Jiang Xuan was taken away, he tried to contact Lin Zimao, after the other party discovered his intentions, he confiscated all communication-related products on his person.
He was still sent to the hospital, but it was just the sanatorium area of a private hospital, Jiang Xuan met his ‘sick’ great-grandfather here, his parents were there, as were his cousins, cousins’ families and others, and worry was written on everyone’s face.
When Jiang Qi’s personal butler came out to invite Jiang Xuan in, he received many envious or jealous eyes.
As a younger generation, Jiang Man stood at the back, when Jiang Xuan passed by, he whispered to him: “Great-grandfather seems to be seriously ill.”
Jiang Xuan nodded coldly: “Um.”
The rest of the people don’t know what Jiang Xuan has been through, which made them think that Jiang Xuan had been too active in front of his great-grandfather recently, and is jealous of his favor.
Qi Jingshan stood with his father Jiang Ping, she quietly shook her head at Jiang Xuan, Jiang Xuan understood what she meant, telling him not to act rashly1輕舉妄動 (qīng jǔ wàng dòng): to act blindly without thinking (idiom); to act rashly and blindly; take reckless action; be impetuous and imprudent; Refers to actions taken carelessly without careful consideration..
It seems that his mother has already got the situation from his uncle.
The reason why his great-grandfather used coercive means to let him come here, is because he didn’t want him to tip off2通風報信 (tōng fēng bào xìn): to secretly pass on information to others; to tip somebody off; send a secret message; send/furnish/divulge secret information/message; let out/give away a secret. Lin Zimao, to eliminate Lin You’s people and forces?
His mother is still staying here well, his great-grandfather still doesn’t know the relationship between his uncle and General Lin You?
This is good.
Now he’s worried about Lin Zimao and his safety, J9999 has been deployed, there must be a tough battle to fight, he’s afraid he’ll get hurt.
When he thought that he couldn’t be by his side to protect him immediately, Jiang Xuan’s whole body was filled with coldness, and his face was tense.
All of them are waiting outside the ward, although they know that Jiang Qi will not ask them to go in, but it’s their meaning to come here.
Jiang Xuan entered the room without a second’s delay.
Why did his great-grandfather do this?
If Lin You didn’t come out, after his great-grandfather passed away, no one would talk about these things again.
But when he was about to step down, Lin You appeared.
The door behind him was closed without a sound.
The room was quiet, and the housekeeper didn’t follow him in.
Jiang Xuan thought that his great-grandfather was pretending to be sick, but he didn’t expect that the other party was actually lying on the hospital bed, however, unlike in the past, the kindly attitude on his face was put away. Among his many children and grandchildren, Jiang Xuan was the only child he could face with his true face.
Jiang Qi’s old age was clearly visible on his face, he looked out the window, a group of little sparrows stood on the branches, after one flew up, the others followed and flew away, and then he turned his attention to Jiang Xuan.
Having just been pointed at the head with a particle gun, Jiang Xuan was full of emotions, he had hidden them well in front of other relatives just now, but in front of Jiang Qi, he had so many questions that it didn’t matter whether he should hide them or not.
Jiang Qi said a little tiredly: “You’ve come.”
Jiang Xuan looked straight at Jiang Qi: “Why is it you, Great-grandfather?”
Jiang Qi’s tone was light: “Yes, why me?”
Jiang Xuan remained silent, waiting for Jiang Qi to give him an answer.
Jiang Qi didn’t want to get an answer from him either: “Xiao Xuan, you know, I believe in a saying, unless a person looks out for themselves, Heaven and Earth will destroy them3人不為己，天誅地滅 (rén bù wèi jǐ , tiān zhū dì miè): A proverb, meaning, unless a person looks out for themselves, Heaven and Earth will destroy them; everyone for themselves and the devil take the hindmost; look out for yourself, or heaven and earth will combine to destroy you; Attested earliest in Liu Shaoqi‘s How to be a Good Communist (《論共產黨員的修養》)., this is my selfish understanding. From a broad sense, I am also doing this for the sake of our Jiang family, for the sake of the Alliance, without external pressure, how could the Alliance become vigilant?”
He suddenly chuckled, his smile not reaching his eyes.
On the way here, Jiang Xuan had already thought it over, connected before and after to his with his great-grandfather, there was actually no sense of contradiction.
He thought, only his great-grandfather has the ability to cooperate with the space pirates, those weapons were probably produced privately by the Jiang family and sold to the space pirates, it is also possible that someone under him smuggled it out from the treasury, who has such a great power, his great-grandfather can.
Jiang Xuan didn’t need to respond.
“You know, in fact, I want to choose you as my successor, however, I didn’t expect your mother to arrange a marriage for you privately, and by coincidence, she chose the child who was raised by Lin You.”
Jiang Xuan thought to himself, fortunately, his mother had been persistent.
When Lin Zimao was mentioned, Jiang Xuan’s face turned frosty: “What did you do to Zimao and the others?”
Jiang Qi: “I didn’t do anything, it’s just that they shouldn’t come to the Alliance, this is not their place to be arrogant.” Jiang Qi added, “The Alliance is my territory, how can I allow them to run wild, Lin You is too ostentatious.”
Jiang Xuan: “So it was you who had been preventing General Lin You’s affairs from being exposed.”
Jiang Qi: “Um.”
Jiang Xuan: “More than ten years ago, what happened to the starship on which Lin Zimao and his mother were riding was also your order.”
Jiang Qi: “Um.”
Jiang Xuan: “You have been cooperating with the Serial Number Space Pirate Group.” Jiang Xian hasn’t forgotten the reason why those people brought him here just now.
Jiang Qi: “Um.”
Jiang Xuan: “I don’t understand why you still bring me here.”
