2082 Sister Nian Targeted the Elder of the Ji family!
The girl's voice was faint and emotionless from the phone.
Guan Yan was stunned for a second, then she dug her ears. "What?"
Did she hear wrongly?
Boss wanted to attack the Ji family, and it was one of their eight elders, Ji Hongyuan. She was so fierce…
Qiao Nian could not see Guan Yan's reaction, but she could guess how shocked she was. However, she did not explain much.
She still said calmly, "I want Ji Hongyuan's hand, no matter the price."
No matter the price!
Guan Yan was slightly shocked. She came back to her senses and said seriously, "I'll do it immediately."
"Okay," Qiao Nian replied. Unable to hide her arrogance, she said to Guan Yan in a low voice, "I'm hanging up."
Guan Yan quickly said before she could hang up, "Boss, I'll send you a message after I'm done."
Qiao Nian responded in a low voice again. Then, she hung up and put her phone back in her pocket as she pulled the strap of her black shoulder bag.
After the red streetlights turned green, Qiao Nian walked across the road.
Her back view was cold and extremely arrogant!

On the other side, in the corridor outside the Level 5 laboratory of the First Research Institute.
"What?" Ji Ziyin received a call and was unable to hide the shock in her almond-shaped eyes as she listened. She was a little flustered and couldn't care less that someone in the corridor had noticed her. She held her phone and walked around the corner with an ugly expression, her tone fast and anxious. "Uncle Xiao, what's going on? Why was the Sixth Elder suddenly removed from his position as the hall master of the Punishment Hall?"
Ji Hongyuan was the greatest backer she had found in the Ji family so far. He was also the only person among the few old farts in the family who supported her.
Ji Hongyuan's downfall meant that her most powerful backer in the family was gone.
It would be strange if Ji Ziyin was happy. She could barely hide her expression. As she walked to a relatively quiet place, she was so angry that she could hardly breathe.
Ji Xiao was not a core member of the Ji family.
There were few things he could find out.
He only knew that he was unlucky and did not know the inside story.
Ji Ziyin listened for a long time but still did not understand. She asked impetuously, "So until now, we only know that the Sixth Elder offended the Patriarch? The Patriarch ordered him to take a break. You don't know anything else."
"That's all I know." Ji Xiao was also overwrought as he tried to find out more about this matter.
However, Ji Lingfeng covered this matter very well.
For the time being, he could not figure out the inside story.
However, Ji Xiao had his own considerations. "Do you think it has something to do with Qiao Nian?"
Qiao Nian again?!
Ji Ziyin was distraught and only said vaguely, "Impossible. This matter should have nothing to do with her. She didn't come back to the family and doesn't have the ability to make Ji Hongyuan, one of the eight elders, fall. There should be another reason, we just don't know for the time being."
Her cell phone lit up.
Ji Ziyin noticed that someone was calling her. Looking at the caller ID, her entire body trembled and she immediately said, "Something's on. I'll talk to you later."
Ji Xiao had yet to ask her what was wrong, but Ji Ziyin had already hung up and hurriedly picked up the incoming call. Her attitude was much more respectful now. "Sixth Elder."
"Where are you?"
The other party's voice was old and hoarse, and he could not hide his dispiritedness. Clearly, this matter had dealt him a huge blow.
Ji Ziyin turned to look in the direction of the laboratory and immediately said, "I'm at the research institute."
