Chapter 877
“Little Feng, Shao Lei, we brothers haven’t seen each other for a long time.” At the wine table, Ji Shao Hong held a gla*s of wine with a warm smile on his face, “Come, let’s have a drink together as brothers!”
“Come, come, let’s all have a drink together!” Ji Shaojun also said with a smile.
Ji Feng smiled faintly and also lifted his gla*s of wine, tilting his head and drinking it down.
The banquet had already started, and it was the same as before, with the elders sitting at one table, a few distinguished third-generation sons and daughters, including Ji Feng, sitting at one table over here, and the others having their respective places to sit.
In fact, the number of people at Ji Feng’s table was probably the smallest, only six, namely Ji Shaodong, Ji Shaolei and Ji Feng, as well as Ji Shaohong, Ji Shaojun and Ji Shaoyou. Three from the first line and three from the side line, these were the six most outstanding people in the third generation of the Ji family’s children.
Of course, strictly speaking, they should be the most outstanding five.
Ji Shaoyou, on the other hand, was a standard fop, not doing his job all day long, not to mention a distinguished son, but even an ordinary son.
However, there is one thing that the other sons cannot compare with, this guy has a good brother, namely Ji Shao Hong.
This is also the reason why Ji Shaoyou was able to sit at this table. Of course, there was another reason, that is, Ji Shaohong purposely called his brother over, as for what he called him over for, Ji Feng and the others did not ask.
Since they couldn’t see eye to eye, they just ignored him directly. Even if they didn’t give him face, they always had to give Ji Shao Hong face.
“One more!” Ji Shao Hong once again lifted his gla*s of wine, and the others followed suit and drank it all.
The wine pa*sed three rounds before everyone stopped for a while, eating their food and talking at the same time.
“Little Feng, here I want to apologise and make amends to you.” Putting down his chopsticks, Ji Shaohong said with a serious expression on his face, “Ji Shaoyou, this B*****d, offended Auntie in the past and spoke out of turn, please understand ah.”
Ji Feng was slightly stunned, this was all how long ago, Ji Shao Hong actually brought it up again now and apologized?
“Third brother, this is all in the past, brothers don’t talk about this between themselves, right?” Ji Feng said with a smile, even though he didn’t know what Ji Shaojun was up to, Ji Feng decided not to move first and see what happened.
And while he called Ji Shao Hong third brother, there was a reason for it. If it was just according to the ranking of the direct line, then he was the third oldest, but if it was according to the whole Ji family, Ji Shao Hong and Ji Shao Lei actually had the same birthday in the same year, and Ji Shao Lei was only a few days older than Ji Shao Hong.
So, Ji Shao Hong should be the third in line, while Ji Shao Jun is the fourth. Speaking of which, Ji Feng is the youngest one and should be the sixth, even Ji Shaoyou is older than him!
Hearing Ji Feng call himself Third Brother, Ji Shao Hong’s face instantly revealed a bright smile as he nodded and said, “It’s rare that you are so magnanimous, Third Brother admires you, come, let’s drink one between us!”
“Sure, I’ll drink to third brother!” Ji Feng also lifted his gla*s and said with a smile.
Next to him, Ji Shaodong but Ji Shaolei glanced at each other without a trace, both seeing the doubt in each other’s eyes. Today’s Ji Shao Hong was a bit abnormal. Normally, although he had a gentle and elegant look, he was not that calm-minded towards them, his direct descendants, what was wrong with him today?
Ji Feng also found that Ji Shaohong is more or less abnormal today, is there something in between ……
However, until the end of the banquet, Ji Shaohong is so enthusiastic, look at that look, with the previous but greatly different, but there is no explanation.
……
“You guys say, what is wrong with Ji Shao Hong?” After the banquet was over, Ji Shaolei and the three of them drove back, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Ji Feng shook his head and said, “I don’t know.”
“I think that it might have something to do with this period of experience.”
