On the deck of a military ship.
It’s surrounded by soldiers.
Song Zhizhi and Wei Ziming stand in a corner.
Song Zhizhi asks with concern, "Is Brother Ziming’s leg okay?"
"It’s fine. Don’t worry about it." Wei Ziming doesn’t seem bothered.
"Don’t push yourself too hard."
"It’s just a minor injury. Soldiers are bound to get hurt."
"But this ti, it’s because of ." Song Zhizhi feels so guilt.
Wei Ziming looks at her.
Noticing that even her face bears nurous scars from the dangerous journey they’ve been on.
He licks his lips, forcing himself to look away.
He says, "Zhizhi, there’s sothing I need to tell you."
"Okay." Song Zhizhi looks at him.
"I ca to find you because of a ssage from your father. He wanted to co himself, but I told him it could be dangerous here and asked him to wait at ho."
"I’m glad dad didn’t co."
Wei Ziming nods.
Given the peril, Song Shan, now an old man, can’t manage such turmoil.
Wei Ziming then says, "Upon reaching Yanshang Country, I ran into Ji Baijian and Yin Qin. We decided to search for you together as we had the sa goal. Along the way, Ji Baijian exhibited calmness and accurately predicted where you could be. Thanks to him, we managed to find you quickly."
Song Zhizhi isn’t sure what Wei Ziming wants to say.
Is he complinting Ji Baijian?
It doesn’t seem like it.
Wei Ziming continues, "Arriving at the deserted island, we split into two groups. I gave Baijian and Yin each a weapon, and they didn’t even ask how to use them."
And then?
"Last night, Baijian and Yin went to divert so of the Corpse Organization. While we dealt with those left behind, Baijian managed to take down three by himself. Of those three, the infamous underground boss, Shi Laite, a terror to everyone who knew his na, was subdued by Baijian with one shot."
Song Zhizhi bites her lip.
Wei Ziming says, "Just imagine the kind of figure Shi Laite is. Yet he was defeated by Baijian. Do you think that an ordinary person could do that?"
Song Zhizhi realizes what Wei Ziming is implying.
"I’m not trying to slander Ji Baijian or suspect him. But Zhizhi, Ji Baijian isn’t as simple as you think he is. I hope you beco a little more cautious. At least figure out who Ji Baijian really is and why he’s concealing his identity!" Wei Ziming says, very seriously, "I hope you understand what you’re doing, rather than just blindly trusting soone."
"Okay." Song Zhizhi nods.
"I won’t say more. Officer Zhai will escort us back to Yanshang Country’s waters. When we get ho, I’ll head straight back to my unit. Xiaolang will stay by your side."
"Okay."
Having said what he needed to, Wei Ziming turns to leave.
Song Zhizhi stands alone on the deck, staring fixedly at the endless sea before her.
Who exactly is Ji Baijian?
Ji Baijian is more complicated than he seems.
Ji Baijian...
She had said she wouldn’t force Ji Baijian to reveal his identity.
Because she trusts him.
But that’s exactly how she felt about Yi Wenhan in her previous life.
