Chapter 460 Henpecked Husbands: Where Does the Ji Family Get Their Confidence? [3 Updates]
The people being referred to are Wen Fengmian and Ji Yihang.
The middle-aged man was sent by Ji Yiyuan's faction, which currently holds the strongest influence in the Ji family.
They've been watching Ji Yihang for a long time.
They were just waiting for him to meet Wen Fengmian so they could arrest both brothers.
No one knows how much of Wen Fengmian's ability he still possesses after more than twenty years.
But the fact that Wen Fengmian managed to train two top scorers in the college entrance examination proves that his intelligence and talent are still there.
We absolutely cannot let Wen Fengmian enter the research lab alive.
Hearing the commotion, Madam Ji immediately ran out, her face slightly pale: "What do you want to do?"
"Mrs. Ji, it's just a routine greeting." The middle-aged man was still quite polite to her. "If there really is no result, we will send her back safely."
Madam Ji trembled with rage: "You're lying!"
When the island experiment failed, Ji Yihang was taken away in the same way.
After returning, I was half-dead.
“There are no traitors.” Ying Zijing hung up the phone and stood up. “And no one is going to be arrested.”
“Ying Shen.” Ji Li had obviously heard about these people from Ji Yihang and his wife before. She pulled Ying Zijin back and said, “Don’t get into a conflict with them. There are ancient martial arts practitioners among them.”
Even beginners in ancient martial arts can knock out a Taekwondo black belt with a single punch.
Not to mention, the two ancient martial arts practitioners beside the middle-aged man had at least ten years of cultivation.
Ji Li only found out that Ying Zijing was quite skilled after joining the super topic.
Ordinary people really can't compare to ancient martial arts practitioners.
Ji Li, fearing that she hadn't heard of ancient martial arts practitioners, added, "They really do kill people."
Ying Zijin did not respond.
She looked up and shook her head slightly in one direction.
Ji Li noticed her actions: "Ying Shen, what are you looking at?"
Ying Zijin looked away: "It's nothing, my neck is tired, I'm just turning it around."
"Oh, I know you. You were the top scorer in the college entrance exam and won first place in the ISC international finals. That's impressive. No one in the younger generation of the Ji family has achieved such international honors at your age." The middle-aged man turned around, looked at the girl indifferently, and smiled faintly. "But unfortunately, even with the support of the Mu family, the Nie family, and the Fifth family, they can't interfere in the internal affairs of the Ji family."
They were not afraid of the Mu and Nie families at all.
If it were someone from the fifth old house, they would take a step back.
After all, those people are the ones who truly have the talent for divination and will carry on the fifth family tradition.
The group of descendants from the Fifth Family who were separated from the main family, though known to the outside world, were just ordinary people.
The Ji family of the capital city has the backing of the ancient martial arts world and is also connected with the scientific research community of O continent.
In reality, the Mu family and the Nie family are not enough.
"An order personally issued by the Inner Court." The middle-aged man stopped looking at Ying Zijing, flipped his hand and took out a white piece of paper with a red seal on it. "Wen Fengmian, you don't think that just because you changed your surname and left the Ji family for so long, you don't have to abide by the Ji family's rules, do you?"
Ji Yihang's expression changed drastically.
The Ji family has many laboratories, but only one research institute.
It is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is where real power lies.
All actions taken by the Ji family are approved by the inner court.
If it really is an order from the inner court, then this is a serious matter.
Anyone who is a member of the Ji family must obey the inner court's orders.
"Even if someone is a traitor, they need a reason, right?" Ji Yihang just wanted to laugh. "What happened back then can't be blamed on Feng Mian. Does he think Ji Yiyuan can be in charge of the inner courtyard?"
The middle-aged man's face darkened, his gaze sharp: "Ji Yihang, watch your words."
If this label is attached, then Ji Yiyuan will be the traitor.
"Wen Fengmian, you were the lead researcher. The experiment failed, and you bear 90% of the responsibility," the middle-aged man said coldly. "So many people died, and you ran away. Shouldn't you repent?"
"The investment in the island experiment wasn't solely from the Ji family," Wen Fengmian said calmly. "Both O Continent and Imperial University have invested. You know very well how my experiment failed."
"Enough with the nonsense." The middle-aged man's expression changed; he didn't want to say any more. "Take him away."
Two martial arts practitioners stepped forward and reached out to grab Wen Fengmian's shoulder.
But they couldn't reach Wen Fengmian. Suddenly, their arm trembled, and they collapsed, still twitching on the ground.
Ji Li was startled and took a step back: "What's wrong with them?"
Ying Zijing rolled up her sleeves and said casually, "I don't know, maybe epilepsy."
