A group of people went out again, leaving only An Feng and Wen Jing.

Old Master An looked at An Feng unhappily, "What are you still doing here?"

An Feng had no choice but to give up and went out with a worried look on his face.

There were only two of them left in the room.

Old Master An pointed to the stool in front of the bed and said, "Sit down, let's talk."

Wen Jing sat down as she was told.

Old Master An looked at her like this and sighed, "Do you blame me?"

Wen Jing raised an eyebrow, "Why do you blame me?"

"You haven't married or dated in these years. Aren't you just blaming me for forcing you to express your opinion?"

Wen Jing was surprised that he would ask this question, "This is not the reason why I don't want to get married or find a partner."

Old Master An was very surprised, "Why is that?"

"I've been through a bad marriage, so I no longer have expectations for marriage. I prefer to have expectations for myself."

Curiosity flashed in Old Master An's eyes, "So you've never been attracted to him?"

Wen Jing smiled gently, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, "I have been attracted to several people, but... it was only for a moment. I can't risk my whole life for a moment of attraction."

Old Master An also laughed, with a hint of relief in his laughter and admiration in his eyes, "You are quite open-minded."

"What are your plans for the future? Are you going to be a pilot for the rest of your life?"

Wen Jing's eyes flashed with reluctance, but she still said stubbornly: "It's good to be a pilot for life. It's free and easy."

Old Master An saw her helplessness and said, "That's not like you. You have more ambitions than just this."

Wen Jing sighed, "Being a pilot, other than being promoted in rank, there is only so much room for advancement. I applied for astronauts before, and even though I met all the requirements and was even better than everyone else, they just didn't want me to go, and they didn't give me a reason. To put it bluntly, they just disliked me because I'm a woman. I want to work hard, but I have no direction to work hard. Otherwise, why would I study for a doctorate?"

Old Master An consoled him, "This is how society is now. Whether it's in the officialdom, business, or battlefield, girls are looked down upon. I used to feel sorry for you. If you were a man, that brat wouldn't have any business."

Wen Jing waved her hands and said self-deprecatingly: "Fortunately I am a woman, it is easy for me to play the pig and eat the tiger."

"Hahahaha." Old Master An laughed out loud at her teasing. "Yeah, you ate that big tiger."

The atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious.

Old Master An stretched out his hand with a slightly trembling hand and pointed at the file bag on the table, motioning for her to open it.

Wen Jing took it and opened it, and her originally relaxed expression changed instantly.

Inside are the files on Lin Youyi's case.

It clearly states the cause of Lin Youyi's death, He Jianguo's own motive for the crime, and the actions of the Fang family.

The investigation was clear.

"You do have this file."

Wen Jing tightly grasped the file, her knuckles turning pale from the force, and her tone was filled with suppressed anger, "In other words... you are tacitly agreeing with this? And you know all the efforts Lin Zhen has made?"

Old Master An nodded slightly, with a complicated look in his eyes. "That girl is very similar to you, but she was too impulsive and revealed her cards without checking the man's background. If she hadn't been so impulsive, the Fang family might have collapsed long ago."

"I agree that the Fang family's actions are actually an attempt to hold something against them."

"People are like this. Unless there is a knife hanging over their heads, they will always stay in their comfort zone, eating and waiting to die."

Wen Jing raised a mocking smile, her voice full of cold sarcasm, "That sounds nice, but you were the one who forced the Fang family compound to pay a huge sum of money to redeem it in the beginning, isn't that right?"

Old Master An closed his eyes tiredly, and the action of shaking his head seemed to have exceeded his physical limit.

"I know you are resentful that I was responsible for the tragedy of the Lin family. You may not know that I went to see Lin Youyi on purpose. I told him clearly that Zhao Huairen was corrupt and asked him to step down and avoid being killed. However, he said he would give Zhao Huairen a chance, and then the tragedy happened."

“Sometimes people can’t be too kind. Evil people will only use kindness as a knife to stab your chest.”

Wen Jing was stunned, and instantly remembered that Zhao Huairen wrote in the letter that Lin Youyi gave him a chance.

As a result, Zhao Huairen took advantage of this opportunity to kill him.

Wen Jing suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with tears, "Hahahaha, I finally understand why she left before she had her revenge."

Old Master An instantly understood who the 'she' she was talking about was.

No wonder there is a Taoist priest beside her.

"Since you are not Lin Zhen, then who are you?"

Wen Jing did not answer this question, but asked: "Do you feel guilty towards Lin Zhen?"

Old Master An blinked his eyelids gently, a trace of guilt flickered in his old eyes, "I admit that it was my fault in the matter of Lin Zhen. I suppressed this matter purely because Feng'er has not grown up yet, but I don't regret doing this. Since the Fang family is going to perish, let them perish in a more worthy way."

"The country needs a leader who is dedicated to the people and has climbed to a high position through numerous achievements."

Wen Jing's mouth was pursed into a thin line, her heart was in turmoil, and the silence seemed to condense into a thick fog.

a long time.

Her voice was weak. "Since she has let go of all this, why should I resent you? I just can't accept it."

A trace of vicissitudes flashed in Old Master An's eyes. "Living in this era, there are too many things that are beyond one's control."

Wen Jing was silent again.

If Lin Zhen had had more choices at the beginning, why would she have ended up in such a situation?

Old Master An's eyelids drooped, and he took a deep breath to cheer himself up. "Let me guess, you are from the future, right?"

Wen Jing pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Then can you tell me what the world of the future will be like? I beg you." Old Master An's eyes were hot and bright, filled with endless yearning for the future.

Wen Jing looked at the eagerness in his eyes, sighed, and chatted with him about many things.

We discussed all aspects of the country's future development, science and technology, people's livelihood, and international status.

“Will it really be so prosperous?”

"Will do."

Old Master An's eyes were surprisingly bright, "Then I feel relieved."

"I have to remind you of something."

"what's up?"

"Men like to conquer. If they can't get what they want, they will be obsessed with it. Sometimes, the obsession will turn into a demon in their heart, especially when they get power. They will use the power to conquer you. If you don't want to be conquered, then go to a height where they can't shake you."

"It's good for you, them, and the country." There was a hint of pleading in Old Master An's eyes.

Wen Jing was stunned and instantly understood the profound meaning of his words.

"Okay, I promise you."

Old Master An felt relieved, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he let out a long breath.

"Thank you...thank you for telling me so much." After saying this, his breathing became weak and the redness on his face gradually turned gray, but there was a deep satisfaction and calmness on his face.
