Chapter 80 Her dog was adopted from Shen Xiling

Before Ji Ziqian died, he was disguised as Ji Zhihe and lay on his side. Shen Xichen's people did not expect that someone would switch the body first, especially since the Ji Zhihe they found looked like a member of the Ji family, so they did not discover that the person had been switched.

The news could have been fabricated to show that Ji Zhihe died in a car accident, and even if it was Ji Ziqian who died, it could have been kept secret from the outside world that it was Ji Zhihe. But now someone has taken the lead and told Ji Ting the truth before Shen Xichen.

Therefore, the person who switched the body and the person who leaked the news of Ji Ziqian's death were the same person, just to see him and Ji Ting fall out.

Shen Xichen's face darkened. "It's either Zhong Yan or Ji Tanyuan. Go and investigate."

Xiaoqi knelt down and then said, "What about the police and the hospital?"

Shen Xichen went upstairs, expressionless: "What does this have to do with us?"

"Ji Ting won't tell. He has so many sons; it's not like they're all dead if one dies."

"Tell the police."

Xiao Qi lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Ji Tanyuan sat on the bed. Was Ji Ziqian dead?

She only had Ji Zhihe taken away; who took Ji Ziqian there?

She took a deep breath; it was truly one problem after another.

Before Ji Tanyuan could react, she received a call from her father.

"Did you clean up the tail? Since you've started, you should..."

Ji Tanyuan exclaimed in shock: "Dad, it wasn't me."

"What?" Ji Qing asked in confusion.

“You think it was me? It wasn’t me. I never intended to kill him. You said you wanted Ji Zhihe to live to investigate the truth of what happened back then, so I moved him to prevent someone from killing him and framing me.”

"Besides, I didn't knock Ji Ziqian out."

After a moment of silence, Ji Qing said, "I understand."

Ji Tanyuan didn't notice the strangeness in Ji Qing's tone. "The paternity test results are in. He's not your child, nor is he your mother's. He's not even the same person from back then. He's just a pawn, useful only now. It's just that the plan didn't succeed."

"My uncle's original plan was to provoke my mother into killing him, but the car accident didn't work. Now he's tried a second time, but it still didn't work."

He even sacrificed his eldest son.

Ji Tanyuan wanted to smile, but then she remembered that she was still on the phone with her father and, to prevent herself from laughing out loud, she rubbed the corners of her mouth and suppressed her smile. "Dad, don't be sad."

Her voice was full of concern: "Take care of yourself. I'll have a lawyer follow up on everything. I've also taken Mom with me; she'll be disturbed there."

Upon hearing that Sheng Wan had been taken away, Ji Qing reacted even more strongly, "You took her away?"

Ji Tanyuan nodded, "She doesn't like the Ji family, and things have been so chaotic lately. What if someone tries to provoke her again? My aunt and I can protect her. You should focus on dealing with the Ji family's affairs."

The eldest grandson is gone; this is a major event.

Ji Qing seemed very angry. "Ji Tanyuan! Do I need to ask your opinion before I can see your mother in the future?"

Ji Tanyuan: "No, that's not it. I can't really get involved in your affairs, but it's just a special situation right now."

Ji Qing hung up the phone in a fit of anger.

Ji Tanyuan looked at the phone that had just been hung up and casually tossed it onto the bed.

Actually, the eldest uncle originally planned to kill Ji Zhihe in the hospital and frame his mother or her. Once the person died, he would accuse his mother of murdering someone for the sake of the successor.

However, after she transferred the person away, someone else put Ji Ziqian in the position. If Ji Ting doesn't intend to kill, then his son won't die. But if he does, then his son will be the one who dies.

Shen Xichen must have been involved in this. Even an uncle couldn't have acted so quickly. In Shanghai, only the eldest son of the Shen family, who has connections everywhere, has this ability.

So who brought Ji Ziqian there?

Ji Tanyuan paced around the bedroom twice, already having someone in mind.

At the same time, the phone on the bed vibrated.

Ji Tanyuan approached and looked at the note: Zhong Yan.

