Old Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “Mr. Ji, your offer is tempting, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll be safe in three months. I think my life is more important than earning money.”
“If the crisis still isn’t resolved in three months, I can give up my identity as Ji Shiting. Even if I leave, I won’t implicate you. Besides, the Qingfeng Gang can’t possibly be unable to even protect itself, right?” Ji Shiting said.
“You can clear my name in three months?” Old Yuan raised his eyebrows.
“Of course. There’s enough time to get the money back,” Ji Shiting said coldly.
Old Yuan stroked his chin and said, “No. What if you cheat me? I won’t be able to reason with you when you return to being the president of your company.”
Ji Shiting smiled and said, “You can only choose to trust me.”
Old Yuan clicked his tongue and said, “Mr. Ji, you’re being unreasonable. It’s not easy for us to earn some money.”
“I’ll do my best to help you as long as you agree to my condition. Take it as a token of gratitude to Old Liang for saving my life,” Ji Shiting said. “And I won’t try to leave this place in the next three months.”
Old Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Deal.”
It sounded simple, but it wasn’t easy to do it without leaving any traces. However, it wasn’t difficult for Ji Shiting.
Old Yuan was indeed very cautious. He still didn’t allow Ji Shiting to access the Internet, and he asked Ji Shiting to write down the details on paper and let him handle it himself. Ji Shiting followed his instructions.
Old Yuan would tell him about the outside world occasionally.
Ji Shiting then found out that his disappearance had finally been made known to the public. Grandpa Ji had announced that he would be the executive president of T.S. Corporation for now, and he would pick an outstanding successor as soon as possible. At the same time, Grandpa Ji had shown T.S. Corporation a new technological achievement, which gave the shareholders confidence and stabilized the stock market.
However, Ji Shiting didn’t know anything about Ye Shengge.
He knew that the woman he cared about had her tenacity, and she wouldn’t fall easily, but he still felt sorry and blamed himself.
…
Ye Shengge woke up again in the middle of the night.
She subconsciously touched the bed beside her, and it was cold. Instantly, a chilling coldness spread from her heart to her limbs.
She took a deep breath, turned on the bedside lamp and got out of bed.
Sister Xiu was still sleeping on the sofa. Ye Shengge didn’t want to wake her up, so she walked to the study and sat down on the chair. Fortunately, the seat was wide enough, otherwise, it wouldn’t be convenient for her with her big baby bump.
The desk was a bit high for her, which she hadn’t realized before, because Ji Shiting would always put her on his lap whenever she came.
Tears welled up in her eyes.
During this period of time, she looked normal during the day, but she would wake up in her sleep at night. When she woke up, it was the coldest time of the day, and the thought of Ji Shiting missing made her feel dejected and lonely, making her unable to sleep anymore.
Ji Shiting had been missing for almost three months, and even Grandpa Ji had started to suspect it, but Ye Shengge hadn’t wavered.
However, where was he? It didn’t matter if he couldn’t come back yet. He could at least send her a message to let her know that he was still fine.
