Inside the sedan

Ji Baijian didn’t turn his head.

Wei Ziming sat in the co-pilot seat.

After half a second of silence between the two, Ji Baijian suddenly took out a miniature monitor from the sedan.

Wei Ziming’s face changed.

Ji Baijian said, “Yours, isn’t it?”

Wei Ziming glared fiercely at Ji Baijian.

He knew.

Xiaolang had told him the monitor was placed behind Yin Qin’s mobile phone cover, it shouldn’t have been discovered so quickly.

“Take it back,” Ji Baijian said, “I am more capable than you think, so don’t think about monitoring me, and don’t think you can surveil me.”

Wei Ziming clutched the miniature monitor tightly in his palm.

Indeed.

He had previously known that Ji Baijian very skilled, but he didn’t expect he would have so much under wraps.

He was even able to corner Ye Taiting and leave him nowhere to escape. If it hadn’t been for him, Ye Taiting would already be dead.

He couldn’t help but be awed!

“If it weren’t for Song Zhizhi today, you would have undoubtedly died.” Ji Baijian returned to his point.

Wei Ziming looked at him.

“I wouldn’t drop my weapons for someone who means nothing to me,” Ji Baijian bluntly told him. If it weren’t for Song Zhizhi, he would surely be dead. “But now you’re still alive. Song Zhizhi threatened me with her life, and you survived! And I hope that, no matter what happens to Song Zhizhi in the future, you’ll act the same way for her.”

“I don’t need your reminder!” Wei Ziming said harshly.

“I hope so.” Ji Baijian opened the car door directly and said, “Drive back early.”

He left.

Watching Ji Baijian’s retreating figure, Wei Ziming looked a bit grave.

He always felt that Ji Baijian knew a lot of things, many things they thought he didn’t know.

Ji Baijian took the elevator up and returned to his vast home.

He sat on the sofa without going upstairs, smoking.

One cigarette after another.

Song Zhizhi came downstairs to find him only after waiting for a long time for Ji Baijian to come back after taking a shower upstairs.

She saw him sitting on the sofa, like a statue, motionless.

Song Zhizhi watched him silently, understanding he might need time to sort out his feelings.

So she didn’t disturb him.

She turned to go upstairs.

“Madam.” Ji Baijian called out to her.

It wasn’t an intimate call, just a straightforward address.

Song Zhizhi approached him.

She thought he didn’t need her right now.

Ji Baijian extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.

It seemed that when she was with him, Ji Baijian never smoked.

There was still a faint smell of cigarettes. Looking at the multiple cigarette butts in front of her, at least seven or eight!

He had been smoking since he came back?

“Are you afraid of me?” Ji Baijian looked at her and asked seriously.

“Not afraid,” Song Zhizhi answered very seriously.

He was indeed brutal, but she knew he would not hurt her.

He said, “We have alarmed the snake in the grass.”

“Hmm?” Song Zhizhi looked at Ji Baijian.

“In the future, Ye Taiting will be very much against us, including your father,” Ji Baijian said, analyzing the current situation for her.

Song Zhizhi’s eyes dimmed.

Yes.

She knew all about it.

This time they didn’t kill Ye Taiting, next time it would be Ye Taiting coming to kill them.

The people they were fighting against had a large background, with a few hundred years of historical foundation. It was extremely difficult to overthrow them. And now, they had exposed themselves, losing the perfect opportunity. The road ahead was going to be very hard.

“Madam, I may not be able to promise anymore to protect you and your family from harm for a lifetime,” Ji Baijian said. His cold voice told Song Zhizhi word by word.

He told her that he was not that powerful. He wasn’t that powerful to protect her fully!

Song Zhizhi’s eyes reddened.

At this moment.

Shouldn’t Ji Baijian blame her, dislike her, and be indifferent to her at this time?

Why was he still considering her feelings at this time?

And worrying about his inability to fulfill the promise he made to her.

Song Zhizhi held Ji Baijian’s hand.

Ji Baijian’s fingers seemed to tremble for a moment.

Song Zhizhi looked at his blood-stained fingers. The blood had completely dried and solidified on his hand.

