“I always thought that no matter how much you hate someone, you’re only good at talking and won’t really hurt them. Looks like I’ve really misjudged you.”

Ji Fengmian narrowed his eyes and stared at him coldly for a while.

In the end, she sneered and said, “It’s not easy to only understand now.”

Chu Boyang looked at her smiling face coldly. She was really heartless.

“Have you really never thought that if anything happens to Ji Qing, you won’t feel any uneasiness or guilt?”

Ji Qing felt cold all over. She turned to look out of the window. It was almost dusk and the temperature was dropping.

No wonder.

She picked up the gla.s.s again and took two sips.

“Why would I feel uneasy and guilty? I didn’t kill her. Why would I feel uneasy and guilty when someone dies in this world?” She laughed and said, “What do you take me for? The benevolent Guan Yin Bodhisattva?”

“Because of your selfishness, you allowed her to be taken away. If something really happened, even if she didn’t die in your hands, what’s the difference between leaving her in the lurch and killing her?”

With a bang, the atmosphere in the director’s office froze.

The few people present watched this scene in surprise, not knowing how to react.

Ji Fengmian threw the cup straight at Chu Boyang. Without any deviation, it landed on his forehead.

The warm water in the cup flowed down from the top of his head, mixed with obvious redness.

Some of the doc.u.ments on the table were also splashed by the water. The gla.s.s cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Ji Fengmian was still sitting on the chair with a cold expression.

“Why? Is everything about Ji Qing related to me? It seems like I don’t even have the right to be a stranger?”

As she spoke, she tried to get off the chair with both hands. However, when her hands touched the armrest, she frowned and jumped off the chair.

She walked straight to Chu Boyang.

In the end, Chu Boyang was still shorter. He could only raise his chin, but his eyes were unprecedentedly cold.

He had never seen her as an innocent child who was only ten years old. But now, she looked like something he had never seen before, not even in his imagination.

“Why can’t I get rid of you? Huh? It’s all my fault, right?”

Ji Fengmian looked at him calmly. “In your eyes, will you be completely satisfied if I’m the one being taken away today?”

Chu Boyang frowned. “You’re the one who’s extreme…”

“Then are you talking nonsense with me for the entire day?!”

Chu Boyang frowned deeply. Clearly, Ji Fengmian’s words were more unbearable than the gla.s.s she had smashed on his forehead.

“Why don’t you tell me now what I should do to really get rid of the two of you?”

She stared at the blood flowing down Chu Boyang’s face. There was nothing but coldness in her eyes.

Chu Boyang remained silent for a while before the princ.i.p.al snapped back to reality.

“Ji Fengmian, now is not the time to talk. The wound on Chu Boyang’s forehead…”

“I won’t die,” said Ji Fengmian coldly as he continued to stare at Chu Boyang. “You’re not saying anything, right? Let me tell you, if Ji Qing really dies today, I think you might have to pursue me for the rest of your life and make me pay with my life, right? It looks like you’ve gotten rid of Ji Qing, but you still can’t get rid of you?”

At this point, she suddenly laughed. “What sin did I commit in my previous life? Even if Ji Qing dies, I won’t be able to live a stable life because of her. It seems like if I want to live a stable life, I have to let Ji Qing live.”

No one in the office spoke. All their attention was on Ji Fengmian’s slender figure.

“Then, Chu Boyang, let’s make a promise. If nothing happens to Ji Qing this time, you and her will never appear in front of me again!”

It’s fine as long as we’re strangers. Whether you live or die in the future has nothing to do with me.”

Chu Boyan pursed his lips.

“If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it that you agree.”

Ji Fengmian couldn’t be bothered to look at him again. He turned around and sat on the sofa by the window.

“Director, does this count as skipping cla.s.s?”

Chu Boyang glanced at Ji Fengmian and left the director’s office with a cold face.

Ji Fengmian’s palms were cold and his nerves had never relaxed.

Kidnapping.

She had to thank Ji Qing. This was the first time she had met her.

“Miss…” Uncle Chu glanced at the darkening sky.

“Let’s wait. Since I’m here today, I’ll settle it once. I don’t want to come here a second time.”

