Chapter 345 Not today, you need to rest.
The man and woman who got out of the car were not Liang Yizhi and Ji Ying.
Realizing they had fallen into a trap, the men in black dared not linger and quickly dispersed along the pre-planned route.
Reinforcements arrived in less than two minutes.
The scene was quickly brought under control and cleared, minimizing the impact.
Afterwards, Duan Cheng called Liang Yizhi.
"Mr. Liang, you were right, we have been attacked."
At this moment, Liang Yizhi sat in the car, holding a phone in one hand and gently patting Ji Ying's back with the other.
"Are you injured?"
“Jiang Ran and I only suffered minor abrasions. There were eight people on the other side, including the driver, and six of them escaped. The two who were lying down have been confirmed to be non-Chinese citizens and have no legal entry records. Judging from their target, they were probably after Madam.”
Liang Yizhi's eyes were calm, revealing no emotion.
"Understood. Return to Beijing as planned."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Ying lifted her head from his chest, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Was it someone sent by Pang Shijun? Did he guess my identity?"
Liang Yizhi paused for two seconds, then shook his head.
"It doesn't seem like it. If it were him, he would have attacked you back in town, not waited until now. Besides..."
The warmth and softness of Ji Ying's cheek through her shirt was exceptionally clear, and Liang Yizhi's voice became a little hoarse.
“Right now, he only cares about Pang Daiyao’s position. He’s eager to climb up the social ladder and his biggest wish is to clean up his act and get out of trouble. He won’t get involved in such dirty business again. The Pang family still believes that Bai Ning is your father’s biological daughter. So, it’s probably not the Pang family that’s making this move.”
"Who could it be?" Ji Ying frowned.
Liang Yizhi kissed her forehead. "Duan Cheng will continue to investigate."
After saying that, he opened the car door, got out, looked around, and then reached out his hand to her.
"It's time to board. Let's go, Mrs. Liang. We'll head back to Beijing first and then discuss this further."
Ji Ying placed her hand in his palm, used the leverage to get off the car, and the two walked into the high-speed rail station together.
Choosing high-speed rail over airplanes or driving was a key step in Liang Yizhi's plan.
To prevent being intercepted along the way, he had Jiang Ran and Duan Cheng drive the conspicuous SUV along the original route, serving as a target to draw fire.
He and Ji Ying secretly traveled to the neighboring city to transfer to this high-speed train.
Liang Yizhi booked a business suite with a bathroom.
This arrangement was made for two reasons: first, to ensure the privacy of the room; and second, because they felt sorry for Ji Ying, who hadn't had a good night's sleep during her time being abducted. In this environment, at least she could have a decent hot meal and a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed.
Soon, the bullet train slowly pulled away from the platform.
Ji Ying curled up in the seat, slowly relaxing and remaining still.
The train attendant brought over a delicious meal and then left.
"Eat something first, then go to sleep. You'll be home as soon as you open your eyes tomorrow."
Ji Ying remained listless and unwilling to move, so Liang Yizhi gently picked her up and placed her on a seat at the dining table.
She tilted her head back and bit his Adam's apple.
The man's breath hitched, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.
"Eat well, you've lost weight these past few days."
"Liang Yizhi, am I going to die from poisoning?"
The man paused, frowning. "What do you mean?"
Ji Ying explained, "On the day of the wedding banquet, Aunt Ma forced me to drink a bowl of dark, bitter medicine that was more bitter than my life. She said it would help me have a son, and if I died from the poison, you could remarry."
"Why are you only telling me now about something so important?"
Liang Yizhi quickly took out his phone and sent a message. Not long after, he received a reply.
He quickly scanned the area, and the taut shoulder line finally relaxed a little.
"It's just medicine concocted haphazardly by a local witch doctor, so there shouldn't be any major problems. Aunt Ma has already been arrested; she's suspected of murdering two people, and she can't escape being shot."
He reached out and gently stroked the tip of her nose.
"What do you mean by remarrying? In this life, and for the rest of my life, the only person who will be my wife is you."
Ji Ying rubbed her forehead against his chest. "I was so scared back then. I was scared that I would never see you again, scared that I would just lie there forever and no one would know."
Liang Yizhi felt a pang of sadness and gently patted her back.
"No, my Yingying is amazing. She managed to escape from such a dangerous place all the way to the town, and even returned to Beijing to settle her blood debts. No matter what you do, your husband will support you."
What Liang Yizhi didn't tell Ji Ying was that two sets of skeletons had been unearthed in the Ma family's field, both belonging to women who had been sold before her.
They were tortured to death.
It is a blessing from heaven that she was able to return safely to her side.
Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
After dinner, the closer we got to Beijing, the faster it got dark.
Ji Ying took a shower and then went to sleep.
Liang Yizhi gently lay down beside her, and in the dim light of the night lamp, his gaze traced her face inch by inch.
The faint mark on his right cheek, now almost invisible, proved that he had been beaten quite a bit by the Ma family and Gou Gen and his wife.
But after seeing him, she didn't utter a single word about the suffering she had endured these past few days.
He gently lifted the sleeve of her arm, revealing a bruise where Gou Gen's wife had pinched her that morning.
These signs of abuse, when seen by Liang Yizhi, felt like red-hot needles piercing his heart.
Gou Gen and his wife have already been sent to the underworld, but Liang Yizhi still feels that it's too lenient for them.
Ji Ying didn't sleep for long before she was awakened by a nightmare.
Her hands flailed wildly in mid-air, her legs kicking frantically, as if trying to break free from some kind of restraint.
Liang Yizhi immediately pulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.
"It's alright, it's alright... I'm here, no one can hurt you."
Ji Ying opened her eyes and calmed down the moment she saw him.
She gasped, "I dreamt that I woke up and was back in the Ma family's mud-brick house..."
“No more,” Liang Yizhi kissed her forehead. “I had all their houses demolished. There won’t be any more places like that.”
Just now, when Liang Yizhi was controlling her, she didn't even realize that her clothes had come undone.
At this moment, Ji Ying calmed down in his arms, smelling the mixed scent of his shower gel and hormones, and her eyes fell on his strong chest. Some suppressed emotions gradually surged up.
"husband……"
She placed her hand on it.
Liang Yizhi's breath hitched, and he pressed down on her hand.
"Not today, you need to rest."
"But..." A hint of unbearable longing showed between her brows, "I don't know why, but ever since I saw you, I've wanted to, and all the way here, when I was pressed against your chest, I wanted to. Don't you want to?"
A spark ignited quietly in Liang Yizhi's eyes.
Of course he wanted her; he wanted her anytime, anywhere.
