The night got deeper.
Song Zhizhi lay in bed.
Had she really lost her mind?
In her previous life, she hadn’t found Ji Baijian as attractive as she did now!
Biting her lip lightly, Song Zhizhi cursed Ji Baijian as a beast.
Steadying her emotions, Song Zhizhi snapped back to reality and said, “I know.”
“Hmm.” It seemed Song Zhidao was also still awake.
“Do you think the accident was normal?” Song Zhizhi asked.
Looking from the perspective of a person who knew nothing, was it normal?
Song Zhidao furrowed his brows slightly and slowly said, “Not really. The first car collision could be explained as a traffic accident, but for the second car to also hit… even thinking about it now sends chills down my spine.”
Song Zhizhi nodded, “Exactly. Some things aren’t as simple as they appear. And something just occurred to me.”
Ji Baijian was right to remind her just now.
She might die before the truth comes to light.
Nie Wenzhi, upon seeing her strong resistance, would definitely be wary. Fearing things might not go as planned, he would silence her first. At this point, any cause of her death could be reasonably explained. Nie Wenzhi was always cunning and ruthless.
Song Zhizhi said, “Zhidao, I think I need a bodyguard.”
Song Zhidao frowned, “What are you suspecting?”
Her brother wasn’t stupid. Having the same parents, his intelligence was on par with hers. It was only because he was deceived since he was young that he was led astray by certain people and couldn’t see things clearly.
At this moment, with her slight hint, Song Zhidao could also vaguely perceive something strange.
But she didn’t want to explain it to him now. With Nie Wenzhi’s deep-rooted influence in their family over many years, it would be hard for her to convince anyone without any evidence.
She didn’t answer Song Zhidao, and said directly, “If I ask my dad for a bodyguard now, just after he got angry with me, he might refuse out of pride. Besides, I don’t want to make things difficult for him. So, I need vou to make this request for me.”
“Alright.” Song Zhidao nodded.
“I need two.” Song Zhizhi said, “You should have one too.”
“Do I need one?” Song Zhidao said, “It’s inconvenient as I’m still in school. The school administration is very strict; nothing will happen.”
Song Zhizhi pondered for a moment. According to Nie Wenzhi’s current strategy, he wouldn’t target Song Zhidao specifically. If Song Shan lost his son and was hit too hard, he would lose his ambition in business. And Nie Wenzhi still needed to cling to Song Shan’s power.
“Then just be careful and take care of yourself.” Song Zhizhi advised.
“Yes, besides, we’ve received basic combat training.” Song Zhidao wasn’t too concerned, “You go to sleep first. I’ll call our father now.”
“No, discuss this matter with dad in person when you go home tomorrow. Avoid others. I’m afraid something could go wrong in between,” Song Zhizhi quickly said.
Song Zhidao didn’t understand why his sister had suddenly become so suspicious but thinking about the accident that happened today, he nodded, “Alright.”
Song Zhizhi bit her lip and lay back in bed.
This time, she was determined to protect her loved ones. She wouldn’t let her family be ruined and perish under her watch!
The next day.
Song Zhizhi took a leave from the police station and didn’t report in. She lay in the hospital for one day. After another check to confirm she was unharmed, she prepared to be discharged.
Just as she had completed her discharge procedures, Song Zhizhi saw Song Zhidao coming in from outside the ward.
Song Zhidao had gone home early that morning to hire the bodyguards Song Zhizhi requested. Song Shan must have agreed immediately, or else Song Zhidao wouldn’t have come so quickly with people.
Song Zhizhi looked at the two people behind Song Zhidao, a man and a woman. Well, presumably a woman.
She knew the man.
Had known him since she was a child.
Wei Ziming.
He was eight years older than her. He was a child her mother, Wei Lanlan, had sponsored in the orphanage before being married. He usually stayed in boarding school and rarely returned home after her mother passed away. At the age of 18, he joined the army and had been there ever since.
Even though he wasn’t close with the Song family and didn’t participate in politics, he was indeed her father’s right-hand man. He would unconditionally support her father no matter what happened.
Song Zhizhi didn’t have a deep impression of Wei Ziming. Occasionally, her father would mention how capable he was in the army, receiving commendations year after year, and being promoted year after year. At only 30 years old, he had already achieved considerable recognition, the only person in Yanshang Country at this age to achieve such success.
Of course, Song Zhizhi wouldn’t naively think that Wei Ziming, with his current achievements, would be her personal bodyguard. So at that moment, she shifted her gaze to the woman behind Wei Ziming.
To say she was a woman, you really had to look carefully to confirm.
Her hair was practically cropped short. Her facial features were not crude but not delicate. She had an ordinary face, was taller than an average girl, probably about 1.7 meters, and wore a black tracksuit. At first glance, there was nothing special about her.
Song Zhizhi thought, this should be her bodyguard.
Sure enough, at this moment Wei Ziming spoke, the seriousness of a soldier in his voice, “Luo Xiaolang, from now on your job is to protect her- -Song Zhizhi.”
Luo Xiaolang.
Quite a special name.
Song Zhizhi saw her pitch -black eyes staring directly at her. She walked up to her and respectfully said, “Hello, Master. My name is Luo Xiaolang. From now on, I will protect you with my life.”
Master.
Song Zhizhi was taken aback by the surprise.
Was this girl from ancient times?
She said, “Just call me by my name, Song Zhizhi. I’ll rely on you from now on.”
She then extended her hand to shake Luo Xiaolang’s.
Luo Xiaolang’s hand was filled with calluses.
The moment she was gripped, Luo Xiaolang’s face seemed to turn a little red.
It seemed like she was a shy older sister..
