Chapter 107: Suspicious
On the way back, Ji Xiangyu first called Grandfather Ji’s assistant. The mobile phone kept going unanswered, which Ji Xiangyu found suspicious.
Qing Tian asked uneasily, “What happened?”
Ji Xiangyu raised his mobile phone and said, “The phone isn’t connecting. Uncle Wang’s phone is always on 24 hours a day. I don’t know why it’s not connecting today!”
Qing Tian frowned, feeling uneasy, as if something was about to happen. “Should we try again?”
Ji Xiangyu dialed again. The other end now showed “out of service area.” This made Ji Xiangyu even more doubtful. He then called Ji Weiwei’s mobile phone, which also showed “out of service area”!
What was going on today? Everyone’s mobile phone was out of service. Had something happened?
Sensing something was wrong, Ji Xiangyu sped towards the Ji Family Mansion. Not long after driving off, his phone rang. Qing Tian saw Ji Weiwei’s name displayed and her heart skipped a beat, intuitively feeling something bad was about to happen!
Ji Xiangyu pressed his Bluetooth earpiece and answered the call. A panting voice asked, “Brother Yu, what do you need me for?”
Ji Xiangyu got straight to the point and asked, “Where is Grandfather?”
Ji Weiwei’s tone carried a hint of pride. “Brother Yu, Grandfather’s condition has worsened, and he’s being transferred to Canada for surgery. He’s still comatose. Uncle and Aunt have already gone. Uncle told me not to worry! Stay home, Grandfather will be fine!”
Hearing Ji Weiwei’s words, Ji Xiangyu slammed on the emergency brake. The people in the car lurched forward due to inertia, then slammed back. While Qing Tian was still bewildered, she heard Ji Xiangyu exclaim excitedly.
Ji Xiangyu raised his voice and retorted, “Canada? Why wasn’t I informed that Grandfather was critically ill and being transferred to Canada!”
Ji Weiwei feigned a wronged tone and cried, “I just found out about this myself and rushed to the airport to see Grandfather off. You were so anxious to leave with Qing Tian, and now you have the nerve to question me? Brother Yu, don’t you like me that much?”
Ji Weiwei continued to nag on the other end of the line, and Ji Xiangyu directly hung up.
When the busy tone came through, Ji Weiwei was almost furious. She glared at the phone and said fiercely, “Qing Tian, you bitch, you won’t be happy for long! Hmph…”
Ji Xiangyu remained silent with a grim expression for about ten seconds before saying, “I’m sorry, Grandfather might not be able to help Xia Yang anymore. Grandfather is critically ill and has gone abroad for surgery, and he’s still comatose!”
Qing Tian’s heart sank. It really wasn’t that simple. She comforted Ji Xiangyu, “Don’t worry, Grandfather will be fine!”
She knew her words of comfort were powerless, but what else could she do? Xia Yang’s matter was still unresolved, and now Grandfather was critically ill. It was truly one problem after another, catching them completely off guard!
Song Shishi leaned over from the back seat and said, “What do we do now? Why can’t we do anything at this crucial moment? Is there no one else besides Grandfather Ji who can save Xia Yang?”
Huzi suddenly thought of someone and suggested, “It’s not that there’s no way. But if we have to ask Situ Haonan, only Young Master Ji can go?”
Song Shishi and Qing Tian asked in confusion, “Why?”
Huzi said vaguely, “You women don’t need to know. As long as Young Master Ji goes, Big Brother will be saved!!”
Everyone then turned their gazes to Ji Xiangyu. Ji Xiangyu’s expression was very conflicted, his eyebrows even furrowed together. Asking Uncle Situ wasn’t impossible, but would Uncle Situ agree easily?
However, this was the only option they had.
Qing Tian looked at Ji Xiangyu with concern and asked cautiously, “Is it very difficult? We can think of another way. I believe we can definitely save Xia Yang!”
Ji Xiangyu reached out and stroked Qing Tian’s head, forcing a smile. “Yes, everything will be fine. Don’t worry, I’m here!”
Afterward, Ji Xiangyu drove Qing Tian and Song Shishi home, leaving only Huzi behind!
The two sat in the car. After a long silence, Ji Xiangyu finally asked, “Have you found out who framed Xia Yang?”
Huzi shook his head and roared angrily, “I don’t know which bastard dared to lay a hand on Big Brother. And it seems they have a lot of evidence!”
Ji Xiangyu remained silent. If someone wanted to frame Xia Yang, it must have been meticulously planned. Xia Yang had so many enemies. Finding the mastermind was like searching for a needle in a haystack!
Ji Xiangyu unlocked the rear door and said, “You should go back first. Gather a few brothers and scout the scene. See if there are any CCTV cameras. We might find a way out!”
Huzi opened the car door, ready to get out. He paused for a few seconds before saying unnaturally, “Young Master Ji, thank you for saving my Big Brother!”
Ji Xiangyu raised an eyebrow. “I’m not doing it to save Xia Yang, I’m doing it for Qing Tian!”
Huzi gave an awkward smile and still thanked him, “Thank you! Bai!”
After Huzi left, Ji Xiangyu waited at the spot for a long time before finally dialing a number!
A deep voice answered, “Nephew, why do you have time to call me!?”
Ji Xiangyu said coldly, “Uncle Situ, do you have time to meet?”
Situ Haonan chuckled heartily, “Is it about your grandfather’s matter?”
Ji Xiangyu said hurriedly, “Uncle Situ, let’s talk when we meet!”
Situ Haonan: “Alright, wait for me in a private room at the hotel!”
After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiangyu made a 360-degree turn and sped towards the destination, Shen Ting Yuan Grand Hotel!
