Chapter 545 - Escape
Until New Year"s Eve, Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong followed behind Third Uncle Ji Zhenping to visit some of the elders. The elders of the Ji Clan were not the only ones who had done this. The majority of them had been seniors from other factions as well.Although they all had their own opinions on the matter, their goals and ideals might not be the same. However, at this time of year, he still had to take care of the things on the surface.
Furthermore, even if the factions were different, it was only in a big way. There might be many factions that had a good personal relations.h.i.+p with each other. Being different didn"t mean they couldn"t be friends!Ji Feng had spent the last two days with his Third Uncle to visit the elders and figure out what was going on. No one would ever tell him that. They all knew it, but they all knew it.
Because he had visited the seniors of the other factions, Ji Feng was able to tell that some factions seemed to be cooperating with each other, while others were actually hostile towards each other.Of course, during the whole process of this visit, only Third Uncle Ji Zhenping and the three Ji brothers were present. Although Ji Zhenghua and Ji Zhenguo would also pay a visit to the elders and elders of the other factions, with their status, it would definitely not be convenient for them to do such a thing.
It was finally New Year"s Eve, and the three brothers finally had time to sit down and take a breath. The three of them were holed up in the old man"s courtyard, watching the endless stream of people coming to visit."This year is really breaking me down!" Ji Shalei could not help but shake his head slightly when he heard the sounds of people talking in the courtyard. He said with a helpless expression, "I say, aren"t the two of you annoyed?"
Ji Shaodong laughed. "You just have a restless personality. If the old man finds out, I"ll have to talk about you again!"Ji Feng was lying on the sofa beside him, holding a newspaper in his hand and reading it over and over again.
"San-er, what are you looking at? This newspaper is full of nonsense, you sure read it with enthusiasm! " Ji Shaorei s.n.a.t.c.hed the newspaper from Ji Feng"s hands and casually threw it on the tea table, "Do you believe this kind of small paper that is sold by the side of the road?!"
Ji Feng immediately laughed, "I bought this newspaper on the side of the road... But your writing is really quite good. It"s really fascinating! "This was a military newspaper, the kind that was sold by the roadside for a dollar each. Ji Feng had just read something about a new fighter jet from Ah San that was said to be able to reach the level of generation after generation, saying that he could be considered a hero in Asia... Ji Feng was enjoying the show.
Ji Shaodong laughed. "It"s just a tabloid. It"s enough to attract attention. As for whether the contents of the newspaper are believable or not, that"s not their concern.""Then why don"t you, the father and mother of the people, take care of it?" Ji Shalei asked with a chuckle.
"Those people just want to get a life, there are many big tigers that haven"t been killed yet, why are you looking for trouble with them?!" Ji Shaodong smiled and took a sip from his teacup. "It"s just a matter of face. There"s no point in trying to get rid of the tumor. That"s the most important thing!"
"These words of yours are a bit of a violation of the rules!" Ji Shalei chuckled.
Ji Shaodong waved his hand. "There is nothing illegal about it. If you don"t even dare to face your own problem, then there is no cure …"
In fact, Ji Shaodong only saw the three brothers together, so he spoke a little more casually. Naturally, he wouldn"t easily say such things outside. It was easy for others to catch on.
"I say, aren"t you bored here? Why don"t we go out and have a drink? " Ji Shalei was someone who could not sit still. Having held back here for the entire morning, he was no longer able to hold it in.
Ji Feng laughed, "Second brother, the old man told us to wait here. If any elders appear, we have to go out to meet them.""It"s fine, it"s fine. It"s always like this every year. I"m already sick of it!" Ji Shaorei curled her lips and threw her slippers to the side. She put on the army shoes he had obtained from Third Uncle Ji Zhenping and smiled. "Eldest Brother, San-er, don"t say that I"m not taking care of you guys. I"m going out to drink now. Are you guys going?"
Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong looked at each other and shook their heads. "No!"
Ji Shaolei helplessly sat down. "I say, you two are really too boring. What"s so good about being here? We still have to eat together tonight, and people from the branch are still coming. Everyone is in a bad mood, so we shouldn"t take this opportunity to have a drink or two.
Ji Feng laughed, "Second brother, it is not impossible for us to leave the city, but there is a problem that needs to be solved first... If the elders blame us, who do you think will resist? "
"What?!"
