Ji Mingjing saw Rongrong at the top of the stairs, quickened his pace, walked up to her, and hugged her tightly.
Feeling her heartbeat and her warmth, his heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, finally settled back down.
When he heard Ji Kong say she was asking for help, his mind went blank.
For her to ask for help, she must have encountered something extremely difficult.
Ji Mingjing couldn't sit still for even a second. He abandoned everyone and rushed over with Ji Kong.
Along the way, he considered countless possibilities, but he realized he had only one request: that she not get hurt.
Even if he loses all his wealth, it doesn't matter!
Rongrong was forced to press tightly against Ji Mingjing's chest, clearly feeling his strong muscles and the power contained in his arms. With each breath, she could feel the strong masculine aura emanating from him.
She could feel it; the tighter he hugged her, the more he cared for her.
Rongrong felt a pang of sadness and an urge to cry.
He was just thinking something, and he tightened his grip on her arm, making her feel pain.
Rongrong waited for a while, but he still didn't let go, so she had to pat his arm: "I'm fine, but if you don't let go of me, my back is going to break."
After Ji Mingjing recovered, she didn't let go of her. Instead, she put one arm around her waist and turned her head to look at Gu Chenye: "Third Brother, thank you."
Gu Chenye shook his head: "I arrived late, but Gu Jiu protected me well."
Immediately, Ji Mingjing's gaze fell on Gu Jiu: "Thank you."
Gu Jiu replied, "You're too kind, Patriarch Ji."
Ji Mingjing remembered this favor and asked, "Are all those people upstairs?"
“Yes, they were all knocked unconscious.” Rongrong told him, “We’ve already called the police and an ambulance.”
Suddenly, a group of stylishly dressed young people walked into the restaurant.
They walked straight toward the stairwell.
However, seeing Ji Mingjing and the others blocking the stairwell, the leader of the group of tall and burly bodyguards was quite polite: "Could you please make way?"
As they entered, Gu Chenye didn't speak to any of the staff. He then asked, "Did you make a reservation?"
"I'm going upstairs to find my brother."
The man in the lead wanted to go upstairs, but the group wouldn't leave, so he asked again, "Is there a problem?"
"Call your brother and ask him to come down. We can't go upstairs for now."
After speaking to him, Gu Chenye turned to Gu Jiu and instructed him, "Go ask the restaurant manager if they have a first-aid kit. The people upstairs need medical attention."
Generally, upscale restaurants like this will have first-aid kits on hand to deal with any unexpected emergencies that may occur to customers.
Gu Chenye also gave Gu Jiu a wink.
Gu Jiu nodded in understanding and immediately went to find the restaurant manager, firstly for the first aid kit, and secondly for the surveillance footage.
The fight on the second floor all took place in the corridor, and the surveillance cameras definitely captured it clearly.
The man in the lead felt the oppressive aura emanating from the bodyguards, his eyes flickered, and he instinctively felt that something had happened to Brother Lei and his men!
But the stairwell was blocked, and forcing their way up would likely not end well, so they led their men to an empty table and sat down.
After they sat down, they began to whisper among themselves.
"Boss, do you think that guy in the black coat looks familiar?"
"You know him?"
"He's the president of the Ji Family Group! The magazine I used to prop up the table has his picture on the cover!"
"What's he doing here? Did something happen to Brother Lei...?"
Before the man in the lead could finish speaking, a police siren sounded outside the restaurant. Everyone's expression changed drastically, and he abruptly stood up: "Let's go!"
The others followed suit and stood up.
Ji Kong had been observing them, and when he saw that they wanted to leave, he immediately led his bodyguards to stop them.
A group of people were stopped inside the restaurant.
"What do you mean? You're not letting us leave?"
The leading man stared coldly at Ji Kong.
The next second, his men immediately stepped forward and made threatening remarks.
"You want to fight, don't you?"
"Don't think we're afraid just because you outnumber us!"
The tense atmosphere instantly froze, ready to explode at any moment.
Ji Kong didn't waste any words and directly ordered, "Take them down."
The bodyguards who surrounded them immediately took action, grabbing them one by one and leaving them with no ability to resist.
The leader of the group had his head slammed onto the dining table, gritting his teeth in anger: "You're bullying us! Don't think that just because you're a member of the Ji family you can do whatever you want. Everyone is equal before the law, and you will be punished!"
Ji Kong said expressionlessly, "You're right, the law will punish you!"
Just after they were subdued, the paramedics and police entered the restaurant almost simultaneously.
The captain who responded to the call recognized Ji Mingjing, but he went straight to his junior schoolmate, Gu Chenye.
Although he's a junior, we've fought side-by-side before and have a strong brotherly bond.
"Are you alright, kid?"
"fine."
Gu Chenye said seriously, "Senior, the person has already been knocked unconscious upstairs. Please take them all back."
The captain thanked him, saying, "Okay, thank you."
Gu Chenye said, "It's what I should do."
Soon, a police officer came down from the second floor and said, "Captain, we don't have enough handcuffs."
Just then, Gu Jiu returned, carrying a bundle of hemp rope.
Since the ambulance had arrived, Gu Jiu returned the medical kit to the restaurant manager.
Gu Chenye suggested, "Let's tie it up with a rope."
The captain followed his gaze and his lips twitched slightly: "It's fine."
But the car couldn't fit everyone, so he called a team member to go out and requisition a van so they could get the people back to the police station sooner and save some trouble.
Gu Jiu handed a black USB drive to Gu Chenye: "Third Young Master, this is the surveillance footage from the second-floor corridor."
