After driving a few meters, I looked in the rearview mirror and saw that the dozen or so men in black that Mr. Ji had brought had surrounded Butler Ji. I stopped the car, got out, and walked over. After passing through a few men in black, I saw Butler Ji kneeling on the ground, with Mr. Ji standing in front of him.
I could see that Mr. Ji's eyes were red, filled with anger and heartache, and there were faint glimmers of tears in his eyes, but when I looked again, the tears had disappeared without a trace.
Several men in black dragged Butler Ji back to the living room on the first floor. Mr. Ji invited me to sit on the sofa, while Butler Ji knelt directly opposite Mr. Ji and me. Butler Ji looked somewhat resentful, but his eyes were already full of tears. Every time he blinked, large tears would fall, but he forced himself to hold on, staring unblinkingly at the armrest of the leather sofa.
After a long silence, Mr. Ji finally spoke: "Tell me, why?"
It was clear that Butler Ji was trying hard to hold back his tears. After swallowing several times, he finally managed to hold them back. It was thought that Butler Ji would answer Mr. Ji after holding back his tears, but he remained silent and looked down at the carpet.
After a moment, Mr. Ji sighed softly: "Is it because of Xiao An?"
Butler Ji didn't answer, but lowered his head even further. I was sitting on the sofa looking down at Butler Ji, and I could only see his hairline and long eyelashes. From this angle, Butler Ji really looked a lot like Ji Lin'an, especially his long eyelashes and his faint double eyelids.
Wait, Xiao An? Who is Xiao An? Why is it such a coincidence that her name also has the character "An" in it? I turned to Mr. Ji and asked in confusion, "Uncle Ji, who is Xiao An?"
Old Mr. Ji sighed again and looked at Butler Ji kneeling on the ground: "Ji Kang, if you want to kidnap Su Yi for Xiao An's sake, then you should explain it to Su Yi yourself."
It turned out that Butler Ji's name was Ji Kang. After a moment of silence, Ji Kang looked up and said, "Miss Su, I'm sorry, I had no choice. I wanted to save my brother."
"His brother?" I looked at Ji Kang and asked, "Who is your brother? What happened to your brother?"
Ji Kang's face twitched as he said, "My younger brother's name is Ji An. He was in a car accident three years ago and became a vegetable. Mr. Bai and Mr. Ji are old friends. After my parents passed away, our family business plummeted. I never liked studying or caring about my father's company. On the contrary, my younger brother is very smart, so I sent him abroad to study early on in the hope that he would inherit my father's company in the future. However, after my parents fell off a cliff and died during a trip, the company urgently needed someone to take control of the situation. At that time, my brother had not yet graduated, so I had to grit my teeth and hold on."
But I'm not cut out for business. Under my leadership, employees either jumped ship or resigned. Many veteran employees even took their clients with them to other companies. When Ji An learned that the company his father founded was facing bankruptcy, he abandoned his studies and rushed back. Unexpectedly, Ji An really inherited his father's genes. In just six months, he found many lost clients, paid off the loan on the bank card, settled the wages owed to the employees, and even made a lot of money.
That very night of the celebration banquet, Ji An, being young and not a heavy drinker, quickly became intoxicated. I called a designated driver to take him home while I stayed to continue drinking with the other company shareholders. However, when I returned home after the banquet, I couldn't find Ji An there. I called him and learned that he had been in a car accident. When I arrived at the hospital, the traffic police said they had reviewed the surveillance footage. The car was traveling at high speed and crashed directly into the rear of a large truck. Ji An's car was a sports car, which was low-profile, and it went straight under the truck. The designated driver died on the spot, and Ji An became a vegetable. The traffic police said that the surveillance footage showed the car hadn't slowed down when it reached the ring expressway and was frantically honking and overtaking other vehicles. Either the designated driver had a problem, or the car itself had a problem.
But I didn't have time to think about any of that at the time. The clients that Ji An had managed to win back all terminated their contracts after hearing about Ji An's accident, and the company faced bankruptcy again. I took over the company again. With Ji An lying in the hospital, I couldn't put my mind at ease and focus on running the company. By chance, I met Bai Cheng, who introduced me to the products of his company, Tomorrow. After much hesitation, I decided to send Ji An there so that I could calm down and learn how to manage the company.
But I ultimately overestimated myself, and the company soon faced bankruptcy again. Left with no other choice, I sought help from Mr. Ji. Without hesitation, Mr. Ji acquired the company, using the proceeds to pay employee salaries and cover Ji Anzai's lifetime expenses at Tomorrow Company.
I felt I had no more attachments, so I thought about taking my own life. At that moment, Mr. Ji suddenly appeared and saved me, and then he kept me by his side..."
At this point, Ji Kang could no longer hold back his tears. Although he kept his head down, large tears could be seen falling onto the carpet.
Ji Kang's younger brother, Ji An, also entered the illusion. Ji An, Ji Lin'an, could they be the same person? I immediately sat up straight and asked, "Butler Ji, do you know who Ji Lin'an is?"
Ji Kang thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know anyone named Ji Lin'an, but Ji Lin is my father's name and my younger brother is named Ji An. I've never heard of Ji Lin'an before."
Never heard of it... I felt a pang of disappointment. But why is it such a coincidence? Ji Lin, Ji An, Ji Lin An, I don't believe they're really unrelated. But how can I know if they're the same person?
I thought for a moment and described Ji Lin'an's height and appearance to Ji Kang. I watched as Ji Kang's expression slowly changed. After I finished describing him, I looked at Ji Kang with some anticipation. Ji Kang said, "Miss Su's description does indeed resemble my younger brother. How do you know my younger brother?"
