Everyone watched as those people were pushed to the center and struggled to beg for mercy.
“Miss Ji, please, please let me go.”
“Miss Ji, please spare my life.”
“Miss
Ji Ziyin ignored them and softly spoke to the respected elders with a smile. “Elders, I’ve also heard about the incident at the hall and immediately got someone to investigate.”
She immediately turned to look at the people rolling on the ground begging for mercy. A trace of disdain quickly flashed across the corners of her eyes before she turned back and said to the elders, “I’ve already captured the culprits. They’re from the East Pole Organization.”
Second Elder, Fourth Elder, and the others looked at the men rolling on the ground and frowned, unable to hide their anger.
Ji Ziyin caught it and immediately said, “I’ll hand them over to you. You can deal with them however you want.”
She acted like she had solved their problem.
Many of the Ji family’s subordinates did not know the inside story and looked at her gratefully like Ji Ziyin had avenged those who had sacrificed themselves in the branch hall.
However, these little tricks could not fool the experienced elders.
Second Elder and Fourth Elder could see the anger and resentment in each other’s eyes, but they tacitly suppressed it.
The reclusive families supported Ji Ziyin.
Leonard, one of the three heads of the Privy Council, was still in the independent continent.
Even that woman’s Shadow was behind her.
They could all tell that this ‘sneak attack’ was just a pretense, and Ji Ziyin had ‘arrested them soon after…
What else were they unclear about?
This was the opportunity the power behind Ji Ziyin had given her to establish her prestige and influence in the family!
“You’re saying that these people attacked the Rose Road Branch? Is that right?”
At first, Second Elder thought highly of her. But after experiencing this incident, he had completely seen through Ji Ziyin’s cold heart. However, he
could not afford to offend her backer and could only pretend not to understand.
Ji Ziyin did not care what they thought. She nodded slightly and said in all seriousness, “I’ve investigated. They were the ones who attacked the hall. I only caught a few of the main perpetrators, but their organization’s mastermind ran away.”
Second Elder sneered in his heart. What a coincidence. The troublemakers!
mastermind had ‘run away’. She only caught a few small fries to take the blame.
Seeing that he did not speak, Ji Ziyin apologized humbly, “I’m sorry, Second Elder. I accidentally let him go.”
Second Elder only felt that her face was revolting.
However, she had ‘caught’ the culprits and just accidentally let the leader go. If he blamed her, he would seem unreasonable.
He could only give the woman a fake smile and pat her shoulder gently.
“You’ve already done very well.”
Ji Ziyin seemed to want to say something but hesitated. “Second Elder. Actually, I think… the reason these people dared to attack the branch hall so arrogantly is because the patriarch’s whereabouts are unknown. I think you and the elders can consider finding a replacement for now. It’s not that this person has to replace the patriarch for good. At the very least, someone has to hold the fort. Otherwise, I’m afraid other forces in the independent continent will become restless. Perhaps something like today will happen again…” Second Elder’s smile froze.. His sharp gaze almost pierced through her heart!
