Ji Hongyuan continued very smartly: "Yes. Madam, it's not that we don't want to wait for Ji Nan to come back, but we can't keep dragging it out, right? You said Ji Nan will be here in an hour. If he doesn't come back, we will be delayed for another day."
"We don't care, but the Ji family can't wait any longer." Ji Hongyuan's eyes flashed with cruelty, but he looked so upright: "All forces in the Independent Continent have received news that the clan leader is in trouble since this morning. We can't delay any longer..."
After he finished speaking, he pursed his lips calmly, lowered his head, picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, as if he was no longer in a hurry.
In the Juyi Hall.
Everyone was buzzing with discussion over this news.
"Wasn't the news of the clan leader's accident covered up? How did it get out?"
"If other forces knew that something happened to the clan leader..."
Seeing that the groundwork was almost done, Ji Ziyin stepped forward and said solemnly to all the elders in the Juyi Hall: "I heard that the news started to spread this morning. I guess the whole Independent Continent is about to know the news now."
Xie Yun was more angry than ever before and glared at her: "Haha, what a coincidence! This person must have had eyes and knew when to spread the news to your best advantage."
Ji Ziyin explained to Xie Yun very modestly: "Madam, you misunderstood me. The news came from Continent F. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance has business dealings there, and they were the first to know the news. I only found out this morning that they knew something happened to the clan leader."
Xie Yun's eyes darkened, a sneer formed at the corner of his lips, his face was full of indifference and anger, and he obviously didn't believe her lies.
He then said to everyone: "Anyway, Ji Nan will be back in an hour. I have no objection to you choosing a new clan leader, but I hope you can wait until he comes back!"
Ji Ziyin would not give her this opportunity. With a smile in her eyes, she said gently, "But Madam, time waits for no one..."
What a saying that 'time waits for no one'!
This was the first time that Xie Yun faced this kind of situation where she had wolves in front and tigers behind, and she also had a biological mother who was holding her back.
She could only watch as Ji Hongyuan once again asked the elders to express their opinions...

after an hour.
The plane landed at Independence State Airport.
As soon as Qiao Nian got off the plane, Feng Yu came to pick them up.
Feng Yu saw Ji Nan, who had lost a lot of weight, and greeted him politely: "Get in the car first, we'll talk later."
Ji Nan also politely called out, "Mr. Feng." "Yeah." Feng Yu turned around and opened the car door.
Qiao Nian lowered his baseball cap and bent down to get in the car first, and Ji Nan went around to the other side and sat in.
Feng Yu waited until they all got on the bus before he got on slowly and was the last one to do so.
He closed the car door.
"Go to Ji's house."
"Yes, Dean."
Without saying a word, the driver turned the car around and started driving towards Ji's house.
…
The car was driving smoothly on the road.
Qiao Nian raised his hand to open the car window to let the wind in, then he narrowed his eyes and turned to Feng Yu: "Are we back late?"
Feng Yu sighed: "You are always so perceptive."
He raised his eyelids slightly and looked at Ji Nan who was unaware of the situation. He shook his head and sighed again: "I don't know the result yet. But the current situation is not optimistic!"
"Hmm?" Qiao Nian turned his head.
Feng Yu looked at her thin face and said, "I heard that Ji Ziyin called Old Madam Xie over."
Ji Nan's pupils shrank slightly, as if his throat was being strangled: "She..."
Feng Yu spoke to him in a more normal way: "Ji Ziyin brought back someone from a hidden family this time, and that person is one of the three great leaders of the Privy Council."
