In the hospital room.

Yin Qin stared straight at Ji Baijian.

He felt that if Ji Baijian didn't respond to him, he might die from a bloody orifice.

Ji Baijian said, “Ye Taiting didn't uncover any clues nor detected any flaws in me; it's all because of Song Zhizhi.”

“Song Zhizhi?” Yin Qin was again puzzled.

Ji Baijian's eyes shifted slightly.

When he was 18, he almost died in a car crash because Ye Taiting discovered something. Fortunately, that accident completely eased Ye Taiting's suspicions.

However, because of Song Zhizhi's family, Ye Taiting wanted to kill them all again.

He thoroughly investigated many things, but had no clue about the Song Family's situation.

Why is Ye Taiting targeting Song Shan?!

Did Song Shan hold a secret that he couldn't let anyone know?

Ji Baijian was deep in thought.

The sudden silence made Yin Qin slightly breathless. He gasped heavily, “Ji Baijian, finish what you have to say. Don't leave things hanging, who are you trying to suffocate!”

Ji Baijian eyed Yin Qin.

With Yin Qin present, he couldn't think deeply.

He clearly explained to Yin Qin, “As I just said, Song Shan has become a thorn in Ye Taiting's side. Ye Taiting has repeatedly sought to murder the Song Family, and as Song Zhizhi's husband, I'm now a part of the Song Family. Ye Taiting has aimed to reduce Song Shan's power and naturally wanted to kill me. However, in Yanshang Country, he has many reservations and doesn't dare to act rashly, so he has repeatedly lured the members of the Song Family abroad, trying to secretly solve the issue.” “And the Corpse Organization in M Country?” asked Yin Qin, “Are they Ye Taiting's people?”

“I don't know whether this organization belongs to Ye Taiting, but their tactics are similar to his past ones. If they do not belong to him, they must at least have a close connection with him.”

“Ji Baijian,” Yin Qin still didn't understand much, but one point was very clear to him, “Why were you so hasty to act before the truth was revealed? Don't you think that's a bit rash? I'm not afraid of death, because I was born to live cheaply. Besides my mother, maybe no one cares about my life or death. Even if my mother does care, she can live happily even if I die. I just don't understand why someone like you, who is meticulous and thinks through everything, would act before having an absolute certainty?”

“Because I promised Song Zhizhi I would keep her family safe,” said Ji Baijian.

He gave Yin Qin a very clear and concise answer.

Yin Qin had always thought that Ji Baijian, being such a calculating person, should live a long life.

But now he didn't think so anymore.

He felt that Ji Baijian would die because of a woman.

Yes, that one and only woman, Song Zhizhi.

“As long as Ye Taiting isn't dead, the Song Family will never have peace,” muttered Ji Baijian, as if speaking to himself. “This is the only way I can think of to ensure her and her family's safety effectively and directly.”

Yin Qin tsked.

Therefore, it'S true that men shouldn't fall in love.

Once they fall in love, they can even disregard their lives.

At the Commercial Management office.

Song Zhizhi was at work

She only took a fifteen-day honeymoon leave, but she was eager to return to work before the duration ended.

Many people were puzzled.

Logically.

Everyone knew about Song Zhizhi's blissful marriage to Ji Baijian. Their grand wedding made all the women across the country envious. Shouldn't they be enjoying their sweet time together? Why was she rushing back to work? Was she a workaholic? Or was the marriage just for show?!

All were just speculations.

And the person being speculated about, at this very moment, didn't show any difference and sat in her office.

She went home to change her clothes, bought a simple breakfast, and then came here.

There was a knock at the door.

Song Zhizhi said, “Come in.”

Zhang He, a clerk in Song Zhizhi's department in charge of planning. Because she was just a manager and didn't have the qualification to have a secretary, every department had a clerk. Besides handling related clerical work in the department, they also served as her secretary.

“Do you need anything?” Song Zhizhi looked at her.

“Manager Song, I saw you coming to work today and wanted to ask if you will attend today's morning meeting?”

“Has our department had any special issues recently?”

“No, they were all routine matters.”

“Then I won't attend for now, let the supervisor substitute for me.”

“Yes.

Zhang He respectfully left.

Song Zhizhi didn't come to work to deal with work matters; she just wanted to see what troubles her father had encountered.

After thinking for a moment, she left her office.

The moment she opened the door.

She saw Yi Wenhan face to face.

Most people would've gone to the department conference room for a morning meeting. Yi Wenhan, holding his laptop, was heading to the conference room. Seeing Song Zhizhi, he hesitated for a moment.

Song Zhizhi stared back at him.

“Manager Song, you're leaving your honeymoon early to get back to work?” Yi Wenhan ridiculed her.

