Yan Shiba Returns

Gu Ling didn't say yes, nor did he say no in the end. He just said he would think about it again, go to bed first, and talk about it tomorrow.

The next day, Gu Ling told Su Liang his decision: none of them would go with Sheng Yue, and let him go back to Xingluo Island to "report the news" and tell Mo Yan that Su Liang was his granddaughter, and asked Mo Yan to meet and negotiate at sea.

Su Liang frowned, "If we let Sheng Yue go like this, his subsequent behavior will be out of our sight, and he may do something unfavorable to us."

"Unless we kill him, there is always such a risk. And if he doesn't come here, we can't find him, and he will still go back to Xingluo Island. It won't be worse than before." Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "You can't go to Xingluo Island rashly, Nuannuan is still young and can't leave you, and so can I."

Su Liang looked helpless, "God, you are not young anymore."

Then Gu Ling said something very childish, "Anyway, I can't let you go."

"Okay, then there's no rush in the next one or two days, let's discuss the specific plan." Su Liang sighed lightly. Indeed, it was a torment for her to leave her child. Although she was always busy with other things now, and someone helped to take care of Gu Xiaonuan, the child still slept by their bed every night, and her voice could be heard all the time during the day. This place was too far from Xingluo Island. If she really wanted to go, the child would stay at home, and it might be three or five months before they met again. By then, Gu Ling would have to leave to help her, and the child at home was indeed a problem. If Gu Xiaonuan was the same age as Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu, it might be better, but she was still a baby who needed her parents around.

The people in the dungeon had two meals a day, and although they didn't see the sun, Sheng Yue knew that Gu Ling and Su Liang had "broken their appointment" based on the number of meals and water delivered, and he didn't give him a reply that day. He didn't do anything, just waited patiently.

After another four meals, Sheng Yue saw Gu Ling again. But it wasn't Gu Ling who took him out, but came to the dungeon to talk to him.

"You go back to Xingluo Island and tell Mo Yan that we will meet him on the first day of March for a negotiation on the sea 20 miles east of Jiaye City." Gu Ling said.

Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you want me to go back this time and tell Mo Yan that Su Liang is his granddaughter?"

Gu Ling nodded slightly.

Sheng Yue shook his head, "When the time comes, what He Wei had deliberately concealed will be discovered, and he will definitely drag me down to protect himself. I know you are cautious and don't want to put yourself in danger, but your plan is not feasible. And you know very well that you are not a time traveler. If you go to the island, I don't need to harm you. Su Liang is Mo Yan's granddaughter, and he will show some mercy. He will not push her down unless he has no choice. The people who were brought into the forbidden area by Mo Yan must be sober. If I deceive you, you will have the opportunity to speak at that time, and you will naturally be able to expose my betrayal of Xingluo Island and the fact that my mother is a time traveler. I thought that you and your wife have experienced so many things in the past few years, and you are not so timid."

"Yes, I am very timid, and I don't want Su Liang to go." Gu Ling's expression was indifferent.

Sheng Yue was speechless.

"I believe that you have a way to clear yourself in front of Mo Yan for the things you concealed before. It is not difficult for you to get rid of He Wei." Gu Ling said.

Sheng Yue snorted coldly, "Should I thank you for thinking highly of me? Then can you predict whether my trip back to the island will be a good or bad one?"

Gu Ling looked at Sheng Yue's eyebrows and said four words calmly, "It depends on you."

"But this will delay things for a long time." Sheng Yue said, "Aren't you afraid that when you meet at sea next year, Mo Yan will capture several more hostages and force you and Su Liang to surrender? That would be no different from you automatically delivering yourself to him."

"Don't be afraid." Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "We believe that with your ability and intelligence, you can convince Mo Yan not to use that method anymore."

Sheng Yue's expression finally couldn't hold back a bit, "You and your wife have no sincerity to cooperate at all! You throw all the troubles to me, even if I get into trouble , you won't save me either."

"It's good that you know yourself." Gu Ling didn't deny it at all, "This time you took the initiative to come to me. For you, the purpose is nothing more than to use Mo Yan to use us, or to be a double agent, and use everyone you can use. You can refuse, then stay here and wait for death. I won't hesitate to kill you. You said that the law of survival in this world is the law of the jungle. Or you can help Mo Yan deal with us after you leave, as long as you think you have a chance of winning by joining forces with him, just do it. "

Sheng Yue was silent for a moment, and then spoke again, "This is contrary to my original plan. I have to think about whether it is feasible. Come back tomorrow, and I will give you an answer then. "

So Gu Ling left.

As soon as Gu Ling left, Nangong Lin threw himself on the iron railing, his eyes were frighteningly bright, "Master Sheng, I can help you! Tell Gu Ling to take me with you! I will definitely help you!"

On the other side, Nian Ruxue also spoke eagerly, "Master, take me with you! I will help you! I have lived on Xingluo Island, and I can do anything you ask me to do!"

Sheng Yue ignored Nangong Lin, and only looked at Nian Ruxue coldly, "You know, it's impossible."

