Chapter 62 p1
As if sensing its owner’s disgust for that person, Xixi, who had originally been afraid of the scorching sun, suddenly bared its teeth. It didn’t even bark, but directly pounced on that person.
The person, whose legs had been weakened by the fear of almost being shot, suddenly saw a fierce big dog baring its teeth and coming towards him. He was so scared that he desperately kicked his legs back, trying to get away while shouting at the top of his lungs, “Ah, ah, ah, help—”
Ji Yang quickly shouted, “Xixi, come back!”
Xixi’s movements paused, but after so long of training, Xixi was obedient enough to follow orders. Even though it was almost in front of that person, it still forcefully withdrew its claws, let out an unwilling roar, and sprayed a mouthful of saliva on his face before it ran back.
Ji Yang’s mouth twitched. She rubbed the dog that was close to her. “Good boy.”
Although she really wanted Xixi to bite his neck off with one bite, this was the base. In the base, you had to follow the rules. Killing people at will would get you blacklisted.
There was no need to implicate herself for such a thing. There were many ways to kill him.
It was just that she hadn’t expected him to still be alive.
This person was called Yu Zhiji. It was he to whom Ji Anfeng had sold her in her previous life. He had given him the key in the middle of the night, let him sneak into her room, and in the end, she had counter-killed him.
After her rebirth, Ji Yang had also thought of this person, but in fact, her impression was not deep. That incident had not left any psychological shadow on her.
She had never been a person who valued chastity, not to mention that the person who had tried to bully her had long since been counter-killed by her.
Therefore, she had always subconsciously treated him as a dead person.
A dead person was not someone she would care about.
But she had forgotten that after her rebirth, without her, Yu Zhiji was still living well. Looking at him, he was even living quite well, living in the first district, and even wearing a clean white shirt. He was a little thinner than in her memory, but his complexion was still okay.
He was still alive, so she had to pay a little attention.
Of course, the gunshot was just a scare. She was impatient with this person jumping around in front of her, especially with the arrogant look of an elder. It was even more annoying.
While Ji Yang was petting the dog, Yu Zhiji also finally came to his senses. He no longer had the self-proclaimed elder’s attitude. He got up from the ground that was burning his butt and said in a huff, “Ji Yang, are you crazy?! I’m definitely going to complain about you. How can you let a person like you who shoots at homeowners at will enter our community?! No, the whole base shouldn’t let you in! It’s too dangerous!”
“Then what about you entering my courtyard at will?!” Xie Muzhi quickly came over. His gentle voice when he was talking to Ji Yang was now exceptionally cold. “The base has already reminded us many times. In special times, even if you are visiting, you have to get the neighbor’s consent. Did you get our consent?!”
Yu Zhiji said angrily, “Your courtyard gate is not closed! Besides, a ‘daoye’, with a bunch of people coming in and out all day, why can’t I come in?”
“If I say you can’t, you can’t,” Xie Muzhi looked at him with cold eyes, and with one hand, he held Ji Yang and patted her soothingly. “If you’re not satisfied, then go and report it. If it succeeds, I’ll move out immediately.”
Yu Zhiji’s expression froze. He glared at the man and woman standing at the door, but he didn’t dare to say anything.
Xie Muzhi had too many good things in his hands, and the people in the villa area were completely under his control. If he were to leave, he would definitely cause a lot of dissatisfaction. It was just that he hadn’t expected to have come over with good intentions, wanting to ease the father-daughter relationship between Ji Anfeng and Ji Yang, and to have been so humiliated on this trip!
It was really too much.
He said angrily, “You, Ji Yang, I’ve watched you grow up, and I’m your elder. You have this attitude towards me? Your father is still sitting in my house. It’s a waste of my good intentions to want to ease your father-daughter relationship. It’s really a case of good intentions not being rewarded. Believe it or not, I’ll kick him out now.”
Ji Yang sneered. “Elder? What are you? Get lost! If you dare to get close again, it won’t be on the ground next time!”
She played with the gun in her hand and aimed at Yu Zhiji from time to time.
The black muzzle of the gun made people’s hearts turn cold. Even though he was sure that she wouldn’t really kill him in the base, Yu Zhiji still couldn’t help but be afraid, especially Ji Yang’s eyes, which looked at him as if he were a dead person.
Why is this damn girl so strange, completely different from before?
Before, although she was also arrogant and would not answer, now there was always a chilling coldness that made his back turn cold. Could it be that her hands had been stained with a lot of human lives?
No wonder that dog, Ji Anfeng, had asked him to come over as a lobbyist. He was probably also afraid of his own daughter!
—
Feeling that he had been deceived, Yu Zhiji looked at the two of them sheepishly, took two steps back warily, and after confirming that they really had no intention of shooting, he quickly turned and ran.
It was also a coincidence.
His house was near Xie Muzhi’s building, two buildings away, and they had arrived at their side.
When he had run home, covered in sweat, and saw Ji Anfeng drinking his ice water, he was even angrier. He said with a smile that was not a smile, “Brother, that big daughter of yours, her temper is really not small. She actually shot at me!”
