Gu Jing's heart skipped a beat.
Obviously everything was under his control, but Ji Jinrong gave him an elusive feeling. Ji Jinrong's eyes were too clear, as if the child already understood what he said.
Gu Jingzhen supported the chair handle to slow down, and said, "Go back to the Gu family." He sat up straight, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Ji Jinrong, "Become the Gu family, and all your difficulties will be solved."
Ji Jinrong smiled when he heard Gu Jingzhen's words.
Such sincerity is too underestimated.
Ji Jinrong didn't speak, but just looked at Gu Jingzhen quietly.
Gu Jing really felt inexplicably angry from embarrassment: "Do you think you have a lot of chips in your hand?"
Ji Jinrong picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He smiled slightly, and his smile was full of sincerity: "I really don't have any bargaining chips."
Gu Jing really looked at Ji Jinrong coldly.
Ji Jinrong said: "However, Shao Junying was able to do that because I acquiesced." He knew Shao Junying's careful thinking, and Xu Jinhua's sadness and anger, but he also knew that he would definitely stand on the same front with Shao Junying in the future .
It doesn't make much difference to him whether Shao Junying did it because of love or possessiveness, after all, he clearly knows that Shao Junying hasn't really fallen in love with him yet.
He acquiesced in Shao Junying's strong medicine against Xu Jinhua because he couldn't face Xu Jinhua's offensive of tears.
With the current situation, there is no time for him to slowly persuade Xu Jinhua.
How easy is it to let a mother who loves her son accept her son's relationship with an "old man"? So he didn't stop Shao Junying from doing that.
Ji Jinrong said: "If I don't want to, I have countless ways to solve my relationship with Shao Junying."
Gu Jingzhen said: "Anyone can say big things."
Ji Jinrong had no intention of continuing this topic, so he turned to the main topic: "It's not impossible for me to be Gu's family member."
Gu Jingzhen stared at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong said: "As long as everyone in the Gu family listens to me."
Gu Jingzhen had blue veins on the back of his hand.
He knew that Ji Jinrong's ambition was not small, but he didn't know that Ji Jinrong's ambition could be so big!
Ji Jinrong said: "I'm not interested in disobedient collaborators." His handsome face is still childish, but he has a powerful aura that cannot be ignored. "The prerequisite for discussing cooperation with me is that everything is obeyed by me."
Gu Jingzhen said: "Then you can go back." Make everyone in the Gu family listen to this kid? Even he couldn't really do it himself.
Ji Jinrong stood up and said with a smile, "Goodbye." He paused, and then said again, "You have a good memory, don't you?"
Gu Jingzhen stared at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong said: "I have no malicious intentions. I just want to give you a small prescription that can help you live for a few more years." He slowly reported a list of drug names and dosages, "If you remember it, you can try it later. "
After speaking, Ji Jinrong really turned around and walked out the door.
Gu Jingzhen stood up: "Stop!"
Ji Jinrong turned to look at Gu Jingzhen.
Gu Jingzhen said: "Do you know what it means to prolong my life for a few years?" These words actually did not doubt the authenticity of Ji Jinrong's prescription at all.
Ji Jinrong said: "I know," he smiled slowly, "It means you can hold on for a few more years, and you won't rush to agree to my lion's request."
Gu Jingzhen's face turned blue, and his pale skin turned purple with anger: "You also know that you are a lion opening its mouth!"
Ji Jinrong said: "A lion's mouth is already so big. You can't make it smaller just because the prey is too small?"
Gu Jingzhen said, "You are very confident."
Ji Jinrong said, "There's nothing to be confident about."
In order for the special operations team to get enough support, the Gu family is just a stepping stone. If this brick doesn't work well, Ji Jinrong will choose another direction to start with.
He can talk to the Gu family, and of course he can also talk to other families.
The Gu family is just one of his goals.
As for why Gu Jingzhen was given the prescription, of course it was because Gu Jingzhen was not bad at using it.
He can't do everything by himself.
In fact, when we met a few years ago, he had a way to relieve Gu Jingzhen's illness, but at that time he was still living a miserable life thanks to Gu Jingzhen, so naturally he would not be kind enough to treat Gu Jingzhen's illness.
Gu Jingzhen also knew this.
In the past few years, Gu Jingzhen has been sending people to observe him. Gu Jingzhen should know exactly who he has befriended and why he has been cured. Therefore, Gu Jingzhen did not doubt that he could extend his life for a few more years.
