611: Chapter 611: A Bitter Ploy?
Previously, he had always thought Tian Ji was weak and needed good protection.
He believed that when he grew up, he would surely beco a man of great stature.
Little did he know that indulging him had led Tian Ji to beco lazy and degenerate, utterly incompetent—a true sin.
Tian Ji ignored everyone’s opinion of himself, thinking that preserving his own safety was paramount.
So, he crawled over and clung to Lin Yifan’s legs, pleading, “Master!
As long as you don’t cripple , I am willing to be your ox and horse, willing to give you all my wealth.”
“You, a person who only waits to eat, drink, sleep, and die, what wealth do you have?
Do you think I would care about your trivial Scattered Silver?” Lin Yifan kicked Tian Ji away and asked with a sneer.
After being kicked away, Tian Ji imdiately got up and retorted, “I may have nothing, but my second uncle does.
If you are willing to spare , he will give you as much as you want.”
“Really?
I want a hundred billion, can your second uncle give
that?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
He had not expected Tian Ji to dare make such a guarantee in front of everyone, completely shedding his second uncle’s face.
However, this also showed how much Tian Ji’s second uncle indulged him, allowing Tian Ji to so confidently make such a firm promise.
Tian Xing’an was utterly disgraced, now that everyone knew he and Tian Ji were in league.
“Damn it, this damned bastard has ruined all my face.”
Tian Xing’an cursed inwardly, but there was nothing he could do since he had brought this upon himself.
If he hadn’t treated Tian Ji as his own son, he wouldn’t have defended him at every turn.
“He can give it!
He can definitely give it!
As long as you let
go, he will give it for sure!” Tian Ji answered emphatically.
He saw a ray of hope, a ray that ant he might escape unhurt.
Lin Yifan wanted money, and as long as he could provide it, he would be safe.
As far as he knew, his second uncle’s fortune was surely more than a hundred billion.
The funds used last ti at the auction for the Hundred Steps Heart-Piercing Poison Antidote, mostly ca from his second uncle, and even then, it totaled over fifty billion.
So, he believed his second uncle could definitely provide the hundred billion in compensation if he still cared about his nephew.
“Alright!
Have him give a hundred billion, and I will let you go,” Lin Yifan agreed to Tian Ji’s request.
Actually, crippling Tian Ji would be no fun, and after today’s incident, he believed Tian Ji would not dare to provoke him again soon, for even the head of the Tian Family did not dare to ss with him—what capital did Tian Ji have to provoke him?
Upon receiving Lin Yifan’s reply, Tian Ji’s face lit up with joy, then he imdiately went to beg Tian Xing’an, “Second uncle, I know you care about Ji’er the most, you can’t bear to see Ji’er suffer.
Please, save Ji’er, pay the hundred billion to Brother Lin.”
Full of hope, he gazed at Tian Xing’an, believing he would surely save him.
But he was mistaken.
Tian Xing’an, now engulfed in anger, was not inclined to help him easily.
Thus, Tian Xing’an pushed him away with a hand and rebuked, “Get lost!
The thing I want most now is to see you suffer.
Only by taking a fall will you learn your lesson.”
“Second uncle, Ji’er has learned his lesson.
Ji’er won’t cause trouble anymore, please save Ji’er!”
The sudden scolding took Tian Ji by surprise.
He had not expected his usually doting second uncle to suddenly turn against him today.
This feeling was absolutely terrifying.
He felt the world darken, unable to see any light.
For in this world, only his second uncle could provide him with everything he desired.
His good-for-nothing parents depended on his second uncle just as he did, so without his second uncle, he would beco nothing, unable to raise his head outside, and without any status even within his own family.
Therefore, he was afraid, and no matter what, he had to cling to that lifeline.
“Get lost!
You troublemaker, all you do is bring trouble to
and the Tian Family.
What else can you do besides that?” Tian Xing’an chastised Tian Ji in front of everyone.
Now, he was truly angered by his good-for-nothing nephew.
“Uncle, it’s all my fault, I’ve let down the family and you; but this ti, I just beg you to help
once more, I won’t trouble you ever again,” Tian Ji pleaded as he crawled back.
However, he was ruthlessly pushed away again: “Get lost!
I don’t want to help you even once now.”
Seeing the situation, Tian Ji had no choice but to resort to his last resort, hoping it would work: “Uncle, please, for the sake of the Hundred Steps Heart-Piercing Poison Antidote I secured to save your life, help
out!”
“Oh!
So you an to say that I owe you a life now, and I must repay it, huh!
How many lives did you owe
in the past, have you repaid those?”
Hearing Tian Ji’s words, Tian Xing’an was so furious he couldn’t hold it in.
Originally, he had planned to help Tian Ji after calming down, but after such a moral threat, he didn’t even want to deal with this bastard anymore.
“No, Uncle, that’s not what I an, I…” Tian Ji was at a loss for words, unable to explain himself.
In fact, that was exactly what he ant.
Now that Uncle was furious, it seed unlikely he would help him again.
At that mont, Tian Ji pondered for a while, then gritted his teeth, approached Lin Yifan, and said, “Just kill !
That way, all hatred will be completely resolved.”
“Kill you, are you sure?” Lin Yifan asked tentatively.
The usually timid Tian Ji, why was he suddenly seeking death?
Could this be his cunning plan?
Lin Yifan was perplexed, but he guessed it might just be Tian Ji’s cunning plan, so he decided to play along with Tian Ji’s sche.
“Certain!” Tian Ji confird.
Now utterly disillusioned, to avoid the humiliation, disgrace, and ridicule of struggling to survive, he chose to end his own life, which seed better than anything else.
“Alright!
Since you’re seeking death, I’ll see you off,”
After saying this, Lin Yifan raised his palm, gathering full strength, ready to strike Tian Ji’s crown.
Seeing this, the ruthless Tian Xing’an imdiately shouted, “Wait!”
Hearing these words, Tian Ji instantly opened his eyes, as if he had seen spring, seen hope.
“These are Uncle’s words, he hasn’t abandoned !
He isn’t ignoring my peril!
This is great!”
Tian Ji was exceedingly thrilled, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.
Afterwards, with a joyful expression, he looked towards Tian Xing’an, anticipating what he would say next.
“What?
Are you saying you’ll compensate
with ten billion?” Lin Yifan asked curiously.
He hadn’t expected this guy to actually fall for Tian Ji’s trick, but that was good too, as he could make a huge profit again.
“Is it that if I give you ten billion, you will spare my nephew?” Tian Xing’an asked.
