Chapter 40
In the next few days, Yin Zheng did not go to the ring match, but stayed in the hospital with Jiaojiao, just like when he was in the chaotic area of the border town. He went hunting every few days and spent the rest of the time with Jiaojiao.
Companionship is always a mutual thing. When Jiaojiao was craving for her father's company, Yin Zheng, as her father, gradually became greedy for Jiaojiao's company as they spent time together day by day.
Jiaojiao has been very happy these days, and the source of his happiness is that his father stayed with him.
Jiaojiao lay clinging in his father's arms, his eyes curved with joy all the time, looking very adorable.
Yin Zheng held Jiaojiao in one hand and a basic mecha instruction book as thick as a brick in the other, and walked to the carpet by the window and sat down.
Luo Andeli, who was running past from the opposite ward, glanced at the book in Yin Zheng's hand. After seeing the title, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "That's rare! I didn't expect you to be interested in books other than parenting manuals!"
Luo Andeli was not exaggerating. Having stayed in the border town for a long time, he knew a lot about Yin Zheng. After all, if such a powerful figure appeared in anyone's territory, it would be impossible not to observe him, right?
After observing for a period of time, Luo Andeli concluded that this was a human who was not like a human.
Without emotions or desires, he is more like a lifeless stone that can move freely, let alone any existence that interests him.
It was precisely because Yin Zheng always appeared to be emotionless that when he picked up a child and took him home to raise, the people in the Chaos Zone were surprised and shocked.
The feeling was like seeing a dead person suddenly come back to life and run naked on the street.
However, ever since Luo Andeli successfully infiltrated the inside, he discovered that Yin Zheng was becoming less and less like the person he had originally investigated.
Although he still doesn't show much emotion to the outside world, when facing Jiaojiao, he will indulge, compromise, worry, feel distressed, and get angry.
And these emotions became stronger and more obvious as time went on and the longer I stayed with Jiaojiao.
Now he has something new that interests him. To put it bluntly, Luo Andeli feels that Yin Zheng is living more and more like a human being.
Yin Zheng looked up and glanced at Luo Andeli indifferently, then lowered his head to rub Jiaojiao's furry hair, and then he focused on reading a book while playing a jigsaw puzzle game with Jiaojiao on the virtual screen.
"What are you looking at, Dad?" Jiaojiao, who was lying in her father's arms doing a puzzle, tilted her head back and looked at her father.
"Read a book about mechas." Yin Zheng shifted his gaze from the book and looked down at Jiaojiao.
"Mecha?" Jiaojiao tilted her head, then suddenly remembered something and took out a small snack from her pocket. She looked at her father and said, "Is this the mecha?"
"No." Yin Zheng took the small ball from his hand, tore it open and placed it in Jiaojiao's hand: "It's another kind."
"Oh." Jiaojiao nodded, holding the little dumpling in her hand and lowering her head to take a bite. After squinting her eyes at the sweetness, she happily passed the little dumpling to her father's mouth, and said happily, "Dad, take a bite."
Yin Zheng lowered his head, took a bite, and rubbed his head.
Luo Andeli, who was standing by, felt a little jealous when he saw this. He looked at Jiaojiao expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Where's mine?"
Jiaojiao, lying in her father's arms, was stunned for a moment. After looking up at Uncle Luo An's deep eyes, she quickly climbed up from her father's arms, ran to the handbag beside her, took out a small dumpling, ran back, tiptoed and put it in Luo An's hand, and said in a soft voice, "Uncle Luo An, give it to me."
Luo Andeli raised an eyebrow, bent down and hugged Jiaojiao in his arms while putting the snack back in his hand. He met Jiaojiao's puzzled eyes and said, "I don't want the unopened ones."
Luo Andeli would not be upset about such a small thing. After all, Jiaojiao was a cub who would even leave half of his milk for his father.
But he was a little dissatisfied that Jiaojiao had not come to play with Yin Zheng since Yin Zheng did not go to the ring competition.