Ji Anfeng’s face changed slightly. “She shot?! Is that fake? She actually has a gun?!”
Yu Zhiji cursed, “More than that, she shot directly without a word! The bullet went straight for my foot. If it weren’t for my quick reaction, I would have been gone by now. And that big dog she has! I’ve been so screwed by you!”
He had also been thinking of letting that girl come over, for them, father and daughter, to reconcile, and for him to take a little advantage. It was really that the big girl’s looks were to his liking, especially at this time, there were few who could keep themselves so clean.
He didn’t dare to think of someone from the same district, but Ji Yang, he dared.
Of course, it was because of Ji Yang’s own father. It wasn’t that he hadn’t done this kind of thing before.
“This damn girl is really an ungrateful wolf! She even dared to attack you, Brother Yu!” Ji Anfeng secretly thought that it was not good and immediately cursed angrily. His heart was constantly crying out in bitterness. He was glad that he had not gone over rashly, and he was also so angry at Ji Yang that his teeth were itching. But the most was still death.
He hadn’t expected this girl, Ji Yang, to be so unyielding and so ruthless!
He had been following her all along at that time, for fear of being discovered, and he had even followed from a distance, just to know where this damn girl’s base was. He really didn’t believe that Ji Yang was living outside the base. A little girl, living outside without the government’s suppression, even if she had some ability, she would have been ganged up on long ago.
Sure enough, he had followed her all the way to the first district.
But there was a problem when he wanted to go in. He had not registered here, and no owner had vouched for him. The security guard would not let him in no matter what. He had almost given up, thinking that at worst, he would wait for the temperature to drop a little and come over to squat. He didn’t believe that she would not come out for a lifetime.
Besides, even if he didn’t come out, that group of “daoye” would also come in and out.
It was at this time that he had run into an acquaintance.
The Yu family and he had originally lived in the same community. After the disaster, the two families had even cooperated for some reason. It wasn’t until the base was built that Yu Zhiji, because of the large amount of supplies under his name, had been treated differently by the government and had gone to the base in advance. Their side, on the contrary, had fallen far behind.
Originally, because his second daughter, Ji Siyue, had gotten a lot of supplies, more than half of them had been robbed the day before they had gone to the base. Originally, they had been reluctant to exchange the supplies for points, thinking of waiting for a good price. This time, their losses were heavy. They had come to the base in a sorry state and could only live in the third district.
An ordinary residential building. Ji Anfeng had never been so wronged in his life. But to let him work was impossible. Fortunately, there was Ji Siyue, and their life had been going on day by day. However, a while ago, something had happened to Ji Siyue, and the situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Now that he had run into Ji Yang, especially since she was living so well, how could Ji Anfeng possibly give up on clinging to his daughter?
To be precise, it was clinging to his son-in-law.
He hadn’t expected Ji Yang’s ability to be even greater than Ji Siyue’s. She had actually gotten involved with the leader of that “daoye,” and her status didn’t seem to be low.
He had to find a way to make Ji Yang recognize him!
Ji Anfeng was full of thoughts, but at this time, it was not good to say them out loud. He just kept apologizing to Yu Zhiji, saying that he would definitely let Ji Yang come over to apologize to him personally.
Looking at the person whose status was about the same as his in the past, and who he even had to bow his head to because of the supply and demand relationship, was now bowing and scraping in front of him, the anger in Yu Zhiji’s heart was finally a little smoother. He snorted and said with deep meaning, “Although your big daughter’s temperament is a bit fierce, she’s also really good-looking, even more spirited than that girl, Siyue. If you can control her well, you’ll be blessed in the future.”
“Hey, an ignorant little girl,” Ji Anfeng said vaguely.
It wasn’t that he was reluctant to part with her, but it was obviously more cost-effective to hold on to Xie Muzhi’s side. And the “control” that Yu Zhiji had mentioned was naturally those dirty methods. If he were to be controlled by him, and it was exposed, would Xie Muzhi’s side be able to do anything?
Of course, if Ji Yang was still unyielding, don’t even think that he would care about their kinship!
—
“Achoo!”
Ji Yang sneezed.
In such hot weather, and she was still sneezing. Xie Muzhi was puzzled. “Is the temperature too low?”
The air conditioner was on in the room. Now, technology was already very advanced, and the utilization of solar energy was also very high. With such a big sun, and with enough solar panels on the top floor, it was not a big problem to maintain the daily operation of the house.
But considering the temperature difference between inside and outside, the air conditioner was set at twenty-six degrees. The hot air would occasionally drill in through the cracks, and the indoor temperature was estimated to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight degrees, which was not low.
Ji Yang shook her head. “It must be those two old guys who are plotting against me.”
Ji Anfeng had lived a hard life for a while. At this moment, when he saw her, he would definitely not let go.
But she didn’t mind. She was even quite looking forward to what tricks he could play. It would be best if he was with Yu Zhiji, so that she could kill this person again.
Xie Muzhi was speechless. Seeing that she didn’t continue to sneeze, he quickly went back to the kitchen. Just now, when he had heard the gunshot, he had had a bad feeling and had quickly come out. He had only turned off the fire, and the dishes were not completely cooked.
