Divorce Revenge System: Knowing the Future in Advance-Chapter 965 - 694: Zhizhi: I Can Help You Deliver It... to the Grove_2

Chapter 965: Chapter 694: Zhizhi: I Can Help You Deliver It... to the Grove_2

The two of them returned to the cabin one after the other. Jiang Nian glanced at Xu Shuang and then averted his gaze.

The future of the system’s timeline showed that the trajectory had been altered and would not come true.

At the very least, any chance of a marital relationship was gone.

No worries, they can be friends.

Big Gold Master Xu has plenty of money, making him one of the best friends you could have. Having money means having power.

Is it about to collapse?

No matter. Even a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and whatever slips through his fingers would be enough for Jiang Nian to use.

A win-win situation for both of them.

Xu Shuang also sensed Jiang Nian’s gaze before he looked away. She glanced from the corner of her eye and then withdrew her gaze.

After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head again.

The next day.

Jiang Nian was woken by Zhao Yiqiu and saw Brother Shui yawning. He was crouching outside, holding an enamel mug and drinking hot water.

"Morning."

Brother Shui turned his head, glanced at this physically strong person, and thought to himself what a curious person he was. He thought he had seen it all.

"Morning, Brother Jiang."

Soon after, another friend arrived. She was a picture of youth and beauty, flashing a bright smile as she greeted Brother Shui.

Brother Shui smiled back, acknowledging her. It wasn’t until Xu Shuang had also packed and come out with a large bag that he breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself this was much more normal.

He stood up and dusted off his pants.

"Let’s go!"

Chong Mountain is located at the heart of Sen City, spanning several counties from north to south. The deeper you go, the denser the forest becomes.

The deep mountains and the scenery there have almost nothing to do with each other.

The group, led by Xu Shuang, set off from the cabin and reached their destination in less than an hour—a mountain pond.

The destination was right across the pond. On the cliff wall, which formed a steep angle, there was an abundance of green moss.

"Troublesome." Zhao Yiqiu put down the binoculars, pointing to the opposite side, "The materials are on the cliff wall above the water."

To get close to the location of the herbs, you either have to take a detour and descend from above the cliff or swim across the pond.

The pond water looks terrifying; going down would be even more terrifying.

"I’ll check the water!" Zhao Yiqiu was eager, just about to take off her jacket when Xu Shuang persuaded her not to.

"Don’t go in." Xu Shuang frowned, looking worried, "Try taking the detour, the water..."

Jiang Nian didn’t act recklessly and jump into the water to show off.

"Let’s take the detour then."

The mountain’s wild pond was lush and frankly a haven for outdoor challenges. Taking the detour would just consume some extra time.

The group reached a consensus and spent another two hours taking the detour. They finally stood at the top of the cliff again, frowning.

"That’s quite high," Jiang Nian remarked.

Zhao Yiqiu pulled out a rope, her enthusiasm reigniting, "You guys wait here, I’ll go check the route out first."

Jiang Nian didn’t oppose, noting that Daozhang is much lighter than himself. Plus, her strength—who knows where it comes from—is remarkable.

She must be a talented person from BYD.

"Haha, you can assist me from above." Zhao Yiqiu tied professional equipment around her waist, preparing to descend to gather herbs.

"Alright." He made a Korean gesture.

Xu Shuang stood to the side, her brow tightly knit. Her face showed concern as she watched, her heart in her throat.

Zhao Yiqiu noticed and reassured her.

"No need to worry, boss. He’s very strong. Even if something happens, he can pull me up."

Meanwhile, she thought to herself. This guy’s strength is extraordinary. Could he be a descendant of Xiang Yu?

What a marvel.

Zhao Yiqiu gradually descended the cliff. Jiang Nian watched from above, keeping a little distance from the cliff edge.

Xu Shuang stood beside him; Brother Shui had walked a little further away.

Jiang Nian turned his head towards the girl.

"Are you nervous?"

"Yes."

"It’ll be fine." He took out his phone and checked the time, "If Daozhang can’t do it, I’ll go down next."

Those words surprisingly brought Xu Shuang a sense of relief.

"Thank you."

No need to thank—just add more money.

Jiang Nian didn’t know how far the Xu Family had gone and had no excuse to intervene, so he could only approach it from the outskirts.

It’s urgent, truly urgent!

Let me step in!