Nian Ruxue was able to leave Xingluo Island because Sheng Yue acted privately, which caused an elder on Xingluo Island to lose his granddaughter-in-law who was abducted from afar, and a child to lose his mother. Therefore, if he takes Nian Ruxue back again, it is equivalent to confessing himself, and there is no benefit.

Nian Ruxue did not give up, "Then I will say that I ran away by myself! Master, if you catch me back, you will also be considered to have made a contribution!"

Sheng Yue shook his head, "You think too much. You are not that important."

Nian Ruxue begged for a long time, and seeing that Sheng Yue was unmoved, she and Nangong Lin scolded Sheng Yue, saying that he was really foolish to fall into the trap, and now he was controlled by Gu Ling and Su Liang, and he would not have a good end.

Sheng Yue closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything.

…

The next day, before Gu Ling went to see Sheng Yue, another thing happened-Yan Shiba was back.

The carriage stopped outside the gate of Su Mansion, and two tall young men jumped out of the car, and one of them went forward to knock on the door.

Qi Yan learned that Yan Shiba was escorted here by Sheng Yue, and he didn't let them in immediately, but closed the door and reported to Su Liang and Gu Ling.

Not long after, the gate opened again, and the carriage slowly entered the mansion and stopped inside the gate.

Su Liang came over and saw Sheng Yue's subordinates retreat to the side, and there was no movement in the carriage. She had thought that when she saw Yan Shiba again, this person would definitely rush over and deliberately call her "Sister Liang" in a weird voice like before, but two years had passed. Sheng Yue said that Yan Shiba did not lose her memory, but the last injury injured her lungs, and she was in the cold north, so her health was not very good.

Su Liang lifted the car curtain and saw a person wrapped in a quilt lying in the car, with his eyes closed and his face thin and pale.

Su Liang went into the car to check the old injuries on Yan Shiba's body, which were the same as she remembered. After taking Yan Shiba's pulse, she found that she had taken tranquilizers and fell asleep. The pulse was indeed not very good. It was easy to imagine that the bumpy journey had made her health even worse.

Su Liang carried Yan Shiba down and sent her to the yard where Wen Ran lived.

"Is it the real Miss Yan?" Qi Yan asked Su Liang in a low voice. Given the previous experience, it is not impossible for Sheng Yue to send a fake one again.

Su Liang nodded, "It should be." At this point, Sheng Yue did not need to do this again.

As for Sheng Yue's two subordinates, they were naturally asked to accompany their master in the dungeon.

It was not until the evening that Yan Shiba finally woke up.

Wen Ran heard the cough and hurried to inform Su Liang.

Su Liang pushed open the door and saw Yan Shiba sitting up with difficulty, coughing non-stop while holding his chest.

Hearing the footsteps, Yan Shiba turned his head and saw Su Liang. He was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly turned red, "Ghost girl, you are a conscienceless person! Why didn't you come to me earlier!"

Su Liang heard that, it was that smell, the real Yan Shiba was not running away.

She sat down by the bed, held Yan Shiba's hand, and felt her pulse again, "I found you, but I don't know where you are, I thought you were gone."

Yan Shiba stretched out his hand to hit Su Liang, but before he touched Su Liang, he bent over and coughed violently, "Please cure me quickly... I want to die from coughing." Yan Shiba's voice was weak.

Coughing is indeed a very torturous disease. After Su Liang finished taking the pulse, Wen Ran brought in the boiled medicine.

"You will feel better after drinking the medicine." Su Liang added cough suppressants to the medicine.

Yan Shiba was about to take it, but her hands trembled uncontrollably. She suddenly felt a little discouraged, "My body is already useless, you feed me."

Su Liang put a pillow on Yan Shiba's back so that she could sit firmly, then took the medicine bowl and asked Wen Ran to eat first. She fed Yan Shiba the medicine one spoonful at a time.

As she drank, Yan Shiba said, "Stinky girl, if I hadn't thought about you and you would definitely save me, I would have been unable to bear it long ago!"

In the past, no matter how serious the injury was, Yan Shiba's mental state was always lively and she was not afraid of death at all. But after meeting Su Liang, so many things happened, and Yan Shiba was also changing. Before today, the last time she saw Su Liang, Su Liang gave her an "ultimatum", either to turn over a new leaf or stop associating with her.

Yan Shiba didn't completely refuse at that time, saying that she would think about it carefully before giving Su Liang an answer.

Two years have passed since then.

Yan Shiba was captured in Liang Country. At that time, Sheng Yue recruited the disabled Yan Shiqi and used him to find Yan Shiba's whereabouts. Yan Shijiu was similar to Yan Shiqi. He loved Yan Shiba but was always summoned and dismissed. He didn't treat him as a human being and eventually betrayed Yan Shiba.

Sheng Yue targeted Yan Shiba, mainly for the purpose of getting Yanyun Tower. The unexpected gain was that he learned that Yan Shiba had a close relationship with Su Liang and Gu Ling.

When Sheng Yue captured Yan Shiba, the number of assassins in Yanyun Tower had decreased sharply after several years of internal fighting, and there were not many left.

