Most of the trains in the morning were red-skinned trains, and the price was relatively expensive. After Ji Jinrong cut the ticket and walked into the door, he found that the floor was clean and the air was fresh, which was quite different from the green-skinned trains he usually took.
Ji Jinrong said, "It's a bit extravagant."
Hearing Ji Jinrong's words, people around couldn't help but look slightly sideways.
Ji Jinrong followed Shao Junying and the others, found his own seat and sat down. Someone sitting next to this "black brick" scolded angrily: "What the hell, it doesn't work at all, it might as well be equipped with a BP machine!"
Ji Jinrong recognized it. This is a relatively advanced communication tool in this era, and people in the world call it "Big Brother". Having seen the convenient communication methods in the previous few worlds, Ji Jinrong is not very interested in this kind of thing, so he just took a look and looked away.
Shao Junying was thoughtful.
After sitting down, Shao Junying said: "Let me ask someone to equip you with a communication tool, so that we can communicate in normal times."
The corner of Ji Jinrong's mouth twitched slightly: "Is it like the black head just now?"
Shao Junying said, "Almost."
Ji Jinrong said: "It's still not necessary, our communication network is not covered, and you can't receive the contact signal if you get this, there is no need for that."
Shao Junying didn't force it.
Seeing a flight attendant pushing a cart selling goods, Shao Junying asked, "Do you want something to eat? Or something to drink?"
Both Gu Xi and Gu's father were a little shocked.
Is this gentle and considerate guy really the Shao Junying they know
Ji Jinrong likes food made of fresh ingredients, glanced at the various packages on the cart, shook his head and said, "No need."
Shao Junying's eyes fell out of the window.
Someone outside the window is selling fresh oranges and glutinous rice cakes made by farmers.
Shao Junying covered Ji Jinrong with the jacket she had taken off.
He said, "Wait for me."
Ji Jinrong paused and looked at the back of Shao Junying getting out of the car.
Gu Xi asked, "What is he going to do?"
Ji Jinrong said, "I don't know either." His eyes turned to the window. Soon, Shao Junying's figure came into his eyes. There were a lot of passengers outside the car, and the crowd moved in different directions, but his upright figure could still be seen at a glance.
Shao Junying went to the man who sold oranges and glutinous rice cakes, bought a paper package of oranges and a paper package of glutinous rice cakes wrapped in banana leaves, and walked back through the crowd again.
Gu Xi noticed Ji Jinrong's gaze, and also saw Shao Junying's figure. She opened her eyes wide in astonishment: "Is he going down to buy food?" This was really beyond Gu Xi's expectations. In her heart, a person like Shao Junying might not even have to eat, let alone go to the roadside uncle Buy glutinous rice cakes!
The corners of Ji Jinrong's lips curved slightly: "Yes."
Shao Junying walked back to the carriage, sat back beside Ji Jinrong, and took out the still warm glutinous rice cakes. The glutinous rice cakes are soft and a little bit elastic. Against the background of the banana leaves, they look round and round, and they look very cute. He said, "This looks delicious, try it."
Gu Xi and Gu's father were dumbfounded again.
Ji Jinrong took the glutinous rice cake and asked Gu Xi, "Do you want it?"
Gu Xi hurriedly shook her head. As an A-level sentinel, Gu Xi has a keen survival instinct. Shao Junying bought it herself. If she dares to eat it, maybe Shao Junying will feed her to the dogs!
Shao Junying was very generous. He put the oranges on the table and said, "You can peel and eat when you are thirsty."
As he spoke, he picked up an orange and began to peel it.
Seeing that Gu Xi and Gu's father really didn't want to eat it, Ji Jinrong happily accepted Shao Junying's feeding and finished all the glutinous rice cakes that Shao Junying bought. The glutinous rice cakes are made of fresh ingredients, and the powder is not too fine. It tastes a bit rough, but it is very fragrant.
Ji Jinrong solved them all.
