Rise and Slay: From Scandal Queen to Academic Genius

Chapter 418 393: Playing Calabash Brothers Saving Grandpa Here?


Qi Zheng’s voice just came out.

Ji Xizhi raised her head and glanced behind him.

Then she saw someone silently walking out from the back.

The newcomer wore silver-rimmed glasses, stepping out from the darkness to just stand at the boundary of moonlight and shadow.

Ji Tingzhou glanced at Ji Xizhi and then turned to look at Qi Zheng.

“I know the law.”

Upon hearing these three words, Qi Zheng couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows.

“Then you’re more fit to be Mr. Ji than him!”

Ji Fengyuan nodded, “You can consider legal cooperation between Deep Sea Interactive Entertainment and your company.”

“Hmm… that’s the flavor.”

Qi Zheng didn’t even glance at Ji Fengyuan, nor did he pay attention to Ji Fengyuan’s threat, casually teasing with Ji Tingzhou.

Upon hearing Qi Zheng say “the Ji surname,” Ji Fengyuan’s heart suddenly skipped.

Then, before Ji Fengyuan could react.

Sure enough, Ji Tingzhou was also there.

At the moment he saw Ji Tingzhou, Ji Fengyuan’s face immediately twisted.

This impostor, after being exposed at Young Master Feng’s banquet, they hadn’t seen each other again.

A prince and the mud beneath the prince’s feet described none other than Ji Fengyuan and Ji Tingzhou.

Ji Tingzhou, who was supposed to be mud beneath his feet, stood before him again.

Ji Fengyuan clenched his fists tightly.

“Why are you here too!”

Ji Fengyuan’s tone was nearly accusatory.

Ji Tingzhou’s face was still cool and indifferent, compared to the bulging veins on Ji Fengyuan’s forehead, Ji Tingzhou was calm as if looking at a stranger.

Ji Tingzhou did not respond.

This attitude only made Ji Fengyuan more irritated.

“Ha! You really are watching me, why? Trying to reclaim the Ji Family? Don’t forget the blood of a murderer runs in your veins, you absolutely won’t…”

Ji Fengyuan’s crazy words hadn’t finished.

Ji Xizhi interrupted him, “Mr. Ji just spoke of an outlaw’s rhetoric earlier, why suddenly remember the law now? However, you are mistaken. The principle of collective punishment no longer exists; individual citizens committing crimes are solely responsible for their criminal liability.”

Ji Tingzhou was actually not provoked by Ji Fengyuan’s words.

He’s heard too many such words for too many years, heard enough to be able to recite them carefully.

Once, he would be suffocated and unable to breathe by such words.

Now, he no longer was.

Ji Tingzhou looked at Ji Xizhi, pursing his lips into an unpracticed smile, “Thanks, I’ve learned about this.”

Ji Xizhi nodded at him.

Only then did Ji Tingzhou retract his smile, adjusting his glasses as he looked back at Ji Fengyuan, “You might have misunderstood, I don’t want the Ji Family and I’m not interested in watching you.”

A simple sentence.

Made Ji Fengyuan completely break down.

Why did things he painstakingly calculated for and desperately wanted get casually discarded by Ji Tingzhou?

He was supposed to be the protagonist in this story!!!

What gives Ji Tingzhou the right!

“Impossible! I’m the one who expelled you from the Ji Family! You’re following me because you found out I was removed by the shareholders, you…”

Standing next to Ji Tingzhou, Qi Zheng rolled his eyes at Ji Fengyuan’s behavior.

“You’re the smart one for knowing to watch that Ji Yezong kid. Do you honestly think you’re the world’s protagonist, able to rule it all?”

Ji Fengyuan suddenly widened his eyes: “How… how do you know!!!”

Qi Zheng’s eyes widened too: “…You really are!”

Qi Zheng just casually said something randomly, yet Ji Fengyuan really responded, this guy is quite crazy.

Qi Zheng shook his head in amazement looking at Ji Fengyuan, then turned to look at Ji Tingzhou.

Indeed, both he and Ji Tingzhou were unexpectedly present tonight.

Not for the red carpet, nor for anything else.

