h4Chapter 364: Chapter 364: It’s Okay, Don’t Cry/h4

    Yamamoto Yu’s attitude towards Ji Wei was quite unique, and he even nearly took her in as an adopted daughter. Miyata had heard this from Beichuan. If Ji Wei were to die right in front of him, he truly didn’t know how to exin it.

    Miyata disliked being threatened. His brows knitted tightly, but the current situation left him no room for such preferences.

    He kept a cold face and pondered for a long time before finally letting out a sigh: "Fine, I can agree. As long as you obedientlye with us."

    The shard of porcin in Ji Wei’s hand remained pressed against her neck as she looked toward the direction of the living room.

    There, Xi Nanfeng was still being held at gunpoint by men in ck.

    "Tell your men to lower their guns first!" Ji Wei ordered coldly.

    Miyata reluctantly waved his hand behind him.

    The two men in ck standing near Xi Nanfeng grudgingly lowered their guns.

    Now that no guns were pointed at him, Xi Nanfeng strode toward Ji Wei in long, hurried steps. The two men in ck scrambled to follow and raised their guns at him once more.

    "Ji Wei, you can’t go with them!" Xi Nanfeng’s expression was more serious than it had ever been.

    Ji Wei shook her head at him, signaling that there was no need for him to say more.

    "Mr. Miyata, tell your men to leave. I’ll go with you." Ji Wei spoke icily again.

    Following her words, Miyata signaled for the men in ck to retreat, and Ji Wei began walking out of the kitchen.

    Before she took a step, her gaze inadvertently flicked toward the back of the refrigerator.

    Miyata’s men withdrew to the courtyard gate. Ji Wei turned back to nce at Xi Nanfeng. "Take care of her."

    The "her" naturally referred to Qin Sixue.

    When Ji Wei approached, still clutching the shard of porcin, Miyata’s face darkened unpleasantly. His voice was cold and heavy: "Miss Ji, are you nning not to cooperate?"

    Ji Wei sneered, "Dealing with someone like Mr. Miyata, it’s always better to have a contingency."

    Miyata was so infuriated that his moustache bristled and his eyes bulged, but there was nothing he could do. He motioned for the men in ck to open the car door.

    Ji Wei got into the car.

    The group hade swiftly and left just as quickly. In the blink of an eye, quiet returned to the courtyard.

    Xi Nanfeng stood where he was, his fists clenched tightly, hating himself for not being able to save Ji Wei!

    After quite a while, Xi Nanfeng suddenly recalled what Ji Wei had said before she left. As if realizing something, he quickly rushed into the kitchen.

    Behind the refrigerator, Qin Sixue was covering her mouth tightly with her hands, stifling any sobs. She was curled up in a ball, her entire body trembling.

    Just now, while she was washing dishes, Ji Wei had hastily urged her to hide. She had never experienced something so horrifying before, her heart filled with terror.

    "Miss Qin, those people are gone."

    Seeing the woman cowed and trembling in fear, Xi Nanfeng’s tone softened uncharacteristically.

    Qin Sixue raised her eyes. Upon seeing that it was Xi Nanfeng, she threw herself at him without a second thought.

    Her force was so strong that it made Xi Nanfeng stumble.

    Qin Sixue buried her head in his chest, and the sobs she had suppressed for so long broke out atst.

    Looking at the woman weeping uncontrobly in his arms, Xi Nanfeng lifted his hand, hesitated for a long moment, and then finally ced it gently on her back, patting it softly. "It’s alright now, don’t cry."

    Qin Sixue continued to sob, but the fear in her heart gradually subsided with the man’s presence.

    ...

    Yamamoto Yu was in the courtyard, feeding a fierce and robust guard dog.

    When he saw Ji Wei being brought back by Miyata Ichiro, he raised his head, a smile spreading across his face. "Miss Ji, you’ve returned after all."

    Ji Wei gave a detached and cold smile. "With such a show of force from you, Mr. Yamamoto, how could I dare note back?"

    The guard dog, upon seeing the stranger, barked viciously at Ji Wei. But Yamamoto Yu bellowed, "Akita! Stop barking, she’s my guest."

    The dog, called Akita, gave a couple of low, reluctant growls before lowering its head in submission.
