1848 Settling the Score
The Ji family's living room was usually reserved for important people and they did not come here to greet guests.
Ji Ziyin realized that something was wrong today as soon as she entered.
In the huge living room, other than Ji Lingfeng, several important elders were also present. Everyone's expressions were ugly.
They all looked in her direction when she entered.
Ji Ziyin felt dizzy and couldn't help but clench her fists. She braced herself and entered, greeting respectfully, "Hello, patriarch and elders."
She was not a direct descendant of the Ji family.
Hence, she could not address Ji Lingfeng like Ji Nan and could only respectfully address him as Patriarch.
In the past, Ji Lingfeng had always been gentler to her than to ordinary people, but today, Ji Ziyin clearly felt that his attitude towards her was very cold.
The middle-aged man only gave a faint "hmm". He didn't even ask her about her progress in her study of black gunpowder.
The uneasiness in Ji Ziyin's heart intensified. She clenched her fists tightly and realized that a man was lying on the ground.
The man had a lean figure and a long face. He was tied up and looked disheveled. Seeing her, he struggled on the ground excitedly…
"Wuwuwu!"
Ji Ziyin did not recognize the person in front of her at first.
After all, many people in the Independent Continent wanted to curry favor with her.
She couldn't remember everyone.
Moreover, the faces of some unimportant people.
Hence, when she glanced at the man on the ground, a trace of confusion flashed across her bright eyes.
Soon, Ji Lingfeng asked, "Do you know him?"
Ji Ziyin snapped back to her senses and immediately shook her head in denial. "I don't know him. I've never seen him before."
The man on the ground twisted even more violently. As if he was going all out, he struggled to move towards her. Immediately, two men in black stepped on his face and pressed him to the ground, making him unable to move.
Ji Ziyin had yet to retract her gaze when she saw the man's intense reaction.
Ji Lingfeng's completely unreadable voice rang out. "Is that so? He's a killer from the Wolf's Head Association. Your Uncle Nan said that you know him."
Wolf's Head Association.
Killer.
Ji Ziyin raised her head abruptly, unable to hide the shock in her eyes as her face turned pale.
Her reaction betrayed her.
However, she did not notice it herself. She immediately lowered her head and pretended to be nonchalant. "I… I've never heard of them."
A gentle but dignified male voice sounded beside her as soon as she finished speaking. "Hehe, Miss Ji doesn't know him, but he told me that Miss Ji instructed him to kill the Miracle Doctor I found. What a coincidence!"
At this moment, Ji Ziyin completely understood the current situation.
The people she had sent to intercept the doctor Ji Nan found had been arrested. They had come to settle scores with her!
At this point, as long as there was nothing wrong with her brain, she would never admit it.
Therefore, even though she was a little uneasy at this moment, she still stubbornly denied it. "I don't know him. I don't know why he said that."
Nan Tianyi sneered. His wise eyes had long seen through Ji Ziyin, who was standing in the middle of the living room and lying.
He couldn't be bothered to argue with a junior like her. It was degrading!
Nan Tianyi stood up and swept his gaze across the Ji family members in the living room. Then, he said in a clear voice, "Patriarch Ji, I brought people here to tell you something."
He was about the same age as Ji Lingfeng, around 40 years old. However, he did not look as proud and extravagant as Ji Lingfeng. Instead, he was more gentle.
