Chapter 569: Chapter 569 Ji Family’s Ambition_1
Morita Taichi’s eyes also narrowed as he said, "If that’s the case, we must report to the Prime Minister immediately."
Soon after, Morita Taichi glanced at Tagawa Banki and said, "Brother Tagawa really has a good strategy, intending to use another’s hand to kill our enemy."
"Hehe..." A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Tagawa Banki’s mouth.
In Huaxia, Capital City.
Within a lavish living room, sat two men, one middle-aged and the other younger, facing each other with a tea set placed in front of them. The young man was skillfully making tea, the faint scent of which wafted through the air.
And this young man was none other than Ji Lingtian, and the middle-aged man across from him was the current Family Head of the Ji Family and helmsman of Century Group, Ji Lingtian’s father, Ji Mo.
"Father, try this!"
Soon, Ji Lingtian handed over a cup of freshly brewed tea to Ji Mo, who took a sip and said, "Hmm, your tea-making skills have improved."
"Thank you for the compliment, Father. I remember you once said that one must not rush when making tea, but be steady and careful. Only then can one brew a good pot of tea, which also helps to cultivate one’s will and mindset," Ji Lingtian said calmly.
"That’s correct. It seems you haven’t forgotten my teachings over the years," Ji Mo said with a smile, then as if recalling something, he added, "I just heard you’ve found me a daughter-in-law."
"Indeed, Father. You weren’t here previously, so I didn’t inform you beforehand," Ji Lingtian replied.
"Qin Yuru, old man Qin’s granddaughter, helmswoman of Qin Group, known as the first lady of the Huaxia business community—it’s quite a match for you," nodded Ji Mo.
"The woman Ji Lingtian sets his eyes on is definitely not lacking," Ji Lingtian said with a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.
"However, for this woman to reach such heights, her temperament must be far from simple. Are you sure you can tame her?"
"Father, do you not have confidence in me?" Ji Lingtian asked lightly, his gaze fixed on Ji Mo.
Ji Mo shook his head and put down his teacup, saying, "I just hope that my son won’t let a beautiful woman affect his thoughts and judgement."
"Don’t worry about that, Father. Qin Yuru is just a tool for me to take over Qin Group and, of course, a woman I wish to conquer," assured Ji Lingtian.
A profound light flashed in Ji Mo’s dark eyes as he said, "Our Ji Family has kept a low profile for so long, never revealing its true capability, all for today."
"The Green Ranking competition is imminent, a new change is coming to Hidden Sects, powers are stirring, all wishing to use this opportunity to grow stronger and enter the secular world."
"It won’t be long before Huaxia undergoes a new shift in its power structure, and our Ji Family must seize this chance to overtake the five major families and become the foremost family in Huaxia."
A sharp glint flashed in Ji Lingtian’s pupils as he said, "Rest assured, Father, I believe the Huaxia of the future will be our Ji Family’s domain. The Ji Family will surely astonish everyone."
At the same time, within the headquarters of the Special Security Bureau, a figure clad in black stealthily infiltrated a highly guarded room—it was He Kun.
Previously, he had been forced to consume poison and needed the key obtained from Chen Baoshan’s family to exchange for the antidote. Left with no choice, he had to find a way to sneak in here, and according to his investigation, that key was kept in this room. He had exhausted all his schemes to break in.
However, no more than ten seconds after He Kun stepped into the room, a piercing alarm suddenly and abruptly blared throughout the entirety of the Special Security Bureau’s headquarters.
He Kun’s complexion immediately changed, and without searching for the key, he hurriedly dashed out.
"Who are you?"
Unfortunately for He Kun, just as he rushed out of the room, he encountered two members of the Special Security Bureau charging toward him. Without time to think, He Kun directly engaged in combat with them.
However, both of the adversaries were at the Innate Middle Stage, and He Kun’s own strength was merely at the same level. Facing two opponents, he struggled to escape, and with the entire base’s personnel hurrying towards his location, urgency gripped He Kun’s heart.
Just then, another figure clad in black appeared and swiftly knocked the two men unconscious, grabbing He Kun and quickly vanishing from the spot.
In a certain room at the Security Bureau’s base, He Kun and his rescuer were hiding there.
"You are..."
He Kun looked at the masked man with some confusion, but when the man removed his mask, his expression changed completely.
"Dad!"
This person was none other than He Kun’s father, He Fang, the leader of the Security Bureau’s Earth Group.
"You still know I’m your dad?" He Fang looked at He Kun with an icy gaze, ripped off the mask on his face, and huffed coldly.
"Dad, I’m sorry, I..." He Kun was at a loss for what to say.
"How come I never realized you were so bold, daring to sneak into the headquarters of the Security Bureau to steal, do you have a death wish?" He Fang scolded him.
"Dad, I had no choice but to do it, or else I’d just be waiting for death," He Kun said through clenched teeth.
He Fang’s brows furrowed as he said, "What exactly happened, explain it clearly."
Immediately, He Kun recounted the entire incident.
He Fang’s brows were tightly knitted, and he said coldly, "There’s actually something like this going on. They want that key, could it be someone from the Maple Leaf Organization?"
"Dad, what should I do now? There’s only one day left. If I don’t give them the key, I will die," He Kun said, looking at He Fang with a face full of worry and anxiety.
"I’ll handle this matter. I want to see what exactly they are up to," He Fang said gravely.
...
The moon set, and the sun rose, heralding the start of a new day.
After a night of cultivation, Ye Luo’s injuries had quickly healed.
"How are you feeling?"
When Ye Luo stepped out of his room, he saw Mingyue standing in front of him, asking softly.
"Little girl, are you concerned about me? Or were you conquered by my heroic performance last night, and have now fallen in love with me?" Ye Luo said teasingly, looking at Mingyue.
Mingyue’s face turned red, and she said, "You guy, you’re always so frivolous, never serious."
"Little girl, to me, it sounds like your tone has changed. Could it be that you’ve actually fallen for me? Or do you want to offer yourself in gratitude for saving your life?"
Ye Luo suddenly moved closer, pressing close to Mingyue, who showed a flash of panic in her eyes and hurriedly turned to walk away.
"It seems you’re already fine," Leng Ruobing came over and looked at Ye Luo.
"I’m pretty much alright now," Ye Luo said, glancing at Leng Ruobing.
"But this time things got quite out of hand. You all need to be careful not to be discovered by them again," Leng Ruobing warned.
Ye Luo nodded and said, "By the way, do you know about the Beichen Ittoryu?"