Uncle Chu nodded.

They could clearly see the afterglow of the setting sun just now, but the sky suddenly darkened and it started raining.

Uncle Chu looked out of the window with a worried expression. “The rain will be heavier later.”

Ji Fengmian frowned and stood up from the sofa. “I want to go up the mountain.”

Uncle Chu immediately said, “No! Miss, there are police officers on the mountain. You can’t help much.”

“Who said I’m going to help?” Ji Fengmian turned around and asked the director for an umbrella. “I’m going to ask Ye Jingyun for something. The rain is getting heavier and I don’t want to spend the night here.”

“I’ll get it.”

How was that possible?

If she pa.s.sed the bracelet to someone else without telling Uncle Chu, wouldn’t Uncle Chu be furious?

She was already annoyed enough and didn’t want to be nagged by Uncle Chu again.

“I can only go and get it.” She didn’t say much. Then, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the police officer who obviously wanted to stop her. “I asked that person to torture that child for me. He seemed to have agreed. If he brought a child up the mountain, he would have more time. Therefore, that child might be beaten half to death. His life shouldn’t be in danger.”

“Of course, if that child has some brains or if you guys are fast enough, she should be fine now.”

At most, she would pee her pants.

“You have confidence in your brothers, so you probably won’t stop me.”

The officer was speechless.

He stared at the young lady who only reached his waist for a long time.

What the f*ck…

She was probably a virgin.

From the beginning to the end, her words, actions, and even logic were not what a ten-year-old child should have.

Now, she even had such a personality when she gave in to him.

Did he trust his brother?

Of course he believed her.

This girl was too smart.

“I haven’t received any news yet, so you can’t go up the mountain yet.”

“Aren’t you going to the scene to take a look? You can send me up. Are you worried that you can’t protect me?”

The officer smiled and said, “Young lady, goading me won’t work.”

“That’s up to you.”

Ji Fengmian walked past him and opened his umbrella.

The police officer was speechless.

Uncle Chu knew Ji Fengmian’s personality well. He glanced at the police officer and walked to her side helplessly.

“Miss, to be safe, let’s wait until the rain stops. Otherwise, I’ll go up and call her down.”

Ji Fengmian looked at the rain outside and frowned. He turned to look at the police officer.

“There are still residents on the mountain. There should only be a little girl about my age at home. If we encounter criminals…”

The officer’s expression changed.

At this moment, his communicator suddenly rang. Through his one-sided words, Ji Fengmian could roughly understand that the criminal had been subdued. However, Ji Qing had climbed to the branch at the top of the slope and was sandwiched by an extremely narrow crack.

The gap was small and adults couldn’t enter. The tree branches didn’t sound like they could withstand the weight of an adult.

Now that it was raining and the wind was blowing, the branches were shaking violently. One could imagine how bold Ji Qing was. Other than hugging the branches and crying, she couldn’t do anything else.

The police officer repeatedly confirmed that he couldn’t find a foolproof solution for the time being.

Ji Fengmian turned his head to look at the mountain shrouded in rain. After a long while, she said slowly,

“I’ll go.”

“Miss! Don’t mess around!” Uncle Chu was furious. What was going on today?

“I mainly want to go up the mountain naturally. As for Ji Qing, I can only sever all ties with them after I save her.”

She shouldn’t have come here today and gotten into trouble.

—

Ye Jingyun lived halfway up the mountain. When they went up, she was at home and there was no one else.

Before Ji Fengmian left, he told Ye Jingyun about the bracelet. Ye Jingyun wanted to say something, but she didn’t have the time.

When they arrived, Ji Fengmian saw that the criminal had been shot in the leg.

When he saw her, his eyes were fierce, even more so than when he saw her at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Fengmian trembled and a faint smile appeared on his pale face.

Then, she s.h.i.+fted her gaze to the other direction.

When she first heard the police officer’s description, she couldn’t imagine what it was like.

There were stone cracks on both sides of the branches.

Now he understood.

Tree roots crawled out from under a huge rock and new branches grew.

The branches grew out of the crack. It wasn’t a cliff, but the slope was steep.