Ji Shao Dong said with deliberation, “The work at the local level down there is actually very complicated and can sometimes be a headache, moreover, if you don’t rely on your family history, it might be very difficult to start work and you might even encounter sniping by various means. Shao Hong is probably open-minded because he’s experienced more down there.”
“I hope that’s the case!” Ji Shaolei said.
“My guess is that Shao Hong is encountering difficulties down there, and moreover, the difficulties might not be small!” Ji Shaodong guessed.
“Well, there is that possibility!” Ji Feng nodded, “The more difficulties one encounters outside, the more one can feel that family members are the best, in fact, what direct lineage and what side lineage, aren’t they all still people of the Ji family, if Ji Shao Hong can think clearly, then naturally it would be the best.”
“That’s right, that’s the best!” Ji Shaodong nodded, “It looks like we should also take the time to get in touch with Ji Shaohong to see if he’s really having difficulties down there.”
“I say you two shouldn’t worry about that idle worry, don’t you see? Although Ji Shao Hong’s tone has become very polite and he doesn’t have that arrogant stance anymore, however, he hasn’t really put down his stance and his mentality hasn’t completely changed.”
Ji Shaolei laughed, “When he truly recognises himself clearly, you guys can then take care of it.”
Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong shook their heads and smiled at the same time, the two of them still agreed with Ji Shaolei’s words in their hearts, Ji Shaohong’s act of showing goodwill like this might not be out of sincerity, it was most likely forced by the situation, in which case, it would also be necessary to wait a little longer.
Of course, both of them also understood that this should be a good opportunity to close the distance between the first and the second line.
“Third child, I think this matter needs to be taken seriously.” Ji Shaodong weighed his words, “How about this, take some time, we will go and meet Shao Hong together, we are all family members, if there is anything, it is still easy to talk about it.”
“No problem!” Ji Feng said with a nod.
“Hey! Ji Shaohong is also the boss over there, if he can be as dignified and responsible as our boss, how could the old man not focus on training him?” Ji Shaolei said, “He, ah, is not broad-minded enough yet.”
“Cut the crap!” Ji Shaodong said.
Ji Shaolei smiled heatedly and said no more.
Ji Feng, however, felt that what his second brother said was very reasonable.
If the bosses were all vindictive and had eyes smaller than the eye of a needle, then there would really be no point in being a boss.
The first thing you need to do is to have a good sense of style and poise, which Ji Feng admires.
In the following days, Ji Feng was busy.
It was New Year’s Eve, and Ji Zhenhua had to be busy, while Ji Feng and Ji Shaodong and others, however, were also busy. Now Ji Shaodong could gradually walk into the eyes of some heavyweights in the Ji Department, and at this time, the manners that should be there must be there.
Therefore, Ji Shaodong took Ji Feng and Ji Shaolei, as well as several brothers such as Ji Shaohong, to go to the homes of those elders to pay their respects, which was also the most basic courtesy.
It was also during this trip around to pay their respects that Ji Feng and the others had time to ask about Ji Shao Hong’s situation.
As expected!
Ji Shao Hong was really in trouble.
However, Ji Shaohong did not explicitly say what the matter was, he only said that he could sit down with Ji Shaodong sometime to exchange experiences.
The meaning of this is very clear, he wants to ask Ji Shao Dong for advice, but face is a bit too much, so he used such a euphemism.
For Ji Shao Hong’s trouble, Ji Feng is also very interested, what he lacks most now is insight and experience, it is not a bad thing to hear more and see more.
However, the plan to sit down and talk was disrupted by a sudden phone call.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, after a week’s holiday, Xiao’s Pharmaceutical Factory officially resumed work. Xu Yuan got up early and prepared to hold a meeting with all department heads to set up the work for the new year.
However, she waited for a long time, but all the other department heads came, but Kang Yuan, the head of the R&D department, was late in showing up.
Xu Yuan immediately ordered someone to call Kang Yuan, but Kang Yuan’s phone was unanswered, and his home phone, however, was on the line.
“Manager Guo, please ask someone to go to Kang’s home to check on him, he hasn’t come to work! We can’t reach him either!” Xu Yuan said.
