Ji Ling was at a loss, "What's wrong, brother?"

To be honest, she felt a little frightened when her brother stared at her like that.

"You don't know who Wei Fan is?"

Ji Ling: "I can't quite remember."

Ji Jianhua looked at his sister suspiciously again and muttered, "Who spread these rumors? If I find out, I'll kick his ass."

Seeing that his sister was still looking at him blankly.

Ji Jianhua sighed, "I didn't go to my grandfather's compound very often, but I heard people talking about it secretly. They said that you spread the word that Chen Jingming's uncle was abroad, and that if you liked Chen Jingming, you could go abroad. You don't even know who his uncle is, so how could these people spread rumors?"

Ji Ling was stunned. "Brother, you said Wei Fan is Chen Jingming's uncle? He is abroad?"

"Yes, he passed the exam and has been living abroad ever since." Seeing that his sister really didn't know, Ji Jianhua became even angrier. "If it weren't for the current busy schedule at home, I would have to find out who spread the rumor."

Ji Ling was still completely shocked that Wei Fan was Chen Jingming's uncle.

The blood in his body seemed to freeze in an instant. Could it be that it was because she had been pestering Chen Jingming that his uncle couldn't stand it and secretly attacked her?

Because of the original owner's actions, Ji's father was also implicated.

wrong.

That's not the case.

She had stopped pestering Chen Jingming before the college entrance examination, and even did better than Chen Jingming. Could it be that because she wanted her pen back and his uncle was protecting his child, he wanted to find someone to scare her? Thinking back to what happened on the street that night, the two gangsters didn't just want to scare her, they even used a dagger.

"Xiaoling, what's wrong?" Ji Jianhua called out a few times, but seeing that his sister was still silent, he pushed her lightly out of worry.

Ji Ling pursed her lips and said, "Brother, our family has no grudges against the Wei family. Why did they do this? Is it because Chen Jingming and I want to return the 500 yuan pen I gave them?"

"Chen Jingming's grandmother's family used to be leaders. It's impossible for them to do this for a pen." Ji Jianhua put aside those trivial matters and wondered why the Wei family attacked them. "Our family has never had any contact with the Wei family. The cause of this incident must still be the Chen family."

"Yes, there must be a connection here, involving me and the Chen family. If it's not because of the pen, then what is it?" Something flashed through Ji Ling's mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it, but she knew it must be crucial.

Seeing his sister mumbling and stamping her feet back and forth, Ji Jianhua did not disturb her and waited quietly by her side.

Suddenly, Ji Ling stopped and looked at Ji Jianhua in astonishment, "Brother, I think I know a little bit, but how is it possible?"

Seeing that his sister looked unhappy, Ji Jianhua consoled her, "Xiaoling, don't be afraid. Even if the Wei family has a backer, so what? Our family is not afraid."

"Brother, you know that my college admission letter came very late. Later, they said that they forgot about it because they were busy in the city. Brother, do you understand what the top scorer in the college entrance examination represents? How could you forget it?" Ji Ling lowered her eyes, "I suddenly remembered that Chen Jingming called Grandma Zheng's house and asked me about the exam. Later, when he came to the city, he asked me which university I was admitted to and what major I studied."

Taking a deep breath, Ji Ling said, "Brother, can the Chen family take away my qualification to go to college?"

Ji Jianhua was so shocked by the news that he didn't react for a long time.

Ji Ling took a deep breath. "I remember Chen Wanting also took the college entrance examination this year? How did she do?"

"I'll go ask Ji Ke." Ji Jianhua strode towards the ward and met Ji Ke halfway. He grabbed her and asked, "Did Chen Wanting get into college?"

Ji Ke was in a bad mood and tried to shake off the hand on her arm in a fit of tantrum. After several attempts, it didn't work. She was about to cry, but when she looked up, she met her eldest brother's fierce gaze and was frightened.

Instinctively shook my head.

Ji Jianhua let go of his hand, his whole body trembling slightly, "They... They actually had this idea."

Looking at his sister's determined eyes, he kept shaking his head at her, thinking about his sister in danger and his father's car accident.

Yes, if the Zhu family hadn't investigated, they would still be lambs to be slaughtered. Even if they went head-on now, would they have evidence? "Okay." Ji Jianhua swallowed the resentment and hatred in his heart.

Ji Ke was frightened, "Sister, what happened?"

Ji Ling glanced at Ji Ke indifferently, then took Ji Jianhua away.

Ji Ke was left standing there, mouth slightly open, not daring to feel wronged this time.

On the way back, Ji Ling had already quickly arranged what they were going to do next, "Brother, right now the family is safe, Dad is in the hospital, you must keep a close eye on him, as well as your mom and Ji Ke."

"I think the most important thing is that you take care of yourself. You are the target." Ji Jianhua calmed down, his mind working fast, "I don't understand, if they couldn't do it to you, why did they do it to Dad? Do they want to bring down our family? That won't stop you from going to college."

Ji Ling thought of a possibility, but she didn't want to think about it. She hoped that she was just thinking too extreme.

"Brother, let's wait. Since the other party has taken action and there is not much time left before school starts, they will definitely take action. We just need to watch." Ji Ling did not express her guess in her mind, but just asked Ji Jianhua to be patient.

After returning to the ward and hearing from Xu Fang that her father still needed a craniotomy, Ji Ling's eyes moved, and she felt that she was one step closer to the truth she had guessed.

Ji Jianhua fell silent when he heard the seriousness of the matter.

How could the Ji family afford the tens of thousands of dollars in surgery fees?

A gloomy atmosphere hung over the Ji family.

At night, Ji Ling sat alone on a long chair in the backyard of the hospital, looking at the stars in the sky. The cool breeze blew in the August night, which was cozy and comfortable, but she had no intention of enjoying the tranquility.

She knew too well how weak her own power was. The Wei and Chen families dared to do it without leaving any evidence. Since Wei Fan was abroad, no one knew how many people had passed through all this, so she couldn't do anything to him.

She knew that the worst outcome would be that she gritted her teeth and held on until school started, so that the plans of the Chen and Wei families would fail. But could Ji's father hold on in his current condition?

Unless Ji Ling looked up and saw a figure walking not far away.

He came from the darkness, with his back to the light, so her face couldn't be seen clearly, but Ji Ling still recognized him at the first sight.

Zhu Weidong.

From repairing bicycle chains to reporting criminals for a reward, to being rescued by him on the street, all the little details between the two of them flooded into her mind in an instant.

It seemed that he always encountered her embarrassing side, but he could always help her out of danger when she was in crisis.

"I'm sorry, you pressed down on my book."

Ji Ling: She stood up awkwardly, and when she turned around she saw a book sitting under her.

She laughed dryly and said, "This book is quite thick."

After saying this, she wished she could bite off her tongue.

Phew, even more embarrassing.
