Chapter 700 - Lighting upLast 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!
Although the Zheng Family was not as powerful as the Ji Family, they were still a powerful family. As long as it didn"t hurt the Zheng Family"s foundation, they wouldn"t fall.
It would be better to use this matter to fight for some benefits than to be vexed over the lack of evidence.
It was because of this that Ji Feng had intentionally sent the news of him capturing the killer through Zheng Yuanshan. He had gone to find Zheng Yuanshan for this purpose.
He believed that Zheng Yuanshan understood this point, but Ji Feng did not care about the details.Ji Feng"s goal was to let the Zheng Clan know that he already had concrete evidence in his possession, and that he was still interrogating them and searching for evidence. He wanted to make the Zheng Clan anxious, to make them uneasy, but Ji Feng didn"t do anything.
"Are you trying to give the Zheng Family the illusion that you can touch them at any time, and then take the initiative and take advantage of them?" Ji Zhenhua asked.
"En!"
Ji Feng nodded, "That"s what I thought! "Dad, what do you think about me doing this?"
"How is it?"
Ji Zhenhua replied, "There"s nothing good left now. The entire Yan Jing city already knows about this, and it"s already spreading like wildfire. If you just want to get something good, you can just lift your hand and do it." "However, if you want revenge in the future, you"ll have to consider it. If you attack the Zheng Family after reaping the rewards, we"ll be the ones at fault!"
"The entire city knows?" Ji Feng was stunned, "Isn"t this news spreading way too fast? Who spread it? ""Humph!" There is no wall in this world that doesn"t let the wind pa.s.s through! " Ji Zhenhua was not surprised by this situation. He had seen a lot of things in his life, and even the slightest movement could be seen through by him. "Those who spread this news must be interested!"
Once the war broke out between the Zheng Family and the Ji Family, the Zheng Family would definitely be at a disadvantage.
However, now that everyone was paying attention to this matter, even if the Ji Clan was angry, even if they were the parties with reason, they still had to restrain themselves.
Some people didn"t want the Ji Clan to reap too much benefits!
"Dad, I understand what you mean. Look, I"ll leave the rest of the matters to you to worry about!" Ji Feng said. He didn"t want to be involved in these matters. He just needed to focus on how it worked and how it worked. Ji Feng didn"t want to get involved. With his father around, he could do whatever he wanted."You stinking brat!" He paused for a moment, then continued, "Little Feng, if you"re tired outside, come home or go to your second uncle. You"re not alone, your father is behind you, and your mother is also thinking about you!"
"... "Hm!"
Ji Feng nodded his head vigorously and said, "Dad, I"ll remember it!"
"Then let"s do it like this first!" Ji Zhenhua did not say anything more and hung up the phone.
Strictly speaking, his father was definitely a strict father. However, because Ji Feng had already grown up when the father and son had first met, and because Ji Zhenhua had been wandering outside for more than ten years, he had suffered together with his mother. That was why Ji Zhenhua felt guilty and loved Ji Feng so dearly.
However, Ji Zhenhua"s personality was decisive. Even when facing his son, he didn"t say much. As long as he had the gist of it, everything would be fine.
This was a completely different personality from his mother, Xiao Sumei!But at the same time, they truly cared for Ji Feng. This was the place where Ji Feng felt the warmest.
Ji Feng naturally understood his father"s meaning.
According to Ji Feng"s plan, he wanted the Zheng Clan to be in a state of tension at all times, to make them feel guilty. In that case, as long as the Ji Clan launched an attack, the Zheng Clan would subconsciously yield, and their strength would be further suppressed.
For example, people in certain important locations could be replaced with seasonal troops.He might even be able to get one or two strategic positions from the Zheng Family — for example, being the secretary of the provincial government, or being the governor of a province!
Ji Zhenhua said that under the current circ.u.mstances, it wouldn"t be difficult for the Ji Clan to obtain these benefits. However, once the Zheng Clan gave up these benefits, it would be the end of the matter.
In that case, if Ji Feng were to attack the Zheng Clan in the future to avenge him, he would be in the wrong.
After all, this matter was already concluded. If you were to use your old debts to attack others, it would be a bit suspicious. This was not good.
Regarding these, Ji Feng didn"t really care about it.
In truth, Ji Feng also knew that his father was very satisfied with the way he handled this matter. His father"s only anger lay in his inability to avenge his son!
However, to Ji Feng, whether he would be able to exact his revenge immediately wasn"t too important.Because he was still young, he had plenty of time in the future. However, Zheng Yuanhe was older than him by an entire generation. There were many opportunities to take revenge!
What"s more, was this matter really done for?Ji Feng laughed coldly. Of course not!
