Chapter 436 -436: The New Life Plan
Lu Jingzhi pinched the bridge of his nose. Could this be too far-fetched…
But besides this answer, was there any other reasonable explanation?
He had never thought in this direction before, but now that the idea had appeared in his mind,
Jingzhi’s thoughts just couldn’t be stopped.
He thought about how, because of Qiao Yun, Pei Ya gave the project to their family.
And the little mountain village that couldn’t be found no matter how hard they looked.
When Qin Huan was arrested, and they accompanied his sister to the police station, the respectful attitude of those people.
And his sister’s grandfather, Qiao An… wait, Jingzhi remembered, his sister’s grandfather’s real name seemed to be…
Qiao Ansheng!
Lu Jingzhi’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his heart started pounding violently.
The founder of Shengyang High School was also named Qiao Ansheng!
His mother had once joked with him that Qiaoqiao’s grandfather shared the same name with the founder of Shengyang High School, and that it would be great if the founder was actually Qiaoqiao’s grandfather, so that Qiaoqiao wouldn’t have to suffer.
When his sister came back, she insisted on going to Shengyang High School. He had thought she was just being stubborn at the time, what had his sister said then?
She said she was more familiar with Shengyang High School.
The more Jingzhi guessed, the more horrified he became.
His sister was still so young, she was only eighteen, how could it be possible?
He had always thought that they could be the shield for his sister, but it turned out that it was his sister who was their shield.
Lu Jingzhi’s body stiffened.
He found it hard to accept this truth.
After a moment of thought, he stepped forward, catching up to Doctor Qiao Se, to get an accurate answer for his conjecture.
…
“Doctor Qiao.”
Qiao Se, seeing the person hurrying over and assuming Lu Zhanxing’s condition had taken a turn, became anxious, “Has something happened to the patient?”
“No, I just wanted to thank you,” said Jingzhi sincerely. “Although you may not need it, I still want to say that if there’s ever a time when you could use the help of the Lu Family, we will definitely not refuse.”
Qiao Se waved his hand: “I am a doctor, saving lives is my responsibility.”
Jingzhi mulled over his words internally for a moment and then spoke up: “Besides that, I also want to thank you for taking care of my sister.”
“Of course, Xiaoqiao is someone we watched grow up, and we can’t care for her enough,” Qiao Se replied without much thought, assuming that they knew he had been called over by Qiao Yun.
Jingzhi’s breath hitched sharply.
So it really was his sister who had helped them…
His voice strained, he said, “My sister must have had a hard time before, she’s still so young.”
“It’s not exactly hard, Xiaoqiao loves to research things the most,” Qiao Se said reminiscing, a tender look in his eyes.
Jingzhi swallowed, his throat dry, and the hand behind his back clenched tightly.
His sister was indeed Professor Qiao.
It was her who had saved this family time and again…
Thinking of how he had previously treated his sister, Jingzhi suddenly felt unsure how to face her.
Could he really make up for it?
For the first time, he seriously doubted whether he still had the right to be Qiao Yun’s big brother.

Because Lu Zhanxing was still under observation, Qiao Yun could only stand outside, looking at the person covered in medical equipment through the glass window.
The once spirited man now looked gaunt and exhausted.
With his eyes closed and a peaceful expression, if it weren’t for the fluctuating heartbeat on the monitors, Qiao Yun wouldn’t dare to confirm that Lu Zhanxing was still alive.
Li Hanzhou watched her, silent, also finding it difficult to determine what exactly she was thinking.
“Qiaoqiao,” Qiao Xun approached.
Qiao Yun turned to look at him, “Uncle.”
Qiao Xun emphasized, “Call me brother.”
He was only 27 years old and did not want to be an uncle yet.
Qiao Yun uttered an “oh,” her voice faint, “Uncle.”
Xun thought to himself how her personality still tended to take things literally, but now was not the time to get hung up on that. He asked Qiao Yun with a grave tone.
“Do you want to save him?”
“Uh-huh.” Qiao Yun didn’t even need to think to agree.
Her second brother had been very good to her; she did not want to see him come to any harm.
Upon hearing the answer, Qiao Xun’s tone became even more grave, “Apart from finding Z, you are the only one who can save him now.”
Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids, confusion filling her eyes, “I don’t know how to save him.”
Qiao Xun explained, “You can use the New Life plan.”
“No!” Qiao Yun rejected the idea without a second thought, her brows trembling slightly, “You can’t, it will lead to death.”
Li Hanzhou’s eyebrows lifted slightly. It seemed the reason behind Qiao Yun’s emotional fluctuations was not only due to Lu Zhanxing, but also this so-called New Life plan.
“The only thing that can save him now is the New Life plan.”
Qiao Yun turned her head to look at Lu Zhanxing, who was utterly lifeless, “Grandfather died, I couldn’t save him, and I don’t want to see another family member die by my hand.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Xun seemed to suffer greatly as he cast his eyes down, “Your great-uncle’s death had nothing to do with you, he was already at his limit.”
Qiao Yun pursed her lips and said nothing.
Li Hanzhou abruptly lowered his gaze to Qiao Yun.
So that’s how it was…
Qiao Yun had tried to save her grandfather using the New Life plan but ultimately failed to revive him.
That’s why she was experiencing such strong emotional turbulence over this incident with Lu Zhanxing.
Perhaps Qiao Yun herself hadn’t realized, but this incident had become an untouchable psychological barrier for her.
The reason she had never fully accepted the Lu family was because she was afraid, afraid of being abandoned again.
Li Hanzhou felt sympathy for Qiao Yun and also wanted to help her overcome this psychological barrier. He lowered his head with a seriousness he’d never shown before, “Kid, do you trust me?”
“I do.” Qiao Yun didn’t even ask what she was trusting him with before she responded.
“Then leave it to me,” Li Hanzhou said, “I will help you, don’t be afraid.”
Qiao Xun knew Li Hanzhou and seeing how close he was with Qiao Yun, his brow furrowed slightly, “Old Li, how can you help her?”
Li Hanzhou looked at Qiao Xun with a casual demeanor, speaking unhurriedly, “You’ve been looking for Z, no need to search anymore.”
Qiao Xun was stunned for a moment before he realized, looking at Li Hanzhou with an incredulous expression.
“Are you joking?”
Li Hanzhou smiled faintly, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it; if the kid says I am, then I am.”
Before Xun could speak, Qiao Yun, without a second thought, asked him, “So, can you save him?”
“I can’t,” Li Hanzhou watched Qiao Yun, a faint smile in his eyes, “but together, you and I can. Don’t worry, it will be successful this time; you can save him.”
Qiao Yun thought, can I?
Li Hanzhou spoke in a soothing tone, “Your grandfather’s situation is different from Lu Zhanxing’s. Trust me.”
Qiao Yun fell silent.
The New Life plan was a bold idea. After her grandfather fell ill, she had been researching, trying to find a way to make him ‘come back to life.’
She thought she had succeeded, but reality told her that she had failed.
She could initiate the New Life plan to try to save Lu Zhanxing.
But what if it fails? What would happen to Lu Zhanxing?
Would he die?
For the first time, Qiao Yun lacked confidence, and for the first time, she found it so difficult to make a decision.
