Ji family manor.
Ji Hongyuan swaggered towards the reception room and asked the Ji family servant who was walking in front of him and called him over: "Did the clan leader tell you why he wanted me to come over?"
The servant just lowered his head and walked in front, not daring to speak nonsense: "Sixth Elder, I don't know. The clan leader didn't tell me, he just asked me to ask you to go."
Ji Hongyuan frowned: "The clan leader didn't tell you anything?"
"No." The servant answered vaguely.
Seeing that he couldn't get the answer, he felt more and more puzzled, and strode into the reception room of Ji's manor with his head held high.
The servant who led the way had already stopped at the door and didn't dare to go in casually.
Ji Hongyuan went in alone.
As soon as he entered, he found that Ji Lingfeng was not the only one in the reception room. Many older generations of the Ji family were there, and the circular conference table was full of people.
Everyone was whispering and discussing something.
When everyone saw him come in, they shut their mouths as if they had agreed to something, sat upright, and had no expression on their faces, not making any eye contact with him.
"Clan leader." Ji Hongyuan frowned, already beginning to sense something was wrong. He did not notice the other members of the Ji family, and went straight to greet the man sitting in the main seat.
"Yeah." Ji Lingfeng was as gentle and elegant as ever. He seemed tough but was polite to him: "Sixth Uncle, sit down."
Ji Hongyuan pulled open the first seat on Ji Lingfeng's left and sat down. As soon as he sat down, he immediately asked impatiently, "Patriarch, what do you want me to do?"
Looking at the situation today, he guessed that something big had happened in the family.
However, up to now, Ji Hongyuan has not received any news, so he doesn't know why Ji Lingfeng wants to call him.
The servant came in and brought tea and water.
Ji Lingfeng didn't beat around the bush. He placed his hands on the conference table, his eyes still showing no emotion as usual, and his tone was polite and warm: "Sixth Uncle, Qiao Nian came to my house and said that you had touched the Jiang family in Jing City. Is that true? How come I didn't know about this beforehand?"
His tone of voice was clearly so polite, but Ji Hongyuan's expression suddenly changed and he looked at Ji Lingfeng in shock.
Ji Lingfeng still had the same expression, his eyebrows didn't move, staring at him, and continued: "Qiao Nian asked the Ji family to show an attitude. What attitude do you think I should show her?"
"Clan, clan leader." Ji Hongyuan's neck seemed to be pinched by someone, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, but he could only squeeze out these words dryly.
Ji Lingfeng was not in a hurry, and said elegantly: "Sixth Uncle, take your time to think about it. I asked you to come here today just to ask and hear the truth."
After he finished speaking, he tilted his head back, politely picked up the tea on the table in front of him, lowered his eyes and drank it slowly, clearly giving Ji Hongyuan enough time to think.
Ji Lingfeng took the lead and stopped talking.
No one in the Ji family dared to speak.
There was a moment of silence in the huge reception room. An oppressive low pressure lingered in the hearts of every member of the Ji family, weighing them down.
Ji Hongyuan has been in the Ji family for decades, and his family is already buried in the dirt up to his neck.
He has seen all kinds of storms in his life.
At first, he was just shocked that Qiao Nian could find out about him so quickly, which really surprised him.
Ji Hongyuan was briefly shocked, but soon calmed down.
"Chief, what are you going to do with me?" He knew that Ji Lingfeng was not as easy to fool as he seemed, so he didn't make things too embarrassing for himself.
