Jiang Xuan was taken away. He tried to contact Lin Zimao, but after the other party discovered his intention, he confiscated all the communication-related products on him.
He was still sent to the hospital, but it was a convalescent ward of a private hospital. Jiang Xuan met his "sick" great-grandfather here. His father and mother were there, as were his cousins and their families. Concern was written on everyone's face.
When Jiang Qi's personal butler came out to invite Jiang Xuan in, he received a lot of envious or jealous looks.
Jiang Man, who was the younger generation, stood at the back. Jiang Xuan passed by and whispered to him, "Grandpa seems to be seriously ill."
Jiang Xuan nodded coldly: "Yeah"
The others had no idea what Jiang Xuan had been through. They now thought that Jiang Xuan had been too active in front of his great-grandfather recently and were 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. She was telling him not to act rashly.
It seems that his mother has learned the situation from his uncle.
The reason why his great grandfather forced him to come here was probably because he didn't want him to inform Lin Zimao and eliminate Lin You's people and forces
His mother is still here well, and his great-grandfather doesn't know about the relationship between his uncle and General Lin You
That's fine.
Now I am worried about Lin Zimao's safety. I have already mobilized j9999. I think there will be a tough battle ahead. I am afraid that he will get hurt.
When Jiang Xuan thought that he couldn't be by his side immediately to protect him, he felt cold all over and his face was tense.
Everyone was waiting outside the ward. Even though they knew Jiang Qi wouldn't ask them to come in, that was why they came here.
Jiang Xuan entered the room without wasting a second.
Why did his great-grandfather do this
If Biyou hadn't come out, no one would have brought up this matter again after his great-grandfather passed away.
But when he was about to retreat, Lin You appeared.
The door behind him closed without a sound.
The room was very quiet and the butler did not follow in.
Jiang Xuan thought his great grandfather was pretending to be sick, but he didn't expect that he was actually lying on the hospital bed. However, unlike before, the kind look on his face disappeared. Among so many descendants, Jiang Xuan was the only one he could face with his true face.
The old age was clearly visible on Jiang Qi's face. He looked out the window and saw a group of little sparrows standing on the branches. After one sparrow flew up, the rest followed and flew away. Then he turned his gaze to Jiang Xuan.
Jiang Xuan was emotional after someone pointed a particle gun at his head. He hid it well in front of other relatives, but in front of Jiang Qi, he had too many questions and it didn't matter whether he hid it or not.
Jiang Qi said a little tiredly: "Here I come."
Jiang Xuan looked directly at Jiang Qi: "Why you, great grandfather?"
Jiang Qi said calmly: "Yes, why me?"
Jiang Xuan remained silent, waiting for Jiang Qi to give him an answer.
Jiang Qi didn't want to get a reply from him: "Xiao Xuan, you know, I believe in a saying, 'If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth.' This is my selfish understanding. From a righteous point of view, I do this only for our Jiang family and for the alliance. Without external pressure, how can the alliance be alert?" He suddenly chuckled, but his smile did not reach his eyes.
On the way here, Jiang Xuan had thought about it all and connected everything that had happened before and after with his great-grandfather, and surprisingly, he didn't feel any sense of incongruity.
He thought that only his great grandfather had 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 they were smuggled out of the national treasury by his subordinates. Who else had such great power? Only his great grandfather could do it.
Jiang Xuan didn't need to respond.
"You know, I actually wanted to choose you as my successor, but I didn't expect your mother to secretly arrange a marriage for you, and coincidentally chose the child raised by Lin You."
Jiang Xuan thought, fortunately his mother persisted.
When Jiang Xuan mentioned Lin Zimao, a frost formed on his face: "What did you do to Zimao and the others?"
Jiang Qi: "I didn't do anything, but they shouldn't come to the Alliance. This is not the place for them to act recklessly." Jiang Qi added, "The Alliance is my territory. How can I allow them to act recklessly? Lin You is too flamboyant."
Jiang Xuan: "So you were the one who had been trying to prevent General Lin You's affairs from being exposed."
Jiang Qi: “Yeah.”
Jiang Xuan: "More than ten years ago, it was you who gave the order for the starship that Lin Zimao and his mother were aboard to crash."
Jiang Qi: “Yeah.”
Jiang Xuan: "You have always had a cooperation with the Serial Number Pirates." Jiang Xuan did not forget the reason why those people brought him here.
Jiang Qi: “Yeah.”
Jiang Xuan: "I don't understand why you brought me here."
Jiang Qi: "You are my great-grandson, and now you are also my hostage."
Jiang Xuan: "I am a member of the Jiang family. I am afraid that my relationship with Lin Zimao cannot reach the level of a hostage."
Jiang Qi shook his head: "Xiao Xuan, you don't know Lin You. Do you know how perfect he is? Even if he is my enemy now, he is still a perfect person. He is a person who values feelings the most. He was able to cultivate Lin Zimao and pamper him like his own son. He will come to save you. What's more, Lin Zimao is just like him and values feelings. You have to believe that I have lived for so many years and I still have a good eye for people."
