Ji Wangyun was unaware that Xie Zhuzhou was subtly diverting Chu Yanzhang's anger.
He was driving to the coffee shop where Li Yankai worked. Through the glass window, he saw a little girl slip a small note into Li Yankai. With his sharp eyes, he could even spot a string of numbers on the back of Li Yankai's hand.
Xiao Kai never told him these things.
Only after witnessing firsthand how popular Li Yankai was did Ji Wangyun feel a flicker of panic in her heart.
Practice makes perfect, and he completely forgot about his single status statement from a month ago.
Just then, Ji Wangchen called again. Ji Wangyun didn't dare ignore it this time, so he resignedly answered, "Brother, what's wrong? Is there something that can't be said tomorrow?"
"Let's get down to business, listen up."
"Okay, please go ahead."
"Regarding Jin Renwei, Dad said you can handle him." Ji Wangchen's voice was icy and ruthless.
Although it was just a question, Ji Wangyun couldn't help but take a free hand to turn on the car's heater.
"You've found evidence? How did you do that?" Ji Wangyun was somewhat surprised, after all, this kind of thing is really hard to find. The Jin Family's premeditated actions were all planned by counter-surveillance personnel, so it was very difficult to find any clues.
"Yes, it was Chu Yanzhang's men who helped."
Ji Wangyun was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, recalling that he had given his younger brother a bad idea just a few days ago.
He swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Brother, what should I do if I offend my sister-in-law...?"
"I don't know, I guess I'll just have to wait to die."
Ji Wangchen hung up the phone, too lazy to communicate with his useless younger brother. He figured that since Ji Wangyun was an idiot, he might as well hand the matter over to the police.
The people Chu Yanzhang sent to help this time also discovered that Jin Renwei had several murder cases on his hands, and the death penalty was inevitable, sooner or later.
As for the second uncle, his family finally went abroad. Although the second uncle had been tortured beyond recognition by Gao Jilan, it was none of their business. He only needed to keep the Ji Family in a state of calm on the surface and prevent any negative news from breaking out.
Aurora Future is also developing steadily.
Ji Wangchen sat slumped in his office chair, tilting his head back to stretch his neck. He thought to himself, " The Jin Family's affair is finally over. The Ji Family can finally return to peace, right? And I can finally relax for a while, can I?"
However, Ji Wangchen in wishful thinking.
That evening, when he got home from work for dinner, he received a message from Ji Wuqiu saying that he was going to retire early. Ji Wangchen was shocked.
Xie Zhuzhou was the first to stand up and object, "Father! You're still so young! How can you think about comfort? Look at the empire you've built, how can you give it up so easily?!"
Although my brother is very capable, it's dangerous for him to be alone at headquarters! He's surrounded by wolves and tigers, and they all wish he would make a mistake!
Seeing his youngest son's anxious expression, Ji Wuqiu laughed in exasperation, "That's the empire your grandfather built. Let him fight for it. He's only seventy."
Xie Zhuzhou was taken aback by his father's words and could only slowly sit up straight. He frowned slightly and said seriously, "That won't do. Grandpa is already in his seventies or eighties. What if his eyesight deteriorates and he causes the company to go bankrupt?"
With so many enemies, the Ji Family is sure to die a gruesome death.
He discovered that not only him, but his other brothers also had many enemies!
He's actually been quite restrained!
Although he knows a little martial arts, times have changed! There will always be times when you can't defend against everything!
Ji Wuqiu: "In short, my mind is made up."
For the first time, Ji Wangchen's expressionless face showed a look of speechlessness and helplessness.
Xie Zhuzhou was worried that his eldest brother might also quit, so he didn't say anything more. Right now, the most vulnerable person in the family must be his eldest brother, right?
Xie Zhuzhou felt sorry for his older brother for two seconds.
Ji Wangyun and Ji Wangyan didn't dare to utter a sound. They didn't have the courage of their younger brother; they had been beaten up by their older brother when they were kids! Just thinking about it now still terrified them!
The three little ones were terrified that their eldest brother would explode; they looked like trembling hamsters cowering in a corner.
Ji Wuqiu looked at the different expressions on his sons' faces and chuckled to himself.
So he deliberately put on a stern face and continued, "Don't worry too much. I will leave all company matters to Wangchen Chen, but don't think you can completely stay out of it. Everyone has to take on their corresponding responsibilities, especially you, Wangyun."
When Ji Wangyun heard his father call his name, his heart skipped a beat. He looked up and met his father's scrutinizing gaze, quickly flashing a fawning smile, "Father, don't worry, I will definitely assist my elder brother well."
My father, who has always been so diligent and hardworking, suddenly wants to quit? Why?
He didn't understand at all!
And he's busy! He works during the day and picks Xiao Kai up from work in the evening! Father's early retirement means that a lot of things will be shared with them!
No wonder! No wonder Dad had so many kids; he was worried he wouldn't be able to manage just one!
Ji Wuqiu had no idea what Ji Wangyun was imagining. He snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied with Ji Wangyun's distracted attitude. "Don't try to fool me. You've been getting very close to that Li Family boy lately. Don't think I don't know. I'm warning you, don't bring your personal feelings into your work, or you'll be in big trouble."
Ji Wangyun inwardly groaned, but under his younger brother's meaningful gaze, he forced a bitter smile and said, "Father's words are right, I will definitely pay attention."
Xie Zhuzhou listened from the side, secretly chuckling to himself.
He never expected his second brother to end up like this; what goes around comes around. He was about to make a sarcastic remark when he noticed Ji Wuqiu's gaze turn to him.
"And you, Zhouzhou. I heard from your second brother that you don't have a proper attitude towards your studies. You sleep in class, you sleep after class, and the rest of the time you go to the gym at home instead of studying. I seriously doubt whether you can graduate smoothly."
Xie Zhuzhou's heart tightened, and he quickly retorted, "Father, don't listen to my second brother's nonsense. I'm just balancing work and rest. Besides, exercising is for better learning. How can a strong soul be supported without a strong body? Look at my second brother, his head isn't even fully recovered yet, and all he does is tattle."
Ji Wangyun: "..."Little brother, you know, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. How can you talk back ten times when your father says one thing!
Ji Wuqiu clearly didn't believe his explanation. "Stop making excuses for me. Final exams are coming up soon. If you dare fail, I'll get your older brother to give you a small company to manage. When your older brother was your age, he was already at headquarters learning how to manage a company."
Xie Zhuzhou thought to himself that he had gone too, just for a short time. He had thought his father would just leave him like this forever; it was such a hassle.
Stubborn Zhou didn't argue back and continued eating his meal with his head down.
Ji Wuqiu's sharp eyes swept over everyone before settling on Ji Wangyan.