She didn't do anything; she simply carried a herb with her and wiped away the fragrance.
This herb can only affect very low-level ancient martial artists, causing their internal energy to become chaotic and unable to condense.
If the meridians are not unblocked in time, it is very likely that all internal strength will be lost.
Although the middle-aged man was accompanied by a martial arts practitioner, he did not understand what martial arts were.
He stared at the two ancient martial arts practitioners lying on the ground, and his whole body stiffened.
Before the middle-aged man could react, he was struck on the forehead with a mid-air kick and sent flying out of the living room.
The force was so great that the middle-aged man felt a tightness in his chest and fainted.
Ying Zijing looked at Ji Li, who had withdrawn her leg.
"Hehe." Ji Li scratched her head, a little embarrassed. "I'm strong, and I've also studied martial arts."
“We also taught Xiaoli some self-defense techniques.” Madam Ji hugged Ji Li and pursed her lips. “Thank you for your help. They will definitely come again.”
No matter what methods Ji Yiyuan used to get the inner court to issue the order, they are not safe.
"Don't worry." Ying Zijing stepped forward and slowly kicked the other two martial arts practitioners away as well.
Then he half-squatted down, grabbed a clothesline pole, and began to search the pockets of the middle-aged man and the two martial arts practitioners.
Ji Li asked, puzzled, "Ying Shen, what are you doing?"
"Take the money and buy the door."
"..."
**
On the other side.
The Nie family.
"Young Master." After bowing, Yunshan scratched his head. "The Ji family members have gone, but they've all collapsed. My third brother is still watching over them. I came back to tell you."
They were always wary of the Ji family.
To be honest, most of the ancient martial arts practitioners sent by the Ji family in the ancient martial arts world were martial arts apprentices.
Ancient martial arts practitioners are also divided into levels, based on the years of training and the level of their cultivation.
Martial apprentices are the lowest rank.
He hasn't even cultivated for five years.
Yunshan felt that he could kill ten martial arts apprentices with one hand.
I really don't know where the Ji family gets their confidence from.
Fu Yun nodded deeply.
He glanced at his vibrating phone and answered it.
"Young Fu, is Zijing next to you?" Grandpa Zhong called anxiously after failing to get through to Ying Zijing. "I heard some noise on her end, then the call was cut off. Is she alright?"
"No." Fu Yunshen chuckled. "I'm keeping an eye on her, making sure she doesn't do anything reckless."
"Oh, okay." Old Master Zhong believed him. "I heard Feng Mian's family came looking for him? How did it go?"
Although Wen Fengmian was secretly operating on the island at the time, he did come out and even stayed at the Imperial University for a few days.
It just so happened that Mr. Zhong had also visited Beijing University at that time, which is why he found Wen Fengmian familiar.
However, due to the high degree of secrecy, he was unaware of the Ji family.
“It’s fine.” Fu Yunshen answered one by one. “They are eating, and Uncle Wen’s family is treating him very well.”
Grandpa Zhong was relieved and ended the call.
"Young Master," Yunshan asked cautiously, "would you dare say those words to Miss Ying?"
"Hmm, I wouldn't dare." Fu Yunshen lowered his peach blossom eyes, curled his lips, and smiled devilishly, "She's in charge of me."
Yunshan: "..."
**
The Ji family.
The middle-aged man returned empty-handed, losing two ancient martial arts practitioners in the process, which enraged Ji Yiyuan.
"Could he have a talent for ancient martial arts?" Ji Yiyuan was puzzled. "Although these two ancient martial arts practitioners are not strong, they are still ancient martial arts practitioners."
Only those skilled in ancient martial arts can defeat those skilled in ancient martial arts.
The middle-aged man, still throbbing from Ji Li's kick, said, "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't know."
“We can’t arrest any more, or it will attract the attention of the dean, who will send someone directly to tell Wen Fengmian that he can enter the research institute.” Ji Yiyuan’s expression was gloomy. “But we have one condition.”
"Give him that experimental project with O Continent. Only after he completes it can we continue the experiment from back then."
Ji Yiyuan did not control the inner courtyard, but several vice deans of the inner courtyard were on his side.
The dean is neutral, showing no favoritism and focusing solely on results.
The middle-aged man was slightly surprised: "Sir, are you referring to that experimental project?"
As far as he knew, that experimental project would fail 100% of the time because it lacked certain materials.
If they fail, the O continent will blame them, and the Ji family will not be able to bear the responsibility.
Therefore, no one in the Ji family dared to make a move.
Ji Yiyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted, "Not bad."
The Ji family needs someone to take the blame.
Now that Wen Fengmian is back, who else should we choose if not him?
