The two of them have been inseparable lately, so it feels strange to be separated for a while. Xie Zhuzhou doesn't like this feeling.
After having their meal, the two went directly to see their second brother.
To his surprise, Li Yankai was still there. Xie Zhuzhou was astonished that their relationship had become so good.
That makes sense; Li Yankai and his second brother are both talkative people, so they'll probably get along well.
But didn't my second brother lose his memory?
Why are you still bothering Li Yankai?
Why are you still here?
"I want to go back too, but your second brother offered me too much, so he made me stay and keep him company," Li Yankai whispered in his ear. "That's 20 times the daily wage of a coffee shop worker."
Xie Zhuzhou: "..." Zhang Yin couldn't act as well as Li Yankai. The inspirational persona didn't collapse at all. If he didn't know the truth, he would have been fooled by Li Yankai's appearance.
Sure enough, there wasn't a single normal person around him!
"Alright then, the coffee shop is indeed a bit busy." What else could Xie Zhuzhou do? Li Yankai was a nice person, and he was too lazy to embarrass him; he could even cooperate.
"Second brother, are you feeling better? Has the housekeeper brought you your meal?" As his blood brother, Xie Zhuzhou felt he had been a good younger brother. He always bullied his brother, so when his brother got into trouble, he always regretted not being nicer to him.
Of course, he only feels a little pain when he thinks about it, and it's not very painful. If his second brother were willing to give Aolai to him as an heir, then he would feel a little more pain.
"The housekeeper brought me my meal, I'm full, and I'm fine now." Ji Wangyun's serious demeanor was completely different from his appearance two days ago.
He sized up Chu Yanzhang, who had just arrived, and couldn't help but frown slightly. Why did he find this guy increasingly annoying? Always following his younger brother around—didn't Chu Yanzhang have a younger brother of his own?
Second brother, do you remember Little Yan?
"I don't remember."
"That makes sense. It would be strange if he remembered. My second brother has never been very bright, but he remembers Aolai the most."
Ji Wangyun: "..."
As soon as it was time to leave work, Ji Wangyun's ward became lively. Ji Wangchen and Ji Wangyan, who had visited once in the morning, came over to take another look after work.
As soon as Ji Wangchen arrived, he went straight to the point with Xie Zhuzhou, saying, "You don't need to go to Aurora Future. Go to your second brother's company instead. You've already been there."
Xie Zhuzhou: "... Brother, I think this is a bit hasty. I only have 25 days left in my internship."
"So spend the rest of your time at your second brother's company. Some of the people there are restless; you can go and check them out."
Xie Zhuzhou's expression changed slightly as he looked at Ji Wangyun lying on the bed.
Ji Wangyun shrank back, not daring to meet his younger brother's gaze.
The younger brother is so fierce, just like his taciturn older brother. His smile is terrifying too...
"So, I'm just a brick." Xie Zhuzhou smiled as he looked at his second brother, who was out without bodyguards. "You really are my good second brother."
But what else can we do? He's just a tool for his younger brother.
The older brother seems to know how to use his younger brother.
Now he finally understood why his father was so insistent on him joining the company to familiarize himself with its affairs; for example, in this situation, he was a substitute.
"While you receive your salary from Aurora Future, you can also receive your second brother's share."
Hearing about double wages, Xie Zhuzhou's mood calmed down a bit.
"You might have to deal with the Jin Family, so be careful," Ji Wangchen continued to instruct, unconcerned even with outsiders present.
This matter wasn't exactly a secret, so the occasion didn't matter.
Ji Wangchen glanced at the ward environment, then noticed that Ji Wangyun's complexion had improved somewhat, and left without lingering.
Ji Wangyun pulled the blanket down a little, peeked out, and said to Xie Zhuzhou, "Why don't you just stay? From what my brother said, it sounds very dangerous."
"Fine."
Xie Zhuzhou didn't want to go either, but the thought that if Ji Wangyun's company went under, the Xie Zhuzhou Ji Family would lose a key asset made him uneasy. After all, he was just a college student who dreamed of living off his parents.
Don't go bankrupt right after graduation, leaving only an empty shell.
This world is strange; they don't provoke others, but there's always someone provoking them.
Although it is said that one earns a living through one's own abilities, those powerful and influential people at the top of the food chain do not feel any remorse for using ruthless and vicious methods.
He glanced at Ji Wangchen one last time, their eyes met, and they understood each other.
Oh, he seems to have forgotten something important, which is... he has a plot-driven cheat ability.
Last night, the police and the Ji Family's investigation failed to yield any further results. The SUV was a very common model on the market, and the license plate was fake. It was clearly a premeditated car accident, and the team managed to cover their tracks without leaving a trace.
The driver was also wearing a fake hood; no such person could be found.
Fortunately, Little Yan found some clues, and the evidence points to Jin Renwei's assistant's cousin, but the evidence is not yet sufficient, and further investigation may take some time.
"Second brother, get some rest. Cherish this time off from work and focus on recovering."
Ji Wangyun: "?"
Ji Wangyun watched Xie Zhuzhou's departing figure, his heart filled with complex emotions. Although he had lost his memory, he instinctively sensed that things were not simple. The attitudes of his elder brother and younger brothers made him realize that he might have been drawn into a major storm.
Li Yankai, sitting beside him, seemed to sense his unease. "Don't worry, Brother Wangyun, just focus on getting better. Zhouzai is amazing! Don't let his seemingly useless appearance fool you; he's actually incredibly strong!"
Ji Wangyun nodded, but he couldn't help wondering how many important things he had forgotten. He vaguely remembered some blurry fragments about the car accident, like scenes from a dream, but he couldn't piece together a complete memory.
Just then, the ward door was pushed open again, and a woman in business attire walked in. She was holding a folder in her hand and had a professional smile on her face.
"Mr. Ji, I'm your assistant, Xiao Liu. There are some documents from the company that need your signature." She handed the folder to Ji Wangyun.
Ji Wangyun took the folder somewhat blankly, opened it, and saw that it contained some company financial statements and contracts. Although he couldn't understand them, he didn't want to show weakness in front of his subordinates, so he braced himself and was about to sign them when he suddenly realized, "Who told you I was here? And what method do you have to prove that you are Xiao Liu from the company?" Although he didn't know who Xiao Liu was either.
"It was Ji Wangyan who told us. It seems you really don't remember anything. Well then, please rest well. We'll handle the company matters." Xiao Liu put away the folder and politely left the ward.
Seeing Ji Wangyun's blank expression, Li Yankai couldn't help but laugh, "Someone must be testing whether you're faking amnesia."
Ji Wangyun: "..." Good heavens, shouldn't their family be harmonious and loving, shouldn't they be respectful and loving brothers?!
Why are you still testing me?
What about trust between people?
Does he seem like he's faking it?!