Before long, Zhao Yiqiu was pulled up by Jiang Nian. She had an herb in her hand, which she handed to Xu Shuang.

"Here you go, boss." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Jiang Nian leaned in for a look: eight leaves, six petals, with two fruits hanging from the center of the flower.

The flower was vividly red, from root to fruit.

Vermilion Fruit.

"Are there more below?"

"Yes." Zhao Yiqiu sighed, "Unfortunately, my arm isn’t long enough. I’ll use tools and go down again."

"Why don’t I go down instead?" Jiang Nian suggested, "Gather them all at once, save some time."

Hearing this, Xu Shuang almost instinctively said.

"No."

Only after the words left her mouth did she realize she had misspoken. It wasn’t for any reason other than hearing Jiang Nian was about to leave.

She felt a little uneasy inside.

"I’m just afraid... Qiuqiu can’t pull you up, even with..."

Zhao Yiqiu tilted her head, indicating with her arms.

"I can do it, boss."

"Uh... I trust her." Jiang Nian said, "I’m not heavy, and she’s very strong and can lift a pig."

"Right!"

Xu Shuang: "...."

What else could be said? She had to nod.

So, they excitedly swapped positions, with Jiang Nian preparing to descend this time and Zhao Yiqiu holding the rope.

Suddenly, Xu Shuang lent a hand.

Zhao Yiqiu: "???"

She was puzzled for a moment but quickly realized something. So, she kept her focus diligently and waited seriously.

Jiang Nian went down for a look, finding not that many Vermilion Fruits. He gathered some more and tugged on the rope to be pulled up.

Thanks to Tingzi, he had little fear of water.

Speaking of which, he wondered what the people from his class were up to. He figured they should still be reviewing test papers.

...

Zhenan Middle School, small self-study session in the afternoon.

Zhang Ningzhi sneakily glanced around. After making sure it was safe, she looked at the phone on her desk.

Still no reply, and she couldn’t help feeling a wave of disappointment.

Suddenly, a new message popped up.

Jiang Nian: "I was just driving, had a tight schedule. I’m on my way back now, will be there by evening."

Seeing this, she was taken aback for a moment, then replaced by immense joy. Her whole face lit up instantly.

"Okay, great."

"Roughly what time will you arrive?"

"Will you come to school? There are a lot of test papers at your desk. If you don’t take them home, you won’t finish them by tomorrow."

Zhang Ningzhi typed earnestly, "If you’re too tired, I can help bring them to the school gate for you."

She thought it over and then deleted the words "school gate."

"Bring them to... the little grove."

Jiang Nian: "Huh?"

Zhang Ningzhi bit her lip, gently tapping the screen with her finger, "There are security guards at the school gate; I’m afraid of being seen."

"Oh, Zhizhi, you’re such a genius."

"Indeed I am!" she laughed, her pink lips gleaming as she sent a witty emoji.

Jiang Nian: "I’ll come to the classroom."

Zhang Ningzhi: "Oh."

It’s seven-thirty.

Jiang Nian got off the car with his bag. He needed to head home first. Xu Shuang got off to see him off and sent him to the street corner.

The street was enveloped in a dim yellow as the streetlights began to illuminate.

"Let’s stop here."

Jiang Nian turned to her, under the orange streetlights. Xu Shuang was wearing a denim jacket, looking slightly fatigued.

"The alley is narrow; I can go in myself. You should head back early and get some rest."

Xu Shuang smiled at him but couldn’t hide a hint of vulnerability.

"Okay, you too."

He nodded, turning into the alley. He contemplated how he would catch up on the past three days’ homework.

At least ten sheets of test papers, truly a headache.

Suddenly, he felt his clothes being tugged by something. Perplexed, he turned back, only to find Xu Shuang.

"What’s up?"

Xu Shuang shook her head, "Thank you."

It’s alright; the money was paid.

Jiang Nian thought these three days were truly worth it. He happily earned fifty thousand, and the Gold Master was already in a money-splashing frenzy.

It’s better to give it to someone than not keep it ultimately.

As the saying goes, money talks. He flashed the warmest smile he’d ever shown in his eighteen years at Xu Shuang.

"Hmm, remember to call if you need anything."

Xu Shuang nodded, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.

"I will."

Jiang Nian left, cherishing those last three words from the Gold Master. His whole being felt jubilant; it’s all money!

He was grinning from ear to ear as if a mouse had fallen into a vat of oil.

Yum-yum indeed.
