at the same time.
Qiao Nian has been busy these two days and has been specifically looking into the specific situation of the Ji family.
Mo Dong handed her a stack of information. Qiao Nian took the time to read it before she realized that the current situation of the Ji family was worse than she had imagined.
Without Ji Lingfeng in the past six months, the Ji family has been leaderless.
Several elders who hold real power and powerful leaders of large halls have been fighting among themselves in private, all striving for more say.
During this time, they ostensibly regarded Xie Yun and Ji Nan as their masters, but in private they had already been doing their own things, acting like kings.
Within half a year, the Ji family showed signs of collapse, and the internal situation was in chaos!
Snapped!
Qiao Nian threw the documents Mo Dong gave her on the table, raised the corner of her mouth, licked her lower lip, and said coldly, "This is the family they risked their lives to protect? Look at these people, who takes them seriously! The person is not dead yet, and everyone is lining up to divide the inheritance."
Ye Wangchuan walked over and pressed her shoulder: "Don't be angry at people who are not worth it."
"I just feel... it's not worth it." Qiao Nian's anger paused for a moment and he rubbed his eyebrows.
She reached out her hand sickly to touch the lighter in her pocket, and when her fingertips touched the hard shell of the lighter, she remembered something and took out a candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it into her mouth.
The sweet taste of the fruit candy dissipated the astringency in the mouth, slightly suppressing the frantic heartbeat and the violent emotions in the chest.
Qin Si noticed her little action and said in surprise: "Sister Qiao, when did you start liking candy? What brand of candy?"
"I just bought it casually." Qiao Nian obviously had no intention of sharing it with him, and answered perfunctorily.
Mo Dong interrupted at this time.
"Miss Qiao, although I shouldn't mention it, I still feel like I should tell you."
Qiao Nian rolled the tip of his tongue over the fruit candy, pressed against the candy, not feeling very happy, and sat there leaning back: "You say."
"Um."
Mo Dong didn't waste any time and got straight to business.
"In addition to what I have found out, I received another piece of news before coming in. I don't know how the three southern branches of the Ji family and the Tongji Society have colluded with each other and want to move a batch of goods that the Ji family had brought from F Continent."
"goods?"
"Um."
Mo Dong continued, "That batch of goods was a cooperation between the Ji family and the mine in F Continent half a year ago, before the Ji Emperor had an accident. According to the previously agreed time, today is the handover time. That batch of goods contains the most core technology of the Ji family, and it is also the black gunpowder technology that only the direct descendants of the Ji family can learn..."
As he spoke, he observed Qiao Nian's reaction.
"The idea of the Three Halls and the Freemasons should be to challenge the authority of Emperor Ji by intercepting this batch of goods. In addition, they can also use the intercepted finished products to let people study the core technology of the Ji family that is not passed on to others..."
The girl's eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous. She looked straight at him and said, "Where's Ji Lingfeng? What's your reaction?"
Mo Dong is worthy of being the intelligence expert of Yaomen. He immediately said, "Emperor Ji was tripped by the people of the Elder Hall and has not noticed any unusual movements at the dock for the time being."
“…” Qiao Nian pursed his lips into a straight line, a storm brewing in his eyes, flickering flames suddenly rising, but he didn’t seem to want to care, so he raised his hand and pulled down his baseball cap.
Mo Dong touched the bridge of his nose and said something on behalf of Ji Lingfeng: "Honestly speaking, he has had a hard time since the news of Emperor Ji's serious illness spread. Apart from the loyal forces he had before, many neutral forces are planning for the future and don't really listen to him."
