At the same time, Ji Shiting arrived in Yang City.
The man’s face sank, and he drove fast. Old Yuan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, was a bit afraid. He said half-jokingly, “Mr. Ji, are you going to die with me?”
“Dream on,” Ji Shiting said expressionlessly.
“That’s true. That’s true.” Old Yuan chuckled. “Mr. Ji, I didn’t do it on purpose. I, Old Yuan, have been doing well in the triads all my life because I’m cautious. Which of those big shots are easy to get along with? They might seem to be on the same side, but in reality, they’re all very cautious of you. Otherwise, why would anyone want to kill you after Jing Zhiyuan fell? Actually, I still don’t know which big shot gave the order, but it’s obvious that they think you’re a threat. I agreed to let you go because I’m softhearted. Of course, I can’t let you go back like this. Otherwise, I’ll be in deep trouble.”
“How long are you going to lock me up?” Ji Shiting asked.
However, Old Yuan was very shameless. “After the storm passes, I just want to protect the Qingfeng Gang. This isn’t an unreasonable request, right? I’m in danger now because I saved you. Mr. Ji, you’re not the kind of person who doesn’t want to repay favors, right?”
Ji Shiting smiled and sneered.
“You’re willing to risk saving me because I can bring you benefits,” he said coldly.
“But it’s true that Old Liang and I saved you.” Old Yuan chuckled. “I don’t want to oppose you at all, Mr. Ji.”
Thus, Old Yuan realized that Ji Shiting really wanted to return to Yang City, so he relented even if he wasn’t willing. If he became enemies with Ji Shiting, his goal would be difficult to achieve.
He had told Ji Shiting so much because he wanted him to cooperate.
Ji Shiting could tell that.
He said, “I won’t let anyone find me this time.”
“That’s great.” Old Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ji. I won’t take up too much of your time. You’ve been missing for three months, so I don’t mind keeping you here for a few more months.”
Ji Shiting sneered and stepped on the accelerator.
He wasn’t sure whether Shengge would really give birth today, but his instincts were getting stronger.
‘Wait for me, Shengge.’
…
It isn’t easy for twins to be born via natural birth, but Ye Shengge still wanted to try, so Dr. Qin arranged for an anesthetist to give her epidural.
Perhaps it was because of the epidural, Ye Shengge felt that it was surreal every time she recalled the day that she went into labor.
When the frequency of painful contractions was at its highest, even the painkillers couldn’t alleviate it. She felt as if all her bones were creaking. The light shining down from above her head was very glaring, and she heard the conversation between the doctor and nurse. It seemed that someone had been asking her to exert strength. She breathed heavily and felt that she was about to faint in the next second. Her vision gradually blurred, and the bedsheets under her were drenched in sweat.
At this moment, she saw Ji Shiting.
The man’s handsome face was filled with guilt and heartache. He held her hand tightly as if he wanted to pass his strength to her. “Shengge, I’m sorry I’m late.”
At that moment, she couldn’t help feeling aggrieved as her pent up emotions overflowed.
“It hurts…” She mumbled. “Shiting, where are you…”
