Chapter 1561 (1/2)
Chapter 700 - Lighting up
Last night, after returning home, he slept for a few hours according to the usual work and rest schedule. Afterwards, he woke up early in the morning to stretch his body, perform a set of simple fist techniques in the backyard, and then prepared to go out to buy breakfast.
”Ding … …”
At this moment, Ji Feng's phone suddenly rang. However, before he could take it out to see who was calling, the call went out of battery.
Ji Feng helplessly shook his head and returned to the living room to recharge his electricity.
After switching on the phone, he checked the caller ID and discovered that it was actually from Ji Shaoyan. He was somewhat puzzled as to why Ji Shaoyan would call him so early in the morning.
Ji Feng was about to call Ji Shaoshang, but before he could do so, the phone rang again. This time, it was his father, Ji Zhenhua.
”What's going on? Did we discuss how we're going to call so early?” Ji Feng quickly answered the phone, ”Dad …”
”Stinky brat, are you only willing to call me for help after someone else has placed the knife on your neck?!” The moment the call connected, Ji Zhenhua's authoritative voice came over the line.
”Hmm?”
Ji Feng was stunned. For a moment, he was unable to react. From his father's tone, why was he so angry?
”The Zheng Family sent a.s.sa.s.sins to kill you. Why didn't you tell me?” Ji Zhenhua asked in a low voice, ”Do you have to wait until that a.s.sa.s.sin's blade is right in front of you before you can remember to tell me?”
”...”
Ji Feng was stunned, he did not expect that his father called for this matter.
”Well, I have nothing on my side. The a.s.sa.s.sin was captured by me, so I didn't tell you!” Ji Feng replied, ”What's more, you want to kill me with just those a.s.sa.s.sins? They still don't have that much ability! ”
”It was your second uncle who didn't allow you to say it, right?” Ji Zhenhua, on the other hand, revealed the truth. ”Your second uncle is just a bit too calm!”
Ji Feng could only smile. His father was criticizing his second uncle, but as a junior, he couldn't say anything. Besides, from Ji Feng's perspective, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Second Uncle's method.
If it was him, he would definitely do the same. After all, the danger had pa.s.sed and the killer had been captured. What did it matter to him if he told his father or not before he had substantial evidence?
”Is there any evidence?”
Hearing his son's silly chuckle, Ji Zhenhua didn't say anything else. However, he felt a little regretful in his heart. The two guards that he sent to Jiang Prefecture had been withdrawn due to his son's opposition.
There are always some people in this world who don't want you to live a comfortable life. Who knows when the next time something like this would happen.
However, Ji Zhenhua would never tell these things to his son, as per the old rules. This time, Ji Zhenhua was planning to send guards to secretly follow Ji Feng.
But before that, Ji Zhenhua would never forgive someone who dared to a.s.sa.s.sinate his son.
”For the time being, I don't have any concrete evidence!” Ji Feng continued, ”We've only interrogated the two a.s.sa.s.sins. Although we've obtained the information from them, we can't find any evidence unless we directly break into the Zheng Family.”
Ji Feng explained the general situation, especially the information given by Qin Feiyu — he had only tracked his employer's IP address through the internet and then tracked down the Zheng Family as well as the head of the Zheng Family, Zheng Yuanhe. However, other than this, Qin Feiyu did not know of any other news.
This was a huge area.
There were so many people in the Zheng Family. Who knew who used that computer? Unless there was direct evidence to prove that Zheng Yuanhe had hired someone to kill someone through the internet, none of them would be able to hold him accountable!
Zheng Yuanhe could simply s.h.i.+rk his responsibility and say that there were a lot of guests at home. Who knew who used the computer, etc …
Furthermore, he would not have been able to take that step without concrete evidence. With Zheng Yuanhe's ident.i.ty, who would be able to easily investigate him?
”You dare to release the news without concrete evidence?”
Ji Zhenhua frowned and asked, ”You want to put pressure on the Zheng Family to make them make a mistake?”
”It's not just that!”
Ji Feng said, ”Dad, the truth is, if nothing unexpected happens, it would be impossible to find evidence of Zheng Yuanhe's murder. If he really did do it, I believe he will definitely clean up the area and not leave any traces behind. Moreover, there's no excuse to investigate Zheng Yuanhe … ”
Without evidence, there was no way to touch Zheng Yuanhe.
As for deliberately bluffing or silently gathering evidence, those weren't very feasible.
If he couldn't make a move on Zheng Yuanhe, then he wouldn't be able to strike a blow on the Zheng Family. Thus, in Ji Feng's heart, he intended to swallow his anger.
He had no choice but to swallow it!
