The second elder and the others were originally ready to compromise, but then they heard a noise outside, and then they learned that someone had been sent to the hospital.
A few old foxes changed their attitude.
When He Lin went to see them again after handling the sealing matter, the second elder and the others changed their pale faces from before and stated forcefully that there was a misunderstanding. They would not deal with the people in Third Hall for the time being and asked to see Ji Lingfeng to explain to Ji Lingfeng face to face.
But Ji Lingfeng was still in the operating room of the hospital.
Of course, He Lin couldn't let them explain to Ji Lingfeng face to face.
As a result, the situation reached a deadlock.
The second elder and the others were not in a hurry. They sat on the red sandalwood chairs in the Juyi Hall, drinking tea and urging He Lin to report to Ji Lingfeng quickly.
He Linming knew that these people were deliberately making things difficult. He had probably discovered that the patriarch was feeling unwell and had gone to the hospital, but there was nothing he could do about these people.
After a brief stalemate.
He Lin was preparing to use the clan rules to force these elders to face the betrayal of Sandangkou's alliance with outsiders.
Just at this time.
Someone trotted in from outside and whispered in his ear about Qiao Nian and Ji Nan's arrival.
"What?" He Lin was surprised and happy. Looking at the second elder and others, he felt more confident: "I'll go to the door right away."
As he spoke, he left everyone in the room and ran out.
The second elder vaguely felt that things might develop in a direction that he was unwilling to face.
Someone has already said it first: "Who is coming? It can't be the patriarch? The patriarch is back from the hospital?"
"Not the patriarch."
The second elder hasn't figured it out yet, but he knows in his heart that everything Ji Lingfeng did shows that he is seriously ill, and it is unlikely to be Ji Lingfeng.
"That is?"
Everyone is looking at him.
The second elder calmed down, frowned, and said uncertainly, "Maybe it's Young Master Nan."
"oh."
The elders calmed down, and the contempt in their eyes and brows showed that they, old foxes, did not take Ji Nan seriously at all.
It is true that Ji Nan has not officially followed Ji Lingfeng to intervene in the family's affairs in these years. It is obviously unreasonable to temporarily want to take over the Ji family and suppress them.
Even if Xie Yun comes with him, they may not take it seriously.
There was only one person they were afraid of from beginning to end - Ji Lingfeng.
This is also the direct lineage of the Ji family.
However, just when a few people thought it was Ji Nan who came, there were messy footsteps outside, and it sounded like there was more than one person.
The second elder and others waited with bated breath for Ji Nan to appear.
Among the people who came into view was Ji Nan, and beside Ji Nan was indeed followed by He Lin, who had just left them and ran out.
But these are not the point.
Who can tell them why—Qiao Nian is here?!
The second elder's body instinct drove him to stand up from his seat. Before Qiao Nian could speak, his own momentum had dropped by half.
"you……"
The girl passed him by and went straight to where Ji Lingfeng usually sat and sat down. Her carefree demeanor did not change, but her eyes were as sharp as a knife falling on him.
"I heard that the second elder wants to guarantee those people in the third hall?"
The muscles on the second elder's face were tense, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to argue: "We don't have enough evidence to prove that those people betrayed the family..."
Qiao Nian was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. He threw the lighter in his hand on the table with a bang and raised his eyes to look at him: "What guarantee are you going to give, just with your mouth?"
The second elder was rendered speechless by her aggressive momentum and had no choice but to answer: "How do you want me to guarantee you?"
