Chapter 98: Follow-up
During the days without her friends, Jiang Youtao relieved herself by watching Ji Youshang's live video broadcasts.
After Ji Youshang and Old Man Ji were taken away, they were handed over to higher authorities for trial. Ji Youshang confessed to having been instigated to defect.
It all started with Mr. Ji.
Mr. Ji is a Christian. When Ji Youshang was a child and the moral customs were not strict yet, Mr. Ji would often tell them about the prosperity, humanity and human rights of Country M.
After their own hospital was nationalized, the Ji family's living standard declined significantly. In order to avoid any excuses, they even sent away their servants.
Young masters like Ji Youshang have to do the work.
Ji Youshang's three views had already been formed by that time. As the domestic atmosphere became more and more tense, he became more and more curious and yearning for the M country that Grandpa Ji once mentioned.
Last year, when Ji Youshang was about to graduate and become a doctor in his own hospital, a good friend of his approached him and said that as long as he was willing to provide the patient files of his hospital, especially the files of senior executives, as well as the financial situation of their hospital, and cooperate with them to replace some insignificant drugs in the hospital, they would allow him to go abroad through formal channels.
And he was also promised a very generous and considerable sum of dollars.
In this era of scarce foreign exchange, the value of the US dollar is very high. Under the temptation of going abroad and the promise of a large sum of money, Ji Youshang was turned against the government.
When he was sent to Zao Township by Mr. Ji, he had already given out information about the hospital's patients, financial situation, and the background of its medical staff, but he had not yet had time to change the dressings.
After investigation by the National Security Bureau, it was found that the enemy agents were going to release a virus into the hospital. This virus can cause diarrhea in people within a short period of time and is highly contagious.
As long as there is one patient, there is a possibility of infection if anyone comes into contact with the water he drinks, the cups, bowls, chopsticks, clothes, and feces he uses.
Once such a drug enters the market, as long as one person uses it, the catastrophic virus will soon spread throughout the city. If the number of mobile personnel increases, it will cause a large-scale reduction in the domestic population, and China, which has just started to improve, will regress 20 years in all aspects of national strength and return to the level of the 1940s and 1950s.
The story of Mr. Ji's treason is even easier to tell.
In those days, the M/R countries were powerful, burning, killing, looting, and committing all kinds of evil on the land of China. In the chaotic times and under the war, the medical family became a favorite in the eyes of both sides.
Mr. Ji had a good friend who was a student studying in M country. He himself had also traveled to M country and R country. He had a very good impression of both countries. The prosperity of those developed countries made Mr. Ji particularly yearn for it.
After the war broke out, Mr. Ji stopped communicating with his friends. His father was providing medical supplies to the two parties in the country. Mr. Ji felt that it was not safe. The gap between the two countries was so big. What if both parties in the country were defeated?
So under the persuasion of Mr. Ji, his father agreed to provide medical supplies to Party R. In that environment, the matter of funding Party R could not be known to too many people, so those who knew about this matter were all confidants of the Ji family.
After the R side surrendered unconditionally, the Ji family was afraid that the truth would be exposed, so everyone who knew about this matter was killed by Grandpa Ji. His fact of aiding the enemy was covered up until the 1980s, when a descendant of that time saw this letter while sorting out his grandfather's belongings, and the fact that the Ji family surrendered to the enemy was exposed.
Jiang Youtao frowned when she saw this. She was first concerned about the existence of the virus: [ Tongzi, why is there no such infectious disease in the book? ]
Could it be that this is something that only appeared after the No. 9 small world merged with the background of the big world?
Melon-eating system: [ Host, it existed in the previous life. When Ji Youshang took Meng Linyi home for the New Year, he found an opportunity to go to the hospital to change the medicine, but before the medicine was widely circulated, Meng Linyi discovered that the medicine was wrong and quickly developed a vaccine specifically for viral diarrhea. ]
[ This vaccine can completely kill this virus. ]
Jiang Youtao was confused: [ So, later on, was the credit attributed to the Ji family? ]
[ Yes, the Ji family became the earliest vaccine manufacturer in the country. ]
What is a vaccine? It is something that is indispensable for the health of a country's people. The Ji family became the earliest manufacturer in the country, and they gained fame and profits.