“The reason why I'm back at work is to suppress your development,” Song Zhizhi laughed, “Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Yi Wenhan's face turned noticeably ugly.

Song Zhizhi didn't want to waste her time arguing with him, so she turned around and left.

Yi Wenhan, holding his laptop, was clenching his fists.

He really wanted to kill Song Zhizhi.

Time and time again, the thought of this woman made him want to tear her apart.

Because of this woman, his life seemed to be filled with setbacks. A bright future that should have belonged to him was completely ruined. He also had to suppress his emotions and live under her supervision.

Teeth clenched.

He didn't believe he couldn't kill Song Zhizhi!

One day this woman would kneel before him, begging him, begging him to spare her!

Even the thought of it was thrilling.

So he always comforted himself at the moment he was about to go mad, telling himself that Song Zhizhi's successful days were just temporary. Soon, she would suffer a fate worse than death.

'Wenhan, we're just missing you,” a colleague suddenly called him.

The maliciousness in Yi Wenhan's eyes flashed.

He strode into the conference room.

And at this moment.

Song Zhizhi quickly arrived at her father's office.

Since Liu Zizhong's death, her father didn't have an assistant. Because of this, her father was short of a person to advise him, which might be the reason he was under such great pressure now.

She walked in after knocking on the door.

Upon seeing his daughter, Song Shan was surprised, “Zhizhi, why are you here?”

“I came to see you and noticed that you have more white hair,” Song Zhizhi joked as she walked up to him.

“I barely have any black hair left, I've become an old man!” Song Shan joked in response. He then directed his daughter to the seat opposite him. Song Zhizhi looked at her father's hair.

It truly had turned much whiter.

After suppressing her somewhat saddened feelings, she asked, “Dad, how is the progress with your IT project?”

“Sigh,” Song Shan exhaled, “The progress is far from satisfactory. Now that Liu Zizhong is not by my side, I don't even have someone to talk to. The others don't understand what I'm saying even when I do speak”

“Tell me about it. I'll see if I can help you in any way.”

Song Shan looked at his daughter.

Song Zhizhi's gaze was very serious.

After some thought, Song Shan began, “The time is pressing, we only have ten days left. Among the people from IT organizations that have signed up from all over the country, the levels of expertise are uneven. I don't know how many top talents are there. I'm currently arranging for a round of tests to select the most excellent individuals to accompany me to S Country.”

“Such selection process can be left to your subordinates. Why do you press yourself so hard, dad?” Song Zhizhi looked puzzled.

“Although these tasks can indeed be delegated, Mr. Ye personally called me late last night. He mentioned that this trip to S Country is a critical matter related to our entrance into S Country's economy. He emphasized that we must seize this opportunity under any circumstances, ” Song Shan said. “Mr. Ye has never spoken so firmly before. His attitude shows the importance he places on this matter, hence, the pressure increases daily. Our country's IT industry is not the mainstream, and our competitiveness is rather weak. After a preliminary understanding of the people we're recruiting, very few of them rank internationally.”

“Is Mr. Ye really placing such importance on this matter?” Song Zhizhi asked, surprised.

Song Shan nodded.

While this indeed is a crucial step to break into S Country's commercial market, it is also a great opportunity. But wouldn't Mr. Ye be aware of the current status of our country? Knowing that we have no obvious advantages in IT, would he really impose such great pressure on her father?!

“Mr. Ye probably wants to give me an opportunity to shine,” Song Shan said. “Last night, Mr. Ye talked with me about the current situation. He holds a positive view towards me but still has to consider the opinions of others. Hence, he hopes that I can create many miracles as a basis for his belief. Furthermore, he made it clear that he is getting old and the matter of choosing a successor is imminent. He advised me to think about it carefully.”

Song Zhizhi observed her father as she mulled over his words.

Mr. Ye'S words suggested quite clearly their implications.

Facing the selection of the successor, her father must be under great pressure.

She said, “Dad, some things are not resolved by bearing the pressure, we aim to do well in the task Mr.

Ye assigned, as for the outcome, it's beyond our control. Let's first see where the capabilities of these

IT experts lie.”

“I suppose that's all we can do now,” Song Shan nodded.

“Do you have a list? I would like to learn more about these people's basic information,” Song Zhizhi asked.

“Yes, it's on my computer.” Song Shan handed his computer to Song Zhizhi.

Song Zhizhi perused the staff intros on the computer.

Truth be told, she was unfamiliar with this field, having had little exposure to it. The only IT genius she could think of… Song Zhizhi bit her lip, deciding not to dwell on that for now.

