"She suddenly attacked our data ponent 10 minutes ago. I don’t know what she’s doing." The manager of the Information Department reported the situation methodically.
Jian Jin’s expression turned ugly, and she immediately looked at the man sitting behind the wide desk.
Lu Zhi frowned and said in a deep voice, "I understand."
The department manager did not understand what he meant. "CEO Lu, are you going to contact Sun?"
Lu Zhi placed his hands on the black desk, making his cold, white skin look shocking. No one could tell what he was thinking. They only heard his cold voice, "Leave."
The department manager’s heart skipped a beat. Even though he did not understand what Lu Zhi was thinking, he could feel that the atmosphere at this moment was abnormal.
He bade farewell to Jian Jin haltingly and left the office.
When he disappeared, Jian Jin faced Lu Zhi again. "QIAO has already fallen out with Nie Qingru. We can’t stay neutral forever."
Lu Zhi’s temples tightened as he looked up. "I’m not only representing myself, but I’m also responsible for Tian Chen."
Furious, Jian Jin waved her hand excitedly. "I don’t understand! In the past, we could risk our lives for each other. Why are we afraid to do anything now that we’ve bee better? Then what’s the point of us gritting our teeth and risking our lives to get to where we are now?"
Qiao Nian had returned to Rao City.
Back then, she and Lu Zhi stayed in the illegal district and went through a lot to achieve the current Tian Chen step by step.
She also cherished Tian Chen.
But were these more important than Qiao Nian?
She would always remember her original intention—for her friends to live a better life and not be controlled by others.
That was why they created Tian Chen.
Jian Jin looked at him sadly. "Do you remember your original intention?"
Lu Zhi’s thin lips were pursed into a straight line. His gaze met hers, and the air was shockingly silent.
Jian Jin suddenly lost interest in this confrontation and turned her head away first. "I know you’re smarter than me. I’m stupid, so I follow whatever you say. But it’s different this time. You’re carrying the fate of thousands of people in Tian Chen. You can’t make the decision. I’m different. I’m just a small assistant. I can’t represent others, only myself."
She turned to look at Lu Zhi again. Her eyes were as determined as if she had returned to her childhood. "I only remember that it was QIAO who dug me out of the pile of dead people back then. She was so hungry that she almost ran out of strength, and even fed me the only food she had on her. If she hadn’t saved me, I wouldn’t be alive now and wouldn’t have bee the Jian Jin I am today. I owe her my life!"
To be precise, she owed more than just a life.
Back then, Qiao Nian had dug her out of the pile of dead people and brought her not only life, but also spiritual salvation.
After that, Qiao Nian also taught her martial arts. She trained her body again and again to ensure that she would not be defeated and eliminated by those mercenaries.
At that time, they faced the possibility of death every day.
Once they lost, they would die.
She had never been a strong person. Every night, she hid under the blanket and cried secretly. But she was afraid of being discovered and did not dare to make a sound.
During that long period of repression, Qiao Nian was her faith. She was the reason why she could firmly believe that she could live.
Jian Jin’s eyes reddened. She wiped away her tears and looked away stubbornly. Then, she pulled off the nameplate on her chest and placed it on Lu Zhi’s desk. "I’m leaving. Take care of yourself."
