Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 884 - 877: Not Touched, and I Don’t Owe You
Ji Jingfeng narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "Did they have any prior relationship?"
"I don’t know." The man shook his head, glanced at Ji Jingfeng, then said cautiously, "Lu Youtian is famous in the legal world, known as the Hua Tuo who can bring the dead back to life. Any case that seemed impossible to win, if he handled it, there wasn’t a single one that didn’t succeed."
His reminder made Ji Jingfeng irritated, "All the evidence is ironclad, I just don’t believe Lu Youtian is really that damn good."
The middle-aged man kept his head down, not daring to say anything more.
Ji Jingfeng looked at him and then changed the subject, "Have there been any updates from the people over in L City?" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The man replied, "Urus just infiltrated the Charles family, but no news has come through yet. As for the restricted area in the Charles family’s backyard, it seems no one in the Charles family knows what’s really in there."
"Investigate." Ji Jingfeng gritted his teeth, wearing a ferocious expression, "Even though the media likes to chase after rumors, there has to be some smoke for them to catch. Charles must be colluding with the military, and that restricted area might well be where he hides his arms. We must get evidence of that old bastard’s crimes, hold him by the throat and see how he dares to be arrogant with me."
He intended to eliminate any obstacles that hindered his ascent to power, leaving no threat unchecked.
The middle-aged man nodded, "Understood."
Ji Jingfeng asked no more questions. He leaned down, opened a fingerprint-locked drawer under his desk, took out a document, tossed it on the table, and told the middle-aged man, "Deliver this to Yang Danning first thing tomorrow."
The document was wrapped in a green cover. He glanced at it and darkly curled his lips.
...
"Let me, let me."
Xiang Yiqing watched as Xin Xiaoxiao snatched his cup and eagerly went to fill it with water, triggering another headache for him.
"If you want anything done, just let me know. I’m your assistant, your maid now," Xin Xiaoxiao said as she returned with a cup of water, eyeing Xiang Yiqing.
Very obsequious.
For the first time, he encountered someone who made his head hurt so much. Xiang Yiqing rubbed his temples and, when Xin Xiaoxiao approached, spoke warmly, "Miss Xin, I made the call for you. Lu Dazhuang is currently traveling with his wife and doesn’t have time."
Xin Xiaoxiao pouted, "I know you just weren’t sincere enough. If you try harder, you’ll definitely get him."
She put down the cup, leaned against the corner of the table, faced Xiang Yiqing, lowered her head, and pouted even more, "Although I think Ji Chicheng, that man, is quite pretentious, I still trust him. He wouldn’t have sent me to find you without reason."
Young Master Xiang internally roared, "Ji Chicheng, this isn’t over between us."
Xin Xiaoxiao continued, glancing at Xiang Yiqing pitifully, "I’m not joking with you. Although my family’s old man hardly took care of me since childhood, leaving me to fend for myself, and he constantly physically betrayed my poor departed mother, he’s still my dad. The money he earns is for me to spend, and he never brought a woman or an illegitimate child home to compete with me for the family fortune. I can’t just leave him be."
Her words prompted Xiang Yiqing to imagine what her life was like growing up.
Growing up without a mom, with a dad who didn’t care, money was never a worry, but she never experienced any motherly or fatherly love.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with such examples around him. It seemed... quite pitiable.
(I just want to say: Some people just dig their own graves, daring to target my dashing old man... It’s the end of the month; there should be new monthly tickets, rolling around and acting cute to beg...)
