Chapter 72 - Means of Blockage
Chapter 72 - Means of Blockage
That night, Mrs. Ji took advantage of dinner to tell Ji Zhenwei about going to school during the day.
Ji Xingzhe was also sitting at the table eating today. He was stunned when he heard this: "Mom, did you go to school to find Teacher Ning?!"
"Yes. Why are you so scared? Mom is here to support you. If Ning Fei causes trouble for you in school in the future, you must tell Mom when you come back." Madam Ji replied, "But Ning Fei is very sharp-tongued and has a bad attitude. He doesn't care about me or Principal Zhang. Husband, he said he is a good friend of Duan Yunhong, is that true?"
"Friends? At best, it's just an employment relationship." Ji Zhenwei's impression of Ning Fei still lingers on the last time he and Duan Yunhong came to Ji's house together. "But he does have a mean mouth. What did he do in Yunhong's name?"
"Nothing, he just mentioned that he would not hurt his friend's nephew. I think he wants to take this opportunity to put pressure on the principal, and use his power to bully others so that the school will not dare to seriously investigate this matter." Madam Ji replied, "No, this matter must be thoroughly investigated! Xiaozhe was obviously upset because of him and fell down. Not only does he not feel any guilt, he even preaches with a sanctimonious look. How can he teach students well like this? The school should really investigate him, not only this time, but also his usual actions. Don't think that having a diploma from studying abroad is great..."
"Mom, this matter really has nothing to do with Teacher Ning! Don't look for him, I was just distracted for a moment!" Ji Xingzhe finally couldn't help but interrupt. The more he listened, the more frightened he became. His mother's tone didn't sound like she wanted to simply investigate Ning Fei, but rather like she wanted to get rid of him and stop him from doing his job. Ji Xingzhe is actually not afraid of Ning Fei himself. If it comes to Ning Fei alone, he will do it. But behind Ning Fei there is Duan Yunhong! Ji Xingzhe doesn't think that theirs is just a simple employment relationship.
After all, Ning Fei dared to take out his cell phone to call Duan Yunhong at any time, and he even knew that Duan Yunhong and Ji Yuechi were together now. If Ning Fei's matter caused Duan Yunhong to do something, then Ji Xingzhe's gritted teeth and fell down would not only be suffering in vain, but would also further trigger the thing he least wanted to face.
——No, this must be stopped!
Ji Xingzhe was determined to do this and had to continue to speak for Ning Fei, whom he hated. "And Teacher Ning was right. It's true that he was not the only teacher who talked to me. My homeroom teacher also talked to me before. I was worried about my unstable grades, so I was in a bad mood. It has nothing to do with whether Teacher Ning talked to me or not. Mom, I just want to have a good rest and change my mood. Please don't talk to my teacher, okay?"
"Alas, kid, why are you still speaking for him? You are just too kind..." Madam Ji finally remembered to pay attention to her child. "Then what happened to your recent drop in grades? If I hadn't gone to school this time, I wouldn't have known that your recent study status is like this. Do you really miss your brother? When he went to college, you didn't react so strongly."
Ji Xingzhe could only use a new lie to cover up the previous one: "Uh, I lied to my teacher. Actually... my father told me to go to Shenzhen during the winter vacation to learn management and business. I was so excited that I looked up a lot of information and news about Shenzhen..."
"So he was distracted?" Madam Ji didn't expect this to be the reason. She glanced at her husband and said, "It was you who caused him to be exposed to these things so early. Look how excited he is. Do you still want to read this book?"
Ji Zhenwei himself is an average student, and he feels proud that he can still manage such a large industry even though he is not a good student. He casually replied, "Even if he can't go to college, can't we arrange a good job for him? He is not a poor student, why put so much pressure on him?"
Ji Xingzhe didn't dare to really give up studying, so he quickly said, "Dad, I still want to go to a good university."
"Go ahead. If you can pass, then go. If you can't, I'll help you find a solution." Ji Zhenwei said, "But once you decide to do something, you have to do it well. My son, Ji Zhenwei, is not so unstable."
"good……"
Madam Ji suddenly said, "Speaking of poor students, husband, I saw the poor student who was suspected of cheating last time at school."
Ji Xingzhe's heart skipped a beat.
Ji Zhenwei said: "I saw it, but how did you recognize him? Could it be that the school wants our family to sponsor poor students?"
"No. I just happened to see him and heard someone calling him." Madam Ji replied, "But he looks familiar to me. Guess what's going on?"
Ji Zhenwei was eating and asked halfheartedly, "Know him?"
"I don't know him." Madam Ji didn't care about her husband's perfunctory attitude and said, "But that Lin Shengjia looks a lot like you!"
Ji Xingzhe's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Ji Zhenwei didn't notice his son's abnormality, nor did he pay much attention to his wife's remarks. He just responded casually: "How similar can they be? It's not worth your special mention."
