Ji Yanghai sat steadily, neither stopping him from leaving nor standing up, but just stared blankly at the documents on the table.
There was an intuition in his mind, as if trying to tell him that it would be better not to read this document, as there must be countless schemes hidden in it, either to be used secretly or to attack his mind.
But another voice whispered in his ear, gently tickling him, leaving Ji Yanghai with an uncontrollable feeling. It must contain something he couldn't accept, but at the same time, it could also be the truth. He trusted Chen Tinghan wouldn't lie, and even more so, he believed that if he did, Wang Jinling would have a thousand ways to expose it.
Ji Yanghai hesitated for a long time, and finally reached out to touch the document. Almost at the same time, a phone call came in.
It’s Wang Jinling’s call.
He took the documents, walked around outside, sat on the fire escape, and picked up the phone. The young lady's clear and steady voice came from the other end: "Kill him?"
Ji Yanghai tilted his head slightly, looking through the half-open fire door at the man sitting on the second floor, and said, "No, Shi Zirui told me that Wang Kai might be targeting him right now and there's a possibility that he might leak secrets, so she asked me to silence him.
But I went around the scene a few times and didn't find anything, so I'm waiting for feedback. If I don't get any, I won't kill this person."
"That's a very clever judgment." Wang Jinling said faintly on the other end of the phone, "He really played it very well."
"He really managed to fool you." Ji Yanghai sighed, "Is everything going on over there? Do you want me to come over?"
"Need not."
Wang Jinling quickly told him the whole story, and then said in an inexplicable voice, "I was on guard against him and Li Qiushuang, but when the two of them joined forces, I could never have predicted what would happen.
It was indeed a ridiculous birthday party, but have you ever seen a birthday party where I wasn't allowed to contact the outside world? Pulling Wang Kai's banner, I really didn't dare to make a conclusion for a while, and at one point I thought it was a trap set for me.
"I told you long ago, if we don't get rid of him, we'll face a lot of trouble in the future." Ji Yanghai tore open the cover of the document and said, "Is the personnel list leaked seriously?"
"People are always tempted by their emotions," Wang Jinling said with a smile. "The current troubles are nothing. I'm just worried about what other tricks that guy might have up his sleeve. I have to be on guard."
"Is there any troublesome matter that I need to take care of?" Ji Yanghai stroked the document.
"No."
Wang Jinling suddenly asked, "The part I'm most worried about this time is you. You just showed up in front of him, which proves that you're in Wanghai and doing something secretly."
Ji Yanghai immediately understood that he must be one of the troublemakers, otherwise she would not have made this special call, which was not in line with her character.
He was about to answer, but when he looked at the contents on the document, he suddenly fell silent for a second and his pupils shrank sharply.
Wang Jinling said, "Of course I'm relieved, but you have a lot on your plate, so you need to be more careful."
"I understand. I've checked everywhere, and no one's following me." For some reason, Ji Yanghai didn't explain Chen Tinghan's situation. Instead, he whispered, "I'm an orphan whose family has been destroyed. I can't do anything except kill people. I was able to survive that chase. Thanks to your help, I'm still alive today.
This skill is destined to serve you. No matter what trouble you have, I can solve it for you. On the contrary, no matter what trouble you have, I will not let it have anything to do with you."
Wang Jinling said, "I'm relieved about you, but I'm worried about him. Who knows what kind of trouble he might get up to? Especially during this time when you're back home 'visiting relatives', he's an unstable factor."
"What do you want me to do?" Ji Yanghai asked.
"I've prepared a new identity for you, as well as a sum of money. This is a generous sum, enough for you to use for a long time, even more than enough to start a business. If it's not enough later, there's always more."
Ji Yanghai said, "Are you leaving Wanghai?"
"You can go abroad or go further south, either is fine," said Wang Jinling.
Ji Yanghai was silent for a long time, then said, "I understand."
"What are you worried about?" Wang Jinling asked with concern. "Are you worried that I might surpass you?"
The subtext of this sentence is: If you are worried that I will be like my scumbag father, who will burn bridges after crossing them and do harm to you, then there is no need to worry.
"Of course not. If I doubted you, I wouldn't have joined your sect in the first place." Ji Yanghai said with some regret, "It's just that the situation is not good now. If I leave, I don't know when I can come back."
"You've been educated and learned countless skills. You'll be able to thrive and enjoy life wherever you go," Wang Jinling said. "Besides, our enemy isn't the so-called 'situation,' but Wang Kai. When everything settles, or when I need you, there's no reason why I can't come back."
"I understand." Ji Yanghai agreed.
Putting away his phone, Ji Yanghai lit a fire and ignited the documents. When the flames rose to the point of burning his hands, he casually threw them into the air. He fell back onto the stairs and could see a cloud of embers drifting outward, as well as the sparse starry sky above him.
The content of the document is not complicated. It is about what really happened to Teacher Liu and who did it.
This was the truth, the facts, clear and undeniable, leaving no room for argument. Ji Yanghai tried to deconstruct it, to excuse it, to look at the problem from a different angle, but this was the answer he got. No matter how he thought about it, he already had the answer in his heart.
Is this his destiny? Is there really such a thing as fate in this world?
"Human beings are such sons of bitches." Ji Yanghai suddenly cursed, got up and went downstairs, got on his motorcycle, and sped all the way to Zhonglou Street, where a middleman had been waiting for a long time.
This place is dirty and messy, with potholes all over the streets filled with sewage. The rumors about this place are enough to make a child stop crying. There are all kinds of evil things such as trading, murder, robbery, and infringement. Even though Wanghai has ushered in a new era, this place is still daunting.
But Ji Yanghai was not prepared at all and stepped into this place with empty hands. It was not because he was reckless, confident or trusted this place, but because of an idea that was close to giving up on himself.
He hoped that the young lady would be like Wang Kai, who would turn against his fellow criminals and send someone to bury him here.
Unfortunately, no, he successfully took away a backpack, which contained a huge sum of money as promised.
Ji Yanghai squatted on the ground, holding his head in pain, howling in an empty corner.
