With that figured out, I wasn't as tired anymore. I took a taxi from the hotel directly to the hospital to see Teacher Wang Ren. Teacher Wang Ren smiled faintly when he saw me, "Not bad, you're the one who understood first."
"Uncle-master, was this your scheme?"
"No!"
"My comprehensive analysis made you laugh, it wasn't like that at all, was it?"
"Actually, it was close. The comprehensive analysis was correct. Tang Nan, you've improved a lot. But you didn't know one fact, which caused you to take a detour."
"Chen Ling is fake?"
"Yes, Chen Ling is fake, but Sister Ling is not. More than a month ago, the anti-drug squad arrested Sister Ling. Sister Ling confessed that the reason she was so elusive was because of a mastermind's help, and this mastermind was 'The Heart Eater'?"
"Sister Ling doesn't know 'The Heart Eater'?"
"'Southern Faction' prepared to use the drug lord's power for a more important plan. 'The Heart Eater' also accepted a mission, which led him to contact drug lord Sister Ling. Therefore, Sister Ling and 'The Heart Eater' didn't know each other. To catch this 'The Heart Eater', my son set a trap."
In Jiang Keyang's scheme, Sister Ling became the fake Chen Ling and was given a tragic backstory. The fake Chen Ling used this story to contact 'The Heart Eater'. Because 'The Heart Eater' had a mission to deal with me, 'The Heart Eater' agreed to the fake Chen Ling's request to deal with Jiang Keyang.
According to the plan, the fake Chen Ling found Liu Ran, and the plan to deal with Jiang Keyang began. Liu Ran got involved with Guo Jing. Jiang Keyang knew about this, but he didn't change his plan despite being cuckolded.
It was only recently that things went wrong. Jiang Keyang went to the Bai Xue club to fool around. The fake Chen Ling appeared as planned, and they waited together for 'The Heart Eater' to show up. However, 'The Heart Eater' didn't appear, but Jiang Keyang waited for me instead. I also pressured the fake Chen Ling to go to me. After much deliberation, Jiang Keyang sent the fake Chen Ling to me and told me the artfully embellished love story.
I looked at Teacher Wang Ren and asked seriously, "You knew about Ke Yingying's matter too, right? He deliberately led me there."
"Yes, this Ke Yingying is difficult to deal with. I received a tip-off long ago that he was going to deal with you. But he was right under my nose, and I couldn't find any handle on him. When we were in Xi'an, Lu Yao had actually pushed you into a corner. At that time, if Ke Yingying had kicked you while you were down, I could have proven he was the one harming you and arrested him. But Ke Yingying didn't do that; instead, he saved you. Of course, he had other arrangements, sending Ye Qingcheng to kill you in Sichuan. You lived up to expectations and saw through Ke Yingying's scheme. I asked you then how you wanted to deal with Ke Yingying, and you said that betrayal is common and has happened countless times. You thought Ke Yingying would betray 'Southern Faction' again, and your thinking was correct, but a traitor like that doesn't understand gratitude. Ke Yingying did betray the Southern Faction, but he didn't intend to repay you."
I only thought of this when Lao Tie mentioned the money. Now that Teacher Wang Ren brought it up, I looked embarrassed, "You didn't remind me either?"
"You said you had a plan?"
I did have a plan, and the enemy acted according to my plan. But this scheme had layers within layers, not to mention three schemers. These three people had their own motives, which completely confused me. These three schemers were 'Mr. Ke' Ke Yingying, Jiang Keyang, and 'The Heart Eater'.
At this, I showed a wry smile. Teacher Wang Ren, however, seemed relieved and continued to tell me about the scheme.
Jiang Keyang's scheme indeed fooled 'The Heart Eater', but it didn't fool Ke Yingying. Although Ke Yingying saw through the scheme, he didn't warn 'The Heart Eater' and instead led me into the trap. Jiang Keyang knew my capabilities and sent the fake Chen Ling to me, attempting to deter me.
Even though the fake Chen Ling failed, Jiang Keyang was in too deep to back down and had to let the plan proceed. He had the fake Chen Ling control Han Fei in the guise of Sister Ling while he went to the neighborhood he had visited before to search for clues, forcing 'The Heart Eater' to harm him. But what Jiang Keyang didn't expect was that Jiang Kexin was also implicated by me and even found Hu Xiaoyu's body in the place where 'The Heart Eater' had designed to frame him. This led to Jiang Keyang's unexpected imprisonment.
Originally, Jiang Keyang knew that 'The Heart Eater' would frame him, and he could follow the clues to find out 'The Heart Eater''s identity. But unexpectedly, I became the one who disrupted the plan. Jiang Keyang was arrested, and 'The Heart Eater' remained at large.
"Jiang Keyang didn't know Hu Xiaoyu was dead?"
"He didn't. None of us knew the deceased was Hu Xiaoyu. With my daughter heartbroken and my son in prison, my old heart began to have insufficient blood supply."
"Were you angered by it?"
Wang Ren laughed heartily, "I'm tired."
"That's not what I heard?"
"In love, the effort needs no recognition. That's right, my son Jiang Keyang has a controlling criminal personality, but he never controlled Chen Ling. Chen Ling's imprisonment greatly affected my son. Later, my husband's colleague arranged for him to go on a blind date with Guo Jing. Guo Jing's father wanted to leverage my husband's connections to climb higher, and Guo Jing herself was a promiscuous girl. She was pregnant before marriage, and the child wasn't even Jiang Keyang's. However, Jiang Keyang didn't care. At that time, he had already determined the grand strategy of nurturing the poison before eradicating it, and marriage was just a smokescreen."
"Jiang Keyang and Chen Ling also lived together in Beijing for a period."
"Yes, Chen Ling came, and they lived together for a while."
"You knew about this too."
Teacher Wang Ren's face was filled with pain. "I knew. Because my son has a controlling criminal personality, he was quite dominant in his personal life. Chen Ling felt that Jiang Keyang was controlling her and didn't want her to enter politics. So, Chen Ling broke up with him and returned to her hometown."
"Chen Ling didn't say it that way?"
"Chen Ling didn't know. After she was caught by Brother Hu, Jiang Keyang used a tool person to save her. That tool person seemed to be called Zhou Hang, a habitual thief that Chen Ling's father couldn't catch back then. Chen Ling survived the disaster, and her spirit underwent a transformation. She changed her appearance and started her own life."
I was dumbfounded, looking at Teacher Wang Ren, "You really know everything."
"For my son, I'm willing to do more. I believe that in the grand strategy of nurturing the poison before eradicating it, Jiang Keyang has paid too much. I wanted to help him and also try to give him a perfect love experience, but he and Chen Ling were not fated. It was one-sided effort. I observed for a long time and finally decided not to force things."
"Was it because of this reason that Jiang Keyang argued with you?"
"No."
"Then what was the reason?"
