Ji Lingfeng didn't say anything, he just stood up, pushed the chair, and said softly: "The Ji family will never bow down to anyone."
*
On the other side, He Lin had already received a feedback call from the Ji family.
He said something to Qiao Nian and hurried to answer it.
Qiao Nian leaned back in his chair, lazily waiting for the result from the Ji family.
five minutes later.
He Lin came back, looking very worried.
As soon as Qiao Nian saw the expression on his face, she basically guessed the answer.
"Which one did the Ji family choose?"
She gave two options, one and two.
He Lin quickly raised his eyes to look at her, as if he had thousands of words to say, but in the end, he only condensed them into one sentence: "The clan leader has punished the Sixth Elder and deprived him of his position as the Punishment Hall Elder. Young lady, this punishment is already very heavy for the Sixth Elder. He is an elder of the direct lineage of the Ji family and has contributed to the Ji family all his life. The clan leader will not hand him over to you."
"He has done his best within the scope of what I can explain to you."
He Lin emphasized the four words "achieve the ultimate" with a heavier tone.
Qiao Nian had been waiting for his final answer with a dark look in her eyes. She was not surprised at all when she heard the result. She slightly pushed down the brim of her cap, revealing her delicate and eye-catching face with a rather defiant look in her eyes: "So the Ji family chose the second option?"
He Lin was silent.
Qiao Nian actually gave the Ji family two choices: first, hand over Ji Hongyuan, and this matter had nothing to do with the Ji family; second, protect Ji Hongyuan and she would completely break with the Ji family.
Although Ji Lingfeng punished Ji Hongyuan, he obviously did not choose the second option. He just compromised between the two options and gave Qiao Nian a third answer.
He punished Ji Hongyuan privately, but would not hand Ji Hongyuan over to Qiao Nian!
"OK." Qiao Nian didn't argue. She pulled out a chair and stood up: "I understand."
He Lin was a little panicked when he saw her leaving: "Young lady, there is no need for you to be so hostile to the Ji family, right? Your father is fine, and the Sixth Elder has been punished, so why do you have to hold on to this matter? In fact, as long as you bow your head a little, the Ji family is willing to let you go back. If you return to the Ji family, you will be the hope of the Ji family's direct lineage, and you will surpass Miss Ziyin in a minute."
He had told Qiao Nian before that he had a chance to surpass Ji Zinyin.
What he is talking about now is that he can surpass Ji Zinyin in every minute.
indeed.
Qiao Nian has brought too many surprises to the Independent Continent in less than three months. Now every force in the Independent Continent has its eyes on this newcomer to the research institute.
Everyone is trying their best to win over this incredible newcomer.
Especially ten days ago, Qiao Nian relied on Feng Yu's relationship to directly enter the Level 8 laboratory and came into contact with the core experimental project led by Shi Fu.
This has attracted even more attention from all the major forces in the Independent Continent!
In this case, as long as Qiao Nian is willing to give the Ji family a way out, it will only be a matter of time before she returns to the Ji family.
"Young lady, you really don't need to be an enemy of the Ji family. Being an enemy of the Ji family will not benefit you in the slightest. The Sixth Elder is not someone you can touch. The clan leader has already vented his anger for you."
He Lin knew that Qiao Nian was powerful, but in his heart, no matter how powerful Qiao Nian was, he was just a human being, not a god.
The Ji family is a towering tree.
A big tree has deep roots.
If Ji Lingfeng had not stepped forward this time, Ji Hongyuan would never have received any punishment for this matter.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Zongjin is nothing more than an ant who is not worthy of being on the stage in the eyes of everyone in the Ji family. He is even more fragile than an ant.
