"So you're letting me go?" Fu Xiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to get up from the ground to face Ji Yan.
Given Ji Yan's personality, if Ji Fuying were really dead, he would never be so calm, so the most likely possibility is... she is not dead.
Fu Xu actually failed. How did that happen?
To be honest, if Ji Fuying really hadn't died, he would feel much more at ease. As for Die Xing, he had truly done his best.
“Fu Xiao, I’ll let it go this time for the sake of Master Fu. But if there’s a next time, I’ll make sure you’re completely alone.”
After saying this, Ji Yan led Zhou Yunshen out of the main hall. Before leaving, he ordered his men to smash up Mingxiao Hall.
Nightclub at night.
Besides Ji Yan and Zhou Yunshen, there was another man, Tang Zhe, the president of the Ji Group branch in Country C.
She is also Ji Yan's assistant in Country C, ostensibly managing the Ji Group's branch offices. However, she actually has other tasks.
"Ah Zhe, is there still no progress on that matter?" Ji Yan's impatience was growing deeper; he really didn't want to wait any longer.
"No," Tang Zhe said truthfully. "The other side is too cautious. Every time they leave a trace, they immediately move their base. I can't find their exact location."
"After hiding his tail for so long, it will eventually be exposed. Let's keep an eye on him."
Tang Zhe nodded slightly and asked tentatively, "I know, are you staying for a few more days this time?"
Ever since Xingchu died, he has developed a resistance to this city. Every time he comes, he never stays and always leaves, no matter how late it is.
Six years have passed; even the deepest feelings should have faded by now.
“One night, I’ll go back tomorrow, and… Xingchu isn’t dead, I found her.” They were all people who had witnessed his past with Xingchu.
Even Zhou Yunshen was severely beaten by him for questioning Xing Chu.
Sure enough, when he heard that Xing Chu was not dead, Zhou Yun Shen still had the same attitude as six years ago, "A Yan, listen to my advice, she is really not a good match for you."
"Why? I want to hear the reason." This time, Ji Yan did not lay a hand on him again. He also wanted to know what was wrong with Xing Chu that made Yun Shen so disgusted with him.
"I spend a lot of time among women, and I'm better at observing them than any of you. She says her family background is ordinary, but are her words and actions ordinary? I think she's been specially trained."
"Why can't children from ordinary families have outstanding performances?" This question came from Tang Zhe's mouth.
“I once witnessed her almost get hit by a car, but she managed to dodge it at the last moment. Isn’t that suspicious enough?”
Ji Yan felt as if he had been struck hard by a harsh reality. It turned out that both the things he valued most in the past and the things he valued most now had such unknown aspects.
Yun Shen is right; he can never beat Yun Shen when it comes to judging women.
Looking back now, what happened back then is indeed quite unbelievable.
How did Xingchu, who couldn't swim, survive in such a vast open sea?
She said she was rescued by a passing fishing boat, but he searched the sea for so long and didn't see a trace of her.
Such a huge mystery, yet he never even considered it back then, only immersing himself in immense grief.
"Yun Shen, I understand what you mean." Ji Yan tilted his head back and drank a glass of strong liquor, the spiciness instantly spreading through his throat.
He then realized his mistake. Yun Shen had known him for so many years; he wouldn't lie to himself.
If he had listened to Yun Shen's advice back then and thoroughly investigated Xing Chu's kidnapping, he might have discovered something unusual.
Then he wouldn't have harbored such deep feelings for Xingchu, and he would have realized his feelings for Yingying sooner.
He sat under the hibiscus for more than four hours that day, and it was during that time that he finally began to understand something.
For so many years, Yingying has always appeared gentle, weak, and pitiful in front of her family.
When he first left Yingying and came to Country C, he missed her every single day, but at that time he didn't understand what love was.
He thought it was just the longing and reluctance between siblings until Xingchu appeared in front of him, at which point he began to focus his attention on her.
Xingchu and Yingying looked so alike back then, why did he overlook that?
Perhaps it was his heart that was resisting, afraid that others would know about his ulterior motives, especially afraid that if Yingying found out, it would damage the relationship between the two of them.
His past timidity made him even more unable to distinguish his own feelings, which is why he hurt the most important woman in his life so thoroughly.
It's too late to say anything now.
Perhaps even on the day he dies, Yingying will still not forgive him.
His emotions grew increasingly agitated, his chest pain intensified, and he drank one glass of wine after another.
His consciousness quickly became confused. He grabbed Zhou Yunshen's hand and pressed it against his face, calling out "Yingying" affectionately.
"Tang Zhe, I can't take it anymore, come here, hurry up." Zhou Yunshen pushed away Ji Yan's head that kept pressing against him with one hand.
He tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't, so he asked Tang Zhe, who was standing next to him, to help him.
To everyone's surprise, Tang Zhe sat further away and refused with a look of fear on his face, saying, "I can't either, and he's staying at your place tonight. You can decide for yourself. I have to leave now because I have to go to the company."
"You're kidding me, what nonsense could possibly happen this late? Don't go..."
Despite Zhou Yunshen's shouts, Tang Zhe finally packed up and left.
He could only lower his head and warn the person who kept clinging to his arm, "Ji Yan, open your eyes and look carefully, I am Zhou Yunshen."
"Yingying, I'll do whatever you say, please forgive me."
Left with no other choice, Zhou Yunshen reluctantly left his female companion and took Ji Yan back to the villa on the hillside.
At this point, Ji Yan was completely unconscious, and it took him and Han Xiao almost one on each side to throw him onto the bed.
"Han Xiao, take care of your own boss. I'm leaving now." If I don't leave now, it won't be good if Ji Yan keeps me here.
"I want to leave too, is that okay?" Han Xiao looked at Zhou Yunshen with a bitter expression. Was he afraid, but he wasn't?
Don't leave him alone!
"Han Xiao, you get paid, but I don't. Remember not to let him escape."
Zhou Yunshen quickly returned to his room and locked it behind him; he didn't want to wake up tomorrow to find a man lying next to him.
The thought of that scene is terrifying.
Country Z, the old Ji family residence.
Ji Fuying received the message from Xu Nuo.
"Boss, Beidou stormed into Mingxiao Hall all by himself and caused trouble. Was this your doing?"
