Chapter 2391: Someone Contacted the Reclusive Family
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
She felt that these bits and pieces of clues were about to connect to a complete truth in front of her eyes!
And she had been waiting for this truth for a long time.
Qiao Nian put the box away, picked up the chicken soup on the bedside table, and slowly lowered her head to drink it. Her snow-white chin was reflected by the sunlight coming in from outside, and her cold beauty could not be looked at directly.
At the same time, in the Ji family’s Punishment Hall.
Ji Ming returned from outside and bumped into Ji Beiwang waiting for him. He stopped and respectfully called out, “Hall Master.”
Ji Beiwang nodded and asked him, “Have you found out who was hospitalized?”
“No.” Ji Ming shook his head. “Bright Gate has taken control of the hospital. Our people can’t find out about the situation inside.”
Ji Beiwang’s lips twitched, and his eyes turned cold. “Huh.”
Ji Ming did not dare to look at him and stared at his toes. “But I’m sure that it’s not Feng Yu.”
Of course, it wasn’t Feng Yu from the First Research Institute!
Ji Beiwang waved his hand, indicating for him to go back. “Go back and rest.”
“Yes.”
Without another word, Ji Ming turned around and walked into the hall.
Ji Beiwang waited for him to walk away. He half-retracted the coldness in his eyes and returned to the ancestral hall, quietly looking at the wooden tablet of the Ji family’s previous patriarchs.
Seeming to have made up his mind, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice, “I definitely won’t let the Ji family decline in this generation!” He made a mysterious call the moment he left the ancestral hall.
The call was picked up quickly.
Ji Beiwang’s face was tense as if he respected the other party very much. He softly said, “… I’ve found Eldest Miss’s daughter. Her name is Qiao Nian. She’s been living in Country Z previously, so we haven’t heard from her for so many years. A few days ago, she barged into the Ji family’s Punishment Hall and took something away. As for what it was… The Patriarch didn’t allow me to arrest her. I don’t know what she took.”
Ji Beiwang did not know who was hospitalized, but from the abnormal movements in the independent continent during this period of time, Feng Yu’s actions, and Bright Gate’s reaction, he could basically deduce the identity of the person who barged into the Ji family that day.
Qiao Nian was originally the last hope of the Ji family’s direct line of descent. Logically speaking, he shouldn’t have said anything, but this concerned the family’s future. His choice was different from Ji Lingfeng’s. He wanted to know what Qiao Nian had taken away.
In addition, Ji Beiwang was not satisfied with Qiao Nian’s behavior this time. She ignored the Ji family’s reputation and barged into the Punishment Hall.
In his opinion, the family’s interests were above everything else.
Including Ji Lingfeng!
He respected Ji Lingfeng very much, but if Ji Lingfeng’s actions harmed the family’s interests, he would not stand by and do nothing.
At the very least, they wouldn’t just watch without doing anything!
“From her actions, that thing should be very important.” Ji Beiwang pondered and voiced his guess. “Perhaps it has something to do with Missy.”
No one spoke on the other end. Only after a while did a cold voice sound. “I understand.”
“Do you plan to investigate?” Ji Beiwang still wanted to ask how the other party planned to investigate.
However, the other party had already hung up.
Ji Beiwang was stunned. He did not expect the other party’s attitude to be so cold.
He hesitated for a moment. In the end, he put away his cell phone and returned with a frown.
This was the first time he had contacted the reclusive family.
Before Ji Lingfeng’s clear attitude towards Qiao Nian’s attitude this time, Ji Beiwang had never contacted them before..
