Chapter 729
Perhaps because he felt embarra*sed to see Ji Feng, Xiang Yongzhan automatically filtered out even Ji Shaolei’s ‘big brother’ and didn’t put on a cold face like he did before.
Of course, if it wasn’t for the fact that Ji Shao Lei was pursuing Xiang Yurou, with Xiang Yongzhan’s status, even if his rank was no longer high, he wouldn’t have that qualification to put on a face with Ji Shao Lei, the old man of the Xiang family is no longer around, while the old man of the Ji family is still in good health, if we are serious about comparing, the Ji family is still slightly better.
It is only because of the strategy adopted by the Ji family in recent years, which has always been to fight with the Xiang family for good, while fighting with the He family in secret, that the position of the Xiang family has been maintained.
If not, even if the Xiang family were more powerful, it would never be able to be on an equal footing with the Ji family.
Of course, these issues are no longer the focus now, the most important thing is that Ji Shaolei is about to marry Xiang Yurou, the relationship and nature of the two families will be further changed.
Although marriage is not something that can determine everything in such a big family, but after all, there is such a name here, others have to consider the relationship between the two families when they do things, even if the marriage is just a formality, it still has its meaning in it.
The corners of Xiang Yongzhan’s mouth twitched as he watched Ji Shaolei leave with a big smile, but he still didn’t say anything.
Ji Feng frowned at him and said, “Grand Duke Xiang, the waiting period you mentioned is really not a short time, almost a few months have pa*sed before and after, but you haven’t made a single move? I don’t believe that the efficiency of your Special Combat Brigade is that low.”
He hesitated for a moment before nodding, “Ji Feng, I know you will definitely misunderstand, but there are some things that cannot be explained over the phone, and I have been considering whether I should tell you about this matter, so I have been dragging my feet. This is my fault and I definitely won’t deny it. However, I asked you to come here today, but I still hope you can do me a favour!”
“And ask me for a favour?” Ji Feng spread his hands and said, “I’m sorry, Grand Duke Xiang, how can I say it now, I’m also considered half a businessman, and I won’t interfere in matters that don’t have benefits indiscriminately. Besides, even if there is an advantage, that also depends on whether I have that ability to help!”
Xiang Yongzhan had expected this kind of reaction from Ji Feng, if he didn’t get what he wanted, Ji Feng would never nod his head, and for Ji Feng’s character, Xiang Yongzhan more or less understood it.
He nodded and said, “Alright then, you come with me.”
Ji Feng raised his eyebrows and followed anyway.
Under Xiang Yongzhan’s leadership, the two of them arrived at the bas*ment of one of the military district’s heavily guarded buildings. Ji Feng recognized this place, where the senior reformer and his two companions had been locked up after they were captured in the first place.
The area of this bas*ment was not small, even larger than the area of the building on the ground, and there was much more space.
In fact, because many things in the military area were kept secret, the buildings in the military area were also much lower than those in the city. For example, this building, although not small in size, was only six storeys in height. And the bas*ment of this building, looking at the indication of the underground lift, was actually on the negative fourteenth floor!
This meant that the bas*ment downstairs was, surprisingly, a full fourteen floors. When he first captured that senior reformer, because the situation was rather urgent and it was at night, so Ji Feng didn’t look closely, but now that he saw this, he was instantly astonished.
There was a lot going on in this military area.
He thought that even if half of the people entered the building, they would definitely not be able to get anything useful. Ji Feng was sure that at most, there were some civilian staff working upstairs, and those army leaders were just pretending to be in it, but the real confidential things were definitely in the bas*ment.
It was much harder to get into this bas*ment, all the way here, Ji Feng saw that there were fifteen or sixteen barriers alone, moreover, each level had to be punched and scanned for fingerprints and irises, very strict.
Xiang Yongzhan brought himself in and had to undergo strict registration. Just this kind of strict guarding made people feel weak in their hearts.
Ji Feng carefully calculated that if he wanted to sneak in, it would be easy to come in without the drawings, but it would be much harder, I should say almost impossible, to not alert the guards at the barrier.
If it was a building on the ground, it would be easier, but this underground building, even the exit was still unknown to Ji Feng, there was simply no way to start!
“Dang!”
The sound of the lift stopping sounded and Xiang Yongzhan said, “Ji Feng, we’re here, follow me!”
The fifth underground floor!
Ji Feng swept a glance at the lift and didn’t say anything, he just followed him out of the lift, then he took a few quick steps down the corridor and arrived at one of the offices.