Mouth is a bit dry.
Shao Junying handed him half of the oranges in due course.
Ji Jinrong said, "Thank you."
Gu Xi and Gu's father were a little numb.
After arriving in the capital, Shao Junying did not go with Ji Jinrong and the other three. He had a mission when he came back, so he left as soon as he got off the train.
Gu Xi couldn't help but ask Ji Jinrong: "How did you know each other?"
Ji Jinrong took a look at Gu Xi, and said honestly, "He sensed my presence, and he came here by himself."
Gu Xi said, "Do you know what kind of person he is?"
Ji Jinrong said, "I probably know." From the way Shao Junying treated him, he knew Shao Junying's temper.
Gu Xi said: "No, you don't know. He is a real lunatic, he has no feelings!"
Hearing Gu Xi's anxious tone, Ji Jinrong frowned. Of course he knew that Shao Junying's affection for him was not particularly deep. Shao Junying's inevitability and possessiveness towards him came from the attraction between the sentinel and the guide.
But, he doesn't really care.
Ji Jinrong said slowly, "Isn't this the sentinel leader that everyone needs now?"
Gu Xi was taken aback.
Ji Jinrong said, "This is very good."
Gu Xi said, "But you—"
Ji Jinrong showed a gentle smile: "How do you know that I just like him?" He reached out and rubbed Gu Xi's head, "Maybe I deliberately let him appear with me, so that the Gu family can give me some benefits?"
If it was before meeting Ji Jinrong, Gu Xi would definitely think so. But after meeting Ji Jinrong, she couldn't speculate about Ji Jinrong anymore. She stubbornly denied: "You are not."
Ji Jinrong said: "It doesn't matter if you think it's not, it's fine if others think it is." It is believed that by this time the news that Shao Junying arrived in the capital together with him had already reached Gu Jingzhen.
Shao Junying is not a fool either.
Since he thought of the Gu family's help, he would naturally give him more leverage. From Shao Junying's "need", they are not just a temporary combination of sentinel and guide, but a community of interests.
Shao Junying is a soldier first, and then a sentinel.
It was he who offered to seek help from the Gu family for the special operations team, and Shao Junying had no reason to reject this win-win proposal.
Father Gu on the side looked at Ji Jinrong's calm profile, unable to say a word.
For the first time, he felt how incompetent he was.
Ji Jinrong didn't communicate much with Gu's father from the beginning to the end.
After leaving the train station, someone came to pick them up. He drives a domestically produced black flag car, with a low-key appearance, but in fact it is meticulous in every detail, and a spare tire is worth a car of others.
The Gu family is located in the Yanta Mountain area. There is a wild goose pagoda on Yanta Mountain, a straight avenue with the goose pagoda as the center and eyes on both sides, surrounded by guards with the same clothes and solemn expressions standing guard, each guard has three stars pinned to his shoulders, obviously they are all elites. elite.
This is the so-called "central avenue".
The people living on Zhongxin Avenue are the heads of various families and dignitaries from various parties. No matter how strict the guards are, it is not too much.
Looking at the receding trees outside the car window, Ji Jinrong gained a little more understanding of the status of the Gu family in Xiaguo. His little troubles may never be worth the wealth of the family!
The car was parked in front of a gate, and the black-flag car they were riding in was released after strict inspection.
Finally arriving in front of the main house of the Gu family, Ji Jinrong got out of the car calmly and observed the environment of the Gu family openly.
Gu Xi said: "Third Uncle is already waiting."
Ji Jinrong nodded slightly, and walked into the door with Gu Xi.
Gu Jingzhen's study room is on the second floor. After Ji Jinrong and the three of them knocked on the door, they heard a low and deep "Come in".
Ji Jinrong unscrewed the door, and saw the middle-aged man sitting behind the desk at a glance. This person is younger than Gu's father, but there is a coldness between his brows that Gu's father doesn't have. His face was a little thin, his eyes were sharp, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
Gu Jing's hawk-like eyes fell on Ji Jinrong.
