Chapter 29

“Jian’an, if you were brutally murdered by someone many years ago, and you met that person again many years later, would you let him go and let the grudge go, or would you take revenge on him?”

Zheng Yunsheng looked at Xu Jianan and suddenly asked this question.

Xu Jianan was confused after hearing this. Weren’t they discussing Bai Zhiqing’s matter? Why did they suddenly ask such an irrelevant question?

“Bai Zhiqing, has she ever hurt you?” Xu Jianan looked at Zheng Yunsheng with some surprise.

As far as Xu Jianan knew, that educated youth Bai had tried hard to please Zheng Yunsheng during the years he had been working in the countryside, but Zheng Yunsheng was like a blockhead and had no idea how to be romantic.

Xu Jianan didn’t believe that Bai Zhiqing had ever hurt Zheng Yunsheng.

Gu Qijiao also looked at Zheng Yunsheng with some surprise. She pricked up her ears and waited for Zheng Yunsheng’s answer.

“No.” Zheng Yunsheng shook his head and told Xu Jianan:

“I just have a friend who has encountered such a problem and he doesn’t know how to solve it. I just want to ask your opinion and see how you would solve it if you were the one who encountered this problem.”

Although Xu Jianan didn’t know what Zheng Yunsheng was up to, he still answered honestly:

“You’ve used the word ‘harm’, so it must be a very serious matter. In this case, of course, we must retaliate severely.

It is said that a gentleman’s revenge is never too late, even after ten years. Why should I let him go after just a few years? Maybe the harm he caused has affected my whole life.

Isn’t the injury I suffered in the past an injury? If he wants me to let him go, then why didn’t he let me go in the first place? “

Xu Jianan was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and took pleasure in settling scores, so it was completely within Zheng Yunsheng’s expectations that Xu Jianan would say such a thing.

“Yeah, why should I let go of someone who has hurt me? It doesn’t make sense!” Zheng Yunsheng squinted his eyes and muttered.

After saying this, Zheng Yunsheng continued to walk back to Crescent Moon Village. He took two steps and turned back to Gu Qijiao who was still standing there in deep thought and shouted:

“Let’s go back, Jiaojiao.”

Hearing this, Gu Qijiao nodded and followed.

“No, Yunsheng, did you hear me just now? Bai Zhiqing jumped into the river. Captain Xie asked me to come find you and ask you to find the Party Secretary and get the letter of accusation back.”

Xu Jianan obviously hadn’t figured out what Zheng Yunsheng meant by that. He looked at Zheng Yunsheng walking back in confusion.

“Didn’t you just give me an answer to this matter? Why are you asking me again now?” Zheng Yunsheng turned around and gave Xu Jianan a meaningful look.

“What answer did I give you?” Xu Jianan looked at Zheng Yunsheng in confusion, but he immediately reacted:

“Didn’t you just say that it was. A friend of yours?”

Zheng Yunsheng told Xu Jianan very seriously: “Everyone has a friend.”

This is a very interesting statement.

Xu Jianan seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand. He followed Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao in a daze.

The three of them walked back towards the Third Brigade together, the setting sun stretching their shadows long.

No one mentioned asking for the letter of accusation back.

Zheng Yunsheng knew that Gu Qijiao had been secretly looking at him with inquiring eyes, but he did not point it out.

Zheng Yunsheng would not confess about his rebirth on his own initiative, but he also had no intention of concealing it.

Just let Gu Qijiao explore and discover it bit by bit on her own.
