Chapter 20: Don

At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Rong Ci happened to look over and happened to see the word "Baby" displayed on the caller ID of his phone on the table.

Rong Ci thought she wouldn't care anymore.

But after all, having loved for so many years, how could she just let go completely just by saying so?

Her eyes were stung by those two words, and she immediately shifted her gaze.

Feng Tingshen noticed the deep pain in her eyes when he looked up, but he didn't shy away at all and answered the phone in front of her, his tone gentle: "What's wrong?"

Feng Jingxin also noticed the movement on Feng Tingshen's side.

In Feng Jingxin's memory, Feng Tingshen would only show such a gentle side when facing Lin Wu.

She forgot for a moment that Rong Ci was also there and asked happily: "Dad, is it Auntie Aunt Aunt Wuwu?"

Feng Tingshen said indifferently: "Mm."

Feng Jingxin just wanted to say that she also wanted to chat with Auntie Aunt Aunt Wuwu, but remembered that Rong Ci was still there, and thinking that Rong Ci didn't like Lin Wu, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

But her good mood was affected.

She frowned her little eyebrows, couldn't help but think, if only Mom could get along well with Auntie Aunt Aunt Wuwu.

Lin Wu didn't know what she said on the other side, but Feng Tingshen frowned with worry, and without even finishing his breakfast, he left in a hurry.

Seeing Feng Tingshen leave in such a rush, Feng Jingxin couldn't help but worry as well.

However, because Rong Ci was there, she didn't ask.

But she also had no appetite for breakfast, pulled Rong Ci up and said: "Mom, I'm done eating, let's leave quickly."

Although Feng Jingxin didn't say it out loud, Rong Ci saw all her reactions.

She knew she was in a hurry to leave because she wanted to know the situation on Lin Wu's side as soon as possible.

But she didn't say anything.

She said: "You haven't eaten much, take some to eat in the car."

"No need, I'm not hungry—"

Rong Ci paused.

She didn't insist anymore.

After getting into the car, Feng Jingxin didn't wait even a second; after sitting in the back seat, she immediately sent a message to Lin Wu.

Rong Ci saw it but didn't speak.

A while later, Lin Wu replied, saying it was just a fever and cold, nothing serious.

But Lin Wu's voice still sounded a bit hoarse, and Feng Jingxin was still very worried, immediately sending a message to Lin Wu saying she would go see her after school in the afternoon.

When the message was sent, Feng Jingxin felt a bit guilty.

She hadn't eaten the food Rong Ci made for a long time; she had originally planned to eat with Rong Ci tonight.

However, fortunately, she hadn't had time to say it yet.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Rong Ci in the driver's seat, and seeing that Rong Ci hadn't noticed her situation, she felt relieved.

Arriving at school, Feng Jingxin hugged Rong Ci affectionately: "Mom, then I'm going in."

"Mm."

Feng Jingxin didn't notice Rong Ci's indifference and hopped into the school.

Not long after returning to the company, Rong Ci received news that Feng Tingshen had something temporary to attend to, and the meeting originally scheduled for ten o'clock this morning was postponed to the afternoon.

Feng Tingshen's so-called "something to attend to" was actually going to personally take care of the sick Lin Wu.

Rong Ci had no reaction and focused on her work.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Feng Tingshen should have returned to the company, because Jiang Zhe notified everyone that there would be a meeting at three o'clock and asked her to brew a cup of coffee for Feng Tingshen again.

During the meeting, after Feng Tingshen entered the meeting room, Rong Ci's typing hands suddenly paused.

His clothes had been changed.

It wasn't the outfit from the morning.

He went to see Lin Wu in the morning; Lin Wu was sick, they might not have really done anything, but it was also very likely that Feng Tingshen felt sorry for Lin Wu and went to bed to accompany Lin Wu to sleep, coaxing her to sleep...

Thinking this, she was in a trance for a moment.

Perhaps thinking she was obsessing over him regardless of the occasion, when she came back to her senses, she found Feng Tingshen looking at her coldly.

Remembering his gentleness and care for Lin Wu, and his impatience and indifference toward her, Rong Ci clenched her hands into fists and withdrew her gaze.

Not long after the meeting ended, Jiang Zhe came to find her, saying her handover work was almost done, and she wouldn't need to come to the company tomorrow.

Rong Ci: "I understand."

