Chapter 246: Chapter 244: I don’t want to be alone, guarding an empty room!

Song Zhizhi was gazing at Ji Baijian. He said he had been to S Country.

What was he doing in S Country?!

Although she had a vague idea, she couldn’t help feeling a bit unsettled.

It seems…

She was always questioning him while he was always silently doing things for her.

Ji Baijian said, “From my understanding of Ye Taiting over the years, his crime scenes were never in the Yanshang Country. He always had a knack for directing it overseas. Perhaps he has his reservations, because even if he were extremely cautious, there would still be a high risk of leaving traces in the Yanshang Country. Ye Taiting has always been cunning and extremely careful. If you think about it, weren’t we always encountering difficulties overseas?”

Song Zhizhi nodded and gritted her teeth, “Then why did you go to S Country?!”

“To catch Ye Taiting off guard,” Ji Baijian explained, “Ye Taiting probably didn’t anticipate that I would take a group of people to S Country when your father was leading the project team there. The commercial loophole in S Country has been filled, and S Country will announce its repair globally today, tactfully refusing national assistance and expressing its apologies.”

“The purpose of this…” Song Zhizhi was watching Ji Baijian.

“Firstly, I took people to S Country before Ye Taiting could make his move. I was safe then, and there was no risk of being found by Ye Taiting I didn’t have to accompany your father to S Country, as that would have been courting death!

“Secondly, I took people to fix the commercial loophole in S Country, so they no longer need assistance from other countries. Your father wouldn’t need to take the project team abroad, so there wouldn’t be any danger to him. While I can’t guarantee whether Ye Taiting will make a move on your father or just use him to clear other obstacles, we only live once, and we only have one set of parents. I promise to ensure the safety of your family, and I won’t let your father risk his life.”

“Thirdly, once the loophole is repaired, S Country would refuse help from other countries. This means your father failed to secure assistance, rather than concurrently failing the project. Ye Taiting can’t use this as an excuse to fault your father for failing in his mission.”

“Fourth, S Country’s trade economy has always been something our country has been struggling to break through. Having access to S Country’s import and export trade benefits our country in many ways, and it would be foolish to abandon such an opportunity. As a descendant of Yanshang Country, it’S only right for me to contribute my part. Now, S Country owes me a favor, and when the time is right, I will repay this favor.” Song Zhizhi stared at Ji Baijian.

Why…

Why did he think of everything so thoroughly?

Is it because he knows more, or with each little consideration over time, it’s shaped him into the person he is today?

Perhaps, it’s because of his past experiences that forced him to think more deeply about everything.

“Don’t feel guilty.” Ji Baijian said, seriously, “I have a higher IQand think more comprehensively than most people. You don’t have to feel embarrassed or feel that you’re lacking in any way.” Song Zhizhi, who were a little melancholic, was now left speechless by Ji Baijian’s statements.

When did she belittle herself?

She said, “So now, none of the people who initially planned to go to S Country will be going, and S Country will announce to the world that the loophole has been repaired? Wouldn’t S Country be putting itself in a difficult position, as it allowed everyone in the world to run around for them, only to cancel all of a sudden?!”

“It might seem a little inhumane,” Ji Baijian nodded, “but for S Country itself, the sooner the loophole is repaired, the less danger they are in. So there is really no need to wait. Also, when S Country made its earlier appeal for global help, they clearly stated that it was because they couldn’t fix it themselves despite not giving up! Now, S Country has found a resolution to rectify the loophole. Although there might be some grumbles from the international community, other nations won’t condemn them. A sincere apology from S Country will suffice.”

Song Zhizhi nodded, Ji Baijian’s points were reasonable.

She never thought about going to S Country earlier, let alone other countries’ citizens. They all thought of it as a fair competition.

Turns out, there is no such thing as fairness in this world. Everyone is just trying to seize the opportunity first.

As for Ji Baijian…

She really admired him.

But she wasn’t going to say it out loud.

She had a feeling that if she vocalized her admiration , Ji Baijian’s smugness would shoot through the roof.

“You said before that you took a group of people to S Country. Did you go with Yin Qin? Just the two of you, and you managed to solve it so quickly?” Song Zhizhi asked.

She couldn’t hide her astonishment when she asked.

Was Ji Baijian a bit too formidable?!

Ji Baijian shook his head, “Apologies for disappointing you, my lady. I’m not capable of solving an international crisis in such a short time on my own. In fact, we do have many IT gurus in our country, but because the hacking community tends to hide their identities, ordinary people wouldn’t be able to locate them if they didn’t want to be found. The people your father found were just…insignificant.”

“…” Song Zhizhi’s face fell.

Ji Baijian, this proud peacock, never missed an opportunity to boast about himself.

“Yin Qin and I have mucked around in the hacking community for a while, so we know our stuff. I asked Yin Qin to help me look for real talents, and we surprisingly found that all the top talents were sent away from Yanshang Country and scattered around the world. Yin Qin spent three days and two nights tracking them down.”

