I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives
Chapter 56: Sadness
At night, the earth was covered in darkness like thick ink, and there was not a single star in the sky.
Wei Lang stayed beside Chen Jia, and the two of them sat quietly in the room, enjoying this rare quiet time.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the night sky, followed by a loud thunder that seemed to shatter the entire world.
Chen Jia was frightened by the sudden lightning strike and trembled all over, and his face turned pale in an instant.
She held Wei Lang's hand tightly, her eyes full of fear.
Wei Lang quickly embraced Chen Jia in his arms, one hand gently stroking her back as if he was soothing a frightened bird, and the other hand gently wiping away the beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. It's just a thunderstorm and it will pass soon."
Wei Lang said gently, his voice steady and powerful, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
Chen Jia leaned in Wei Lang's arms, feeling his warmth and security, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated.
However, the shock of being struck by lightning kept Chen Jia awake all night.
She lay in bed with her eyes wide open, and the terrible lightning and thunder kept appearing in her mind.
Wei Lang noticed her uneasiness, so he lay down beside her and gently held her hand.
"There will be no more danger."
"I know, but I'm still scared."
Wei Lang gently stroked her hair, then put her hand on his cheek and said, "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
Chen Jia held Wei Lang's hand tightly, as if she had grasped the most important thing in her life.
"Thank you."
Wei Lang looked at Chen Jia with a smile and gently scratched her nose with his fingers.
Their eyes met, full of love and warmth.
Wei Lang hugged Chen Jia tightly and whispered comforting words in her ears.
"Look, although this thunderstorm is scary, it will pass. Just like the difficulties in life, if we face them together, there will be nothing that we can't overcome. You can sleep peacefully."
After saying that, Wei Lang patted Chen Jia's back gently, as if coaxing a child to sleep.
As the night deepened, Chen Jia finally fell asleep with Wei Lang by her side.
Wei Lang looked at Chen Jia's sweet sleeping face, his heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
He gently covered Chen Jia with a blanket, then lay down beside her, guarding her until dawn.
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning shone into the room, Chen Jia opened her eyes.
She was deeply moved when she saw Wei Lang was still by her side.
"morning."
"Morning, did you sleep well last night?"
"With you by my side, I sleep soundly."
"That's good. No matter what happens in the future, don't be afraid. I will always be by your side."
"Ah."
After the thunderstorm at night, the air was filled with a damp smell.
Wei Lang sat in the room, talking with the personal guards he brought with him with a serious expression.
"This incident must be thoroughly investigated. Miss Chen must not be put in any danger again."
The guards nodded and responded seriously, "Master, rest assured, we will do our best to protect Miss Chen."
Just then, the door was gently pushed open and Chen Jue walked in with medicine.
There was a hint of fatigue on his face, but there was a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
"There's a clue!"
Wei Lang and Chen Jia immediately raised their heads and stared at Chen Jue.
"It was indeed planned by the people at the post station. That brother was executed, and he wanted to kill my sister in order to avenge his brother."
Chen Jue reported the results of the investigation one by one.
Chen Jia frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "I don't think it's that simple."
Wei Lang also nodded, his eyes full of doubt: "It's indeed wrong. If it was just for revenge, why did they choose to do it on a rainy night? And this lightning strike is too strange."
Chen Jue looked at the two of them, and felt that there must be something hidden behind this matter.
"Then what should we do now?"
Wei Lang stood up and paced back and forth, thinking about his next move.
"We must investigate further and not let go of any clues."
Suddenly, Wei Lang thought of something, and he said to his guards: "Go and check the armaments to see if there is anything unusual."
The guards took the order and left, while Wei Lang continued to discuss the direction of the subsequent investigation with Chen Jue and Chen Jia.
After a while, the guards came back in a hurry and reported to Wei Lang nervously: "General, we found copper and iron wires entangled in the battle robe. This seems to be another kind of lightning rod for Chiwen."
Wei Lang's expression suddenly turned gloomy. "Are you planning to use the summer thunderstorm to kill Yang Xiu and the others?"
Chen Jia and Chen Jue were also shocked by this discovery, and their faces turned very ugly.
"If this is true, then the conspiracy behind it is really huge." Chen Jue murmured to himself.
Wei Lang took a deep breath and said, "We must conduct further investigation as soon as possible to find out who is behind this."
Afterwards, Wei Lang led his personal guards to begin an in-depth investigation.
They carefully examined each battle robe, looking for more clues.
At the same time, they also began to investigate people related to the armaments, trying to find out who had tampered with the battle uniforms.
During the investigation, Wei Lang's heart was filled with doubts and worries.
He didn't know how big this conspiracy was, nor did he know who was the mastermind behind it.
However, he knew that he had to find out the truth as soon as possible to protect the safety of Chen Jia and everyone else.
Wei Lang checked his battle robe while thinking about various possibilities.
He said to his guards: "This is definitely not something that can be accomplished by one person. There must be an organization behind it. We must start from all aspects and investigate the people related to the post station, the officials related to the armaments, and other people who may be related to this matter."
The guards nodded one after another and began a more detailed investigation according to Wei Lang's instructions.
They interviewed many people and collected a lot of information.
However, as the investigation deepened, they found that the conspiracy seemed to be getting more and more complicated, involving more and more people.
During this process, Chen Jia was not idle either.
With her intelligence and talent, she analyzed various clues and provided Wei Lang with many valuable suggestions.
Chen Jia observed the shape and color of the clouds.
The clouds at this time are thick and dark gray, which is usually a sign of an approaching thunderstorm.
She also carefully observed the wind direction and speed. The changes in wind direction and the instability of wind speed also suggested the instability of the atmospheric state.
Then, Chen Jia looked up and searched for specific constellations, using their positions to determine changes in atmospheric humidity and pressure.
Based on her understanding of the geographical environment, she concluded that Xia Pi is located in a low-lying area where water vapor easily gathers. Coupled with the influence of the surrounding mountains, thunderstorms here are more frequent.
After careful analysis and speculation, she turned to Wei Lang and Chen Jue and said, "According to my observation and analysis, the atmospheric state will be extremely unstable and thunderstorms will be frequent in the next month. Xia Pi has a special geographical environment and is more susceptible to thunderstorms. We must take measures as soon as possible to prevent the other side from annihilating Yang Xiu's army."
