Chapter 208 Delusions
Zhu Ci stood in front of a full-length mirror, staring at the person in the mirror for a long time without moving.
Zong Yuanqi's face can be called pretty, and his figure is also slender and slender, but Zhu Ci is not very satisfied with this skin, and always feels that his appearance is still a little bit worse, not as good as her original body.
But is there anything perfect in this world?Besides, her original body was hopeless, like a candle in the wind, in order to prolong her own life, Zhu Ci had no choice but to reluctantly give up, find a suitable "container", and completely replace the roots.
But compared to the terminal illness, for her, what was more deadly was that she was already old.
No matter how unwilling she is, she can't resist the aging process, so she can only watch her youthful beauty disappear day by day.
How can this work?She thought anxiously, I haven't done what I want to do, how can I die so hideously and uglyly?
She doesn't want to die.
After that, Zong Yuanqi became her prey. Finally, half a year ago, she successfully performed a good show of shedding the golden cicada's shell. The image of "Qi" was reborn.
Although she thinks that Zong Yuanqi is not good-looking enough, this body obviously has many advantages. First of all, she has a special status. Her father is Zong Zhengzheng, the director of the Administration Bureau. From the very beginning, Zhu Ci thought that this would be a good cover , and the plan that went smoothly afterwards also proved this point; secondly, thanks to the blessing of Zong Zhengze, a powerful person with supernatural powers, Zong Yuanqi also inherited part of his supernatural powers, but Zong Yuanqi himself did not care about his own supernatural powers. But he didn't take it seriously, and he wasn't interested in entering the governance bureau, and Zong Zheng also respected his daughter's choice, so few people knew that Zong Yuanqi had supernatural powers; finally, and perhaps the most important thing, Zong Zheng Yuan Qi is still very young, youth just right.
But looking at himself in the mirror at this moment, Zhu Ci still couldn't restrain the uneasiness in his heart, couldn't help worrying - what should he do if he doesn't recognize himself when he comes back?
Just when she was upset, there was a sudden knock on the door.
She said three times respectfully, but failed to calm her displeasure. She raised her voice and asked a little impatiently, "Who?"
"Miss, Dr. Zhang wants to see you." The subordinate hurriedly reported, but Zhu Ci sneered, but his voice softened a lot: "Come in."
After the door opened, a man in black robes came in pushing a wheelchair. Zhu Ci turned around and winked, and his subordinate immediately backed out.
"Dr. Zhang, are you okay?" Zhu Ci looked at Zhang Jiahe who was paralyzed in the wheelchair with great interest. His complexion was pale and haggard. He looked several years old, and his condition was obviously not good.
And her sarcasm-inspired question not only didn't anger Zhang Jiahe, but made his smile a little humble: "I'm just breathing...Thank you for your concern."
Zhu Ci raised the corners of her lips, smoothed the folds of her skirt gracefully, and then sat down on the chair. She picked up the tea utensil painted with delicate patterns, and took a sip: "In this case, why don't you lie on the bed and rest?"
The Zhang family and this old man really had a hard life. He was shot very close to the heart. Before he was treated, he lost a lot of blood, but he managed to survive.
Zhu Ci doesn't care whether he lives or dies, but...
"I've been lying down for a long time, get up and move around." Zhang Jiahe said with a smile, his words sounded high-sounding, but his sick posture was too unconvincing.
Zhu Ci just smiled and didn't answer, she was waiting for his next words.
Sure enough, Zhang Jiahe didn't wait for her response, so he could only continue to say dryly: "By the way, how is Zhong Yuncong over there...?"
Zhu Ci glanced at him meaningfully, and said something thought-provoking: "Dr. Zhang is quite concerned about this cheap son."
Zhang Jiahe's smile remained unchanged: "Anyway, I've been raising them for so many years, even kittens and puppies have a little affection, not to mention this child... quite well-behaved."
Zhu Ci's eyes were fixed, she didn't believe the old fox's rhetoric, Zhong Yuncong was one of the containers she prepared for Xiao Yin back then, but she was unlucky, the epidemic broke out not long after those babies were born, those children No one survived, so she gave up the batch of "containers".
At first, Zhang Jiahe's attitude was the same as hers, letting them fend for themselves, but for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind, fell in love with one of them, and even escaped with him in the end.
What happened in between?
In the past twenty years, she had no idea that there was such a person as Zhong Yuncong, and the Zhang family kept his existence a secret. If it wasn't for Zong Zhengze's move to covert Chen Cang, she would still be kept in the dark.
To be honest, Zhu Ci was not surprised when he first saw that young man, because he really resembled Xiao Yin too much.
But it was just like ripples on the surface of the water, and soon disappeared without a trace. In a conflict after the outbreak of the virus, a hospital under her name was almost burned to ashes. Xiao Yin's body, including his brain, was also damaged.
After that, Zhu Ci's heart was completely ashamed, and he never wanted to "resurrect" his deceased husband.
