Qiao Nian understood what he meant—He Lin was the only person Ji Lingfeng could use now. He could use others, but he was not sure about using them.
Mo Dong and Qin Si were looking at her in the villa.
Bo Jingxing went to take care of Jiu's affairs in the Independent Continent and is not here for the time being.
Ye Wangchuan's bangs covered his eyes, giving him a unique temperament. He handed her a bottle of water: "... Still don't care?"
Qiao Nian looked at the water that was brought to her, her temples swelled badly. She wanted to say no, but her throat seemed to be stuck. Every time she was about to speak, she thought of what Ji Nan had said to her.
— “My dad gave me the only lifeboat.”
—"Before he sent me away, he only asked me to protect you and not repeat his tragedy."
—"He knew that the trip to Continent M was dangerous. Uncle He and I both advised him not to go. I don't know why he insisted on going to Continent M."
Qiao Nian raised his hand to lower the brim of his hat, his throat rolling: "Just this once!"
**
The Ji family's old house has not been peaceful these two days.
Ever since Ji Lingfeng's last plan failed, the elders and several hall masters knew what he wanted to do.
Although they all tacitly agreed not to mention what happened that day afterwards, these people had become cautious and refused to remove their weapons before going in again.
Of course, Ji Lingfeng's influence is still there.
They did not dare to bring weapons to see Ji Lingfeng. The result of both sides taking a step back was that the elders and hall masters had to hand over their weapons to the accompanying personnel before meeting Ji Lingfeng.
But they can bring two or three people to the old house.
In the afternoon.
He Lin hurried in the drizzle to find Ji Lingfeng.
As he walked outside Ji Lingfeng's study, he was stopped by the Second Elder's men.
"He Zhu, the elder is discussing important matters with the clan leader, so you'd better not go in and disturb them."
He Lin frowned, his face sullen, and waved away the person blocking his way: "I have important matters to report to the clan leader." The person who stopped him from entering had a flash of eyes, and actually dodged and stopped him again.
“He Zhu, the clan leaders are discussing Miss Qiao’s matter. It’s not appropriate for us to barge in. I hope you can cooperate!”
Miss Qiao's matter
He Lin paused and tilted his head to look at him: "How long will it take inside?"
The man looked at his eyes and nose: "It will be soon."
He Lin had no choice but to wait outside for a while.
He waited for nearly an hour, but there was no sign of the situation ending.
He couldn't wait any longer and was about to go in.
That person took the lead and said, "The clan leader and his men will be finished in half an hour at most. If He Zhu is in a hurry, he can go to the courtyard first. He will be able to see the clan leader in half an hour."
Compared with the one hour he had waited before, half an hour was indeed not a long time, and He Lin's desire to force his way in was suppressed again.
He frowned, feeling that something was wrong.
But the other party seemed to be doing his duty to prevent him from entering and disturbing the important conversation. He could only look at the other party, fearing the extent of their recent embarrassment with the elders and the hall master, and pursed his lips and said, "I'll go for a walk nearby."
…
He didn't walk far, but just walked around Ji Lingfeng's study.
He Lin could hear Ji Lingfeng's intermittent voice coming from inside from outside, but because of the sound insulation, he couldn't hear it clearly.
At least we can judge that Ji Lingfeng is absolutely safe in there.
He Lin felt relieved.
