104 The He Family in Yizhou
Song Wenqi’s voice came from behind. Gu Chen did not stop, as though he did not hear it.
Song Wenqi borrowed the phone here to call his people.
Qinglang had already returned after scouting the surrounding area.
After he entered, he took off his cloak and handed it to the subordinates. He also took off all the disguises he was wearing.
Only then, did Song Wenqi see the boy’s face clearly.
He looked very determined and upstanding, and it seemed like he had served in the army.
Qinglang turned to look at Song Wenqi, and their eyes met.
Straight away, Qinglang strode over.
“Do you have a grudge with the He family in Yizhou?”
Song Wenqi looked up at him and answered bluntly, “Yes.”
Jin Qi stood at the side looking at Qinglang, and asked, “Was the ambush by the He family of Yizhou?”
Qinglang nodded.
Gu Zi, standing not far away, peered over when he heard this. He could not help but deride them, “Yizhou isn’t close to here; if the He family sent people thousands of miles to ambush you, this grudge can’t be small.”
Song Wenqi scowled at him; when he was serious, he looked fierce.
But Gu Zi was not afraid of him.
“You clearly know that there’s so much enmity against you, so why did you still look for my Baby and rope her into this mess?! She’s still a little girl, yet she had to suffer such a shock because of you. Why are you glaring? What do you think you’re glaring at?!”
Hearing this, Song Wenqi slowly turned to look at Lu Ning; she was lying on the sofa, her face pale and anemic.
He was indeed in the wrong.
Hearing Gu Zi’s words, Jin Qi became even more incensed.
“What are you talking about?! She did it willingly! So why are you yelling at Big Brother?!”
Gu Zi straightened his neck and took two steps forward. “She volunteered only because you guys kept pestering her—she couldn’t take it anymore! Don’t think I don’t know that you guys have been calling her; and you kept calling even if she didn’t pick up! I’ve never seen people as shameless as you mutts!”
Jin Qi was enraged and also took two steps forward. The two of them instantly grabbed each other; the atmosphere was charged and they almost broke into fisticuffs.
“Twelfth! Stop!”
“Jin Qi! Come back!”
The two of them continued to hold onto each other, exchanging glares.
Gu Chen strode out and looked at them. Then, he walked over and stood between them; he did not raise his hand to stop them, and only said, “Twelfth Brother, you don’t want to wake Ning’ning up, right?”
Then, he turned to look at Jin Qi. “Even if she did it voluntarily, you implicated an innocent girl in your feuds and almost cost her her life. Does this not matter to you?”
Jin Qi was taken aback. There was a fire raging in their eyes, but they both calmed down and let each other go.
Gu Chen did not concern himself with the two of them anymore. He walked towards Qinglang and patted his shoulder; then, the two of them turned around and went out of the hall to discuss something.
Jin Qi and Gu Zi clearly did not get along; both of them stayed far away from each other, and the atmosphere in the hall was still tense…
——————
Lu Jingzhi’s behavior today was very abnormal. Ever since he went to his room after breakfast for some reason or another, he had been unusually restless.
Usually, he could sit on the sofa for an entire morning. Today, however, after ten minutes or so he would have to jump down and run around; he would run to his room, and after another ten minutes or so, he would come out again. He had repeated this cycle innumerable times this morning—and now, Lu Qing saw him jump down from the sofa again.
“Jingzhi, what’s wrong?”
Lu Jingzhi stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Lu Qing.
“Nothing much.”
“Are you feeling unwell?”
Lu Qing walked over and touched his head.
Lu Jingzhi looked at Lu Qing, his expression unchanged. “I want to drink juice, but Mommy said I can’t drink too much juice and won’t let me drink it, so I feel a little uncomfortable.”
