Pyramid Hanging Upside Down Chapter 30

Chapter 30

“You…” Ji Taizhen tried to move his hands and feet, but except for the heartbreaking pain, he couldn’t move his limbs at all. He could only twist his torso on the ground like a worm.

He struggled to raise his head and saw two bodies hanging from the tree.

Ji Taizhen immediately understood that the people he sent out did not die at the scene of the assassination, but were captured by Ji Xingyuan’s people.

Ji Taizhen gave up his struggle and endured the severe pain and asked Ji Xingyuan: “What on earth do you want to do? Kill me? How can you take my power if I just disappear? It will only become more chaotic and difficult to control, and it will be easier for others to seize the opportunity to attack the Ji family!”

Ji Xingyuan sneered, squatted down, raised his left hand that transformed into a hammer in front of his eyes, and said to Ji Taizhen, “Do you think I care about this now?”

“I was assassinated two nights ago, and Qi Feiluan was sitting in the same car with me. The vehicle we were riding in was overturned by the explosion, and his left leg was stuck. Right where you are lying now, I personally amputated his left leg.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xingyuan’s left hand slammed down on Ji Taizhen’s left knee. The metal hammer easily smashed Ji Taizhen’s kneecap. Amidst Ji Taizhen’s screams, Ji Xingyuan’s smile was filled with real joy.

“Does it hurt? It hurts him too, and I feel more pain than him.”

“Uncle, now I just want you to experience the same pain and then be buried here forever.”

Ji Taizhen’s desperate expression was filled with fear. For the first time, he realized that Ji Xingyuan was simply a lunatic.But even if he knew how Ji Xingyuan would torture him, he would never cry and beg for mercy.

“Okay, you are indeed Ji Tailin’s son. I never noticed before that you were actually interested in that little follower beside you, hahahaha… You cut off his legs with your own hands last time, and you will definitely cut off his neck with your own hands in the future… Ah!”

Before Ji Taizhen finished speaking, Ji Xingyuan hit the calf bone of his left leg again.

Ji Xingyuan didn’t want to listen to the desperate and crazy words of the dying man anymore. He smashed Ji Taizhen’s entire left leg with one hammer after another. He stood up and the blood-stained hammer transformed into a large-caliber gun.

“Do you want to know how Ji Tailin died?”

Even though Ji Taizhen was in so much pain that he started to convulse, he still couldn’t help but look at Ji Xingyuan. He gasped and squeezed out a few words: “As expected…as expected…you…it’s you…”

“It’s me.” Ji Xingyuan smiled, with a hint of madness behind the smile, “My mother Jian Lu once asked me for a gun. So when I ended his life, I did not choose to use medicine to make him die slowly, but gave him the bullet that should have been given to him long ago.”

“And now, my dear uncle, farewell.”

There was a gunshot and a direct bombardment from a large-caliber gun at close range. Ji Taizhen’s head and neck were completely exploded, leaving only half a body on the ground.

The smile on Ji Xingyuan’s face slowly disappeared. He looked at the corpse on the ground and regained his usual indifference, and said: “Bury it.”

After executing Ji Taizhen under the tree, Ji Xingyuan washed off the bloody smell all over his body and the blood stains on his prosthetic left arm, changed into clean clothes, and then rushed back to the hospital.

Ji Xingyuan walked all the way to Qi Feiluan’s ward, and the door opened silently and automatically in front of him.

Qi Feiluan was sleeping on the hospital bed. Before he came over, the doctor told him that he had just given Qi Feiluan an analgesic injection, but it was obvious that although the pain was relieved, Qi Feiluan still slept uneasily.

The temperature in the ward was suitable, Qi Feiluan was not covered with a quilt, and the severed part of his left leg was bandaged.

Ji Xingyuan walked lightly to the bedside, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible. He stared at Qi Feiluan’s uneasy sleeping face for a long time, then leaned down in front of the hospital bed and placed a very light kiss on the bandage of the severed limb.

That kiss was lighter than feathers, dust and wind, yet heavier than all the past combined, and more pious than all sincerity combined.

Ji Xingyuan straightened up quickly without disturbing Qi Feiluan, turned around and left the ward.

Ji Taizhen’s “disappearance” will indeed cause great turmoil. He has not been easy recently, but he will not let the outside world affect this.

…

Qi Feiluan finally had a long vacation due to the problem of amputation.

Modern medicine has become very advanced, and the technology of replacing original limbs with prostheses has also become very mature. Generally, amputation and replacement of prosthetic limbs according to the normal process will not be as painful as Qi Feiluan’s.

The doctor will judge the appropriate place to amputate the limb based on the body’s condition. Modern instruments can be precise and painless, and the recovery and rehabilitation period are also short. You can basically return to normal within a month.

However, Qi Feiluan’s amputation was violently performed in a crisis situation, and the recovery and rehabilitation period will be longer than normal prosthetic replacement. The doctor told him that it will take at least May before he can fully return to normal and return to his work and life.

“Do you want to stay in the hospital until May?” Qi Feiluan asked the doctor.

The doctor replied: “That’s not necessary. Your left leg has been pre-implanted with an interface for connecting the prosthetic limb. You only need to stay in the hospital for two weeks to observe whether there is any rejection reaction. After that, you need to come to the hospital for weekly review. If there are no other problems within a month, you can connect the prosthetic limb and enter the rehabilitation period. During the rehabilitation period, technicians will adjust the prosthetic limb according to your posture until your prosthetic limb becomes the same as the original left leg.”