“Okay!”
Guo Tao immediately nodded and said, “I’ll personally go to Kang Gong’s home to take a look.”
And at this time, Guo Tao’s phone suddenly rang, he frowned slightly, but still picked up the phone, “This is Guo Tao!”
“Manager, some police officers have come to our pharmaceutical factory’s dormitory and are waiting to take Kang Gong!” The call was from one of the security guards at the staff dormitory, “Their attitude is very tough, we can’t stop them, what do you think we should do?”
“You tell the police, I’ll rush over immediately.” Guo Tao hung up the phone and whispered a few words to Xu Yuan.
Swish!
Xu Yuan stood up at once and said, “Go! Go check it out!”
The other department heads couldn’t help but be puzzled, but without Xu Yuan’s orders, they could only be secretly puzzled, but didn’t talk too much about it.
When Xu Yuan and Guo Tao rushed to the entrance of the staff dormitory compound, they only saw two security guards, otherwise, no one was seen.
“What’s going on, where’s Kang Gong?” Guo Tao immediately asked.
“Manager, general manager, Kang Gong he, he was just taken away by some police officers, we couldn’t stop him.” A security guard said.
Guo Tao immediately said, “Where are they from? Which precinct? Or from the city bureau?”
“They didn’t answer at all, they just said that the police were working on a case, and then they just took them away!” A security guard said, “I saw that their documents were genuine, so I couldn’t forcefully stop them!”
“B*****d!”
Guo Tao’s face instantly sank, “Kang Gong is one of our factory people, whoever wants to take him away has to say hello to us! You two …… I’ll settle the score with you guys later!”
He turned his head and said, “Mr. Xu, I think we need to inform Mr. Ji immediately!”
“That’s right!” Xu Yuan immediately nodded, “I’ll make the call.”
While at this time, Ji Feng had already received a call from Kang Yuan’s wife, Ji Yinhong.
“Little Feng, your aunt father has been arrested by the police!” Ji Yinhong said with some panic, “I can tell that those are not ordinary police officers!”
Chapter 878
Swish!
The cold light in Ji Feng’s eyes flickered fiercely as he asked incredulously, “Aunt Hong, what did you just say? Auntie was taken away by the police?”
“Yes, we had just had breakfast in the morning and your aunt was just about to go to work when a few police officers came to the door, saying that there was a case for your aunt to a*sist in the investigation, and then they took the person away without even letting him wear a jacket ah.” Ji Yinhong’s tone seemed flustered, “Little Feng, I could tell that those weren’t ordinary police officers, they were very special!”
“Very special?”
Ji Feng repeated subconsciously and asked, “Aunt Hong, has he been involved in some case recently?”
In his opinion, the special policemen that Aunt Hong spoke of should be different from ordinary policemen, perhaps armed policemen? Special police? Or maybe other police officers?
And to send out such police officers, that meant that things might not be ordinary, which made Ji Feng a bit puzzled, according to Kang Yuan’s temper and character, he should not be involved in any big cases, ah, how could he be taken away by the police?
“Little Feng, you still don’t know your aunt father, he is a nerd, this whole Spring Festival, he has been soaking in the laboratory of the pharmaceutical factory, or just going home, other than that, he didn’t go anywhere!” Ji Yinhong said helplessly, “Even your cousin’s parent-teacher conference, I was the one who went there, how do you think, he got involved in the case?”
“Aunt father’s character is, indeed, a bit introverted ……” Ji Feng nodded slightly, but a bad feeling rose up in his heart, since Kang Yuan didn’t have time to go out, then why was he taken away by the police?
“Hong Aunt, when those police officers took away aunt father, did they say where they were from? Why did they take away auntie?” Ji Feng asked.
“He didn’t say, he just flashed his papers and claimed to be a police officer.” Ji Yinhong said anxiously, “When I asked them where they were from, they didn’t tell me either, they just said that your aunt was involved in the case and had to be taken away for questioning, but refused to say anything else. Little Feng, do you think your aunt father he, is he being framed?”