She answered the call, but neither of them spoke.

Only the sound of each other's breathing remained.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Zhong Yan's pleasant voice reached Ji Tanyuan's ears through the phone.

"Is the call to confirm the battle results?" Ji Tanyuan asked.

Zhong Yan feigned ignorance, "What are you talking about? I've been staying in Yanjing obediently."

"Ji Ziqian is dead."

Zhong Yan: "Please accept my condolences."

"My flight is this afternoon, I'll head over there."

Zhong Yan hung up the phone, downed his drink in one gulp, and looked out the study window.

The phone rang again. He glanced at the contact name and answered.

"Hello, Dad."

He called out "Dad" much faster than he called Zhong Fangqi.

Ji Qing's tone wasn't very good, perhaps because his daughter wouldn't let him see his wife, or perhaps because of what he was about to say.

"You didn't tell Huanghuang about Ji Ziqian's matter?" Ji Qing asked in a deep voice.

“I thought it would be enough to tell you. But it’s not easy for her to make a decision about the eldest son of the family, is it? After all, he is your beloved nephew. It’s not good to put her in a difficult position.”

Ji Qing: "But you two are husband and wife, so you should tell her in advance. Since she wants to gain experience, she has to face all the choices."

Whether it's veteran officials or this bloody battle.

"I thought you didn't want her to..."

"You think you're wrong, but she has to face it herself."

Zhong Yan lowered her eyes, so Ji Qing remained neutral in everything, but he became ruthless when it came to matters that threatened his wife's personal safety.

He rubbed his temples, somewhat unable to fathom Ji Qing's thoughts.

I turned around and went out; it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Tomorrow is the second day of the New Year holiday, and the market will open soon. It is foreseeable that the two major A-shares, Furong and Qinghe, will definitely hit the daily limit down.

In fact, this was his best opportunity to acquire a portion of Fu Rong Real Estate's shares.

But it's uncertain where Fu Rong Real Estate will go from here; they're not going to be the ones to take over.

He felt upset when the topic of "taking over someone else's money" came up, because it reminded him of his dog.

He wasn't the dog's first male owner, which is so annoying.

Zhong Yan came out of the study with a grim expression. Chu He, who was waiting in the living room, stood up when he saw his boss's unpleasant and cold demeanor.

Did we fail?

He said that the third brother's hairstyle was no good, it gave him away.

Chu He's expression was serious. "I'm sorry."

Zhong Yan glanced at him and said, "What are you apologizing for? There are other people you should apologize for. Don't apologize for just hugging the dog."

Chu He was dumbfounded. What was this all about?

Zhong Yan waved his hand:

"You should rest for two days, and let Xiao Si come with me."

Chu He nodded, then turned and left. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Assistant Liang, who had just stepped out of the elevator, and a restaurant waiter pushing a food cart behind him.

He was delivering breakfast and happened to be going to Hujiang along the way.

When Butler Liang saw Chu He, he didn't ask any questions, but just greeted him with a smile: "Are you leaving?"

Chu He glanced inside. With years of tacit understanding, Assistant Liang knew he was telling the person inside that they were in a bad mood and shouldn't be grinning.

"Liang Zhufu! What are you dawdling about outside the door for? Are you planning to put up a blessing on the door to welcome guests?"

Liang Zhufu thought to himself, "I already know even if you don't say it."

Assistant Liang entered with a serious expression, displaying the utmost professionalism, striving not to offend this formidable figure.

Zhong Yan was sitting on the sofa drinking water when she saw the delivery person pushing a cart into the room to set out breakfast.

"When you checked Ji Tanyuan's resume, you found out that her dog was adopted from Shen Xiling. Did you know that but didn't tell me?"

Liang Zhufu almost knelt down, struggling to weigh the options between admitting and denying.

Zhong Yan sneered: "You found out, but you didn't tell me, right?"

Liang Zhufu looked distressed: "If you knew, would you be able to stop your wife from bringing the dog?"

If we have to put up with it then, it's better not to know at all. It's just a dog, why be so petty?
