The Cultivator's Reborn to 1970s-Chapter 219 - 183

Lan Tian’s eyes turned cold suddenly. Regardless of whether Chun Mei did it on purpose or unintentionally, her words had completely ignited Lan Tian’s anger.

Lan Tian slightly narrowed her eyes, hiding the fury within, and when she looked up again, her eyes were icy cold.

"Did you say someone sent you a letter?" A look of astonishment flashed across Lan Tian’s eyes, as she glanced at Grandma Sun, Zhao Li, and Mo Yuanle, then turned towards Chun Mei. Gently rubbing her fingertips, her lips curled into a semblance of a smile but not quite, giving Chun Mei a side glance, "It seems Chun Mei is quite capable, having friends even in Shanghai. Your friend really cares about you, and even pays attention to your sister-in-law’s family. They even know our home address and that we bought farmland and orchards."

Without Lan Tian mentioning it, Grandma Sun and the others hadn’t found it strange since it’s normal for relatives to visit each other, and a sister-in-law visiting her sister-in-law is nothing noteworthy.

But after Lan Tian’s comment, it seemed a bit off. They hadn’t discussed moving to Shanghai with anyone from the village, nor had they told Chun Mei their address, yet here she was.

Chun Mei mentioned someone wrote her a letter, making Grandma Sun and Zhao Li feel even more puzzled. Who was writing to Chun Mei? Who in Shanghai knew Chun Mei well enough to write about their family’s affairs, their new house, and purchasing land and orchards? And why would someone specially write to her about it?

Chun Mei let out an awkward laugh—what friends? She didn’t have a clue who wrote the letter, but she wouldn’t admit that.

"Yes, weren’t those the letters from you all? Asking me to come over and take a look. So, I brought the kids to have a look. Shanghai is such a big city, a rare opportunity for me to come out and learn something. Thinking of staying in Shanghai for a few more days, to really see the city. Who knows if I’ll have such a chance again." Knowing well that the person who wrote the letter wasn’t well-intentioned, Chun Mei played dumb.

Many things in this life deviated from her previous life’s track, like her starting school in her quest to become an immortal, living together with Grandma Sun and her husband Mo Yuanle.

Although she still ended up marrying Mo Junhua, their relationship... well, it’s hard to describe. To say they were close would be false; to say they were strangers wouldn’t be right either, they knew each other since they were kids. Thinking about their relationship gave her a headache; it’s complicated, to say the least.

Just a gentle flap of a butterfly’s wings resulted in Zhou Yuwei not getting involved with Mo Junhua, instead getting tangled up with Chu Yang, deviating from the plot of her previous life.

The chain reaction caused Yanhua and Mo Yuanle to study medicine, Chun Mei ended up marrying a merchant’s son, and Chunhua also pursued medicine with Mo Yuanle, now working in Shanghai. Mr. Mo returned to the village to recognize his kin, and their family moved out of Mo Village.

Things clearly were reversing, and somehow, unseen hands were meddling with fate, and by some unnoticed accident, things seemed to be pushed back to where they started.

Chun Mei, apart from being flirtatious, had a nature similar to Yanhua, selfish and opportunistic without principles.

In her previous life, seeing Mo Junhua liking Zhou Yuwei, she relentlessly helped Zhou Yuwei against her without any consideration for past affections, cruel and ruthless.

Suddenly coming to Shanghai, things were probably not so simple.

Since she came all the way here, Chun Mei wouldn’t likely return without achieving her purpose.

"That’s true, it’s rare for you to visit. Let’s have a good look around. Shanghai has many historic sites and places with beautiful scenery, and I just happen to be on summer break. I can take you around." Lan Tian followed up on Chun Mei’s intentions and then abruptly changed the subject, "Did you tell your mother about coming here? Does she know?"

While cheerfully eating watermelon, Chun Mei stiffened, slowly chewing the watermelon in her mouth, lifting her eyes to look at Lan Tian, and then glanced over at Grandma Sun and others.

Why did Lan Tian ask this? Did she know she came here secretly without informing her mother? Seeing Grandma Sun, Zhao Li, and others eagerly waiting for her response, Chun Mei inexplicably felt guilty.

Lan Tian saw that Chun Mei’s eyes were darting around, unwilling to meet hers. She already guessed that Chun Mei must have come without telling Wang Guiyu, perhaps even Chunhua didn’t know about her visit, and certainly Mo Junhua was unaware. That day, she took the time to visit the military base to inform Mo Junhua about her sister showing up.

"Good timing, your Third Brother has been free lately. In a few days, I’ll visit the base and tell him you’re in Shanghai, asking him to come over and catch up with you."

Lan Tian narrowed her eyes, pondered for a moment, and had someone in mind.

Yanhua. Who else could it be?

It wasn’t like their family just started building new houses, buying fields, and orchards today; it had been many years, and the village had kept it tightly under wraps. Nobody knew, Chunhua had known for a long time, but never mentioned it, and their family life prospered. Everything was fine before Yanhua came, and soon after her arrival, Chun Mei followed.

Other than her causing trouble, Lan Tian couldn’t think of anyone else.

Why would she write to Chun Mei? What kind of conspiracy could be behind it? Intriguing indeed!

...

As soon as Lan Tian left, Chunhua rigorously implemented Lan Tian’s decree. Every other day, she applied the ointment left by Lan Tian all over Mo Junhua’s body. Fearing it would raise suspicions in the hospital and cause unnecessary trouble to Lan Tian, Mo Junhua forcefully postponed getting out of bed for a month despite being able to do so in a week. He would only roam within the hospital room, with Chunhua providing cover.

Upon learning Mo Junhua had awakened, Su Qingjiang and Xiao Shan came to the Military District Hospital immediately.

"Commander, you’re finally awake." Su Qing, usually appearing aloof, was actually quite offbeat. Seeing Mo Junhua awake was like finding a pillar of strength, Xiao Shan also appeared much more spirited.

With guidance from Lan Tian, the two had discovered even more suspicious issues these days, slowly unraveling them layer by layer, and uncovered part of the truth, which they shared with Mo Junhua. However, there was still no progression on the matter of the traitor. Regarding the commander covertly staying in the military hospital for treatment, the headquarters’ attitude also warranted deep reflection.

Also, there was a new development in Zhou Yuwei’s matter.

"Commander, two days ago, I found out Nurse Zhou has ulterior motives in approaching you, she has been in contact with Chu Yang, and they have that kind of relationship. Could she possibly..." Su Qing’s gaze flickered. He did not mean to witness it, but who knew that Nurse Zhou, who seemed gentle and tender, would do such things with Chu Yang in a park corner in broad daylight.

"You don’t have to worry about Nurse Zhou’s matter; I have other arrangements," Mo Junhua said, tapping his fingers on the table, the ’tap tap tap’ echoing in the silent ward. Su Qingjiang and Xiao Shan knew this was his gesture when thinking, and quietly awaited his instructions.

After a while, Mo Junhua said, "Did Ding Lei and the others almost return?"

Su Qingjiang nodded. The headquarters had received the message, the front had finished cleaning up, and after tallying each battalion’s losses, they would return.

"It’s normal you two couldn’t figure it out, because none of you ever suspected him. Actually, all of us didn’t. He disguised himself very well daily, no one could have guessed he was the traitor. If it weren’t for my sudden injury this time, he wouldn’t have left any traces."

In fact, Mo Junhua, before falling unconscious, didn’t know who the traitor was either. It was only when he was nearly forty in his dreams that the traitor suddenly exposed himself, striking back fiercely, almost leading him to his downfall.

No one expected the critical moment to bring such a dramatic turnaround, where a leader he saved lent him a hand.
