The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 30: Because I reacted quickly?
Jiang Chuan felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of Teacher Liu, whose mouth was full of blood.

The situation was tense at the time, and he didn't have time to observe much, so he didn't know what was going on.

But that ugly monster can punch a dent in the floor tiles; if Teacher Liu gets injured, I'm afraid…

However, just as Jiang Chuan was worrying, Wu Qingqing said:

"She's fine, she's in another ward."

"The monster didn't even have a chance to hurt her."

"She just had surgery and is still sleeping."

Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's alright."

Since the two weren't familiar with each other, the conversation immediately became awkward again after it ended.

But Wu Qingqing was quite adept at social interaction; after all, she was a secretary who frequently dealt with people. She quickly spoke again:
"Are you hungry?"

"How about I treat you to a big meal?"

"Pick whatever you want to eat."

It was only after being reminded that Jiang Chuan realized his stomach was empty.

The two hit it off immediately and set off after Jiang Chuan changed his clothes.

However, Wu Qingqing chose the place to eat.

After all, Jiang Chuan rarely ate out, so he really didn't know any good places to eat.

……

……

Considering that Jiang Chuan's appetite must be quite good right now, Wu Qingqing felt that those fancy Western restaurants were not suitable for the current situation.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to take Jiang Chuan to a Chinese restaurant.

The decor is ordinary, the location isn't particularly convenient, and the prices aren't high, but the food is quite delicious.

This place is not far from Wu Qingqing's residence, and she often comes here on weekdays.

Wu Qingqing ordered several signature dishes, and the two of them sat at the table and ate.

The restaurant was quiet, as it was already afternoon, and the two of them were the only customers.

It must be said that Wu Qingqing chose a very good place, which suited Jiangchuan's taste perfectly.

He even felt that he hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time, but he was probably also very hungry.

Wu Qingqing wasn't hungry. She looked at Jiang Chuan's rice and chatted idly with him:

Weren't you afraid at the time?

Jiang Chuan: "Afraid? Of course I'm not afraid!"

"I was stunned when I went out. I saw Teacher Liu being carried away, and I was very anxious at the time."

"It got better after that... although I was a little nervous."

Wu Qingqing then remembered that she had called Jiang Chuan many times, but he had never answered.

She asked, "Did you wake up because you heard me calling you?"

"It's a good thing you woke up, otherwise your teacher... would have been in trouble."

Jiang Chuan shook his head: "No, I woke up on my own."

"My phone is vibrating, but I can't hear anything."

"Is something wrong with the teacher? Oh right, I remember his mouth was full of blood, what happened?"

Wu Qingqing was a little surprised when Jiang Chuan said that he woke up on his own.

She wanted to ask, but instead answered Jiang Chuan's question first: "She...is planning to bite off her tongue."

"Didn't I tell you before that I was going to perform surgery on her? It was to stitch up her tongue."

"If you hadn't suddenly appeared... Teacher Liu probably would have really gone and bit off her tongue."

"Fortunately, the treatment was timely; otherwise, at the very least, he would have been unable to speak due to nerve rupture."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback, then looked up: "Bite off your tongue?"

"What happened? That pervert didn't hurt the teacher?"

Wu Qingqing glanced at Jiang Chuan, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Another kind of harm."

"Teacher Liu is really tough." "Just like when she stopped me on the playground back then."

Jiang Chuan quickly understood what the other kind of harm meant.

But he still didn't understand why Teacher Liu would rather give up his life.

However, Jiang Chuan was unaware of Liu Yuyu's past life memories, and therefore could not understand her choice to die to prove her injustice under those circumstances.

Jiang Chuan sighed, "Thank goodness nothing bad happened."

Wu Qingqing then asked the question she had been wanting to ask: "You said you woke up on your own?"

"I know how soundly you sleep, how did you even wake up?"

Jiang Chuan frowned; he had suddenly realized the problem as well.

Yes, once I fall asleep, I'm completely still; it's hard to wake me without external contact, especially since it was eerily quiet on the fourth floor. That perverted monster and the teacher didn't make a sound; at least, he didn't know what was going on before he left.

He pondered the feeling of suddenly waking up and then said, "I don't know exactly how I woke up."

"But at the time, it felt a bit inexplicable..."

"I'm in a bit of a hurry."

Wu Qingqing felt somewhat helpless, and then she asked about Jiang Chuan's family situation.

Even though she already knew some of the things, having read the information...

But words and numbers ultimately lack warmth; to truly understand Jiang Chuan, one must hear more from him.

She was somewhat surprised to hear that Jiang Chuan's current source of income was playing video games, but that was all; she didn't criticize his lifestyle. She could tell that Jiang Chuan was short of money, not only for living expenses and rent, but also for tuition and other fees. From what he said, she could tell he was still saving money for university…

Jiang Chuan may seem carefree, but he doesn't actually have an easy life.

The pleasant meal quickly came to an end, and the two got into the car. Wu Qingqing planned to take Jiang Chuan home.

On the way back to Jiang Chuan, Wu Qingqing didn't forget the important matter Xu Chenggong had entrusted to her:

"Jiang Chuan, the organization is also planning to give you a reward."

"However, the details of this reward have not yet been determined."

She paused slightly before adding:

"Moreover, what happens in the hospital must be kept strictly confidential, including what you heard from Team Leader Li yesterday."

"Don't tell anyone anything that involves the organization."

Jiang Chuan knew that the "Team Leader Li" she was referring to was probably Li Yu, but he quickly smiled and asked, "Isn't it the Public Security Bureau?"

"How did it become an institution?"

Wu Qingqing did not respond to the sarcasm, but instead said:

"We had already compiled the details of this incident and sent them to our headquarters in Yanjing by noon."

"Team Leader Li promised to come when you were recruited, so he should be here soon."

“You may soon become one of us, and then you won’t have to worry about anything anymore.”

This was certainly enough to excite Jiang Chuan, but he didn't show it on his face, concealing it very well.

After all... this was originally Jiang Chuan's goal.

Going to school? Going to higher education? In the end, isn't it all for a good job?

At this point, the tedious steps can be skipped, and the desired result can be achieved in one step, which is exactly the effect Jiang Chuan wanted to achieve.

Moreover, Li Yu's words about "a bright future" were still lingering in Jiang Chuan's mind.

Wu Qingqing drove without looking to the side, failing to notice the light in Jiang Chuan's eyes.

But she immediately added:
"By the way, there's one more thing."

Wu Qingqing asked with a puzzled look in her eyes and a curious tone:
"Jiang Chuan, how did you manage to dodge that freak's attack?"

"At the time, I thought you were dead."

"We were all surprised to see you dodge."

Jiang Chuan rubbed his sore arms, shook his head, and said:

"It's probably because I have a fast reaction time."