When Shao Junying appeared at the station and joined Ji Jinrong and the others, Gu Jingzhen received the news.
Gu Jing really knew that Shao Junying was very interested in Ji Jinrong, but he didn't know that he was so interested—even if it happened to be because he happened to have something to go back to the capital, Shao Junying's initiative to wait for Ji Jinrong at the station was enough to prove how special he was to Shao Junying.
Gu Jingzhen looked at the calm Ji Jinrong.
This boy didn't look like he was only fifteen years old at all.
There was a smile on his brows and eyes, as if he was born with a bit of joy. This kind of face is very pleasing, and it can make people ignore the cunning and calculation hidden in his eyes.
Ji Jinrong didn't seem to notice Gu Jingzhen's scrutinizing eyes, he smiled and said hello to Gu Jingzhen: "Mr. Gu, hello."
Father Gu felt very uncomfortable when he heard this address.
Ji Jinrong also called him "Mr. Gu" strangely, but he couldn't blame Ji Jinrong.
He can only hate himself for not fulfilling his responsibilities as a father.
Gu Jingzhen didn't feel much about the title "Mr. Gu", but felt that Ji Jinrong's name was really appropriate.
He looked at Gu Xi and Gu's father: "You guys go out first, I'll have a chat with him alone."
Gu's father was unwilling to let Ji Jinrong face Gu Jingzhen by himself: "Third brother, Ah Jin—"
Gu Jingzhen twitched his lips slightly, and said two words in a cold voice: "Get out."
All Father Gu's words were blocked back.
He was pulled out of the study by Gu Xi.
A gleam of brilliance flashed across Ji Jinrong's eyes.
With just the right question on his face: "You are too rude to your brother."
Gu Jingzhen said, "Where was he when the Gu family needed him?" His eyes were covered with a clear layer of frost, "When the second brother needed him, where was he?"
Ji Jinrong said slowly: "Then you can't blame him—didn't he accidentally lose his memory at that time?"
There was a lot of blood between Gu's father and Xu Jinhua. The children of the aristocratic family were kidnapped and had their heads turned on, and were thrown into a remote village to fend for themselves. The poor girl picked him up and took him home, healed his wounds and saved his life. Unexpectedly, the children of this aristocratic family didn't appreciate it and let it go without repaying it.
Ji Jinrong didn't pay much attention to Gu's father along the way because he didn't like Gu's father and didn't take responsibility.
Thinking about it now, such incompetence is so disgusting in a family like the Xu family, let alone a big family like the Gu family - I really can't blame him for not being able to keep up with his IQ.
Ji Jinrong said, "It's not his fault."
Gu Jingzhen said, "I don't want to discuss what happened back then with you."
Ji Jinrong said, "But isn't it because of what happened back then that I appeared?"
Gu Jingzhen looked at Ji Jinrong.
It has to be said that although Ji Jinrong is somewhat similar to his incompetent elder brother, the feeling is completely different.
Gu's father's facial features seemed to be soft, and his whole body was like a lump of dough that was flattened and rounded by others; Ji Jinrong was different, his eyebrows and eyes were obviously more beautiful than heroic, but he felt unspeakably fierce.
Especially when he wants to show this sharpness to others, it is impossible to ignore his dazzling edge.
It's just that more often, he will hide it in a soft smile, making people involuntarily let down their vigilance.
Like Gu Xi.
Before going to Ji Jinrong, Gu Xi's eyes were obviously full of gloom and sadness, but after returning, that melancholy disappeared, replaced by a look that was different from usual.
When he heard that he wanted to talk to Ji Jinrong alone, Gu Xi not only didn't worry at all, but decisively took Gu's father away.
This shows that Gu Xi has great trust in Ji Jinrong.
This trust is even blind.
Blindly enough to think that Ji Jinrong would not be at a disadvantage against him.
