Chapter 3450: Emperor Ji Responds

Editor: Atlas Studios

“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…”

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.