“Were these people intentionally sent away?”

‘Yes,” Ji Baijian nodded, “Qin Wenguo did it. Only Qin Jingxiang knows the true capability of these people.”

“I knew Qin Jingxiang was no ordinary woman,” Song Zhizhi gritted her teeth.

“Madam, be cautious. Qin Jingxiang’s intelligence surpasses yours,” Ji Baijian bluntly stated.

Song Zhizhi expressed her displeasure.

So what if her IQis high!

“Rest assured, I am not shallow. I won’t look down on you because of your IQ ” he assured her.

Ji Baijian, am I an idiot in your eyes? You’re going to look at me with colored glasses?

Ji Baijian was totally unaware of Song Zhizhi’s emotions, he calmly went on, “With our ally’s help, we managed to fix all the potential threats in S Country within just one day. S Country was taken aback. They probably didn’t expect our nation to be full of hidden talents. They intended to fulfill their promise and establish an import-export trade route with us, but I outrightly refused.”

“So you refused just to stop Ye Taiting from stealing the credit, right?” Song Zhizhi hit the nail on the head.

See, I’m not stupid, I’m very clever.

Ji Baijian nodded, “Yes. Everything we do now, as long as it benefits our people, it will be attributed to

Ye Taiting. I won’t conquer this realm for his credit. But don’t worry, even though I rejected S Country’s offer, they promised me that without compromising their own interests, they will grant any of my requests when needed!”

“Ji Baijian, you must be a genius! You actually got an entire nation indebted to you!” Song Zhizhi couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Thank you for your compliment, my lady, but please keep it down. There’s no need to broadcast that

I am a genius.”

“…” She was just making a casual remark

“Now, I’ve explained everything to you. Of course, I really don’t wish to discuss my cause of death from back then. Please forgive me.” Ji Baijian looked at Song Zhizhi, his hand gently holding hers, he said, “My lady, are you now willing to return home with me? I dread the loneliness of an empty room.”

“Ji Baijian,” Song Zhizhi suddenly called his name, her teeth gritted slightly.

Ji Baijian raised his eyebrows slightly.

To be honest, she was really touched by all the silent efforts Ji Baijian made for her.

But.

She said flatly, “You had a plan ready from the moment I told you my father was going to S Country for an IT project, didn’t you?”

Otherwise, how could everything be so perfect? How could everything be so well thought out?

“Yes,” Ji Baijian nodded.

“So from the very beginning when I approached Qin Jingxiang, you’ve been executing your own plan, without telling me anything. You even encouraged me to mingle with that woman, Qin Jingxiang!”

“The aim was to distract them. Qin Jingxiang is not stupid. If she found out that the talented people they expelled suddenly disappeared from their view, she would suspect me. It wouldn’t be this easy to make progress then,” Ji Baijian explained.

Song Zhizhi seemed convinced by Ji Baijian’s reasoning.

He made sense.

Wait a minute.

She couldn’t let Ji Baijian deceive her, she said earnestly, “You could have told me earlier, I could co-operate!”

“I didn’t intend to deliberately keep it from you. I thought that you could deal with Qin Jingxiang and find out about her abilities, so you won’t suffer huge losses against her in the future.”

“Ji Baijian, you knew from the get-go that I couldn’t outwit Qin Jingxiang, didn’t you?” Song Zhizhi was angry.

“Who said you can’t outwit her?” Ji Baijian gave a handsome smile, “You’ve won me over, so you’ve already won.”

“…” Every time Ji Baijian countered her, Song Zhizhi was left speechless.

“Madam, let’s not dwell on these details, as long as the outcome is good,” Ji Baijian reminded her.

“I don’t care!” Song Zhizhi affirmed resolutely, “But Ji Baijian, even if you hid the truth from me for various reasons, why didn’t you tell me everything on the night of our wedding! Do you understand what kind of emotions I was experiencing with you…”

Song Zhizhi blushed a bit.

“I was also experiencing it for the first time, I was overwhelmed with emotions and it clouded my judgment,” he lied.

That’s a lie.

“What about the second day! The next day after you had your fill, you left. Did you ever consider my feelings?” Song Zhizhi felt aggrieved thinking about how he put on his clothes and left the next morning without uttering a single word.

Even though she was the one who proposed the divorce and at that time didn’t want to be with Ji Baijian, she had made a huge decision. But Ji Baijian’s indifference had deeply hurt her, yet now, Ji Baijian was telling her all of it had been a ruse!

She glared at Ji Baijian, so angry.

But Ji Baijian appeared calm, even smiling so charmingly, ‘When you mentioned divorce, it almost broke my heart. Now, by letting you experience my feelings, I find some consolation.”

He spoke of revenge so affectionately. This old fox.

“Dear wife, please don’t mention divorce again. In my time, marriage means entrusting each other for life, there are no words as ‘divorce’. Please respect the duties of a wife.”

