Chapter 1884: I Was Wrong About You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She had to go back and throw this annoying thing to Chu Boyan.
The incessant chatter behind her made Ji Fengmian quicken his pace.
“Sleep… Mmph…”
Something was wrong with Ji Qing’s voice. Ji Fengmian stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly. Ji Qing was being hugged by a man. She covered her mouth and was struggling.
Her eyes were filled with fear.
Ji Fengmian frowned and looked at that person.
He was wearing a black baseball cap and a black mask. Only his fierce eyes were visible as he stared at her.
“I advise you to mind your own business. Otherwise, I… I’ll capture you as well…”
“Wuwu… Save…”
Ji Qing only knew how to struggle now. Her tears were flowing out of fear.
Fear and helplessness filled her eyes.
She understood Ji Qing’s fear and despair.
She was begging her for help, and she knew that she hated her.
She knew very well that Ji Fengmian wouldn’t care about Ji Qing’s plea for help. In fact, he might even gloat over her misfortune.
It was obvious that the man was very nervous. His gaze kept sweeping towards the entrance of the orphanage as he tried to forcefully bring Ji Qing away.
As Ji Qing struggled, she suddenly took off the man’s mask.
The man’s face appeared.
He hurriedly lowered his head.
Ji Fengmian’s eyes flashed. They were still some distance away from the entrance and they were behind Uncle Chu’s car. From the entrance of the orphanage, it was a blind spot.
Even if she wanted to call for help, the man would suppress her before she could say anything.
Besides Uncle Chu’s car, there were no other cars around.
Her face darkened and she clenched her fists tightly before looking at Ji Qing again.
Most of her face was covered by the man’s large palm, leaving only her eyes.
She was still full of fear, helplessness and begging.
After a while, she suddenly laughed and stared into her eyes.
“You deserve it!”
Ji Qing’s eyes widened and she forgot to struggle. She stared at Ji Fengmian’s happy face in a daze.
“Everyone knows that I hate you. You’re really stupid. I can’t wait to hate you, but you actually want me to save you.”
After saying that, she looked at the man and said, “Hurry up and leave. We have to take attendance in class later. We’ll realize that she’s missing soon. I’ll go back first and apply for leave for her. That way, you’ll have more time. But I don’t know how long I can delay because the teacher will definitely visit her. But I can guarantee that she’ll be gone in ten minutes…”
The man was afraid when he heard that, but Ji Fengmian continued,
“Seeing that I’m helping you to stall for time, I hope you can help me torture her. She’s a bad person. I hate her to death because she was isolated by the entire orphanage. Therefore, I want her to experience the feeling of being abandoned and being alone. Especially at night, that feeling must be very strong…”
“I… I didn’t expect you to be so vicious at such a young age. But I can promise you…”
Ji Fengmian smiled. “Thank you, Uncle. You’re the best.”
Then, Ji Fengmian turned around and ran towards the entrance of the orphanage.
Ji Qing watched in horror as she left. She was still struggling, but there was no response.
Ji Fengmian ran into the orphanage. Just as she stepped through the door, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground. Her knees hit the ground and her elbows pressed against the ground. It was so painful that she gasped.
However, she still stood up and patted the dirt off her body. Her face was pale and her legs were still trembling.
When Ji Fengmian found the director’s office, Uncle Chu had just opened the door.
Seeing the pale Ji Fengmian, she hurriedly asked, “Miss, what’s wrong?”
Ji Fengmian reached out and grabbed his shirt tightly, his knuckles turning white.
“Call the police.”
Uncle Chu was stunned. “What?”
Ji Fengmian’s voice trembled uncontrollably as he said, “Call the police.”
Only then did the director react and ask hurriedly, “What’s wrong?”
“Ji Qing was captured by a man at the school entrance.”
The director’s eyes widened. “Wh… What?!”
“What are you waiting for?! Wait for her to die!”
Ji Fengmian raised his voice, angered by the dean’s slow response.
The director was frightened by Ji Fengmian’s aura and hurriedly took out his phone to call the police.
Ji Fengmian let go of Uncle Chu and walked to the director’s desk. He took out a pen and paper and started drawing.
—
After the police arrived, Ji Fengmian had almost regained his composure. He sat on the director’s chair, the pen in his hand still moving.
“I don’t know that person and I’ve never seen him before…”
The director was at a loss. “What is that person thinking? She’s already in the orphanage. What’s the point of kidnapping her? How much money can the orphanage fork out…”
Ji Fengmian pursed his lips and didn’t look up. “That person’s goal is clear. He’s after Ji Qing. He’s not kidnapping her. He wants to kill her.”
Upon hearing this, the director’s body swayed. Uncle Chu seemed to have suddenly recalled something and glanced at the director. “You said that someone was asking about that child a few days ago…”
The director nodded in panic. “I… didn’t expect this to happen…”
Ji Fengmian ignored their conversation and continued,
“That person didn’t drive. This place is too remote. He can’t leave on foot with a child, nor can he kill her in other cities. There’s no road to the north, the road to the south, the orphanage to the west, and the mountain opposite. He has nowhere to go. He can only go to the mountain opposite.”
She spoke methodically without any panic. At such a young age, her expression was cold.
The police couldn’t help but take another look at her and immediately arranged for someone to save her.
Ji Fengmian handed the drawing to the leader of the police team.
“That person’s mask was torn off by Ji Qing. I saw his face. The similarity is about 90%. The mask he dropped is beside the black car outside the orphanage. It’s convenient for you to investigate in the future.”
The captain reached out to take it, but another hand intercepted the paper.
Chu Boyang glanced at the portrait. His facial features and clothes were very clear.
Ji Fengmian glanced at him coldly before reaching for the hot water that Uncle Chu had prepared for her.
The glass was still hot, but Ji Fengmian held the glass without any reaction.
She lowered her head and took a sip.
She seemed to have just felt the heat and frowned slightly.
Chu Boyang handed the portrait to the police and looked at Ji Fengmian.
“Since you’ve already seen the criminal’s face, why did he let you go?”
Ji Fengmian tightened his grip on the cup and looked up at Chu Boyang across the desk.
“It seems that you find it a pity that I can come back?”
Chu Boyang frowned and said, “I don’t mean what you think. If I were that man, I wouldn’t have let you off after seeing my face. I wouldn’t have let you come back and given you the chance to call the police.”
Ji Fengmian took a sip of water and smiled casually.
“It’s mainly because I hate her. I don’t know how happy I am to see the person I hate disappearing in front of me.”
Chu Boyang’s expression darkened. “Are you really going to watch her be taken away by the criminals?”
Ji Fengmian laughed. “Why? Do you want me to save her?”
Chu Boyang was speechless.
“Let’s not talk about whether I hate her or not. Do you think I’m the kind of person who would sacrifice myself?”
“You clearly said that that person doesn’t want money, but Ji Qing’s life…”
“What does her life have to do with me?”
Ji Fengmian suddenly interrupted him coldly and stared straight into Chu Boyang’s eyes.
“Since I can run back and even think of calling the police to save her, I feel that I’m already very kind. Chu Boyang, please don’t use your subjective thoughts to judge others. Otherwise, I believe that you will have serious antisocial thoughts in the future.”
Chu Boyang stared at her for a long time before his voice deepened.
“I always thought that no matter how much you hate someone, you’re only good at talking and won’t really hurt them. Looks like I’ve really misjudged you.”
