Ji Shiting knew that he should leave, but he couldn’t bear to let go of her hand.
He couldn’t be by her side when she was at her most difficult time. No matter how many reasons he had, he couldn’t make up for it.
Sister Xiu, who was lying on the sofa, seemed to be waking up. Ji Shiting put Ye Shengge’s hand back under the covers, kissed her eyes, and left.
Old Yuan was still the only one outside.
The woman was resting, and the medical staff wouldn’t disturb her easily. However, Old Yuan was relieved to see him come out and said, “Let’s go.”
Ji Shiting didn’t move. He said, “I’ll go to the nursery room.”
“No! There must be a nurse there. Can you still leave if you’re found?” Old Yuan lowered his voice. “Please, Mr. Ji. You don’t care whether Qingfeng Gang is dead or alive but you have to think about Old Liang, right? Besides, what if someone finds out that you’re still alive and they can’t touch you and take revenge on the child?”
Ji Shiting gave up on that idea after hearing his words.
He pulled down his hood and said, “Let’s go.”
Ji Shiting was still driving on the way back, but he was colder and gloomier than before.
Old Yuan didn’t even dare speak to him.
Fortunately, Ji Shiting seemed to have calmed down halfway.
“You should know that even if I can’t show my face and let others know that I’m still alive, I don’t have to stay in your the Qingfeng Gang,” he said coldly.
“Of course,” Old Yuan said with a smile. “It’s indeed unkind of me to insist on you staying, but there’s no choice. We didn’t trust each other at first, and I was afraid that you would implicate us. If you were willing to cooperate, Mr. Ji, I wouldn’t have treated you like before.”
Ji Shiting sneered, “How far is Jing Zhiyuan’s case going?”
“He’s so stubborn. He took responsibility for everything, and he didn’t implicate anyone, not the underlings or superiors. I heard that he has a daughter, and he probably doesn’t dare to be stubborn because he wants his daughter to live better.” Old Yuan sighed. “But this is bad news for us, especially for you.”
Of course, Ji Shiting was aware of that.
When he chose to take down Jing Zhiyuan in this way, he knew that would definitely arouse the fear of others, which was why he had been very careful from the start. It would be best if he could escape unscathed, but if not… he was prepared to handle it well too.
“Jing Zhiyuan’s case is like a demon mirror. Even if we can’t get a handle on them, it’s enough to expose them.” Ji Shiting sneered. “Someone will worry about this.”
Some things wouldn’t end so easily after starting. Besides, given Jiang Yu’s personality, he wouldn’t let it go.
Old Yuan clicked his tongue and said, “No wonder you’re not in a hurry.”
“But that doesn’t mean we can’t do anything,” Ji Shiting said. “I need enough information.”
“Li City is just a temporary base. We’ll change locations immediately. I guarantee you’ll have a comfortable life, Mr. Ji. You can use the phone or Internet as you please.” Old Yuan was very reasonable. Since the two of them had reached an agreement to cooperate, he needed to give Ji Shiting enough trust. “By the way, what business do you think the Qingfeng Gang should do in the upcoming transition? Speaking of which, are you willing to cooperate with me? You can invest in technology.”
