Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Ji Taizhen watched Ji Yinli’s leaving figure with satisfaction, then thought of Ji Xingyuan, and his mood suddenly hit rock bottom again.

He also knew that he himself was at a disadvantage in the fight against Ji Xingyuan. This illegitimate son who could be manipulated easily by him could only be used as a puppet, and he could not be expected to charge into battle.

Ji Taizhen thought in his heart, got up, went back to his study, and contacted Grantham through a secret line.

Generally speaking, you need to have a video connection to talk about things. When talking face to face, you can get more information from the other person’s demeanor.

But Ji Taizhen has always rarely contacted Grantham unless necessary.

Because Grantham has a pair of dark green eyes, when he stares at someone, it almost makes people feel like they are cursed, giving them a creepy feeling.

And Grantham, like Ji Xingyuan, reminds Ji Taizhen too easily of the young Ji Tailin.

As Ji Tailin’s younger brother, most of Ji Taizhen’s current appearance was forced by Ji Tailin’s sharp edge.

When the connection was connected and Grantham’s face appeared on the big screen, Ji Taizhen uncharacteristically kept his story short: “You should know what happened on New Year’s Eve. I will push Ji Yinli to the stage to temporarily take over my position. I hope our cooperation will continue.”

Grantham said meaningfully: “Of course I will continue, but my friend, if we don’t solve Ji Xingyuan, I’m afraid there will be no one I want to cooperate with in the future.”

“What do you mean?” Ji Taizhen asked with a frown.

Grantham also said: “I dare not say that I know Ji Xingyuan, but I dare say that the two of us are similar people. Why should I let a man who is old and senior and who is forced to delegate power by me to hold him alive to continue to disgust me? Quietly letting him disappear will not only deter those with different intentions in the group, but also prevent the other party from regaining power. Why don’t I do it?”

“You mean, he might assassinate me?” Ji Taizhen subconsciously thought that this was impossible, but when he thought about it carefully, Ji Xingyuan could really do such a thing.

Ji Taizhen looked solemn and said, “What do you want to do and what do you need my cooperation to do? Stop beating around the bush.”

“It’s convenient to talk to smart people.”

Grantham’s face loomed close to the screen, his intense green eyes making him look devilish.

Faced with this old man who had lost his power and power, the devil proposed a deal that he could not refuse: “We can take action before him. As long as we solve the problem, the only one left who can inherit the Ji family is you.”

“Assassination or assassination, I will arrange the executioner, but I need information about Ji Xingyuan’s itinerary, security situation around him, etc. I think this is not difficult for you, right?”

“He has just taken over the Ji family not long ago, and the foundation is unstable. When he takes complete control of the Ji family, we will have no chance. Taking action now is the most unexpected moment, just like he did to you quickly.”

It has to be said that Ji Taizhen was moved. He did not need to arrange people and weapons to do it, but only needed to provide a little information.

If Ji Xingyuan is really dead and Ji Yinli still has something in his hands, then the only person in the Ji family who can speak is him.

Anyway, even if Ji Xingyuan is not dead, the whole blame can be thrown on Grantham.

Ji Taizhen thought about it and said decisively: “No problem, happy cooperation.”

“It’s a pleasure to cooperate.” Grantham raised his lips and hung up the communication.

Didn’t he know that Ji Taizhen wanted to put the blame for the assassination on him, but what he needed was to get Ji Taizhen into the car.

Ji Xingyuan’s itinerary and security situation could easily be obtained by him. He deliberately threw out some bait that was not difficult for Ji Taizhen but could be very fruitful, just to tie him to his chariot.

If Ji Xingyuan really died in assassination or assassination, then when Ji Taizhen took over the Ji family, Grantham would have evidence to further coerce Ji Taizhen and then gradually cannibalize the Ji family group.

Moreover, if you have to choose an opponent, Ji Taizhen is much easier to deal with than Ji Xingyuan.

If the assassination or assassination fails, there will be no big loss to Grantham. He and Ji Xingyuan are semi-open enemies and opponents, and they are only known as open cards at best.

…

On the other side, after Ji Yinli returned home from Ji Taizhen, he couldn’t even play the game anymore and was filled with depression.

Ji Xingyuan and Ji Taizhen can fight if they want, but they must involve him as an irrelevant person.

Ji Yinli doesn’t think Ji Taizhen can win. One reason is that he is older, and the top management of Jijia Group will definitely favor young and capable leaders. The other reason is that Ji Taizhen is at a disadvantage now, and the chance of making a comeback in the future is basically zero.

If he was pushed onto the stage by Ji Taizhen to fight Ji Xingyuan at this time, after Ji Taizhen’s complete defeat, would Ji Xingyuan still be able to tolerate him?

But if Ji Taizhen wins… Ji Taizhen looks down on him with a disgusting look, and he is holding on to himself and his mother. Even if he wins, he and his mother may not be safe.

He thought about it, and he felt so aggrieved that he refused even those gangster friends who asked him to go out and play tricks on him.

He held it in until the night of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, when a buddy who had a good relationship with Ji Yinli sent him a message, asking him if he had died recently, that he didn’t go out or play, and asked him if he would go to the bar that night.

