Chapter 15
When he slashed down, everyone was shocked.
Jian Fang was silent at first, not knowing what else to say for a while.
Jian Zhi is right.
At that time, he was at the Round Table headquarters. Cyril came to see him about something and had a secret chat with him in the office, which slowed him down.
By the time he left Cyril’s office, the sky had already changed color, and the sunset was as red as blood. Jian Fang was still thinking that the weather today was a little strange.
When I heard that Jian Zhi was pushed to the trial stand, the news had already spread within the family.
Only then did Jian Fang realize what the vague words of Jian Lu Zhong and other members of the family meant.
He almost went crazy. He rushed to the manor in the central area that night, but the news he heard was that Jian Zhi had disappeared.
Jian Fang’s first reaction was to question Cyril. Didn’t he say that he would be responsible for the pollution in District 12?Why go to trial for his brother?
But the moment he walked out of the manor, he realized that he was not qualified to question Cyril.
It is a reality that large-scale pollution occurred in District 12. There was no procedural error in the roundtable meeting to hold Jian Zhi accountable. What’s more, when Jian Zhi was being tried, he didn’t know what happened and disappeared.
According to the charter, the Roundtable can even hold them accountable again!
Now, hearing Jian Zhi say something like “I would have died long ago if you came to save me”…
Jian Fang only felt that it was himself who deserved to die.
Under the dazzling golden light, Jian Zhi sat at the end of the long table, with a cold expression and skin as white as ice and snow, looking at them with a mocking look.
There was not even a trace of emotion in those dark eyes.
In front of him, the half-cooked steak was oozing blood, mixed with the pink meat, which made people’s scalp numb.
Jian Luzhong looked like he had seen a ghost, but Ye Chenzhi looked calm. Looking carefully at his eyes, they were full of appreciation, like a dragon that had seen a rare treasure and wanted to take it home immediately to keep it.
If it was Jian Zhi from the past, he would still be able to understand.
Jian Zhi used to be well-behaved and docile, like a beautiful doll, attracting the protective desire of others. He used this to win over many colleagues, but now Jian Zhi?It’s not an exaggeration to describe a drastic change in temperament. Is this lunatic who stabbed his steak bloody and was his son?
Is this awakened person sick?
Jian Lu had lived half his life again, and for the first time, he felt that he didn’t recognize his little son.
He calmly looked away and looked at Jian Fang.
Under Jian Zhi’s questioning, Jian Fang lowered his head, pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were full of pain, his knuckles turned white, and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
During the stalemate, the light in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed.
The dark wind blew from nowhere, and all the candles on the dining table were extinguished!
Jian Zhi originally thought it was Ye Chenzhi who had done something good, but he saw Ye Chenzhi stood up and held his shoulders behind him, forming a cautious protector posture.
What’s going on?!
Jian Fang also raised his head and saw the movement on the other side of the long table. His heart sank. Something happened?
Jian Luzhong looked stern, raised his hand and made a downward movement to signal them not to speak.
The candle flame that had just been extinguished flickered and then started to fire up again. In an instant, countless fierce flames were reflected in the banquet hall. When illuminated by the crystal chandelier on the top, it reflected countless shadows. If you look closely, they looked like human faces.
In an instant, the entire banquet hall was filled with ghosts, and the dark patterns on the carpet, pillars, and walls seemed to move together.
Countless lines twisted together, and the Jian family’s family coat of arms seemed to be alive, like worms, like tentacles, like undecipherable symbols, faintly reflecting the strange blood light, and throughout the hall, the wind rustled like indescribable whispers.
Ye Chenzhi put his hand on Jian Zhi’s shoulder, veins popped out on his wheat-colored skin, and his knuckles were already clasping his skin.
He was nervous.
Jian Zhi focused his attention on Ye Chenzhi from the wriggling family crests. He had never seen Ye Chenzhi like this before. Ye Chenzhi was always calm and confident. What was he afraid of?
He stretched out his hand, put it on the back of Ye Chenzhi’s hand, and patted it gently.
