Ji Xinghe originally leaned on the man and closed his eyes just for the sake of gesture, but later he really fell asleep again.
The man didn't seem to want to have too much contact with Zhao Zhen and his group. After making sure that Zhao Zhen and others had seen the young man in his arms, he placed Ji Xinghe on a flat area at the door of the warehouse.
Ji Xinghe was sound asleep, and when he was put down, his head tilted and he almost hit the box next to him. Fortunately, the man put his palm on the back of his head in time.
Only after he settled Ji Xinghe down did he turn around and want to leave.
Zhao Zhen and the others nearby saw the man's movements and quickened their pace. They had too many unanswered questions in their minds and couldn't let this strange-looking man leave like this.
Unfortunately, when they really walked to Ji Xinghe, they looked around and asked people to search carefully, but they could not find any trace of the man. It was as if this person had suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving behind only the accomplices who looked very painful even in a coma.
"Didn't find it?" Zhao Zhen frowned.
"No, we searched the warehouse inside and out several times. Apart from Miss Feng and the people she brought with her, we didn't even find a rat in the warehouse." The person in charge of the search answered seriously.
"It was just a few minutes, so tell me where the person went? And weren't you guarding here before? You didn't even know someone went in?" Zhao Zhen continued to question.
"this……"
Seeing his colleague's embarrassment, a nearby person who was also sent by Zhao Zhen's uncle to assist Zhao Zhen explained, "Mr. Zhao, this Longhu Bay in the eastern suburbs is a port with a lot of ships and trade. People come and go every day from all over the place, and it's a mixed bag, making it very difficult to manage.
This is probably the reason why Miss Zhao chose this place as the place to hide people.
Many people doing business here have more or less not very clean backgrounds. Dragons have their own paths, rats have their own ways, and everyone has his own way.
If that person was able to hide from everyone so easily just now, then it's not unreasonable for him to suddenly disappear now."
Longhu Bay is a relatively special place in Shanghai, somewhat leaning towards the gray area. It is not surprising to suddenly discover some secret passages or basements here.
With his years of experience dealing with such matters, he knew that the man who had just taken care of so many people under everyone's noses and escaped without making a sound was probably another dragon that had crossed the river in Longhu Bay. It was not something that small-time people like them could understand.
After hearing this explanation, and considering that Ji Xinghe had indeed been rescued, Zhao Zhen couldn't blame him too much. After all, he was his uncle's man, not his own. The man was gone, and it was too late to say anything now. He could only nod to show that he understood.
However, this incident left a trace in the hearts of Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui.
While cleaning the scene, the doctor who came with the car examined Ji Xinghe. Under the supervision of Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui, he did not dare to make any unnecessary movements.
In the end, the doctor determined that Ji Xinghe had only inhaled a small amount of the drug, which would be slowly metabolized. If he was still worried, he could take someone to the hospital for a blood test later.
After knowing that Ji Xinghe was fine, Feng's father, who had been taking care of his daughter, also asked the doctor to check on his daughter.
"Let's take a look. Otherwise, if we leave it alone and she dies, it would be too easy for that crazy woman." Zhou Minghui smiled politely at the doctor. "Doctor, please go to the other car and take a look at Miss Feng as well."
Ji Xinghe was fine, but unexpectedly, Feng Ling's condition was not good after the final examination results came out.
It wasn't a serious incident; Feng Ling didn't even have a single external injury. However, a doctor later discovered that the symptoms of the coma of more than a dozen people, including Feng Ling, were similar to those of an electric shock.
electric shock?
"No wonder there was no sound." Lin Jingze, who had been standing by and watching the show, suddenly realized something. He finally stroked his chin and thought, "It's definitely not possible for one person to knock out so many people at the same time."
The man's goal was obvious: to rescue Ji Xinghe. They acted quickly because they knew who had done it, but that man...
"Interesting. When did a force that we didn't even know about appear in the Magic City? It seems that it is quite powerful." Lin Jingze, who had always disliked Ji Xinghe and was also dissatisfied with Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui for siding with Ji Xinghe, said this obviously to Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui, and his intention to disgust them was obvious.
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly, looked forward, and twirled his thumb and index finger, not knowing what he was thinking.
No, this wasn't the first time. He had the same doubts when he first met Ji Xinghe.
Just as clean and neat, just as silent.
In fact, Zhao Zhen had not given up on tracking down the man who had imprisoned him for more than ten years. As long as he did not confirm the identity of that man, he would not be able to rest easy.