Staying in this hospital is already boring and depressing. The only thing that can entertain him is the kid who doesn't come to see him. In addition, he is already in a period of mental disorder, and his mentality is a little different from usual. It is inevitable that he is childish this time.
In addition to Luo Andeli, another person who was a little disappointed was sitting on the hospital bed. He turned his head expressionlessly and looked at the door that had not been knocked for several days. The thoughts flowing in his iris-purple eyes gave people the feeling that he wanted to tear the door down.
Jiaojiao, who was sitting in Luo Andeli's arms, was holding a small dumpling snack. He bit the edge of the food bag with his small teeth and tore it hard. After tearing open the food bag, he put the small dumpling into Luo Andeli's hand and patted Luo Andeli's chest soothingly.
Jiaojiao tilted her fair little face up, looking at him with her dark, bright eyes. She patted him and said softly, "Uncle Luo An, don't be angry. Jiaojiao didn't mean to forget you."
Feeling the pats on his chest one after another, Luo Andeli, who was easily comforted, raised his hand and pinched the face of this conscienceless little boy who forgot his uncle as soon as he had a father. There was an irrepressible smile in his voice: "You are the only one who can coax people."
After coaxing Uncle Luo An, Jiaojiao curved her eyebrows and shook her head a little proudly: "Jiaojiao is amazing."
"Yes, yes, you are the best."
Jiaojiao was so happy to be praised that she did not disturb her father from reading. She lay on her back in Uncle Luo An's arms, playing with her white and tender little feet, and invited Uncle Luo An to play with her.
Looking at the little feet stretched out in front of him, Luo Andeli slowly put on a malicious smile.
He first grabbed the little feet in front of him, then bent his fingers at the sole of the foot and began to tickle it viciously.
The defenseless Jiaojiao instantly widened his round eyes and then started giggling. He struggled while laughing, trying to get rid of Luo Andeli's hand that was tickling the soles of his feet.
"Hahahahahahahahaha...Uncle Luo An is bad...hahahahaha...Bu Niu Jiao Jiao...hahahahahaha"
Jiaojiao, who was laughing so hard that tears came out, looked towards her father and said, "Dad...hahahaha...Dad, save Jiaojiao..."
After receiving the call for help, Yin Zheng stood up from the ground, strode forward and took Jiaojiao out of Luo Andeli's arms.
The rescued Jiaojiao lay in her father's arms to recover, with tears still hanging in the corners of her eyes. She raised her red and smiling face and complained: "Uncle Luo An is bad. He tickled Jiaojiao."
Yin Zheng's gaze fell on Luo Andeli, focusing on his feet.
Luo Andeli, noticing his gaze, twitched his lips and pulled his foot back.
"Hey... Yin Zheng... Yin Zheng, you're not serious... Jiao Jiao and I were just joking..."
"Dad, Dad, come on!" Jiaojiao, who was in her father's arms, clenched her little fists and shouted happily, "Come on!"
"No... Look how happy he is laughing... Hahaha... I surrender... Are you serious... Hahahaha..."
Jiaojiao, who was squatting on the ground, was tickling Uncle Luo An's soles with her little hands very vigorously, with her eyes curved and her little teeth showing in joy.
Luo Andeli, who was subdued by Yin Zheng and lying face down on the ground unable to struggle, slapped the ground wildly and laughed so hard that tears came out.
While the three were arguing, a hovercraft stopped above St. Vincentian Hospital.
The man who got out of the car was very handsome, with meticulously groomed silver hair, deep black eyes, sharp brow bones, and a dark uniform that outlined his superior body proportions. He had a solemn temperament, and his every move exuded an aura that could not be ignored.
The man walked into the special building of St. Ventherin's Hospital, went up to the second floor, came to a room with a clear purpose, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Knock knock knock"
Yin Zheng, who was inside the door, heard the knock and went forward to open the door.
The man outside the door looked at Yin Zheng in front of him, forced a standard smile, and extended his hand, saying, "Hello, my name is Ji Zang."
