Chapter 1606: Chapter 1625: Reminder
"Why are you out?"
"I heard you were leaving, and I can get out of bed and walk, so I came to see you off." Gongxi Yunqi tilted her body slightly and smiled at Chen Jing.
"Thank you!" Chen Jing got out of the car and stood in front of Gongxi Yunqi, her eyes red. She wanted to say something but ended up not speaking.
"It’s good you can go back early, it’s too unsafe here." Gongxi Yunqi genuinely said, "Safe travels."
"And you? When will you go back?" Chen Jing was somewhat uneasy about Gongxi Yunqi staying here, and she could faintly sense that Huo Beijiang was hostile towards Gongxi Yunqi. Here, being targeted by the second-in-command of the Regular Army leads to unimaginable consequences.
She was very concerned about Gongxi Yunqi’s safety.
"You might as well come back with me! You can barely walk now anyway."
"I can’t, I can’t go back yet." Gongxi Yunqi said with a smile.
"Why? Is it that Huo Beijiang won’t let you go?" By now, in Chen Jing’s mind, Huo Beijiang had already become a figure both good and evil, capable of good deeds but also of possible wrongdoing. So without waiting for Gongxi Yunqi to say anything, Chen Jing urgently said, "You should just come with me! Otherwise, I really don’t know what Huo Beijiang might do."
Gongxi Yunqi was momentarily stunned and took a while to react, "You’re overthinking it, Huo Beijiang won’t do anything to me."
From his understanding of Huo Beijiang, this man was indeed dangerous and resourceful. But he was very calm, absolutely not prone to irrational actions. Even if he hated him, he’d find someone to save him at least.
"Alright!" Gongxi Yunqi interrupted Chen Jing, who was about to continue talking, with an undeniable tone, "I’m just here to see you off, thank you for operating on me." After speaking, he glanced at Ding Jiaqi, who was shrinking away in the car, and lowered his voice to say, "I have one more reminder for you."
Infected by his serious tone, Chen Jing also lowered her voice cautiously, "Tell me, I’m listening."
"Watch out for Ding Jiaqi."
After saying those simple five words, Gongxi Yunqi said nothing more and slowly turned to walk back.
Chen Jing stood there, stunned for a long time, only reacting when Ding Jiaqi in the car grew impatient and urged her. After getting back in the car and restarting it, she truly realized while Gongxi Yunqi’s words kept replaying in her mind.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ding Jiaqi asked unhappily.
Chen Jing shook her head.
"Really." Ding Jiaqi muttered discontentedly, her resentment and displeasure not disappearing but instead accumulating as the car went further away. She cast a glance at Chen Jing, licking her dry lips, "Chen Jing, are you really willing to leave like a stray dog?"
Think, just a week ago, they were following Burbank’s troops, ordering the soldiers around. But now they’re being sent far away, abandoned by Huo Beijiang, and that damned woman must be laughing behind her back.
She was unwilling to accept it.
Even if it’s wrong, she wouldn’t just accept it.
The more Ding Jiaqi thought about it, the more restless she became, licking her lips and feeling thirstier, wanting water but realizing she had left too hastily and didn’t have any. So she turned her eyes towards the water bottle beside Chen Jing.
