Pampered by My Ex's Cousin-Chapter 658 - 650: Framed (8)
She turned her head, looking at the tightly shut study door with hopeful eyes.
Suddenly, the door to the study opened, and Ji Anning’s eyes lit up.
A tall figure rushed out, followed by an angry and stern interrogation, "What are you doing?"
Trying to be imposing, but lacking in authority.
A touch of disappointment flickered in Ji Anning’s eyes, and her lips drooped in dismay as she looked at Ji Jingfeng, who was striding towards her, feeling no surprise in her heart.
Seeing Ji Jingfeng advance to protect Ji Anning, Lin Yanqin blocked him and glared at him as she scolded, "Ji Jingfeng, Ji Anning has killed the old master, and the evidence is irrefutable."
Ji Jingfeng raised an eyebrow, "What evidence?"
Lin Yanqin said, "The doctor said there was something wrong with the medicine, and Ji Anning was the only one in the study at the time. Moreover, she had an argument with the old master, everyone heard it, who else could it be if not her?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingfeng countered, "Did you see with your own eyes that she was the one giving the medicine to grandfather? Just because the doctor said there was something wrong with the medicine, does that make it true?"
A simple question, but Lin Yanqin couldn’t answer immediately. Instead, she chose to morally bind him, accusing Ji Jingfeng, "At this point, you are still protecting this murderer? In vain, your grandfather cherished you so much, entrusting the entire family to you."
"Hmph!" Ji Jingfeng snorted coldly, "Great aunt, don’t speculate without evidence." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
With that, he stepped forward, reached for Ji Anning’s other arm, pulled her behind him, and then addressed the police, "Come back to arrest someone when you have evidence."
The several policemen who had listened to Lin Yanqin’s one-sided story were unsure again, looking at each other.
Then they looked at Ji Anning.
"Don’t block the way here."
The old master had dressed himself inside, and the housekeeper, with eyes reddened from crying, came out to disperse the crowd blocking the corridor at the entrance.
Next, Ji Chicheng came out. His tall figure stood among the crowd, drawing everyone’s gaze toward him, all waiting for him to deliver punishment.
Including the policemen.
Ji Anning also looked up at him, her eyes flashing with excitement, "Uncle."
After calling out, she prepared to move towards him.
Lin Yanqin suddenly spoke before her, "Chicheng, you see, now that the old master is dead, he rules over this family by himself, even trying to protect this murderer."
Ji Anning shook her head in denial, "I didn’t do it; I didn’t kill grandfather."
She was very afraid, more than ever before. She wasn’t afraid of being falsely accused and imprisoned, but afraid that he wouldn’t trust her.
If he didn’t say a word, just gave her a trusting look, even if the whole world thought she was a murderer, she wouldn’t mind.
Not just Ji Anning, everyone was waiting, waiting for Ji Chicheng, waiting for this man who now held the highest authority in the Ji Family to make his statement.
Finally, there was a slight relaxation on the firmly pressed lips of Ji Chicheng.
Ji Anning held her breath in nervousness, looking up at him.
"So now, are you going to transfer thirty-two percent of the shares to someone else?"
The indifferent tone, the frivolous arch of his eyebrows, everything expressed his distrust of her.
Ji Anning felt as if her heart was being ripped apart, the pain so intense that her body convulsed. She opened her mouth, her lips trembling for a while before she could finally make a sound.
"What do you mean?"
Her nose and the corners of her eyes grew sour, and her eyes instantly filled with tears, swirling within them.
