Chapter 256: Promise! Facing Fate
Chapter 256: Promise! Facing Fate
The wind on the roof was blowing freely, carrying the warmth of the sun slowly. Looking around, the world above was clear blue sky and leisurely white clouds.
The melody of the physical exercises during class breaks is brisk and rhythmic. When people look down from a high place, the figures under their feet seem extremely small.
Jiang Huashan leaned on the railing with both hands, her porcelain-white face bathed in the sunlight. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Shen Mianzhi approached her, his gaze fixed on her bright eyes, "Thank you."
Jiang Huashan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with a half-smile, "Thank me for what?"
Shen Mianzhi, "Thank you for waking me up."
Jiang Huashan glanced at the top of her head and looked away, "I don't know what you are talking about?"
"You once said that I wasn't the only psychopath in the world. I couldn't understand it until you said that to me."
Shen Mianzhi paused, looked at Jiang Huashan's profile, and finally asked the question in his heart, "Shanshan, you were also 'one in a million', right?"
Jiang Huashan's eyelids moved slightly, and she turned her head to meet Shen Mianzhi's gaze. She neither said yes nor no.
But Shen Mianzhi already had the answer, and there was inexplicably moisture in her clear eyes. Jiang Huashan could have lied to her, but she didn't.
At this moment, she felt deeply sympathetic towards the girl in front of her.
If the order of the world in my eyes is upside down, then my madness is the most rational sobriety.
She once fought against the whole world alone.
Shen Mianzhi has walked the path of struggle, so she knows better than anyone how much courage it takes.
She looked at Jiang Huashan tenderly, "Did anyone reach out to you at that time?"
Jiang Hua nodded, "Yes."
The love of the lighthouse gave her the direction to move forward courageously.
Shen Mianzhi roughly guessed Jiang Huashan's story.
Just as she thought, Jiang Huashan should have awakened her self-awareness during the long-term control and enslavement of Fang Mei, but she was stronger than her and relied on her grandfather's love to come through step by step.
"What about Suel? Is he the same as us?"
Fu Sui'er has been completely transformed since he was thirteen years old, and it is hard for Shen Mianzhi not to be suspicious.
"It's plausible."
Fu Suer's change was subtle, unlike theirs which was conscious and painful.
Jiang Huashan's honesty gave Shen Mianzhi hope and she plucked up the courage.
"If, I mean if... I can break free like Suir did, will you accept me back?"
"How did you know?"
Jiang Huashan was a little surprised, not because of Shen Mianzhi's request, but because she actually knew that she had not yet broken free from the restraints.
Shen Mianzhi, "I can feel that some kind of power still has influence on me, and I can't resist it for the time being."
Jiang Huashan's eyes lit up. Shen Mianzhi's intelligence was beyond her expectations.
Just as she was considering how to make Shen Mianzhi understand, Shen Mianzhi whispered, "It's related to Zhou Yanheng, right?"
Jiang Huashan smiled. At this moment, she wanted to eat Shen Mianzhi's brain again.
What's with the Repertory Gate? It specializes in producing genius-level brains, but they don't even give her one!
Perhaps he was stimulated by Shen Mianzhi. Just after he finished complaining, his brain suddenly started working and a flash of inspiration came to him.
There is a bond between her and Shen Mianzhi.
[Jinlan Mission: Scheme to kill the other party]
In other words, she and Shen Mianzhi must simultaneously set up a deadly trap to kill each other in order to complete the mission.
For testing purposes, she had deliberately pushed Shen Mianzhi to Zhou Yanheng, and the Gate of Drama immediately determined that half of the progress had been completed.
So far, the mission progress has not changed, which means that the deadlock still exists.
But just now, Jiang Huashan suddenly had a bold guess. Perhaps she had fallen into her own limited thinking again.
Because she predicted the ending of Shen Mianzhi's previous life, she subconsciously blamed Zhou Yanheng for Shen Mianzhi's death. But if Zhou Yanheng was replaced by any other scumbag, could Shen Mianzhi escape?
Do not!
She can't.
Zhou Yanheng is just more evil and his methods are more vicious, but if it were someone else, Shen Mianzhi would still not be able to escape unscathed. The fundamental reason is the label of "love brain".
So the one who really dragged Shen Mianzhi into this dead end was not the man, but herself.
Jiang Huashan's expression suddenly became serious. "Do you believe me?"
Shen Mianzhi was still thinking about how to break the bond with Zhou Yanheng. She was awakened by these words and said without hesitation, "Of course."
Jiang Huashan, "I can help you break free from all constraints, provided you trust me."
Shen Mianzhi's eyes lit up with fighting spirit, and he emphasized his tone, "I believe it."
Jiang Huashan shook her head. "When I say believe, I mean even if there's witnesses and evidence, even if I admit my betrayal myself, you still believe it without reservation. Are you sure you can do that?"
Shen Mianzhi was slightly stunned.
Jiang Huashan closed his eyes and looked up at the sky. "If you lose, you will be doomed. Shall we make a bet?"
The first word is "you" and the second word is "we", which means that there are two people involved, but what is being bet on is the future of one person.
Shen Mianzhi looked at the girl in the sunshine, a smile on her lips, "Bet, how can we win the future without betting?"
Jiang Huashan slowly opened her eyes and shielded her head from the scorching sun with one hand. "Have you thought about it?"
Shen Mianzhi nodded.
Jiang Huashan turned her head, her eyes calm, "Zhou Yanheng is your destiny, face him directly."

There was still ten minutes of break time after the morning exercises. The students from Decai rushed back to the classroom to read, while the students from Yingcai were walking in the playground in groups of three or four.
Su Miao looked around and didn't see Jiang Huashan. Just as she was about to go back to the classroom, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was Su Zhuo calling.
"Brother?" She answered the phone casually.
Su Miao was surprised by what Su Zhuo said on the other end of the phone. She raised her voice and asked, "Now?"
After she hung up the phone, Zhou Qishan asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Miao looked as if she had seen something strange. "My brother is at the guidance office right now and asked me to come over. It must be because of the quarrel with Fu Xiaoxiao at school last time. What is Shen Mianzhi doing? Is he really calling for a home visit?"
Zhou Qishan felt a little guilty and pulled her back, "Miao Miao, I'll go with you."
Su Miao nodded, and the two of them walked towards the teaching office together.
Not far away, Su Yun stood in the crowd, looking at Su Miao's departing back with a complicated expression.

Teaching Office.
Su Zhuo sat upright, the one-star epaulettes on both sides of his head were very eye-catching. This was a medal only given to executive officers of military and political academies.
The instructor poured a cup of hot tea and rubbed his hands nervously, "Young Master Su, please sit down first."
Su Zhuo's expression was gentle. "Grandpa takes this home visit very seriously, but with Congress imminent, he can't spare the time, so I had to come. I'd also like to ask the teacher to explain the details of my sister's conflict so we can cooperate with the school."
"Wait a moment..." The teacher turned around to look for home visit materials.
"Hello, is this the teaching department?"
At this moment, someone outside pushed open the office door.
The teacher changed her servile demeanor and looked the boy outside the door up and down. "Who are you? Why aren't you wearing a school uniform?"
The boy scratched his hair in embarrassment and smiled brightly, "Hello, teacher. My name is Xia Xingchen. I'm a new transfer student. I don't have a school uniform yet."
