Who Am I

Chapter 40

Hearing Ji Yushi ask this, although Song Qinglan didn’t know the reason for his question, he subconsciously softened his tone, “What Chief Wang?”

Chief Wang of Tiangqiong’s Jiang City Branch.

Female, fifty-three years old, gentle temperament, decisive and resolute when making decisions, and often breaks cups when angry.

Ji Yushi clearly remembered her face and her smile, including the perfume she used.

But why was Song Qinglan saying that the Chief of the Jiang City branch was someone surnamed Qi? And there was only one chief?

Ji Yushi had a bad feeling. All kinds of thoughts swirled in his mind. What went wrong? Where they still in a state of being hijacked and hadn’t truly returned? Did Tianqiong once again put an illusion into their minds, forcing them to enter a new mission? Or was there something wrong with his memory and everything was overlapping and a mess?

Ji Yushi’s expression tensed up. He turned a little paler and the look in his eyes alternated between tension and hesitation. It was Song Qinglan’s first time seeing him like this.

Song Qinglan’s heart fell slightly. He remembered Ji Yushi’s psychological assessment report.

Even people with a strong mind and strong personality would suffer from different degrees of psychological trauma after experiencing something like that. Everyone in the seventh squad more or less had some sequelae. Some they were aware of while others lurked in their subconscious minds. Fortunately, it all could be controlled and that was why they were granted a three-month vacation.

But it was different for Ji Yushi. The expert’s assessment result for him was: Perfect.

Song Qinglan was the captain so he was present during the meeting. The expert wasn’t very optimistic about the result because Ji Yushi was like a student who could recite the correct answer without much trouble. He scored high in every answer, but it wasn’t because it really was the case for him.

The two had interacted long enough to have established tacit understanding. Song Qinglan stepped forward and held Ji Yushi’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but lower his voice, “Advisor Ji, what did you think of?”

Ji Yushi’s lips were tightly pursed. He spoke with difficulty, “I want…..to clear my mind first.”

With that, he took out his medicine box from his pocket.

Taking too much medicine wasn’t good but Ji Yushi’s expression didn’t look great.

Song Qinglan immediately turned around and returned to the ward with a glass of water. Before arriving, he had already tested the temperature using the back of his hand, “It’s warm.”

Ji Yushi placed a tablet in his mouth and the received the water from Song Qinglan.

He took a sip, raised his head and the jut on his throat moved as he swallowed it in one go.

His figure was thin and slender, and his complexion was fair. At this moment, he wore a white shirt and black trousers, making him look clean and refreshing. This was also what he wore when he first arrived at Jiang City. When they first met, Song Qinglan felt that Ji Yushi was like a pine tree beside a snowy lake but now, he felt that there was a sense of undetectable fragility to him as well.

Did Ji Yushi often use drugs to keep his mind clear?

Or was it only occasionally?

There weren’t many people on this floor and very few people used this corridor.

After taking the medicine, Ji Yushi quietly closed his eyes for a few seconds. The medicine obviously wouldn’t take effect so quickly, but it was enough to make him feel better psychologically.

When he opened his eyes again, some clarity was restored in his eyes. Seeing that Song Qinglan was still standing beside him with concern, he said, “Cap Song, do you still remember the person who arranged our mission and the person who transferred me to Jiang City?”

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, “Cap Song! Advisor Ji!”

The teammates walked over cheerily having finished packing up.

Zhou Mingxuan asked, “What are you two doing here? Waiting for us?”

Tang Qi hooked his arm around his brother’s neck and smiled, “Cap Song, weren’t you going to go there together with Chief Qi? You specially came to get us?”

Song Qinglan answered naturally, “Specially coming to get you? In your dreams. I’m here to wait for Advisor Ji.”

Everyone: “Tsk! Differential treatment!”

As soon as they were no longer performing their mission and placed in a serious and tense environment, this group of tall and strong young men were like ruffians. If they were outside, passers-by would take a detour around them.

Everyone chattered on, but they were all joking around. It was evident that everyone was in a good mood.

“Advisor Ji isn’t from here, so he doesn’t have a car. I’m in charge of picking him up and dropping him off.” Song Qinglan said as a matter of factly, “Furthermore, tonight is not only a meal with Chief Qi, it’s also a farewell party for Advisor Ji.”

After eating, Ji Yushi would return to Ning City. He had booked tickets for the afternoon.

Everyone now remembered the matter of Ji Yushi leaving the seventh squad.

The seven of them entered the elevator noisily.

Ji Yushi stood in the corner. Li Chun sneakily leaned forward and asked, “Advisor Ji, will you miss us when you return?”

“Haa.” Duan Wen said, “Advisor Ji’s skin is too thin. Can’t you see how depressed he is now? He’s clearly already sad about leaving.”

Ji Yushi: “……..”

Except for Li Chun, the rest of the seventh squad had their own cars. Li Chun had always taken Duan Wen’s car so when they got out of the elevator on the first floor, they all went to pick up their car from the command centre.

Song Qinglan had already gone out a few times before this so his car was parked in the underground parking lot.

After everyone left, Ji Yushi followed Song Qinglan all the way to the underground floor.

The underground parking lot wasn’t too cramped. When they reached a certain place, the light above them suddenly flickered. One of it was broken.

Ji Yushi was left stunned for a few seconds.

In the underground passage of Runjin Building, hanging lights, pale hands reaching towards them, and the endless sound of gunshots, all rushed to his mind in an instant.

But it only lasted a second or two, and everything was gone.

Song Qinglan interrupted him.

“Here.” Song Qinglan opened the car door, “Get in.”

It was a light silver sports car with smooth lines and paint that reflected light brightly. It sat quietly in the middle of the parking lot.

Song Qinglan who wore casual clothes stood next to the car with a hint of a smile in his eyes looking like a car model.

Ji Yushi got on and fastened his seatbelt, “Did you embezzle or are you a rich second generation?”

Song Qinglan wasn’t a low-key person in private either. His family background and abilities together formed his domineering personality. He started the car and drove out, “Then it must be embezzlement. See how well we are treated here? Have your thoughts wavered, Advisor Ji? I can give you half of the money I’ve embezzled.”

After removing the captain shell, he was no different from other ordinary young men. That is, with the exception that his conditions were better.

Song Qinglan wore a watch with a simple face design on his wrist. Someone in Ji Yushi’s family just happened to also have one like that and the price wasn’t simple at all. The big hands that easily welded all sorts of weapons were at this moment holding the steering wheel loosely. Ji Yushi couldn’t help but recall the feeling of his hands when they were being held by them.

His impression of it was that it was warm, and very powerful.