Ye Chenzhi held his hand with his backhand, and Jian Zhi felt the coldness of his fingertips.
“Jian Zhi, congratulations.”
Jian Luzhong spoke without warning. He stared at the coat of arms on the ground and said in a low voice:
“From now on, you have a chance to become the heir of the Jian family.”
Jian Zhi: “?”
He looked away from the vision in the hall: “I’m not your son either?”
Jian Luzhong: “…”
He took a deep breath and warned himself not to be too bad at Jian Zhi.
“Things are not as simple as you think,” Jian Luzhong said in an enigmatic tone, “The position of the head of our Jian family is not determined by blood.”
“Is that based on these things?”
Jian Zhi stretched out a finger and touched the tangled lines on the pillar across the void.
“If they say I can, I can do it. If they say I can’t, then I can’t?”
As if in response to his words, the lines on the pillars became more and more twisted, and the patterns seemed to be pushed up from the inside. The originally regular lines began to squeeze and intertwine with each other, and bulged layer by layer, as if blood vessels were pulsating under the stone.
Dark lines snake up the column, and the ends split into tiny tentacles, which are then connected to each other in the next moment to form an indecipherable symbol.
Jian Zhi glanced over and saw that their wriggling seemed to have stopped.
But in those moments when he wasn’t looking at them, the outline of the tentacles moved slightly under the lamp, like a living creature breathing slowly, making it unclear whether it was a sculpture or something that was forcibly sealed in the stone.
“That’s why, only those who awaken the ‘Heraldry’ are qualified to become the heirs of the Jian family.”
Jian Lu sighed heavily and said rather reluctantly:
“Eat first. After dinner, I will take you to see the head of the family.”
The light and shadow in the banquet hall then became weird.
The high-hanging chandelier was on steadily, but the light cast by it was cut into pieces by the twisted patterns, and fell on the carpet, forming dark spots of different shades.
The thick red carpet absorbs the excess brightness, making the color appear dark and heavy, as if soaked in old blood.
The shimmer reflected by the metal tableware also lost its temperature, leaving only a cold bright spot, echoing the coat of arms on the pillar, passing through Jian Zhi’s eyes.
Jian Zhi was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately and couldn’t help laughing.
He tilted his head slightly, put his face against Ye Chenzhi’s hand, rubbed it intentionally or unintentionally, and nodded gently to him, indicating that he was not in danger now and that he could go back and sit down first.
After comforting Ye Chenzhi, Jian Zhicai looked at Jian Luzhong again and asked him with a half-smile:
“My dear father, since you are not the head of the Jian family, are you also the heir?”
The tone was mocking, no different from a slap in the face of Jian Luzhong.
Jian Luzhong nodded awkwardly.
“It seems that my guess was correct. Now you and I have the same status in the family.”
Jian Zhi’s smile remained unchanged and he said slowly:
“Our family is really interesting. From now on, I am not your son, but your rival, right?”
If his guess was correct, the Jian family, an inexplicable family, probably had some special secrets in private, so they relied on this weird method to select their heirs.
Before he was qualified, these things were like icebergs hidden under the sea, and he would never know about them.
To the Jian family, he was not a human being at all, but a prop that could be used at will. As Jian Lu Zhong’s son, he, like Jian Fang, could be used as a bargaining chip in the battle for succession.
It’s different now.
He and Jian Lu were on equal footing, and as long as he was cruel enough, he could even use his own father as a bargaining chip.
“Yes,” Jian Luzhong said in a hard voice, “Jian Zhi, as the heir, you can choose a place you like among the Jian family’s assets as your base.”
“We’re playing a spy game here at the stronghold,” Jian Zhi smiled nonchalantly, klicked his knuckles on the dining table, “Then, from now on, this manor is mine.”
“After dinner, you two should go home.”
Jian Lu nodded firmly, even though he was unwilling to do so, but under the witness of “Heraldry”, Jian Zhi chose this manor, so he had to agree.
Even this eviction order was issued too quickly.
His son seems to be well suited to this role.
“The head of the family will ask someone to prepare documents and hand over the ownership of this manor to you. From then on, all the resources here are for you to deploy, and the people and money are yours.”
