Chapter 303: Chapter 97: Gossip Time in Progress (Part 3)

Liu Xun adds, "Why does she think Brother Ji must be in trouble?"

Right!

Hu Ping sat up straight, his expression fearful, "Liu, you seem to have discovered something incredible."

The three figures put together a clear line of thought.

Ji Heng: "Because she wants to see me collapse, she first confirmed that my brother is definitely in trouble."

This is what Ji Li hadn’t finished saying when he told them about faking his death; he didn’t tell his younger brother he was in trouble.

Xue Huiyi clearly knew something had happened to Ji Li, yet chose to act ignorant.

The dormitory suddenly fell into silence.

Pan Mingjie, who was earning money through work at the school, came back and broke the silence.

"What are you guys looking at?"

The dormitory was full; Liu Xun excitedly explained to Pan Mingjie what had just happened.

"Brother Pan, what do you think this woman is trying to do?"

"What’s the benefit of Ji Li being in trouble and Ji Heng being upset?" Pan Mingjie asked rationally from the perspective of an outsider.

"Her engagement delay would be extended." Liu Xun’s thought on this, "Brother Hu, you have the most ideas, share your opinion."

"My thoughts are too negative, not suitable to say, it’s all speculation."

Hu Ping didn’t want to say, but couldn’t resist Liu Xun’s urging, "It’s not a big deal, Brother Ji’s engagement is bound to be undone, it’s not too much to say."

Ji Heng laughed at himself: "It’s okay, you see things clearly."

"Do you still have feelings for Xue Huiyi?" Hu Ping didn’t want to end up being the bad guy.

"It’s not feelings." Ji Heng denied.

His emotions towards Xue Huiyi were complex, being engaged for so long didn’t have the passion of lovers, yet it was considered a pleasant relationship.

At that time, he could foresee a future of mutual respect with Xue Huiyi.

Ji Heng didn’t mind a mundane life, yet couldn’t accept Xue Huiyi constantly plotting behind his back.

He said, "You can imagine, right? I treated her like family, and then suddenly one day, found her transformed completely, all fake. I was very angry, yet relieved. In my heart, there’s still a bit of familial love I can’t let go of, even if we flip sides, clear boundaries, I hope she can live well."

Reaching this point today, there were many reasons, Ji Heng couldn’t understand Xue Huiyi’s motives.

Why insist on maintaining this engagement, their personalities differ so much, they will eventually walk towards two extremes.

Hu Ping patted his good brother, offering his guess, "I’m just speculating based on Ji Heng’s future choices and Xue Huiyi’s career direction, not necessarily accurate, you can listen to it."

The three listened attentively, temporarily ignoring another message from Xue Huiyi.

"Ji Heng will definitely have to train in the military initially; it’s said Xue Huiyi will too, but she’s set her sights on the mecha custom designer position - a logistics role she can resign from anytime while still being welcomed by the military, a high-end career."

"As long as the engagement is delayed, drag it until Ji Heng enters the military, and then canceling the engagement would be indefinitely postponed. After all, Ji Heng has been engaged to her for so many years, suddenly calling it off, what would happen? Getting flamed online to the point of making promotions in the military impossible, unable to hold one’s head high even."

"What’s most terrifying is, Ji Li died, Ji Heng went far in the military, who would the Ji Family be passed to?"

Xue Huiyi has enough reputation, strong career ambition, willing to learn, otherwise she wouldn’t be able to study the Mecha Design Department discipline.

Showing some stupidity occasionally only in interpersonal skills and scheming calculation.

Count on being reborn after the teachings of the Ji and Xue Families.

This is the key point, considering the Ji Family’s long-term development, Ji Heng entering the military is inevitable, Ji Li taking over the Ji Family would be optimal, Ji Li’s business acumen and vision surpass many old hands in the business world. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

It’s a pity he is weak in body and quite individualistic, not controlled by family constraints.

If the Ji Family hasn’t had a next generation for a long time, who benefits?

"Scorpion Xue Zhen is involved in this affair, she most likely has channels to know Ji Li’s trouble, or even is the behind-the-scenes orchestrator."