Ji Jinrong said: "What I want is not just the support of the Gu family."
Gu Jingzhen's expression became serious.
He said, "You want to help Shao Junying with all your strength?"
Ji Jinrong said, "Yes."
Gu Jing was really puzzled: "Why?" He coughed twice, raised his pale face and looked at Ji Jinrong, "You've only known him for over a month, haven't you? No, not even a month."
Ji Jinrong said, "Do you know why Shao Junying didn't accept the Gu Yu you gave him?"
Gu Jingzhen stared at Ji Jinrong: "I don't know." This is indeed one of Gu Jingzhen's doubts all the time. He sent the family guide out and sent the family sentries to the special operations team, but Shao Junying still sent Gu's family without hesitation. Shut it out—does even the Special Operations Forces fear that "trouble"
Ji Jinrong said: "It's because you always ask 'why'."
Gu Jing was really taken aback.
Ji Jinrong said: "You know that the environment is getting worse and worse, and it is less and less suitable for human life; you know that only the awakened will be able to live well in the future-you know that there will be more and more 'mutant people', and the situation of ordinary people It will become more and more dangerous. But you will still ask 'why', you will ask, why do they fight against the 'living dead' regardless of life and death; you will ask, why are they willing to pay Your own life—you always ask 'why do you do this', as if there is always more reason to do it—than simply wanting to protect all people, simply wanting to make a last-ditch effort for the future of all people." His eyes became sharp and cold, "You always have to find enough reasons before you reluctantly provide a little help. Just like this, you still feel that you have suffered a huge loss."
Gu Jingzhen's face paled slightly, and he looked less bloody.
He knew that Ji Jinrong was not an ordinary boy.
But when that blade-like gaze fell on him, he felt uncontrollably ashamed.
If he hadn't heard the boy's words, he would think that the boy in front of him was helping Shao Junying wholeheartedly because of the bond between the sentinel and the guide.
But seeing Ji Jinrong's bright eyes at this moment, Gu Jing really knew that this young man was more awake than anyone else.
Gu Jing really calmed down.
Ji Jinrong said: "If the help that the Gu family or other families can give is the kind of 'help' that is always weighing the pros and cons and is always ready to withdraw, Shao Junying doesn't need it, and I don't even need it."
Gu Jingzhen said: "Even if Shao Junying came in person, he wouldn't dare to say that?"
Ji Jinrong said: "Of course, he would not dare to say that. He has to be responsible for everyone in the special operations team." He slightly closed his eyelashes and raised a smile, "And I don't need it, even if I talk It won't matter if you don't, after all, I'm still just a child."
Gu Jingzhen: "..."
Where on earth did this guy have the face to say he was "just a kid"? Who was the one who wanted the entire Gu family when he spoke just now
Gu Jingzhen said: "I also have to be responsible for the Gu family."
Ji Jinrong said, "Are you serious?"
Ji Jinrong's tone and gaze were like thin needles, piercing fiercely into the most hidden corners of Gu Jing's heart.
Yes, these are all lies. He doesn't care about other people's lives or the lives of the Gu family at all. He just wants to find out the truth and avenge his second brother. He didn't think about anything else, let alone being responsible for the Gu family. He didn't even care about his own life, so how could he care about other people's future
Gu Jingzhen closed his eyes dejectedly.
Obviously when Ji Jinrong entered the door, the initiative was still in his hands, but at this moment, he felt that he was completely pulled away by Ji Jinrong. Because Ji Jinrong knew everything, but he couldn't grasp Ji Jinrong's thoughts.
This boy is too bold and too smart.
When a person is ambitious and has enough courage and ability to realize his ambition, success is only a matter of time.
All those who stood still and laughed at him, taunted him, or looked on coldly, could only look up to him in the end!
Gu Jingzhen opened his eyes, and met Ji Jinrong's smiling gaze. That smile is very friendly, but in Gu Jingzhen's eyes, it looks like a seductive and depraved devil.
As a "seductive and depraved devil", Ji Jinrong really said: "You and Shao Junying can't find out what happened back then, which means that your brother's death is very strange, and there may be something inside. I asked Shao Junying, and he said If the importance or danger of this matter rises to S-level, the military’s intelligence network can be used to conduct an in-depth investigation.” He pulled out his chair and sat back in his original position, smiling and looking at Gu Jingzhen, “If the Gu family’s The bloodline is really as miraculous as the real murderer claims, so why not use it? Let them know how important the Gu family is, and let them know that the Gu family is the real 'King of the Awakened'—by then, what do we want to investigate? Can't find it?"