As Jian Luzhong spoke, he took a bite of steak. It was medium rare and smelled of blood. He frowned as he ate it, but there was nothing he could do. He didn’t want to go out hungry.
“Jian’s positions in the Round Table will be handed over to you as compensation for the Trial Stand Incident. This is my gift to you as a father.”
Jian Zhi curled up the corners of his lips: “This is not a gift.”
Jian Lu swallowed another bite of steak: “What do you want?”
“It’s better to spend a huge sum of money than to ask for help,” Jian Zhi said with a gentle expression, “Are you right, dad?”
Jian Luzhong couldn’t help but shudder, and Jian Zhi added: “You don’t want me to ask Ye Chen to kill you, right?”
Ye Chenzhi raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows at him.
Jian Luzhong looked at the steak with the knife still stuck on it, feeling as if he had seen his own future.
“No problem, how much do you want? I’ll call you later.” Jian Lu’s heart was dripping with blood. He couldn’t maintain his solemn and loving fatherly face. He was now in the same position as his son, so he simply broke the pot. “Jian Fang also gave it to you. He said he wanted to protect you since he was a child.”
“There’s no need for Jian Fang, I’m not stupid enough to put an eyeliner around me.”
Jian Zhi smiled and stretched out his hand towards him, and said confidently:
“Give me a black card.”
Jian Luzhong took a deep breath, and just when he was about to refuse, the coat of arms on the ground started to squirm again, and it seemed that if he didn’t agree, he would be given some color to see.
“Okay.”
Jian Luzhong took out his wallet and pulled out a black card with complex dark patterns drawn on it. It was an unlimited card issued by the Federal Bank.
“Don’t brush randomly.”
“Well, I plan to buy a helicopter tomorrow, otherwise it will be too inconvenient to go to District 12.”
Jian Zhi said lightly, and with a wave of his finger, the black card flew from Jian Lu Zhong’s hand and landed accurately in front of him. He put the card away, stood up, and said to Jian Lu Zhong and Jian Fang:
“Take it easy, you two, we won’t accompany you anymore.”
When he walked out of the banquet hall, he did not forget to tell the valet at the door: “Remember to send them off tonight.”
Angry, Jian Luzhong cut another large piece of steak, feeling deeply that he had given birth to an unworthy child.
The door of the banquet hall slowly closed, throwing Jian Lu Zhong and Jian Fang inside together.
The corridor was still dark, but the heavy oil paintings seemed to have lost some of their coldness and become warm.
Those originally upright and serious faces looked softer in the candlelight, vaguely following the direction Jian Zhi left.
The shadows deep in the eye sockets are elongated, as if an extra layer of structure has been born, and the color of the pupils becomes turbid and deep, as if they are not looking at a real person, but confirming some established result.
The corridor was quiet again.The footsteps echoed clearly on the waxed floor, and the dark wooden floor reflected the dim candlelight, like a thin layer of water.
The air is mixed with the smell of wax, wood and old fabrics, familiar and closed. The road leading to the bedroom is straight and long, as if the manor also knows who is its owner.
“Your brother has been watching you.”
As soon as he returned to the room, Ye Chenzhi turned around and pressed him against the door. His voice was low, with the emphasis on the word “brother”, and he said slowly:
“I have wanted to protect you since childhood.”
Jian Zhi raised his eyes and glanced at him with a smile on his lips.
He knew that his big golden retriever would feel unhappy. The fact that he could hold back until now to speak must be the result of Ye Chenzhi’s efforts to restrain himself.
Jian Zhi hooked his little finger and said with a smile, “What, are you jealous?”
Ye Chenzhi’s heart skipped a beat and he couldn’t help it immediately. He put his forehead against his and rubbed the tip of his nose against his. The distance was so close that he could see every eyelash of his.
A light, camellia-like smell emanated from Jian Zhi’s body, a smell that only he could have.
Ye Chenzhi pressed the corners of his lips with his fingertips and asked, “You just used me to scare others, should you pay some price now?”
