Huo Qing patted her. “Don’t worry about that. I’ll get ready.”
Ji Yan hurriedly said, “That won’t do. That’s your property. It’s my own Ji Gui. I’ll find a way to prepare for it myself.” Even if Huo Qing was the young master of the Huo family and didn’t lack money, she couldn’t let him do it. It was her own Ji Gui.
She was already very grateful that he was willing to help her come up with an idea. However, Huo Qing frowned and said, “Wenjing is also my friend. Even if she wasn’t kidnapped by your father, I would have intervened and saved her.”
50 million was not a small number. Where could she go to prepare for it? If the young madam of a merchant were to put it nicely, she was afraid that Sister Ji Yan would not have the right to use the merchant’s property.
Just like his mother, his mother’s title as the wife of the Huo family was nothing more than wealth. She definitely did not have that many assets in her hands.
He was different. He was favored by Old Master Huo and was the most valued successor of the Huo family’s younger generation. 50 million was not difficult for him.
Ji Yan was a little hesitant. Just as Huo Qing said, Li Wenjing was also his friend. She couldn’t stop him from interfering.
“I will return this money to you!” As if she was borrowing it, Ji Yan said solemnly.
Huo Qing had no choice but to agree. At this time, Ji Zhengqing sent an address. Ji Yan and Huo Qing looked at each other and left the studio.
“Young Master, Young Madam said that Miss Li has been found.” After returning, Lan Si reported what had happened to Shang Jinshen.
Shang Jinshen didn’t even raise his head. He didn’t take such a trivial matter to heart. Once someone found him, he wouldn’t worry about Ji Yan’s feelings anymore.
As for Lan Si, he always felt that there was something wrong with the Young Madam’s expression just now, but he didn’t say it, because he didn’t know what was wrong.
In the end, Lan Si didn’t know that this type of neglect made the events that followed to happen so quickly that it was almost impossible to turn back!
The address given by Ji Zhengmin was very complicated. Ji Yan and Huo Qing took a long way to find the shabby house. Fortunately, the location was not in the wilderness, but there were many empty houses nearby. Obviously, it had been a long time since many people had lived here.
“I really didn’t expect there to be such a place in North River City,” Huo Qingdao said. North River City was very prosperous, comparable to the capital city, so he was very surprised that there was such a place that had not been developed.
Ji Yan looked around and nodded. “There is such a place everywhere.”
Come to think of it, this place was much better than the village where they went to last time. But this place was too quiet. She didn’t know if Wenjing would be afraid of being kidnapped last night.
To be honest, Li Wenjing was really a little scared. She was bold, but it didn’t mean that she had stayed in such a big space-breaking house alone. It was still at night, and there was no light.
As a result, Ji Zhengqing left her here directly. Thinking of the terrible sound of wind last night, Li Wenjing was scared and always felt like a ghost.
While she was thinking, Ji Zhengqing held a beer bottle in his hand and walked in while drinking.
Li Wenjing had already lost her strength. She said in a dispirited voice, “When will you let me go?”
Ji Zhengmin glanced at her, took another sip of wine, and said, “What’s the hurry? I’ll let you go if my daughter sends you money.”
He didn’t intend to really kidnap her. He didn’t want to go to jail like his wife and daughter, so Ji Zhengqing didn’t make any mistakes to Li Wenjing. It was a blessing in misfortune.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ji Zhengqing smiled evilly and stood up. “He’s here!”
He strode to Li Weijing’s side, stood up with her collar in his hand, and walked out with a wooden stick as thick as a wrist in his hand, which looked quite scary.
In particular, his mouth was full of the smell of alcohol. Li Wenjing was worried that Ji Yan couldn’t deal with Ji Zhengqing by herself, and she was worried that she would be hurt by Ji Zhengqing, so she was cold and hungry. She suddenly looked a little shy.
When Ji Yan saw Li Weijing’s appearance, she immediately became angry. How energetic Li Wenjing was! How could she be tortured like this?
“Didn’t you say you wouldn’t hurt her?”
Ji Zhengmin glanced at his angry daughter and snorted. “I didn’t hurt her, and I didn’t care about her.” The little girl was so weak that she became like this after a day of hunger!
“She’s fine.” Huo Qing said, studying medicine. She could tell at a glance that Li Wenjing was just exhausted. Ji Yan calmed down a little when she heard that.
On the other hand, Ji Zhengqing was on guard as he looked at Huo Qing, who was speaking. He said sinisterly, “Who told you to bring people here? Didn’t I tell you to bring money yourself?”
Ji Yan kicked the box under her feet and said with disgust, “How can I bring the cash myself?”
Ji Zhengmin looked at Huo Qing again, with delicate features. She didn’t seem to be a powerful person. Maybe she was really here to carry a box for Ji Yan.
He put down the snacks slightly and said to Ji Yan, “Give me the money.”
Ji Yan looked at the distance of about ten meters in the middle and said, “I’ll kick the box over. Ask someone to come this way first.”
Ji Zhengmin thought for a moment and snorted. He gave her a hand, but the stick in his hand was tightly held.
Li Wenjing sat on the ground with a thud. She was so weak that she couldn’t stand still. Ji Yan immediately took a few steps forward nervously, worried that something would happen to Li Wenjing.
Li Wenjing looked at them, stood up with her hands on the ground, and walked in their direction. A drop of cold sweat dripped from her forehead. Obviously, she had never experienced such a scene.
At this moment, Ji Zhengqing suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
Ji Yan and Li Weijing were both shocked. Ji Zhengmin looked at Huo Qing with his eyes full of exploration and defense. “Isn’t this young man too calm? Something is wrong!”
He was about to pull Li Wenjing back with his stick, but at this moment, Ji Yan rushed up regardless of the consequences and held Li Wenjing tightly. Seeing that Ji Zhengqing was about to hit Ji Yan and Li Wenjing with a stick full of red eyes, Huo Qing took a few steps forward and raised the box in his hand and directly hit the stick in Ji Zhengqing’s hand.
His hand holding the box shook, and he felt a little numb. He thought in his heart that he was lucky to be able to block the steel. If this stick fell on Ji Yan or Li Weijing, it would be terrible.
With this thought in mind, Huo Qing’s entire body turned cold. How could the heir of the Huo family not have any skills? In close combat, he was able to suppress Ji Zhengqing.
Ji Yan stood with Li Weijing’s help and looked at the scene in front of her worriedly. As a result, Ji Zhengqing was beaten so hard that he went crazy. He waved the stick in his hand wildly, regardless of where he was.
This thrilling scene made Ji Yan and Li Wenjing take a deep breath. Ji Yan shouted, “Huo Qing, be careful.”
As soon as he finished shouting, Huo Qing was hit heavily by Ji Zhengmin’s stick. The clothes on his back were immediately torn open, which showed how powerful the stick was!
Huo Qing endured the pain in her back and kicked Ji Zhengqing’s wrist. Feeling the pain, Ji Zhengqing quickly loosened his grip and the stick rolled to the other side.
Ji Yan let go of Li Wenjing and took a few steps forward. She picked up the stick and put it tightly in front of her. Her hands trembled a little. She couldn’t let Ji Zhengqing get the stick again.
Ji Zhengmin was lying on the ground, his eyes red. He glared at Ji Yan, as if he wanted to skin her alive. With such a hateful look, he didn’t look like a father who was facing his own daughter.