“Aunt Hong, don’t worry first, I’ll check on my side first to see what kind of things aunt father is involved in.” Ji Feng said, “Don’t worry, there will definitely be no problem, as long as aunt father hasn’t committed any crime, then no one can wrongly accuse him, just don’t worry!”
“Hey, hey!”
Ji Yinhong still had great trust in Ji Feng, she couldn’t help but nod slightly, “Little Feng, I’m counting on you for everything, I don’t know my way around Jiangzhou, I don’t even have a place to ask around, so I have to rely on you.”
“Don’t worry, Aunt Hong, I promise you, as long as Aunt Father hasn’t done anything wrong, then no one can do anything to him.” Ji Feng snorted coldly.
“Hey hey!” Ji Yinhong’s flustered mood calmed down somewhat.
Ji Feng pondered a little and added, “Aunt Hong, don’t tell cousin brother and sister about aunt father yet, if they ask, just say that aunt father is working late in the lab or that I sent him out on a business trip.”
“This I know, Little Feng, you must save your aunt father!” Ji Yinhong said.
“Please don’t worry, Aunt Hong, I’ll go check it out!” Ji Feng said.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Feng couldn’t help but shake his head slightly, one thing after another, it was really one wave after another.
“Ding ……”
Ji Feng had just hung up Ji Yinhong’s phone when his phone rang, it was Guo Tao calling.
“Boss, something happened at the pharmaceutical factory, Kang Gong was taken away by the police who didn’t know where he came from.” As soon as he picked up the phone, Guo Tao’s voice came through, “The other party was very arrogant, they didn’t even greet us, they didn’t even report where they came from, they just took the person away straight away like that.”
“I already know, just now Kang Gong’s family called me.” Ji Feng said, then asked, “What’s the disposition on your side?”
“General Manager Xu has personally gone to Kang Gong’s home, ready to pacify Kang Gong’s family first, I sent a reliable person behind to chase those police officers, but they’ve been gone for a while, I don’t know if they can still catch up.” Guo Tao said.
“We must catch up!”
Ji Feng immediately said forcefully, “Although our pharmaceutical factory is a private unit, however, we can’t say that the head of the R&D department was taken away and we don’t even know who actually took it away, for anyone in the pharmaceutical factory, we have to be responsible!”
“Okay, we will do our best, but, boss, is your side also set up, I think this thing is a bit abnormal ah!” Guo Tao said.
Ji Feng sneered: “More than perverse, it’s simply …… The best thing is to chase them down, in case they have bad intentions, we will be able to rescue them in time.”
“Yes!” Guo Tao immediately answered loudly.
After closing the line, Ji Feng held his chin in one hand and couldn’t help but frown to himself, “What exactly is the other party’s origin ……”
It is obvious that Kang Yuan should not be involved in any case, and now a police officer has taken him away, which is really strange.
What’s more, a few days ago it was people from the Drug Administration who came to mess up the pharmaceutical factory, and now it’s the police, this is too much of a coincidence, so Ji Feng couldn’t help but make an a*sociation, could this be the same group of people behind the trouble?
He showed a pensive expression, then took out his mobile phone and called Zheng Yuanshan, the deputy director of Jiangzhou Municipal Bureau, who was the only one he could count on nowadays.
“Little Feng?”
When he received Ji Feng’s call, Zheng Yuanshan looked a little surprised.
“Uncle Zheng, good New Year, I pay you New Year’s greetings!” Ji Feng said with a smile.
“Hehe ……” Zheng Yuansan burst out laughing, “Little Feng, you’re not just calling this number to pay me New Year’s greetings, right? Say it, what is it?”
Ji Feng couldn’t help but smile slightly, in fact, according to the reasonable words, even for the sake of Zhang Lei’s face, he should pay a New Year’s greeting to Zheng Yuanshan, but according to the results of contacting Zhang Lei a few days ago, Zheng Yuanshan did not return to Yanjing, but was still in Jiangzhou, therefore, Ji Feng also just went to pay a New Year’s greeting to Zhang Lei’s father, Tong Kai De.