Although it was underground, one actually didn’t feel suffocated or depressed at all inside, the space on each of its floors was far more spacious than that on the upper floors, and the lighting was so bright that it didn’t look like being underground at all, but rather like entering a spacious and bright stadium.
Ji Feng observed slightly for a few moments, then came to the office, sat down under Xiang Yongzhan’s gesture, and casually lit a cigarette.
“No smoking underground!” Xiang Yongzhan said.
Ji Feng was stunned, and immediately just wanted to put out the cigarette, when he stopped Xiang Yongzhan suddenly said again, “But this is my private office, it’s still okay to smoke here, but the doors and windows should be tightly closed, and you have to smoke by the sink.”
Saying that, Xiang Yongzhan casually brought a washbasin from the side and placed it in front of Ji Feng, “This will comply with the rules!”
Ji Feng hummed and still didn’t say anything. Now he was waiting for Xiang Yongzhan to speak first, after all, he hadn’t given himself half a word for several months, Xiang Yongzhan should know that he was in the wrong.
Sure enough, after a moment of deliberation, Xiang Yongzhan spoke. Only, his first words took Ji Feng by surprise.
“Ji Feng, you might not know that the three reformers we caught before are all dead.” Xiang Yongzhan suddenly said.
Ji Feng was stunned, “What did you say? All three are dead?”
“That’s right, and it was less than a month after we caught them, and they died.” Xiang Yongzhan laughed bitterly, “With their deaths, things instantly became tricky ……”
“You wait a moment!” Ji Feng interrupted him and asked with a frown, “Grand Duke Xiang, you’re not kidding me, are you? After capturing them, didn’t you already have the biological bombs in their bodies under control?”
Ji Feng clearly remembered that at that time, except for that senior reformer, the remaining two guys, the biological bombs inside their bodies were taken out, only that senior reformer, because of the special part of the biological bomb inside his body, so a special method was taken to control it, in this case, how could they still be allowed to die?
“It’s true that they were controlled, but, they still died!” Xiang Yongzhan stretched his hands.
“How did they die?!” Ji Feng asked with a frown.
“Starved to death!” Xiang Yongzhan laughed bitterly, “The way to prepare it, it should be because their bodies lacked nutrition and energy, so they just starved to death alive!”
“What the hell?” Ji Feng almost didn’t want to believe his ears, he looked at Xiang Yongzhan in amazement, “…… Starved to death?! Grand Duke Xiang, didn’t you give them anything to eat? I don’t know how important these three people are!”
“If they could eat and be fine, it would really be fine!” Xiang Yongzhan looked very distressed, “You are unaware that when ordinary times reached their stomachs, it did nothing at all, so our technicians guessed that their body structure might have changed, and took their blood for laboratory tests, while giving them first injections of our own developed nutritional fluid to barely keep them alive in the first place. ”
“And then what happened? They died?” Ji Feng asked with a frown.
“That’s right, those three guys died before we could figure out what to do.” Xiang Yongzhan shook his head helplessly and said, “According to one of the transformers, the things they used to eat were not ordinary times, but a special liquid that was combined with the special food developed by the dynasty to keep their bodies from going wrong.”
“This means that those transformed people can’t actually be considered human anymore, they don’t even eat the same food we normally eat …… That’s ironic, actually being starved to death!” Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head, feeling rather incredulous, “Then they didn’t bring some of their unique ‘food’ with them when they came out on their mission?”
“Of course they did, but unfortunately, our side had only just tested the ingredients and hadn’t even studied how their food was configured, and these three people starved to death alive!” Xiang Yongzhan said.
“It’s really pitiful that they don’t fall into your hands, although these three guys live like humans and ghosts, but after all, they still have life, and when they have food to eat, they can be alive and well.” Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh, “But after falling into your hands, they were actually starved to death, it’s so wrong!”
Xiang Yongzhan glared at him without good humor, “You kid don’t say cool words either, you said that what you developed …… The special effect current you developed is so effective for ordinary warriors, how come it’s not useful at all for these transformers?”
“Can you blame this on me too?” Ji Feng lost his smile and said, “Xiang Yongzhan, if you have something to say, just say it, no need to pressure me in the future, I have a clear conscience.”
Xiang Yongzhan’s intentions, Ji Feng saw at a glance, the three guys starved to death of responsibility, let himself also share some, and then open his mouth to say things, it will be much better …… The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money from the internet. The actual fact is that you can not help but secretly slander.
Chapter 730
“Alright!”
