Chapter 2874: Sister Nian Is Here Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Ji Hongyuan cleverly answered, “That’s right. Madam, it’s not that we don’t want to wait for Ji Nan to come back, but we can’t keep dragging it out, right? You said that Ji Nan will be here in an hour. Another day will be delayed if he doesn’t come back. “It doesn’t matter to us, but the Ji family can’t wait any longer.” Ruthlessness flashed across Ji Hongyuan’s eyes, but then he went back to look upright. “The various factions in the independent continent have been receiving news of the Patriarch’s accident since this morning. We can’t delay this matter any longer…” After speaking, he pursed his lips and lowered his head to take a sip of tea, seemingly in no hurry. Everyone was shocked by this news. “Wasn’t the news of the Patriarch’s accident covered up? How did it spread?” “If the other factions know that something has happened to the Patriarch…” Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, Ji Ziyin slowly stood up and spoke in a low voice, “l heard that the news has been spreading since this morning. I reckon the entire independent continent will know about this before the day is over.” Xie Yun glared at her. “Hehe, what a coincidence! I’m afraid this news has grown eyes. You still know when it’s most beneficial for you.” 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦 However, Ji Ziyin explained humbly, “Madam, you’ve misunderstood me. The news came from Continent F. The Chamber of Commerce Alliance has business dealings there, and they were the first to know. I only found out they knew this morning.” Xie Yun’s eyes darkened, and her lips curled into a cold smile. It was obvious that she did not believe her lie. Then, she turned to the others. “Anyway, Ji Nan will be back in an hour. I don’t object to you choosing a new Patriarch, but 1 hope you can wait for him to come back! ” Ji Ziyin would not give her this chance. Smiling, she gently said, “But Madam, time waits for no man… Time waits for no man! This was the first time Xie Yun had faced such a situation where there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind. Her mother was also a burden. She could only helplessly watch as Ji Hongyuan suggested that the elders express their stance again… An hour later. The plane landed at the Independent Continent’s airport. Qiao Nian saw Feng Yu waiting for them as soon as she got off the plane, Feng Yu looked at the emaciated Ji Nan and greeted him politely. “Get in the car. We’ll talk on the way.” Ji Nan greeted him politely, “Elder Feng.” “Mm.” Feng Yu turned around and opened the door. Qiao Nian lowered her baseball cap and bent down to get into the car. Ji Nan went around to the other side and got in as well. Feng Yu waited for them to get into the car before also entering. “To the Ji family.” “Yes, Dean.” Without another word, the chauffeur turned the car around and drove towards the Ji family’s old residence. The car drove steadily on the road. Qiao Nian opened the window to let the wind in. Then, she narrowed her eyes and turned to Feng Yu. “Are we late?” Feng Yu sighed. “You’re always so sharp.” He looked at the clueless Ji Nan, shook his head, and sighed again. “l don’t know the outcome, but the current situation is not optimistic!” “Huh?” Qiao Nian turned her head. Feng Yu looked at her thin face. “l heard that Old Madam Xie is there.” Ji Nan’s pupils constricted slightly, and his throat tightened as if he was being strangled. “She…” Feng Yu continued, “Ji Ziyin brought also someone from the reclusive families, one of the three heads of the Privy Council..”