Hearing Ji Jinrong say the word "we", Gu Jing's heart really jumped.
He was twenty years older than Ji Jinrong, but at this moment he was suppressed by Ji Jinrong so that he was powerless to fight back.
He has been completely convinced by Ji Jinrong.
Whether it's for his own selfishness or for the "future" that he doesn't know whether it will come or not, the path pointed out by Ji Jinrong is the best choice. Since he didn't care about the survival of the Gu family at all, why didn't he try his best? If the Gu family is completely handed over to the young man in front of him, he might be able to tie the waiting and watching families to the chariot.
At that time, it is true that he can check anything he wants.
Gu Jingzhen said: "Okay, I promise that everyone in the Gu family will listen to you."
Ji Jinrong poured himself a cup of hot tea, drank it slowly, and said, "I also promise that you will get what you want." He has always been generous to those who are useful.
Gu Jing was really relieved.
He found himself sweating profusely.
But Ji Jinrong, who was sitting opposite him, was still calm, as if he was just chatting with him just now.
Gu Jingzhen said, "When are you going back to the capital?"
Ji Jinrong was slightly surprised: "When did I say I was going back to the capital?"
Gu Jingzhen said: "Didn't you say—" Before he finished speaking, Gu Jingzhen stopped by himself. He suddenly understood why Ji Jinrong gave him that prescription. From the very beginning, Ji Jinrong never thought about the possibility of him being uncompromising, so Ji Jinrong gave him the prescription to prolong his life, in fact to let him continue to sit in this position—to let him He does things for him in this position.
Gu Jingzhen felt a slight chill down his spine.
The stability and ruthlessness of this young man's heart are completely different from the gentleness shown by this young man.
Gu Jing really couldn't help asking: "When you met last time, you had a way to treat me, right?"
Ji Jinrong said lightly: "Some things are in the past, let it go, it's not good to pursue too much." Thinking of the Xu family's grandfather and Xu Jinhua, Ji Jinrong's eyes became a little softer, "In front of the Xu family, you should be a You are my third uncle." Otherwise, they will be frightened.
Gu Jingzhen's complexion was blue and white.
Ji Jinrong admitted it, and told him the reason openly: it was because he asked someone to force the Xu family back to their hometown, so Ji Jinrong didn't treat him as "third uncle", let alone treat him.
Gu Jingzhen has never regretted what he did, and in his heart he really pursues the concept of the strong preying on the weak.
But looking at Ji Jinrong sitting calmly in front of him, Gu Jingzhen suddenly felt that if Ji Jinrong took the position of head of the family, the Gu family might not be in the situation they are in today - where they need to send their nephews out to please others.
Did he do something wrong
This thought crossed Gu Jingzhen's mind for the first time.
Next, Gu Jingzhen summoned the Gu family and introduced Ji Jinrong, the "nephew" to everyone. Of course, they didn't tell anyone about the "deal" between them. After all, it was too sensational to hand over the entire Gu family to a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.
On the surface, it is Gu Jingzhen who controls everything.
Ji Jinrong stayed at Gu's house that night.
In the middle of the night, Shao Junying still climbed in through the window.
Ji Jinrong said, "Uncle Shao, you are addicted to being a thief."
Hearing Ji Jinrong's usual "pet name", the veins on Shao Junying's forehead twitched slightly.
Seeing that Shao Junying didn't speak, Ji Jinrong smiled: "Don't you ask me about the result of my conversation with Gu Jingzhen today?"
Shao Junying said: "I know the result."
Gu Jingzhen called all the people under his command to go back and recognize them, how could Shao Junying not know? He just didn't know what kind of agreement Ji Jinrong had reached with Gu Jingzhen, and he actually accepted back to the Gu family just like that.
Shao Junying was afraid that Ji Jinrong would wrong herself because of the so-called "big picture".
If that's the case, he'd rather not have the "big picture".
Shao Junying didn't say anything, but his eyes had already betrayed his thoughts.
Ji Jinrong's heart warmed, and he said, "Don't worry, I won't wrong myself at any time." He smiled, "Of course I will wrong others."
Shao Junying: "..."
