Chapter 289 - Bad Situation [3]

Ji Shaolei's words caused Ji Feng to be shocked. His heart sank. ”Why?”

”... The condition of the old man's body has changed. He may have started to lie down recently and is now living in the hospital's intensive care unit. Even I've only seen the old man once. Ji Shalei's voice was low, and he was well aware of the consequences the old man's departure would have for the Ji Clan.

”Can't do it anymore?” Ji Feng frowned as he asked.

He didn't expect that Ji Feng would ask him in such a direct manner.

After a moment of silence, Ji Shaolei said, ”According to the diagnosis given by the doctors, we should not be able to survive through this winter.”

Ji Feng's heart sank. After a long while, he slowly replied, ”I understand.”

On the phone, Ji Shaolei sighed lightly and said indignantly, ”To see the old gramps now, you have to report it on several levels and get permission to see him. And, according to my father and uncle, since a few months ago when the old man's health started to get worse, some people couldn't sit still anymore, so the situation here is a bit complicated. I've asked my uncle and he thinks it's better if you don't come to Beijing now. ”

”Father won't let me go to Beijing?” His father still wouldn't let him go to Beijing, which meant that there should be trouble waiting for him there. Or rather, as long as he went to Beijing, trouble would come knocking on his door and his father would only agree to him going to Beijing to protect him!

”Second brother, if you can leave, stay in Beijing for a while and report to me about the old man's condition and what happened in Beijing.” Ji Feng hesitated for a moment before replying, ”Oh right, if you have time, go visit my mom. Last time she called me, I could tell that she wasn't having a good time over there.”

”Humph!”

Ji Shaorei coldly laughed, ”Of course I won't be at ease. How can aunty be at ease when there are a few long-tongued women who only wish to stir up some trouble with the world? San'er, don't worry. I've already gone to visit my aunt, she's not comfortable, so it's only temporary. Once uncle stabilizes the situation, everything will be fine. ”

A cold glint of light flickered in Ji Feng's eyes as he grinned, ”I understand. Second brother, tell me the news regarding the old master in time.”

The two of them said a few more things they needed to pay attention to before hanging up.

Ji Feng stopped his car by the roadside and casually lit up a cigarette, slowly smoking and remaining silent. However, his eyes were glinting with a cold light. If one were to take a closer look, they would see that Ji Feng was tightly gripping the steering wheel with one of his hands. His veins were bulging, clearly trying his best to suppress the rage in his heart.

Tong Lei sat in the back row, worriedly looking at Ji Feng, but didn't know what to say. She only knew that Ji Feng was infuriated, and it could be said that he was infuriated as well. At least, since she got to know Ji Feng, she had never seen his expression before.

What could make Ji Feng so angry?

Although Tong Lei was smart, she had never been in contact with these things, so she didn't know how to comfort her.

”Hu!”

After finis.h.i.+ng the last mouthful of cigarette smoke, Ji Feng threw the cigarette b.u.t.t into the car belt ashtray. He smiled faintly and said, ”Let's go, I'll send you to school first.”

Ji Feng had been training according to the standards of a super secret service agent for over a year. Now, he was able to control his emotions. If it wasn't for the fact that it involved his parents and the old man, he wouldn't have lost his composure. Even so, he quickly returned to normal, at least on the surface.

”Ji Feng, I don't know what happened, but everything will be fine. Tell me, won't you?” Tong Lei said softly.

Ji Feng smiled, ”Don't worry, I'm not that weak. I just need to spend some time smoking.”

Tong Lei also smiled sweetly, and said, ”I knew it, no matter what happens, you wouldn't be defeated that easily.”

Ji Feng laughed heartily as he started the car and drove in the direction of the school.

After a moment of silence, Ji Feng suddenly said in a serious tone, ”Actually, you are wrong.”

”Huh?”

Hearing Ji Feng's nonsense, Tong Lei didn't react for a moment. She looked at Ji Feng gently and asked, ”What did you say wrong?”

Ji Feng said in a low voice: ”It's not that nothing can stop me, but there are many things I can't take. For example, if you and the other people around me were to get hurt, I would really collapse! You are the people I care about the most! ”

His voice was very low, but Tong Lei heard it. Suddenly, she felt a twinge in her nose and quickly turned her head to look out the window. She was extremely touched.

This was because Tong Lei was very clear that Ji Feng would not lie to her. What he said must be true!

A thick sense of happiness filled her heart. Tong Lei tried her best not to let herself shed tears, but a happy smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
