In the face of Lin Suyin's questioning, a trace of malice flashed between Ji Feng's brows, but that trace of malice disappeared in an instant. "Young Miss, your words are too disappointing. The president knows best how much I've done for the Three Lotus Society over the years! Now that you're questioning me like this, I really don't know how to feel. "
In the face of such an unexpected situation, Ji Feng's adjustment was extremely quick. He immediately began to play the pity card and the merit card, because he had indeed contributed greatly to the Three Lotus Association. This was something that Lin Sihai could not deny, and the other hall masters could not deny as well. Even Wu Yuandong, who hated Ji Feng the most, clearly remembered Ji Feng's contributions.
"Young Miss, when you were eight years old, you and the president were worshipping ancestors at Empty Mountain. When we were surrounded by enemies, it was I who rescued you and the president with my own strength. The bullet wound on my body is still there. You can't have forgotten the bullet I took for the president, right?" Ji Feng said, "When you were 16 years old, the president held a birthday party for you on the cruise ship. Someone bribed the captain to take us to the high seas to harm us. I was also the first to discover it and stop it, preventing the tragedy from happening. You should remember all this, right? I've always done everything for the Three Lotus Society, and now you're questioning me like this … "
When Lin Suyin heard this, she began to feel a little dazed. Ji Feng's contributions to the Three Lotus Society were definitely not limited to these things. There were many, many more. Many of Lin Sihai's affairs could be properly handled by Ji Feng. These were all intangible contributions. The reason Ji Feng's position in the Three Lotus Society was only below the president was because Lin Sihai had seen everything he did.
Although Lin Suyin's heart had begun to waver, this was definitely not a reason for Lin Sihai to waver.
If it was because of these things, Lin Sihai wouldn't have to suspect Ji Feng, and he wouldn't have rushed here because of his daughter's words. It was because Lin Suyin had told Lin Sihai all the things she had heard from Xu Yun. Although there was no evidence, Lin Sihai believed that no one could fabricate such a realistic story.
Perhaps these words were really conveyed to Lin Sihai by Xu Yun or Wu Yuandong, and Lin Sihai would not believe them. But because these words came from his own daughter, Lin Sihai could really listen to them calmly and seriously distinguish whether these words were true or not.
Lin Sihai did not believe in Wu Yuandong, nor did he believe in Xu Yun. Instead, he chose to believe in his own daughter.
"Ji Feng, I remember all your contributions to the Three Lotus Association very clearly." Lin Sihai said, "I didn't let your contributions go to waste. In the Three Lotus Group, everyone knows that you're an existence second only to one person. Everyone in the Three Lotus Group, including Di Zihang, Long Liang Group, Hang Guangli, and Shi Lunjun, thinks so. What I've given you is definitely not wrong. "
Ji Feng nodded and said, "Yes, President. I know how highly you think of me. That's why I'm willing to do anything for the Three Lotus Association. That's why I'm willing to help the Three Lotus Association deal with the traitor!"
"Ji Feng," Lin Sihai said calmly, "Contributions are contributions, and mistakes are mistakes. I can't turn a blind eye to your mistakes just because of your contributions to the Three Lotus Association. I hope you can admit to one thing. Have you ever had dealings with the Japanese? This isn't the first time someone has mentioned it to me. It's also not the first time your teahouse has received Japanese. I may be old, but I'm not blind. "
Ji Feng's Adam's apple bobbed, and his expression became nervous. "President, I … I … have indeed had Japanese come to my teahouse. But I'm just making money. I … I really haven't done anything to betray the Three Lotus Association."
"According to criminal psychology, when a person has a guilty conscience, he will stutter for no reason." Xu Yun suddenly said, "And because of nervousness, it will cause excessive secretion of saliva in the mouth. Swallowing saliva is also a sign that you have a guilty conscience."
Just as Xu Yun finished speaking, Ji Feng's Adam's apple bobbed again.
Lin Sihai glanced at Xu Yun. He knew what Xu Yun was talking about. He had also noticed that many times when he mentioned the Japanese, Ji Feng would have this reaction of swallowing saliva. This was also one of the reasons why Lin Sihai believed his daughter today.
It wasn't that he didn't suspect Ji Feng, but because his trust in Ji Feng far exceeded his suspicions, he didn't pay attention to Ji Feng's reactions.
But now, he had no choice but to face this problem head-on. "Ji Feng, give me a reasonable explanation. I will still choose to believe you and not an outsider."
The outsider Lin Sihai was referring to was naturally Xu Yun. Lin Sihai admitted that he admired Xu Yun, but this wasn't a reason for him to trust Xu Yun. Admiration and trust were two completely different concepts. Even if Ji Feng was proven wrong today, Lin Sihai still wouldn't trust an outstanding young man that he had only met once.
"President, what kind of explanation do you want?" Ji Feng said, "I've said it very clearly. I didn't reject the Japanese who came to the teahouse because I wanted to earn money. I swear I've never had tea with a Japanese!"
"If you haven't had tea with a Japanese, have you had dinner with a Japanese?" Lin Sihai asked.
