Chapter 113 Ji Nian Returns to Jianghai

After leaving the commune, Ji Sisi returned to the herdsmen and told Shen Zichen the good news that she had bought the medicine.

But when he learned that it would take another four or five days to arrive, the smile on his face froze.

Shen Zichen looked at the cows with concern, "I hope we can hold on until the medicine comes back. These cows have not been vaccinated and have no antibodies, so the virus is taking effect very quickly."

"So, you're saying the cows in Beijing get vaccinated?"

Shen Zichen nodded without hesitation, "I've seen it with others before. The calves are all vaccinated, but we don't have that capability here, so the calf survival rate isn't high."

Ji Sisi agreed, noting that poor and backward areas lagged behind advanced cities by nearly five or six years.

Jianghai Railway Station.

Ji Nian struggled to squeeze off the train carriage, looking at everything familiar, her heart filled with mixed feelings.

She adjusted her mask, leaving only her eyes visible, and blended into the crowd as she left the platform, preparing to exit the station.

Because Ji Nian's disguise was excellent, she was able to exit the station smoothly.

Ji Nian had never met Shen Wanqing in person. The two agreed on the color of their clothes and the time to meet over the phone.

Ji Nian exited the station, her eyes quickly scanning the people at the station entrance.

Shen Wanqing waited for a long time at the train station entrance, but no one came. Her well-maintained face showed signs of impatience.

Just when she was on the verge of collapse, someone patted her on the shoulder.

Shen Wanqing turned around and met a pair of nervous and flustered eyes. Ji Nian coughed, her voice hoarse and unpleasant, "Madam Qi."

Shen Wanqing's tone was unfriendly, "How exactly do you want me to help you?"

Upon hearing her voice, Ji Nian's heart trembled. In her past life, this voice was like a demon, mercilessly pushing her into the abyss.

She was terrified just listening to her on the phone, and now that she was seeing her in person and hearing her voice up close, a deep hatred welled up in Ji Nian's heart.

Ji Nian thought her mother-in-law should be an old woman, after all, Shen Wanqing had a way of humiliating people, and her face didn't match her appearance at all.

Ji Nian's throat hadn't fully recovered, and with the long journey ahead, she hadn't had a proper drink of water in a long time in order to save time.

She opened the notebook, and there it was written.

"I need to go back to the guesthouse first."

Shen Wanqing knew that Ji Nian wouldn't give in so easily, so she had no choice but to agree to her request.

"Okay, but if you arrive at the guesthouse and still haven't told me where my daughter is, I will not hesitate to report you to the police and accuse you of abduction."

Ji Nian had already given up all hope; this was her last chance to turn things around. If she couldn't use Shen Wan to clear her name of her crimes, kidnapping would be a lighter offense than murder.

Ji Nian did not answer Shen Wanqing, and no matter how the woman mocked her, she pretended not to hear it.

Shen Wanqing only realized she had been tricked when she arrived in Jianghai. Ji Nian had a trick up his sleeve, deliberately giving her a little sweetness to lure her in.

In order to find her lost daughter, Shen Wanqing accepted the situation.

Ji Nian followed Shen Wanqing to the guesthouse.

Ji Nian had already written down what she wanted to say in her notebook. She casually tossed the notebook to Shen Wanqing. It contained the whole story of how she was harassed and how she accidentally killed someone.

Finally, there were my own requirements, and a photo of Qi Yan.

When Shen Wanqing saw the instructions, she resisted the urge to tear the paper and read to the end. The moment she saw her daughter's photo, tears welled up in her eyes, and she tore off the photo and carefully held it to her chest.

This is her Yan Yan, whose youthful face is exactly the same as hers when she was young. Shen Wanqing broke down emotionally.

Ji Nian sat in the chair, her face indifferent.

Thank God, before she left Jianghai, she remembered what had happened in her previous life.

Six months after Qi Yan's death, Shen Wanqing found her biological daughter, who happened to be in Ji Nian's hometown of Jianghai. When Zhang Zhifeng called, Ji Nian asked for the detailed address.