Even if Jiang Zhe hadn't mentioned this, after she finished the work on hand, she would have taken the initiative to find him to bring it up.

Since he came personally, it saved her a trip.

Jiang Zhe didn't expect Rong Ci to agree so readily.

"You..."

Rong Ci reached out: "Thank you for your care over these years."

Jiang Zhe hadn't come back to his senses yet, but he also reached out and shook her hand: "You're welcome."

Rong Ci packed up her things and left.

Jiang Zhe couldn't believe that Rong Ci really just left like this.

"What are you dazing for?" Cheng Yuan patted him on the shoulder.

"Rong Ci has left the company."

Cheng Yuan was stunned: "Really?"

Was she really willing to leave the company? Why didn't he believe it?

He sneered: "She left now, but that doesn't mean she won't find a way to come back. Just wait, it probably won't be long before she comes back with the help of Old Lady Feng."

Jiang Zhe didn't speak.

Although it was a bit unbelievable, from the feeling Rong Ci had given him recently, he felt that Rong Ci was serious.

After leaving the Feng Group, Rong Ci returned home directly.

It was estimated that her thoughts were back on Lin Wu, and for the next two days, she didn't receive any more calls from Feng Jingxin.

Late the next night, Chu Zilan had a fever, and Rong Ci hurriedly closed her book, picked up her car keys, and went out.

It had been raining all day, and even at this time, the rain showed no signs of letting up.

Chu Zilan lived in the old city area; at this time, there were no people or cars on the road.

She bought some medicine at a pharmacy near Chu Zilan's residential area, and just as she was closing her umbrella and getting into the car, the passenger door was suddenly opened, and a tall figure sat in.

Rong Ci's heart jumped, and just as she turned her head, a black gun barrel was aimed at her.

"Don't move."

The man was dressed all in black, wearing a mask, and his hat brim was pulled very low, making it impossible to see his face, but the look in his eyes as he watched her was cold and sharp.

Rong Ci raised her hands slightly and didn't move again.

The man took away her bag and phone: "I won't do anything to you. After you take me to the place I need to go, you can leave."

Without waiting for Rong Ci to react, he ordered coldly: "Drive."

The surroundings were empty, not a single car or person, and the pharmacy was quite a distance away...

As Rong Ci calculated in her heart, she noticed a thick smell of blood in the car.

Rong Ci paused, started the car, and asked: "Where to?"

"Go straight, to Rongdong Pier." He added: "I will tell you exactly how to go."

"No need, I know the way."

Rong Ci said, driving the car out.

Afterwards, Rong Ci focused on driving, the man didn't speak again, and the car became quiet.

Rongdong Pier was an hour away from here. Along the way, Rong Ci's expression was completely devoid of panic, and she drove the car steadily and accurately, not taking a single wrong turn.

The man held the gun, and the look in his eyes as he watched her slowly changed.

But Rong Ci didn't notice.

A while later, the man said: "Park under the banyan tree in front."

Rong Ci: "Alright."

The car stopped steadily by the side. The man's gun was still aimed at her. As he got out of the car, she took back her bag and calmly rummaged through it in front of him, saying: "I have wound medicine here."

In this half hour, the smell of blood permeating the car had become thicker and thicker; she knew the other party was likely seriously injured.

The man paused but ignored her, getting out of the car directly, his figure soon disappearing into the darkness.

Since the other party refused to accept her kindness, Rong Ci didn't force it and turned the steering wheel to leave.

A few minutes later, the man boarded the boat that was picking him up and took off his hat and mask.

At this moment, his phone rang. He answered the call while having someone treat his wound.

Before he could speak, Qi Yuming hurriedly opened his mouth: "Changbai, are you okay? My people said they didn't pick you up, where are you?"

"There was a bit of an accident, I've already arrived at the pier now."

"That's good, how could such a thing happen? You scared me to death!"

A moment later, after hanging up the phone, He Zhangbai looked at the tall banyan tree in the distance and fell into deep thought.

Rong Ci returned to Chu Zilan's place half an hour later.

Chu Zilan had taken the medicine and drank some porridge, her spirit a bit better, but she frowned: "Why do I smell blood? Xiao Ci, are you hurt?"

"No."

That man was injured; when he took her phone and bag, blood got on them.

After she returned, she had actually wiped them, but now it seemed they hadn't been wiped completely clean.
