TWWMABMTBH Chapter 99

What was Ji Shu’s mood at that time? Rong Ziyan can only recall Ji Shu’s constant smiling and happy calls of “brother” while circling around him. It was as if all the gloom had disappeared in that moment.

Over the next few days, Rong Ziyan took Ji Shu to work, gradually helping Ji Shu adapt to his busy life rhythm.

The child was very well-behaved, intelligent, and also able to endure hardships. He also knew how to help Rong Ziyan with work, not being annoying to the boss.

At night, as they lay on the dormitory bed, Rong Ziyan would hug Ji Shu and discuss that once he got paid, he would take Ji Shu to rent a place outside. Later, they would go to the village chief and try to get Ji Shu registered in the village.

However, these things would cost money. Ji Shu’s background was unclear, and Rong Ziyan still needed to find an excuse to get the village chief to agree.

It has to be said that the young Rong Ziyan was still quite naive and inexperienced. He sincerely wanted to rely on Ji Shu for support. Ji Shu was also having unrealistic dreams, fantasizing about staying by Rong Ziyan’s side, embracing the happiness he most longed for.

But after all, he was the Ji family’s eldest young master on the surface. Losing him for a day or two was okay, but if it went on for too long, how could they not search for him?

Just a casual remark from Old Master Ji made Ji Shu’s vicious stepmother panic. As for those eight bastards who were watching over Ji Shu just to abuse him, they finally tracked him down to where Rong Ziyan was.

They were intercepted on their way back to school.

They had gone to see a house today, and Rong Ziyan had even agreed to pay the deposit tomorrow. But they never expected that at the last moment, he would be discovered.

Ji Shu had been abused for too long, and his first reaction upon seeing his enemies was to be terrified.

Rong Ziyan hid him behind his back, taking the initiative to confront them. When Ji Shu saw Rong Ziyan taking action, he instinctively picked up a brick from the ground.

Those people, those who had bullied him, those who had wanted to kill him, now also wanted to bully his brother.

No, he wouldn’t allow it!

Having been abused for five years, Ji Shu’s pain tolerance was far greater than any child his age. With Rong Ziyan in his heart, he didn’t even care about his own life, wishing he could kill all the bastards in front of him immediately.

There was a lot of blood, a sky-covering red.

Some was Rong Ziyan’s, some was Ji Shu’s, and some was from those bad people.

Rong Ziyan remembered staggering and pulling Ji Shu into the school’s water room. Those people dared not enter immediately, giving them a moment to catch their breath.

Rong Ziyan trembled as he tried to call the police, blood constantly flowing from the wound on his head.

Ji Shu was crying uncontrollably, trying hard to press down on Rong Ziyan’s wound with his hands.

But Rong Ziyan stuffed all the money he had into Ji Shu’s hand.

“No, I won’t go,” Ji Shu stubbornly shook his head.

Rong Ziyan was also rarely stubborn, forcefully putting his school uniform on Ji Shu, “I don’t know where you came from, but those people clearly want to find you no matter what. The school’s dorms are empty during summer vacation, really. So once they discover this, they will come after you very soon.”

“You are very smart, you know how to run away, right? I’ll hold them back, you find a way to run out from the back. Here’s the key, keep it safe.” Rong Ziyan put the key to the back door of the dormitory in Ji Shu’s hand.

“Listen to me, if you don’t think reporting to the police here is safe, then find a way to get on a bus to Beijing.”

“Go east, to that farmer’s market, there are trucks delivering vegetables to Beijing 24 hours a day. Take the money and negotiate with the drivers, find a truck that leaves immediately, don’t stay in the county seat.”

“When you get to Beijing, ask people where the municipal public security bureau is, if that doesn’t work, then go to the TV station. Go to the TV station to report the case, if the TV can broadcast your story, then those who harmed you won’t dare to hurt you again.”

Rong Ziyan’s head was spinning, but he was still racking his brains to plan a way out for Ji Shu.

But Ji Shu kept shaking his head.

Rong Ziyan hardened his heart, “What are you waiting for if you don’t leave!”

Ji Shu opened his mouth, his voice completely hoarse, but he still pleaded softly, “Brother, don’t leave me behind, let’s go together.”

There were eight people, how could Rong Ziyan withstand them? Ji Shu had been beaten by them and knew how much it hurt.

Rong Ziyan was bleeding, and he couldn’t bear to see him getting hurt. As for himself, he would just be caught, at most, it would just be death. What was there to fear?

But Rong Ziyan seemed to see through his thoughts, reaching out and hugging Ji Shu, “Listen to me, when you run away, come back to find me. Brother keeps his word, we will definitely rely on each other for life from now on.”

“Don’t worry, they want to catch you, if you disappear, they won’t do anything to me. At most, I’ll be a little hurt, you understand?”

Rong Ziyan wasn’t certain when he said this, but he understood that if he stayed, he could still live. After all, he had no connection to these people, and they wouldn’t dare to kill someone openly in the county high school.

But if Ji Shu was caught, he would surely face a terrible fate.

Perhaps the beautiful dream Rong Ziyan painted was too tempting, Ji Shu finally agreed.

He took the money, wore Rong Ziyan’s school uniform jacket, wiped the tears and blood off his face, and decided to flee to Beijing.

“Brother, I’m leaving.” At the dormitory door, Ji Shu held Rong Ziyan’s hand and said goodbye to him.

“You look quite good, remember to eat more when you get back, don’t be so thin when I see you next time.” Rong Ziyan smiled, pinching Ji Shu’s almost fleshless face, then watching Ji Shu hide himself, he took the only thermos bottle in the dormitory and smashed it hard on the ground.

With a “bang”, those who were still wandering in the dormitory looking for someone instantly locked their target on the source of the sound.

Ji Shu then took the opportunity to run away from the back door of the dormitory. At the same time, Rong Ziyan promptly called the police and blocked his dormitory door tightly.

After that, they broke open the dormitory door, discovered that Ji Shu had disappeared, leaving only Rong Ziyan, attacked him in retaliation, the police showed up, Rong Ziyan was seriously injured, losing the memory of knowing Ji Shu.

Then, Ji Shu successfully escaped, bumped into a benefactor at the TV station, exposed the truth of the case, and shocked the entire country.

Boss Fat, who initially didn’t want to get involved in the messy affairs of the Ji family, felt sympathy for this nephew and helped Ji Shu go abroad to seek refuge.

Ji Shu was abroad but did not forget to look for Rong Ziyan, who had saved him. At first, he was afraid of the Ji family’s retaliation and dared not look. When he had grown stronger, Ji Shu’s network of connections finally reached out. He wanted to find his little brother from back then, wanted to truly rely on him for life.

Unfortunately, Rong Ziyan didn’t tell Ji Shu the truth from the beginning, Ji Shu always thought Rong Ziyan was older than him, a university student. Even the name he used was fake. By the time they finally traced it back to his village, Rong Ziyan had already left the county high school and gone to the agricultural university. And had forgotten about Ji Shu.

At the police station, when Rong Ziyan’s old case was brought up again, Old Wu finally revealed the truth about Rong Ziyan and Ji Shu’s first meeting, “At that time, the boss was going to look for you.”