Of course, as to why Zheng Yuanshan did not come to Yanjing, Ji Feng knew more or less, only that what he knew was not too clear, and the reason for this was really incomprehensible in a few words.
These thoughts flashed quickly in Ji Feng’s mind, and he shook his head slightly, every family has a difficult lesson to learn.
“Uncle Zheng, is this, Xiao’s pharmaceutical factory’s R & D department head, is also my aunt Kang Yuan, this morning suddenly was taken away by the police, said to be involved in what case inside, but those police who came, also did not say they are from which branch, also did not say what case, this is not, my aunt are anxious to cry …… ”
Ji Feng briefly told the matter, before saying: “Uncle Zheng, I suspect that things are not that simple, recently there is a group of people who do not know what origin, has been intent on the pharmaceutical factory, and now this set of …… Uncle Zheng, this still needs to trouble you ah.”
Someone wants to deal with the Ji family’s Xiaoz?
Zheng Yuanshan couldn’t help but feel a shock in his heart when he heard Ji Feng finish speaking, it looked like things might have gone beyond control.
The relationship between Xiao’s pharmaceutical factory and Ji Feng was clear to Zheng Yuansan. And at this moment, the head of the pharmaceutical factory’s R&D department was taken away by the police, moreover, this head was also Ji Feng’s aunt, if it really wasn’t that head who had committed a crime, it should be someone spoiling for Ji Feng to come.
After deliberating for a moment, Zheng Yuanshan said, “Little Feng, then what are you going to do?”
“It’s simple, I’m going to report to you that someone has kidnapped my aunt Kang Yuan!”
Ji Feng had a plan long ago, and he immediately said, “Chief Zheng, I request that you immediately set up checkpoints along the roads, focusing on checking vehicles on the main roads and important traffic junctions, and don’t spare police cars. At the same time, please ask Chief Zheng if he is asking around to the various sub-bureaux below to see if they did it, of course, this is just my request, please also ask Chief Zheng to consider it at his discretion!”
Ji Feng was very polite when he spoke, saying ‘request’ in one breath and in a very polite tone. It was a fact that Zheng Yuansan had a close relationship with the Ji family. However, now that we were talking about business, Ji Feng was not in the system after all, he was not qualified to give orders to Zheng Yuansan and could only use a requesting tone.
This was, on the one hand, a sign of respect for Zheng Yuansan, and on the other hand, it was also a gesture that one should have as a grandson of the third generation of the Ji family’s eldest family.
No matter how honourable your status is, you are only relying on the shade of your elders, you should know the rules, or you must do it.
As expected, as soon as Ji Feng finished speaking, Zheng Yuanshan immediately agreed with alacrity, “No problem, Little Feng, our police will definitely do their best to protect the safety of the ma*ses, I will take care of it.”
“Then, thanks a lot Uncle Zheng.” After talking about the business, Ji Feng’s tone returned to that posture of saying that he was close.
After ending the call with Zheng Yuanshan, Ji Feng didn’t stop yet, he intended to call his second brother Ji Shaolei if there was still no result from Zheng Yuanshan, he couldn’t just use people from the White Road, the other three religions and nine streams, he had to use all of them if he could.
“Ding ……”
Just at this time, Guo Tao called again.
Ji Feng immediately picked up the phone and asked, “Guo Tao, what did he say?”
“Boss, I just checked the security office’s surveillance video, the car that took Kang Gong is a black Pa*sat, the license plate number is Jiang b ……” Guo Tao said.
Ji Feng was instantly refreshed, “Are you sure?”
“This is the surveillance we installed at the main entrance of the dormitory building, you can see it clearly on the surveillance, there are three people on the other side, it looks very unusual.” Guo Tao said, “These few people don’t seem to be the same as ordinary police officers, their movements are very competent and they are also very alert, I can feel it.”
