Chapter 562 Xi Jiu Has a Child (Part 2)
The little girl tried hard to recall for a moment, then pulled her hair in distress. "I only remember a few scenes of him. It seemed like he was thrown into the river to save me. But I couldn't see his face clearly, so I couldn't find out his identity. In my memory, I seemed to call him Brother Iceberg. Jiujiu, I really want to know whether he is alive or dead."
Xi Jiu's heart beat uncontrollably, and he suddenly felt an urge to tell everything.
But his Adam's apple rolled, and he finally swallowed back all the words in his mouth.
He couldn't tell Ruan Qi that he was the Iceberg Brother.
In Ruan Qi's memory, Brother Bingshan was sunk to the bottom of the river in order to save her. But in reality, the truth was even heavier than her memory.
Not only was he drowned in the river, but his brain was also severely damaged, and he lay in bed in a vegetative state for two years.
If Ruan Qi knew about this... how much guilt would this soft-hearted girl feel?
Ruan Qi had endured too much pain ten years ago that she shouldn't have endured at her age, and Xi Jiu didn't want her to have to bear another heavy burden of guilt.
Let’s keep it a secret for now.
The little girl's mental state couldn't be easily stimulated. Rather than telling her the whole truth all at once and causing her to have an emotional breakdown, it was better to let her remember it bit by bit on her own.
At least that way there would be a buffer.
Xi Jiu's mind was in turmoil, but he remained calm as he rubbed Ruan Qi's head.
"Don't worry, baby. Good things happen to those who are lucky. That icy brother will definitely survive. He doesn't want to die. He wants to watch you grow up happily."
Xi Jiu's tone was normal when he said this, but Ruan Qi felt like something was wrong.
Her eyes flashed, and something suddenly came to her mind——
When Xi Jiu first met her a year ago, he asked her a question: He asked her where she was on August 14th ten years ago.
Because she had lost her memory, Ruan Qi didn't have a deep impression of that summer vacation ten years ago. She only remembered that she seemed to have been resting at home during that time.
But in fact, on August 15 of that year, she had already been captured by Jiang Chunian and taken to Xiaoyao Manor.
August 15th was only one day different from August 14th that Xi Jiu asked about.
Why did Xi Jiu ask her where she was on this day?
Did he have anything to do with what happened ten years ago? Or...did he know her ten years ago?
Thinking of this, Ruan Qi suddenly had an extremely bold guess in his mind -
Xi Jiu was seventeen years old ten years ago.
The young man in the white shirt in her memory and dreams was also sixteen or seventeen years old.
Could they be... the same person?
Once this guess came to mind, she couldn't suppress it any longer. Ruan Qi's heart began to pound wildly, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her fingertips due to nervousness.
She clenched her fingers tightly, and put on a calm expression with all her acting skills, "Jiujiu, you are right. That icy brother is such a good person, he will definitely live safely. It's just..."
She paused, glanced up at Xi Jiu, and smiled, "Jiujiu, although I can't see his face clearly. But that big brother seems to be a bit like you in temperament."
Xi Jiu's pupils shrank instantly.
Ruan Qi's heart also skipped a beat.
Xi Jiu's reaction was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, Ruan Qi might not have noticed such a subtle reaction as the pupil shrinking. But now she was determined to test him, so any abnormality in Xi Jiu's behavior would be magnified infinitely in her eyes.
Xi Jiu's reaction clearly showed that he was irritated and felt guilty.
Maybe he really has something to do with Brother Iceberg.
Ruan Qi's palms instantly broke out in a cold sweat. She felt her heart was about to burst out, and the violent heartbeat made her eardrums rumble.
Xi Jiu's heart was also hanging in the air.
"Baby……"
He opened his mouth and was about to speak when someone suddenly knocked on the bedroom door.
Boom boom boom!
"Brother Jiu, there's news from the interrogation room. Something's not right with those guys. Do you want to go over and take a look with my sister-in-law?"
It was Bo Ye's voice.
The stasis in the bedroom was instantly broken.
Xi Jiu looked at Ruan Qi hesitantly, then turned around and walked over to open the door.
"What happened in the interrogation room?"
"Uh..." Bo also glanced at Ruan Qi standing behind Xi Jiu, making sure he didn't disturb their good time before saying with relief, "Those people from Organization X seem to have been poisoned, their faces are blue. Barkley didn't find anything, so I'd like you to go over and take a look."
Xi Jiu hummed and turned to look at Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi was still immersed in the tension just now.
She loosened her sweaty hands, put them behind her back and rubbed them on her clothes. She said a little slowly, "Wait three minutes, I'll wash my face."
After the test just now, she had some idea in her mind.
Xi Jiu does have a relationship with Brother Bingshan, but the truth is still uncertain.
It seemed like there was no need to rush into this matter with Brother Bingshan. If Xi Jiu didn't want to talk, he must have his reasons. She didn't want to force him to find out the truth.
It's okay, she can check it herself.
Ruan Qi made up her mind and turned to go into the bathroom.
Three minutes later, the little girl finished washing up, changed into clean clothes, and walked out refreshed.
…
The group came to the second underground floor.
The interrogation section of the Eagle Division had extremely tight security, requiring one to pass through six checkpoints before entering the interrogation room. Ruan Qi followed Xi Jiu, accompanied by a group of Eagle Division executives, through the numerous checkpoints and all the way to the innermost room.
"BOSS," the head of the interrogation department saw Xi Jiu and hurriedly walked out of the interrogation room.
The door of the interrogation room opened and closed as he walked, and several screams came out from the gap in the door.
When Xi Jiu heard this, his brows furrowed slightly: "Torture?"
The person in charge quickly shook his head: "We didn't do it, it was those people who were yelling. Boss, these people are a little strange, take a look."
The person in charge said this and pressed the remote control. The wall of the interrogation room immediately turned into a piece of transparent glass, and the situation inside the room was clearly displayed before everyone.
There were three people in the interrogation room. Ruan Qi remembered their faces. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms sent by Organization X last night.
At this time, the three men in camouflage uniforms sat stiffly on the chairs, their faces dark blue as if they were poisoned, their facial features distorted and ferocious as they shouted and screamed.
"We really didn't torture these people. We spent the entire night with them, but we couldn't get anything out of them. They were like puppets, not saying a word. Then, just twenty minutes ago, they started to act strangely. Their faces turned blue, and their words and actions seemed a bit like..."
The person in charge couldn't find an adjective, so Ruan Qi, who was standing next to Xi Jiu, said, "Zombie."
"Yes, yes, yes! They are zombies!" The person in charge nodded repeatedly, "They seem to have lost their self-awareness."
Ruan Qi: "Are your body functions normal?"
"Everything is normal." The person in charge answered subconsciously. After answering, he finally reacted and looked at Ruan Qi in confusion, "Excuse me, who are you..."
Ruan Qi was about to answer that she was Xi Jiu's girlfriend.
Xi Jiu spoke first: "My baby."
Person in charge: “???”
The boss has a child?!
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－－
Xi Jiu: I’ll give you a chance to reorganize your language.