They were both following Ji Yezong.

Qi Zheng originally had cases concerning Ji Xizhi and the Ji Family, so keeping an eye on Ji Yezong was reasonable.

Ji Tingzhou heard from Hangxing Entertainment about Ji Yezong, and upon knowing Ji Fengyuan was also coming, he tagged along to observe.

Neither of them came at the red carpet timing, arriving a bit late, both had independent reasons, which led to this coincidence.

Later…

By the time they arrived, Ji Yezong was already threatening Ji Xizhi with a mop.

They wanted to make an appearance when Ji Fengyuan suddenly jumped out.

Seeing the situation, Qi Zheng simply blocked others, intending to observe first.

Then… they watched Ji Fengyuan violently beat Ji Yezong.

Qi Zheng thought: No big deal, Ji Yezong deserved some beatings!

Ji Tingzhou thought: Also no big deal, Ji Fengyuan violating the law deserved any consequences!

They silently stood in the shadows under the corridor, saying nothing.

Until hearing that explosive speech, they decided to step out.

Ji Xizhi had already received WeChat messages from Qi Zheng and Fang Yuliang after calling the police.

Qi Zheng’s WeChat only had one line: Listen to Ji Fengyuan’s purpose for saving you.

She knew from then on, Qi Zheng was likely nearby.

Only now with Qi Zheng’s appearance did she realize Ji Tingzhou was also here.

Ji Xizhi ignored Ji Fengyuan’s various outbursts and walked straight to Qi Zheng, raising her phone slightly.

“Police have been called, 120 is also on the way, should be quick, did you handle the rest?”

Qi Zheng walked to Ji Yezong, looked down to take a photo, replying, “Is there anything I can’t handle?”

Ji Xizhi thought likewise.

Thus she didn’t ask further.

Next to her, Ji Tingzhou slowly spoke, asking Ji Xizhi:

“You didn’t get hurt, did you?”

Ji Xizhi shook her head, “No.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Tingzhou fell silent.

Qi Zheng inspected Ji Yezong’s situation, then the group prepared to wait for the police to arrive.

Ji Fengyuan was completely ignored.

His expression gradually grew hideous, looking at Ji Tingzhou then at Qi Zheng, finally all anger directed towards Ji Xizhi who was nearest.

“Did you set me up?!”

Ji Fengyuan clenched his fists, swinging towards Ji Xizhi.

“I’m telling you, even if I’m not Mr. Ji, I’m still an actor, I’ll…”

Qi Zheng and Ji Tingzhou were both startled by Ji Fengyuan’s move, simultaneously stepping forward, ready to intervene.

Ji Fengyuan’s profanity was cut short.

“Riiip,” the sound of fabric tearing, as a slender long leg kicked straight towards Ji Fengyuan’s right cheek.

They couldn’t even see the leg lifting, next second it was retracted.

Together with the leg also returned was Ji Fengyuan’s advancing fist.

Qi Zheng and Ji Tingzhou, who were ready to roll up their sleeves and take action: “…”

Impressive.

Given Ji Xizhi’s combat ability, does she need to be saved by heroes?

Having Ji Fengyuan’s previous humiliating experience was enough.

It’s better everyone doesn’t self-insult, agreed?

Qi Zheng and Ji Tingzhou exchanged looks, simultaneously withdrawing their hands.

Ji Fengyuan got kicked in the face by Ji Xizhi, feeling a burning pain on his right cheek.

Though Ji Xizhi didn’t use much strength, kicking his face barefoot was highly humiliating.

Ji Fengyuan’s anger surged to the utmost, like a volcano erupting, spouting nonsense: “You ungrateful bitch! Tomorrow I’ll…”

Right when Ji Fengyuan was raging again.

Qi Zheng and Ji Tingzhou were already standing in front of Ji Xizhi.

Qi Zheng didn’t hit back, instead, he shouted back into the corridor.

“Are we acting like the Seven Gourd Brothers saving Grandpa here? Step out, Young Master Feng! Dr. Fang?”

Qi Zheng was calling out to Feng Qin and Dr. Fang Yuliang.

But instead, a large group came out.
