Chapter 244 The Grand Finale (Part 1)
Ji Chenxing didn't have time to wait for the soldiers to bring Zhizhi over.
He strode outside, saying, "I'll go take a look."
Zhizhi is alright, and Jiang Gong is alright; that's the greatest blessing of the day!
"I'm going too!"
Jiang Anchao volunteered, eager to confirm his daughter's safety.
The other people in the meeting room looked at each other in bewilderment and then followed suit.
Inside the military compound, Zhizhi was led inside by a soldier.
The little cub's big eyes were red-rimmed, its nose was bright red, and its whole little face was drooping, making it look very pitiful.
"Zhizhi? Zhizhi!"
Ji Chenxing noticed from a distance that she was the only one there.
He frowned. "Zhizhi, where... Jiang Yan? Where is he? Are you alright?"
"Uncle..."
The little cub's hair was all messed up, and it looked up at its uncle with a pitiful expression.
The grievances that had been bottled up inside for so long finally surged up at this moment.
She let out a cry and threw herself into her uncle's arms, bursting into tears.
Zhizhi's crying really ruined things.
Ji Chenxing's eyebrows were practically burning with anxiety as he listened, growing more and more worried. "What's wrong, sweetie? Calm down and tell your uncle. No matter what happens, your uncle is here to support you. Don't be afraid."
He thought that Zhizhi had seen the scene of Ye Ze's accident and that the child was terrified.
Zhizhi shook her head violently, "No, no... Uncle, I..."
She choked up, her sobs were so intense that she kept hiccuping and could barely speak a complete sentence.
Even Ji Chenxing, a grown man, was so anxious that his eyes welled up with tears.
"Good Zhizhi, sweet Zhizhi, let's not cry, okay? You're putting your uncle's heart in the oil pan."
Ji Chenxing gently patted her back, trying to use as little force as possible.
This child must have suffered a great injustice to be so upset.
Who on earth is this person who is so despicable?
If he finds out, he definitely won't let it go!
After the cub's cries subsided considerably, Ji Chenxing dared to ask softly, "Tell your uncle, what happened? Did someone bully our Zhizhi?"
"No... I saw my mother one last time."
Jiang Zhizhi pressed on her uncle's shoulder and spoke with difficulty, word by word.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke, but she tried her best to force a smile.
“En Ning’s mother is really beautiful, much prettier than Zhi Zhi. She has two dimples on her face… Uncle, I’ve met my mother.”
"What?"
Ji Chenxing could hardly believe his ears.
Hasn't En Ning already passed away?
Did Zhizhi have a nightmare, which caused her to have this illusion?
Where did you meet him?
Just as Zhizhi was about to speak, she suddenly looked around and reached out to make a zipping motion.
"When we get home, Zhizhi will tell her uncle everything." The little girl solemnly squeezed her uncle's hand.
When Jiang Yan's father came out of the space, he told her that this space was a product of a time beyond our current era.
She couldn't tell anyone, not even her closest family members; she had to be on guard.
You never know when your closest loved ones might steal it from you.
However, she had witnessed firsthand the character of both her eldest and youngest uncles.
The Ji family's uncles and aunts are all exceptionally good people.
Zhizhi puffed out her cheeks, took a deep breath, and mentally prepared herself.
"Uncle, Jiang Yan didn't want to come to the military region, so he made a phone call and was picked up."
The little cub's eyes were clear, but his tone carried an awkwardness, "He's fine, don't worry."
"But didn't they say he was shot? Shouldn't he be taken to the hospital for treatment?"
Ji Chenxing was still somewhat uneasy, after all, the mole came from the military region.
Jiang Yan was also harmed by Ye Ze, and if a real accountability is pursued, the Beijing Military Region will be held responsible.
If he can't handle this matter properly now, it will become a handle against him later.
When Zhizhi heard her uncle ask that question, she shook her head.
She said sensibly, "Don't worry, the bullet has been removed. It was... we were just passing by and met a doctor who performed the surgery on the spot. Don't worry."
Ji Chenxing narrowed his eyes slightly; he always felt that Zhizhi was hiding something from him.
Zhizhi seemed to be hiding some information.
Never mind, I'll ask him properly when I get home.
"Okay, you've been busy all day, and you haven't been to your uncle's house yet, have you? Come on, it's almost Chinese New Year, your uncle will take you home."
Just as Zhizhi was about to nod in agreement, she suddenly noticed Jiang Anchao watching her anxiously from not far away.
The cub slowly released its uncle's hand.
Her large, dark eyes stared straight at her father. In the winter, Jiang Anchao was wearing only a thin coat, but his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
From a distance of four or five meters, Zhizhi couldn't see the subtle changes in Jiang Anchao's facial expression.
But she could clearly sense her father's anxiety and his cautiousness in not daring to disturb him.
Zhizhi took a deep breath and slowly gave her father a smile.
“Dad... Zhizhi didn’t let you down. Jiang Yan is fine, and Zhizhi is fine too.”
She glanced at Deng Qiu's mother, who was covering her face and secretly shedding tears.
In an instant, countless images of warm family interactions flashed through the little boy's mind.
Zhizhi slowly opened her hands, her smile deepening.
"Daddy, Mommy...maybe you'd like to hug my cuddles?"
"Zhizhi!"
Jiang Anchao ran towards her, and the father and daughter hugged each other tightly.
His heart was pounding, violently and powerfully.
Deng Qiu, who followed behind, also wanted to hold her daughter, so Jiang Anchao simply took both of them into his arms.
Deng Qiu's voice was hoarse, "You naughty Zhizhi, do you know you're going to scare your mother to death?"
"That's right, your mom's eyes are swollen like walnuts from crying. If you don't come back soon, Dad is really going to hang himself at the gate of the military region."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"It's good that Zhizhi is back. With Zhizhi back, our family of five is complete."
The family of three embraced tightly, their warm body heat and the uniform scent of soap on their clothes mingling together.
Their emotions are closely intertwined at this moment.
Zhizhi closed her eyes happily, tears silently sliding down her face.
She finally understood what Enning's mother had said.
Why is her happiness index at its maximum?
Some people may have disappeared, but they will live on forever in her heart.
And some people will continue to accompany her through a very long time of her life, helping her grow up happily.
The little cub's heart, which had just been missing, was finally filled by this warm embrace.
