1795 Are You Sure You Didn’t Provoke Anyone?
“Ziyin, are you sure you didn’t provoke anyone?”
Ji Xiao still did not believe Ji Ziyin had not provoked anyone. “There were no signs before Bright Gate attacked this time. Moreover, they targeted our territory. Every step they took was precise. It’s as if they were coming for us!”
There were many forces in the Ji family.
Ji Ziyin was only one of them.
The reason why Ji Xiao was so angry this time was that the Bright Gate seemed to be targeting the Ji Family, but the rest of the family was fine.
Only they suffered heavy losses.
“Think carefully about whether you’ve offended anyone. If you have, let’s have a good talk with them. It’s better to resolve enmity than to keep it alive. Moreover, Bright Gate’s style of doing things is too ruthless. It’s best if we don’t provoke them.” Ji Xiao’s tone softened.
At this moment, Ji Ziyin’s mind was about to explode. Her mind was filled with messy thoughts as she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and vaguely felt that she had grabbed onto something, but it flashed past her fingers and slipped away…
“Second Uncle, I’m sure I don’t know anyone from Bright Gate, let alone offend them. However, I really offended someone.”
The Jiang family.
Qiao Nian.
Ji Ziyin pursed her lips and her eyes flickered. She wanted to tell him about the situation in the capital when suddenly, her phone lit up again, and Ji Lingfeng’s number was shown.
Ji Ziyin looked at it. Her expression immediately turned solemn.
She didn’t dare to delay and picked up the call almost instantly. “Patriarch.”
She always felt a sense of superiority in front of outsiders. Even though she hid it well, the confidence in her bones still made her look superior.
However, when Ji Ziyin received this call, she was not impudent at all.
Even though she knew that the other party was only calling her and could not see her, she did not dare to relax at all. Her expression was solemn and respectful.
“Patriarch, why are you looking for me?” Ji Ziyin asked carefully.
A full three seconds passed.
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to have just finished his work. His voice was magnetic and low as he asked in a low and hoarse voice, “Have you heard about the matter with Bright Gate?”
Ji Ziyin did not dare to hide anything from him. “I heard about it. Second Uncle just told me.”
“Yeah.”
Ji Lingfeng responded with an “Mm”. No emotion could be detected in his voice.
Ji Ziyin’s scalp went numb. She opened her mouth, but Ji Lingfeng spoke again before she could say anything. “What do you think?”
Ji Ziyin’s heart raced as she gripped her phone tightly. Biting her lip, she replied in a low voice, “I… I don’t know what’s going on yet.”
She paused for a second and immediately continued, “But I’ll investigate and figure out what’s going on.”
Ji Lingfeng remained silent for a full minute.
The blood drained from Ji Ziyin’s face. Just as she was about to lose her cool, the man’s casual tone finally came from the other end. “Since you’ve thought it through, come back.”
With that, Ji Ziyin could only hear the busy tone now.
Ji Lingfeng had already hung up.
She stood rooted to the ground for a long time, racking her brains for the meaning of his last sentence, but she couldn’t figure it out no matter what.
Ji Ziyin walked back to the sofa and called the Ji family’s people in the capital to arrange for a private plane to fly back tonight.
