Chapter 162 -162 Why Listen to Him? Baby?
Qin Jiangsheng stopped pinching and stared at Gong Yu with an unfriendly gaze.
Ji Tian was between them, looking left and right, suddenly feeling like she had just been caught having an affair. She was somewhat afraid that Qin Jiangsheng would spill her secret in front of her brother…
She laughed awkwardly to break the tense silence, “Qin Jiangsheng was listening to my singing practice… and when he saw how tired I was, he kindly offered to give me a massage. He’s actually quite nice…”
Gong Yu’s smile was gentle as he turned a blind eye, “Is that so? He’s thoughtful indeed. But it’s still not good for the two of you to be seen here in this quiet garden.”
Ji Tian tugged at the corner of her mouth, suddenly feeling her mood dampen, “Let’s go, let’s go. Back to class.”
Yet Qin Jiangsheng grabbed her arm and pulled her into his embrace, tilting his head slightly with an indifferent tone laced with possessiveness, “Why listen to him, baby?”
“!!!”
Ji Tian felt a tingling on her scalp. She turned to cover his mouth but Qin Jiangsheng dodged her, and with the height difference, Ji Tian had no second chance. He held her tightly in his embrace, challenging Gong Yu, “If you had any discernment, you’d leave us alone. We’re busy.”
Ji Tian: “…”
Wuhu, there’s no clear explanation anymore.
She looked up at the sky, speechless, not daring to meet Gong Yu’s eyes. It was as if she were in a chaotic scene.
After a while, Gong Yu finally chuckled, “Atian, is this also to your liking?”
This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.
Why did he switch to a more intimate address? Feeling Qin Jiangsheng’s embrace tighten around her as if he intended to grind her into his flesh and blood, she genuinely feared being strangled alive. So, she hurriedly said, “You go first, I’ll explain to you later…”
Gong Yu gave them a deep look and walked away. Before Ji Tian could even breathe a sigh of relief, Qin Jiangsheng leaned in close to her ear and said softly and slowly, “Atian? Since when did you two become so close?”
Ji Tian felt a tickle in her ear and dodged to the side, “A mouth is on somebody else’s face, can I control what they call me?”
“Can I call you Tiantian?”
“… Do whatever you want.” Ji Tian was emotionally drained, her eyes fixed on the direction Gong Yu had left.
Qin Jiangsheng wasn’t satisfied with her indifferent response. Following her gaze, he let out a chuckle, “Look at me.”
Ji Tian’s eyes were dark and bright, like beautiful obsidian stones, reflecting his image at that moment. Yet that still left him feeling dissatisfied. Desire could be a terrifying thing. Right now, he wished that Ji Tian’s gaze would always contain him.
Then he warned her, word by word, “You’re not allowed to go looking for him, not allowed to walk with him, not allowed to talk to him.”
Ji Tian: “…”
Is it too late to call the police now?
She nodded in placation, eager to get rid of him, her heart crying without tears.
How does one deal with a major villain who has suddenly developed a bizarre romantic streak?
“Speak.”
“Not looking… Now let me go, I have a class to attend.”
Qin Jiangsheng finally let her go, and Ji Tian ran off without looking back, calling out to King of Competition in her mind as she ran.
“King of Competition! Do you think this situation is normal?”
King of Competition (ㅍ_ㅍ): “Do you think it’s normal?”
“What should I do then? I just wanted to cling onto him for support, not lead him astray.”
“Heh.” King of Competition expressionless: “Then it seems you must sacrifice the peace of this world, if you dare to deceive him, the consequences will be severe.”
“… Not even a temporary pacification?”
King of Competition ╮(•́ω•̀)╭: “Bodhi Island, you can try.”
He pulled out a pack of batteries from who knows where and started eating them one by one, his expression content.
King of Competition: “Look at you, in your past life you were so caught up in the rat race that you never even fell in love. What a great opportunity this is.”
Ji Tian: “…”
Hah, men would only slow down her sword-drawing speed.