Her heart hurt. She said, “I’m sorry.”

Ji Baijian looked at her.

He saw her tear-stained eyes.

“I’m sorry,” Song Zhizhi said again.

She was selfish.

She thought her family was the most important, so she lost him such a good opportunity.

She felt guilty, really guilty.

“I don’t blame you,” Ji Baijian said, wiping the tears from her face with his fingers. “I’m just afraid…afraid I can’t fulfill the promise I made to you…

Song Zhizhi took the initiative to kiss him.

She didn’t want to hear anymore.

She didn’t want to hear anything.

Because she was afraid she would fall apart even more.

Clearly, she was the one who caused all this, but in the end, he still had to comfort her.

And she could only use her own way, the most primitive way that humans have, to tell him that she truly loved him.

Very, very much…

The next day.

Jin City was bright and dazzling.

A beam of light shone in through the floor-to-ceiling window, casting a bright spot on the floor.

Song Zhizhi just kept staring at the floor.

Feeling the warmth of the person behind her.

Last night, they were so tired.

They were so tired, but they did something even more tiring.

At the moment, she didn’t want to move at all.

It felt as though her whole body had come apart.

The person behind her held her tightly in his arms, as he had throughout the entire night…

“Are you awake?” came his magnetic masculine voice from behind her.

She nodded.

“Turn around,” he said.

Song Zhizhi slowly turned around.

The two were very close to each other.

Ji Baijian leaned over and lightly kissed her forehead.

She always felt that this kind of kiss, without any sexual connotations, would warm her heart.

Yesterday, they were probably both cold-hearted.

So cold they could only warm each other up.

She reached out, her fair arm around Ji Baijian’s neck, she said, “I will accompany you in the future, no matter what happens, I will always be with you. And I, I am not afraid of death.”

She felt it would be un-worth it to die for Yi Wenhan.

But for Ji Baijian, she could do it!

Ji Baijian pulled out a beautiful smile from the corner of his mouth, at that moment Song Zhizhi felt that Ji Baijian shone brighter than the outside sun.

How could he be so handsome?

Handsome to the point where she felt her heart would explode.

At this moment, she really wanted to take advantage of him!

“It is better for the lady to keep yourself restrained,” Ji Baijian seemed to understand what she was thinking.

Damn it, Ji Baijian.

They’ve reached this point, is the term restraint applicable?!

She suppressed her inner emotions and asked him seriously, “Ji Baijian, will you be angry with me?”

“I won’t be angry with you being unrestrained towards me,” he responded.

Song Zhizhi was speechless.

Suddenly, she drifted off-topic.

She just thought of what happened yesterday.

Remembering the depression of Ji Baijian yesterday.

She had never seen him in such a state, she had never seen Ji Baijian looking so desolate!

She asked, “Are you angry? I threatened you with my life to save Brother Ziming.”

“I am angry,” said Ji Baijian, quite firmly.

Song Zhizhi looked at him.

“I will be angry even if you cast a glance at other men, let alone using your life to save him.”

“…..” Somehow, Song Zhizhi felt that Ji Baijian’s explanation was a little off from her point.

“But didn’t the lady already made up for it last night?” Ji Baijian responded.

As he spoke, a very noticeable and playful smile spread across his face as if he was recalling something…

“Don’t think about it.” Song Zhizhi blushed.

“Don’t think about what?” Ji Baijian asked her purposefully.

Song Zhizhi’s face turned crimson.

She didn’t speak.

Ji Baijian’s smile was very bright.

She thought that she wouldn’t be able to see Ji Baijian laugh at her like this in the future.

She thought that the future Ji Baijian will have a gap between her, whether it’s subjective or objective…

But it turns out.

Ji Baijian loves her so much!

She buried her face in Ji Baijian’s neck.

No one could separate them in this life!

No one is allowed to.

In the warm and sweet room, a phone ring suddenly broke the silence.

Song Zhizhi frowned.

Who is so boring to disturb them at this point?

Ji Baijian had already let go of Song Zhizhi and reached for his phone.

Song Zhizhi took a glance.