[Go, why not go?Send the location.】

Anyway, he can’t change the fact that he was put on the stage as a cover. If he continues to be depressed because of this incident, he won’t be able to live a normal life.

Ji Yinli decided to be extravagant before he overturned.

Ji Yinli’s gang of friends are all playboys like him. The heads of wealthy or aristocratic families often have more than one child. There are always a few of these children who are useless, or there are other outstanding brothers and sisters in the family who do not need to be successful.

They have money and leisure, and they know how to play when they have fun. When they have fun together, they become so-called friends.

The bar Ji Yinli went to tonight was a new high-end theme bar.

The overall decoration of the bar tends to be cold and futuristic. The bar counter or long tables are all made of silver metal. The lights are not bright and shining, but are slightly dull dark blue.

The bartender standing at the bar has both arms replaced by prosthetic limbs. In addition, there are two external robotic arms extending from the back. If you don’t distinguish carefully, you can’t tell which two are the prosthetic limbs connecting the bartender and the body.

Most of the waiters serving wine are AI robots, and a small number of human waiters try their best to be like AI robots in their attire and appearance.

On the dance floor with dim blue lights, there are occasionally projected figures dancing with real people.

In addition, most of the avant-garde young people who come to the bar to drink and dance, and even most of the guests have prosthetic limbs.

The overall decoration, lighting, staff and guests in the bar together create a dark and psychedelic atmosphere.

Ji Yinli poured himself glass after glass of wine, and soon became drunk. At this time, the friend who had just called him came back and said, “I just saw a person dancing very excitedly on the dance floor. I wanted to talk to him, only to find out that he was a projectionist, look down!”

Ji Yinli’s friend had one arm replaced by a prosthetic arm. Most of the arm was covered by clothes. The exposed hand was pure white, dotted with many ice crystal-like patterns.

This man’s name was Nishizawa, and he loved skiing. After an injury caused one of his arms to shatter and fracture, he simply replaced that arm with a prosthetic leg.

“I’m back, why are you still drinking? Why are you unhappy recently? Are you fermenting yourself at home these days? You don’t come out even if I ask you.”

Hearing Xize’s words, Ji Yinli twitched his lips and said, “What do you know? You will know tomorrow. I might join the group.”

As soon as he said this, the other friends sitting next to him and Xize were stunned. Xize said in surprise: “Okay, Ji Yinli, don’t forget each other even if you are rich or noble, you have made a difference!”

Regarding Ji Yinli’s situation, Xize and others knew that he was an illegitimate son of the Ji family and had no connection with the Ji family group except for being rich.

It is precisely because he is the illegitimate son of the Ji family that they can play together.

If Ji Yinli was the serious second young master of the Ji family, they would probably not be able to lick him even if they wanted to.

But Ji Yinli, an illegitimate son, really wants to join the Ji family group?It seems that there is really going to be a reshuffle within the Ji family.

Some of the people present were so overwhelmed by their outstanding brothers and sisters at home that they could not hold their heads up and abandoned themselves to become idle playboys.

Even Ji Yinli, an illegitimate son, was able to enter the Ji family group and possibly gain access to the power of the Ji family. This made these people upset, and it was exciting for a while.

Soon someone opened his mouth and said in a rather sinister tone: “It seems that we will have to call you Second Young Master from now on. Second Young Master Ji, please don’t forget us in the future!”

Someone started, and others followed suit:

“Yes, the Second Young Master must treat you today!”

“This is a good thing. Second Young Master is here to go! I won’t come back until I’m drunk today!”

“Come on, let’s go out for a drink today. It’s the Second Young Master who gives us face. Come on, come on, pay homage to the Second Young Master!”

Ji Yinli smiled bitterly, what kind of second young master was he? Some of these people called him second young master to compliment him, to criticize him, and to be sarcastic. He would be stupid if he was really complacent.

While Ji Yinli was pretending to drink, he said: “Don’t do this, I can treat you today, but who knows what I will do in the future? No, let’s not talk about it, come on, do it!”

Ji Yinli drank until midnight. When the show was about to end in the early morning, Xi Ze, who was soberer than him, patted him and said, “Are you going back by yourself, or should I take you back? Or should you find someone to take you back?”

“Huh?” Ji Yinli, who has been drinking for a long time, is still sober to a certain extent. He was about to say that he would just get in the car and set up the automatic driving to go back, but when Xize asked someone to take him back?

Could he take this opportunity to find a way to get in touch with Ji Xingyuan’s people, even if he couldn’t say it explicitly, he could even hint at his reluctance.

Besides, Ji Tailin knew that he was not his biological son, so Ji Xingyuan might also know.

If Ji Xingyuan saw that he was willing to join his side, would he be willing to help him cover up this matter?

Ji Yinli never thought about fighting for power with Ji Xingyuan. If Ji Xingyuan knew that he was not a member of Ji’s family, he should also know that he posed no threat to him.

Ji Yinli had no other expectations, he just hoped that the status quo could be maintained and that he would be a rich N generation who could get some “pocket money” that big shots looked down upon.

Since we have to call someone to pick him up, just being drunk and having sex may not be enough of an excuse…

In order to struggle for himself, Ji Yinli’s brain, which had not been used for a long time, was spinning wildly. He shook his head and looked at the person over there who was the first to call him “Second Young Master” in a sinister manner.
