Ji Wuli's expression changed drastically when he saw the tiger-shaped jade pendant in Ye Tiance's hand!
It seemed that he didn't expect Ye Tiance to ask this suddenly.
His lips trembled as he said, "This... I already told you this at the birthday party that day..."
At the birthday party a few days ago, Ji Wuli said that the jade pendant was sold to him by Ye Tiance's grandfather Ye Shuangying when the Ye family encountered financial difficulties.
Ye Tiance immediately judged that this was obviously a lie.
Therefore, Ye Tiance risked his life to participate in the Hongmen Banquet today, ostensibly to collect 220 million in arrears.
In fact, it is to find out the truth about the tiger-shaped jade pendant!
Therefore, Ye Tiance did not kill Ji Wuli directly, but spared his life to ask for the truth!
Ye Tiance put the pistol against his head.
He said coldly: "Remind you, it's best to tell the truth, otherwise I don't mind letting you go down to meet your cousin immediately!"
Feeling the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead.
Ji Wuli was so frightened that he was trembling all over, sweat dripping down his face.
He quickly said: "Don't! I said, I said it's not okay, please don't shoot!"
Ji Wuli sighed.
A flash of fear flashed in his eyes and he replied: "This... jade pendant was indeed not sold to me by your grandfather, but was given to me by a mysterious person one night fifteen years ago."
Ye Tiance raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mysterious man? Who is it?"
Ji Wuli hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't know him either. His face was covered and he couldn't see his face clearly. That night, this man forced his way into my house and easily injured all the bodyguards.
I thought he was here to rob me of money, but unexpectedly he handed a tiger-shaped jade pendant into my hand and ordered me to do one thing. If I couldn't do it, he would kill me! "
Ye Tiance asked: "What happened?"
Ji Wuli replied: "The man asked me to keep this jade pendant and not tell anyone about it, but after 15 years, he asked me to find a way to make this jade pendant public and let Jiangnan City Everyone knows that the jade pendant is in my hand!
Alas, it is precisely because of this that I thought of using the birthday banquet to hold an auction and make it public! "
Ye Tiance frowned and asked, "Why did you agree to him?"
Ji Wuli said helplessly: "You don't know, that mysterious man is so terrifying, he feels like a monster, even scarier than a monster.
He asked me to do this, otherwise... otherwise, everyone in our Ji family would be slaughtered. In order to survive, I had no choice but to agree to him, and then the mysterious man left! "
Ye Tiance narrowed his eyes slightly!
I can't help but wonder why that mysterious man did this?
It feels like it was done on purpose.
He continued to ask: "When you got the jade pendant, didn't you know its origin?"
Ji Wuli said truthfully: "After the mysterious man left, I realized that this jade pendant seemed to be the one worn by the head of the Ye family.
Sure enough, not long after, I received news that the Ye family suddenly encountered a fire, and all nine members of the family were killed in the flames! "
Ye Tiance's expression turned cold.
"What do you mean, the mysterious person who gave you the jade pendant that night was the suspect who set my Xiao family on fire?"
Ji Wuli shook his head repeatedly and said: "I didn't say that! I don't know if there is any connection between the two!
Anyway, I followed the mysterious man's request and hid the jade pendant until a few days ago, when I announced that it was going to be auctioned. Unexpectedly... you photographed it. This can be regarded as returning it to its original owner, haha. "
Ji Wuli laughed awkwardly.
But when he noticed Ye Tiance's cold expression, he immediately shrank his neck and closed his mouth.
When Ye Tiance heard this, his heart was already in turmoil!
He never knew that on the night of the fire in Ye's house 15 years ago, something like this actually happened in Ji's house.
Who is the mysterious man?
Why did he give his grandfather's jade pendant to Ji Wuli for safekeeping?
And why was Ji Wuli made public after 15 years?
At this moment, he had a strong intuition.
Behind every question, there must be a very important secret!
"Let me ask you, has that mysterious man appeared again in these years since he left?"
Ji Wuli shook his head and said: "It has never appeared before, as if this person has never appeared in the world."
However, he paused and continued: "But I don't know if it's my misunderstanding. I always feel that this person seems to be watching me somewhere in the dark. As long as I don't follow his request back then, I might end up with a different head." Got married!
Mr. Ye, this is all I know about this jade pendant. There is not a single lie. Please let me live! "
With that said, Ji Wuli kowtowed to Ye Tiance a few more times!
Ye Tiance said: "What's the rush? I have one last question!"
"You say."
Ye Tiance stared at him and asked coldly: "Did you know some inside information about the fire in our Ji family 15 years ago?"
Ji Wuli was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and said: "This fire has nothing to do with our Ji family! Although the relationship between the Ji family and the Ye family was normal back then, it was far from the point of becoming enemies, so..."
Ye Tiance raised his hand and interrupted: "Of course I know it wasn't your Ji family who did it. If it was, do you think you can still kneel down and talk to me now?"
Ji Wuli wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He nodded angrily and said: "Yes, yes..."
He continued: “I really don’t know the inside information, but after the fire in Ye’s house, I discovered something very strange.
That is, a certain family in our Jiangnan City suddenly closed their doors for three whole months. They had no contact with the outside world and had no idea what happened.
Later, I had a casual chat with the head of the family about the fire in the Ye family at a dinner party, but the other party seemed to be very secretive and unwilling to discuss this topic.
I always feel that their family seems to know some information about the Ye family fire. Of course, these are all my personal guesses! "
Ye Tiance asked coldly: "Which family is it?"
Ji Wuli hesitated and replied: "The Liu family in Jiangnan City!"
"Liu family?"
Ye Tiance narrowed his eyes slightly!
The Liu family in Jiangnan City is one of the three major families in Jiangnan City together with the Han family and the Ji family.
Unlike the other two families, the Liu family has kept a low profile for many years and rarely makes an appearance in the business circles of Jiangnan City.
But everyone knows that the Liu family is the strongest and most powerful family among the three major families in Jiangnan City.
Far from comparable to the Ji family!
But this is not important to Ye Tiance. If the Liu family is really related to the Ye family fire 15 years ago, he will dig out any information!
Ye Tiance took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Today, for the sake of your truthful explanation, I will spare your life. I advise you to behave yourself in the future. If you do any unjust things, you will be killed!"
After saying that, he casually threw the pistol into Ji Wuli's arms and left in a swaggering manner.
Ji Wuli, who was holding a pistol, instinctively wanted to pick it up and shoot Ye Tiance in the back!
A shameful apology!
But after several struggles in my heart.
After all, he still didn't dare to take action and watched Ye Tiance leave Ji's house...