She and her father spent the entire morning planning. They laid out the upcoming schedule with precision, controlling every detail, even the smallest time points. As for the technical problems, they could only leave that to fate.

She stretched lazily.

“Dad, I'm heading out. Ji Baijian is still in the hospital, I'm going to keep him company,” Song Zhizhi said.

Song Shan suddenly sighed at that moment.

“What's wrong?” Song Zhizhi asked.

Hadn't they just sorted out all the projects? Although the technicalities were tricky, she had done everything she could to help already. Why was he suddenly sighing again?!

Song Shan said heavily, “Ziming tells me that this accident is not as simple as it seems. Ziming suspects there's more to Ji Baijian. I want you two to be happy together. I can see your mutual affection. But, Zhizhi, I only have you and your brother. I hope you will learn to protect yourself.”

Song Zhizhi paused for a moment before slowly saying, “Dad, I know to protect myself. I've made it clear to Brother Ziming. If Ji Baijian poses any threat to me or our family, I will unconditionally side with our family. That's a condition we had discussed before. I am very clear about my stance.” Song Shan pat his daughter's head, “I'm sorry you had to go through this.”

“Why would you say that?” Song Zhizhi laughed, “Actually, I'm glad that we're still together as a family.”

Song Shan nodded and smiled, “Go ahead, Ji Baijian's injuries are not light. As his wife, you should spend more time with him. There's nothing major happening here, don't overthink it.”

“0k.”

Song Zhizhi left her father's office.

Since she was not there to work, she did not need to punch out.

With that, she left the institution just like that.

Sitting in the car, her mind was still preoccupied with thoughts.

She was thinking about the IT project, though they had done their best, the competition seemed stiff.

Unknowingly, her thoughts drifted to her relationship with Ji Baijian.

What will become of them… she really has no idea!

As she was lost in her thoughts, the car pulled into the hospital's parking lot.

Song Zhizhi, along with Luo Xiaolang, headed for Ji Baijian's ward.

The patient room was empty.

Song Zhizhi just stared at it.

So did Luo Xiaolang.

So, Ji Baijian had left?!

Song Zhizhi's face turned slightly pale.

She turned around, heading to the nurse's station. “Has Ji Baijian been discharged?”

The nurse hurriedly examined the computer records and said respectfully, “Yes, he was discharged this morning at 10 0'clock.”

“Hmm.” Song Zhizhi acknowledged.

She turned around to leave.

At that moment, she ran into Yan Jin.

Seeing Song Zhizhi, Yan Jin greeted her, “Miss Song. ”

“Dr. Yan.” Song Zhizhi was feeling frustrated, even though she was smiling.

“Are you here to see Baijian?”

“He has been discharged, Yin Qin handled his discharge procedures this morning.”

“I just found out.” Song Zhizhi replied with a smile.

She was masking her urge to strangle Ji Baijian with a smile.

“Actually, Baijian's physical condition would not have normally allowed for such an early discharge, but he is not an ordinary person, so I let him go. I gave him a lot of advice at the time of his discharge, and I told him all of it, but he barely listens.” Yan Jin was listing, “There is nothing more for me to say, but I need to inform you about something very seriously.”

“Hmm.” Song Zhizhi was looking at Yan Jin.

He suddenly became so serious, was there something wrong with Ji Baijian's health?!

Her previous murderous impulse towards Ji Baijian suddenly evaporated.

“Ji Baijian's leg was hurt, apart from his lower leg, there were also varying degrees of damage on both sides of his thigh, so…” Yan Jin paused a bit, it seemed.

That moment of hesitation almost drove Song Zhizhi crazy. Song Zhizhi blinked, “So, Ji Baijian's has hurt a vital area?”

“…” Yan Jin was dumbfounded.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

Silence was considered as acknowledgment.

“Is it true?” Song Zhizhi asked carefully, feeling like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.

'You could put it that way.” Yan Jin nodded.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi felt like the sky was falling.

They hadn't even consummated the marriage yet?!

Seeing her reaction, Yan Jin reassured her, “Don't worry too much. Considering his condition, he should be able to recover in three to five months.”

“Can he recover?” Song Zhizhi took a deep breath and felt relieved.

She didn't have a chance to enjoy in her previous life. At least, she hadn't taken the initiative to do so.

This time around, she wanted to have a good life with Ji Baijian, a “good life”!

“He should be able to.” Yan Jin nodded.

“What do I need to do?” Song Zhizhi asked seriously.

“During this time, try not to upset him as it might end up having the opposite effect. More importantly, do not attempt to engage in marital affairs as it could interfere with his recovery.” Yan Jin looked very serious.

“Alright.” Song Zhizhi nodded her head in reply.

She seemed to believed every word..