“Atian.”
Ji Tian hadn’t planned on looking for Gong Yu, but she couldn’t help it when Gong Yu specifically waited for her.
The sight of the man suddenly emerging from around the corner startled Ji Tian; she stepped back cautiously, looked left and right, and only relaxed when she didn’t see Qin Jiangsheng’s figure. She frowned slightly: “Don’t call me that!”
Were they that familiar?
To her surprise, Gong Yu just chuckled: “I used to call you that. You’ve just forgotten. Can’t I even do that?”
“…”
Who remembers such things from childhood so clearly?
“What’s going on between you and Qin Jiangsheng? Are you dating?”
Ji Tian was about to deny it outright but then she caught herself. What did she have to be guilty about? So, defiantly she said, “What’s it to you?” and then with menacing narrowed eyes, she added, “I’m not dating him yet, but don’t you dare tell my brother about what you saw today. I don’t want any misunderstandings that I can’t explain.”
Gong Yu’s gaze swept over her face, then he turned and left.
Ji Tian couldn’t tell if he had agreed or not.
Rubbing her temples with a headache, she worried that if her brother found out, Qin Jiangsheng would be the one who’d get hurt…
After two nerve-wracking days, Ji Tian started to relax as nothing happened. Three days had passed since Shen Zhiyi’s disappearance, and the police had checked the surrounding surveillance, finding her last known location to be the school gate, from where she had taken a taxi and left.
Shen Zhiyi’s mother, worried sick about her missing daughter and having forsaken her own treatment, eventually collapsed from grief and was hospitalized. Using the money Shen Zhiyi had left behind, she underwent another surgery, which stabilized her condition.
Logically, Shen Zhiyi shouldn’t have vanished without a trace, especially since there was no footage of her in the city’s surveillance. How was that possible?
And there was Weinan – that silly guy was still helping around looking for her.
That night, Ji Tian logged onto her computer, accessed a website, and smoothly entered the central knot of the city’s surveillance system. If she wanted to find someone, there were really no truly vanished people.
As expected, someone had tampered with the surveillance, a top-notch hacker infiltrated and erased the footage where Shen Zhiyi appeared. Ji Tian’s fingers rapidly typed on the keyboard, entering strings of codes, and after half an hour, she successfully hacked into the hidden surveillance footage.
The footage showed Shen Zhiyi leaving school and appearing in Hei City about half an hour later.
There were four districts there, supposedly belonging to a company owned by a big boss who usually dealt in the wooden goods business, including tables, chairs, wooden wardrobes, and coffins. Aside from the main building in A3 District, the other three places were large factories, so they were built in rather remote locations, unlike the Ji Family’s several conglomerates situated in the prime inner circle of Capital City.
Shen Zhiyi went to the main building, seemingly tracking someone. The man ahead was shrouded in black, very cautious, mostly avoiding the cameras, and leaving only his back visible in unavoidable shots.
That back seemed familiar to Ji Tian, but without seeing the face, she didn’t dare investigate further inside the building’s surveillance since it might cause trouble if discovered. So, she paused the footage from the outside and started observing the other factory areas.
Though they were called factories, they seemed sparsely populated. Workers were seen loading coffins onto large trucks, and as they hefted a particularly heavy one, a corner of the lid shifted, revealing the cold glint of silver inside.
Ji Tian’s eyelids twitched heavily. She made a swift decision to erase all traces of her hacking and exited the system.
The following second, hackers followed the trail she left, but Ji Tian had been so decisive that they returned empty-handed.
Sitting in front of her computer, the wind was howling outside. She shut down her computer, glanced at the time nearing two in the morning.
She stood up, stretched lazily, and prepared to take a bath and go to bed.
Hei City A3 District was not a place that conducted legitimate business—those coffins were clearly being used to smuggle arms!
Bai Family
Qin Jiangsheng was rudely awakened by the ringtone of his phone during his sleep. He glanced at it—it was a call from Mo Jiu.
