Chapter 124 Are you Xiao 9?
Jiang Zhi's thoughts were brought back to reality by Shang Yanjing's warm embrace. Her heartbeat quickened, yet she felt a sense of relief. Shang Yanjing's embrace was like a wall, blocking the wind and rain from the outside world and allowing her to temporarily forget the fear brought by the fire.
"I... I'm fine." Jiang Zhi's voice was a little trembling, and she tried to make herself sound normal.
Shang Yanjing didn't say anything, he just picked her up.
"I'll sleep with you."
"No, no need."
The words have not yet fallen.
Shang Yanjing had already laid her down on the bed.
Subsequently.
It's that warm embrace.
She simply didn't struggle.
She was afraid of such nights.
My mind was going back and forth, but I couldn't figure out who would do this.
I always feel like someone is controlling everything behind me.
The man's arms held her tightly in his embrace.
Jiang Zhi was a little out of breath.
But she knew that she didn't dislike it.
The pendulum of time tells the time on time.
Jiang Zhi lost the desire to sleep.
"What are you thinking about?"
"It's just...something happened in the past."
Shang Yanjing frowned slightly. He could feel the slight trembling of Jiang Zhi's body and the uneasiness hidden in her voice.
He gently loosened his arms and looked at her tenderly, trying to find the answer in her eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" he asked softly, his voice full of concern.
Jiang Zhi took a deep breath. She knew Shang Yanjing was trustworthy, so she began to tell the story of that long-forgotten memory, about the boy named Xiaojiu and how she tried to save him and his mother.
Shang Yanjing listened quietly, his eyes changing with Jiang Zhi's narration, becoming softer and softer.
"Do you remember him?"
"I remember..." Jiang Zhi was stunned for a few seconds. After all, it happened when she was a child, and she was not afraid of being exposed.
And, Xiaojiu.
This name has nothing to do with Shang Yanjing.
But she never dreamed of it.
The person he was talking about was the one in front of him.
"Just remember."
Jiang Zhi's eyebrows curved, and she looked up at him for several seconds.
What does this mean?
Shang Yanjing reached out and touched her head, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Could it be that he recognized her?
"Shang Yanjing...you..."
Forget it.
How could he be.
"Nothing." She lowered her head and closed her eyes.
My head is dizzy.
It feels a bit painful.
Sudden.
After she finished, Shang Yanjing asked, "Were you scared at that time?"
Jiang Zhi was slightly stunned. When she opened her eyes again, tears flashed in her eyes. "I just did what I thought was right. There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just... not how he is now, whether he is living well with his mother in some corner of this world, or... my mother and I didn't save him at all."
He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Jiang Zhi's eyes, "Jiang Zhi, he is now..."
Right in front of you, alive and well.
From then on, life had hope.
The only thing he regretted was that he didn't appear earlier when she was Jiang Zhi.
"Whether it's good or not, it's his own choice. But I think he will be fine."
Their eyes met, and their hearts seemed closer at this moment.
Shang Yanjing's voice was low and firm. He held Jiang Zhi's hand tightly, as if to pass on strength to her.
"he………"
Jiang Zhi's heart beat faster. She stared at Shang Yanjing in disbelief, trying to find the answer from his eyes.
"You..." Jiang Zhi's voice trembled, her heart was filled with confusion and shock.
"Why, you thought I was him?"
Jiang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief for a moment.
Shang Yanjing was by his side at this time. Perhaps because of the aura around him, Jiang Zhi felt as if a breath was being pressed down on his heart.
A lot of it also dissipated instantly.
She slowly closed her eyes.
Fell into sleep.
a long time.
"Thank you, Jiang Zhi." Shang Yanjing's voice rang in her ears, a little choked with sobs. "It's you who made me believe that there is still kindness and hope in the world. It's because of you that I want to live."
After saying that, he gently kissed Jiang Zhi's forehead.
Qian Ze found the arsonist in the second half of the night.
He is the owner of this warehouse.
She immediately found the man's home, where the warehouse owner was already disoriented.
"I don't know anything! There are only old furniture and sundries piled up here. How could I set a fire?" The warehouse owner defended himself in panic.
Qian Ze calmly examined the warehouse owner's expression. He knew very well the importance of finding the truth in a case and not drawing conclusions based solely on superficial phenomena.
"Then can you explain why your warehouse suddenly caught fire? And the fire spread so quickly? If it wasn't intentional, what was it?" Qian Ze's tone revealed unquestionable seriousness.
The warehouse owner hesitated and couldn't explain clearly.
"I……"
"I've got ways to know even if you don't tell me."
"It's tobacco... This warehouse is full of tobacco. I originally wanted to dispose of it privately, but the police found me a while ago, so I had no choice but to burn it all. This warehouse is far away from the city, so I thought... no one would know. Who would know..."
At the same time, Jiang Zhi fell asleep peacefully in Shang Yanjing's arms. She had no idea what changes were happening in the outside world.
Shang Yanjing gently covered her with a blanket and then quietly left the room. He wanted to ensure Jiang Zhi's safety and not let her get hurt again.
He walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what happened, he would stay by Jiang Zhi's side.
Shang Yanjing's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Qian Ze.
"We've found the arsonist, the warehouse owner. He doesn't seem to know much about Miss Jiang's kidnapping. Someone must be behind this... They knew he was going to set fire to the warehouse, so..."
Shang Yanjing frowned, realizing that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this.
Shang Yanjing replied, "Go check, Ding Ju Hong Ling."
"Ding... But isn't Jiang Wang there too? Is she planning to burn her own son to death?"
"The more dangerous it is, the more it can confuse people. Isn't this her method?" Shang Yanjing said in a low voice.
He returned to the bedside and looked at Jiang Zhi who was sleeping soundly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
"No matter what you have experienced in the past, from now on, I will be your strongest support. I will never let you get hurt again." Shang Yanjing promised silently in his heart.
"Whether you want to be Jiang Zhi or Jiang Zhi, it doesn't matter as long as you are happy."
It was late at night, but Shang Yanjing's heart was extremely determined. He wanted to provide a sky for Jiang Zhi so that she would no longer be afraid and lonely.
