Chapter 225: 223: Unveiling the Puppeteer Behind the Scenes (Must Watch)

Translator: 549690339

Don’t take your heart condition lightly.

Actually.

Yan Jin didn’t mention it, and he almost forgot.

Here he was, lying in bed, listening to Yan Jin repeat medical orders over and over again.

And the reason Yan Jin repetitively explains is because he hardly listens.

Indeed, he wasn’t listening at the moment; he was just thinking about his heart condition.

The accident had seriously injured him.

He was 18 when a seemingly accidental but actually orchestrated car crash occurred. It didn’t injure his body, but his heart. As Yan Jin was the primary doctor in his rescue, his survival prognosis was grim several times. But ultimately, he survived – and thrived.

So, from that moment, he became friends with Yan Jin, and his genius but rarely seen son, Yan Zhen.

Yan Jin always considered him a medical miracle.

From the moment he was pronounced almost dead at the hospital, his strong will to live sustained his last vital signs. He miraculously survived a heart bypass surgery in spite of his poor health, gradually improving from being on the brink of death to being full of life now.

Even after his surgery, his heart became as strong as anyone else’s over the years.

This easily let people forget that his heart had been injured.

Seriously injured.

Back then, Yan Jin performed a series of major surgeries on him with the mindset that Ji Baijian would die, saving him by conducting human trials.

He remembered how Yan Jin, for a long time, looked at him as if he were a test subject, and so did his son.

The deep friendship between his son and Ji Baijian was indeed based on Ji Baijian’s unique bodily constitution for research.

Even after all these years, nothing worthwhile came out of it.

Actually, he was just a regular person.

“Are you listening to me?” Yan Jin asked.

Ji Baijian looked up.

“Forget it, go ahead and do whatever!” Yan Jin left.

Whatever he said, Ji Baijian wouldn’t listen.

Still, after all these years, Ji Baijian has been living a good life.

He was worried for nothing.

Ji Baijian watched Yan Jin leave and then watched Yin Qin appear from the doorway of the ward.

“Didn’t I ask you to work at the company?” Ji Baijian’s tone was a bit cold.

He didn’t want to think about the accident anymore. The facts are clear; he’s just waiting for the right time.

“It was your beloved wife who asked me to take care of you. I didn’t want to myself, but with her crying, as a man, I couldn’t say no.” Yin Qin was laughing easily.

Ji Baijian didn’t call him out on it.

“It’s true that Song Zhizhi asked me to accompany you,” Yin Qin exclaimed in disbelief at Ji Baijian’s skeptical expression.

“I know,” Ji Baijian nodded.

“Did Uncle Yan just mention something about your heart? Do you have a heart problem again? Didn’t he say it was all good before?” said Yin Qin, visibly worried.

“I’m fine.”

“You better not die,” Yin Qin said bluntly.

“I won’t die, ” Ji Baijian replied coldly.

“Then don’t, why do you have to be so grumpy!” Yin Qin retorted, plopping down beside Ji Baijian’s bed, “Speaking of which, have you found out who caused your car accident when you were 18?” Ji Baijian remained silent, not answering.

Yin Qin wasn’t the kind of person who often insisted on finding out the truth. He thought that Ji Baijian probably knew long ago and just hadn’t told him.

He couldn’t help but recall the past, “You were so badly hurt at that time; everyone thought you were going to die. I also thought you weren’t going to make it, but then you did. Ji Baijian, how can your life force be so strong?”

Ji Baijian still didn’t respond.

“By the way, you had heart surgery at that time! It must have been your stepmother, who let slip in front of the media that you were severely injured and that even if your body recovered, you wouldn’t be normal. The media misunderstood, and many decent girls in Jin City avoided you, including Song Zhizhi!” Yin Qin still didn’t understand, he added, “I wonder why, even if your heart wasn’t good, why didn’t you deny the rumors? Your stepmother seemed to want to deny them for you, but you declined. Why? What’s more, didn’t Uncle Yan later say that your heart was as normal as anyone else’s? It was a medical miracle. Why did you let rumors fly around?”

You know, it’s a matter of dignity!

How can it be slandered recklessly?

“Could it be that you actually…” Yin Qin suddenly exclaimed.

Ji Baijian frowned.

Despite getting used to Yin Qin’s bouts of dramatics over the years, he was still caught off guard by his sudden outburst.

“Please don’t string Song Zhizhi along. She, such a lovely girl, has already dedicated her life to you! I won’t say much about the past, but I didn’t realize how good Song Zhizhi is until we were in M country. Song Zhizhi truly loves you,” Yin Qin rambled on, “You were trapped under the ruins then, and Song Zhizhi made every effort to help you. Have you seen her hands? Full of scars from the digging…”

“I know,” Ji Baijian interrupted Yin Qin.

