At the same time, Ji Shiting arrived in Yang City.
The manâs face sank, and he drove fast. Old Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was a bit afraid. He said half-jokingly, âMr. Ji, are you going to die with me?â
âDream on,â Ji Shiting said expressionlessly.
âThatâs true. Thatâs true.â Old Yuan chuckled. âMr. Ji, I didnât do it on purpose. I, Old Yuan, have been doing well in the triads all my life because Iâm cautious. Which of those big shots are easy to get along with? They might seem to be on the same side, but in reality, theyâre all very cautious of you. Otherwise, why would anyone want to kill you after Jing Zhiyuan fell? Actually, I still donât know which big shot gave the order, but itâs obvious that they think youâre a threat. I agreed to let you go because Iâm softhearted. Of course, I canât let you go back like this. Otherwise, Iâll be in deep trouble.â
âHow long are you going to lock me up?â Ji Shiting asked.
However, Old Yuan was very shameless. âAfter the storm passes, I just want to protect the Qingfeng Gang. This isnât an unreasonable request, right? Iâm in danger now because I saved you. Mr. Ji, youâre not the kind of person who doesnât want to repay favors, right?â
Ji Shiting smiled and sneered.
âYouâre willing to risk saving me because I can bring you benefits,â he said coldly.
âBut itâs true that Old Liang and I saved you.â Old Yuan chuckled. âI donât want to oppose you at all, Mr. Ji.â
Thus, Old Yuan realized that Ji Shiting really wanted to return to Yang City, so he relented even if he wasnât willing. If he became enemies with Ji Shiting, his goal would be difficult to achieve.
He had told Ji Shiting so much because he wanted him to cooperate.
Ji Shiting could tell that.
He said, âI wonât let anyone find me this time.â
âThatâs great.â Old Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. âDonât worry, Mr. Ji. I wonât take up too much of your time. Youâve been missing for three months, so I donât mind keeping you here for a few more months.â
Ji Shiting sneered and stepped on the accelerator.
He wasnât sure whether Shengge would really give birth today, but his instincts were getting stronger.
âWait for me, Shengge.â
â¦
It isnât easy for twins to be born via natural birth, but Ye Shengge still wanted to try, so Dr. Qin arranged for an anesthetist to give her epidural.
Perhaps it was because of the epidural, Ye Shengge felt that it was surreal every time she recalled the day that she went into labor.
When the frequency of painful contractions was at its highest, even the painkillers couldnât alleviate it. She felt as if all her bones were creaking. The light shining down from above her head was very glaring, and she heard the conversation between the doctor and nurse. It seemed that someone had been asking her to exert strength. She breathed heavily and felt that she was about to faint in the next second. Her vision gradually blurred, and the bedsheets under her were drenched in sweat.
At this moment, she saw Ji Shiting.
The manâs handsome face was filled with guilt and heartache. He held her hand tightly as if he wanted to pass his strength to her. âShengge, Iâm sorry Iâm late.â
At that moment, she couldnât help feeling aggrieved as her pent up emotions overflowed.
âIt hurtsâ¦â She mumbled. âShiting, where are youâ¦â
