He would never use verbal attacks if he wanted to be harsh with a child.
"Then you..."
"I just told her that I am not the same person as her father."
He did not elaborate further.
At that moment, scenes from the ship replayed in Mong Si's mind.
Tong Tong was a good child; after he explained that he was not her father, she did not feel scared or leave immediately but instead wanted to take him with her.
In Mong Si's memory, he had always been the one who was abandoned, so he never expected that a small child would not give up on him in a moment of danger.
It was a lie to say that he was not moved.
The warm voice of "Daddy" from Tong Tong, soft and sweet, began to echo in Mong Si's ears again. He asked impulsively, "What is Tong Tong's current condition?"
Zhu Junjie did not want to bring up Tong Tong with Mong Si, as her current state was concerning. He detailed Tong Tong's situation to Mong Si.
"The psychologist said that knowing what happened after Tong Tong was kidnapped might provide a way to communicate with her."
Mentioning Tong Tong, Zhu Junjie lost his temper, "She's still just a child; she is innocent. As long as she can recover, I will give you any property under my name!"
"Do I need your money?"
His wealth could last him several lifetimes; he did not care about the little assets under Zhu Junjie's name at all.
"Besides money, I can't give you anything else."
After saying this, Zhu Junjie sighed heavily and continued, "I... can let go of our past grievances. The fact that you had someone kidnap me and hurt me can be wiped clean!"
"I don't care whether you hold grudges against me or not."
"...Then what do you want? Stop acting like a shy girl and be straightforward!"
After saying this, he recalled what his father had told him, "I know you want to replace my identity, but that's impossible."
He had his own bottom line and people he wanted to protect. He could not abandon them to take on burdens that were not his to bear for Mong Si.
"If you disagree, what are you still doing here?"
"You haven't told me how those people treated Tong Tong when you went to save her."
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
Mong Si briefly described Tong Tong's state when he entered the cabin and how those people threatened him using her. He painted a vivid picture, detailing even Tong Tong's expressions and physical reactions at that time.
Listening to this made the veins on Zhu Junjie's forehead throb violently. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Are you... are you even human? Those people already had a dagger at Tong Tong's neck; with just a little more force, she wouldn't have had any chance of surviving! How could you take such risks without caring?"
Zhu Junjie knew the process was dangerous but did not expect it to be this perilous. If the other party decided to act decisively and cut the artery in Tong Tong's neck...
Zhu Junjie felt a shiver run down his spine at the thought of that scene.
"She's not my daughter, why should I care about her life or death?"
If he hadn't taken the gamble back then, both he and Tong Tong would have fallen into an even more dangerous situation, and perhaps neither of them would have survived.
He had to take a ruthless gamble for them to have a chance at life.
That fool Zhu Junjie didn't realize that he had carefully considered this decision at the time.
"You... you..."
Zhu Junjie pointed at Mong Si, wanting nothing more than to strangle him.
Mong Si looked at him with mockery in his eyes, "If you're so worried about Tong Tong, why didn't you go save her sooner? This is how I saved her; if you have objections, the events have already happened!"
Zhu Junjie stammered.
He wanted to curse Mong Si out.
But what Mong Si said was indeed the truth; if he cared about Tong Tong, he should have gone to save her himself, ensuring she suffered no harm at all.
He hadn't gone to find her, so what right did he have to criticize Mong Si?
"Do you want to hear more?"
"Yes! Why wouldn't I want to hear?"
Zhu Junjie's face turned red with anger, but even so, he still wanted to know the complete story.
Mong Si was deliberately tormenting Zhu Junjie, detailing the process of how those people tortured Tong Tong, while being brief about everything else.
"Is that all?"
"Yes, that's all. If you think the process is lacking, I can come up with more for you."
The events were indeed thrilling, but they belonged to Mong Si.
Mong Si didn't want to reveal the entire process of saving Tong Tong to Zhu Junjie, as he had no intention of establishing a heroic image in Zhu Junjie's mind.
"Did you just make up everything you told me?"
"If you think it's made up, then it is."
Zhu Junjie: ...
Talking to Mong Si was exhausting!
But judging by the injuries on Tong Tong, what Mong Si said completely matched up.
Mong Si must not be lying.
Having asked all the questions he needed, Zhu Junjie stood up with a grim expression and intended to leave.
As he turned around and saw the cup of water on the table, he hesitated for a moment before pushing the cup closer to Mong Si and leaving the hospital room.
The sound of the door closing echoed, and Mong Si looked at the water on the bedside table. He had hardly drunk any water in the past few days, except during meals. After talking so much with Zhu Junjie just now, he felt a bit thirsty. He picked up the cup and drank it all in one go.
Outside the door, Zhu Junjie avoided the gaze of two bodyguards and clapped his hands. Who told him to carelessly push the cup to a place where Mong Si could easily reach it? If he had known that Mong Si would disregard Tong Tong's well-being, he should have added something to that cup of water!
Frustrated, Zhu Junjie returned to Tong Tong's hospital room to find Song Lan. Once back in the room, he briefly recounted what Mong Si had said. After hearing those words from Mong Si, Song Lan would surely be unable to handle it well. Zhu Junjie deleted everything that could be deleted as he spoke, observing Song Lan's emotional changes. If her emotions fluctuated too much, he would immediately stop.
Song Lan was someone who did not show her emotions outwardly. She understood Zhu Junjie and worried that he might hold back details out of concern for her feelings, so she maintained a calm demeanor throughout. By the time Zhu Junjie finished speaking, her tense body was already showing signs of soreness.
"Mong Si must have been afraid that the other party would exploit his weaknesses, which is why he didn’t show any concern for Tong Tong. He was alone without any support; if he fell into those people's hands along with Tong Tong, things would have been dire," After Zhu Junjie got over his excitement, he sorted out what Mengsi told him. Mong Si was a rational person; every step he took was calculated.
While listening to Mong Si talk about this matter, Zhu Junjie became dizzy from the tense atmosphere that Mong Si had deliberately created, feeling an urge to grab Mong Si and give him a good beating. It was only then that he realized this might be Mong Si's twisted sense of humor.
"Mm." Song Lan nodded slightly, fearing that if she spoke too much, her emotions would become unstable; she chose not to say more.
