Chapter 2077
2077 Giving the Ji Family a Chance to Make a Choice
“Young, Young Miss, what do you mean?”
Seeing his reaction, Qiao Nian knew that Ji Hongyuan probably did this secretly. No one in the Ji family knew about it.
The corners of her mouth curled up and she smiled. Her dry eyes met He Lin’s. “My father almost had a car accident in Beijing yesterday. A big truck driver was tired and almost hit him head-on. Fortunately, he was lucky and dodged at the last moment. However, the driver wasn’t so lucky. I heard he died on the spot.”
At first, He Lin did not understand what Qiao Nian meant. However, he immediately understood what was going on when she finished speaking.
He wasn’t stupid.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have stood out from many people and become Ji Lingfeng’s trusted right-hand man. With a thought, he knew who was behind this.
Sixth Elder.
He Lin’s heart beat faster. He opened his mouth, not knowing how to reply.
Qiao Nian did not beat around the bush. “I’ve found out who’s behind this.”
He Lin’s heart tightened. He was shocked. He did not expect Qiao Nian to move so quickly and immediately find out the culprit.
His throat dried and his voice became hoarse. “Who is it?”
At this moment, he still felt a little lucky.
After all, Ji Hongyuan had always been clean. It was unlikely that he would be caught red-handed.
Who knew…
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Nian casually threw out a name. “Ji Hongyuan.”
He Lin stood up so quickly that he almost bumped into the table in front of him. The table outside the open-air cafe was simple, to begin with, so his action almost spilled the hot cocoa in front of the girl…
He Lin couldn’t care less.
He looked at the girl in surprise, his expression changing again and again. He finally forced a smile, as if to cover it up. “No, that’s impossible. Sixth Elder has no reason to do this. Your father is also his relative. He wouldn’t do such a thing.”
“I’ll ask the Ji family about their stance now. Firstly, hand him over. This matter has nothing to do with the Ji family. Secondly, if you don’t hand him over, I’ll assume that the Ji family is also involved in this matter.” Qiao Nian crossed her legs and told him calmly.
However, He Lin couldn’t be as calm as her. His heart had long been in turmoil… He knew very well that Qiao Nian had called him out now not only because of the Ji family’s attitude.
However, this stance not only determined who the Ji family sided with but also who they would choose this time.
Ji Hongyuan or… her.
Once the Ji family expressed their stance and made a choice…
There would be no way back for both sides.
Of course, He Lin knew that Qiao Nian was still willing to call him out this time to give the Ji family a chance.
The choice was right in front of him.
However, He Lin did not dare to say a word.
Recently, he had more or less figured out the girl’s personality and knew that Qiao Nian was not the kind of person who would have an open discussion.
Therefore, after his mind went blank for a moment, he pursed his lips and then said with a solemn expression, “Young Miss, this is too big a matter. It’s not something I can make a decision right away. How about this? Wait for me. I’ll call the Patriarch and get back to you. Is that okay?”
“Sure.” Qiao Nian did not expect He Lin to answer on the Ji family’s behalf. She agreed readily, indicating that he could do as he suggested.
He Lin walked to the side to make a call.
