"Are you saying Qi Yao is not dead yet?" A man who looked to be in his thirties and had a sinister look on his face asked in an ambiguous tone.
The person questioning him was Qi Yao's older brother, Qi Han. He had originally thought that Qi Yao, that good-for-nothing, had died in Country C. Unexpectedly, someone had now told him that Qi Yao wasn't dead. And not only was he not dead, he was alive and well.
This made Qi Han feel somewhat shaken about his previous impression of Qi Yao as a coward and incompetent person.
"You mean you saw him on the day Qi Yao had the accident? When?" Qi Han continued to ask.
"I saw him twice that day. Once was during the handover on the boat, and the other time was after seven o'clock in the evening when he rescued a man from the Longhu Bay warehouse." Lin Jingze specifically highlighted this to Qi Han. Logically speaking, Qi Yao should have fallen into the sea and disappeared at that time.
"Save people?"
"That's not the point." Lin Jingze didn't want Qi Han to shift his attention to Ji Xinghe. "The point is, except for Qi Yao and the person who was rescued that day, the rest of the kidnappers are still lying in the hospital."
Qi Han was indeed distracted by him. "Do you know where he is now? Tell me, what do you want?"
Lin Jingze's tone was gloomy. "I'll send you the address later. I have only one request. I want Qi Yao to leave Country C forever and never set foot here again!"
"Heh." Qi Han didn't say whether he agreed or not, but the two of them had clearly reached a consensus. Neither of them was a good person, and some things didn't need to be said so clearly. Just like how Lin Jingze informed him today, he knew for sure that Qi Yao wouldn't return to Country M alive.
"Also, don't hurt the person next to Qi Yao. Otherwise, even if we have to fight to the death, I will make sure that your Qi family's power in Country C is severely damaged." Finally, Lin Jingze warned with concern.
His uncle said that Qi Han was a vicious and mean person. If he didn't warn him in advance, Qi Han might start with the people around Qi Yao and threaten Qi Yao.
If Qi Han really did this, wouldn't he end up losing more than he gained?
Qi Han on the other end of the phone agreed in a good-natured manner, but after hanging up, he sneered contemptuously: "The brat from the Lin family dares to bargain with me for the price, without even considering whether he is worthy or not."
The influence in Country C was gone, so was it. He had no plans to expand there anyway. Ever since he came to power, the Qi family had begun extending its tentacles into the dark world. Guns, drugs, ammunition, and other weapons were the real lucrative businesses. Clearly, these had little room for development in Country C.
More important than all of this now was his need to deal with Qi Yao. He had previously been unable to tolerate Qi Yao's cowardly demeanor, but now it seemed that his previous demeanor was a facade Qi Yao used to deceive him. In reality, Qi Yao was far more intelligent and difficult to deal with than any of the brothers he had eliminated before. How could he possibly feel at ease?
"Qi Yao is not dead yet. I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Go to Country C and bring back his body. I don't care what means you use, as long as you don't make things worse, you can do whatever you want."
Three days later
Ji Xinghe didn't know that a group of people with ill intentions were coming towards him. After filming for several days in a row, Joyce gave the crew a day off. To be more precise, he was afraid that Ji Xinghe would be tired, so he gave the leading actor a day off.
But since the main actors are gone, why not give the entire crew a break? It won't be long, just 24 hours.
Ji Xinghe's quality conquest level is still rising steadily. Ji Xinghe has carefully calculated that according to this upward trend, it will almost reach two thousand before his time runs out.
This could be considered an unexpected success. He originally thought that the problem that was extremely difficult was actually solved by his unintentional act of kindness. I wonder if this can be considered as good people being rewarded.
The pressure suddenly eased, and Ji Xinghe, who became more active, heard that Joyce was going to give him a vacation, so he immediately pulled Qi Yao, who had also been with him on the crew for several days, out of the hotel.
"When I came here before, I said I would take you out to play, but you ended up spending all this time with me on the crew." Ji Xinghe said embarrassedly while holding Qi Yao's hand.
"It's okay, I like watching the stars work. The stars have to make money to support the family, and it's very hard." The man said seriously.
But seriously, Ji Xinghe felt a little embarrassed. He secretly blamed himself for saying nonsense, saying things like "Tong'er, you are responsible for being beautiful, and I am responsible for making money to support the family." As a result, Tong'er, a rookie and inexperienced in the world, became so concerned that he felt that he was working hard every day.
"It's not hard, not at all. Every day I just pose and walk around. It's not hard at all." It's unbelievable that he, the leading actor, doesn't even have a single line of dialogue. No one knows what the final film will look like.
Qi Yao nodded, but no one knew whether he'd truly taken it in. He'd been interacting with so many people lately, and his progress had been rapid. The basic common sense he'd lacked initially was actually the one he'd filled in the fastest. After all, he was essentially data, free to roam the online world and learn whatever he wanted.
I don’t know why he didn’t tell the host about this.
He liked that Ji Xinghe took care of him like a child, liked that Ji Xinghe's eyes were always on him, liked that Ji Xinghe worried about him, and liked that Ji Xinghe never forgot to hold his hand.
He hasn't figured out the specific reason yet, but he knows that the current situation is good enough and he doesn't want any changes.
