Chapter 274 I Can't Live Without You Every Year
"What nonsense are you talking about, child? Bah! You will all be safe and sound."
Song's mother looked at her with disapproval, but the worry in her eyes was unmistakable.
Knowing they were worried about her, Song Qianyi comforted them for a few moments before leaving. However, as soon as she got home, she heard Ji Jingshen's sarcastic remarks.
"Unlike some people who back down when faced with problems, or even drag innocent people into it."
Song Qianyi raised an eyebrow, changed her shoes at the door, and quietly walked to Ji Jingshen's side, listening quietly to his voice on the phone.
"Actually, if you withdraw from the competition now, you still have a chance to live. After all, you are my brother-in-law."
Ji Jingshen was so angry at being called "brother-in-law" that he laughed. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and hung up the phone without hesitation.
If he listened any longer, he'd probably throw up.
"Was that Cheng Linhao calling?"
"Well, I guess he couldn't find an opportunity to make a move, so he called and threatened me to withdraw from the competition. Unfortunately for him, he was wrong."
The two of them were extremely busy in the following days. Ji Jingshen was busy with project matters at the company, and he also had to be careful that Cheng Linhao might stab him in the back.
Meanwhile, Song Qianyi had been secretly investigating what Cheng Linhao had done, but it was proving difficult. She didn't know where he had found a master to clean up the mess he had made.
It is extremely difficult to find even the slightest evidence.
That day, Ji Jingshen and his companion set off to meet with the person in charge of the military project. However, just as they were halfway there, several cars suddenly appeared from the surrounding area and crashed into them.
"Are you OK?"
Ji Jingshen gritted his teeth and glanced at the rearview mirror; the car behind was still hot on his heels.
He noticed the car the moment it came out, and luckily he narrowly avoided being hit. However, there were too many other cars coming, and if this continued, it would probably cause a major accident.
"I'm fine." Song Qianyi turned her head and glanced at the surrounding cars. It seemed that Cheng Linhao had really gone all out this time, as the area was gradually being surrounded by their people.
"Let's drive straight to the suburbs. There are too many people here; we can't escape."
Ji Jingshen nodded and decisively exited the main lane at a fork in the road, while Song Qianyi, sitting in the passenger seat, calmly made a call to the police and sent the location information.
"I remember there's a dense forest nearby. If we run in, we might be able to shake them off, but the signal is bad inside, and it's hard to find our way around."
The two of them are likely to get lost inside.
Song Qianyi glanced at the car that was getting closer and closer behind her and agreed without hesitation.
The most important thing now is to shake off the tail behind us; just being able to stay alive is already a blessing.
Ji Jingshen accelerated continuously, flooring the accelerator to shake off the cars behind him. When he saw a small intersection not far ahead, he performed an emergency drift and came to a stop.
The two of them didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the car door and ran out.
"Hide here."
Ji Jingshen surveyed the surroundings, and finally pulled Song Qianyi to hide in a dense thicket, listening intently to the sounds around them.
Sure enough, not long after, the sounds of cars and shouting could be heard.
"The two of them definitely didn't go far; they just searched the surrounding area."
Hearing the approaching footsteps, Song Qianyi and her companion held their breath.
I thought they would leave after searching the area and finding no one there, but I didn't expect them to have no intention of giving up at all.
As the group drew closer, Ji Jingshen's face darkened. He immediately tried to stand up and lead them away, but Song Qianyi grabbed him as soon as he made the move.
"What are you doing? Going out now is suicide!"
“There are too many of them, and the two of us can’t escape at all. We don’t know when the people from Jiuyuan will arrive. I’ll go out first and lure them away to buy you some time. You go out and find someone to rescue me.”
Ji Jingshen held her in his arms and explained softly, but Song Qianyi wouldn't let go.
Going out now would be suicide.
“Listen to me, Sui Sui is still young and can’t live without her mother. You must protect yourself. Besides, I’m a man. Even if they catch up with me, they can’t do anything to me for a while.”
The man's voice was gentle, but Song Qianyi's heart was in turmoil.
All she knew was that Ji Jingshen absolutely could not be allowed to leave under these circumstances. She had noticed that the people opposite her were carrying knives while they were in the car.
How could Ji Jingshen possibly be a match for them when he was unarmed? Song Qianyi bit her lip, silently shedding tears, her eyes filled with rejection.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Ji Jingshen lowered his head and gently kissed her on the ground, intending to say goodbye, but he did not expect that Song Qianyi would suddenly run out when he was not paying attention.
Looking at his empty arms and Song Qianyi, who had already run a long distance ahead, the man's pupils contracted sharply.
"What are you doing? Come back here right now!"
Ji Jingshen lowered his voice and reprimanded.
But his raised arm trembled violently. He tried to pull the person back, but Song Qianyi was too fast.
“You’ve always been the one protecting me. Even your amnesia was because of me. I’ve been feeling guilty all this time.”
Song Qianyi smiled easily. "This time I finally have a chance to protect you. When we get back, you must take good care of me and not dislike me."
Song Qianyi turned back for one last look at the man, then shouted, "Help!"
"They're over there, hurry and chase after them!"
Seeing that everyone had been drawn away by Song Qianyi, Ji Jingshen was both shocked and pained. However, he knew that now was not the time to hesitate. Every minute he delayed would increase the danger to Song Qianyi.
He quickly got up from the ground and ran back as fast as he could to find help.
Song Qianyi, you must hold on.
In the forest, Song Qianyi, petite in stature, quickly outmaneuvered her pursuers by hiding and dodging, but she herself got lost.
He was resting against a big tree, panting heavily, when he heard footsteps nearby.
Song Qianyi immediately covered her mouth, looked around in a panic, and finally focused her gaze on the intricate pile of stones not far ahead.
As Song Qianyi carefully moved behind the rock, she almost screamed. Behind the rock was a steep hillside covered with rocks of all sizes. If she lost her footing, she would fall off.
At best, it can cause fractures; at worst, it can be fatal.
Song Qianyi took a deep breath and gripped the tree branch next to her tightly.
"Boss, we've searched here for so long and still haven't found him. Could he have already run away?"
