Chapter 3475: Can't You Tell She's For Real?
Second Elder was bitter inside, but he still had to put on his own attitude. "I know, so don't worry."
Qiao Nian had to return to the hospital. She took out her cell phone and saw no missing calls or messages. It was obvious that Ji Lingfeng was not out of danger yet.
She called He Lin out and told him what to do next.
The Righteousness Hall burst into an uproar the moment Qiao Nian left.
"Second Elder, why did you..." Someone couldn't hold back his temper.
Second Elder controlled his temper when facing Qiao Nian, but he wasn't as good-tempered with them. He waved his hand and turned around. "Can't you tell she came intending to kill?" The Ji family was nothing.
His status as an elder was nothing.
He knew very well that if he had not been so cooperative, Qiao Nian would have chopped a finger of his.
Ji Hongyuan was an example.
Qiao Nian might not take his life directly, but there were many ways to torture someone. Taking their life immediately was one of the stupidest ways.
He wanted to take advantage of the Patriarch's illness to rise in status, but on the premise that he could enjoy this glory.
Qiao Nian had gotten someone to bring the people from the Third Southern Hall.
However, he forgot that the people from the Tongji Society who had also been to the pier had yet to be found.
Besides Continent F, Qiao Nian also had the support of the First Research Institute.
Most importantly, she had the boss of Bright Gate, who could not be underestimated in the independent continent, behind her.
Second Elder's temples throbbed as he thought this through.
He had planned for a few days and even delayed the Patriarch from finding out about the pier. He had paid a considerable price, but in the end, he did not get anything and instead had to give in to others.
It would be a lie to say he was not upset.
His chest felt stuffy.
However, he was a smart person. He knew whom he could play tricks on and whom he had better be honest with.
Therefore, he briefly adjusted his mood and said to Ji Nan, "Young Master Nan, you just have to cooperate with me when I call the remaining elders and people from the halls."
"I understand." Ji Nan could tell Second Elder did not take him seriously at all. His attitude towards him was completely different from his attitude towards Qiao Nian.
He feared Qiao Nian, but he seemed to look down on him.
The kind of contempt, that he did not take him seriously.
Ji Nan knew he would face this treatment when he chose not to come into contact with the family's affairs back then. However, he had never expected that when he faced these things, it was when his father fell due to illness and these people stepped on his and his mother's heads... He suddenly regretted his decision back then.
Just like today.
If not for Qiao Nian, he might not have been able to suppress Second Elder and the others. These people might turn into a deadly knife and stab his father in the chest, but he as the son was watching from the side and could not do anything!
During this period, this deep sense of powerlessness was everywhere. Ji Nan seriously reflected on his previous choices...

"Miss Qiao, why don't you stay here and wait for Young Master Nan to deal with matters before leaving?" He Lin looked at her carefully.
The girl leaned against the wall and propped up her legs as she nonchalantly said, "Why should I stay? Do you really want me to take over the Ji family?"
"But..."
He Lin opened his mouth and looked at the girl, revealing too much information in his eyes.
Everyone hoped that Miss Qiao would take over the Ji family.
Qiao Nian was irritated by his gaze for no reason. She sized him up. "I never said I wanted to take over the Ji family."
