Chapter 72 If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold
"What do you think? Should we still go in and see Zhang Jingjing?"
Wen Zhunian asked the question that everyone was concerned about.
"It's fine to look, but just don't talk to her," Yue Zheng Fengye replied.
Despite saying that, no one set off first.
Finally, Zhao Hu couldn't stand it any longer. After all, he, Qin Cang, and Li Na had to pay their respects to the old general later, and there was really no time to waste.
Let's all go together.
Although Zhao Hu said that, he walked in front.
"Squeak—creak—"
The door was gently pushed open by Zhao Hu, and the scene was different from what everyone had imagined—Zhang Jingjing's utter madness.
Inside the house, Zhang Jingjing was sitting properly at the table in the main hall.
Although it was still Zhang Jingjing's face, everyone could feel that the person in front of them had a completely different temperament from Zhang Jingjing herself.
Upon seeing people enter, she politely bowed to everyone.
"I am deeply sorry that I have failed to greet you properly, esteemed elders. I should have gone to pay my respects in person, but I am feeling unwell today, so I have not been able to go. I hope you will forgive me."
Seeing that no one was talking to her, the woman wasn't embarrassed. She snorted and got up on her own.
She sat back down at the table and began talking to herself, occasionally casting venomous glances at everyone.
After observing for a moment, Yue Zheng Fengye waved to everyone and then turned and left the room.
The others followed closely behind and went out.
Le Zheng Fengye shook his head and said:
"It's no use, Zhang Jingjing is beyond saving. If she continues to work with us, we'll just have to be on guard."
Having seen everything he needed to see, Chen Ximing urged, "..."
"Let's all take a look at Liu Jia. Her situation seems a bit different from Zhang Jingjing's."
Just as everyone stepped out of the courtyard, Zhao Hu suddenly spoke.
"Gentlemen, you may go ahead. The three of us must now pay our respects to the master."
"Then you should go quickly. If you find anything, we can talk about it next time we meet," Chen Ximing said.
Zhao Hu and his two companions parted ways with the others. Before leaving, Zhao Hu's gaze lingered on Le Zheng Fengye's face for a moment.
After Yue Zheng Fengye nodded slightly to him, Zhao Hu left with peace of mind.
In the boudoir of the southeast.
The two houses faced each other, and the group entered the house located on the left side of the courtyard.
Unlike Zhang Jingjing, Liu Jia was sometimes lucid and sometimes looked like a completely different person.
Out of caution, Yue Zheng Fengye also reminded everyone not to speak to her yet.
After observing for a moment, the group left the house at Yue Zheng Fengye's signal.
"Miss Chen, Liu Jia still has some self-awareness, but if things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before she's replaced," said Le Zheng Fengye.
"Then what do you think we should do?" Chen Ximing asked.
"That depends on what everyone thinks," said Yue Zhengfengye.
After he finished speaking, the scene became unusually quiet, and everyone's expressions were not very good.
The others aren't stupid either; there's a scapegoat right here in the open.
If Liu Jia is saved, then who knows who will be next to die? Nobody wants to be the next one to die.
Whether to save or not, no one wants to be the first to speak out and become the one to stick their neck out.
"If there's a chance to save her, why don't we give it a try?"
A voice rang out from the crowd; it was Su Zixu.
But as soon as he finished speaking, he was met with opposition from Su Wang.
"I disagree. If we don't save her, only her life will be at risk. If we do save her, we might lose more lives."
As if they had found a pillar of support, Wen Zhunian and Ruan Jiaojiao also stood up and echoed.
"I think I'll pass. I don't understand these things, so I won't cause any trouble."
"Me too."
Seeing that most people did not support saving Liu Jia, Le Zheng Feng Ye simply said:
"Those who agree to save her, let's discuss it here first. There's nothing more to see here, so everyone can leave now."
After saying that, Su Wang walked out of the courtyard on his own. Wen Zhunian and Ruan Jiaojiao followed him without looking up.
Li Zheng was not involved at all; in just one day, he was left all alone in his backyard in Northeast China.
He was currently in dire straits himself, so naturally he didn't respond to Su Zixu's words.
After the four people left, the remaining people all looked at Chen Ximing.
Her expression was conflicted; after hesitating for a moment, she said:
"Senior Liu Ye, please come inside and talk. I don't understand anything about what you're talking about, so don't make things worse."
But if you need me, you can call me anytime, and I'll follow your instructions.
Upon hearing this, the others said nothing more.
Le Zheng Fengye did not insist. After giving Chen Ximing a few instructions, he led the others into the room on the right.
Inside the room, Yue Zheng Fengye looked at Jian Yu standing to the side and asked with a smile, "Miss Jian, why did you get involved in this mess?"
Jianyu replied:
"If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. Besides, this is only the first day. We don't know how many days this will last. Every single person is precious."
"Isn't Miss Jianyu afraid that if she saves her, she'll be next?" Su Zixu asked.
Jian Yu turned her head and looked at Su Zixu, saying:
"Would she have survived if she had been afraid? Even if we hadn't saved her, who says she'd be the one to die today or tomorrow?"
"It seems that Miss Jianyu is also a person with a broad perspective," Su Zixu said with a smile.
"We need to discuss this quickly and get back before 7 o'clock."
Lin Tian looked at the incense burner on the main table and urged.
There was less than half an hour left before lunchtime.