Once Ji Feng saw through his intentions, Xiang Yongzhan couldn’t help but smile and rub his head, in fact, he didn’t intend to use this matter to put pressure on Ji Feng, after all, those three guys starving to death really had nothing to do with Ji Feng at all. The reason why Xiang Yongzhan had to say this was actually just to steer the conversation to the aspect he wanted to talk about, that was all.
“It’s because these three guys starved to death so quickly that we haven’t had time to make any preparations, let alone get any useful information from their mouths, therefore, the progress of the investigation at a later stage has not been very smooth, plus there are people in it who are constantly obstructing, making it difficult for our side, in these few months, although some progress has been made, it is still far from our expectations, there is still a big gap.”
Xiang Yongzhan couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “Moreover, although our investigation has made some headway, the results of the investigation are somewhat beyond our expectations, and of course, this is one of the reasons for not telling you.”
“What results?” Ji Feng frowned and asked, “…… It wouldn’t have anything to do with me, would it?”
“Although not hit, it’s not far off.” Xiang Yongzhan tugged a rare text, he deliberated for a moment before saying, “I think there are some things you already know, such as the Royal Club of Yanjing and other things, in fact, these above have known for a long time, just never moved, just to find the director there, but, that director is very cunning, and there are several understudies, before there is no complete certainty, the above I didn’t do anything.”
“I do know something about this, the Royal Club could be a stronghold of the dynasty!” Ji Feng said with a nod.
When he first received a call from his cousin Ji Xiaoyu and rushed to the Royal Club in Yanjing, it was said that Cozy had been kidnapped by a few foreigners and one of them was able to take off his arm …… Ji Feng was there and found the lubricant and other liquids used by the reformers, so he could be sure that the Royal Club must have a deep relationship with Dynasty.
“In fact, the results of our investigation at this stage, the spearhead also points to the Royal Clubhouse!” Xiang Yongzhan said, “Since the destruction of Western Xia, this place seems to have cooled off somewhat, and many of the customers who used to enjoy spending money here have rarely come in recent months …… Of course, these anomalies are sure to be there, as long as this is really a dynasty stronghold.”
Ji Feng nodded slightly and did not interject again, but listened quietly.
“However, it was only when we cooperated with the intelligence department above to investigate that we discovered that there was actually a special character in this clubhouse – Qiao Rong!” Xiang Yongzhan said.
“You said Qiao Rong?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but be slightly stunned before he nodded, “That’s right, she was there at the Royal Club, and I even clashed with her a bit at the time, but I thought at the time that she was also here to spend money, but I didn’t think …… Is that why you didn’t inform me in time because of Qiao Rong?”
He suddenly reacted, no wonder Xiang Yongzhan had just said that the matter was related to himself, if it was really because of Qiao Rong, Xiang Yongzhan would definitely have had scruples, not only could he not tell himself first, but instead he had to pa*s the news to the top, after all, who in the whole Yanjing, I’m afraid there was no one who didn’t know that the old man of his own family was protecting the Qiao family!
“That’s right!” Xiang Yongzhan nodded frankly, “We found that some of Qiao Rong’s behavior was also suspicious, so ……”
For this point, Ji Feng was not much surprised, that crazy woman, not to mention joining the dynasty organization, even if one day someone suddenly told Ji Feng that it turned out that Qiao Rong was not from Earth, her hometown was from Mars!
If someone really said that, Ji Feng would definitely not be half surprised, this woman is really not like a normal person, she is crazier than anyone else, and Ji Feng also knows very well that this woman’s hatred for herself is definitely not something that can be described with words, if such a person doesn’t do something, Ji Feng would only find it strange!
“The supervisor you just said ……” Ji Feng pondered slightly, “Qiao Rong shouldn’t be that supervisor, right?”
Xiang Yongzhan slowly shook his head and said, “Of course not, according to our understanding, she joined later, and her purpose ……”
Speaking here, Xiang Yongzhan gave Ji Feng an odd glance before saying, “If I’m not wrong, her purpose for joining the dynasty is most likely to use the dynasty’s level of extraordinary technology to heal her son Qiao Gakai, or perhaps, she also has the intention of using the dynasty’s power to deal with you ……”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but laugh dumbly, nodded his head and said, “It seems that this matter was really facilitated by me, which is my sin.”
Ji Feng knew very well how much damage the bio-current in his body would cause once he used it to attack others, just like the first time he used bio-current to fight with Qiao Gakai’s master brother Tian Guodong and others, since then, that guy was lying in the hospital for several months, I heard that in the end, it was only when the experts from the Xuan Yin Sect came to Yanjing that those people were cured.
