“He asked about Ji Chi!”
Jiang Junlin leaned to the side, watching them break up with a smirk on his face, in a very good mood!
Ji Chi decided to shift the blame, “Miss Gu also knows.”
Gu Ziyu turned to look at Gu Ci, but Gu Ci seemed completely indifferent to all of this, as if she had no reaction at all. Gu Ziyu took a deep breath. He couldn’t scold his mother, so he could only scold Ji Chi, “You’re done, you’ve offended me.”
Ji Chi laughed, “Baby, don’t be angry. You know everything now, and 1 was the one who told you, wasn’t I?”
Gu Ziyu glanced at his phone, furious. “You told me because you couldn’t keep it a secret. The whole world knows!”
Chen Liangdong also sent a message informing him of this matter. Gu Ziyu was livid. “The old man probably thinks I’m a spy for Lu Zhiyuan, lurking by his side.”
He was even more wronged than Dou E!
As Gu Ziyu’s words fell, his phone rang. It was Chen Liangdong calling. Gu Ziyu was at a loss for words.
My mortal enemy is my father, my own flesh and blood.
Damn it! I’m cutting ties!
Now, there’s a whole mess waiting for him to deal with. Every time Gu Ziyu thought about the harsh words he had once said to Black Hawk, he felt a pang of regret. Pointing at Ji Chi, he said, “You just wait!”
He walked to the side to answer the phone.
“Mr. Jiang, Ziyu is really unreasonably angry!”
Jiang Junlin said indifferently, “You two have always been so affectionate, what’s it got to do with us?”
Ji Chi was speechless.
This was really something that couldn’t be kept a secret. The whole world knew about it, and even Jiang Junlin knew. Ji Chi wasn’t the least bit guilty. Jiang Junlin looked at Gu Ci and realized that his little sister had known all along.
But she hadn’t told him!
She really loved Lu Zhiyuan.
In the distance, the church bells rang, and it was early morning. For them, Christmas Eve was a black Christmas Eve. As the early morning passed, Christmas arrived.
Ji Chi said, “Jiang Junlin, happy birthday.”
Jiang Junlin was taken aback. The light outside the operating room was dim, casting a shadow over his eyes. His hands were in his pockets as he quietly looked at Ji Chi.
This year’s birthday was very special, bloody and dangerous.
Ji Chi whispered, “May you be safe year after year.”
This was Ji Chi’s blessing every year, no matter where he was, Christmas always found its way to him, and he would say, “Happy Birthday, year after year, may you be safe.”
But what about Ji Chi? He had never celebrated a single birthday in his life. He was an abandoned child, adopted by a drunkard, then ran away and grew up on the streets, stealing food alongside stray dogs.
He didn’t know where he came from, where he was going, or who his parents were. He had no concept of family and no concept of holidays.
Every day of his past was a hell for Ji Chi.
Year after year, may you be safe, was his greatest wish when he was young, and he gave it to Jiang Junlin every year.
“Merry Christmas, and may you be safe year after year.”
Ji Chi was slightly stunned, the light in the corridor shining in his eyes. Ji Chi smiled. It was the first time Jiang Junlin had responded to his blessing.
The two of them didn’t say anything more. Ji Chi stepped back to the Black Hawk security team and looked at the operating room.
Third Brother, it’s Christmas.
May you be safe too!
Gu Ci watched the operating room with a numb expression, as if she couldn’t hear any sound. After Gu Ziyu and Chen Liangdong ended their phone call, the lights in the operating room went out.
The doctor came out, and Gu Ci approached, asking the doctor in French, “How is he?”
“The surgery was successful!”
With her heart in her throat, Gu Ci finally relaxed and fell into Jiang Junlin’s arms, losing consciousness again. She had been holding on so tightly. Hearing that Lu Zhiyuan was okay, she finally let go and sank into darkness.
After the accident, Zhou Jinjin wanted to accompany Gu Ci to the hospital, but she was sent back to the hotel by Chen Fei. Chen Fei had been protecting Zhou Jinjin under the guise of being Ziyu’s bodyguard all along.
Zhou Jinjin was alone in the hotel and feeling a bit scared. She sent a text message to Chen Fei.
Zhou Jinjin: Chen Fei, can you come up and keep me company?
After sending the message, Zhou Jinjin felt like she might be implying something and quickly retracted it. She sat by the window, feeling bored, wanting to call and comfort Gu Ci but thinking that Gu Ci probably didn’t want to be disturbed. She was anxious but couldn’t do anything about it. Lucidly, she opened a bottle of wine and had a glass of red wine.
First, there was the attack, blood everywhere. It was the first time in her life she had a black gun pointed at her, and she almost lost her life. She had nightmares because of it. And today, Lu Zhiyuan had another accident.
Some nationalist internet users in China were even cursing Lu Zhiyuan, saying that after such a big attack, the Dynasty Racing Team didn’t withdraw from the race but continued to compete. This was retribution, and winning the championship angered the heavens and brought disaster upon them.
The fans and the nationalists fought fiercely online.
The race cars were completely wrecked, and people were thrown off the track. To them, this terrible accident was seen as retribution. Zhou Jinjin was furious and rolled up her sleeves, joining the battle against the nationalists for hundreds of rounds.
The doorbell rang, and Zhou Jinjin was busy arguing and didn’t have time to answer.
But the doorbell was persistent and kept ringing. Zhou Jinjin put down her phone and opened the door in an irritated tone, “Who is it, making such a…”
Chen Fei stood outside the door, holding a bright red apple. He heard Zhou Jinjin’s curses and hesitated. He hid the apple behind him and said awkwardly, “I… I thought you might be scared, so I came up to check on you.”
Zhou Jinjin gave him a stern look, “Why are you here?”
Chen Fei scratched his head in embarrassment, “I… I thought you might be scared, so 1 came up to check on you.”
After some hesitation, Zhou Jinjin said, “Come in then.”
Chen Fei entered the room, and Zhou Jinjin had booked a room with a view. The room was spacious, and Chen Fei noticed some of Zhou Jinjin’s personal items scattered around, including her clothes. His face turned even redder than the apple he was holding. Zhou Jinjin also noticed it and awkwardly pulled the blanket to cover the items on the bed. She lived alone and had bought a lot of things, so the room was messy.
There were various handbags and boxes strewn around, and Chen Fei, sitting there with nothing to do, silently helped her tidy up. Zhou Jinjin said, “You’re not my assistant, why are you cleaning up? Just sit down!”
“Okay!” Chen Fei sat down obediently. He sat up straight like a sentry. Zhou Jinjin was at a loss for words, “Why did you bring an apple up here?”
“It’s Christmas, and isn’t it a tradition to eat apples?”
Zhou Jinjin thought it was quite ordinary; who specifically ate apples on Christmas? But looking at Chen Fei’s serious expression, she couldn’t help but laugh, “Do soldiers like you also celebrate Christmas?”
Chen Fei shook his head, “Not really.”
“Then how do you know that you’re supposed to eat apples on Christmas Eve?”
“I saw it on social media.”
Zhou Jinjin thought to herself that he even checked social media. Chen Fei had seen Zhou Jinjin’s text message and guessed that she might be scared, so he came to check on her. It was the first time he was alone in a closed space with a woman, and he was very nervous and awkward, even though they had argued and nearly fought before. The hotel room was warm, and Zhou Jinjin was wearing a knee-length dress that showed off her figure when she moved. Chen Fei didn’t know where to look, and his ears and neck turned red.
Luckily, his dark skin hid the redness well..