She knew it must be that fool Yin Qin.

Ji Baijian answered the call, “Yin Qin.”

“Have you seen the news?”

“What?”

“Ye Taiting is dead.”

Ji Baijian’s face changed in an instant.

Seeing the change in Ji Baijian’s expression, Song Zhizhi knew something big must have happened!

“You didn’t see it? Just now, the Ye Family released an official family letter, Ye Taiting died this morning at 7 o’clock, and he was 73 years old after unsuccessful rescue at the hospital!” Yin Qin sounded unusual serious, knowing that Ji Baijian cared about this, he continued, “Do you know what the cause of death was?”

Ji Baijian frowned slightly.

“Died of murder…” Yin Qin wanted to explain.

Ji Baijian had already hung up the phone.

Looking at Ji Baijian’s appearance, she couldn’t help but ask, “What happened?”

“Ye Taiting is dead.”

Song Zhizhi was also shocked.

Didn’t they manage to flee with Yi Wenhan just yesterday? How could he just suddenly die?

“Could it be a faked death?”

“It shouldn’t be.” Ji Baijian said flatly.

Declaring worldwide that he is dead, unless it is true, no matter how cunning Ye Taiting is, he wouldn’t do such a thing!

He quickly opened the news on his phone, the icon of the news app turned gray.

It seems like the whole nation was mourning for him.

Ji Baijian stared at the black letters on the white background of his phone, capturing the key points,”….. The project team of Jinghe Village’s Renovation Project was studying and touring there, but they were held hostage by Vivek-head of Jinghe Village. Afraid for everyone’s safety, Ye Taiting personally went to the scene to rescue them, unaware that during the rescue, he was accidently killed by the mob’s revenge, was rushed back to Jin City for medical help but it didn’t work, he died at the age of 73. There are countless deaths and injuries among the project team members, only 4 managed to survive and out of them 2 are severely injured and are being treated in the hospital…”

Ji Baijian saw this much content.

The persistently harsh condemnations at the end, he didn’t feel the need to read them.

He abruptly got up from the bed.

“Ji Baijian?” Song Zhizhi caught hold of him.

Ji Baijian said, “I am going to check out the situation.”

“I’ll come with you.”

“Okay.”

Both of them quickly freshened up and rushed to the scene.

Luo Xiaolang drove them to the Ye Family’s ancestral hall.

The ashes of the Ye family’s ancestors were placed there.

Turning her head and looking at Ji Baijian’s dark face, she actively held his hand, his hand was surprisingly cold.

Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi headed in.

The hall of the ancestral hall was filled with people, Ye Taiting’s sudden death not only shocked Yanshang Country, but even the other countries gave serious condolences!

At this moment inside the main hall of the ancestral room.

Song Zhizhi saw Yi Wenhan, his son, he was wearing the white mourning clothes only seen on a filial son, kneeling in the middle of the hall. Qian Guanshu stood at his side, looking mournfully at Ye Taiting’s ice casket.

So…

What exactly is the situation now?

She turned her head to look at Ji Baijian.

Ji Baijian’s face remained taut and he didn’t reveal any emotions.

He walked straight towards Ye Taiting’s ice casket.

The casket was clear.

At that moment, Ye Taiting could clearly be seen lying inside, his face pale, the exact color of a dead person and definitely not a mannequin!

So.

How did Ye Taiting actually die?!

Ji Baijian turned to look at Yi Wenhan.

It seemed like Yi Wenhan felt Ji Baijian’s gaze at that moment. Kneeling on the ground, he lifted his head, and a cunning smile was clearly visible on his face, it disappeared in a split second.

Song Zhizhi also saw the smile on Yi Wenhan’s face that passed quickly.

In the end.

What kind of conspiracy is hidden, that allows Yi Wenhan to be so pleased?!

And all those coming and going people, seeing Yi Wenhan kneeling in the center, were incredibly shocked.

It was well known that Ye Taiting had no descendants, and Yi Wenhan was kneeling in a place where only offsprings could kneel, what does this mean….

Everyone dared not speculate, neither dared to ask.

Everyone could only wait for the official standard answer from the authorities!
