Chapter 449: Chapter 448: Cannot Refuse

The elegant man had been secretly captured and taken to a special department, so the people from the International Black Alliance didn’t know about it.

The special department had ways, not only did it find many important clues from his mobile but also extracted many things from the man’s mouth.

Zhen Da was invited for a "tea talk" and firmly denied that the man in the video was Shi Ji, insisting it was Ji Xinghang.

The related department got the original video file from her computer, and it still showed Shi Ji, she couldn’t explain it clearly.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, she had to admit that her resistant actions in the video were just for fun.

Shi Ji hadn’t forced her, and she wouldn’t sue him.

It was precisely because of this that, under the operations of Shi Ji’s lawyers, both were let go.

Upon release, Shi Ji coldly said a few warning words to Zhen Da, which were captured by the paparazzi and uploaded online.

Likewise, the relevant department also released the investigation results, Zhen Da admitted that it was just playful antics between girlfriend and boyfriend, and there was no coercion involved.

Thus, it was conclusively hammered down that Shi Ji was Zhen Da’s sugar daddy.

On the film set, Director Mo was very angry, directly fired Zhen Da, and quickly found another actress to replace her.

As for Shi Ji, he simply ignored her, considering her a pawn not worth his trouble.

With no other options, Zhen Da had to look to Ji Xinghang to take responsibility, indirectly saying it was him that day.

Ji Xinghang had always been venomously tongue, tempering it only around Luo Ning but absolutely unrestrained with others.

Moreover, Ji Xinghang deliberately played dirty, when he saw Zhen Da rushing to stop him, he instructed his assistant to start a live stream with his phone.

Thus, when she boldly pursued him demanding responsibility, it was seen by online viewers.

Of course, Ji Xinghang denied the events of that night, especially since Luo Ning had helped him erase all evidence.

Seeing Ji Xinghang stubbornly denying and even cursing her for being shameless, Zhen Da, unaware the assistant had started a live stream, immediately changed her tactic.

She tried to seduce him, pleading for his help.

She even stripped off most of her clothes.

Seeing this, Ji Xinghang was frightened away, leaving the fans heartbroken.

This time, even bystanders couldn’t stand it anymore; Zhen Da was being too shameless and indecent.

Hence, Zhen Da’s Weibo was tormented to the extent she was forced to shut it down, and she faced vandals targeting her house with paint, scared to be recognized when she stepped outside.

Another day passed, and Lu Xun and Luo Ning gathered those who had fallen victim to trafficking.

Luo Ning held a ritual, destroyed the mediums that siphoned luck from these people, and dispelled their curses.

Not only did the Feng Shui Masters of the International Black Alliance who had laid out these spells undergo retribution, but Zhen Da and others as media suffered severely too.

Already unfortunate, and now struck by retribution, Zhen Da was completely down on her luck.

She was not only banned in the entertainment circle but was also sent by Shi Ji’s people to work at the lowest class club at the border, turning to the flesh trade.

Women who approached Xia Mian to take advantage suffer from retribution too, accidentally ending up in the hospital, paralyzed from the waist down.

Others who did the same met with no better fate.

Of course, that’s a story for another time.

In a villa,

Shi Ji’s face carried an unusual rage, holding a whip, continually lashing at the men and women crouched and covering their heads in the living room.

These people didn’t dare resist, only bearing it by gritting their teeth.

After venting sufficiently, Shi Ji instructed the butler to take the people away, threw his gloves on the table, and then sat down to gulp a cup of cold tea.

Sitting across from him was Shi Ji, watching indifferently.

Shi Ji finished his herbal tea, looking at Shi Ji and said, "If you’re feeling upset, you need to let it out, or you’ll make yourself sick."

Shi Ji’s face was cold, "I don’t have such a twisted hobby as you."

He raised an eyebrow, "Did you call me here just to watch you vent?"

Shi Ji chuckled, "Of course not."

"The Luck Changing Array was completely destroyed by Lu Xun and people from the Ancient Fengshui Family, and all our people who were sent to steal the luck, except for Xue Ying, were wiped out."

Mentioning these two incidents, his face inevitably darkened, "Our plan has to be put on hold."

Shi Ji said dryly, "And then? What does this have to do with me?"

Whether it was the Luck Changing Array or the luck-stealing mission, it was all managed by Shi Ji.

"It had nothing to do with you before, but now it does."

Shi Ji knew his brother was cold and didn’t beat around the bush, "I have a mission for you."

Shi Ji looked at him and asked, "What mission?"

Shi Ji honestly said, "I’ve received information that Luo Ning will soon follow the Luo Family Patriarch back to the Luo Family. You should find an opportunity to go with them."

"Why should I go to the Luo Family?" Shi Ji raised his eyebrow again, "Are you targeting the Ancient Fengshui Family now?"

Shi Ji played with the cup in his hand, "The Ancient Fengshui Family has hoarded too many resources, and it’s a waste in their hands. It’s better for us to help deplete them."

"The repeated failures of our plans have caused significant losses, and the higher-ups want to compensate from within the Ancient Fengshui Family."

Shi Ji frowned, "Aren’t you afraid of losing even what you already have? The Ancient Fengshui Family is not that easy to deal with."

"Besides, there’s no reason to attack directly. It could get messy if the other side decides to fight back to the death."

Shi Ji replied, "For the grand scheme of the headquarters, we can’t care much about that."

He added, "Lu Xun is investigating our bases in Imperial Capital and other places, planning to have people from the Ancient Fengshui Family lead the raid."

"That just gives us a perfect excuse for revenge."

Shi Ji thought for a moment with his head lowered, "Then how should I go with Luo Ning?"

"Luo Ning is very clever. If I approach her with a made-up reason, she won’t believe me."

Shi Ji also found Luo Ning troublesome; not only was she powerful, but also exceptionally intelligent.

Unfortunately, both he and Shi Ji had tried but failed to subdue her. Luo Ning was a rational woman and wouldn’t fall into any romantic traps they set.

He questioned, "You should know her well, how do you think you can get her to take you with her?"

Shi Ji looked squarely at Shi Ji, "Tell the truth, just say we want to target the Ancient Fengshui Family, and I’m going ahead to scout."

"Luo Ning hates the Luo Family, and Lou Ranran wants to destroy the Lou Family. I don’t think they will refuse."

Shi Ji closed his eyes to consider the feasibility of this plan.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, "Alright, give it a try."

Shi Ji nodded, "Okay."

Then he stood up, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."

Shi Ji got up to walk him out, and as they reached the door, he whispered in his ear, "As a brother, I just advise you, don’t let yourself really fall for someone, or it’ll be miserable for you."

Shi Ji sneered, "Like you, to become an emotionless puppet?"

Shi Ji’s face stiffened briefly, but then he smiled meaningfully and said, "That’s why we are brothers in difficulty, to break free from this shackle, we still need to cut through completely."

The volume of his voice was even lower than before, audible only to the two of them.

Shi Ji looked at him indifferently, didn’t say a word, and walked away.

Shi Ji watched his departing figure with a smile, then turned and went back to the villa.
