"Then... what does her question mean? Does he like Mong Si?"
When Zhu Junjie said this, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.
"Perhaps she's confused. We haven't told her that someone looks just like you."
"Should we tell her?"
Mong Si saved Tong Tong. Zhu Junjie had never thought about taking credit for it because he had a grudge against Mong Si and didn't want Tong Tong to have any connection with him.
Now that Tong Tong was asking, Zhu Junjie felt uneasy, fearing that Tong Tong might say, "He's a liar."
"Mong Si is Tong Tong's savior; I don't think there's a need to hide it. If you have other thoughts, I will choose to respect them."
Song Lan wanted to convey to Zhu Junjie that she had always been on his side regarding Mong Si.
"I... what other thoughts could I have? It's a fact that Mong Si saved Tong Tong; I can't change anything. I'll find an appropriate opportunity to tell her the truth."
After saying this, Zhu Junjie felt restless. "If Tong Tong knows the truth, will she think I'm not brave enough for not finding her sooner?"
Zhu Junjie had always wanted to be the perfect father in Tong Tong's eyes, but when it came to saving her, he felt he was far behind Mong Si.
"You were also making efforts to save her at that time."
Song Lan sensed Zhu Junjie's anxiety. "In Tong Tong's heart, you are her father; that won't change."
Zhu Junjie cared deeply for Tong Tong, and no one could deny that. Tong Tong wouldn't stop recognizing Zhu Junjie just because Mong Si saved her once. If that were the case, it would indicate a problem in her upbringing.
"I..."
Zhu Junjie irritably ran his fingers through his hair.
Suddenly, he remembered that Song Lan hadn't been doing well these past few days either, so he forced himself to calm down. "I'm sorry; I'm just feeling a bit insecure. I promise I won't let it happen again."
Song Lan gave him a slight smile and briefly explained what Mong Si had said about saving Tong Tong.
"He said saving Tong Tong was to make me feel indebted to him? Is he out of his mind! He hurt me so badly; I haven't even settled the score with him yet! Does he think I'll be bound by him just because he saved Tong Tong? He's overthinking!"
He appreciated Mong Si's actions on his own terms; if Mong Si intended to use this as leverage against her, it was something he absolutely couldn't tolerate.
Zhu Junjie's tone was irritable.
"Don't get too worked up just yet. From his reaction, that's not really what he thinks."
If Mong Si saved Tong Tong with such intentions, he has now achieved his goal and will not remain in a state of wandering soul.
"I think this is his true face!"
"Perhaps he believes that by saving Tong Tong, he has gone against his original intention. What he says now is just to save face."
In this analysis, Mong Si and Zhu Junjie still share certain similarities.
"That person is ruthless and has done countless bad things to be wanted by Interpol. His saving Tong Tong absolutely..."
Zhu Junjie just realized that his emotions become uncontrollable when he mentions Mong Si.
He did not continue, saying, "I'll go see him. If he really has a request that isn't excessive, I can fulfill it!"
The debt of gratitude owed to Mong Si felt like a thorn in Zhu Junjie's throat. He told Song Lan that he was going to find Mong Si.
Song Lan wanted Zhu Junjie to calm down, but then thought that since Mong Si was in poor condition, Zhu Junjie's temper might flare up, and he might say something that could provoke Mong Si. Given that Mong Si already harbored resentment towards Zhu Junjie, if they started arguing, perhaps Mong Si's emotions would be released and he would return to a normal state.
"Bang!"
In front of Mong Si's hospital room, Zhu Junjie raised his foot and kicked the door open.
Mong Si was lost in thought; upon hearing the sound, he looked over and understood when he saw the imposing Zhu Junjie at the door.
A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes as he continued to stare at the ceiling.
Zhu Junjie felt ignored and quickly walked up to Mong Si, looking down at him from above. "Did you not say you wanted me to feel indebted to you? Now I'm right in front of you; what conditions do you have? You can speak!"
He wanted to see what kind of demands Mong Si could make now that things had come to this point!
Mong Si ignored him.
In the large hospital room, apart from Zhu Junjie's somewhat hurried breathing, it was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.
The two bodyguards at the door sensed an impending storm and exchanged glances before wisely closing the hospital room door.
"Why aren't you speaking?" Zhu Junjie placed his hands on his hips. "Don't think I don't know you have a belly full of schemes! You want me to take your place in prison? Let me tell you, that's not happening! We have an old saying in Hua Guo: 'One person does the crime; one person serves the time.' If you have the ability to commit acts that get you caught by Interpol, then you should have the ability to bear the consequences. Trying to drag innocent people down with you shows a lack of courage!"
Mong Si regarded Zhu Junjie as a clown and did not respond to him.
Zhu Junjie had a bad temper; the more Mong Si acted this way, the angrier he became. He angrily pointed at Mong Si, "Don't play dead with me! When you sent someone to kidnap me back then, weren't you quite capable? Why are you so cowardly now?"
Mong Si looked at Zhu Junjie as if he were an idiot, his disdainful gaze pouring fuel on Zhu Junjie's anger.
Zhu Junjie's fury surged up; his reason scattered like ashes as he quickly bent down and grabbed Mong Si by the collar. "You deserve a beating! Hiss!"
Zhu Junjie raised his fist and aimed it at Mong Si's face. Before his fist could make contact, Mong Si reacted quickly, landing a punch on his left cheek.
Zhu Junjie was caught off guard; he hadn't expected Mong Si to fight back. Although he didn't feel much pain, his face was knocked to the side. Mong Si looked at his hand and sarcastically said to Zhu Junjie, "You're just a flower in a greenhouse. Let me remind you of a fact: I've knocked down more people than you've ever seen. Even if I'm injured now, it's hard for you to hurt me."
"You..."
Zhu Junjie, filled with pride, couldn't allow himself to be looked down upon. Angered and embarrassed, the hand that had touched his cheek transformed into a fist aimed at Mong Si.
Mong Si didn't dodge or evade; as Zhu Junjie approached him, he quickly grabbed Zhu Junjie's wrist, trying to twist it forcefully to break it.
Zhu Junjie sensed Mong Si's intention and swiftly shook his wrist, pulling his arm free from Mong Si's grip. He had experienced Mong Si's ruthlessness before.
Mong Si's recent move was both fast and fierce; Zhu Junjie couldn't imagine what would have happened to his wrist if he had been even a moment slower in retracting his arm.
Mong Si glanced at the empty space where Zhu Junjie's hand had been and remarked, "I thought you were just a three-legged cat in terms of skills, but it seems you're more like a four-legged cat."
Mong Si's blatant mockery infuriated Zhu Junjie. However, he was well aware of his own abilities. The technique he had just used to escape from Mong Si's grip was something he had honed while playing around with A-Hu.
If he could be a bit underhanded and disregard everything else to pin down Mong Si's leg, he could give Mong Si a severe beating while he was in extreme pain.