"Would you like some marshmallows? They're very sweet. I loved them when I was a kid." The two were walking on the street. Ji Xinghe saw someone selling marshmallows on the roadside and poked Qi Yao with his hand.
Five minutes later, Qi Yao was holding a pink marshmallow that was bigger than his face and eating it slowly. Ji Xinghe was watching him eat with a mask on.
"Is it delicious?" Ji Xinghe asked.
"Sweet." Qi Yao didn't say whether it tasted good or not. He just lowered his head and ate the marshmallow that Ji Xinghe bought for him seriously. He ate so much that he didn't even bother to look at the road ahead. He relied entirely on Ji Xinghe to lead the way.
Seeing his focused look, Ji Xinghe wanted to laugh, but also felt a little worried. "I wonder if someone will kidnap you for a little food in the future?"
The man shook his head and said as a matter of course: "I only eat the candy you give me."
"So good?" Ji Xinghe found that he had been with a man for a long time, and even his own daughter found him attractive.
He was the one being teased.
Oh my god, how could this get better? He wasn't straight to begin with, and now he's being played straight all the time. How can he handle this?
Having grown up like this, and after having experienced the perverts like Zhao Zhen, Zhou Minghui, and Lin Jingze, he had given up hope and no longer held any beautiful hopes for love. However, only Ji Xinghe knew that the little flame of his love seemed to be showing signs of rekindling.
But looking at Tong'er, who was still eating marshmallows, he felt that his thoughts were quite criminal. Ji Xinghe, are you a beast or worse than a beast? How could you have any thoughts about Tong'er, who knew nothing?
As expected, I'm a beast. I've fallen. Wait, could it be that I've been infected by the perverted perverts in this world?
Ji Xinghe was repenting as he walked, so he didn't hear Qi Yao talking to him except for looking at the road.
"Xingxing, what are you thinking about?" Qi Yao poked Ji Xinghe's soft cheek with the finger that was free from eating the marshmallow.
Ji Xinghe came back to his senses instantly and said perfunctorily: "I'm wondering where we should go next."
"Well, I'll help you think about it." The host had a secret, but didn't tell him. Unhappy.
Ji Xinghe adjusted his mentality quickly. After thinking about it for a long time but couldn't come up with any results, he simply stopped thinking about it and let things take their course.
If liking someone can really be controlled, then it’s not liking them anymore. No matter how much he thinks about it, it’s useless. Let things be as they are.
I have to say that Ji Xinghe has a bit of an ostrich mentality in this matter.
Ji Xinghe and Qi Yao didn't actually go anywhere for the rest of the day, just wandering around the hotel to relax. As the sky darkened and they walked towards the hotel together, they felt a sense of peace and tranquility under the streetlights.
At night, Ji Xinghe said goodnight to Qi Yao as usual and went back to his room to rest. But in the middle of the night, Qi Yao, who should have been sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes.
Someone was secretly taking pictures of the stars today.
Yesterday, someone entered the city and took up residence in a house across from the hotel. Eleven of them, eight of whom had been following him and Ji Xinghe today, while three remained at the villa. All eleven were citizens of Country M, having entered illegally through a foreign war zone.
The person who notified them to come was Qi Nianqi, Qi Yao's cousin. Qi Nianqi's account had a large sum of money from an unknown source, which was transferred to him by Qi Feng through an unowned account. Qi Feng was the one who had drowned Qi Yao and was a subordinate of Qi Yao's older brother Qi Han.
So the person who took pictures of the stars today was Qi Han.
Why did Qi Han secretly photograph the stars? Did he want to do something to them? Why did someone always want to touch his human?
Qi Yao, who forgot to include himself in the whole process, felt very unhappy.
"What am I supposed to do at this time?"
Ji Xinghe told him to learn to think and make decisions on his own when encountering problems. He originally wanted to deepen Qi Yao's self-awareness, but unexpectedly Qi Yao understood it as allowing him to act on his own.
"What should I do? There are always humans trying to snatch the stars from me." Qi Yao lay on the bed, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling, trying to find the answer on the Internet.
A few minutes later, he found the answer. After feeling that this plan was feasible and permanent, he sat up from the bed, changed his clothes, opened the door and left.
"Is there any movement over there?" Across from the hotel, in a room whose window faced the window of Ji Xinghe and Qi Yao's suite, several people were sitting together. Several of them had scars and tattoos all over their exposed skin, and the smell of gunpowder had not yet dissipated from their bodies. They were a group of mercenaries who specialized in doing things for money.
Their motto was to take money and help others avoid disasters. Furthermore, their employer was exceptionally generous, so they couldn't resist the temptation and ventured into Country C, a forbidden land for mercenaries.
"Nothing's happening. I've been following them all day and haven't been spotted." One of the men observing through binoculars said, "If necessary, we can start with the person next to the target. I'm guessing they're lovers."
"Okay, let's do as you say. This time we have to make as little noise as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to get away."
Several people began to discuss the specific time of action.
Before he could finish, he heard someone knocking on the door, and everyone in the room became alert instantly.
"who?"
“Property.”
The author has something to say: After Tong'er mastered the entire book "The Evil Master: Where Can My Naughty Wife Escape", he felt that he was good enough.