Jiang Xuan was afraid of Lin Zimao's current safety: "Will they be in danger?"
"They are the ones who want to confront me, so maybe they will feel a little hurt. Don't worry, I will spare their lives." Jiang Qi said this without any emotion.
Jiang Xuan knew that this was the real Jiang Qi, the person with the highest power in the Jiang family. He didn't care about human life, he cared about power and status, and the sense of accomplishment of controlling everything.
"Grandfather, what do you want?" Jiang Xuan didn't really understand. He didn't need to do this to have power and status, and he wasn't short of money. "General Lin You never got in your way."
Jiang Qi suddenly laughed: "No, you are wrong, his existence is very troublesome. With him around, who will watch our Jiang family's mecha manufacturing? He doesn't know how many people believe in him and how terrible he is."
Jiang Xuan said: "However, the public's belief should be a problem that President Alx should worry about."
Jiang Qi: "Alx is also his loyal believer. He will do whatever Lin You says. As long as Lin You does not leave the alliance, this alliance will always be centered around Lin You. No matter who sits on the president's seat, they will implement Lin You's ideas and realize Lin You's ideals. Everything is done according to his way."
Jiang Xuan: "But even if General Lin You can influence many people as you said, it's all positive, not negative. I believe he will lead the alliance to go further and develop better. He will not do anything to harm others."
He has lived with Lin Zimao for some time and knows that he is a sentimental and soft-hearted guy. He is very powerful, but he never looks down on others. The fact that Lin You can cultivate Lin Zimao shows that Lin You is not a selfish person. On the contrary, he is generous and selfless.
Jiang Qi coughed twice. What Jiang Xuan said was true, but he didn't want to listen.
Everyone has his own persistence.
He was jealous of Lin You every time he showed his strengths.
There was a knock on the ward door, and the butler appeared in Jiang Qi's communicator. Jiang Qi asked him to come in.
The housekeeper looked unhappy. He wanted to quietly report the situation outside to Jiang Qi, but Jiang Qi shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. Xiaoxuan knows. Just tell me, how is the plan going?"
The butler said: "The small teams we sent out were all captured, and those with serial numbers were all wiped out. Our people were ambushed, and they had already made preparations. We were exposed."
Jiang Qi started coughing again: "After all, I still can't beat Lin You, right?" His eyes were a little empty.
Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door, and this time, familiar figures appeared. They were Yang Ming and Peng Jiashang, both in military uniforms. None of the Jiang family members who had been waiting outside were there.
Jiang Qi was slightly dazed.
Yang Ming pushed open the door and walked in with Peng Jiashang.
Both of them called Jiang Qi "Brother Jiang".
Jiang Qi saw them and smiled bitterly: "You came all the way to see me, it's so thoughtful of you."
Yang Ming was intimidating without even getting angry, and the emotion that always made him challenge Peng Jiashang in the past was gone.
The two men were wearing neat military uniforms, looking more energetic than ever, yet more lost.
Yang Ming said: "I didn't expect we would get to this point."
Peng Jiashang stood aside without saying a word, and it was obvious that he felt some pain.
Jiang Qi knew what was going on as soon as he saw the two of them appear: "You guys are still standing by Lin You, where is he?"
A clear voice appeared outside the door: "Brother Jiang, are you waiting for me?"
Jiang Qi saw Lin You walking towards him. Today, Lin You was still wearing simple casual clothes. He looked like a young man who was ignorant of the world. A young man followed behind him. It was Lin Zimao, whom Jiang Xuan was worried about just now. He winked at Jiang Xuan secretly.
Seeing Lin Zimao appear here safely, Jiang Xuan relaxed at the same time, but also felt sad about the future of their Jiang family. What awaits them should be the investigation of the alliance.
Jiang Qi smiled at Lin You: "You're here again."
How many years was delayed by a dull conversation
Lin You didn't ask why. He picked up an apple and started peeling it. "I remember that Brother Jiang likes apples the most. Let me peel one for you."
Jiang Qi said: "Thank you."
Lin You lowered his head and peeled an apple: "When we were on the Big Ice Planet, we found an apple in a cave. The five of us each ate a bite. Brother Jiang, you said at the time that if we could return home safely, you would send 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. He was unhappy that the former pride of the nation was being stepped on by others.
At this time, Jiang Xuan understood why his great-grandfather always liked to reminisce about the past when Lin Zimao and Lin You appeared. Perhaps that was his happiest moment.
Jiang Xuan and Lin Zimao quietly left the ward, leaving the room to their four former comrades-in-arms.
They walked to the corridor outside, and Lin Zimao gently held Jiang Xuan's hand.
"Jiang Xuan, come with me to Youlin Star?"
