Chapter 1037: There’s Something Else that I Want to Do
“Good, good!” Mrs. Jiang finally sighed with relief, then sat down while stroking Jiang Anan’s long hair. The latter looked around at the strange room and asked, “Mom, where is this place? Just now, you said that they didn’t lie to you. Who are they?”
She thought for a moment and then continued, “Mom, who brought me back?”
Mrs. Jiang wiped the tears away from her face and then answered her questions, “A young man from your team brought you back. He dropped you and then left, without saying a word. You were in a coma the whole time, and I found some wounds on your body caused by zombie claws. We don’t have enough credits and zombie nuclei to send you to the hospital. I heard that you got injured trying to save Bai Xuer, so I went to her to ask her to help to send you to the hospital.”
Speaking of that, Mrs. Jiang dropped her head, both angrily and helplessly. Hearing her mother mention Bai Xuer’s name, Jiang Anan showed a cold look in her eyes but stayed silent. Then, Mrs. Jiang continued, “But, she didn’t want to help you at all. Didn’t you save her life? She doesn’t want to have anything to do with you. Why?”
Jiang Anan shook her head and said, “Mom, don’t mention her name again. From this day on, she and I aren’t friends anymore.”
They were enemies! After saying that, she asked, “Who on earth helped us? Mom, why did they help us?”
No one would save her for no reason, not to mention the fact that she was infected by the zombie virus. She never heard that infected people could be cured. But, the people who saved her life managed to do that. They surely understood how valuable the cure was. It would make shocking news if she told other people about that. If she did not have something that they wanted, how would they possibly save her with that cure?
Jiang Anan was not stupid. By saving her, those people had told her about the secret of the cure. Without a doubt, there was a reason for them to save her life and let her know about the secret other than pure kindness.
Mrs. Jiang knew what she meant. She sighed and said, “Do you remember Lu Tianyu, the one who died a year ago?”
“Yeah, why?” Jiang Anan looked at her mother with confusion. She didn’t know why her mother mentioned Lu Tianyu. What did it have to do with that evil woman?
“She came back alive,” said Mrs. Jiang, “She didn’t die… Well, she said that she did die, but she then came back to life. It was she who cured you.”
Jiang Anan slightly widened her eyes. She was shocked to hear what her mother said.
“What? She didn’t die? She saved my life?”
Mrs. Jiang nodded.
Jiang Anan asked her mother with disbelief, “How can that be possible? Even if she didn’t die… Why did she save me? Did she ask for something in return?”
It was absolutely impossible for that woman to kindly save her for no reason. That woman wouldn’t save anyone unless she wanted something from that person!
Mrs. Jiang nodded.
Jiang Anan looked at her and said, “Mom, did you promise her something?”
Mrs. Jiang sighed and said, “I told her about your father’s diary. To save your life, I accepted three terms that she named—moving to All Beings Base after you woke up, keeping the fact that she cured your virus infection a secret, and showing her the contents of your father’s diary.”
Hearing that Lu Tianyu did ask for something in return, Jiang Anan calmed down. That was not unexpected. The three terms were actually acceptable for her.
She was a little reluctant to give away the diary though. But, she would still do it. After all, her life was saved. If she died, the diary and all the other things she had would become meaningless. If she were gone, who would be taking care of her mother?
Currently, the diary was not as important to Jiang Anan as before.
“But, Ding Biao and his people have gotten the first book of the diary,” she said, “I only have the second book.
“It’s okay,” Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, “They said that you don’t need to worry about the first book. They only want the second book from you.”
Jiang Anan nodded and then said, :Have they told you when will we leave? There’s something that I want to do. I don’t want to leave until it’s done.”
“In a couple of days, they said…” said Mrs. Jiang, “What is that thing?”
“Mom, Ding Biao took the diary from me,” said Jiang Anan, “I need to get it back. Also, I don’t want that liar Bai Xuer to get away from what she has done to me.” While saying that, she clenched her teeth and had a fierce look in her eyes.
“What? Are you going to see that woman again? We should leave. We can’t win against them. I think you should stay out of trouble! You nearly died! You can’t let anything like that happen to yourself again. If something bad happened to you, how would Mama be able to live?” Hearing Jiang Anan’s words, Mrs. Jiang held her hand and said anxiously.
Jiang Anan held her mother’s hands with a deep frown, looking at her mother with her eyes turning red. “Mom,” she said, “I can’t get over it! They took Daddy’s diary and fooled around me. I saw Bai Xuer as a real friend! I couldn’t have thought that she would do this to me!”
“But… how are you gonna fight her? You know how powerful her team is. You can never win. What about… what about we wait for an opportunity?” Mrs. Jiang looked at her and said. She did not want her daughter to put herself in danger again.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened and a woman’s voice was heard, “How do you want to deal with her? I’ll help you. She p.i.s.sed me off yesterday. I’ll let her know how much she overestimated herself.”
Jiang Anan and her mother turned to see Lu Tianyu walking in with her hands resting in her pockets. Another woman had opened the door for her.
“Are you… Are you Lu Tianyu?” Jiang Anan looked at Lin Qiao and asked uncertainly.
“Yeah, I am,” Lin Qiao nodded and said. “Is something wrong?”
Jiang Anan spent a short while observing Lin Qiao, then glanced at the other woman who followed her in. After that, she said to Lin Qiao, “You said that you will help me. How do you prepare to do that?”
“How about I give you the exact location of her and Ding Biao and let you do it yourself? I can also keep Ding Biao under control.” Lin Qiao smiled and said.
Jiang Anan looked at her with doubts. “Do you… do you mean it? Can you do that?”
“Of course, our Chief can do that! We wouldn’t have come for you if we didn’t want you to take the revenge yourself,” Shen Yujen joined the conversation.
“Chief?” Jiang Anan heard the word and looked at Lin Qiao with confusion.
“Yeah. Is anything wrong about that? She is the Chief of All Beings Base. Haven’t you heard that the leader of All Beings Base is a lady?” Shen Yujen smiled and said.
Jiang Anan popped her eyes and said with surprise, “I have heard that the leader of All Beings Base is a woman. I’ve also heard that her family name is Lu!”
She couldn’t have thought that the Chief lady was Lu Tianyu! That was truly shocking!