Hu Ping had a strong hunch, this time Xue Huiyi can’t turn the tide, the engagement will definitely be canceled, won’t be delayed.

He rubbed his hands, telling Xue Huiyi about the "called the police station, but couldn’t reach anyone" incident.

Xue Huiyi replied instantly: "Don’t overthink, scaring yourself, Big Brother will definitely be fine."

"Yes, my brother will be fine, I’m contacting Mom and Dad now."

Ji Heng’s fingers trembled, accumulating an emotion known as hatred; he was born, grown up in a carefree environment without malice around.

The biggest malice might come from his brother’s lineage repression.

The biggest anxiety was his mentally unstable mother tightly controlling him.

He retained stable emotions, never deeply experiencing anger and hatred.

Even when faced with Insect Men killing masses of civilians, he only felt brief anger, then picked up his weapon to fight back.

If Xue Huiyi truly did something to harm Ji Li...

It would truly be crossing his bottom line.

At this moment, Xue Huiyi bit her lip, secretly pleased, Ji Heng indeed was a boy who couldn’t grow up, when trouble arises immediately seeks out parents.

"Big Brother will definitely be fine, I’ll come find you, go home with you or investigate at the police station together."

"I’ll go to the campus clinic first, the news was two hours ago, if Big Brother hasn’t got into trouble, he should be back, I’ll go check first." Ji Heng acted in avoidance, unwilling to face reality.

This was exactly what Xue Huiyi wanted, "Okay, I’ll come too. If... I mean if anything happened to Big Brother, you have to hold yourself together, I’m contacting Dad now, asking him to go to the police station to find news."

Xue Huiyi sent the message she had edited earlier to Xue Feiting, her father; Xue Feiting is career-minded, in a meeting, probably has his phone off.

To show concern for Ji Li, she also sent a message to her third uncle, who had wide connections.

Xue Feiqun doted on her, quickly replied, saying he would help her follow up.

Follow up, no matter what she does, her third uncle will protect her.

In matters concerning family interests and reputation, Xue Feiqun never messes around, even if she gets scolded.

This is her secret to staying domineering for so long from childhood.

With a protective third uncle, she grew up striding confidently all along.

On the way to the campus clinic, Xue Huiyi walked with a light step, feeling the clear sky, warm breezes, while others felt sweltering heat, she felt warmth; she was the protagonist by nature.

Having someone to cover everything, life must be lived like this to truly be enjoyable.

Xue Huiyi eagerly anticipated Ji Heng throwing himself into her arms; upon seeing Ji Heng she switched to a worried expression.

Outside the campus clinic door, stood four boys.

They were Ji Heng, Hu Ping, Liu Xun, and the other one, whose name Xue Huiyi forgot, a poor guy, not worth remembering.

The appearance of Ji Heng’s roommates left Xue Huiyi a bit surprised, "You’re all here, great, more people means more power."

Hu Ping replied, "Yes, the Ji Family is already quite powerful, plus me, it’s more than enough to explore news about Brother Ji."

Xue Huiyi couldn’t help but think Hu Ping’s face was too thick; the Hu Family’s connections were known in the upper circle.

If they truly had connections, he wouldn’t have been duped by "high-tech" talent for so many years.

"Why are you looking at me like this, I’ve already called Dad and Third Uncle; even though you say to cancel the engagement, I’ve considered Big Brother as if he were my own brother... Let’s hurry to the police station."

"Xue Huiyi, aren’t you going to look inside the campus clinic? You came in and immediately talked about going to the police station, without asking if we’ve seen Ji Li?" Ji Heng was utterly disappointed with Xue Huiyi, hatred seeping from his eyes, "How can you be so sure he’s not there?"

"I’m basing this on speculation; there are pictures online, people were live streaming at the time." Xue Huiyi remained calm, knowing that the streaming was done at Xue Feiqun’s request; whether images were captured didn’t matter, since the streamer died in the explosion.

"You’ve watched the livestream?"

Ji Heng, although straightforward, knows many of Xue Huiyi’s habits and character.

"Didn’t you say that celebrity livestreams were pointless? Was there someone who sent it to you? Who sent it to you?"
