The Second Elder and his companions were originally ready to compromise, but then they heard a noise outside, and then they learned that someone was sent to the hospital.
A few old foxes changed their attitude.
When He Lin finished dealing with the silencing issue and went to find them again, the Second Elder and the others no longer looked ashen, and said in a tough attitude that there was a misunderstanding and they would not deal with those people from the Third Hall for the time being. They demanded to see Ji Lingfeng and explain to him in person.
But Ji Lingfeng was still in the hospital's operating room for emergency treatment.
Of course He Lin had no way of asking them to explain to Ji Lingfeng face to face.
This brought the situation to a stalemate.
The Second Elder and his companions were not in a hurry. They sat on the rosewood chairs in the Juyi Hall, drinking tea and urging He Lin to inform Ji Lingfeng as soon as possible.
He Lin knew clearly that these people were deliberately making things difficult for him and that they might have already discovered that the clan leader was unwell and had gone to the hospital, but he could do nothing about them.
After a brief stalemate.
He Lin was just about to bring out the clan rules to force the elders to face up to the betrayal of the three halls in collusion with outsiders.
Just at this time.
Someone trotted in from outside and whispered in his ear that Qiao Nian and Ji Nan were coming.
"What?" He Lin was surprised and happy. He looked at the second elder and the others and suddenly felt more confident: "I'll go to the door right away."
As he said this, he actually left everyone in the room and ran out.
The second elder vaguely felt that things might be developing in a direction that he was unwilling to face.
Someone has already said: "Who is here? It can't be the clan leader? The clan leader is back from the hospital?"
"Not the clan leader."
The second elder hasn't figured it out yet, but he knows in his heart that everything Ji Lingfeng did shows that he is seriously ill, so it is unlikely to be Ji Lingfeng.
"That is?"
Everybody was looking at him.
The Second Elder calmed himself down, frowned, and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's Young Master Nan." "Oh."
Several elders calmed down, and the contempt in their eyes and eyebrows showed that these old foxes did not take Ji Nan seriously at all.
It is true that Ji Nan has not officially followed Ji Lingfeng to interfere in family affairs over the years. It is obviously a pipe dream for him to temporarily take over the Ji family and suppress them.
Even if Xie Yun came along, they might not take her seriously.
The only person they were wary of from beginning to end was Ji Lingfeng.
It is also the direct line of the Ji family.
However, just when a few people thought that it was Ji Nan who came, there were messy footsteps outside, and it sounded like there was more than one person.
The Second Elder and others held their breath and waited for Ji Nan to appear.
Among the people who came into view was Ji Nan, and He Lin, who had just left them and ran away, was indeed following Ji Nan.
But these are not the point.
Who can tell them why—Qiao Nian is here? !
The Second Elder's body instinctively drove him to stand up from his seat. Before Qiao Nian could say anything, he already felt much less imposing.
"you… "
The girl brushed past him and walked straight to the place where Ji Lingfeng often sat and sat down. Her nonchalant temperament remained unchanged, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife falling on him.
"I heard that the Second Elder wants to guarantee those people from the Third Hall?"
The second elder's facial muscles tensed up, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to refute: "We don't have enough evidence to prove that those people betrayed the family..."
Qiao Nian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He threw the lighter in his hand on the table with a thud and looked up at him: "What are you going to use as a guarantee? Just your mouth?"
The second elder was speechless because of her aggressive momentum, so he had to bite the bullet and asked, "How do you want me to guarantee it?"
