Chapter 1229 - Entering openly
Chen Wan was stunned. She looked deeply at Ji Lihai. Although she still looked calm on the surface, there was a faint uneasiness within her heart. This was because she gradually realized that the situation seemed to have exceeded her control. Even though Ji Lihai was alone at the moment and all of his bodyguards had already been secretly bribed by her, she still felt somewhat uneasy.
Ji Lihai's calmness and calmness was simply too abnormal!
Chen Wan believed that if it was anyone else who knew that her daughter might be in danger, they would definitely not be this calm.
”Aren't you afraid that Ji Yu will be in danger?” Chen Wan couldn't help but ask. However, just as she asked this question, she regretted it. This action exposed the uneasiness in her heart.
However, he had already said that he wouldn't be able to take her back. Chen Wan forcefully pretended to be indifferent as she looked at Ji Lihai. In her mind, she quickly thought of an excuse to respond to Ji Lihai's various reactions.
However, what made Chen Wan surprised was that Ji Lihai did not mock her, nor did he reveal any expression of satisfaction. He only shook his head slightly and said, ”Isn't this just what you want? ”In your opinion, as the leader of the Bamboo Alliance, I am definitely more considerate than an ordinary commoner. I also have more concerns and, in other words, I am more afraid of death than an ordinary commoner, right?”
Chen Wan was slightly startled.
Ji Lihai lightly smiled and said, ”This is human nature. There is a saying in Huaxia, 'The older the martial arts world, the more cowardly you will become.'” There was also a saying, ”A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger.” Someone like me, who has a great background, status, and position, should be even more afraid of death. Even when I know that my daughter might be in danger, I would definitely not be like those ordinary citizens in the city who would risk their lives when they get hot … ”
At this point, he looked at Chen Wan, ”Aren't you and your organization thinking like this?”
Chen Wan was stunned, and didn't know how to reply.
She and the organization were indeed thinking this way. People like Ji Lihai were definitely more afraid of death than ordinary people, and in the eyes of these people, benefits were more important than family relations.h.i.+ps. That was why Chen Wan dared to put Ji Yu in danger.
Ji Lihai's words were absolutely correct!
But for some reason, when Ji Lihai said those words, Chen Wan felt extremely awkward, as if … Yes, it was as though everything was under Ji Lihai's control. He even knew what he was thinking!
The unease in Chen Wan's heart became even stronger.
”A person in the martial arts world cannot help himself.” Ji Lihai let out a long sigh and shook his head, ”This saying sounds very ordinary, but once you step into the martial arts world, you will know that there is helplessness contained within this saying! ”If I go back dozens of years, I will never step into the martial arts world again!”
Chen Wan said, ”You regret it?”
Ji Lihai smiled noncommittally and replied, ”Actually, it's not regret. It's just that the older you are, the more you understand something. In the end, a person's strength is limited.”
Chen Wan was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at Ji Lihai and immediately picked it up.
Very soon, Chen Wan's expression slightly changed. After hanging up, she walked over to Ji Lihai and said, ”Master, we're going to a place, please.”
Ji Lihai shook his head and laughed. ”Was it an order from your superior?”
Chen Wan nodded honestly, ”Yes.”
”Who gave you the order to let him talk to me personally? I'm all alone here, not going anywhere.” Ji Lihai said.
”Master, don't make things difficult for me.” Chen Wan said.
Ji Lihai shook his head. ”If I were to go with you, that would truly be making things difficult for you. Chen Wan, do you really think that if you capture me, the entire Bamboo Gang will fall under your control? With you controlling me here, the situation will not change much before the news gets out. However, once I leave, no matter how strong you are, you won't be able to completely control the situation! ”
Chen Wan choked. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and walked out with her phone. Clearly, she was going to make a call to report the situation.
Ji Lihai acted as if he didn't see it at all and closed his eyes to rest.
… ….
When a few cars sped past on the street, the people outside didn't know that at this moment, the people inside were all carrying weapons. Even Yao Zhijian and company had loaded the bullets and opened the safety, ready to fire at any time.
”Ji Feng, why are you going directly to the manor? What if Chen Wan isn't there? ” Ji Yu couldn't help but ask.
”If Chen Wan isn't there, then your father will be in danger.” Ji Feng said, ”Or... We are in danger! ”
Ji Yu was startled. For a moment, he didn't understand what Ji Feng meant.
Ji Feng shook his head, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Whether or not Ji Lihai had partic.i.p.ated in this operation, or what role he had played in it, Ji Feng could not be certain for the time being.
However, if there really was the shadow of Ji Lihai amongst them, then he would have to re-establish his understanding of Ji Lihai. To be able to be so ruthless as to kill his own daughter, this was not something an ordinary formidable person could do.
And if Ji Lihai hadn't partic.i.p.ated, then he would've definitely been controlled.
”He secretly arranged for people to rescue Ji Yu, how can he guarantee that he can save Ji Yu?” Ji Feng pondered in his heart. He felt that the possibility of Ji Lihai partic.i.p.ating in this matter was very small.
However, Ji Feng didn't let down his guard. Regardless of whether or not Ji Lihai partic.i.p.ated, he would always place Ji Lihai as someone who needed to be on guard.
”Young miss, we're almost there.”
Chen Xuedong's voice was heard. ”Do you need to drive directly into the manor?”