Won't you be at a disadvantage
Gu Jing really remembered the meeting a few years ago. Since then, he has been paying attention to everything Ji Jinrong does. Ji Jinrong also seemed to know that he sent people there, but he never took it seriously, and continued to do what he wanted to do in an orderly manner.
Gu Jingzhen watched Ji Jinrong easily pull the Xu family out of the predicament.
Unknowingly, everyone in the Xu family regarded Ji Jinrong as the backbone.
Such a person is too wasteful to be placed in such a remote place.
If his father had one ten thousandth of the ability of this son, he would not have let the Gu family be in trouble for so many years.
He also killed his second brother.
Gu Jingzhen had a cold expression on his face.
Gu Jingzhen was looking at Ji Jinrong, and Ji Jinrong was also looking at Gu Jingzhen.
From what Shao Junying said, Ji Jinrong guessed that Gu Jingzhen was definitely not the one who killed his elder brother to seek the position of Patriarch.
When he really faced Gu Jingzhen, he could feel Gu Jingzhen's deep sadness and anger.
The sad thing is that the family is in trouble and the elder brother died in an accident. What is angry is that Gu's father is obviously the eldest brother, but he disappeared when the family needed him the most, and he did not shoulder the responsibility of the elder brother after returning.
If he was Gu Jingzhen, he wouldn't like him and Xu Jinhua either.
"There are some things that need to be clarified before we can continue talking," Ji Jinrong said calmly, "Did you get someone to frame my grandfather back then?"
Gu Jingzhen said: "Yes, I sent people to 'solve' the Xu family, and they did a good job."
Ji Jinrong disagreed: "With one life?"
Gu Jingzhen said: "You should have checked what kind of life it was."
Of course Ji Jinrong checked. That bastard, he had several murder cases on his body, but he brought a lot of people under him, and every time someone took the blame for him. To be honest, if this person died, it would definitely be a shame.
The question is how he died.
This person died in Grandpa Xu's clinic inexplicably, and those bastards took the opportunity to block the door and smash things, making Grandpa Xu ashamed to stay in the county.
This move is really too ruthless.
It was unreasonable to meet those people, let alone unreasonable - people died in Grandpa Xu's clinic inexplicably!
Ji Jinrong said: "The weak have no right to be respected, right?"
Gu Jingzhen paused and said, "Yes."
Ji Jinrong fell silent.
Gu Jingzhen said: "I thought you should have seen such things clearly." His tone was light, "It's like Shao Junying stepping into your house majestically. He didn't dare to move when I brought Gu Yu in front of him. After you, he directly attacked - because he knew that moving Gu Yu meant taking the troubles of the Gu family on his back. But you are different, he can easily snatch you away from your mother without paying any price It will make your mother obediently compromise."
Ji Jinrong looked at Gu Jingzhen.
Gu Jingzhen said: "Because he is strong enough, so strong that others dare not ask him for rewards, so strong that as soon as he appears, others will regard him as a savior, so strong that people trust every word he says."
Ji Jinrong knew that Gu Jingzhen was telling the truth.
If he was the real Gu family, Shao Junying would never hug him carelessly in front of his parents like last night, implying that only he can protect his parents—
Ji Jinrong said, "Your words make sense."
Gu Jingzhen said, "Of course."
Ji Jinrong stared at Gu Jingzhen with bright eyes and said, "You said these words to me, are you trying to teach me how to get rid of the status of 'weak' and become 'strong'?"
Gu Jingzhen said, "Yes."
Ji Jinrong smiled slightly: "Okay, teach me, tell me what to do."
Gu Jingzhen didn't speak because he coughed violently. After coughing a few times, the blood on his face faded instantly and turned pale. After a while, he slowly recovered and said, "It's an old problem, it happens from time to time."
Ji Jinrong nodded.
Gu Jingzhen said: "If you want to change your situation, there is a very good choice in front of you."
Ji Jinrong said, "What choice?"
