubai’s heart skipped several beats.

If he could, he truly wished time would stand still at this moment.

"So you’re not going back to the Superpower World?" Jiang Mubai finally asked after a while.

Zheng Chuyi’s words did not quite match her feelings, "I won’t return for now. I’ve found that the secular world isn’t as bad as I imagined. I quite like it here. I’ll go back when I’ve had my fill of fun."

Jiang Mubai nodded gently.

In a military compound in Capital City.

"Song Brother, here is the information of the family of three you asked me to investigate." Zhang Zijun handed over a stack of documents to Song Shiqin with great respect.

He was somewhat puzzled, wondering why Song Shiqin would bother to investigate an ordinary family of three.

Could this family of three have some connection with Song Shiqin?

Song Shiqin received the information and quickly skimmed through it, his eyes flashing with confusion. Somewhat puzzled, he looked up at Zhang Zijun, "This is all you found?"

"Yeah, just this," Zhang Zijun nodded.

Song Shiqin rubbed his temples, weary.

He had thought long and hard the night before and always felt that Chu Jin’s true identity was not as simple as what he had seen.

"Didn’t you pay attention to whether this family of three had any dealings with any credible foreign individuals lately?" Song Shiqin continued to ask.

"No," Zhang Zijun shook his head, "This family of three are native and very authentic Capital City people. Their network of relationships is also very simple on ordinary days, and both spouses work in well-known state-owned enterprises. I haven’t found anything unusual."

Song Shiqin’s brow furrowed slightly; it seemed the matter was becoming more complicated.

Originally, he thought this family of three were either temporary actors found by Chu Jin, or immigrants from somewhere else.

But to his surprise, this family was authentically from the Capital City and they all worked at state-owned enterprises.

Seeing Song Shiqin’s slightly furrowed brow, Zhang Zijun continued, "If you say there’s something unusual, there really is one thing."

"Speak," Song Shiqin immediately perked up, looking at Zhang Zijun.

Zhang Zijun touched his chin, then spoke seriously, "About twelve days ago, the only daughter of this couple, Wang Li Li, suddenly contracted a strange illness. She was as weak as a wisp, sleeping deeply without waking. They visited many famous hospitals in the Capital City, but all the test results came back normal. So, everyone started saying the child was possessed by evil spirits. During that time, it caused panic among the entire building, even the whole community. The couple both took a half-month leave from their jobs. In that time, they brought a variety of witches and wizards, but none could cure Wang Li Li, until five days ago when a man called Master Chu cured her. It was said she had ’Soul departure syndrome’. At that moment, of the original seven souls and three spirits, only one soul and three spirits remained, on the brink of death. Fortunately, this Master Chu was powerful and pulled the girl back from the Gates of Hell. Now the whole community is abuzz with the story..."

With curiosity, Zhang Zijun said, "Hey, Brother Song, do you think this Master Chu is really that remarkable?"

Listening to Zhang Zijun’s words, Song Shiqin found them utterly absurd!

Without a doubt, this Master Chu referred to Chu Jin.

There were too many mysteries surrounding Chu Jin.

But her background seemed clean, like a blank sheet of paper.

Those who had interacted with her came from very ordinary backgrounds; nothing stood out.

It was precisely because it was too clean, too ordinary, that suspicions arose.

If she weren’t a spy sent by another country, how did she come to know her own past?

If she weren’t a spy sent by another country, why would she make a deliberate effort to get close to him?

Moreover, Chu Jin had previously been labelled a waste by outsiders. How could a waste, a good-for-nothing, undergo such a drastic change in such a short period?

Song Shiqin’s eyes narrowed slightly, a spark of insight flashing through his mind.

The only possibility for a waste turning into a genius overnight was if there had been a switch. In fact, the real Chu family’s heiress, Chu Jin, had long disappeared from this world, and the current Chu Jin was someone else entirely.

That’s why her background appeared so clean, beyond doubt, and impossible to investigate.

"Brother Song?" Seeing Song Shiqin entranced, Zhang Zijun couldn’t help but wave his hand in front of him.

At that thought, Song Shiqin suddenly looked up at Zhang Zijun, "Go check when Chu Jin underwent a drastic change in character."

"Chu Jin?" Zhang Zijun narrowed his eyes, excitement shining in them, "You mean the Chu family’s young miss?"

"Yes, her," Song Shiqin nodded slightly.

"Why on earth are you investigating that girl? Could it be you’ve taken a fancy to her?" Zhang Zijun said with a teasing smile.

Song Shiqin gave Zhang Zijun a look and said sternly, "Just go do it, why all the questions!"