However, all that was left was to reduce the sauce.
Ji Yang put the gun back in her bag and sat lazily, waiting for food. In the middle of it, Luo Laosan came back with a group of people and a batch of goods, all of which were fresh seafood.
A portion of it was placed in the refrigerator in the kitchen. At the same time, they had bought a small portion in advance and had temporarily stored it in the refrigerator in the living room. The rest was taken out again.
In fact, the rich were not short of seafood. Xie Muzhi and some other bold “daoye” would often send people to the coastal cities to exchange for them. But the conditions were limited, and fresh seafood was not easy to preserve. It was always in short supply. Each time a shipment arrived, it would cause a frenzy of buying among the rich. At this time, the “daoye” were also the busiest.
After the seafood was put down, the few of them each took a chicken wing and left in a hurry.
When they had left, it was Ji Yang’s turn to eat.
Besides their food, there was also Xixi’s boiled rabbit meat. Xie Muzhi had an exceptionally large amount of rabbit meat here. With a little bit of green vegetables and rice, a large bowl was stirred, and it was completely enough to fill Xixi.
Ji Yang served the rice, and the two of them immediately started to eat.
It was already past one o’clock, and they were both hungry. No one was chatting, and they were eating quietly. The oyster sauce lettuce was too good with rice. Ji Yang ate with great satisfaction. Xie Muzhi’s speed was even faster. In the blink of an eye, a bowl of rice was in his stomach. Ji Yang couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you eat a little slower?”
Xie Muzhi: “Okay.”
When it was time for the second bowl of rice, his speed had obviously slowed down. The hunger had been suppressed, and the two of them had a little free time. Xie Muzhi then tentatively asked, “You don’t have a good relationship with your father?”
He had investigated Ji Yang’s family members when he had wanted to invite her to participate in a mission before. He naturally also knew that her parents were divorced, but the custody was on the father’s side. The few pieces of information also showed that their relationship was not very good, but it had not reached this point.
Especially the sudden gunshot. If he were to say that there was no killing intent, he wouldn’t believe it.
Ji Yang nodded and said seriously, “He sold me once for benefits before, so I have unilaterally severed ties with him. This person, Yu Zhiji, is his buyer.”
Xie Muzhi’s face suddenly turned cold. “I understand. Do you need my help? He’s in the base. It might not be easy to deal with.”
“No need. I’ll do it myself,” Ji Yang refused. It wasn’t that she was being pretentious, but Xie Muzhi had a close relationship with the government, and his every move was definitely being watched by many people. It was easy for problems to arise if he did such small things. She was different.
Xie Muzhi frowned, but since Ji Yang had said so, he could only accept it.
In their relationship, she had always been the one in charge. Many things were up to her. He then changed the subject. The two of them had been officially in a relationship for a while. He had told her about his family before they had started dating. He was all alone now. But Ji Yang hadn’t said anything. He was also trying to change the subject. He asked, “Then have you thought about your mother’s side?”
Ji Yang smiled. “I went to Hu City a while ago. She’s over there. I’ve already made it clear what needs to be said. She didn’t raise me. The debt of birth has been repaid. In the future, even if we meet, we don’t have to greet each other.”
Xie Muzhi observed her for a moment. Seeing that she was not forcing a smile, his heart relaxed a little, and he also smiled. “Then it’s just right for the two of us to depend on each other.”
Ji Yang chuckled and added a chicken wing to his bowl. “Alright, so you should eat some meat too. Don’t leave it all for me. Otherwise, if your body breaks down, you’ll have to rely on me alone.”
“Okay,” Xie Muzhi obediently ate.
After the two of them were full, it was already two in the afternoon.
Ji Yang urged Xie Muzhi to take a bath. She took the initiative to wash the dishes. The other person was so tired. He hadn’t rested after he had come back and had cooked. It was a bit inhumane to let him wash the dishes again. She would work hard this once.
After Xie Muzhi had finished washing, it just so happened that her water was also boiled and she could go and wash.
When she came out, there was one person and one dog in the room.
They were all lying very comfortably. When they saw her come out, they all opened their eyes and looked. After confirming that it was her, they continued to sleep.
Ji Yang’s mouth twitched. She took a hairdryer and went out. Although her hair was short, she still had to blow it a little. After she had finished blowing, she went in again. The person and the dog in the room seemed to be fast asleep. This time, no one moved.
She was also sleepy. She yawned, lay down gently, and saw the man who she had thought was fast asleep turn over and come closer, holding her. His face was buried in her neck, and his breath was hitting her neck, which was a little itchy.
Ji Yang poked his face in annoyance.
Xie Muzhi shook his head, and then held her a little tighter. A certain energetic part was pressing against her.
Ji Yang quickly moved away a little. This time, Xie Muzhi did not get closer. She squeezed the hand that was on her waist with satisfaction and also closed her eyes.
Xie Muzhi would watch the door. If there was any noise downstairs, it could be noticed at the first moment, so there was no need to worry.