A hunter targeted a little canary. He offered the canary, now wary of him, tempting her with candy, hoping to lure it back into the cage. But the hunter was worried the canary's former owner would realize they had lost it and start looking for the little bird they had raised for over a decade.
What bothered the hunter even more was that the little guy had a noticeable baby bird complex towards his former owner. Even though his former owner had been so despicable, the little guy could still raise his little head so innocently and firmly tell the hunter: He was the best to me, and no one treated me better than him.
The reason why the little guy hasn't returned to his former owner's arms yet is, firstly, because he can't even find his way back to the cage, and secondly, because the freedom and family affection he has longed for for more than ten years have temporarily taken over.
But the Ji family is not in good shape, and the little one will soon be disappointed with his family and kinship. Zhao Zhen looked at Ji Xin and the other two who were standing aside, wondering what they were thinking, and the Ji couple who had just arrived late, and thought with pity.
When it finally lost its longing for family affection, it began to realize that the outside world was not as full of freedom and beauty as it had imagined, but also filled with possession, desire, interest, greed, and countless other negative emotions.
Finally, will it feel scared? Will it want to return to the cage, to the arms of its former owner? And if its former owner happens to come out looking for it at this moment, will it chirp with joy and dive into its owner's arms, rubbing its delicate down against the owner's chest coquettishly?
If this is true, what should the hunter do?
Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly turned ferocious. Clearly, the two seemingly different things, but upon closer inspection, had many similarities, which made Zhao Zhen have some very bad associations.

"What exactly happened today? Tell me the whole story in detail."
After the incident, Ji Xinghe was not taken back to the Ji family, but instead remained in the hospital. Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui were worried and insisted on keeping Ji Xinghe in the hospital for observation overnight. The two, who had once had a good relationship, now looked at each other with eyes that were not eyes, noses that were not noses, knowing full well what was going on and full of hostility.
As for the Ji family members who were supposed to stay in the hospital with the patient, they were eventually driven out by the two men.
The whole day was as confusing as a busy day, so Ji Shian simply took his wife and daughter home, intending to ask his daughter about what happened and then decide what to do.
He didn't have any plan in his mind yet, but when he saw the situation of Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui today, he realized that there might be an opportunity in his hands now, waiting for him to sort out his thoughts and then seize it.
Ji Shi'an's face was very serious. Once he put on such an air of a patriarch, Ji Xin didn't dare to breathe. After organizing her words, she began to tell her everything that happened today.
She didn't dare to lie, because she was not the only one present today who knew everything that happened.
"I took Xinghe to my uncle's house this morning, and after my uncle met him, he asked my cousin to take us out to play. It just so happened that Zhao Zhen, Zhou Minghui, and Lin Jingze also had an appointment with my cousin today, so we met in the deep blue box." This is how Ji Xin saw the whole thing at the beginning.
Instead, Ji Shian was the one who keenly sensed something was wrong. "Cousin? Zhao Qi or Zhao Lin? Do they have such great reputation that they can invite Zhao Zhen and the others out together?"
Ji Xin thought about it and realized that her cousin really didn't have that much face.
But when she thought about it this way, she became even angrier. Zhao Qi and Zhao Lin didn't have such a big face, so who were Zhao Zhen and the others coming for? Was there any need to tell her?
Is Ji Xinghe a reincarnated vixen? He actually managed to seduce both Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui.
"You continue." Ji Shian waved his hand.
So Ji Xin continued, "It seems that Zhao Zhen knew Xinghe before. When he first arrived, he ignored everyone and went to find Xinghe. But Xinghe didn't seem to like him very much and kept avoiding him..."
…
After listening to everything, Ji Shi'an was pleased that Zhao Zhen and Zhou Minghui valued Ji Xinghe, but he was also a little dissatisfied with Ji Xinghe's resistance to them.
Men, no matter whether you really like you or not, you have to learn to find a limit. No man will always like someone who does not give him face and is not kind to him.
Although he was dissatisfied, Ji Shian was generally satisfied. He didn't expect that Ji Xinghe, whom he had thought was useless, would turn out to be the one who gave him the biggest surprise among his three children.
The author has something to say: Little Star: Bah! You are so shameless at your age. If you dare to sell your son for fame and fortune, I will rise up in rebellion. The battle is over.
Joyce was still on her way by plane... (PS: Xingxing's career line seems to be so far away.)
