After Switching Bodies, the Mad Overbearing CEO Takes Over the Entertainment Industry Chapter 173: 173: If He Dies, I'm One Fourth Responsible

Chapter 173: Chapter 173: If He Dies, I’m One Fourth Responsible

The lifeboat was moving farther away from the ship, which was already half sunk. At this point, Ji Tian didn’t know what to say.

She could only say, “I hope he’s all right.”

Lin Shihuan didn’t take it seriously, “He wouldn’t have jumped into the sea if he couldn’t handle himself.”

Ji Tian’s expression turned unnatural, “I was the one who threw the token. If he’s dead, I’m a quarter responsible, of course, it’s entirely his fault for tailing us.”

Lin Shihuan couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Ji Tian’s peculiar nature was indeed adorable. He had thought this young girl would be scared by such a bloody scene, yet she had directly engaged in a fight with Black Spade Q and hadn’t fallen behind. Now, she was even starting to worry about the enemy’s wellbeing.

“What if he wanted your life? Could you still sit here anxiously worrying about his wellbeing?”

Ji Tian removed her mask and lowered her head, the nightti sea looked as dark as the maw of the abyss, ready to swallow anyone not paying attention. After hesitating a mont, she slowly said, “If he wanted to kill … from the very first shot, he would have aid at my head, not the fruits and vegetables beside .”

So, he never intended to draw blood; the bloody scent on him probably ca from moving through the crowd and rubbing against others.

The car stopped outside the grand mansion of the Ji family. Ji Tian flipped over the courtyard wall and used her fingerprint to enter through the main gate. It was already ten o’clock at night. The light in the living room was dim, and Ji Weinan was still watching TV, which was showing SpongeBob SquarePants, and he was gaping with laughter.

Seeing Ji Tian enter through the doorway, he recoiled onto the sofa as if seeing a ghost, glancing at her and then at the stairs, incredulous. “You… weren’t you asleep in your room? How did you co in from outside?”

“You were srized. I ca down the stairs earlier and passed behind you without you noticing.”

Ji Weinan: “…”

Really?

He was uncertain, but indeed he had been engrossed in the cartoon. Glancing at her, he asked with pursed lips, “Why did you go to sleep so early today?”

Ji Tian sat on the other side, poured herself a glass of water from the table, and answered nonchalantly, “I have a bit of a cold.”

Hearing this, Ji Weinan suddenly stood up, “Wait here for .”

The cartoon on TV was very funny. A few minutes later, Ji Weinan brought a cup with so dicine. “Little sister, drink this cold dicine. Dad, mom, and the brothers are not ho, I have to take good care of you.”

Ji Tian looked at him in surprise. It was a rarity. Ji Weinan was actually showing concern for her which made her suspect that he wanted sothing from her.

“Don’t you really dislike ? And now you are personally making dicine for ? You don’t have sothing you need to do, do you?”

Ji Weinan looked speechless, “Why are your thoughts so dirty? Even if bones are broken, tendons remain connected. You’re my sister; isn’t it my duty to take care of you? Why do you think so badly of …”

Ji Tian sniffed with her nose. She didn’t actually have a cold, why drink the dicine? Thus, she pushed it aside with her hand, “Forget it. Coming to find just gives the creeps, like a weasel greeting a chicken for the New Year. You wouldn’t want to help ask our eldest brother to find people to look for Shen Zhiyi, right?”

At first, Ji Weinan did indeed have that intention, but five days had already passed, and even the police couldn’t find Shen Zhiyi; what could he do?

He said with exasperation, “No, if you don’t want it, forget it.”

Saying this, he grabbed the dicine back and drank it himself, “Such a waste of my good intentions!”

He turned to walk upstairs when Ji Tian suddenly called out to him, “Third brother.”

Ji Weinan stopped in his tracks, lips tightly pursed. So, what exactly had gone wrong? His sister didn’t appreciate him at all.

He strained his voice, “What do you want?”

Ji Tian chuckled softly, “If you really feel guilty towards , help find out the truth. In Mingyue Village on that rainy night, I fell while chasing you. You left there, but when I tried to follow you again, a dark figure shoved down the slope. If Qin Jiangsheng hadn’t found , I would have died that night. Your kindness is only for Shen Zhiyi; you’d even sacrifice my life for her.”

Ji Weinan felt like he had been struck by lightning. He incredulously turned around, his voice trembling, “What are you saying… Weren’t you just on the ground that night? Why would soone harm you?”

Ji Tian looked at him with a half-smiling gaze and shook her head, “I don’t know, so why don’t you seek the truth for ? The day the truth cos out might just be the day we reconcile.”

After saying that, Ji Tian walked past him and headed upstairs. Ji Weinan reached out to grab her hand but couldn’t lift his arm.

He didn’t know that the night he asked Ji Tian to wait for him there would be so perilous, almost costing her life.

So everything was clear now, explaining why Ji Tian’s attitude towards him had changed drastically. The sister who once bought dicine for him when he was sick and spent all her money to cure him seed to have been lost by him.

Even on the day she ca ho, he had said such harsh words. From then on, Ji Tian’s eyes turned from disappointnt to coldness towards him.

So details didn’t withstand scrutiny—those images he was reluctant to delve into beca nightmares that haunted him.

What would he do if he could go back to that day?

Send his fallen sister ho first? Or go save Shen Zhiyi, who was rolling down the slope?

Ji Weinan’s face turned pale, and he sat powerlessly on the sofa, grabbing his hair as mories of Shen Zhiyi surfaced bit by bit.

“Ji Weinan, do all wealthy young masters like to be so aggressive? I’m just an ordinary worker, and Bai Tingyu is also threatening my salary.”

“Ji Weinan, sorry for getting your clothes dirty. Should I wash them for you?”

“Ji Weinan, it would be nice if you were my desk mate, you would never bully , right?”

“Ah Nan, I’ve found you to be a very, very, very good person, I’m almost starting to like you, haha.”

“Oops, sorry, forgot to tell you that Tingyu and I don’t need breakfast. Thanks for the trouble.”

“Who lets us be good friends? Good friends are those willing to risk everything for each other. If sothing happens to , Ah Nan, I hope you’re the first to help . That would make happy because it ans soone cares about .”

“Your sister has no worries in life; she probably really dislikes poor people. I’m used to not being liked, don’t bla her, and don’t distance yourself from her because of , otherwise, I’ll feel very bad.”

“Ah Nan, are you still controlled by your family at this age? Do you have to listen to everything your sister says? You’re nearly an adult, with your own thoughts, an independent person. You should live freely, doing what you want. Family disputes will eventually be resolved, so don’t worry.”

…

Every word from Shen Zhiyi was silently guiding him.

Ji Tian didn’t like her because she was petulant, made unreasonable demands, and looked down on poor people.

Between his sister and her, he still chose to save her.

Afterwards, he spoke harshly and broke ties with Ji Tian because he felt it was right. Why should he be controlled? He wanted to do whatever he wished.

Yet another voice denied it: It wasn’t like that; Shen Zhiyi was a very kind-hearted, wonderful person.