Sheng Yue had explained these things to Gu Ling and Su Liang after arriving at Su Mansion. As for the assassins in Yanyun Tower, they all chose to be loyal to him and were now lurking in Nanshan City on standby. Sheng Yue said that he had no intention of threatening Su Liang, but it was more convenient for him to pass by there when returning to Xingluo Island.

As for Yan Shiba, Sheng Yue did not kill her, nor did he torture her intentionally. However, because she refused to surrender, she was seriously injured in the fight. Sheng Yue could not find a miracle doctor like Su Liang to treat her. Although he treated her, it was not cured.

Before Yan Shiba was captured, she had decided that when she saw Su Liang again, she would tell her that she was tired of being a killer and felt it was boring. She planned to try to live a normal life. As a result, the plan could not keep up with the changes. She was captured and trapped in a place without sunlight. She kept coughing day after day and night after night. It was a life worse than death.

Although Yan Shiba complained about Su Liang not saving her earlier, she actually knew very well that if she wasn't Su Liang's friend, Sheng Yue would have killed her long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to send someone to escort her back to Su Liang from afar. This must be the result of some conditions between Su Liang and Sheng Yue.

The bowl of medicine was empty, Su Liang put it down, and was hugged by Yan Shiba.

Su Liang patted her back gently, "It's okay, it's all over, I will cure you."

"I heard that you and Xiao Gu had a baby? Where's our daughter?" Yan Shiba seemed to think that crying was not in line with her temperament, and she squeezed back the tears that were about to squeeze out of her eyes, and asked about Gu Xiaonuan.

"That's my daughter, not your daughter." Su Liang said.

"I don't care, your daughter is my daughter! Bring her to me and see if she looks like you!" Yan Shiba urged.

Su Liang took the medicine bowl and went out, "Wait."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yan Shiba's tears rolled down from her eyes. She immediately raised her hand to wipe them away and complained to herself, "It's really annoying to have concerns..." After all, she is no longer the crazy Yan Shiba who plays with the world. It is definitely wrong to say that her mentality changed suddenly at a certain point in time, but thinking back to the bits and pieces of knowing Su Liang until now, many of the past that she once thought were fun and entertainment are affecting her, and from the beginning of knowing each other, she was attracted to Su Liang and yearned for Su Liang's life, but for a long time, she didn't realize it.

Su Liang returned to Yuanming Pavilion, and Gu Ling pulled her to finish her meal before going to see Yan Shiba.

Su Liang sighed slightly, "Goodbye, she is now physically and mentally very fragile, and can't stand the torture." Apart from other things, the last thing Yan Shiba did before being arrested was what Gu Ling asked her to do, and the last time she was injured before being arrested was also for them. For these, Su Liang couldn't ignore her.

Gu Ling held Gu Xiaonuan in his arms, while Su Liang carried the food for Yan Shiba to the door, but Gu Ling did not go in.

Su Liang brought the food in first, and Yan Shiba frowned, "Where is my baby daughter?"

Gu Ling's face was a little dark, why did one, two, or three of them want to snatch the child from them?

Su Liang came out again and carried Gu Xiaonuan in.

Yan Shiba, who was hungry and had just picked up the buns, threw the buns back into the plate the moment he saw Gu Xiaonuan, and stretched his hands high, "Our daughter is so pretty! Let me hug her!"

Gu Xiaonuan did not know Yan Shiba, so she looked at Su Liang and asked with her eyes how to call this strange aunt.

Su Liang held Gu Xiaonuan and sat down on the bed, and put her next to Yan Shiba, "This is Aunt Yan."

"Aunt Yan!" Gu Xiaonuan called sweetly, and even leaned over to kiss Yan Shiba.

Yan Shiba felt that the softest part of her heart was stabbed hard, and her eyes turned red again. She held Gu Xiaonuan's little hand and was about to say something, but because of her excitement, she coughed again and quickly turned to the side.

However, because she drank the medicine, she only coughed twice this time and stopped. Yan Shiba turned around and saw Gu Xiaonuan patting her shoulder with her little hand, as if to comfort her, which made her nose a little sour. She hugged Gu Xiaonuan and sighed, "Baby is so good."

Su Liang was a little unaccustomed to Yan Shiba's sentimentality now, but it was understandable. Children are always tear-jerking artifacts, especially her Gu Xiaonuan, who is young but the most pleasing.

The food was getting cold, Su Liang brought Gu Xiaonuan over and asked Yan Shiba to eat quickly. She didn't eat much, and her eyes were a little hazy, because the medicine she drank before also contained sedative ingredients, and her body needed to be well taken care of.

"See you tomorrow, baby." After Yan Shiba saw Gu Xiaonuan, he could no longer see Su Liang. After lying down, he tried to lift his heavy hands, waved to Gu Xiaonuan, and pulled the corners of his mouth.

"Good night, Aunt Yan!" Gu Xiaonuan said with a smile.

"Don't call me Aunt... I'm your daughter..." Yan Shiba muttered, and fell asleep unconsciously.

...

Late at night, Gu Ling came to the dungeon again and asked Sheng Yue about his decision.

Sheng Yue's two subordinates sat quietly beside him, and he sighed, "You didn't give me any choice. In this case, I'll listen to you. I can only say that I will try my best."