He knew that Song Zhizhi loved him very much.

At that time, he was underneath the ruins and heard Song Zhizhi calling his name.

Each call made him feel really distressed.

He wasn’t particularly afraid of death.

After all, everyone will die eventually.

But at that moment, he was actually afraid to die.

He was afraid that if he died, Song Zhizhi would be upset, very upset.

He pursed his lips slightly.

He knew Song Zhizhi loved him.

He also knew about Song Zhizhi’s disappointments.

“You knew, yet you’re holding her back.” Yin Qin complained. “I’m not what you think.” Ji Baijian didn’t want to explain any further.

Yin Qin was curious.

He was born with a gossiping nature, a perfect fit for the media industry.

“Should I explain this to you?”

“I’m just concerned about you.”

“Worry about yourself a little more. Think about whether your dad will break your legs if you back out of the wedding,” Ji Baijian abruptly changed the subject.

And Yin Qin was easily diverted.

So, at that moment, he went along with Ji Baijian’s words, “Let him beat me to death. I’m determined to call off this wedding.”

“That’s your decision.”

“You’re a businessman, right? If I call off the wedding, it wouldn’t benefit your family. Why are you supporting me?” Yin Qin was suddenly upset. “Ji Baixin doesn’t like you,” Ji Baijian stated bluntly.

Yin Qin felt hurt again.

“Even if you tried hard, she wouldn’t like you. If you married her, she would divorce you anyway, which would cause a worse impact.”

Yin Qin felt his injury was getting worse.

Is it true that in everyone’s eyes, Ji Baixin will never like him in this lifetime?

Should he have let go a long time ago?

And he still held a small glimmer of hope, wasn’t that too foolish?

He suddenly fell silent.

Ji Baijian looked at him, his eyes moving slightly.

There was no comfort offered in that moment.

Anyway, after all these years, the wounds that Yin Qin had suffered because of Ji Baixing were so numerous that he was utterly devastated.

He spoke seriously, “Yin Qin, I now suspect that the person who wants to kill Song Zhizhi’s family is the same person I’m up against.” Yin Qin looked at Ji Baijian. Slowly, questioning, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure.” Ji Baijian nodded.

He was absolutely certain.

But he did not tell Song Zhizhi, because…

“Did you tell Song Zhizhi?” Yin Qin asked.

Song Zhizhi surely would want to know who was inflicting harm on her family behind the scenes.

If it was already confirmed that they were fighting on the same side, it made no sense for Ji Baijian to withhold such information from Song Zhizhi.

Two people sharing mutual hate, a couple united, a perfect combination no matter how you look at it!

“I didn’t.” Ji Baijian replied outright.

‘Why are you still keeping it from her? Don’t you think this will drive a wedge between you two? I feel that Song Zhizhi must doubt you by now, not only her, but everyone who comes into contact with you must suspect your identity. Even I suspect you. But, since I am carefree, even if you scheme me to death, I’d be willing. However, in Song Zhizhi’s case that’s different. Together with you, Song Zhizhi hopes you can protect her and her family, but now you are making her doubt if you are helping or harming her. Do you think your relationship can withstand this?” Yin Qin did not understand what on earth Ji Baijian was thinking.

He admitted that Ji Baijian was indeed powerful, cunning, and incredibly strategic.

But when it came to matters of the heart, his actions were utterly exasperating.

He clearly harbored strong affections. Why couldn’t he be forthcoming?

Was there anything that two people in love couldn’t face together?

“I’m very clear about who wants to harm Song Zhizhi’s family, and I’m very clear that the same person is the one I’ve been wanting to confront! However…” Ji Baijian said to Yin Qin, “I now cannot guarantee that Song Shan is not my enemy.” “What do you mean?” Yin Qin was completely confused.

What was happening now?

Didn’t they just say that their common enemy was the same person?

How come Song Shan had suddenly become an enemy?

Ji Baijian explained, “It’S always puzzled me why the person who even Song Zhizhi had no knowledge of would go to such great lengths to murder her entire family. This kind of grand and well-thought-out scheme could have only been conceived over many years by someone incredibly clever and committed! I don’t believe it was all just to support Yi Wenhan. In fact, I feel that Yi Wenhan is merely being protected in this way, making his true identity unknown to everyone. The reason why they would bypass so many potential candidates in Commercial Management to target Song Shan in this way could perhaps be because…Song Shan might also be hiding many secrets unknown to others.”

“So, you know this secret?” Yin Qin asked him.

His heart was pounding at this point.

Would Ji Baijian be too powerful and all-knowing?

He was completely lost now and didn’t understand the cause of all these complications.

He had been somehow dragged into this labyrinth of complex issues, making him feel as if his brain cells weren’t enough to cope.

