Chapter 1001 Hongmen dining
This was simply touching Ji Xiaohan’s reverse scale. If he really dared to think like this, he definitely wouldn’t be able to live for long.
However, the people he had sent to spy on Ji Lin hadn’t received any news. Ji Lin’s recent actions seemed to be normal and there wasn’t any warning sign that he was going to cause trouble.
However, since he had this thought, Ji Xiaohan had to warn him once. Therefore, he decided to treat Ji Lin to a meal.
This meal was at noon on the second day. He called Ji Lin in the morning, and on the phone, the uncle and nephew duo didn’t lose decorum, so their way of speaking was pretty polite.
Even though Ji Xiaohan set up a Hongmen Banquet, Ji Lin still had to brace himself and come to challenge it. Because, if he didn’t come, then it would mean that he was not confident. According to Ji Lin’s character, he would not show any weakness to his opponent before the outcome was decided.
Ji Xiaohan was also sure that Ji Lin would come. He was such a conceited person, how could he retreat?
At eleven-thirty in the afternoon, Ji Lin arrived.
Ji Xiaohan invited him alone, so, in the entire room, only Ji Xiaohan was sitting in front of the table.
In front of the huge dining table, the man had a completely relaxed demeanor. He wore a black suit with a black shirt, and his eyes were sharp and cold as he stared at the wine cup in his hand, seemingly sizing it up but also seemed to be deep in thought.
Ji Xiaohan’s attire already gave people a sense of oppression. It was too formal, yet it also had a mysterious feeling, making people unable to see through it.
When Ji Lin walked in, he was suppressed by the atmosphere created by Ji Xiaohan to the point that he was unable to breathe.
He hadn’t thought that his nephew would suddenly come to suppress him like a king with an overbearing aura.
"Uncle, please sit!" Ji Xiaohan waited until he came in before pretending to see him. Then, he put down the cup in his hand and smiled, which was neither cold nor hot.
The way Ji Xiaohan smirked made people feel the cold winter air.
Ji Lin forcefully suppressed his uneasiness. He picked a chair and sat down. He also showed a faint smile and said, "Aiya, Xiaohan, I really didn’t expect that we two, uncle and nephew, would have the chance to sit down and eat a meal. How rare."
"Indeed, I didn’t expect that either!" Since there were no outsiders around, Ji Xiaohan was too lazy to pretend to be nice to him. Seeing that Ji Xiaohan didn’t have any intention of pouring tea for him, he could only pour a cup for himself and taste it: "Good tea!"
Ji Xiaohan knew he was trying to lighten the atmosphere, so he smiled coldly: "What has Uncle been busy with recently? It seems to be very busy. "
It’s not like you, who have to manage the entire Ji Family. Every day, you have to take care of a myriad of affairs, and uncle really does feel sorry for you. Young people should live a young life, and every day, they would have to deal with such lifeless information. Ji Lin revealed some information intentionally or not. However, Ji Xiaohan didn’t take it seriously at all.
"I was born with no hobbies, and my only hobby is work. I appreciate Uncle’s good intentions." Ji Xiaohan was in a dilemma as he replied, while the light in his eyes became even colder.
Ji Lin couldn’t help but bite his lips. Although he hated Ye Zichen greatly, he couldn’t show it on his face at all.
"What kind of business is Uncle busy with? Is there anything I can help you with?" If you need my help, just open your mouth. " Ji Xiaohan continued to question him.
"I don’t dare to trouble you. Did you invite me here today just to care about me?" Ji Lin didn’t dare to let Ji Xiaohan interfere in any of his matters. Thus, he directly refused Ji Xiaohan’s good intentions.
Ji Xiaohan said lightly: "I just want to care about you. Uncle must have suffered a lot in prison!"
Ji Lin’s face changed as he sneered in his heart. Ji Xiaohan’s fake concern was too obvious.
"It is indeed very difficult to stay in prison. The hardest part is the lack of freedom. Those kind of damned places aren’t meant for humans." Ji Lin mocked and complained. He took a cup and drank a mouthful of tea.
"So Uncle must hate that place. He probably doesn’t want to go back there anymore, right?" Ji Xiaohan’s gaze suddenly sank. What he said was also very piercing.
Ji Lin’s expression froze. He suddenly turned his head and stared at Ji Xiaohan: "What do you mean by that?"
"Nothing interesting. I just hope that Uncle can change his mind and turn over a new leaf. This kind of opportunity isn’t present every day." Ji Xiaohan looked straight into his eyes, his gaze was full of warning.
"Heh, you finally revealed your true face. Ji Xiaohan, do you know who you’re talking to? "When I turned the tables in the mall, you weren’t even born. Are you threatening me now?" Ji Lin immediately slammed the table and stood up, anger written all over his face.
Ji Xiaohan saw that he was angry, so he just smiled and said: "Uncle, don’t be agitated. I’m not threatening you, I’m just reminding you. After all, I’m your nephew, I don’t want you to take the wrong path."
"Heh, you really are a good nephew. If my dead brother saw that you were so capable, he would probably rest in peace." Ji Lin was also frightened by his own words and actions just now. Before he could fully grasp the power of Ji Family, it was not appropriate for him to directly clash with Ji Xiaohan. He had no chance of wi
ing, much less being confident.
Sure enough, at the mention of the dead Ji Nan, Ji Xiaohan’s face immediately became unsightly, and his voice became even colder: "My dad died in unknown circumstances, how can he rest in peace?" Perhaps he is waiting for me, his son, to seek justice for him. "
Ji Lin’s expression instantly changed and he laughed: "Isn’t it easy for you to avenge your dad? I’ll just let Bai Zhenzhen pay with her life. She has already turned herself in at the police station, so why is there no judgment yet? They say that you are decisive in your actions, but to think that you would drag your feet in this matter. This doesn’t seem like your style! "
"I just want to wait a little longer. Maybe, more truths will surface. Although Bai Zhenzhen turned herself in, I still don’t believe that a woman would dare to kill someone. Furthermore, my dad treated her so well all those years ago, so unless there’s something wrong with her mind, she wouldn’t kill my dad." Ji Xiaohan didn’t directly target him, he only voiced out his doubts and created a false impression that Ji Lin still had his doubts.