Imagine being in that big hospital for several months and the doctors were at their wits’ end, it was enough to see how terrifying the bio-current was.
Then Qiao Gakai and the two elders of the Xuan Yin Sect sneaked into Jiangzhou and tried to make a secret move against themselves, only to be preempted by themselves, Qiao Gakai was seriously injured, and until now there has been no news of him getting up again, so I guess he is still bedridden!
If Qiao Rong had joined the Dynasty because she wanted to cure her son and hated herself to the bone, that would be the most reasonable explanation.
Otherwise, what reason would Qiao Rong, as a member of the Yanjing Qiao family, have to join an organisation that hid in the dark? It was impossible that Qiao Rong would not know how serious the nature of this matter really was.
Of course, Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile, with Qiao Rong’s crazy nature, she might really be able to do something that others could hardly understand, perhaps she really joined Dynasty because of her personal interest, it was also possible!
“Actually, that’s just my guess, but there’s no proof either.” Xiang Yongzhan laughed.
Ji Feng just nodded and smiled, but it was clear in his heart that if he didn’t have complete certainty, Xiang Yongzhan wouldn’t have been so credulous, after all, the involvement of this matter could not **** forced Qiao Rong, the focal point of the Qiao family, to have no place to stay and was finally forced to join the Dynasty organization, although this was not a crime, however, it could also leave an extremely bad impression on the top.
“Just how capable and domineering are you, Ji Feng, to force away someone from a big family?” That was certainly the first impression people from above would have after hearing about this matter.
“The people from the Ji family are a bit too domineering!”
“This time it was the Qiao family that was dealt with, so which family will be dealt with next?”
All of these views were certainly possible, and they were often very unfavourable to the Ji family.
Therefore, if he did not have complete certainty, Xiang Yongzhan naturally did not dare to speak indiscriminately.
The only thing is, Ji Feng doesn’t care about this, what kind of person Qiao Rong is, the grudge between Qiao family and Ji family, I think there must be many other people who know about it, those people will at most only make an issue of this matter, other than that, they can’t bring any substantial harm to the Ji family.
And what Ji Feng should do, he still has to do. Doing anything that others would have a different opinion on, you can’t just stop doing anything because you’re afraid of what others might think, right?
“Alright, let’s leave the matter of Qiao Rong aside for now.” Ji Feng shook his head slightly and changed the topic away from Qiao Rong, “How did you guys treat the Royal Club?”
“We didn’t touch the people at the Royal Club, we just conducted a close surveillance!” Xiang Yongzhan said, “In addition, for those members of the Royal Club, they all found the opportunity to have a private conversation …… But no contact was made with Qiao Rong.”
Ji Feng nodded slightly and asked again, “What are the gains?”
“Their people were prepared, the combatants have all moved on, that supervisor has also disappeared, the Royal Club, now there is only a Qiao Rong and some insignificant people from the dynasty left holding the fort!” Xiang Yongzhan shook his head and laughed, “This time, Qiao Rong is kind of taking the blame for others, I’m afraid she’s also in a frenzy right now!”
“Transferred?”
Ji Feng didn’t gloat over Qiao Rong’s embarra*sing situation, he was just surprised and asked, “Didn’t you guys keep a close watch? How could you still let them move?”
“We were monitoring it in conjunction with the intelligence department above, before we deployed it, there was no movement at all in the Royal Club, and only later did we learn that at that time, apart from some insignificant personnel in the club, the rest, were all doubles!” Xiang Yongzhan shook his head slightly, “I have to admit, we were fooled by them! I believe they sensed something was wrong even before the intelligence department above conducted surveillance, so they probably withdrew long ago.”
“Really ……”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head slightly and cursed, “A bunch of idiots!”
Xiang Yongzhan raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly, “Ji Feng, you’re not right, the other side had sensed it long ago, besides the previous order from above was only to monitor, not to act, when our side started to act, but found out that people had already completed their actions …… This is caused by a number of factors, not that I want to shirk responsibility, I have never shirked responsibility when I made a mistake to Yongzheng!”
“I only asked for the results, but now you are giving me an answer that is not at all certain, those people moved, where did they move to? Are they still within China and when will they launch their attack? You didn’t say any of these things!” When Ji Feng heard this, he was instantly fired up, what he cared about was not who had joined the dynasty, let alone who had done what.