Just because she wanted a divorce, she is not adhering to a wife’s duties?

“Ji Baijian, do you really love me?” Song Zhizhi asked him.

“Is my love not palpable?” Baijian raised his eyebrow.

“It’s not that I can’t feel it, it’s just that I want to hear you say it out loud.” “My lady, I love you.” Ji Baijian’s magnetic voice, sounded so pleasant.

Song Zhizhi felt her heart soften in that moment.

She said, “Ji Baijian… No, no, no, Ye Shengheng, I love you.”

Ji Baijian’s face seemed to glow.

This man, why is he so bashful?

She said, “Even though you’re 50 years older than I am, enough to be my grandfather…”

“My lady, I’m only 24 years older than you. The years that disappeared all of a sudden don’t count,” Ji Baijian responded righteously.

‘Well, you still could be my father.” Song Zhizhi insisted.

‘I…” Ji Baijian?s lips trembled.

“You’re just an old cow eating tender grass, and you won’t even acknowledge it.”

“…” He admitted.

“Even though you are old enough to be my father, but…” Song Zhizhi said, “I still love you.”

I still love you.

Ji Baijian laughed.

His laughter could overthrow cities and kingdoms.

Inspired by his laughter, Song Zhizhi wore a blooming smile. Ji Baijian said, “Indeed, Dr. Yan’s words were all empty talk…”

The next second,

Song Zhizhi could feel Ji Baijian getting closer.

She thought, just a kiss wouldn’t be a problem.

She promised she wouldn’t do anything more.

She took the initiative to meet him.

The distance between the two of them remained at 0.01 meters.

The door was suddenly pushed open, “Sis…Ah…Um, I didn’t see anything!”

Bang!

The door was shut again!

The two people left in the room, stiffly stared at each other.

Both slightly panting, seemingly with a touch of regret.

Song Zhizhi said, “I’m going to handle the matter with my dad now. You’ve given me a lot of information, so I know what I should do next!”

Ji Baijian nodded.

At that moment, he asked, “Will you tell your father about my identity?”

“No, but I will tell my father that there are some positions that we should leave to those who are more suitable.”

“Your assistance is appreciated, lady.”

Song Zhizhi smiled, reluctant to leave as she took one last glance at Ji Baijian, then turned around to leave.

Outside the room.

Song Zhidao was standing there.

His face was red, and he looked a bit uncomfortable.

Song Zhizhi said, “I didn’t feel embarrassed, what are you being awkward for?”

“Next time you’re getting intimate with my brother-in-law, lock the door.” Song Zhidao complained, “When I pushed open the door and saw my sister being so forward, how could I not feel awkward?!”

“I didn’t initiate anything, it was Ji Baijian! ” Song Zhizhi defended herself.

“Anyway, you’re not acting properly.” Song Zhidao concluded.

“…” None of your business!

Song Zhidao regained his composure, transitioning to a serious tone, “Dad said something important came up, did something progress with the IT project?”

“Let’s discuss it in dad’s room.”

“Okay.”

Song Zhizhi and Song Zhidao went to Song Shan’s study.

Song Shan, sitting on a luxurious office chair in front of his desk, asked Song Zhizhi, “How is Ji Baijian?”

“He’s good.” Song Zhidhi replied.

“Did you two have a fight?”

“There was a little disagreement before, but it’s alright now.” Song Zhizhi answered.

“Everything is fine now.” Song Zhidao added.

Song Zhizhi shot her brother a glance.

Song Shan smiled, “It’s normal for newlyweds to have some bumps and mishaps. Marriage is not a game.”

“Dad, I know.”

“Especially during this critical period, it would be best if our marital bond with the Ji family didn’t attract negative publicity. You know it’s an important time for me,” Song Shan added sternly.

Song Zhizhi nodded.

In that moment she nodded, it looked like she had something else on her mind but left it unsaid.

“Alright, let’S talk about the more pressing matters,” Song Shan quickly changed the subject, “Zhizhi, go ahead and tell your brother about what happened at Mr. Ye’s place today.”

Song Zhizhi nodded and explained the whole story to Song Zhidao.

After listening, Song Zhidao said, “I can’t help but find Mr. Ye’s approach somewhat bizarre.”

Song Zhizhi smiled.

Her younger brother really wasn’t stupid.

Song Zhidao continued, “Dad, why do you think Mr. Ye insisted that you kick Qin Wenguo out of the Commercial Management? If Mr. Ye truly favors you, he should have protected you at this time, rather than making you do such an ungrateful task. Don’t you think Mr. Ye’s actions are quite strange?”

Song Zhizhi hadn’t expected her brother to see things so clearly.

Just as the saving goes, those involved in a situation cannot see it as clearly as outsiders.”

She had also been trapped in a stalemate, unable to see things clearly until she stepped out of it.. Only then did she realize that the truth had been right in front of her all along!
