Madam's Identities Shocks the Entire City Again

Chapter 3450: Emperor Ji Responds



"Patriarch..." Second Elder frowned and wanted to say something else.

Ji Lingfeng did not give them a chance to stall for time. He picked up the office line beside his hand and called He Lin. "Where are you?"

"Patriarch, are you done?" He Lin looked at the people entering and exiting the warehouse to count the goods and replied. "The warehouse is on fire. I'm here dealing with it."

Ji Lingfeng's eyes turned cold as he glanced at Second Elder and the rest. "The warehouse is on fire?"

He Lin didn't know that Ji Lingfeng had not left the study yet. "Ah, the exact reason is still being investigated. Someone must have deliberately set fire to it.

"I'm taking stock of the losses. It shouldn't be big."

Ji Lingfeng's tone was as cold as ice. "Heh, looks like I'm half dead in the eyes of some people."

Second Elder and the others were so shocked that they stiffened and a layer of cold sweat broke out on their backs.

The breathing in the study became lighter.

Second Elder even had a faint thought of regret. He felt that he had been too impulsive and should have used a wait-and-see approach.

He shouldn't have agreed to help the Third Southern Hall and the Tongji Society so impulsively.

Ji Lingfeng asked He Lin to come over and hung up.

Second Elder watched as he put down the receiver and opened his mouth. "Patriarch, I..."

"We'll talk about it when He Lin arrives." Ji Lingfeng suppressed his anger and did not let him talk.

He Lin received urgent news as he was rushing over.

"Patriarch, bad news. Over at the docks..."

He rushed into the study and realized that Second Elder and the others were still there. All of them were fidgeting uneasily.

He Lin was stunned for a moment, as if he had not realized why these people hadn't left yet.

Ji Lingfeng's face darkened. "What's wrong at the docks?"

He remembered.

A batch of goods was arriving from Continent F today. The people in charge of the docks would collect the goods and store them in the warehouse.

From the looks of it, something had happened there.

Ji Lingfeng was a member of the Ji family. Even if he was not Nie Qingru's son, he had inherited Ji Wusun's genes and his intelligence was not low.

He immediately connected the cause and effect. Looking at Second Elder and the others, his eyes were already filled with killing intent.

Second Elder had complained endlessly.

However, he could no longer stop them now that things had come to this point. He only hoped that the people from the Tongji Society would work hard and steal the goods.

This way, if someone stood out, it would definitely weaken the Patriarch's control over the family. He could still fight the Patriarch.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Otherwise, since he had already been implicated today, he probably wouldn't be able to settle things peacefully.

"There was an explosion at the pier. My men found that the Third Southern Hall and the Tongji Society have been in contact recently. It's possible that they... want to intercept the goods."

"Very good!" Ji Lingfeng pressed his temples, his eyes suddenly burning with anger as a fake smile graced his face. "Looks like I'm already a dead person in your eyes."

He Lin knew his physical condition. "Patriarch, don't be angry."

Ji Lingfeng took a deep breath and stood up. "Didn't you say that someone set the fire?"

"... Uh, yes." He Lin didn't know why he mentioned this. Wasn't the situation at the docks more serious now?

Ji Lingfeng made a prompt decision. "Lock down the old residence. No one is allowed to leave without my orders!"

Second Elder and the others trembled. "Patriarch..."

They had brought a few people with them this time, but this was Ji Lingfeng's territory, after all. They wouldn't be enough if both sides shed all pretense of cordiality.
