Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs Chapter 127 - Ji Buwang Meets Shao Qiyang

Chapter 127: Ji Buwang Meets Shao Qiyang

Mu Jingzhe felt that if this had anything to do with the person who had been caught in the park, it would mean that someone wanted to kill her at all costs!
This was terrifying. Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but shiver. She very much wanted to deny it, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized it wasn’t impossible.
Since the culprit hadn’t succeeded twice, what if they struck a third time?
The first and second time, she had escaped unscathed, but would she be lucky enough to escape for the third time?
And what if escaping meant she had to pay an even heavier price? Little Bei was still lying in the ward.
The doctor had said that Little Bei had been really lucky this time. Otherwise, her face might have been disfigured or something else could have happened.
The consequences were severe enough, and she didn’t want something like this to happen a third time.
Mu Jingzhe shared her speculations with the police and kept her guard up.
If this was a direct or open confrontation, it might be a little better. The way things were now, it was like there was an unknown person staring at you from behind like a venomous snake, wanting to kill you at any time. It was completely terrifying.
On the way back, after giving a statement at the police station, Mu Jingzhe was vigilant and constantly kept an eye on the people nearby, wanting to find the perpetrator.
She thought to herself that she should keep some defensive items on her body at all times in the future, such as the fruit knife and the chili powder that had helped her last time.
Usually, chili powder was used as seasoning, but at critical moments, it could be used as a weapon.
Mu Jingzhe thought about it and asked around where she could find chili powder. The spicier and more choking it was, the better.
She wanted to prepare some more, but she was even more worried about Little Bei, so she went back to the ward first.
Little Bei had yet to wake up. Not long after she returned to the ward, someone rushed over unexpectedly—Ji Buwang.
When Mu Jingzhe heard the knock on the door and saw Ji Buwang, she thought that she was seeing things.
“Ji Buwang, why are you here…” Before she could finish, Mu Jingzhe was hugged.
Ji Buwang had pulled Mu Jingzhe into his arms. Only after sensing that she was really alive and well did he let out a sigh of relief.
“You scared me to death.”
After such a huge thing had happened, before Mu Jingzhe had even woken up, Director Lu had already arranged for someone to contact her family to prevent them from being worried if they accidentally saw the news or heard about it.
Ji Buwang had asked Director Lu to take good care of Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei and contact him if there was anything new.
Ji Buwang had been the first to hear the news. When he’d heard that there was a fire and that Little Bei and Mu Jingzhe were still unconscious, he’d immediately rushed over.
Mu Jingzhe, who was caught off guard, was greeted with a hug. Hearing the lingering fear in Ji Buwang’s voice, she hesitated for a moment and patted his back.
“I’m fine.”
“Why didn’t you contact me when you woke up? Didn’t I give you my number? Didn’t I ask you to contact me whenever you need anything?” Ji Buwang asked after letting go of Mu Jingzhe.
“I’m alright, so I didn’t contact you. Besides, I was busy taking care of Little Bei when I woke up, so I didn’t manage to get in touch.”
“I’m really worried about you. Until you go back, I’ll stay in Ocean City.”
“I think there’s no need for that?” Mu Jingzhe was a little hesitant. “Don’t you have something to attend to?”
Ji Buwang didn’t listen. Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief. Later on, he took the initiative to buy lunch, saying that Mu Jingzhe was also a patient.
The moment Ji Buwang left, another person who shouldn’t have come appeared in front of Mu Jingzhe.
“Shao Qiyang? Why are you here too?”
Shao Qiyang’s eyes were red, and he didn’t notice that Mu Jingzhe had said the word ‘too’. Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was standing there, alive and well, he heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when he saw the bandage on Mu Jingzhe’s forehead, he was shocked. “Are you okay? Are your injuries serious?”
Shao Qiyang had also heard the news and was a step behind Ji Buwang.
There was no phone at home, but there was a phone in the post office. He had also left his phone number with Director Lu and told him to contact him if anything happened.
When Shao Qiyang had heard this, he’d remembered the venomous snake incident. He couldn’t care less about anything else, so he had taken time off to rush over.
Along the way, Shao Qiyang had been worried and tormented. The moment he saw Mu Jingzhe, he felt an urge to pull her into his arms.
However, just as he reached out to pull Mu Jingzhe close, the latter reacted quickly. “I’m really fine. Little Bei is here. Come with me.”
Shao Qiyang felt a trace of regret, but his attention was quickly attracted by Little Bei.
Mu Jingzhe, who was very guilty, whispered to Shao Qiyang, “I originally planned to contact you guys to tell you about the situation. It’s all my fault that Little Bei was injured.”
“Don’t blame yourself. You’ve been really good to them. She just did what she wanted.”
If it were him, he would not have hesitated to save Mu Jingzhe.
After they whispered a few words, Ji Buwang returned.
This was the first time the two of them met. As soon as Ji Buwang came back, he realized that there was someone in the ward. Shao Qiyang looked over warily, and for the first time, he saw Ji Buwang.
Shao Qiyang’s first thought was that this person had entered the wrong ward. Later on, when he saw his outstanding appearance, he thought that he was a member of the film crew.
Ji Buwang’s first thought was also that Shao Qiyang was a member of the production team, so the two of them immediately smiled and looked at Mu Jingzhe.
Mu Jingzhe quickly introduced them to each other. “Shao Qiyang, this is Ji Buwang. He’s an art school teacher and also my… friend. When he heard that something happened here, he came to visit me.
“Ji Buwang, this is Shao Qiyang, Little Bei’s uncle and my brother-in-law.”
Ji Buwang and Shao Qiyang: “…”
Shao Qiyang’s eyelids twitched when he heard the name ‘Ji Buwang’ because he had heard from Xiao Wu at home what a wonderful person he was and that he had provided the school with musical instruments.
At the time, although he had suspected why Ji Buwang would do this, he hadn’t expected this to involve Mu Jingzhe.
In the end, he’d really had an ulterior motive?
Shao Qiyang was very sensitive. When he sensed that something was amiss, he felt that something was wrong with Ji Buwang’s gaze. Besides, a person who was supposed to be in his hometown had suddenly appeared in Ocean City even earlier than him. What did that mean?
That meant that he had rushed over as soon as possible.
He had come here because he was worried about Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei. What about him? Was he also worried about Mu Jingzhe?
In an instant, Shao Qiyang had a lot of thoughts. Upon looking at Ji Buwang’s attire, he knew that this person had to be quite eligible. Besides, his appearance was outstanding.
Shao Qiyang was filled with vigilance. He had known that someone would discover Mu Jingzhe’s brilliance sooner or later, but he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.
Ji Buwang was also vigilant because of Shao Qiyang’s vigilance. Although he couldn’t see anyone’s face, he was very sensitive to other people’s emotions and hostility.
This wasn’t the vigilance and mood of a brother-in-law. Shao Qiyang’s condition and mood were so strange that it didn’t seem like he should have such a reaction to his sister-in-law. He was even hostile to him.
Could this brother-in-law of hers like Jingzhe just like him?
Ji Buwang quickly glanced at Shao Qiyang, wishing he could see his face.
However… This was Shao Qiyang. This name sounded familiar, and only a single word was different. This made him involuntarily think of a person deep in his memory.
But that couldn’t be. Mu Jingzhe’s husband was dead.
Nevertheless, Ji Buwang still probed. “The name Shao Qiyang is a little familiar. Actually, I knew someone called Shao Qihai in the past.”
Shao Qiyang and Mu Jingzhe, who were stunned, asked two questions in unison.
“You know Shao Qihai?”
“You know my older brother?”
