It takes a day and a night to travel from Beixia Country to Yanshang Country.
After resting on the warship overnight, they arrived at the realm of Yanshang Country the next afternoon.
Then, Yanshang Country’s ships transported them to the harbor of Jin City.
At the harbor, Song Shan personally went to pick up Song Zhizhi.
Accompanying Song Shan was Nie Wenzhi.
Song Zhizhi glanced at Nie Wenzhi.
Nie Wenzhi also glanced back at Song Zhizhi.
Song Zhizhi wondered how Nie Wenzhi could still manage to smile.
At this moment, she probably couldn’t wait to tear her apart.
Having expended so much effort, yet unable to kill her, she must be raging inside.
She shifted her gaze to Song Shan, “Dad.”
“I was scared to death along the way. I’m so glad to be back.” With teary eyes, Song Shan took hold of Song Zhizhi, giving her a thorough once-over.
“Hmm.” Song Zhizhi gave a slight smile. “Don’t worry, Dad. As the saying goes, those who survive great tribulations will have good fortune. Who knows? I might even accomplish something remarkable and infuriate certain people.”
Song Zhizhi deliberately said this so Nie Wenzhi could hear.
Nie Wenzhi’s face turned a bit pale, but she still maintained her smile.
Even at that moment, her smile was forced.
Why, even at this stage, she couldn’t kill Song Zhizhi!
She had even risked everything, never expecting things to escalate to this point. She had mobilized so many people just to ensure Song Zhizhi could not return to the country. But against all odds, Song Zhizhi had managed to come back.
The moment she heard the news, she nearly coughed up blood.
Is Song Zhizhi a cat? With nine lives?
She suppressed her anger, enduring with all her might.
Song Shan was a little puzzled by Song Zhizhi’s words. “What are you talking about?”
“Nothing. Let’s go home.”
With a nod from Song Shan, who continued to hold onto his daughter, he also noticed Wei Ziming and Ji Baijian.
He said to Wei Ziming, “Ziming, I owe you a great deal.”
“Uncle, there’s no need for courtesies. It’s my duty to protect Zhizhi. The fact that I seldom came home from the army was my mistake. When aunt passed away, I made an oath to take good care of her. Failing to protect her properly was my fault.”
“You have your own things to take care of.” Song Shan kindly responded.
Wei Ziming modestly said, “Uncle, Luo Xiaolang is the bodyguard I found for Zhizhi. Due to my work, I couldn’t personally look after her, but rest assured, Xiaolang will take good care of Zhizhi.”
“I trust anyone you recommend.”
“There’re things to be attended to back at the base, so I’ll be leaving first.” Wei Ziming was not one for prolonged farewells.
Song Shan didn’t attempt to stop him.
Wei Ziming had already contacted his subordinates and, at this moment, departed in a military sedan.
Song Shan, along with Song Zhizhi and the others, headed back to his car.
“Uncle, I should also head back.” Ji Baijian said.
“Baijian, your uncle hasn’t had a chance to properly thank you yet. I didn’t expect you would also go to Beixia.” Song Shan hastily replied.
“Zhizhi is my fiancée, how could I possibly stand by when she’s in danger? But I just received a call from home, my father wants me to return.”
“Then I won’t hold you up any longer. Go report back to your father. You only understand a parent’s earnest devotion once you become one yourself.”
“Hmm.” Ji Baijian nodded.
Ji Baijian left with Yin Qin.
Song Zhizhi watched Ji Baijian’s receding figure, her lips tightly pressed together.
Since Wei Ziming had told her some things about Ji Baijian that were out of the ordinary, she didn’t know if she was looking at him through colored glasses, but afterwards, she intentionally kept her distance from Ji Baijian, and as he no longer lost control, he too kept his distance from her.
His departure now was swift and decisive..
