Chapter 341 I won’t ask you such difficult questions next time

"After I was arrested, that is, during that period, I got hold of some secrets and information about the person who was colluding with Yang Long. That person acted very cautiously, and we were never able to tell who the tiger behind the scenes was."

"So, in order to lure out the big tiger, I stole something very important to them and ran away. They wanted to get the things back, so they tried every means to catch me back, so...that's what happened to you later."

"We did this just to ensure that the military would be able to fully cooperate with us and encircle and destroy this huge group."

Yu Gang suddenly interrupted: "I asked her to do this."

Hearing this, Ji Lianqi ignored the wound on his body, got off the bed, and punched Yu Gang hard on the head:

"Yu Gang, you bastard!"

This was the first time Ye Ying heard Ji Lianqi swearing, and she felt a little surprised.

Yu Gang was beaten, but he had no intention of fighting back at all.

Ji Lianqi was furious: "You almost killed her!"

At this moment, Yu Gang didn't know where to look, and could only explain helplessly: "No, we have sent people to keep an eye on her every move and protect her safety secretly..."

Before he could finish his words, Ji Lianqi punched him in the cheek again.

"Is this what you call protection?" Ji Lianqi turned around angrily and pointed at Ye Ying, "Comrades, do you want to take a closer look at her current appearance? That day she almost..."

He couldn't say any more.

Yu Gang certainly understood how Ye Ying had been treated these days. He coughed twice and said with difficulty: "This sudden situation was beyond our expectations. We..."

"This was our negligence, but our common goal is to take down this gang..."

"What an oversight!" Ji Lianqi sneered, "If you and the higher-ups hadn't stopped me from taking action, she wouldn't have been in danger and wouldn't have been seriously injured. Do you know that she was almost killed by those bastards?"

Yu Gang once again lowered his head in shame, his hands hanging at his sides clenched uncontrollably.

"...Of course I know. But in order to rescue the more than 100 abducted women there, and to completely shake this gang of evil forces, I can only, I can only harden my heart and force myself to do this."

"The most important thing is that we have found out the tiger behind Yang Long this time! You, Ye Ying, and those undercover brothers who died did not sacrifice in vain. Our efforts have paid off."

After Yu Gang finished speaking, Sun Xi beside him also helped to explain:

"Besides, we really didn't intend to put Comrade Ye Ying in danger."

"The violent behavior of Yang Long and his gang was outrageous. We took this into consideration and specially arranged for the guards to protect her. When we learned that Yang Long was going to drown her, we immediately made a plan to escort her away. However, we didn't expect that they had a trick up their sleeve. Hu Liu... was not dead."

"When we were planning this plan, we always put Comrade Ye Ying's safety first, and we executed it based on her safety!"

"Stop talking, both of you please leave, we need to rest." Ji Lianqi pointed at the door and coldly ordered them to leave.

He didn't want to listen anymore.

He didn't expect that Yu Gang had been planning on Ye Ying and him from the very beginning.

Yu Gang and Sun Xi looked at each other, stayed in the ward for a long time, and then turned around and left helplessly.

After the two left, Ji Lianqi never dared to look up at Ye Ying, but looked at the apple in her hand: "Let me help you peel the apple."

Ye Ying gave him the apple without saying a word, while she was recalling what Yu Gang and Sun Xi had just said.

So it sounds like everything that happened was planned in advance?

No, why does she feel like a big victim?

Ji Lianqi peeled the apple and turned around to see Ye Ying staring at the door, as if thinking about something.

"Come on, eat first." He stuffed the apple into her hand.

She took the apple, took a bite, and stuffed it back to him, "You eat it, I don't want to eat it anymore."

"Why?" Ji Lianqi looked at her hesitantly and took a bite of the place where she had bitten. "It's quite sweet."

Ye Ying suddenly grabbed his wrist, looking serious: "Have you known about this for a long time?"

Ji Lianqi's body stiffened, he nodded silently, and then shook his head quickly.

He thought it would be better not to keep this secret from her.

Ji Lianqi lowered his eyes and explained in a deep voice: "I actually rushed here the night after you were captured by Yang Long."

What? He's been here all along?!

Ye Ying was extremely surprised.

"You mean to say that you have been lurking in the dance hall?"

Ji Lianqi nodded again.

She was happy and excited that he got here at the first possible moment.

But at the same time...

"Then why did you, why...?" Why did you come to save her at the last minute?

Seeing the flash of disappointment in Ye Ying's eyes, Ji Lianqi eagerly held her hand.

"At that time, Yu Gang took the initiative to contact the higher-ups. I thought about rushing in to rescue you from their hands countless times, but...the higher-ups issued a military order, forbidding me to act rashly. They thought that doing so would ruin their careful plan, and they always guaranteed to protect you."

"Moreover, Yu Gang also patted his chest and guaranteed that you would be absolutely fine. He said that Yang Long has his people here, and they will definitely ensure your safety."

"I'm really worried, but I have no other choice, so I can only pretend to be a gangster and hide here for many days. If something really happens to you, I can rush to rescue you as soon as possible."

God knows how angry he was when he learned that she had been treated inhumanely by Hu Liu in there, but at the same time he was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

"So, is this how Brother Wang came here?" Ye Ying looked at him without blinking.

Hearing this title, a trace of shame flashed across Ji Lianqi's face, then he lowered his eyes and nodded.

After not hearing Ye Ying's words for a long time, he looked up in a hurry.

At first glance, tears were glistening in her eyes.

"Ye Ying..." He suddenly became nervous and held her hand tightly again.

Ye Ying sniffed and said seriously, "I don't want to say anything else. I just want to ask you one question. If, if something really happens to me, will you... disobey military orders and come to save me?"

Ji Lianqi's brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

Will he?

He couldn't help but stare at Ye Ying deeply.

Ye Ying's tears were still welling up in her eyes, but when she saw him like this, she suddenly smiled.

She reached out and smoothed the furrows between his brows: "Okay, I was just kidding you, don't be so nervous, I won't ask you such difficult questions next time."

Ji Lianqi still looked at her deeply, and the next second, he just held her in his arms without saying a word.

He said nothing, but he already had the answer in his heart.
