Chapter 178 So Ji Ying is… She understood, she understood everything.
Ji Ying was so breathless from the kiss that her whole body went limp. Only when he let go was she able to lean against him and breathe rapidly.
She instinctively wrapped her arms tightly around his waist to steady herself.
A low chuckle came from above, "What, reluctant to let go?"
Ji Ying recovered from her daze and shyly punched him in the chest.
"What kind of place is this where you dare to act recklessly?"
Liang Yizhi raised an eyebrow, "You won't let us kiss in public, and you won't let us do anything in private. Do you look like a couple?"
One sentence left Ji Ying speechless.
"Did you go see Liang Jian today?" he asked.
Ji Ying lowered her eyes. "Not yet."
Liang Yizhi said, "I found him the best neurosurgeon. If he can't be cured, I'll give him a brain transplant."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone knocked on the door.
Ji Ying quickly stepped out of his arms.
Liang Yizhi placed the food box on the desk with a bored expression and called out, "Come in."
To everyone's surprise, the person who came in was Jiang Ran.
Her voice was tinged with excitement, "We've got the evidence against Gu Yi. This laboratory, set up under the guise of new energy battery research and development, is full of high-risk items, and there are also smuggling records and evidence that he and Zhan Ang are master and servant. He should at least be sentenced to life imprisonment."
Just as Ji Ying was about to speak, Xue Qin hurriedly pushed open the door and entered, his face grave.
"It's terrible! We just received news. Gu Yi suffered a sudden heart attack in the detention center and died despite all efforts to save him."
In less than a minute, Ji Ying's mood went up and down like a roller coaster.
She said incredulously, "Heart attack? I could believe he was just skinny, how could he possibly have a heart attack? Gu Yanchen has never mentioned that he has this problem."
As she spoke, she took out her phone to call Gu Yanchen and ask him for clarification.
However, Liang Yizhi took her hand.
“It’s no use,” he said with a calm, knowing tone. “In some places, a ‘temporary heartache’ can be mistaken for a heart attack.”
Everyone immediately understood.
Someone, fearing being dragged into Gu Yi's mess, preemptively struck a dirty trick.
"But to die like this would be too easy for him."
Ji Ying's tone was filled with resentment and indignation.
Liang Yizhi cupped her slightly cool hand in his palm.
"Death is the best punishment for Gu Yi. As for those behind him, as long as their greed continues, their reach will only grow longer and longer. It's only a matter of time before they capsize; it's just a different way of courting death."
Ji Ying felt a little better after hearing his words.
...
It is said that after Gu Yi died, Gu Yanchen did not come forward to collect his body, and in the end, it was Old Madam Gu who entrusted someone to handle the funeral arrangements.
Gu Yanchen's Xueqiong Titanium Energy is far more powerful than Chen Xi's. However, unlike Chen Xi, Xueqiong Titanium Energy belongs entirely to him personally, and neither Gu's relatives nor even the old master's former subordinates can get any benefit from it.
“Gu Yanchen bought a nursing home so his grandmother can live out her days in comfort. I think this is part of his plan; only by eliminating any worries can he fully focus on his competition with Liang Yizhi,” Xiao Xia said.
She learned all these inside stories about the Gu family from Xiao Chang.
"Be careful, Yingying."
These past few days, Ji Ying has spent her days busy in the lab, except for visiting Liang Jian at the hospital. In the evenings, she meets up with Liang Yizhi at her small apartment.
Aside from Liang Jian always insisting that she "move back" to the Liang residence, her life was relatively uneventful.
She listened quietly to Xiao Xia's words, her face showing little emotion.
“Healthy competition is not a bad thing. Regardless of his purpose in signing the strategic agreement with Qing Sui, now that Qing Sui has Liang Yizhi’s protection, if he really wants to act recklessly for personal reasons, he will have to think twice.”
Xiao Xia looked at her and smiled.
