The Hall Master and the others were not qualified to interrupt a conversation of this level, but most of them stood on the side of the protesting elders. They didnât approve of Ji Lingfengâs decision.
Ji Lingfeng didnât care about these objections at all. He resisted the pressure and leaned back on his seat, his gaze sharp and domineering. âIâve made up my mind!â
It was non-negotiable!
Fifth Elder didnât expect him to change so much. Slamming the table, he stood up and waved his hand. âIn that case, the Patriarch can make the decision alone. Iâm not feeling well. Iâll leave first.â
Among the elders of the Ji family, he was the only straightforward one.
He immediately turned around to leave.
Second Elder and Fourth Elderâs eyebrows twitched. They instinctively felt that something was about to happen and looked at the man sitting at the head of the table.
Sure enough, Ji Lingfeng glanced at the door leisurely. âHe Lin, please invite Fifth Elder to sit.â
âYes, Patriarch.â
The person who had been standing behind as a shadow put his hand in his mouth and whistled. Dozens of armed men in black suddenly appeared at the door, pointing black muzzles at everyone in the Righteousness Hall.
Besides them, snipers could barely be seen in the distance.
Long-range infrared lights appeared on the foreheads of the few main elders and hall masters. They were all aiming at their temples.
As long as Ji Lingfeng gave the order, they would all die here!
At this moment, He Lin arrived in front of Fifth Elder and bowed politely. âFifth Elder, please take a seat.â
Seeing the guns pointed at him, Fifth Elder momentarily froze. His face was tense as he returned to his seat without saying a word and pulled the chair until it made a scraping sound.
However, these sounds were no more shocking than the sudden appearance of these people at the door.
Under everyoneâs panicked gazes, Ji Lingfeng placed his hands on the table and said in the same negotiating tone, âI called everyone here today to discuss this matter. Since this matter hasnât been discussed, bear with it for now even if anyone feels unwell. If you really canât take it anymore, Iâve arranged for a doctor next door to examine you on the spot.â
Everyone present no longer dared to show their temper.
Given the current situation, they wouldnât be surprised even if Ji Lingfeng said he had arranged a funeral service for them next door.
Ji Lingfengâs gaze swept across the crowd and said domineeringly, âThen⦠shall we continue?â
Someone quietly took out his cell phone under the table and tried to contact the outside world.
However, this person immediately realized that his cell phoneâthe only thing they were allowed to bring inâdidnât have a signal. Besides arranging for these armed people, the Patriarch should have cut off the signal to the outside world.
The situation before them was already obvious.
Whether they were willing or not, they had to sit here and discuss the Patriarchâs proposal.
And there was only one outcomeâto hand the Ji family to Qiao Nian.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIs this how you act as the Patriarch?â Fifth Elderâs face darkened. He pulled a long face and said coldly, âEven if you have a candidate in mind, at least everyone is here to discuss. Our goal is for the good of the family, not for outsiders.â
These words couldnât be said to be harsh.
Ji Lingfeng had been the Patriarch all these years. Besides helping Ji Ziyin, he was basically gentle and respected the eldersâ opinions.
He was also willing to ask them for their opinions when he encountered some big matters.
This time, Ji Lingfengâs methods truly exceeded their expectations. This was also the reason why Fifth Elder was so angry.