Ji Zang, who had been keeping an eye on Yin Zheng and the others, got the news when Yin Zheng brought Jiaojiao to the central city.
He even knew why they came, the results they got after arriving, and that they were able to be admitted to St. Ventherin's Hospital because Hillian Bull had used some authority.
The reason why he didn't come over immediately was that he wanted to observe and see if there was any breakthrough. It was not until he knew that Yin Zheng was looking for a new source of income and had participated in two mecha arena competitions that he made up his mind to come over.
It’s good to be short of money. Things that can be done with money are usually not a problem.
Inside the house, Luo Andeli, who was slumped in a wheelchair with a look of despair on his face, stopped poking Jiaojiao's face with his hands after hearing the name, sat up a little and looked over.
Ji Zang, who was outside the door, met Luo Andeli's gaze and nodded slightly: "Long time no see."
Seeing that this person knew Luo Andeli, he turned his head and saw Luo Andeli winking at him to move aside, so Yin Zheng moved aside to let Ji Zang in.
Luo Andeli, who was inside the room, signaled Yin Zheng to quickly close the door and shut this old fox out: “…”
Yin Zheng really doesn't know how to read people's expressions!
Ji Zang, who had noticed Luo Andeli's expression, stepped forward and patted Luo Andeli on the shoulder. The look in his eyes was meaningful. "I think, based on the friendship between our two families, you shouldn't ruin my plans, right?"
Luo Andeli rolled his eyes secretly, turned around and sent a message to Hillian Bull, asking him to come quickly and take his old classmate away.
Friendship? What kind of friendship?
Is it true that the entire family has been ruined by you?
If we were to say who is the most feared person in the Ji family, it would be this dead fox. He appears to be very serious on the surface, but he is actually more evil than his brother. He has no scruples about putting on the hypocritical skin of the Ji family and taking it off as he pleases. He is a guy with no bottom line at all.
After a friendly exchange with Luo Andeli, Ji Zang looked down at the child in his arms, who was looking up at him, and put on a kind smile: "Jiaojiao, right?"
Jiaojiao, sitting in Uncle Luo An's arms, looked at the strange uncle in front of her and nodded.
So good!
Ji Zang reached out and rubbed his head, then looked up at Yin Zheng who was walking over and looked at him carefully.
Although he had seen photos of Yin Zheng, this was the first time he saw him in person. This man was very tall. He himself was 1.88 meters tall, and this man was a head taller than him.
He has a wheat-colored skin, a crew cut, sharp eyebrows, and sharp facial features. His muscles are very smooth, not as twisted and exaggerated as those of a fitness fanatic. People who know the business can tell at a glance that such muscles are often full of explosive power.
The experience of walking on the edge of life and death for many years has made Yin Zheng full of aggressiveness and oppression, which is far stronger than what is seen in the photos.
But it’s good to have weaknesses!
Ji Zang glanced at Jiaojiao in Luo Andeli's arms. When a person has an obvious weakness that can be easily grasped by others, it is like a dragon with its reverse scale grasped by someone. No matter how strong and ferocious he is, he will no longer have the ability to be feared.
St. Ventherin Hospital is the best hospital in the central city, and the Ji family holds a quarter of the shares. This was promoted by Ji Zang after Fang Xingqiao's accident, who realized that medical resources were equally important.
Although it has never been used before, this opportunity has come!
Now that Yin Zheng and his son want to get proper treatment, they have to listen to him.
This time he prepared two options for Yin Zheng. One was to hand the child over to him, and the Ji family would guarantee the child's future quality of life and do their best to treat the child's illness.
The second is to take Jiaojiao to live in the Ji family until the day Fang Xingqiao recovers from his illness.
In fact, it is not impossible to let Fang Xingqiao stay in St. Ventherin Hospital, but it will be a bit troublesome at the Fang family, and he himself hates trouble.
Also, Fang Xingqiao's illness is destined to be a long battle, one year, two years, four to five years, or maybe even longer.
