sa Global Century Mall is full of people.
Huge red balloons float in the air, and a long red carpet is spread from the entrance to the central square inside the mall, connecting with the wide main venue stage. On both sides of the red carpet are media people holding microphones and various cameras.
The spotlight kept shining, and well-dressed celebrities came one by one, smiling and waving at everyone.
Before their car reached the red carpet, Ji Heng arranged first: "Xue Zong will come with me, and you will follow behind."
Ji Yu glanced at the dark crowd outside the car window: "I don't care."
The appearance of the son of the first wife and the son of the second wife together has already become a hot topic. Just sitting in the same car but not walking together is enough for the media to spontaneously make up a bunch of eye-catching gossip about wealthy families.
Now that he has come here, the exposure can be as big as he can, anyway, he will not lose in this wave.
But Xue Zong interjected at this moment: "You two go together. I am in the wrong position and follow behind you."
Ji Heng looked at Xue Zong dissatisfiedly: "Why?"
Xue Zong touched his glasses and explained: "If you don't want the news and gossip in Jiangcheng tomorrow to be all about your brother's rift and the past of the two wives, then it will be better according to what I said."
"Of course, if possible, it's best for the two of you to behave... a little more peacefully."
Ji Yu shrugged: "I'm fine."
Ji Heng frowned: "I'm not ok! Who wants to behave harmoniously with him? Even if we are harmonious, those old things will definitely be revealed, and they will be revealed whenever they like. Who is afraid of whom?"
Xue Zong looked at Ji Heng and sighed softly: "You..."
"What's wrong with me?"
Ji Heng rolled his eyes and leaned his head on Xue Zong's arm.
Ji Yu: "..."
At this moment, the car had reached the end of the red carpet, and the greeters outside knocked on the car window, signaling them to get off the car.
Ji Yu, who had been stuffed into a mouthful of dog food, closed his eyes, and when the car door opened, he grabbed Ji Heng's wrist, successfully making Ji Heng shut up, and then forcefully pulled him out of Xue Zong's mouth. Pulled out of his arms.
Ji Yu: "Don't get bored, get out of the car."
Ji Heng: "..."
The car door was opened wide, and countless spotlights flashed.
Ji Heng talked about who was afraid of whom, but when he actually faced the media, he smiled faster than anyone else. Not only did he not get angry, but he followed Ji Yu out of the car obediently.
"Hey, who is that person next to Ji Heng? A celebrity? Why don't I know him?"
"Hey! That face is too similar to Jiang Ruoyan!"
"Jiang Ruoyan? Ji Yuansheng's original partner? Then he is Jiang Ruoyan's son?"
"It must be! But why did he suddenly go back to Ji's house? He also walked with Ji Heng? Tsk, I guess there will be a big show in the future."
"Look here, look here!"
…
The crowd became agitated, especially the senior media professionals who had been in Jiangcheng for a long time. After recognizing Ji Yu, they wanted to put the cannon barrel directly on his face and shoot in 360-degree high-definition without blind spots.
Ji Yu turned a blind eye to all of these, he restrained his expression, raised his chin slightly, and only exerted a little force on the hand that pinched Ji Heng's wrist.
The light blue suit outlines his smooth and slender body line. The straight fabric and tall and straight figure cover up the original softness and weakness, but add a bit of sunshine and handsomeness.
The light shone on his face, casting a natural filter on him. Compared with Ji Heng next to him, Ji Yu was obviously more outstanding.
"Can you stop pulling me!" Ji Heng squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
Ji Yu replied: "No. There are so many people watching, remember to keep smiling and don't collapse your face."
"You want to tell me?"
No matter how unhappy Ji Heng was, he had no choice but to present a harmonious, friendly, brotherly and respectful appearance in front of others—even if this younger brother stole all his limelight, even if this younger brother made him a foil.
Ji Yu smiled and didn't speak again.
With one hand in his pocket, he casually scanned the crowd as he walked. Suddenly, his eyes paused when he passed by a certain place, and fell on the head of a young boy wearing a mask.
Although the other party was wearing a mask, the top edge only covered the tip of his nose, and the upper half of his face exposed outside the mask looked very familiar.
Ji Yu quickly recognized that the man was Xie Yuxing.
Because the other party's eyes are too eye-catching, and the expression is also out of tune with the people around him, that's why he noticed it.
Ji Yu originally thought that Xie Yuxing's eyes were staring at him, but when he looked again, he felt that something was wrong. The focus of his eyes seemed to be not on him, but on the position behind him.
Behind him... is Xue Zong.
There were still people walking onto the red carpet one after another, but their positions were far behind.
So, Xie Yuxing is looking at Xue Zong
At this moment, Xie Yuxing's eyes moved, and he noticed that Ji Yu was looking at him.
He immediately lowered his head, put on his hat, and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
"What were you watching just now?" Ji Heng asked.
Ji Yu withdrew his gaze and said casually, "It's nothing."
"Cut." Ji Heng snorted from his nose.
Walking through the red carpet, they came to the main indoor venue.
Xue Zong sent them to their seats and left.
As soon as he left, Ji Yu immediately took out his mobile phone, and there was a message sent three minutes ago—
[He Zhou: On the second floor, [location] Get off this elevator, parking space e1896, license plate Su x12345.]
[Ji Yu: Here we come.]
This is what he discussed with He Zhou on the way, and he left immediately after walking the red carpet.
Take it when you see it, don't wait too long.
Ji Yu stood up and walked out, Ji Heng who was sitting next to him asked, "Where are you going?"
"bathroom."
