Ji Ziyin turned away her eyes and said softly, "I'm just making a suggestion. If you elders think what I said is wrong, you don't have to take it to heart."
"I'm just worried that the same thing will happen again. After all... there are so many forces in the Independent State waiting in the dark, what if..." She didn't continue.
The faces of the few elders present who could understand what was said changed, and they looked at her angrily.
Only those who don’t understand would think that Ji Zinyin is worried about the family. Those who understand know that this is a blatant threat!
Although the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder and others were very angry, they had to re-examine her "suggestion".
For no other reason.
Before Ji Nan came back, they promised him to wait a little longer to see if they could get any news from the clan leader.
But now the hidden family behind Ji Ziyin is pressing forward step by step, and is even capable of doing such a thing. They have to worry that other forces will follow suit...
Time passes by every second.
Several elders have already begun to waver in their reactions to this sense of oppression.
Some people were discussing in low voices.
Some people looked embarrassed.
Ji Ziyin curled the corners of her mouth slightly and looked at this scene. She felt that she had already grasped the victory and was about to succeed.
Just then, a voice that she would have nightmares about came from outside the door.
"Tsk, seeing so many people outside, I thought you had sorted out everything."
Everyone looked towards the door.
The people watching at the Rose Branch Hall subconsciously made way for the girl to pass.
Qiao Nian pulled up his baseball cap and walked out of the crowd. He walked to the center and glanced at the people brought by Ji Zinyin.
She paused, tilted her chin slightly to the side, raised the corner of her mouth, and looked cold: "So, is this your sincerity?"
When Ji Ziyin saw her, she couldn't help but pinch her palms, but she tried to act calm and said softly, "At least I did what I could for the Ji family." "What about you?" She didn't give Qiao Nian a chance to speak, and said lightly, "You came here just to mock me?"
Seeing that she was determined to fight to the end, Qiao Nian was too lazy to argue with her. He walked past her and went straight to the elders of the Ji family.
In front of several people, he made a phone call: "Call 20 people over."
Mo Dong was doing something outside when he received a call from Qiao Nian. Without saying a word, he walked towards his sports car on the side of the road: "Miss Qiao, are 20 people enough? I'll bring a few more people with me."
He unlocked the car and opened the door, then he remembered, "Oh, Miss Qiao, what do you want me to do? Fight?"
When he thought of the scene of Qiao Nian fighting with a group of people, he felt a chill all over his body. No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible.
Qiao Nian is not the type of person who would get into a group fight with others.
Mo Dong got in the car: "Did something happen to Miss Qiao?"
The girl's voice on the other end of the phone was nonchalant and she said, "Anyway, I'll send you the address. Bring someone over first."
Mo Dong started the car and stopped asking: "Okay."
…
Qiao Nian sent him the address.
Then he dragged a chair from behind a few elders and sat down carelessly, turning his baseball cap backwards, revealing an overly provocative face.
Facing the questioning gazes she was given.
She said slowly, "Aren't you worried that someone will take advantage of the fact that he is still alive and dead to rob the Ji family?"
"Then kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."
Qiao Nian's eyes were extremely cold. He didn't look at Ji Ziyin, but every word he said was directed at her: "It's a good opportunity to let those people see whether the Ji family can be provoked by anyone! If they want to provoke me, they will have to pay the price!"
