In the evening, Shengge drove back to Yusheng Xiaozhu by herself.
Ji Yuting was not at the National Bureau of Investigation and seemed to have returned to Ji's house. She did not want to bother Ji Yuting to drive out to pick her up.
After returning home, Shengge was still walking in the garden when she saw that only the study room in the entire villa was still lit.
She walked straight into the study room.
The door to the study room was open, and Ji Yuting was sitting behind his desk, staring at a certain place with his eyes focused, but his eyes were unfocused, and he was obviously lost in thought.
His face was serious, as if something had happened.
Shengge was confused and walked silently into the study room and walked around behind his office chair.
During this period, Ji Yuting didn't notice her coming in at all, he was so lost in thought that he was so focused.
"Husband, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
Her slender and beautiful green-white fingertips gently pinched his broad shoulders and gently massaged his shoulders and neck.
Hearing her familiar voice and being touched by her fingers, Ji Yuting came back to his senses.
He took Shengge's hand that was squeezing his shoulder, kissed the back of her hand, and told the truth: "Ji Yong hid Ji Xinghui. I went to find him. He said that my parents died for another reason.
Threaten me to let Ji Xinghui go."
Shengge then frowned, "Does he really know? But if my parents really had an accident, wouldn't it be better to just ask grandpa?"
Ji Yuting sighed, that's the problem.
He went to ask Mr. Ji today, but Mr. Ji insisted on shaking his head and claiming that there was no hidden secret. It was exactly the same as what he had been told since childhood, without a single extra word.
Even after his repeated questioning, Mr. Ji became angry. If he bothered him with such old things again and insisted on making him sad, he would go to the ancestral hall to kneel down and reflect.
The old man's reaction was too strong and too extreme.
This just shows that there may be something else hidden in this matter, as Ji Yong said.
He thought about it and told Shengge the whole thing without reservation, trusting her unconditionally.
Shengge nodded after hearing this, "Grandpa has always been steady and mature, but he actually threatened you with kneeling down. It's indeed a bit of an overreaction. Maybe this matter is because of the sensitivity that has been in Grandpa's heart for many years."
The two fell into silence at the same time because of this incident.
After they both considered it for a while, Shengge said: "Then what are you going to do? Let Ji Xinghui go and exchange it for the secrets Ji Yong told you?"
Ji Yuting is also struggling with this matter.
He glanced at the photo frame on his desk, which was a photo of his parents when they were young.
In this life, he has never experienced father's love and mother's love.
But now, Ji Yong told him that there was another truth behind his childhood without his parents. It was not an accidental car accident, but it was probably man-made.
He wanted to know the truth so much, but he didn't want to let Ji Xinghui go because of it.
"The mistake Ji Xinghui made this time not only harmed grandpa, but also implicated you because of his collusion with Hall Paul, causing you to stay in the situation all afternoon. I am not qualified to forgive his mistakes, let alone let Ji Xinghui go."
Yong holds this bargaining chip and threatens me."
Shengge sighed, "You don't need to worry about me. It's not a big deal after I've been in the situation for a long time. It still depends on how trustworthy you think Ji Yong's words are."
He turned back, "What do Shengsheng think?"
"It's really hard to say, but since he uses it as a trump card, if it hadn't been for Ji Xinghui's accident, he probably wouldn't have used it. From this point of view, it's still credible."
Ji Yuting fell into deep thought, "I'll think about it again. First I'll try to re-examine the old events to see if there are any clues, and then I'll consider whether to agree to Ji Yong's conditions."
Now that the solution was determined, Shengge didn't want to see him continue to worry about this matter, so she took the initiative to walk around his office chair and sit on his strong thighs.
"Don't think about these things anymore, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
Ji Yuting almost subconsciously put his arms around her waist and hugged her, but he was a little surprised by her initiative.
"Shengsheng, tonight is particularly different."
Shengge tilted her head and chuckled, her eyes charming, "What's the difference?"
Ji Yuting successfully diverted his attention to her.
He leaned close to Shengge's ear, and his hoarse voice was very seductive, "Same beauty, but different initiative. Shengsheng makes me want to taste delicious food."
"Then... we'll be in the study tonight?" Shengge was an old married couple. When they were alone together, Shengge had nothing to be shy about and asked very straightforwardly.
Ji Yuting got what she wanted and kissed her soft lips decisively, "I listen to my wife."
