The middle-aged man was determined and powerful. Coupled with the inherent danger of the action, Ji Xizhi grabbed his shoulder with one hand and rcilessly kicked his calf. Taking advantage of the man’s mont of pain, she quickly pulled the young man back from the edge of the suspended stairs.
The series of actions was completed in an instant.
Ji Xizhi then subdued the middle-aged man, still holding the manuscript she was working on.
The people downstairs were stunned.
Where did this girl co from? Was she a bodyguard hired by the Feng Family or a detective? She’s so skilled!
The reporters wore similarly stunned expressions.
Wasn’t this the Ji Xizhi they had been searching for all night? Ji Xizhi really was resting in the upstairs lounge!!!
There was a mont’s silence downstairs before a burst of lively discussion erupted.
The reporters frantically snapped photos with their caras.
As the host of the banquet, Feng Qin quickly coordinated the security to subdue and capture the middle-aged man.
Although the middle-aged man was restrained, he continued to curse angrily:
"You little brat, you killed your mother and sent your father to prison just to be the son of wealthy people! Damn it, how could my brother raise such an ingrate like you back then..."
Feng Qin imdiately signaled the security to cover the man’s mouth upon hearing these words.
But still, a few sentences were leaked.
Especially with this incident happening at their family banquet, discussions had already started below the staircase.
"Isn’t that Ji Tingzhou? What does that man an? Isn’t Ji Tingzhou the Ji Family’s son?"
"Tsk, this is big news. I wonder if Chairman Ji knows Ji Tingzhou is not his son!"
"Who knows! Up to now, Ji Tingzhou is still in charge of the Ji Family’s affairs. I heard the one they found, Ji Fengyuan, is the real son. Even the real son works under Ji Tingzhou! Chairman Ji is so confused!"
There’s no shortage of secrets involving children in powerful families, but it’s rare for such matters to be exposed so publicly. When the Ji Family retrieved their long-lost eldest son, it was already a hot topic. Now it’s even more sensational.
The voices from downstairs beca increasingly clear.
Ji Xizhi stood halfway up the stairs, looking at the young man she had just saved.
From the discussions below, she caught the na of this man.
Ji Tingzhou.
The stepbrother of the novel’s male protagonist, Ji Fengyuan—Ji Tingzhou?
Ji Xizhi really had no impression of this character. The book only had a short ntion of him: After Ji Fengyuan returned ho, he used his outstanding abilities to reclaim his own family business from Ji Tingzhou.
Judging from the current plot, is Ji Fengyuan taking back the family affairs?
Ji Xizhi remained clear-headed but frowned deeply.
The middle-aged man had almost pushed Ji Tingzhou down the stairs, which already constituted attempted murder!
Is this really the use of outstanding abilities or outstanding criminal acts?!
Ji Xizhi looked down at Ji Tingzhou, who was slumped on the staircase.
Ji Tingzhou was supporting himself with one hand on the step, his veins prominently showing on the back of his hand. He looked like soone on the verge of drowning, gasping for breath.
Feng Qin had already arrived beside him, "Mr. Ji, are you okay? Do you need to call an ambulance?"
Ji Tingzhou took a couple of deep breaths before raising his head. Holding onto the staircase handrail, he slowly stood up, his voice hoarse, "I’m fine, thank you."
Ji Tingzhou straightened up and also thanked Ji Xizhi, then scanned the crowd downstairs. Upon seeing the confird figures, his gaze deepened slightly. He looked calmly at the middle-aged man not far from him, who was restrained but still staring fiercely at Ji Tingzhou.
The mont Ji Tingzhou stood up from the ground, his disheveled appearance was completely gone. His eyes were still red, but he maintained an innate elegance.
Ji Tingzhou said to Feng Qin, "Uncover his mouth."
Feng Qin was montarily stunned but quickly understood.
Those present at this incident had already spread across A City; it’s probably impossible to keep it covered. It would be best to clarify on site.
Feng Qin waved his hand, and the security guard freed the middle-aged man’s mouth.
The middle-aged man gasped triumphantly and beca even more arrogant. He held up his face, his tone growing more intense.
"Ji Tingzhou, do you think that by clinging to the Ji Family, you are now a prince of a wealthy family? I’m going to expose your true self now, to show everyone that you’re nothing but an unfilial son who abandoned his father. Neither you nor your crazy mother can be trusted, you and your mother..."