“Qing Sui is like our child. You always protect her with all your might in times of crisis, so I’m never worried about that. As long as you and Gu Yanshen can’t go back, I’ll be at ease.”
She suddenly remembered something and continued, "The location for the new factory has been chosen. I'm going to visit it with President Tang tomorrow. You should come too."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ying's eyelids twitched.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xia asked, noticing her unnatural expression.
“It’s okay, can I not go?” Ji Ying asked.
Xiao Xia smiled and said, "You're a shareholder of Qing Sui, so try not to miss important company events, otherwise what if I get sick one day..."
"Pah! Take it back!" Ji Ying interrupted her.
Xiao Xia smiled and changed her words, saying, "If I ever need to take a day off to date, you'll have to help me keep an eye on things at the company."
Ji Ying breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at her. "We have a clear division of labor. I'll handle the technical aspects, and you'll handle the management and external relations. This is fine, there's no need to change it."
That's what she said, but Ji Ying still went with Xiao Xia the next day.
Upon arriving at her destination, she finally understood why her eyelids were twitching.
The new factory was located not far from the place where Wen Lingxue had hired someone to impersonate a taxi driver and take her to feed stray dogs.
The person who showed them the factory explained, "This factory has been closed for several years, and it's currently the best preserved in terms of environment and facilities among the abandoned factories in the vicinity. Although this area has been abandoned for a long time, it has been designated as a key development zone, and factories will be built around it in the future."
Tang Yue glanced at Ji Ying and asked, "Director Ji, have you heard about the development in this area?"
Ji Ying could tell that she was implying that she could ask Liang Yizhi for information.
She smiled faintly, "President Tang should trust his own judgment."
Tang Yue gave a mechanical smile, knowing that Xiao Xia was prickly, and didn't dare to provoke her any further, and started chatting with her.
As the group reached a corner, Xiao Xia thought for a moment and said to Ji Ying and Tang Yue, "This place is too big to see in a short time. How about we split into three groups? Yingying, go and check out the experimental functional area. President Tang, go to Factory Building No. 1 to check the spatial layout and load-bearing structure. I'll go to the second floor to see if the hoisting openings are suitable for renovation. How about we meet here in ten minutes?"
Tang Yue had no objection, but she took the "matchmaker" with her to keep her company.
"Xiaxia, there are a lot of stray dogs over there, be careful," Ji Ying said.
The introducer had already taken two steps with Tang Yue when he heard this and quickly turned back to say, "Don't worry, all the dangerous creatures in that area have been cleared out. It was an order from above, and even the top leader didn't dare to neglect it."
Ji Ying was surprised.
It must have been made by Liang Yizhi.
Xiao Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, see you in ten minutes."
Ji Ying walked towards the experimental area for a while, and the further she walked, the more panicked she became.
A sense of impending doom gripped her, and she made a decisive decision to stop going forward and go back to find Xiao Xia.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xia had already gone up to the second floor.
There was a man standing in the corridor.
"Hello, may I ask who you are...?"
The man was wearing a tight leather jacket and sunglasses when he turned around.
"Are you Xiao Xia?" he asked.
Xiao Xia had just nodded when the other person flashed in front of her.
Before she could even ask the question she wanted to ask, the dagger had already plunged into her heart.
Xiao Xia was startled, but remained unusually calm and asked softly, "Why?"
The man chuckled, "Because you have blood that shouldn't be flowing in your veins."
Seeing her confusion, he said coldly, "I don't kill fools. Someone did a DNA test on you and found your biological parents, but you shouldn't have been born into their family. Do you understand?"
Xiao Xia suddenly remembered the hair clip that Shen Aizhu had touched at the party, and the hair on it was gone.
What that woman didn't know was that she and Ji Ying had swapped hair clips that day.
So Ji Ying was... she understood, she understood everything.
Seeing her sudden realization, the other person assumed she knew who he was and pushed her off the building.
Ji Ying happened to walk down the stairs...
