Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 778: He Confessed His Feelings to Me
Yet just as Jiang Huai had relaxed, suddenly two people walked in from outside. One of them was Su Wan, Commander Su, in military uniform.
The other was her daughter, Gu Yan!
Jiang Huai’s pupils contracted slightly.
As Gu Yan walked over, the first person she saw in the crowd was Jiang Huai, "Jiang Huai, what are you doing here?"
"Ji Mu had an accident in the training room. A few of us classmates happened to be there at the time. We’re all very worried about him."
Although Su Wan was walking in front, she was listening to her daughter’s conversation with that Jiang Huai.
Gu Yan spoke to Jiang Huai in a very familiar tone, as if they had known each other for many years.
But how could that be possible?
How many years had passed since the establishment of Plantman Star? How long had Jiang Huai stayed on Landis Star?
Su Wan raised her head to scrutinize this Jiang Huai, who, along with everyone else, promptly saluted and said, "Hello, Commander Su."
Su Wan nodded slightly. She approached her son, Gu Yu, "What’s the situation now?"
"Ji Mu is in critical condition; the teachers are giving him first aid. The others... are very worried about Ji Mu."
"Okay, continue to stay here."
After saying that, Su Wan walked out.
Everyone was taken aback; they weren’t expecting such a high-ranking officer like Commander Su to suddenly appear here. But since she did not go in to see Ji Mu, she probably wasn’t worried about him, were they?
Jiang Huai clenched his fists slightly...
"Jiang Huai, what exactly happened? How could Ji Mu have had an accident so suddenly?"
Looking into Gu Yan’s puzzled and concerned eyes, Jiang Huai calmed down. "We were training together in the training room at the time. Ji Mu’s training pod malfunctioned. Fortunately, classmate Gu Yu discovered it in time."
Gu Yan, still feeling the aftershock, turned to ask her brother for more details.
Jiang Huai was somewhat distracted as he turned his head to look around; Commander Su had disappeared?
Where had Su Wan gone?
She remembered Xiaoyu saying that when Ji Mu’s training pod malfunctioned, he was trapped inside and couldn’t get out. Was this malfunction an accident, or was it sabotage?
At the Empire Military College’s training room, the equipment was always the most advanced from Landis, as it trains the future elite Star Warriors.
Not only was the equipment advanced, but there were also regular maintenance checks. In this regard, the responsible teachers would not be negligent or careless.
Considering the recent series of events, Su Wan felt that Ji Mu’s incident was definitely sabotage!
Xiaoyu even mentioned that when the incident occurred, a Plantman was standing by. When he rushed over, Xiaoyu immediately took action...
"Commander Su, what brings you here?" The teacher in charge of the training room immediately came forward to greet her.
"Take me to the training room where the accident occurred."
"Yes."
Su Wan walked in and saw that one of the training pods had been sealed off. She examined it carefully and noticed many scattered powders.
It was the powder from butterfly wings.
When Ji Mu struggled, his butterfly wings were exposed, and then the powder would fall off.
Su Wan looked at the teacher, "Why would there be a malfunction all of a sudden?"
"We conduct an inspection every six months, and there was no problem with this machine during the last check. The next inspection is at the end of this month, which means in the next few days," the teacher said, feeling quite helpless. A training pod malfunctioning and trapping a student inside—such an incident had never occurred before!
He asked with concern, "Commander Su Wan, how is Ji Mu doing?"
"Still in resuscitation."
Su Wan looked around and asked, "After Ji Mu’s accident, did anyone come here?"
"Aside from Gu Yu, it was just the other students who were in the training room at the time. No one else has been here, as we’ve sealed it off."
"Give me the list of those students."
"Yes, Commander Su Wan."
As Su Wan examined the training pod once more, she noticed some powdery substance on the floor on her way out, fine almost to the point of being overlooked.
She crouched down, pinched some between her fingers, and brought it to her nose to smell.
A faint scent of wood.
She felt she had smelled this scent somewhere before.
"On Xiaoyan... "
Su Wan’s gaze grew increasingly profound.
In the end, Ji Mu was saved, but sadly, due to severe mental damage, he remained in a coma.
And the content of his virtual training had been destroyed, leaving no clues.
At least, that’s how it appeared on the surface.
Su Wan ordered Ji Mu to be rushed to the medical center and stressed the importance of ensuring his safety.
After dealing with all these matters, it was well into the night. Su Wan took her son and daughter home. Once they disembarked from the flying vehicle, Su Wan asked her son, Gu Yu, to recount in detail what he had discovered.
"I first went to Ji Mu’s dormitory but didn’t find him there. The other students said he had gone to the training room. When I went there, I found Ji Mu trapped in the malfunctioning training pod. There was also another student who rushed over. He probably wanted to save Ji Mu, but I accidentally used my superpower."
Su Wan looked up, "Xiaoyu, but what you told me earlier in the training room when you found Ji Mu wasn’t the same as this."
Gu Yu paused!
He furrowed his brows, thought carefully, and suddenly blurted out, "It was Jiang Huai! After I talked to him, I changed my initial thoughts!"
Su Wan’s eyes darkened even more.
It was Jiang Huai again!
Gu Yan was a bit confused throughout the conversation. She hurriedly said, "What does this have to do with Jiang Huai? Mom, brother, who is trying to harm Ji Mu? Wasn’t Jiang Huai just there in the training room at the time?"
Looking into her daughter’s puzzled eyes, Su Wan said softly, "Xiaoyan, why have you been speaking up for Jiang Huai recently? We haven’t convicted Jiang Huai yet, and you’re already eager to speak well of him. Why is that?"
Gu Yan bit the corner of her mouth and, feeling a bit embarrassed, admitted, "I’ve always thought Jiang Huai is a nice person, and today... he confessed his feelings to me, and I said I would give him an answer tomorrow."
"Doesn’t he know you have a boyfriend?"
"I... I mentioned to him that I felt my relationship with Bai Li was having problems, then he... But Mom, I haven’t agreed to Jiang Huai’s feelings, and I definitely won’t engage in a two-timing relationship! Even if I were to be with someone else, I would have to officially end things with Bai Li first."
Looking at her daughter, Su Wan said, "Right, you should personally, alone, discuss breaking up with Bai Li. You promise me that you won’t get involved with someone else’s feelings before you’ve resolved things with Bai Li. No matter what, this is a matter of moral boundaries, and my daughter, you must not engage in two-timing!"
Seeing her mother’s strict tone for the first time, Gu Yan quickly assured, "Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t do that."
After Gu Yan went to rest, Gu Yu curiously asked, "Mom, why were you so strict with Xiaoyan all of a sudden?"
Su Wan’s gaze softened, and she said in a low voice, "There’s something off about that Jiang Huai."
