Chapter 325: 324 It’s hard to guard against a thief within the family!_1

Chuan City, an extremely luxurious latest model Mercedes-Benz business van sped along the newly laid highway.

It soon arrived in front of the wide gate of a sprawling estate, where it came to a slow stop.

Butler Bai Guang quickly stepped down from the car and then stretched out his hand to pull open the door on the side of the Mercedes.

At that moment, Ji Guangsheng, with his stern face, slowly emerged from inside.

"Patriarch Ji, our master has been waiting for you for a long time now,"

said a man in a gray suit with a smile on his face to Ji Guangsheng.

Then, with a light clap of his hands, the estate’s grand gates immediately opened to both sides.

In front of them stood over twenty tall and muscular bodyguards dressed in black.

These men held uniform weapons and stood solemnly on either side of the gate.

Although their figures were as straight as statues, their eyes were filled with vigilance.

Their gaze was fixed on the movement around them, looking out for any slight rustle of wind or grass.

Seeing this, Ji Guangsheng couldn’t help but snort coldly, knowing that this display was seemingly respectful.

In fact, it was a thinly veiled attempt to intimidate him.

He felt contempt in his heart for this show, and then, without any hesitation, he strode towards the interior of the estate.

The Xu Family’s butler saw that this move had no effect on Ji Guangsheng, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

However, his expression remained unchanged, and he took the initiative to lead the way in front of him.

They walked all the way to the door of a study within the manor, where the butler finally stopped, bowed slightly, and made a welcoming gesture as he said,

"Patriarch Ji, my young master is inside. Please go in."

Hearing the butler’s words, Ji Guangsheng did not hesitate and pushed open the door to the study directly.

The study’s decoration was also extremely luxurious, with rows of mahogany bookshelves lined up inside.

Next to each row of bookshelves were two or three exquisitely fine pieces of porcelain, beside which were filled with all kinds of books.

In front of him was placed a very expensive mahogany desk, piled with various documents.

In the chair behind the desk, there sat a young man dressed in a white casual outfit.

At that moment, he was casually resting his feet on the desk, holding a cup of coffee, leisurely drinking.

This person was the current head of the Xu Family, Xu Qingmu.

Beside him stood a man in his thirties who bore a seven or eight out of ten resemblance to Ji Guangsheng.

And this person, he knew as well, was his younger brother Ji Changming, who had vanished for some time after the falling out they had that day.

"Long time no see, Uncle Ji. Come, please have a seat," Xu Qingmu said to Ji Guangsheng with a smiling face.

However, Ji Guangsheng’s expression at this moment was extremely ugly.

Because he still had some doubts as to why the people of the Xu Family

knew the Ji Family’s sales channels and all the internal dynamics like the back of their hand.

Even several attempts he made to track down those who were selling fake goji berries had been in vain.

But today, upon seeing Ji Changming standing beside Xu Qingmu, he understood everything.

Seeing the mocking provocation in Ji Changming’s eyes, Ji Guangsheng felt waves of anger surging in his heart.

He wanted to grab the collar of the man right then and there and demand to know why he had become a traitorous insider.

But Ji Guangsheng still remembered the purpose of his visit today, so he could only suppress his anger for the time being, turning his gaze to the young man across from him and said,

"Qingmu, our Ji Family and your Xu Family have been on good terms in Chuan City for many years, we are all quite familiar with each other.

Your little tricks are indeed effective, but they cannot escape my eyes."

However, since I’ve taken the initiative to come here today, let’s dispense with the niceties and cut to the chase.

"What exactly do you want for you to stop what you’re doing now?"

Xu Qingmu smiled lightly, set down his coffee, and spoke indifferently.

"Is that not a foolish question? Can’t you see why I’m doing this? I’m working to secure benefits for our Xu Family.

Ji Guangsheng, did you ask our Xu Family’s permission before trying to muscle into Chuan City’s patent medicine business?"

At this point, Xu Qingmu paused, his expression becoming even more arrogant, as he let out a sneering laugh.

"However, if it were simply about selling some lousy goji berries, I wouldn’t even bother to pay attention.

But the one thing you shouldn’t have done was to deceive me.

Ji Guangsheng, tell me, until now... Ji Pianran, that bitch, she isn’t dead, is she?"

Hearing Xu Qingmu’s words, Ji Guangsheng’s heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

But he maintained his composure on his face, even responding with a sneer.

"Heh heh... That’s right, you guessed it, Pian Ran is not dead, and in fact, she’s living quite well.

Xu Qingmu, you really are exceedingly clever to even know about our Ji Family’s affairs.

But what good does knowing all this do for you? Surely you don’t think you can snatch Pian Ran away?"

"Hahaha! I do indeed intend to snatch Pian Ran away.

Ji Guangsheng, you schemed against me back in the day, making my Xu Family lose face on the day of the grand wedding.

And now you’ve pulled off a bait-and-switch? Do you really think you can just let this go?"

"This time, I’m not only going to ruin Ji Pianran, I’m going to destroy your entire Ji Family as revenge for that great humiliation."

Upon hearing this, Ji Guangsheng was already seething with rage.

His daughter Ji Pianran was his Achilles’ heel and he couldn’t help but shout angrily.

"Xu Qingmu, I advise you better not harbor intentions toward Pian Ran, otherwise, even if it means mobilizing the entire might of the Ji Family,

I will fight with your Xu Family to the very end."

Unfortunately, Ji Guangsheng’s words did not make Xu Qingmu feel the slightest bit afraid.

On the contrary, it made him laugh even more wildly, his expression also full of mockery and pride.

"Hahaha! Ji Guangsheng, oh Ji Guangsheng, you’re far too naïve. Do you think I, Xu Qingmu, am a fool?

I bet you really want to know why even though you’re sure I’m the one meddling, you can never trace the source of that batch of goods.

How about you guess what the reason might be?"

Ji Guangsheng sensed something was amiss from the opponent’s demeanor, yet subconsciously, he didn’t want to believe it.

His gaze turned to his younger brother Ji Changming, who was also smiling with a face full of scorn as he looked down on him.

In an instant, he felt blood rush to his head, and his body began to tremble slightly from extreme anger.

"Ji Changming, it was you, I see now.

So that batch of poisonous fakes wasn’t produced externally after all.

Instead, it was tampered with right from the start on Ji Family’s production line."

At this point, Ji Guangsheng’s eyes were filled with blood.

And his whole being resembled a lion furious with rage, ready to tear into anyone.

"No matter how much you guard against outsiders, it’s the traitor within that’s hardest to defend against.

Ji Changming, do you realize what you’re doing, destroying the reputation our Ji Family has built up over generations!"
