Chapter 66: Unexpected Discovery

  When Yu Jing arrived, a fish-flavored shredded pork, a stir-fried celery, a bowl of steamed eggs with winter bamboo shoots, and a sugar vinegar carp had all been served. In some ways, Yu Jing was similar to Tan Jieyan - when busy, they could only eat takeout.

  Even when going out to socialize, the dishes are exquisite, but they are all hotel food. No matter how you eat it, you feel like something is missing. So they also eat just to fill their stomachs, and seem to have forgotten what a simple home-cooked meal looks like - plain white ceramic plates piled high with food, without any unnecessary frills, yet somehow making your appetite surge.

  If Ji Yan really had to choose Tong Jing, Yu Jing picked up a piece of tender fish meat with chopsticks, which tasted very good. The usually gloomy face had a hint of affirmation, and perhaps it was also a good choice. Although Tong Jing was not excellent, Ji Yan didn't need an extremely excellent virtuous assistant, just someone who could take care of his daily life. Tong Jing was quite suitable for this role. For the past five years, she had been obedient and never made any moves because of Ji Yan's identity, even when there were occasional situations that arose. However, Yu Jing noticed that Ji Yan didn't get angry about it; instead, he would worry. Perhaps this was just the fate between people.

  Watching Tan Jieyan eat a lot of sweet and sour carp, Tong Jing smiled again, her whole body was warm and cozy, as if every cell was being ironed by something called happiness.

  Now she is no longer Xiao Qi, but Tongyuan, an ordinary person born in an orphanage and with a five-year senior-junior relationship with Tan Jieyan. Does that mean she can put down everything that belongs to Xiao Qi and just be an ordinary person, living an ordinary life, without having to make herself stronger or become a burden to anyone?

  After dinner, Tong Jiao was preparing to wash the dishes, but Li Cheng took over this greasy task. Tan Jiayan and Yu Jing went to the study room. At 7:30, Beijing in winter had already completely darkened, but with the heating on at home, it didn't feel cold. Standing on the second-floor balcony, Tong Jiao looked outside through the window, even though she was idle, she didn't have the same chill as when she used to be alone in her apartment.

  Who is that person? Although it was just a fleeting silhouette, Tong's instincts were good, and more importantly, the training from back then had been deeply imprinted on her soul. So even though it was just a fleeting shadow in this darkness, Tong still felt a sense of familiarity.

  Driven by instinct, Tong Jiang forgot to take his overcoat and rushed downstairs and out of the door. Xihuyuan Community is very large, with strict security checks, each building is independent, with front and back yards, walls, and evergreen trees planted all over, towering into the clouds, blocking out the sky and sun, making the entire Xihuyuan Community not only quiet but also secretive.

  If it wasn't for standing by the window on the second floor, the line of sight was very coincidental, and through the gap between the trees, a fat figure was glimpsed, making Tong Liang think of Liu Kang, and he quickly followed.

  The residents of Xihu Garden are all high-ranking officials, so others think it's just a high-end residential area with extremely strict security. But outsiders watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway, and Tong Qiang immediately understands that the design of this community is perfect, cleverly hiding every house, unless intentionally, otherwise people entering and leaving the house will not be seen by others, with excellent confidentiality and privacy.

  Hiding behind the thick trees, Tong Jiang arrived too late. The black car outside the west gate of Xihu Garden quickly drove away. Tong Jiang only had time to see that the driver's window did not have time to roll up, and a man's profile flashed by before disappearing.

  As Liu Kang turned to leave, Tong Jiao hesitated for a moment, and instead of avoiding him, took a step forward, looking at the license plate number, whether it was useful or not, perhaps this could help Guan Yao.

  "How did you end up here?" Liu Kang's face sank, his stout body quickly approaching Tong Dang, in the darkness, his complexion was ominous and somewhat frightening, a pair of eyes flashing with fierce and venomous cold light.

  Tong Jiang didn't answer, quickly sending the license plate number to Guan Yao. Liu Kang arrived in front of Tong Jiang and saw the phone in his hand, immediately understanding what was happening. He stretched out his hand to grab it, coldly scolding, "Say, what did you see? Who did you send a message to?"

  Seeing Liu Kang's furious face, Tong Jiang felt relieved instead. The man who just left was likely to have a very special identity, otherwise Liu Kang wouldn't have personally escorted him out, and he wouldn't have looked at him with such a sinister gaze, as if he wanted to kill him on the spot. Tong Jiang dodged to the side, using the large tree in front of her to quickly stuff her phone into her pants pocket.

  "Tong Jiang, you should know that killing someone is too easy for me!" After failing to snatch the phone, Liu Kang didn't make another move, but his eyes turned icy cold and he smiled cruelly. In his gaze, Tong Jiang seemed like a dead person already. "That day at the Kyoto Club, it was Guan Yao's car that picked you up, right? The Guan family has great power in the military district, but in Beijing City, my Liu family is not to be trifled with either. With just one word from me, I can have you killed and then find someone to take the fall. Even if Guan Yao investigates me, there won't be any evidence!"
