Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Suspected Xiao Yun
As for the purpose, she didn’t know, nor did she want to guess.
People aren’t fools, but don’t pull everyone in...
"Sister Yuan, let’s hurry up, I’m hungry..."
"Okay!"
The two of them walked ahead, followed by an inappropriate "tsk" sound.
Jhiang Yuan held Zhou Jin’s hand, pulling her to keep moving forward, just as if she hadn’t heard anything.
This Zhou Jin, she had come here with Sister Zuo before.
They had known each other for quite a while now, living in the communal dormitories.
In the dining hall, they encountered Ye Mianmian, who hurried over when she saw Jhiang Yuan.
Fan Qing and she had left, and she felt somewhat lonely by herself.
"Don’t worry, the work over there won’t take more than two days, and then we’ll be back."
"Yeah, I’m really bored by myself!"
Ye Mianmian was kind of clingy recently. The two got their meals, said goodbye to Zhou Jin, and headed towards the house.
"Sister Yuan, I really miss you..."
"Haha, what nonsense are you talking about? We had breakfast together this morning."
"Yes, but I really can’t help missing you."
Seeing Ye Mianmian like this made her quite happy.
Not long after Grandma Ye’s passing, she had also gotten over it, which was quite comforting.
"By the way, Sister Yuan, there’s something..."
Ye Mianmian looked quite troubled, which made Jhiang Yuan a bit amused.
"Go on, you’re still hiding things from me?"
"I’m not sure, If I saw it wrong, but today when I went to get food, I saw someone behind the window, and I felt it was very much like Xiao Yun."
"What?"
Jhiang Yuan was somewhat shocked. Xiao Yun was the old lady’s daughter.
"She was like that, alive, and even came here?"
"I just glanced once, and by the time I looked again, there was no one there.
It might just be that I’m too tired recently, not resting enough."
The window was especially small, and there were many people working inside, not seeing clearly was normal.
Seeing Jhiang Yuan pondering this, she was also a bit worried.
"Sister Yuan, I might have seen it wrong, it was just a glance.
Everyone was wearing masks, and I might just be too jumpy..."
"It’s okay, you go back first, I’ll stop by Xiao Ling’s place later."
"Okay!"
After the two parted, Jhiang Yuan was somewhat preoccupied.
At that time, Xiao Yun’s body had disappeared.
Or rather, it couldn’t be called a body.
Nobody had gone up to check the exact situation; it was possible she wasn’t dead.
Initially, it was assumed that she was dragged away by something; nobody cared.
Now, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
If she had really been eaten by an animal, then the other three, which had been left for several days, were still unharmed, which was absolutely unreasonable.
That left one possibility, she had truly run away.
At the time, everyone had not paid attention, thinking that even if she wasn’t dead, she would have frozen to death.
However, they were not the only group of people around. If she had been rescued,
even being taken to Changming Village, it would make sense.
"Mom, let’s not eat this meal today..."
"Ah?"
Qin Yue was somewhat confused; everything was fine, why skip a meal.
She didn’t explain much, just sent her mom and Xiao Nuan into the space first.
She herself arrived at Xiao Ling’s place. They finished work quite late, and they had just gotten back.
It was only her and Jingjing there, Liang Kang was in the dining hall, he would be later.
"Yuanyuan, what are you doing here? Come on, inside..."
"Okay."
She had been purposely waiting there for her, not being pretentious.
Without Liang Kang back, it was the same talking to her.
This matter really couldn’t wait.
"What, you’re saying..."
Xiao Ling was just as excited as when she had first heard the news.
She soon realized her lapse and quickly lowered her voice.
"That person is actually still alive, it’s utterly unbelievable."
"We’re not too sure ourselves, that’s why we came to let you tell Liang Kang.
They’re all in the dining hall, it would be easier to inquire there.
Xiao Ling, you know that we have a lethal grievance with her.
Since she’s working there, just a little tripping up would be enough trouble for us."
Xiao Ling naturally understood the crux of it and nodded repeatedly.
"Don’t worry, I’ll talk to him when he gets back.
We must clarify this, otherwise I won’t feel at ease."
This matter concerned everyone’s interests, so there was no fear that anyone would slack off.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t stay long, as she had said what needed to be said and had to return for dinner.
When Jhiang Xingzhi came back later and saw that everyone was absent, he would be anxious.
Xiao Ling also felt very sentimental, having thought that she could spend a few normal days.
Who would have known that the troublemaker had surfaced again.
Indeed, if one wasn’t ruthless, their position wasn’t secure.
Just as Jhiang Yuan was leaving, as she passed by Song Yi’s doorway, the door suddenly opened.
"You scared me..."
"When did you become so timid?"
The other had a teasing tone, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t engage.
"Actually, I have something to tell you..."
"Hmm, come in!"
She informed Song Yi about Xiao Yun perhaps being here.
He frowned slightly, also with a touch of surprise.
"It was my oversight, don’t worry about it; just focus on your work, I’ll handle it."
"Don’t be too obvious either, we’re not really sure yet. I’ll have Liang Kang go scout it out.
If it really is her, then we can plan in detail."
If it were before, killing someone was both normal and simple.
But now, Changming Village had its own order and punitive measures.
None of them could act recklessly, lest they draw fire upon themselves.
Having said everything, Jhiang Yuan was about to leave when Song Yi suddenly stopped her.
Jhiang Yuan looked up, somewhat puzzled.
"Is that doctor very capable?"
Huh?
"Did you hear our conversation on the street?"
"Yes, I was in the house next door at the time."
Whether she was capable, Jhiang Yuan hesitated to say, but the situation there was definitely not simple.
"Song Yi, the lab you had me visit before, was it the house next to the experimental fields?"
Upon hearing this, he shook his head, uncertain of the exact location.
"At first, I also wanted to perform well, but I regretted it later.
The three of us in our family, had to take turns staying in the house with Xiao Nuan.
So, it was freer inside the greenhouse."
After all, it was work that anyone with arms could do; those who had nowhere else to go were assigned there.
One more or one less, it really didn’t matter.
"Okay, just arrange according to the real situation.
The reason I asked you to go there was hoping it would be a bit easier..."
Jhiang Yuan always felt that Song Yi’s words carried a double meaning; aside from being easy, they could also spy some secrets.
Of course, it was all about research and cultivation of crops.
Neither too great nor too trivial.
"Then I’ll head back now!"
Song Yi still didn’t move aside, and Jhiang Yuan felt a bit annoyed.
"Don’t be angry, be more cautious these days. I always feel like the weather seems a bit abnormal..."
