Just then, Jacob received a call.
When he saw the number displayed on the phone screen, his expression froze and he quickly handed the phone to Quentin: "Archbishop, there's a call for you."
"who?"
Quentin took it, lowered his eyes and looked at it. His expression was obviously stunned for a moment, then he stood up and said to the person next to him: "I'm going to go out and answer the phone."
"… "
The neutral people stood up, made way for him, and surrounded him as he left.

Independent state.
In Ji Ziyin's luxurious apartment.
The girl reached out to take the TV remote control and turned down the volume, then threw the remote control on the sofa and turned around: "What do you want to say?"
Ji Ziyin's neck turned stiffly, and her pale face looked at her, and she almost squeezed out the words from between her teeth: "We all have the same blood flowing in our veins, do you really have to do things so drastically?"
She didn't ask Qiao Nian why he did that.
"We all have the blood of the Ji family flowing in our veins. What's the difference between you and me entering the Privy Council? If you do this, none of us will be able to enter!"
Ji Ziyin's fair face flushed slightly, her earlobes were red, the veins on her neck bulged, and she pinched her palms: "I can enter the Privy Council with the help of the Queen to let more Ji family members in. You will just be a newcomer who can't do anything. I do this for the benefit of the family!"
"Tsk." The girl seemed to have expected her to say that. She raised her hands and said calmly, "Oh, you spread rumors for the Ji family that the Z country's scientific research team stole technology? You spread rumors for the Ji family that I relied on men to get to where I am today?"
Ji Ziyin was not moved at all, turned away and said coldly: "As long as I can gain a foothold in the Privy Council, these are not a problem. If you want to enter the Privy Council in the future, I will help you clear these rumors. If I want to succeed, I can't take everyone into consideration. Someone has to sacrifice for the family... If it were me today, I wouldn't have any objection."
When Qiao Nian heard her righteous words, he curled his lips and said, "If it was you? Of course you would have no objection if the knife didn't fall on you."
There are many people in the world who are like her and can talk without any pain in their waist.
If this knife really fell on them today, I'm afraid they would scream louder than anyone else.
She stood up, brushed off the dust on her clothes, stood in front of Ji Ziyin again, and narrowed her eyes dangerously: "Do you know how Ji Hongyuan's hand was broken?"
Ji Ziyin's face turned pale, and she took a small step back and held back: "What do you want to do?"
Qiao Nian didn't expect her to be so easily frightened. He put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows frivolously: "Nothing, just a reminder."
"I have a bad temper. If you keep showing up in front of me like this, I don't know what I will do."
This time she shattered Ji Zinyin's dream, but it might not be the same next time.
Qiao Nian said and was about to leave.
Ji Ziyin looked at the girl's back as she walked away, gritted her teeth, and shouted at the girl who was about to leave: "Qiao Nian, do you think you can get in if you don't let me in?"
The girl didn't stop for a moment.
This indifferent attitude was like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart.
The opportunity she treasured was like garbage in front of others, and she didn't even bother to turn her head!
Ji Ziyin bit her tongue, forcing herself not to admit defeat, and said contemptuously: "If I can't get in, you can't get in either."
"The people in the Privy Council will not let you in."