Jiang Youtao laughed angrily, and she chuckled: [ Is No. 9 still angry? Beat him up, and then ask him if he knows that Mr. Ji has also been reborn. If he knows, beat him up again, and follow the three meals a day rule. ]
There is a reborn person who has been lurking in the small world No. 9 for more than 20 years. As the consciousness of the small world, No. 9 cannot be unaware of it. Since he knows it, but still allows Meng Linyi to be plotted against, it reflects many problems.
This was a twenty-year conspiracy.
The expression of the melon-eating system suddenly became serious.
In an age dominated by time travelers, there is a speculator who was reborn twenty years ago and successfully plotted against the heroine. This is not allowed in the big world.
After the main brain and the big world consciousness received the report from the melon-eating system, they took away the small world consciousness No. 9.
Not long after, the melon-eating system gave feedback: [ The consciousness of the No. 9 small world did know that Mr. Ji was a reborn person, and it even provided Mr. Ji with a convenience by stealing Meng Linyi. ]
Jiang Youtao was confused: [ What does this mean? ]
The melon-eating system just felt unlucky: [ Meng Linyi should not be a child of the Meng family. She should be born in the Luo family in Shencheng, which is also a medical family, but compared to the Ji family, the Luo family is much better. ]
[ During the Anti-Japanese War, all the Luo family members who were able to join the army did so, and only two or three out of ten returned. Now, the two or three are all serving as doctors in important national hospitals, and one or two are even treating the top leaders. ]
Compared to the Luo family, the Ji family really can't catch up. The Ji family is in decline, and every one of their descendants is useless.
Jiang Youtao was completely confused: [ What is No. 9 trying to do? Could it be that Mr. Ji is its illegitimate child? ]
The answer is outrageous, and the melon-eating system is really screwed: [ Because the consciousness of the No. 9 small world feels that Mr. Ji looks a lot like the person who created it. And this world is already the third round. ]
This melon was so shocking that Jiang Youtao couldn't even hold the melon seeds in her hand: [ Explain it. ]
The melon-eating system told Jiang Youtao the story.
If we count the life in which Grandpa Ji did not reincarnate, this is Meng Linyi's fourth life.
Her first life was a college student in the 21st century. After her death, she was reborn into the Luo family in the 1950s.
In her second life, she was born in the Luo family and grew up in the Luo family. When she was seventeen years old, she awakened the memory of her first life and also had a red envelope group. With the help of the red envelope group, she researched many medicines that benefited the country and the people, and she also married the soldier who protected her.
The soldier was family-oriented and considerate, and he and Meng Linyi loved each other all their lives.
By that time, the Ji family had already fallen. Around 1986, the Ji family's aid to the enemy was exposed, and all the Ji family members were arrested and imprisoned. Because this incident was made an example, the Ji family's affairs were reported nationwide, and the consciousness of the No. 9 small world noticed him.
He looked too much like the person that the consciousness of small world No. 9 missed, so he moved selfishly, and the events of the third round happened.
Jiang Youtao understood everything at this moment: [ No wonder this system used to help Meng Linyi engage in substitute literature. It turns out that Meng Linyi didn't do it voluntarily, but it was the system that did it.]
Jiang Youtao was about to vomit.
The melon-eating system continued: [ So No. 9 used it's remaining power to cross the sky and the sea, reversed the ending, sent Mr. Ji back to 1957, tampered with his memory, and replaced Meng Linyi. ]
There is no need to explain what happened next, Jiang Youtao knew it all.
She cursed in her heart. Originally, Meng Linyi was in the script of a powerful country in the red envelope group, but after the brainless No. 9 consciousness looked for a substitute, she became a big wronged person who supported a family of enemy spies?
Jiang Youtao couldn't hold back her beautiful Chinese anymore, and she praised the No. 9 small world to the melon-eating system for half an hour.
[ Is there a punishment in your big world for such idiots? ]
[ Yes, System 9 has been permanently annihilated. The Big World Consciousness has never seen such a stupid, reckless Small World Consciousness. In order to give a warning to other World Consciousnesses, the Big World Consciousness has given it all the punishments of the Eighteen Layers of Hell. If it still has energy after the punishments, it will be given another round.]
In other words, there are both hardships.
