Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

After returning to Luzon, Jiang Xinxin felt that the beautiful scenery was so comfortable and cozy. She had no idea how hard Heiyanjing'er's life was in the rain forest outside the Queen Mother of the West Palace. Even though she still remembered the two giant pythons, one blue and one gold, and the piles of pheasant necks in the rain forest, as well as the mother snakes that had lived in the underground sewers of the Queen Mother of the West Palace for thousands of years, and she prepared enough snake repellent and detoxification drugs for Heiyanjing'er, she could not protect herself from the sinister human heart.

But to the Zhang family, Zhang Qishan was actually the same kind of person as the Wang family. He hated the Zhang family for driving his father's lineage out of the Zhang family, causing his father to die tragically at the hands of the Wang family. So when he arrived in Changsha and gained a certain amount of power, he bewitched a bunch of Zhang family members who were very dissatisfied with their current situation to work for him.

It was at that time that Zhang Rishan was taken in by Zhang Qishan. At the same time, it was also at that time that Zhang Qishan learned that the Zhang family had made a big move. However, he did not know that the Zhang family had disbanded on the spot at that time, and the Zhang family fell apart from then on.

Fortunately, Zhang Rishan was a tight-lipped man. Even though he had realized that Jiang Jiuri and Jiang Xiaoguan might be members of the Zhang family when they were in Changsha, he did not tell Zhang Qishan about this news. Now that Jiang Xinxin and the other two had different identities and statuses, even though Zhang Rishan was sure that Jiang Xiaoguan and Jiang Jiuri were real members of the Zhang family, he did not dare to say it out loud.

On the Luzon side, Zhang Haike and Zhang Haixing, brother and sister, brought the results of their investigation on Zhang Qishan to Jiang Xinxin with worried faces. Jiang Xinxin knew from their expressions that Zhang Qishan must have done something bad and anti-human behind the scenes. She was too lazy to look and just asked, "So the human experiments conducted by the Wang family must have been instigated by Zhang Qishan, right?"

Zhang Haike had no attachment to the Zhang family. In fact, he just couldn't stand the fact that Zhang Qishan colluded with outsiders to harm his own family members, and also framed the Zhang family members who were not on good terms with him, and let the Wang family conduct human experiments on those people.

When Jiang Xinxin asked him this question, he answered honestly, "I can't stand any behavior of using people for experiments, and I can't stand Zhang Qishan's behavior of specifically catching the Zhang family to harm them!"

"You don't know that during the archaeological operation of the Zhang Family Ancient Tower, he searched for Zhang Qiling across the country and found a suitable descendant of the Qilin bloodline. He created the head of the Zhang family just to explore the secret of immortality in the Zhang Family Ancient Tower."

Zhang Haixing had no good feelings towards Zhang Qishan, and she did not believe the claim in the data that Zhang Qishan was pursuing immortality for his wife Yin Xinyue. She said directly, "Xinxin, Zhang Qishan is too ambitious. Maybe in two years Yin Xinyue will not be able to live with him anymore. We should cut off all contact with him."

Zhang Haixing herself was an ambitious person. She could only admire Zhang Qishan, who was equally ambitious, and at most had a desire to compete with him. However, she could only hate Zhang Qishan for choosing to collude with the Wang family and use his own people for human experiments at all costs.

"Zhang Qishan hid himself so well that even the old fox Jie Jiu couldn't see his true face. He still thinks that Zhang Qishan is a friend of life and death. If we hadn't deliberately looked for clues based on the answers, we probably wouldn't have known that Zhang Qishan had actually found out the core of the Wang family and had been using the Wang family to deal with the Zhang family in order to achieve his own ulterior motives."

Jiang Jiuri curled his lips and agreed, "At first, we didn't think Zhang Qishan would pursue immortality. After all, for the Zhang family, longevity is easy to obtain. In the eyes of outsiders, we are already immortal, so there is no need to bother pursuing it."

"But we didn't expect that Zhang Qishan's desire for power was so strong that it would drive him to pursue immortality. He even has Yin Xinyue as a perfect cover!"

Yin Xinyue followed Zhang Qishan to Changsha from Beijing without any name or status. That was a courageous act of desperation. Moreover, at that time, Yin Xinyue represented not only herself, but also the entire Yin family, because at that time, Mr. Yin intended to train his daughter Yin Xinyue as the successor.

But although Yin Xinyue did not choose the wrong person, times have changed. Zhang Qishan has worked hard for decades and has really damaged his foundation. He was originally just a Qiongqi, and his lifespan was generally only about a hundred years old. Now he is lucky to be in his seventies or eighties, especially with the seemingly immortal Zhang Rishan by his side, it is no wonder that he made a mistake.

However, these are not excuses for people to forgive him for using living people for human experiments, so Jiang secretly informed all parties and tacitly distanced himself from Zhang Qishan himself.

Huo Xiangu and Huo Jinxi noticed Jiang's actions, but only Huo Xiangu went out in person to meet Jie Jiu. After that, Jie Jiu concentrated on training Jie Yuchen and never paid attention to what was happening outside again.

As for the Palace of Queen Mother of the West, Zhang Qiling led the team into the palace smoothly. They did collect a lot of experimental materials along the way and even found meteorite jade. However, he did not dare to venture into the meteorite jade himself. Instead, he secretly looted the corpse-eating pills that the Queen Mother of the West placed outside as bait. Black Glasses saw Zhang Qiling's little tricks but pretended not to see anything. After all, he was just a consultant.

However, even though Zhang Qishan was fully prepared this time and had the support of relevant departments, he still lost a lot of manpower. The losses were even greater among Chen Pi's people. However, Chen Wenjin was a smart man and had never trusted Zhang Qishan from the beginning, so the losses were all peripheral personnel who were used to step on landmines.

But Chen Wenjin didn't know that she was also targeted by Zhang Qishan, and Zhang Qishan even used her as experimental material. She did not walk out of the Queen Mother Palace intact, but was fed corpse-eating pills by Zhang Qishan and imprisoned in the Queen Mother Palace. As for the person who returned, it was a substitute prepared by Zhang Qishan long ago. He learned this method from the Wang family.

The fake Chen Wenjin did not go back to see Chen Pi, but went straight to the shipwreck tomb in the South China Sea. She also sent a secret letter to Chen Pi, saying that the power of the Wang family had not been completely wiped out, and the other party was likely to have escaped and had now infiltrated Zhang Qiling. She found that something was wrong, so she did not dare to go back for the time being, and asked Chen Pi to be careful of the people around Zhang Qiling.

Chen Pi couldn't help but spit out blood when he received the news about the fake Chen Wenjin. This daughter of his was the one he most trusted to lead the Chen family to completely cleanse themselves of corruption. He had been much more restrained in his work over the years, and would go around hiring outsiders to do the work in the fields. Otherwise, he would not have trained Chen Wenjin to take the university entrance exam and work in relevant state departments.

But now his greatest hope has been targeted. As an old man, he only cares about whether the other party can maintain his identity under the country's purge, and even lurks directly beside Zhang Qishan. The bad premonition in his heart becomes more and more obvious.
