"You have a good eye, sir. This junior, Ji Xingmi, pays her respects!" Ji Xingmi also stood up and bowed to him. The old man's expression softened at this, and he gave her a helping hand with a smile.
"Little friend Ji, can you tell me what happened now?"
Ji Xingmi directly recounted the day's events to the old gentleman before her, also specifically relaying Wang Gang's words. The old gentleman's expression grew more somber as he listened. Ji Xingmi even thought he might curse, but in the end, she didn't hear any harsh words from him.
"Little friend, I understand this matter now. The school will certainly provide an explanation. As for these people..."
"We need to take these people away!" Before the old gentleman could finish speaking, a voice from behind interjected. Everyone looked back to see that Uncle Gu and his men had arrived.
Uncle Gu walked up to Ji Xingmi and directly saluted her, "Greetings, Commander!" Ji Xingmi also noticed the teasing in his eyes but, with so many people around, she couldn't say anything and simply returned the salute.
This time, not only was the old gentleman surprised, but the people around them were also stunned. This was a Colonel, and he was calling a girl of sixteen or seventeen a Commander! So, who exactly was she? Even the fat man who had been clamoring to sue her was now trembling. Let alone Wang Gang, who had collapsed on the ground. He had no other thoughts at the moment except wishing he had fainted like his brother.
"Principal Lou, long time no see! This matter is no longer a simple campus dispute. I need to take these individuals back to the military headquarters for processing." Ji Xingmi's eyebrow twitched at the surname. She seemed to have figured out this person's identity, but she said nothing for now.
"This… it's not that serious, is it?" Lou Zhiyuan wanted to insist, but Uncle Gu was unyielding. Lou Zhiyuan had no choice but to let Uncle Gu take the people away! Ji Xingmi whispered a few words in Uncle Gu's ear, and Uncle Gu relayed them to his men. The fat man was also taken away.
The fat man was still in shock and hadn't even thought of resisting as he was led away with the men. Uncle Gu chatted with Ji Xingmi from behind.
"See? Not bad, this kind of reception."
"I truly thank you! With you making such a big scene, I feel like I won't be able to leave my house ever again!"
"You don't have much time to go out anyway. Now, no one will dare to provoke you!" Uncle Gu said dismissively.
"Heh," Ji Xingmi really didn't want to talk anymore. She had just been unsealed, and now she felt like she was going to be locked up again. She wanted to ignore him even more. But Uncle Gu didn't think that way; he still followed behind her.
"Why are you following me?"
"To tell you the truth, I need a bottle. And I can help you find out what's going on with this person?"
"So, you're here to stock up today?" Ji Xingmi rolled her eyes.
Uncle Gu didn't care about her gestures, as long as he could get the medicine: "Isn't it a coincidence? Do you have any other medicine? Give me a little, and I can help you test its efficacy."
"Fine, fine!" Ji Xingmi really had no choice with him, so she took a medicine bottle out of her bag and gave it to him.
"Thank you, Commander. Goodbye, Commander!" After saying that, Gu Zhongli quickly left with his men, not looking back at all. Ji Xingmi also returned to the Ji family with the little chicks. Upon returning home, she told her Aunt Ji, who was waiting for her, about the incident.
Ji Mingyi frowned upon hearing this. Just then, Han Dong, who had come to pick her up, saw this and immediately asked, "What's wrong, my dear? Is the baby in your belly bullying you?"
"What are you thinking? How old is he? Don't blame everything on the baby!" Ji Mingyi was exasperated. Ever since she got pregnant, Han Dong seemed to have a vendetta against her belly. Whenever she felt unwell or anything else happened, it was always the baby's fault!
Han Dong also felt wronged! He had only been married for a short time and now there was a child. Not only had his status declined, but he had also heard that childbirth was dangerous. Just for that reason alone, he was very reluctant for her to have a child, but Ji Mingyi liked it too much. He was always being vigilant. It was just that one time he let his guard down, and she succeeded. Who knew it would happen on the first try? He was full of reluctance, was he not even allowed to complain?
Ji Xingmi was unaware of Han Dong's thoughts. She simply couldn't bear to watch the two of them like this. She then found an excuse and headed to her room. However, halfway there, she remembered what Han Dong had just said and changed direction to the kitchen. After simmering some soup, she asked the auntie to keep an eye on the time before returning to her room.
Meanwhile, Ji Mingyi was telling Han Dong about what had just happened.
"Wang Gang? Kyoto University? I remember Wang XX is the director there, his son?" Han Dong immediately pieced together the relationship between the two individuals.
"Who is Wang XX? Do you know him?"
"I don't know him, but he seems to have some connection with the Feng family. Aren't all the Feng family members gone now? That child from the Feng family did a clean job, leaving none behind." Han Dong was also puzzled as to who could have done such a thing. He didn't think that father and son alone had the guts to do it.