Under such circumstances, he could not guarantee whether Yin Zheng and his son would stay in St. Ventherin's Hospital for a long time.
Moreover, there are many people with difficult identities living in the building of St. Ventherin Hospital, and there will be too many constraints and uncertainties at that time.
Rather than going through all kinds of uncertainties, Ji Zang prefers to take control of it. Besides, the person has come to his door, so there is no reason to let him go off the tune.
Ji Zang opened his mouth and just as a syllable came out of his throat, he was blocked by a knock on the door. He turned his head with a bad look in the direction of the door.
Outside the door, Cloveford knocked on it, then pushed open the half-closed door and walked in.
Ji Zang was stunned when he saw him, and the hostility in his eyes disappeared instantly. He stood at attention and said, "Good morning, Marshal Kro!"
Cloveford glanced at him and then looked away. He walked straight to Luo Andeli and bent down to pick up Jiaojiao who was sitting on his lap.
Jiaojiao blinked when she suddenly fell into another embrace, then she raised her head and called out sweetly, "Daddy."
When Ji Zang heard Jiaojiao addressing Marshal Kro, a hint of extreme surprise flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he was glad that he didn't have time to say it out loud.
Although no matter how powerful a person is, he is nothing to be feared if he has weaknesses, the person in front of you is different. If you provoke him, he can really drive a mecha to blow up your entire clan.
Someone once perfectly demonstrated to the people from various families in the central city what a warrior is.
The people called Sota family offended Cloverd that afternoon. That night, no, it was not even night, when they returned home to find that their home was gone and the old house of the entire family had been reduced to ruins.
Although there were no casualties, it was probably because the people of the Sota family reacted quickly enough and drove the mecha to dodge, and because Marshal Clo was not as angry after venting his anger.
No one would doubt that Marshal Cloverd did not dare to kill. After all, this "old man" had a lot of blood on his hands.
Luo Andeli grinned as he watched Ji Zang's expression change.
Yo, you know you've run into a tough guy! Don't be scared, keep dancing, keep dancing in front of Marshal Clo!
Ji Zang noticed Luo Andeli's gloating look and gave him a kind smile. I can't deal with Marshal Clo, so can't I deal with you?
Luo Andeli: “…”
He was annoyed by those people who always had bad intentions, so he went to the border town of Sala.
Cloveford looked down at Jiaojiao in his arms, a hint of confusion flashing in his purple eyes: "Why didn't you come to me?"
"Jiaojiao wants to accompany daddy." Jiaojiao's soft voice sounded very righteous.
Hearing this, Cloverd raised his eyes and looked at Yin Zheng, who looked at him expressionlessly.
There seemed to be sparks flying in the air——
Luo Andeli and Ji Zang on the side subconsciously held their breath. Could it be that these two people would fight?
After a suffocating and long silence, Cloveford moved. He turned his back to Yin Zheng and hid Jiaojiao in his arms so that he couldn't see her.
Luo Andeli: “…………”
Ji Zang: “…………”
Yin Zheng stepped forward and held out his hand, his low, hoarse voice unchanged: "Give it to me."
Cloveford held Jiaojiao tightly in his arms and turned his head away, pretending not to see Yin Zheng's actions. He even felt a little aggrieved when he noticed Jiaojiao in his arms reaching out to her father.
Luo Andeli: “…………”
Ji Zang: “…………”
Marshal, your cool and aloof personality has collapsed!
Luo Andeli covered his face with his hands, unable to bear watching any further. He kept telling himself that it must be the fault of his mental disorder! It must be the fault of his mental disorder!
Marshal Clo's character can't be like this!
After finishing self-hypnosis, Luo Andeli caught a glimpse of Ji Zang next to him, and a hint of murderous intent was revealed in his eyes.
This person is from the First Military District. We must not let people from other military districts spread the news that Marshal Clo’s character has collapsed!
Ji Zang sensed his murderous intent: "..."
No wonder the military must send those bosses with mental disorders to the hospital and prevent them from escaping.
The emotional reason is here!