Jiang Youtao asked the last question: [ Then the question arises again, who created No. 9? ]
[ Heh... that idiot likes to wander around. When he first became conscious, he met the ancestor of the Ji family. He looked down on women and had a lot of feudal dregs that favored boys over girls. Who created it? I don't even know what it is! ]
Jiang Youtao was so angry that her teeth itched: [ I thought that No. 5 and No. 6 were disgusting, one insisted on making a person became a wife of gay man, and the other insisted on making a person who served the complaining disabled. Now, here comes No. 9, a small world consciousness that insists on using a genius to give a white moonlight to help it out of poverty. ]
[ Could it be that the consciousness of the No. 9 small world was once the concubine of some ancestor of the Ji family? Otherwise, why would it miss him so much? ]
The melon-eating system is silent. It didn't dare to speak at all.
Because these small worlds are really more powerful than each other, the consciousness of small world No. 9 really possessed a concubine that the Ji family ancestor loved the most. It was also a coincidence that the concubine looked like a woman that the Ji family ancestor loved but could not get.
The melon-eating system dared not speak, it was trembling, these small world consciousnesses were becoming more and more disgusting, if Jiang Youtao got annoyed and simply quit, what would happen?
The world's confused consciousness has been corrected, and the National Security Bureau has found out Meng Linyi's real parents and relatives. The melon-eating system immediately broadcasts it to Jiang Youtao in real time.
After Meng Linyi realized that she was not from the Meng family, she was stunned for a moment.
For some reason, after knowing that she was a member of the Meng family, Meng Linyi breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully looked at the information about the exchanged child and then laughed.
It's so clichéd. After the war, people from the Luo and Meng families gave birth in the same hospital at the same time. In the panic, the nurse took the wrong babies away.
Meng Linyi had seen this kind of plot in novels and TV dramas in her previous life. It was not new at all. The education received by this child taken away by the Luo family must have been different from that of the original Meng Linyi.
Meng Linyi wondered, if she had not traveled through time, or if she had not brought the red envelope group with her, and she had been recognized by the Luo family, would she have followed the path of the real daughters in novels and TV dramas?
Ignored by her biological parents, despised by people of the same class as her biological parents, and finally, transformed beyond recognition by day-to-day jealousy.
Meng Linyi felt tired just thinking about it. She was afraid of trouble, so she asked, "Is the Luo family good to the child who was swapped?"
"He's living a good life." said the person who came to deliver information to Meng Linyi.
The child that the Luo family exchanged was a boy. The Luo family had few children, and each one was a treasure. The one in the Luo family had been well-educated since childhood and was now studying at the Capital Medical College with very good grades. He was not good-looking, just ordinary, but he was a well-deserved favored child of this era.
"That's good." Meng Linyi is not the original Meng Linyi. In her current understanding, she has just traveled through time. She has no sense of belonging to either the Meng parents or the Luo parents.
When asked if she wanted to recognize the Luo family, Meng Linyi thought about it and refused: "It's fine now, why let them know about this and cause trouble again."
But the Luo family still knew that Meng Linyi was wrongly taken. Luo's father and mother never thought that the son they had raised for more than ten years was not their own, nor did they think that their biological daughter lived such a bad life in the Meng family. However, they raised the Meng family's child with great care.
The Luo family came to see Meng Linyi. Meng Linyi's parents looked at Meng Linyi with tears in their eyes. Meng Linyi was very calm. She just asked Luo's father and mother: "If you took me back, what about Luo Song? What are you going to do with him?"
Luo's parents were speechless. They had raised Luo Song since he was a child, and they were very close to each other. Before they knew they had taken him away by mistake, Luo Song was their pride.
Meng Linyi said, "Let's just leave it at that. You won't give up Luo Song, and I can't forget how I lived in the Meng family for the past ten years. Let's leave it at that. It's good for everyone."
Meng Linyi is not the original owner. She was not the one who suffered the previous ten years. She has no right to make any decisions for the original Meng Linyi.
She didn't want to and couldn't live in peace with Luo Song. It was not Luo Song's fault, nor was it the original Meng Linyi's fault, that he was taken away by mistake. But in the past ten years, Luo Song received a good education in the Luo family and had no worries about food and clothing, while the original Meng Linyi had to serve the whole family at a young age.
She can be selfish. She has lofty goals. She is racing against time and life every day and every second. She still has a lot of things to do. She doesn't have that much time to spend with the Luo family.
Jiang Youtao turned off the broadcast screen and went out to wash her face. When she went out, she heard that Tang Wan, the heroine in No. 7 who loved to have children, got married. Coincidentally, the person she married was the stupid son of the director of the Revolutionary Committee of Wangjiatun.
The man who was eighteen or nineteen years old and still asked his mother and sister-in-law for milk.