Ji Shalei immediately opened his eyes wide, and looked at Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong with extreme dissatisfaction. He said indignantly, "I was wondering what the two of you were doing here, I thought you two liked it here. You want me to take the blame? You don"t have to do this, right?! "
Ji Shaodong laughed. "That"s all we have left. It would be great to say that we still can"t do it!""Alright!" How can it not be possible!? " Ji Shalei said through gritted teeth, "After all, it would be better to be scolded by father or Eldest Uncle than to see those people come. Cheers!"
Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong looked at each other and smiled evilly. "Let"s go!"
The three of them quickly put on their shoes, tidied up their clothes, and stealthily slipped out.
"You three, what are you doing!" Suddenly, a voice sounded, startling the three of them.
However, when the three of them saw the owner of the voice, they immediately heaved a sigh of relief. The one who spoke was none other than the old man"s personal medical staff — Aunt Hong!
"Three little brats trying to slip away again?" Aunt Hong glared at Ji Feng and the other two and said, "I"ll tell you all, don"t make the old head angry anymore. Otherwise, I won"t forgive you. Do you remember?!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ji Shaolei and Aunt Hong"s relations.h.i.+p was the best. He chuckled and said, "Aunt Hong, don"t worry. The old man will definitely not be angry. Who knows, maybe we can go out now as expected." "Well, we"re just going out to use the toilet. We"re just going in and out. We"re just going in and out..."
As he said this, he gave Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong a meaningful glance. The three of them immediately fled away.
Looking at the backs of the three, Aunt Hong could not help but shake her head and laugh, "These three brats... The old chief has three wise sons, and three outstanding grandchildren.
… ….
To accompany two grown men out was perhaps the most regretful decision of Ji Shalei in this lifetime. Not only did he overestimate the interest of Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong in entertainment, he also underestimated the spending power of the citizens of Beijing!
From the moment they left the courtyard and entered the bustling city district, Ji Shaolei and the other two began to search aimlessly. In the end, they realized that the bars and restaurants on the streets were all full. They were either booked in advance for a New Year"s Eve meal, or they were being used by others...
As for those clubhouses and high-end leisure areas, Ji Feng and the other two didn"t want to go there. Instead, they just wanted to go out and drink.Thus, Ji Shaoru and his group could only drive aimlessly along the streets in search of a vacant seat.
"I find it a terrible mistake to come out with you two!"
While driving, Ji Shaorei took two deep puffs and humphed, "If you go out with two beauties, even if you can"t find a restaurant to eat, you can still take a stroll or go for a ride. "Tsk tsk!"
Ji Shaodong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, but Ji Feng snorted. "I say, Second Brother, do you want me to tell Yurou these words?!""..." Ji Shalei immediately fell silent. After a long moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, it"s best if something doesn"t fall into my hands. Otherwise, let"s see how I"ll take care of you!"
Ji Feng burst into laughter, "Second brother, just you wait, let"s see when I will have a weakness... "Huh?" There seems to be a roadside stall in front of us.
"A roadside stall?!" Ji Shaorei nodded. "I guess that"s the only way. Boss, what do you think?"
"I have no requests, you can do as you wis.h.!.+" Ji Shaodong laughed.
"His older brother, we drove a BMW here to eat at a roadside stall. Will he be scolded?" Ji Shaorei sneered, "Why do I feel like driving a BMW to get a secure home? Is this what it means to have nothing better to do? "
Ji Feng laughed, "Then, are you going? If you don"t go, then Big Brother and I will go! "
"Go!" "Why not?!" Ji Shaorei harrumphed and muttered to himself, "I wonder what it means that the two of them are so lucky that they have to wear the same pair of pants …"Sure enough, even though the three of them had parked their car on the side of the street, as soon as they entered the big tent, they immediately attracted quite a few people"s attention.
It was for no other reason but because Ji Feng and the other two were simply too eye-catching. Regardless of their attire or their temperament, they didn"t seem like they would come to a food stall to eat."Yi?!" At this time, Ji Feng suddenly realized that there were two people on the street who looked very familiar, "... It"s them?! "
These two were no other than the two siblings, Zhou Fei Fei Fei and Zhou s.h.i.+ Lin, whom they had met at the Yan Jing restaurant a few days ago.
