Chapter 326: 325 Ji Family’s Predicament_1

"Big brother, don’t act as if you’re so nobly just," Ji Pianran retorted scornfully. "If it wasn’t for you driving me out of the Ji Family, how would I have ended up working for Young Master Xu? The consequences that have come about are equally due to your own fault."

Standing across from him, Ji Changming’s face was overcast, his tone frosty.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingmu, who sat in his chair, began to clap and laugh loudly. "Well said! Oh, and allow me to formally introduce to Patriarch Ji, the man standing before you is now the general manager of our Xu Family’s new company. Surprised? Astonished?"

At these words, Ji Guangsheng felt a surge of rage rush to his chest, his head thundering, his body swaying slightly.

He had never imagined that the one who would betray his family most cruelly would be his own younger brother.

However, it was clear that Xu Qingmu wasn’t about to let him off the hook just yet; he stood up unhurriedly from his chair.

Step by step, he approached Ji Guangsheng, a sinister smile curling at the corners of his lips.

"Ji Guangsheng, do you think my methods end here? No, after you were ousted from the Ji Family, I prepared an even bigger surprise for you. Before the mystery is unveiled, why doesn’t Patriarch Ji take a guess as to what it might be?"

Ji Guangsheng stiffened, glancing at the two men standing before him.

Considering Xu Qingmu’s earlier scheming, realization seemed to dawn on Ji Guangsheng; his face suddenly paled.

Without another thought, he turned to leave.

However, seeing his discomfited expression, the smug look on Xu Qingmu’s face intensified.

He lightly clapped his hands, and the doors of the study were promptly opened from the outside.

The butler, Bai Guang, looking utterly panicked, stumbled in at that moment.

"Master, it’s terrible! I received a call from the family, just now a group of journalists with some people forced their way into our Ji Family factory to film. They discovered a large amount of rotten and poisonous goji berries on the packaging line. Many newspapers are viciously attacking us, and even the regulators have gotten involved. Our family’s dozen factories have now all been shut down!"

Ji Guangsheng, who had nearly reached the door, stopped dead on hearing such devastating news, rage boiling over within him.

Just as he opened his mouth to speak, a salty taste filled his throat, and blood suddenly spilled onto the ground.

His legs gave way and he collapsed backward in a heap.

"Master, master..."

The sudden turn of events shocked Butler Bai Guang, who hurriedly rushed over to help him up from the ground.

Ji Guangsheng knew that Xu Qingmu intended to target the Ji Family.

But he had never imagined that the blow would come so swiftly and so ruthlessly.

Now shaking with fury, he stared intensely at the two men across from him.

Xu Qingmu was utterly pleased with himself as he looked at Patriarch Ji, who was now bloodied at the mouth and unable to stand, the pleasure evident on his face.

"Old man, to think my plan succeeded so well, I really have to thank your dear second brother. Otherwise, how could I have smuggled those defective goji berries onto your Ji Family’s production line so undetected?"

I’ve said it before, everyone who dares to deceive me will have to pay the price!

Ji Guangsheng, don’t you die just yet because... this is just the beginning.

Next, I want you to watch with your own eyes how I play to death your Ji Family bit by bit.

Before that happens, you’d better cling to life, hahaha."

Having said this, Xu Qingmu then shouted toward the doorway of the study.

"Someone come quick, take Patriarch Ji to the hospital immediately!"

...

Meanwhile, in Haicheng.

Ji Pianran was at home, taking Tiantian to play in the park, unaware of his father Ji Guangsheng’s hasty departure the day before.

She was somewhat surprised in her heart but didn’t think too much about it.

She simply assumed that there might be some leaders from Chuan City coming for an inspection, which required reception.

Although Ji Guangsheng’s stay in Haicheng wasn’t long, his relationship with his little granddaughter was very good.

Tangtang sobbed for quite a while after knowing that her grandfather, who always smiled at her warmly and doted on her greatly, had gone back.

It wasn’t until later when Ji Pianran promised to take her to visit her grandfather after Tangtang’s summer holiday that the little girl finally broke into a smile.

And it was at that moment her phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

Ji Pianran took it out and saw that the incoming call was from her mother.

A smile unconsciously appeared on her face; then she pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Mom, is there something up?" Ji Pianran asked curiously.

Hearing her daughter’s voice on the other end, Wu Shuhui’s tears suddenly started flowing uncontrollably.

However, not wishing to worry her daughter, she hurriedly reached to wipe away the tears on her face.

She tried to control her voice, which was near breaking, before speaking to her daughter.

"It’s nothing serious, Pianran. I just called to tell you to be extra careful recently. The Xu Family... Xu Qingmu has found out that you’re still alive. I’m... I’m worried he might harm you."

At Wu Shuhui’s words, Ji Pianran’s face also turned ugly.

This was the very thing she had been most concerned about since her encounter with the family, and now it had happened.

But now, she was no longer the fragile, helpless little girl she once was.

Then, she pressed down the panic that was rising in her heart and instead reassured Wu Shuhui over the phone.

"Okay, Mom, I got it. Don’t worry, I’ll be on the alert. And you don’t need to worry too much about me. The Xu Family might have significant influence in Chuan City, but don’t forget that I’m now in Haicheng, and Gu Chen will protect me. Even if Xu Qingmu really comes, he might not be able to do anything to me," Ji Pianran said over the phone. But immediately after, her face changed as she thought of something. After all, Xu Qingmu had once pursued her desperately.

She understood him all too well; otherwise, she wouldn’t have secretly fled from her wedding.

Ji Pianran was also very clear about the nearly crazed obsession in Xu Qingmu and the almost pathological possessiveness he had toward her.

Now that he had learned of her whereabouts, Xu Qingmu would definitely not let the Ji Family off.

She then remembered her father Ji Guangsheng’s unannounced departure from Haicheng.

A bad premonition rose in her heart.

She hurriedly spoke, her voice tinged with a hint of nervousness.

"Mom, tell me, what’s really going on with Dad? His rush back to Chuan City, did something happen to our family?"

She was eager to know the answer.

Wu Shuhui hadn’t expected her daughter to be so astute, deducing the current crisis of the Ji Family from just a few hints.

She wanted to comfort her daughter, but as soon as she started to speak, her own voice began to choke up.

"Your father, your father... he has been so angered that he’s now been hospitalized."
