After the end of the year, when the holidays were over, it was normal for them to work in different directions.
In the new year, Ji Lin was determined to accomplish a big task and he didn"t have much time left. While Ji Xiaohan was waiting for a chance to take care of him, he was also looking for an opportunity to turn the tide and win.
Because, when the old man closes his eyes, Ji Xiaohan"s method of taking care of him will be even more ruthless.
He didn"t dare to use his ident.i.ty as an elder to gain Ji Xiaohan"s respect. Ji Xiaohan would probably want to completely trample on him.
While Ji Lin was thinking about how to suppress Ji Xiaohan, he was also afraid of something else.
Once his big brother Ji Nan"s death was investigated by Ji Xiaohan, then Ji Xiaohan would definitely not even give him a chance to live.
Therefore, Ji Lin had to think of a way out for himself, and this road definitely could not be a dead end.
To completely suppress that old case from more than ten years ago, he had to get rid of one person.
That person was none other than Bai Zhenzhen, the person he had let go of in a moment of soft-heartedness.
Previously, he wanted to get rid of Bai Zhenzhen as well, and he even brought a gun with him to meet her.
However, Bai Zhenzhen"s face resembled the woman he loved very much. Knowing that he was going to silence her, she knelt down and begged him.
Ji Lin had always been cruel and merciless. However, when he saw the face of his beloved, his heart softened. He let Bai Zhenzhen go and warned her harshly.
Bai Zhenzhen also swore to the heavens that she would definitely keep this a secret for the rest of her life and wouldn"t make things difficult for him.
Ji Lin didn"t know if Ji Xiaohan had investigated Bai Zhenzhen, but the person who spied on her said that she seemed to have disappeared recently and couldn"t be reached no matter what.
Ji Lin had to be on high alert. Ji Xiaohan covered the sky with one hand. Now that the company had stabilized, he would definitely find time to investigate his father"s accident.
Ji Lin suspected that Ji Xiaohan must have looked for Bai Zhenzhen before. Bai Zhenzhen was timid, so maybe she hid herself first.
However, it was useless for him to just hide, he definitely wouldn"t cause any trouble for Ji Lin.
Therefore, he had to make her shut up completely before Ji Xiaohan caught her.
Ji Lin was troubled by this matter as he had secretly sent people to look for the whereabouts of Bai Zhenzhen.
However, this woman was very smart and cu
ing. If he let her go that year, she would have definitely left all sorts of escape routes for him.
He had been locked in jail for many years, so he rarely moved outside. The change in his country was shocking, so Ji Lin was truly a bit powerless.
In the end, he decided to turn to his son.
Ji Shangqing had already guessed what he did all those years ago. He was his father, so he would definitely save him.
"Bai Zhenzhen is the woman that hooked up with Eldest Uncle back then? I thought I"d taken care of her. " After Ji Shangqing heard his father"s request, he sneered. He felt that his father had let her go, as if he was leaving trouble for himself.
Ji Lin also gritted his teeth in regret: "It was my mistake not to kill her back then, but now, she can"t live anymore."
"Dad, why didn"t you kill her back then?" Ji Shangqing"s aggressive gaze made Ji Lin somewhat panicked.
"I feel that she will not betray me!" Ji Lin answered vaguely.
"No, she can take money to work for you, which means she"s not a good woman. Do you really believe that she"s that loyal?" Ji Shangqing laughed coldly.
Ji Lin frowned, he didn"t want to discuss this with his son.
"I know the reason. The reason why you didn"t kill her was because she had a face that you liked and a face that made you lose your mind. Indeed, it is true. This also proves that you have a deep affection for that woman. Ji Shangqing, however, did not give his father any face, and only paid attention to his sore spot.
Ji Lin"s face suddenly darkened, and said with dissatisfaction: "Even if that"s the reason, there"s no meaning in talking about it now. I might as well think of a way to get rid of her for me, once and for all!"
"I just don"t feel good for my mother!" Ji Shangqing suddenly growled: "You can let go of a woman who looks like that woman, but you didn"t let go of my mom!"
"Ji Shangqing!" Ji Lin roared, as if his pain had angered him.
Ji Shangqing"s gaze turned cold and he stopped talking.
Ji Lin also felt that his att.i.tude was too overbearing and sighed: "Shang Qing, let"s not talk about the past anymore, alright? "You have to think about it. How could you have come to this world without your mother and me?"
Ji Shangqing"s face turned pale and a hint of disgust flashed across his eyes.
"If I could choose my birth, do you think I would be willing to be your son?" Ji Shangqing finally couldn"t hold back his emotions and said something outrageous.
Ji Lin"s whole body was gone. He suddenly felt very tired and powerless to fight again. It was as if his age was approaching dusk and made people lose all will to fight.
"I"m sorry, I"m not a good father. Am I making you feel ashamed?" Ji Lin saw that his son looked like he had nothing to live for. He immediately sat down on the sofa and covered his face with his hands, apologizing.
"Do you have any leads on Bai Zhenzhen?" After a while, Ji Shangqing opened his mouth and spoke with a calm expression.
Ji Lin raised his head and looked at him. A hint of happiness flashed across his face: "Are you willing to help me now?"
"Otherwise? You are my father after all, so who else can I help? " Ji Shangqing laughed at himself.
Ji Lin immediately said, "Although I don"t know where Bai Zhenzhen is, I have a way to lure her out."
"Tell me about it?" Ji Shangqing raised his eyebrows.
A trace of ridicule flashed across Ji Lin"s mouth: "Bai Zhenzhen is not a simple woman. Previously, she was called Bai Liuyin. Moreover, I know she had a daughter."
"Is that so?" Ji Shangqing was not interested. He asked lightly: "Are you going to make a move against her daughter?"
"This is the only way to find her. As long as our daughter is in our hands, why wouldn"t she come knocking?" Ji Lin said proudly.
Ji Shangqing frowned, "Why isn"t this Bai Liuyin simple anymore? Is she greedy for money? "
That daughter of hers is her illegitimate daughter. After giving birth to her for two years, Bai Liuyin was arrested for drug abuse, so she pa.s.sed her daughter on to her sister. Others may not know about this, but I"ve investigated her and found out that her sister"s daughter was actually born.
"She still takes drugs? This woman has really gotten infected with all kinds of bad habits! " Ji Shangqing had a look of disdain.
"That"s right. When I found her, she was addicted to drugs and I took her to get her to help me." Ji Lin said lightly.
"Alright, let"s think of a way to tie her daughter up and see if she"ll take the bait." Ji Shangqing said lightly.