Ji Heng also stood up: "Just right, let's go together."
Ji Yu raised her eyebrows: "Why didn't I know that our relationship is good enough to go to the bathroom together?"
Ji Heng sneered: "Who knows if you really went to the toilet."
Ji Yu: "..."
He wasn't worried that Ji Heng would know about his and He Zhou's plans, the reason why this person followed him was probably because he was worried that Xue Zong would meet him in private.
"over thinking."
"What did you say?"
"I say up to you." After Ji Yu finished speaking, he took the lead.
The two entered the bathroom area one after the other.
The bathrooms in the shopping mall are divided into six genders, and they are not mixed. Only the sinks are shared.
After Ji Yu entered the bathroom, he deliberately stood there, wanting to go out immediately after Ji Heng entered. However, after watching it a few times, Ji Heng stood outside properly, and even tidied his hair in front of the sink.
Ji Yu: "..." All right.
He walked into the bathroom and sent He Zhou a location.
[He Zhou: Why did you go to the bathroom?]
[Ji Yu: I made an excuse to go to the bathroom, but Ji Heng followed me, so I will meet you later.]
[He Zhou: Why did he follow you? He knows?]
[Ji Yu: No, he was worried that Xue Zong and I would meet privately.]
[He Zhou:...]
[He Zhou: I'll come up.]
After posting, he also shared his real-time location with Ji Yu.
[Ji Yu: No, it's all trivial. I'll be down soon.]
However, He Zhou didn't reply this time, and Ji Yu saw the red dot on the location slowly moving towards his position.
Here it comes
An inexplicable feeling surged in his chest, making Ji Yu stunned for a moment.
He lowered his eyes, staring unblinkingly at the moving red dots on the screen.
After a while, he laughed.
After a while, Ji Heng finally entered the bathroom next door, and Ji Yu immediately strode out.
He kept walking towards He Zhou's location, and not long after, he found the elevator at the location and took it down to the second floor.
The elevator door opened, and He Zhou, who was wearing a sweatshirt and a baseball cap, appeared in front of Ji Yu.
The two bumped into each other.
The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and Ji Yu reached out his hand to give He Zhou a high-five: "It's really not easy, the meeting was finally successful."
He Zhou laughed softly, looked behind Ji Yu: "Is there no one following you?"
"without."
Ji Yu gave him a thumbs up, "Today I have seen what a godly teammate is. One operation actually showed off Ji Yuansheng. You are really there. I almost thought that the small universe was going to be cold."
He Zhou glanced at the passers-by next to him, and tilted his head to one side: "Go, let's talk in the car."
"good."
After getting into He Zhou's car, Ji Yu felt at ease.
He slumped into the seat without any image, and asked relaxedly, "How is the small universe with you?"
He Zhou replied: "I didn't cry once today, I had a good time."
Ji Yu nodded: "That's good."
The car started and drove out of the basement.
The noisy Century Mall and the messy Ji family were left behind, and the image of the huge monster with several balloons hanging in the rearview mirror became smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
What also disappeared was the excitement in Ji Yu's mind.
After returning to his senses, he smiled back: "Where are we going now?"
"my home."
"Okay." Ji Yu nodded, and was about to speak again, but was interrupted by He Zhou as soon as he reached his mouth.
He said: "Don't say thank you to me."
The serious expression immediately collapsed, Ji Yu smiled and said: "I didn't want to say thank you, I just wanted to ask if you found anything."
"Ji Yuansheng is so weird, I don't feel at ease if I don't know his purpose, and he also said that today he will send someone to pick up Xiaoyu. I don't know why he is so obsessed with Xiaoyu."
He Zhou remembered what his father had said to him, and wanted to pass it on to Ji Yu, but hesitated for a moment, then swallowed it back. After all, he had no evidence, nor did he actually find anything.
"There is something wrong with Ji Yuansheng, but I haven't found out what it is exactly."
He Zhou added, "Most of his team and laboratory are abroad, and the secrecy is so strict that even my father can't figure it out."
Ji Yu was a little surprised: "Your father is also checking him?"
What is He Xiong's identity? How powerful should Ji Yuansheng be if he can let a person of this status go to investigate and find out? Ji Yu was a little confused, "Isn't he the real estate tycoon of Jiangcheng?"
He Zhou shook his head: "This is just the part he wants people to see."
What about the part you don't want people to see
Ji Yu fell silent, and looked at He Zhou after a while: "Didn't I drag you into the water and make you miserable?"
He Zhou's face was reflected in the deep black pupils, and the heart that had been floating fell back inch by inch, and was pressed back to his chest with a heavy weight.
He Zhou glanced sideways at Ji Yu, and suddenly wanted to reach out and rub his head. Even if he is like a bodhisattva crossing the river, he is still worried about him.
With that in mind, he did the same.
He Zhou held the steering wheel with one hand, and snored quickly on Ji Yu's head with the other.
Ji Yu was confused by his sudden rubbing of the head: "What are you doing?"
He Zhou smiled: "Don't think too much, he can't do anything to me. But you—"
The heavy emotions were interrupted by a head rub, Ji Yu was not as depressed as before, and he straightened his hair in the rearview mirror: "Me?"
He Zhou stared straight ahead: "Well. Why don't you stay at my house during this time, and stay with Xiaoyu."
The movements of his hands stopped, and Ji Yu asked in surprise, "What did you say?"
There happened to be a red light ahead, and He Zhou stepped on the brakes.
He turned his head to look at Ji Yu, without smiling, his eyes were full of seriousness.
He said it again: "I said, you live in my house, and I will cover you."