Just as she had heard, the gap was narrow and the branches were brittle.

The wind and rain hit her face and it hurt.

Ji Qing suddenly screamed and her cries gave Ji Fengmian a headache.

The few of them took out a few ropes that they had found at the last minute and pieced them together. According to Ji Qing’s location, there was only one rope.

The police officer requested for a rope with a serious expression, but someone was in a dilemma.

“I’ve already brought everything I could when I came…”

“Then pull the bedsheets over!”

The police officer flew into a rage, but Ji Fengmian said calmly, “There’s no need. There doesn’t seem to be much time left. If we delay any longer, there will be a few more gusts of wind. There’s no need to save her.”

Ji Qing was the furthest away. The branches had already bent. When the wind blew, the branches would shake violently. It was only a matter of time before they broke.

In the end, Ji Fengmian tied the rope to his waist. His pants stuck to his body, hindering his movements. She bent down and rolled up his pants.

Uncle Chu said uneasily, “Miss, I’ll go!”

“Are you going to save her or die?”

Uncle Chu was speechless.

When Ji Fengmian rolled up his pants, Uncle Chu exclaimed in surprise, “Miss! Why is your knee injured?!”

“It’s fine.”

She stood up and looked at Ji Qing, who was hugging a tree branch and crying. She looked down the slope and closed her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, she bent and slowly climbed up the branch.

Her knees could only be pressed against the branches. With the wound from the rain, the friction of the branches, and the fear in her heart, the entire process was really painful and torturous.

The few people standing on the ground gripped the rope tightly and stared at her intently.

As Ji Fengmian got closer to Ji Qing, Ji Qing could see her clearly.

At this moment, she couldn’t care less about how much Ji Fengmian’s words at the entrance of the orphanage had made her hate her. All she wanted to do now was to escape this terrifying situation.

“Sister Mian, save me… I’m afraid… Ah…”

A gust of wind blew and the branches shook violently. Ji Qing screamed again.

Because of Ji Qing’s scream, Ji Fengmian, who was already nervous and afraid, stopped in his tracks in fear. He tried his best to stabilize his trembling body.

“Shut up!”

Ji Qing was even more frightened by Ji Fengmian’s reprimand. “Sister Mian… I’m scared… scared… save me…”

The rain was getting heavier. Through the rain, she could see a bruise at the corner of Ji Qing’s lips and a slap mark on her left cheek.

It seemed that the man had hit her.

Pursing her lips, she crawled a few more steps forward.

Even without the reminder from the person behind, she felt that the curve of the branch had widened.

She stopped and looked at Ji Qing. “Crawl over here.”

Ji Qing shook her head in fear and tightened her grip on the branch.

“No, no! I’ll fall, Sister Mian… I’m afraid…”

Ji Fengmian gritted his teeth and looked down. He was so frightened by the darkness below that he quickly closed his eyes.

After a pause, she inched forward.

“Miss! You can’t go any further!” Uncle Chu rubbed his hands anxiously.

Ji Fengmian stopped and said to Ji Qing again, “Climb over. If you don’t move, you have to be afraid. If this branch breaks later, you won’t have the chance to climb even if you want to! Just wait for death!”

Both of them were drenched and injured. Neither of them was good.

Perhaps Ji Qing was provoked by Ji Fengmian’s words. After a long while, she tried to crawl over.

She was far away and was closest to the treetops. If she moved slightly, the shaking would be especially intense.

“Don’t be afraid! Come over bit by bit. I’ll wait for you here!”

Ji Qing whimpered, unable to distinguish the rain and tears on her face. She bit her lips and inched closer.

That action was really testing Ji Fengmian’s patience.

When Ji Qing finally approached Ji Fengmian, she almost collapsed.

Ji Fengmian glanced at her coldly and told her not to move. Then, he lowered his head and untied the rope around his waist before tying it to Ji Qing.

Ji Qing calmed down a little. She couldn’t understand her actions.

At the foot of the mountain, she couldn’t wait to be killed by that man. Yet, he said that she deserved it…

Yet, he had risked his life to save her.

“Sister Mian, what about you?”
