Chapter 189 Cheng Ling's guess
…No, she couldn’t just go get those playing cards.
She glanced at the camera with her peripheral vision.
Ever since Jiang Qilan asked her last night, “Do you know Ji Chengyue?”, this question has been weighing heavily on Cheng Ling’s mind.
This question, coming from Jiang Qilan’s mouth, is really terrifying.
Who is Ji Chengyue?
She is one of the few battlefield doctors and journalists in the world. She has superb medical skills, reports battlefield news sharply, and is often active on the front line of the war.
Cheng Ling has saved Ji Chengyue twice.
Once, battlefield terrorists kidnapped Ji Chengyue, and she rescued her in the hail of bullets.
Another time, she carried Ji Chengyue out of the collapsed trench, risking the trench to collapse.
Once is strange, twice is familiar.
Although the two have a big age gap, they have many common topics.
If it weren’t for the special identities of both parties, the two would definitely be able to become closer friends.
Actually... Cheng Ling had imagined countless times what her mother, whom she had never met, looked like.
Ever since she met Ji Chengyue, her fantasy had taken shape.
Ji Chengyue had advised herself to stay away from her adoptive father Amos.
"Ling, he hides too deeply. I almost caught his tail several times, but he was like a cunning gecko, sweeping away all the scandals."
Cheng Ling sighed: "... I must repay the kindness of raising me. When he runs for governor, I will retire. I will hide far away in the mountains and live a hermit life."
That was the last time Cheng Ling and her husband had a deep conversation before he died.
Because Amos discovered their personal relationship.
Amos hated reporters the most in his life.
He believed that reporters were coyotes smelling meat, and they could not be shaken off or driven away. They would always hide in the dark and observe you, and when the opportunity came, they would rush forward.
For Ji Chengyue's safety, Cheng Ling declined Ji Chengyue's requests to meet him several times later.
When this name appeared in her ears again, she felt as if she was in another world.
Why did Jiang Qilan ask this question?
This is a question that she dared not think deeply about, but had to think deeply about.
What is his relationship with Ji Chengyue?
Cheng Ling treated Ji Chengyue's wounds.
There were stretch marks on Ji Chengyue's belly that were difficult to detect with the naked eye.
——Ji Chengyue had given birth to a child.
But Ji Chengyue herself never took the initiative to mention this matter.
Cheng Ling has never had the desire to pry into other people's privacy. Maybe it was a sad or embarrassing past. Why should she dig up other people's scars?
But now, Cheng Ling has a bold guess:
Could Jiang Qilan and Jiang Qiyun be Ji Chengyue's children?
The train of thought was instantly opened.
After returning from the Wild Boar Forest, Cheng Ling deeply explored the relationship of the Jiang family.
Because Jiang Qiyun officially announced his joining of "Survivor" very late, time was limited, Cheng Ling only had a rough understanding of his information, and the Jiang family deliberately concealed Jiang Qiyun's true identity, so she didn't realize that Jiang Qiyun had a special identity at the first time.
Otherwise, she would not get close to Jiang Qiyun in the show.
When checking the information of the Jiang family, Cheng Ling had a doubt: Jiang's mother's identity was hidden too deeply.
She didn't find any information, and there was no trace on the Internet.
In other words, since Jiang Zhenguo married Jiang's mother, Jiang Zhenguo has been hiding Jiang's mother's identity.
——Why hide it deeply?
Now, the answer is obvious.
Because Jiang's mother has a special identity, it may be dangerous to expose it.
Ji Chengyue is a person with a special identity, and exposure may bring danger to both parties.
If Ji Chengyue is Jiang Zhenguo's wife, Jiang Qilan and Jiang Qiyun's biological mother, then everything can be explained.
Ji Chengyue knows her past.
Ji Chengyue...did she notice something?
What did she say to Jiang Qilan?
Then...did Jiang Qilan doubt his identity?
Although Ji Chengyue and Jiang Qilan were not enemies, Cheng Ling did not want to expose herself.
Waiting for death was not Cheng Ling's style.
She decided to go to Jiang's house after the show to comfort Jiang Qiyun and see if she could find any clues.
The host's wise voice woke Cheng Ling from her thoughts.
"Now that everyone knows their identities and the roles they played in this kidnapping case, please keep your cards."
"The rich man's current wife - Liu Zhiting."
"The rich man's daughter who is in college - Lu Ju."
"The rich man's company executive - Gong Yuwei."
"The rich man's driver and bodyguard - Guan Yiwei."
"The rich man's current wife's sister - Cheng Ling."
"Act 1. The rich man was drinking tea at home. The gangster broke in."
"He wanted to call the police, but was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he used the things around him and left a clue."
"This clue is reasonable and will not attract the attention of the gangsters."
"The gangsters cleaned up the scene, and the clue was not discovered and was preserved."
"Act 2. The bodyguard who returned from an outing found that the rich man was missing. Call the police."
"Now, everyone can look for clues that the rich man might have left at the scene."
The five guests stood up and looked around.
Cheng Ling went to check the paintings on the wall.
Gong Yuwei searched around the eight-immortal table and saw the playing cards that were used to pad the table.
He pulled out the playing cards and smoothed them out on the table.
Cheng Ling glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.
She knew who the suspect was.
She also knew where the rich man was hiding.
Next, she just had to watch the other guests quietly test each other like chickens pecking at each other.