“No, I’m just suspecting.” Ji Baijian said, “I am suspicious that Song Shan has some hidden matters.

It’S just that without any confirmation, I don’t want to tell Song Zhizhi at this moment. I hope to nip all these matters in the bud before anything happens. ”

“So, you now want to put your plan into action.” Yin Qin didn’t want to dig too deeply now.

Ji Baijian nodded.

“What are you planning to do?” Yin Qin asked.

“First, pull that man off the historical stage.”

“Who?” Yin Qin asked, then muttered, “Ye Taiting from the Ye family.”

“Exactly.”

Yin Qin took a deep breath. Very deep.

When he decided to follow Ji Baijian wholeheartedly years ago, Ji Baijian had clearly told him it was dangerous.

Of course he wasn’t afraid. He was the high-and-mighty Master Yin, what had he to fear! He just loved hanging out with Ji Baijian. He was set on running with Ji Baijian’s crew.

Ji Baijian made it clear at the time, and they were not even 16 years old then.

Ji Baijian said: By the time I turn 30, I will take over the Commercial Management Organization and depose Ye Taiting.

What was this Commercial Management Organization? Even Yin Qin, who only knew how to party till then, had heard about it. Apparently, it was something a hundred times more powerful than his own family.

But he did not back down, nor was he scared.

As far as he was concerned, Ji Baijian couldn’t only take over the Commercial Management Organization, he could even take over the universe if he wanted to. He blindly worshipped him, considered him some kind of deity.

Despite all of this, he still doesn’t understand why Ji Baijian is so obsessed with the Commercial Management Organization. He thought about it in his spare time, it couldn’t just be a whim, there must have been some deep-seated hatred.

As for what the deep-seated hatred was, he couldn’t figure it out.

However, thinking about how Ji Baijian always had a smooth life, with money, good looks, and intelligence, he didn’t understand who Ji Baijian would work so hard against. He had grown up with him and had never noticed any enemies. One day, an idea struck him. He figured it out.

Ji Baijian must have been reborn, and his previous life might have ended tragically. Although it was a bit absurd, he could not find any other reason to explain Ji Baijian’s bizarre behavior.

Otherwise, considering Ji Baijian’s current net worth, he’s already rich enough to contend with countries. As for exactly how much, it’s hard to calculate, he still doesn’t have a clear number. But thinking about it, he probably has more than his father, Ji Yunlei.

With all this wealth and honor, why would he trouble himself by striving for something like this? The only reason would be because of his hatred.

There was a time when he thought he was very clever.

Ji Baijian never told him anything, but he’d still managed to guess it.

But now, Ji Baijian said it’s time to take action.

He suddenly felt unprepared.

They mentioned 30 years old before, but now they were only 25. Wasn’t it too early?!

Perhaps before making close contact with these things, he was fearless, but now, he feels his heart thrill with fear.

He thought Ji Baijian meant simply acquiring commercial rights when he talked about taking over the Commercial Management Organization, just like buying a company. But this situation was real, with live ammunition, one slip, and one could die.

Yin Qin took a deep breath, he said, “Have you thought about how you will resolve the conflict between you and Song Zhizhi? In Song Zhizhi’s mind, the Ye family has no heirs, everything she does now is to assist her father, you abruptly intervene, how do you plan to explain to her?”

“That’s why I want to confirm, what is Song Shan’s real purpose? Why was he considered a thorn in the side of Ye Taiting! But now, I don’t have the time to look into it.”

“Are you going to die?” Yin Qin was very upset.

Ji Baijian gave Yin Qin a glance.

Yin Qin touched his nose.

When everyone heard what Ji Baijian said, didn’t they all assume that his end was near?

Ji Baijian said, “Going to the M Country this time, is a premeditated trap. The group CEO didn’t disappear out of nowhere but was kidnapped, and the purpose was to lure me there. He should have known very well that my father would send me there, so he wanted to kill me to keep me quiet. And this man…”

Ji Baijian seemed lost in thought, and suddenly stopped talking.

“Who has you in their sights now?” Yin Qin frowned.

Please, Master Ji, don’t keep us in suspense just because you’re intelligent, we ordinary folks have limited brain cells, we can’t be compared to geniuses like you. Ji Baijian looked at Yin Qin as if he were an idiot, “Ye Taiting.”

Yin Qin smacked his own forehead.

How could he have been so stupid?

Hadn’t this just been discussed?

‘Why would he target you, does he know your objective? How would he know? After so many years, how could he suddenly find out? Did you do something in secret that he discovered? You’re such a cautious person, how could you have slipped up?!” Yin Qin had many questions.

Who could blame him for not knowing anything about it from beginning to end? He didn’t even know the reason, the process, or the result. He was already lucky to have made it to this point.

Don’t expect him to think of more..