Jiang Qi: “You are my great-grandson, and now you are also my hostage.”
Jiang Xuan: “I’m a member of the Jiang family, and I’m afraid that my relationship with Lin Zimao can’t reach the point of hostage.”
Jiang Qi shook his head: “Xiao Xuan, you don’t know Lin You, do you know how perfect he is? Even though he is now my enemy, he is still a perfect person, he is a person who emphasizes feelings the most, he was able to raise Lin Zimao, dote on him as a son, love the whole house, he will come to save you, not to mention, that child Lin Zimao is just as emotional as him, you have to believe that I have lived for so many years, and I still have a good eye for people.”
What Jiang Xuan is afraid of is Lin Zimao’s current safety: “Will they be in danger?”
“They are the ones who are going against me, so maybe they will feel a little bit uncomfortable, don’t worry, I’ll keep them alive.” Jiang Qi said these words without any emotion.
Jiang Xuan knew that this was the real Jiang Qi, this was the person who had the highest power in the Jiang family, he doesn’t care about human life, he cares about power and status, and the sense of accomplishment of controlling everything from behind.
“Great-grandfather, what do you want?” Jiang Xuan actually didn’t understand, he doesn’t need to do these things to have power and status, and he is not short of money, “General Lin You has never been in your way.”
Jiang Qi suddenly laughed: “No, you are wrong, his existence is in the way. With him around, who will see our Jiang family’s mecha manufacturing? He didn’t know how many people believed in him and how terrifying they were.”
Jiang Xuan said: “However, the public’s belief should be an issue that President Arquez has to worry about.”
Jiang Qi: “Arquez is also his loyal believer, he will do whatever Lin You says, if Lin You doesn’t leave the Alliance, this Alliance will always be centered on Lin You, no matter who sits in the position of the president, what they carry out are Lin You’s idea, what they realize are also Lin You’s ideals, everything is according to his way.”
Jiang Xuan: “But even if General Lin You can influence many people as you said, but they are all positive, not negative, I believe he will lead the Alliance to go further and develop better, he will not do anything that harms others.”
He has lived with Lin Zimao these days, he knew that he was an affectionate and soft-hearted person, he is very powerful, but he never looks down on others, the fact that Lin You was able to raise Lin Zimao, shows that Lin You is not a selfish person, on the contrary, he is very generous and selfless.
Jiang Qi coughed twice, what Jiang Xuan said was the truth, but he didn’t want to hear it.
Everyone has their own persistence.
From the moment Lin You showed off each of his advantages, he was jealous of him.
There was a knock on the door of the ward, the housekeeper’s figure appeared on Jiang Qi’s communicator, Jiang Qi let him in.
The housekeeper’s expression was not very good, he wanted to report the situation outside to Jiang Qi in a low voice, but Jiang Qi shook his head and said: “It doesn’t matter, Xiao Xuan knows, just tell me, how is the plan going?”
The housekeeper said: “The small team sent out were all captured, the Serial Number people were all wiped out, our people were ambushed, they had already made preparations, and we were exposed.”
Jiang Qi coughed again: “After all, I’m still not as good as Lin You, right?” His eyes were a little hollow.
Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door, and this time the familiar figures appeared, standing outside were Yang Ming and Peng Jiashang in military uniforms, none of the Jiang family members who had been waiting outside just now were gone.
Jiang Qi was slightly stunned.
Yang Ming pushed open the door, and walked in with Peng Jiashang.
The two of them called Jiang Qi, Brother Jiang.
When Jiang Qi saw them, a wry smile escaped from his lips: “You guys came all the way to see me, you have heart.”
Yang Ming is not angry, but he is full of prestige, the mood of always clashing with Peng Jiashang in the past is gone.
The two of them were wearing straight military uniforms, looking more energetic, but more lost than ever.
Yang Ming said: “I didn’t expect that we would reach this point.”
Peng Jiashang stood aside and said nothing, and it could be seen that he felt a little pain.
Jiang Qi saw the two of them appeared together and knew what was going on: “You are still standing by Lin You’s side after all, what about him?”
A clear voice appeared outside the door: “Brother Jiang, are you waiting for me?”
Jiang Qi saw Lin You strolling over, Lin You was still wearing simple casual clothes today, he looked like a young man who was inexperienced in the world’s affairs, behind him was a young man, Lin Zimao, whom Jiang Xuan was worried about just now, he quietly winked at Jiang Xuan.
Seeing Lin Zimao appear here safely, Jiang Xuan relaxed, on the other hand, he wondered what direction the Jiang family would take, what awaited them should be an investigation by the Alliance.
Jiang Qi smiled at Lin You: “You came too.”
A simple conversation that has been delayed for many years.
Lin You didn’t ask why, he picked up an apple and started peeling it: “I remember Brother Jiang likes to eat apples the most, let me peel one for you.”
Jiang Qi said: “Thank you.”
Lin You lowered his head and peeled the apple: “When we were on the Big Ice Planet, we found an apple in a cave, the five of us each took one bite, Brother Jiang, you said at that time that if we could get home safely, you would give each of us a box.”
Jiang Qi said: “But, I didn’t send it.”
After he returned to the Alliance, he became jealous of Lin You, the once proud man of heaven was stepped on by others, he wasn’t happy about it anymore.
At this time, Jiang Xuan understood why his great-grandfather always liked to recall the past when Lin Zimao and Lin You appeared, perhaps that was his happiest moment.
Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao quietly withdrew from the ward, leaving the room to the four former comrade-in-arms.
They walked to the corridor outside, and Lin Zimao gently held Jiang Xuan’s hand.
“Jiang Xuan, why don’t you go to planet Youlin with me?”