Ji Feng denied it immediately and answered with certainty, "No! Absolutely not! "
"Okay, you're right. I've already asked Long Lianghui to arrange for people to retrieve the civilian surveillance footage of your teahouse and a Japanese restaurant. " Lin Sihai smiled. "I believe there will be a result soon. If there really isn't a Japanese who brought you to a Japanese restaurant for dinner, I'll immediately kill Wu Yuandong and his' fabricating 'friend."
Ji Feng's Adam's apple bobbed crazily again.
"But if there really is a Japanese who brought you to a Japanese restaurant for dinner in the surveillance footage, then I'm afraid I can't do as you wish." Lin Sihai's voice was filled with irresistible majesty.
Long Lianghui's phone rang. He asked Lin Sihai with his eyes as he picked up the phone. "Speak."
Lin Sihai would face any result calmly. He quietly waited for Long Lianghui to tell him the result and the answer.
"Okay, got it. There's nothing else for you to do. Go do your own thing." Long Lianghui hung up the phone and met Lin Sihai's gaze. "President, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. There was indeed a Japanese who drove to the teahouse to pick up Ji Feng and brought him to a Japanese restaurant for dinner."
Ji Feng's heart dropped to the bottom of the valley.
"Phew …" Lin Sihai sighed in disappointment. "Ji Feng, what do you want me to say about you?"
"President! Just a meal can't prove anything! " Ji Feng tried his best to explain. "If I've done something to let down the Three Lotus Association, then I deserve to die. But I really didn't do anything!"
Lin Sihai closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. "You should know very well what kind of attitude I have towards the Japanese. Why are you so close to the Japanese? Ji Feng, you really didn't do anything to let down the Three Lotus Association. But this only makes me more suspicious. If you do something to let down the Three Lotus Association, then even I won't be able to save you. "
"President … President … I swear on my life …" Wu Yuandong gathered what little strength he had left and gasped for breath. "Ji Feng … he really wants to … usurp the throne …"
Usurp the throne.
When this word came out of Wu Yuandong's mouth, everyone fell silent. This was definitely a taboo among taboos.
"Wu Yuandong, I should've killed you three years ago! Then you wouldn't have to talk so much nonsense! " Ji Feng was suddenly enraged. He suddenly exerted his strength and rushed toward Ji Feng. At this moment, he only had one thought in his mind, and that was to rip Wu Yuandong's heart out! Let him regret his decision to return to being gay before he dies!
Fortunately, Xu Yun didn't let down his guard against Ji Feng. Before Ji Feng could make a move, Xu Yun stood in front of Ji Feng and sneered. "Hall Master Ji, you seem to have forgotten that your opponent should be me."
Ji Feng stepped back to avoid Xu Yun. He suddenly shed all pretense of cordiality and completely exposed his hidden scheme. "Alright, since things have come to this, I have nothing to hide anymore! President, I didn't want to do this to you at first, but you forced me to do this today! "
Lin Sihai didn't say anything. He just shook his head helplessly. The person he valued the most had publicly betrayed him at this moment. This kind of loss was something no one else could ever feel. In addition, Lin Sihai's heart wasn't just lost. He also blamed himself. For the past three years, he had wronged Wu Yuandong. He had wronged this loyal person who reminded him not to raise a tiger.
What else could make Lin Sihai feel worse than this? Of course there was …
"Hang Guangli, Shi Lunjun! How long do you two want to pretend! "Ji Feng said," It's already at this time, why aren't you making a move! Have you forgotten the oath to split the world with me? "
Ji Feng wasn't the only traitor. There was also Hang Guangli of Deep Earth Hall and Shi Lunjun of Clear Water Hall.
This blow was definitely quite heavy for Lin Sihai. He really didn't expect that he would fall for someone who had been so good at judging people his whole life. There were five most important hall masters under him, and three of them had bad intentions towards him.
Hang Guangli and Shi Lunjun didn't continue to pretend after being exposed. Fortunately, Di Zihang and Long Lianghui were still by Lin Sihai's side. They immediately forced the two to the side.
"Shi Lunjun! Do you know what you are doing? " Di Zihang shouted angrily. "If you didn't have the president's support, do you think you can be a hall master? You actually repay kindness with evil and treat the president's trust like this. Are you still a human? "
Shi Lunjun didn't have the intention to repent. "If Brother Feng didn't let Wu Yuandong leave, I wouldn't have the chance to be the hall master of Clear Water Hall!"
"If Shi Lunjun isn't a human, then what about you, Hang Guangli?" Long Lianghui sneered and said to Hang Guangli, "You were promoted by the president. Is this how you should be grateful?"
"I can reach this step today by relying on my own ability!" Hang Guangli said, "My ability is not under you and Di Zihang, but because I am younger than you, the president won't give important things to me! Why should I be willing to be under you all the time?! "
Power, this thing was really subtle. Lin Sihai suddenly realized at this moment that it wasn't someone else who caused the situation today, but himself. It was he who destroyed his capable helpers. But it was helpless that no one in the world could be impartial. There would always be people who felt unfair. This was always inevitable.