"Oh, he really looks like you when you were young, you look exactly like them." Madam Ji said, "If you two stood together, people might think you were father and son. Oh, if he wasn't living a bad life and didn't treat his children the way you do, I would have suspected that you made a mistake when you were young."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Zhenwei took a sip of soup, feeling a little unhappy about this topic. "Seeing a student you don't know makes you think so much. You really have too much free time."
"You still don't believe it? Okay, the next parents' meeting will be after the final exam. I was thinking that if Xiaozhe doesn't have an exam, I won't go and can just call the teacher. In that case, I'll go." Madam Ji's temper also rose a little. "Go while the students are still here. Bring a camera to take pictures for you. By the way, see if Lin Shengjia's parents look like you..."
Madam Ji was talking to herself, Ji Zhenwei turned a deaf ear to her, and Ji Xingzhe was feeling uneasy. There were three people at the table, and they finished the meal with their own thoughts.

After dinner, Ji Xingzhe returned to his room with the help of the nanny.
He sat on the bed alone, holding his phone and thinking for a long time, and finally decided to send a message to Qin Ran.
There was no way. Although Zhu Yueting was the most useful one and would take action if he said something ambiguous, Ji Xingzhe had already distanced himself from her. As for Qin Ran, even though he was relatively hard to deceive, he was the most opinionated one. Moreover, Ji Xingzhe understood the other person's temper very well and knew that he would respond to soft words and not hard words. Since he was a child, he would always agree if he acted coquettishly to him.
The main thing is that Ji Xingzhe had a very clear voice in his heart: we can't delay any longer.
If left unchecked, when the mother really goes to take photos of Lin Shengjia and comes back after the end of the semester, something uncontrollable and irreversible is likely to happen. Ji Xingzhe wanted to stop it, but he really couldn't find a reason to convince Madam Ji. The fact that Madam Ji went to the school to find Ning Fei without permission was enough to scare Ji Xingzhe out of his wits. He was afraid that if he tried to stop them, Madam Ji would instead feel that Ning Fei and the school had done something to her and would take further action against Ning Fei. If Ning Fei pulls Duan Yunhong to fight back at that time, the only one who will be in trouble will be Ji Xingzhe himself.
Madam Ji's option was not feasible, so Ji Xingzhe had only one choice.
——Move Lin Shengjia.
And it was a move that would not implicate Ning Fei.
After thinking carefully, Ji Xingzhe finally sent the first message: [Brother Ran, are you busy now? I have something on my mind and I want to talk to someone. I really can’t find anyone else, so after thinking about it, I feel safe telling you alone…】

After Ning Fei had a meeting with Madam Ji, he thought that she would definitely urge the school to deal with him. As a result, the next few days were very peaceful, which made Ning Fei a little confused.
He even talked about this with Duan Yunhong and asked what the Ji family's current reaction was. Duan Yunhong didn't take it seriously, saying that Madam Ji might have just realized that her son was not in the right. Even if not, when she comes to pick a fight with Ning Fei again, Ning Fei can just call him directly.
Ning Fei was delighted when he heard these words on the phone: "Why, Mr. Duan, are you finally willing to be my 'protective umbrella'?"
Duan Yunhong didn't comment, but just said: "Haven't you been talking about 'disrupting the Ji family'? Isn't this a good starting point?"
Ning Fei was even happier: "I think you are urging me because you are annoyed by the Ji family. Are you tired of taking care of that brat Ji Yuechi recently? Hahahaha..."
In short, time was getting closer to the end of the semester, and everything was so quiet that Ning Fei felt like something was wrong. Finally, one night, on the way home after evening self-study, the "accident" finally happened.
Ning Fei's motorcycle happened to have some minor problems these two days. After sending the motorcycle for repair, he has been riding his bicycle to and from get off work - the bicycle was also bought for him by Mr. Duan. Teachers always get off work later than students, so by the time Ning Fei rode his bike out of the campus, all the students had already left.
Ning Fei rode his bike in the breeze, slowly moving forward on the way home. There were not many cars on the road at this moment, the shops on the street were all closed, and the street lights were flickering or even broken, as if some strange person or stray dog could jump out of the darkness on the roadside at any time. Fortunately, Ning Fei was already very familiar with this road and could find the direction home even in the dark, so there was no need to be nervous.
Suddenly, he saw a bicycle lying on the side of the road.
The bike seemed to be intact. Nowadays, a bicycle in such good condition would not be left alone on the roadside and unattended for a long time. And as Ning Fei got closer, he felt that the car looked more and more familiar.
——This seems... a bit like Lin Shengjia’s car?
Ning Fei stopped beside the fallen car and, using the dim light from the street lamp, carefully scanned the cars on the ground. The more he looked at it, the more certain he became that it must belong to Lin Shengjia! But when I looked closely, I could see that the handlebars were actually crooked, but I wasn't sure what caused it.
——His car is here, where is he?
Ning Fei had an ominous premonition in his heart. Just at this moment, a loud "bang" was heard from the depths of a dark alley not far from the street, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground, accompanied by faint shouting and cursing.
Ning Fei looked in the direction of the sound and narrowed his eyes slightly.
