1087 Hands that holds her life

Ji Ziyi frowned as she looked at the flickering lights. She knew it. The servants of the family were really shirking off work, she asked them to change the bulbs in her rooms as they continued to flicker but those idiots did not listen to her. 

She picked up her phone and turned the torch on before she slipped off the bed and then headed towards the door where she placed her hand on the knob and pulled it hard. However, no matter how she pulled the door knob it did not budge.

" Th...Third brother is that you? I am telling you this is not funny." Ji Ziyi thought that it was her third brother who caused trouble for her but the door did not open. Even when she threw her weight on the door, it did not open. Her heart could not help but squeeze as Ji Ziyi banged on the surface of the door and shouted, " Housekeeper Zhou? Housekeeper Zhou? Where are you open the door!" 

The only reply that she got was the sound of splashing water in the bathing room. It was as if someone was walking inside the bathing room which caused Ji Ziyi to stiffen as she tried her best to suppress her trembling heart and she shouted again, "Housekeeper Zhou? What are you doing? Open the door." 

No sooner did she finish speaking the door of the bathing room opened with a light click causing Ji Ziyi's heart to jump even more wildly. Just now she knew that she locked the door of the bathing room, so how come it was suddenly opened? Did she not lock it properly?

Ji Ziyi thought in her head and hurriedly tightened her grip on the talisman that Cai Wu sent to her. It was going to be fine there was no need for her to worry, this talisman was going to keep her safe. 

While holding the talisman in a death grip, Ji Ziyi tried to pull the door once again but paused when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her neck. It was as if someone had drilled their nails in her neck. Startled she did not even breathe, she continued to hold the talisman in her hands as she tried to open the door. 

No..no…

Her expression continued to get more and more stiff. While her teeth started to chatter. The light in her room which was flickering went completely out leaving her alone with the torch of her phone which too started to shut on and off. 

She could feel that the pain in her neck was getting more and more worse. The sound of footsteps stopped but instead, she felt something cold and icy standing right behind her. 

Her face was still and filled with terror. She tried to stop her teeth from chattering while subconsciously trying to shake off the grip that was on her neck. 

Ji Ziyi could feel the claws that were on her neck digging more and more into her skin. She dropped her gaze and then looked at her neck only to see two hands sticking out, the two sets of fingers looked even more distinct than before. 

The two hands seemed to have sensed that she was looking at them and thus they immediately withdrew but not without scraping the skin on her neck. 

" AH!" Ji Ziyi screamed in pain but the worst was yet to come. The second the hands settled on her shoulders before dragging down her back. 

The two hands swiped down her back, the nails digging so deep that they took a bite of her skin with them. 

Ji Ziyi was so frightened that she let out a blood-curdling scream. The shrill scream echoed through her room and the entire mansion. 

The next day when Song Yan went to the set to finish her scenes with Ji Ziyi given that Xue Zhi Ming hadn't been convinced by Director Li, she could only agree to shoot the scenes with Director Li. However, when she arrived at the scene, she found out that Ji Ziyi had met with an accident and had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. 

However, Song Yan knew that the matter was not that simple. She was convinced that Ji Ziyi met with that malicious ghost once more but that had nothing to do with her just as she finished thinking she received a call from Ji Ziyi's manager Cai Wu. 

This time, Cai Wu was not only polite but she was even more solicitous than before, if not for the fact that they were standing at two different locations, Song Yan was sure that Cai Wu would have kowtowed in front of her. She sounded reverent as she pleaded, " Madam Fu, can we discuss the matter once more? It was Ziyi who was unaware and offended you. I apologize on her behalf. She already knows her mistake, please if you are free can you meet with us?" 

Song Yan did not agree and she did not say a single word which caused Cai Wu to panic even more. She was afraid that Song Yan would decline and immediately said, " Madam Song, we can discuss this matter. The cost does not matter, as long as you can help Ziyi, we are willing to take out as much sum of money as possible. Her Brothers agree too!" 

Upon hearing this Song Yan was a bit moved as the Ji family could help Fu Yu Sheng in his business. Even though she knew that he was skilled enough, she still wanted to help her husband but when she thought about how disrespectful Ji Ziyi was to her last time, she curled her lips and refused, " Miss Cai, I really cannot help Miss Ji with this matter. Like she said my grassroots master and I are not skilled enough. Forgive me for not being able to help you. I believe that if Miss Ji can find someone else much better than us grassroots master and disciple ." 

After saying that she was about to hang up the phone without another word but how could Cai Wu let that happen? She had already explained everything to Jiang Zhuang Guang and handed him the phone, afraid that the disciple of the Gu sect's master would refuse her again. 

Jiang Zhuang Guang took the phone and then said calmly, " Miss Song, it's me. Jiang Zhuang Guang. If you agree then I will let your husband have the developing land near the commercial area as well as the fields which are close to the factory sight. The total amount of these lands cost more than a billion." 

Ji Ziyi had previously offered only fifty million yuan to solve her problem but now her brother was actually offering her a billion worth of assets. Song Yan was sure that he would be feeling regretful upon losing a chunk of this juicy meat. 

Indeed, Jiang Zhuang Guang was feeling sore upon losing these two pieces of land but what he could do? Ji Ziyi was unconscious and the master she contacted actually asked them to bring a live human whose luck was great. Jiang Zhuang Guang was an unscrupulous business man but he still had his bottom line he would never do something so unscrupulous as ruining someone else's life for his sister.

That was why when he investigated the Heavenly Moon sect and found out that it was actually a dark sect under the facade of a proper one! He naturally would not leave his sister's matters in the hands of such a person thus he refused and then asked Cai Wu to contact someone else. It was then when Cai Wu told him that Song Yan was Gu Chenyi's disciple which was why he was willing to take out such a big hand. 

In fact, if his sister hadn't offended Song Yan, he would have never handed the latter two pieces of such good lands. 

Afraid that Song Yan would refuse he added, " Master Song, Ziyi knows her mistake and so do we. I am willing to sign the contract as long as you are willing to visit us at the hospital. Please don't take Ziyi's words seriously, she is still young and she has been pampered by us causing her to become like this, I will apologize on her behalf and our family's behalf." 

In fact, Song Yan too wanted to see what was going on with Ji Ziyi and why she married Tang Zhou in the past life. 

Of course, she was also curious about what happened to Tang Zhou and Ji Ziyi. As well as the weird pattern of her life and fate, also she wanted to know how Ji Ziyi came to know that dark sect and what was the reason why that dark sect approached her. Was there something that the dark sect wanted that the Ji family had? If so then she wanted to get her hands on that thing before the dark sect could! 

Thus, Song Yan decided to give the Ji family a visit, " Alright, Master Ji. Since you are so genuine how can I refuse ?"