So in this life, when she left, she made a special trip to the county where Qi Yan lived, deliberately approached Qi Yan, and obtained her photo.

The goal was to one day gain control over Shen Wanqing and get someone to help her. Ji Nian yawned to distract Shen Wanqing.

How did you find out about Yan Yan?

Shen Wanqing stood up, her eyes bloodshot, grabbed Ji Nian's shoulders, and loudly questioned him without regard for her image.

Ji Nian met Shen Wanqing's angry eyes, but her heart remained unmoved.

Ji Nian broke free, retrieved her notebook, and skillfully took out a pen to write on it, "Your daughter-in-law, Ji Sisi, told me this. Coincidentally, I have a friend who fits this description."
I thought I'd try my luck, and it really is your daughter, Mrs. Qi. After you help me, I'll tell you where your daughter is.

Upon seeing the words "daughter-in-law," anger took over. After taking a deep breath to calm down, Shen Wanqing became much more rational.

"What you want is simply impossible. If you had a chance to fight for it at the first moment of the incident, you are now a fugitive, which is an even greater crime."

I'll introduce you to the best lawyer in the capital. With his help, your situation won't be too bad.

Ji Nian persisted, "What do you mean by the worst? I want to hear the best-case scenario!"

"Ten years, the best-case scenario is ten years."

Ji Nianxin felt utterly hopeless. Ten years—the best years of her life—would she waste in prison?

It wasn't her fault at all; it was all Ji Sisi's doing. Why should she have to bear the consequences?
Seeing that Ji Nian did not react, Shen Wanqing spoke sharply and took the initiative.

"If you tell me Yan Yan's whereabouts now, I'll help you hire a lawyer, and I'll cover all the costs."

I will also give you some money as a token of my gratitude after you are released from prison.

"But if you refuse to listen to reason and insist on making me do something illegal or unethical, I will report you to the police right now."

At the same time, I am very grateful that you told me my daughter was in Jianghai. Previously, my search had been limited to the entire China region.

Now that you've narrowed down the search, finding someone in Jianghai shouldn't be difficult for me, Miss Ji. I advise you to carefully consider my suggestion.

Even Shen Wanqing, who works in the court and has extensive experience, said so, making Ji Nian feel that her future had become bleak.

She didn't understand why, even though God had given her a second chance, this life was even more difficult than her previous one.

Ji Nian nodded in agreement under Shen Wanqing's gaze.

Rather than being a fugitive for life, she would rather serve ten years in prison, knowing that as long as she's alive, she can always find a way to survive.

Shen Wanqing agreed and promised Ji Nian that she would call her lawyer friend that afternoon and ask him to come from the capital to defend Ji Nian.

Jianghai is neither a large nor a small place, so finding someone there is quite difficult; it could take anywhere from a month to half a year.

Having seen her daughter's photos, Shen Wanqing was no longer willing to wait that long.

Ji Nian's case could be resolved in a week if things went smoothly, and at the latest in no more than half a month. Considering the circumstances, she chose to help Ji Nian.

She's willing to do anything to find Yan Yan as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Ji Nian accompanied Shen Wanqing to the post office. She waited outside while Shen Wanqing went inside to make a phone call.

Ji Nian wore her mask very tightly as she stopped at a newsstand.

"Hey girl, what would you like to buy?"

Ji Nian picked out a copy of the Jianghai Daily, paid for it, and wrote a line in his notebook.

"I just got back from out of town, and my older sister told me that a murderer has fled here?"

The woman looked at Ji Nian suspiciously, thinking there was something wrong with her.

Ji Nian had no choice but to explain, "I injured my throat when I was a child, so I can only communicate by writing."

The woman compared the characteristics and realized that the woman who committed the murder was not mute.

So, without thinking, he told Ji Nian about what had happened in Jianghai recently.

"That's right. A while ago, a woman killed someone and fled. Later, after a forensic investigation, it was found that the person died of a cerebral infarction..."
