Chapter 286: Chapter 262: Last Wish

"You woke up?"

Wen Ci opened his eyes this time and was seen by Lu Nanzhi. Although his face was wrapped in bandages, his strange look still caught her attention.

"What’s wrong... Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" she asked with concern.

Wen Ci shook his head quickly.

"It should be the backlash force from the token being too strong, making it impossible for Brother Wen to speak." Holding a knife, Nanfeng smiled as he explained for him, "At the moment, it seems he still needs a long time to recover."

Wen Ci hurriedly squeezed out a syllable from his throat to indicate agreement: "Mm..."

Lu Nanzhi nodded thoughtfully.

She slightly closed her eyes and continued to rest her spirit.

Lan Qie continued to wrap around Nanfeng’s voice, transmitting it to Wen Ci’s ears.

"I won’t stay too long in Da Du. After I leave, please keep the matters of the Light City Angel Envoy a secret, Brother Wen."

Wen Ci furrowed his brow.

"An Angel Envoy appeared in East Continent... No matter from which angle you look at it, this is an exciting event," Nanfeng said softly. "Both Angel Envoys from the Source Tower died this time. If there are no accidents, similar incidents will not occur for a long time."

Wen Ci somewhat understood the significance of the Angel Envoy’s existence.

In a certain sense, the Angel Envoy was just a pawn.

But—

What really made people fear was the player who controlled the pawns.

After inheriting the White Parrot Emblem token, what truly made people fear was the Divine Throne behind it.

Now everyone thought that Gu Changzhi was still alive!

"This Awakening Bill... stirred up huge waves in Da Du, and Mrs. Lu firmly opposed the bill," Nanfeng said solemnly, "The Awakening Bill has been pushed forward in East Continent for many years... After layer upon layer pushing, only one step remains, which is the decision-making attitude of Jiangnan Da Du. One major cause of the current situation is the silence of Changye City."

Changye’s silence wasn’t just a day or two.

It had been silent for far too long.

Ten years, twenty years.

"The current Changye has a chaotic and intricate situation, requiring someone to bring order out of chaos... If Mr. Gu Changzhi could wake up from Qingzhong, then without a doubt, he would be the person to bring order out of chaos!"

Nanfeng slightly lowered his eyes, "But in fact... he couldn’t wake up."

When saying these words, there was a faint sadness in Nanfeng’s voice.

Qingzhong was closed, outsiders were not allowed in.

And the only person who communicated with the Tomb Guardian was him... No one knew the situation inside Qingzhong better than he did. The long journey back to East Continent to move the "token" to save the day was the last desperate measure.

Out of desperation came survival!

To exchange for the current peaceful situation... was already a stroke of great fortune.

Following that, the situation in East Continent wouldn’t be optimistic.

Hearing this, Wen Ci’s expression grew heavy.

"Brother Wen, you must help me keep this secret, not just because Mrs. Lu opposes the bill. I also oppose the bill... More importantly, it’s for the future light of East Continent."

Nanfeng said sincerely, "This return to my hometown, I want to change Changye so that it is no longer silent and can stand up..."

It would be very difficult.

The resistance was immense; any link could not afford to go wrong.

Wen Ci looked at this young man whom he had only met once... he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

It wasn’t because of the burning pain.

But because... he was a straightforward person, apart from agreeing, there wasn’t much more to say.

He slowly nodded.

For someone like Wen Ci, many complex matters were actually very simple... nodding meant good, shaking his head meant not good.

If he wasn’t willing,

Then after shaking his head... even if the king came, he would not change his mind.

This guy was a stubborn mule that couldn’t be turned back even with eight horses.

But nodding in agreement meant he would definitely do it.

Nanfeng laughed lightly with happiness.

...

...

The door of the ward was gently knocked twice.

Lu Nanzhi, with her eyes slightly closed, woke up from her short nap... she had almost no time to rest these past few days. After the assassination incident, she had to urgently prepare for the document organization of the Lion Alley case. Finally, when all the storms had subsided, she seized every minute and second to rest her spirit.

There was still a fierce battle to come.

It was a war between Huazhi and herself, a war without gunpowder.

She must go all out to ensure that her spirit and body were in the best state to face the upcoming "battle."

"Ma’am..."

The visitor was Gu Shen.

Seeing the lady’s tired appearance, he understood the reason... but right now, there was nothing more important than presenting this evidence.

"What’s wrong?" Lu Nanzhi sensed something was amiss. She received the glasses Gu Shen handed her and slowly put them on.

What came into view was the scene of the ballroom on the night of the Free Ball!

"...?!"

Lu Nanzhi instantly woke up.

She looked at Gu Shen with a shocked expression.

"This was recorded by Jiang Wan... So far, it hasn’t been uploaded to the internet, so it has been preserved," Gu Shen had already had Chu Ling check it on the way here to ensure that the recording environment was safe.

In fact, since the moment the recording was handed over to Gu Shen, it had been absolutely safe.

Because of Deep Sea’s rapid upgrade... Chu Ling currently had insufficient permissions, but she had the most fundamental basic logic, which was unbreakable and indestructible.

After Gu Shen received the recording—

Even if the opponent held the highest permissions in Dadu District... they couldn’t delete the backup from the Source Code’s hands.

"Jiang Wan..."

Lu Nanzhi softly murmured the name. She had an impression of this name... it was an unconventional girl.

At this critical juncture, the data in Jiang Wan’s hands was of crucial significance.

"Does she know what this data means..."

Lu Nanzhi’s expression was somewhat complicated. She had read the girl’s file; her parents held high positions in the Huazhi Board of Directors, and the current video data would be used by her to bring down Huazhi.

No time to think more.

The communicator’s sound rang out...

As for the incoming call number, Lu Nanzhi was very familiar with it. For ten years, she had created countless miracles with the owner of this number.

And now, they were each other’s biggest opponents.

Lu Nanzhi took a deep breath; she didn’t avoid the people in the ward but merely stood up slightly and walked to the window, looking out, and answered the call.

"Hello."

The anticipated elderly voice didn’t come from the other side.

In comparison, this voice was much younger, mixed with cleanliness, richness, and something ancient.

The person who made this call was Cui Zhongcheng.

Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or maybe it was fate’s arrangement.

Mr. Xiao Cui was also standing in the ward now.

He looked at the twilight glow outside the window, then at the elder’s withered complexion on the white bed, with a slightly dim expression.

The people at both ends of the phone remained silent for several seconds.

Cui Zhongcheng spoke softly, "Mrs. Nanzhi, the congressman’s terminal wish... is to have a talk with you."