The doctor has rich experience in this kind of prosthetic replacement surgery. He also reassured Qi Feiluan: “Don’t worry, you will find after the rehabilitation period that the prosthetic limb is more useful than your original limb. It can be deformed, connected to the Internet, and connected with additional devices. For people like you who are engaged in the security profession, the prosthetic limb can also be transformed into a weapon.”

“Don’t young people often say that flesh and blood are weak and machines can ascend? Although the current technology is not yet capable of machine ascension, many people regard it as a future.”

After hearing this, Qi Feiluan thanked the doctor. He was not one of those who believed that prosthetics were the future. He neither opposed nor agreed with prosthetic replacement, he just accepted it.

The good news for him is that he won’t have to stay in the hospital until May, which would not only cause him problems but also cause him to miss the entire spring.

Qi Feiluan is young and has a stronger body than ordinary people. After being bedridden for the first few days, his tolerance for pain greatly increased and he was soon able to move around in the hospital with crutches.

This hospital is a private hospital under the name of the Ji family. There are very few people on the high-end single ward floor. When Qi Feiluan was slowly moving in the corridor to adapt to the lack of his left calf, he accidentally discovered that the person living next door was Ji Yinli.

Compared with Qi Feiluan, Ji Yinli was much more relaxed and comfortable. When he saw Qi Feiluan, he subconsciously glanced at his empty left calf, then quickly looked away and greeted Qi Feiluan openly: “How are you, Brother Qi! I didn’t expect you to live next door to me.”

“Master Ji.” Qi Feiluan only called him a response.

Ji Yinli waved her hand and said, “No, no, my friends, Ji… and brother all call me by my name, and Brother Qi can also call me by my name.”

Ji Yinli helped Qi Feiluan back to the ward very naturally.

Qi Feiluan and Ji Yinli were actually not familiar with each other at all, and they had no contact with each other, but Qi Feiluan felt that Ji Yinli had an awkward feeling towards him today, as if he wanted to please him, but subconsciously wanted to keep a distance from him.

Qi Feiluan didn’t know why Ji Yinli had such a big change, so he simply followed Ji Yinli’s wishes and returned to his ward. However, he did not ask for Ji Yinli’s support and walked back on his own with a cane.

After Qi Feiluan sat down on the hospital bed, Ji Yinli looked around, walked to the chair beside the bed, sat down, and said, “Brother Qi probably still doesn’t know why I live next door to you…”

Ji Yinli told him everything about Ji Taizhen’s threats, how he secretly took refuge with Ji Xingyuan, and how he helped Ji Xingyuan set up a trap for Ji Taizhen.

“Last time I had to trouble Brother Qi to come over to solve the problem when I caused trouble in the bar. I wanted to join him at that time.” Ji Yinli said, “I was hospitalized because of the anesthetic gas, but I actually didn’t have any serious problems when I woke up. It’s just that I didn’t want to be discharged from the hospital. I don’t know what kind of chaos it will be outside. I don’t want to be pushed out and used as a target for the second time.”

In fact, Ji Yinli knew that the person living next door to him was Qi Feiluan, and this chance encounter was his own initiative.

Although Ji Yinli didn’t know how Ji Xingyuan would treat Ji Taizhen, it was certain that he would never appear in this world again. The factors that threatened him disappeared, and Ji Yinli completely relaxed.

The outside world may not know why Ji Taizhen “disappeared”, but Ji Yinli knew that it was Ji Xingyuan who did it, and he also guessed why Ji Xingyuan couldn’t wait to take action.

In this case, Qi Feiluan lives next door to him, wouldn’t it be a good time for him to express his stance?

Ji Yinli knew very well that there was no use in trying to please Ji Xingyuan, but it was much more useful in trying to please the people Ji Xingyuan cared about. The reason why he didn’t see Ji Taizhen was because the person in front of him was too cold.

He knew that Qi Feiluan probably hadn’t had time to learn about Ji Taizhen’s story, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told everything he knew.

Ji Yinli wanted to please Qi Feiluan, but he was aware of Alpha’s possessiveness, so he subconsciously kept a certain distance from Qi Feiluan that would not anger Ji Xingyuan. This was difficult to control, but for him, it was related to whether he would be happy in the rest of his life.

“Ji Taizhen is ‘missing’. My brother is probably very busy recently. If Brother Qi is bored, you can come to me and I will take you to play games. If you have anything to do, you can come next door and tell me. I am just hiding in the hospital for a while. In fact, nothing has happened.”

After listening, Qi Feiluan nodded to Ji Yinli.

Ji Yinli was very measured. He only needed to brush up his presence today. He needed to take his time to brush up his favorability. He stood up and said, “Then I won’t disturb Brother Qi’s rest.”

Losing a limb is a severe trauma to the body. Qi Feiluan’s body has just begun to recover in the past few days after the operation, and his spirit has not been very good. He spent most of the day sleeping, and he did not have time to pay attention to the outside world.

Except for the first day, he had never seen Ji Xingyuan.

He still didn’t know that Ji Taizhen actually participated in the assassination and was “disappeared” just like that.

Did Ji Xingyuan do this out of anger at being assassinated, or…for revenge on him?

Qi Feiluan rationally felt that it was very likely that Ji Xingyuan took revenge because he was assassinated, but he had to admit that he had a vague idea – maybe Ji Xingyuan took revenge on Ji Taizhen so quickly because of himself.