As for Zhong Yuncong, to her, he is nothing, no matter how similar he looks, he is still not him.
But later, this young man regained his value—because he had the clues of the disappearing arsenal. Zhu Ci had coveted the arsenal for a long time, but she never expected that this trip to the arsenal would be due to The dark chess game of governing the bureau has completely failed.
So for Zhu Ci, his value was reset to zero again, and it happened that the Comprehensive Management Bureau wanted him, so she sent him out as a favor.
Originally, this matter ended here, but Zhang Jiahe suddenly jumped out and asked her to get Zhong Yuncong back.
Zhu Ci didn't intend to pay attention to this nonsense at all. Everyone has already been in the hands of the Comprehensive Management Bureau, and it's not easy to get back.
"You still want to see Xiao Yin again?" Just as she was leaving, Zhang Jiahe said again, "Then bring Zhong Yuncong back."
Zhu Ci stopped in his tracks, turned his head and stared at him expressionlessly: "What did you say?"
Zhang Jiahe told her the secret of that space.
After Zhu Ci finished listening, he remained calm on the surface, but his tightly clenched hands were trembling slightly.
She thought that she would never see him again.
Unexpectedly, he did not leave completely.
For Zhu Ci, Xiao Yin's spiritual power, or his will, is not a "ghost", but a proof of his existence.
Since he is still there, she must find him.
So she immediately changed her mind.
Even though she was very anxious, she didn't lose her mind. She didn't want to easily offend the Integrated Management Bureau, which had been recruited so hard. In this way, the "shadow" people would be useless.
However, there is one more suitable candidate.
Yes, Su Xian, he has a very close relationship with Zhong Yuncong, it is impossible to sit idly by when he is in danger, once he makes a move, it is tantamount to a declaration of war by the Management Bureau against the Comprehensive Management Bureau.
At that time, she and "Shadow" only need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
"You gave Su Xian the 'Broken Cocoon', so you won't be afraid of him turning around..." Zhang Jiahe was full of doubts, but Zhu Ci smiled: "So after the injection, I left immediately... he With Zhong Yuncong in his heart, naturally he doesn't have the heart to settle accounts with me."
Zhang Jiahe sneered in his heart: This woman is really cunning.
But there was a smile on his face: "I believe he has the ability to rob people from the picket team, but it's impossible for him to hand them over to you, right?"
"Impossible." Zhu Ci took another sip of his tea and smiled slightly, "But so what? He has been injected with 'Broken Cocoon', and his death is approaching. How many days can he protect Zhong Yuncong? Can't find a chance?"
The Zhang family and Moran, she really took everything into account.
He looked coldly at the woman drinking tea at a leisurely pace, and felt agitated in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he could only probe gently, "Then, when can we bring Zhong Yuncong back?"
"What's the rush? Whether he can survive is still a question." Zhu Ci casually played with the white porcelain teacup, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Speaking of which, you were not such an impatient person before?"
Zhang Jiahe smiled smugly: "I'm just worried...the night is long and the dream is full."
Hearing this, Zhu Ci's eyes turned cold, and he put down the teacup in a nonchalant manner: "Dr. Zhang, you won't...do you have something to do with me?"
Seeing her half-smile, Zhang Jiahe's heart began to sink, but he still tried to hide it: "It's nothing..."
"We've been working together for so long, so you must be very aware of my temper," Zhu Ci put away his condescending smile, his face sank like water, and his eyes were sharp, "I hate it when people lie to me."
Zhang Jiahe's cold sweat was dripping down, his brain was running fast, but he still couldn't think of a word that could perfunctory pass the test.
This woman is a lunatic, and it's not good for him to annoy her.
Zhu Ci was very patient and didn't rush to urge him. Instead, he poured another cup of tea and enjoyed it leisurely.
"That brat injected 'Paradise Lost' into me," Zhang Jiahe gritted his teeth and said, he really didn't want to just hand over the matter by himself, but the other party didn't see the rabbit and wouldn't stalk the hawk, and wouldn't eat the soft and hard. He wanted to live again, so he had to compromise, "And he is probably my 'antidote'."
Zhu Ci suddenly clenched the cup in his hand, not even noticing that the overflowing hot tea spilled on his hands.
That's it...that's it!
No wonder the old man tried every means to get Zhong Yuncong back.
If it is as Zhang Jiahe said, then she can also get rid of the shadow of "Paradise Lost" and live for a long time.
Since Zhong Yuncong was able to communicate with his "will", as long as he got him, it was tantamount to Xiao Yin returning to her side.
This time, they will be together forever.
Zong Yuanqi's face can be called pretty, and his figure is also slender and slender, but Zhu Ci is not very satisfied with this skin, and always feels that his appearance is still a little bit worse, not as good as her original body.
But is there anything perfect in this world?Besides, her original body was hopeless, like a candle in the wind, in order to prolong her own life, Zhu Ci had no choice but to reluctantly give up, find a suitable "container", and completely replace the roots.
