Chapter 940: I Never Forgot Him
After so many years, this was the first time Ji Haoyu had heard the word ‘Dad’ from his sister.
In fact, Ji Haoyu had never avoided the fact that his father was missing. What he was really worried about was his sister. If he did not mention it, the Ji family would not dare to mention it. What he was most afraid of was angering Old Master Ji and making Ji Haoxue sad.
When Ji Yansong left back then, Ji Haoxue was not even six years old.
Ji Haoyu felt the confusion and sourness in Ji Haoxue’s tone. It was as if something had struck his heart hard. He walked to Ji Haoxue’s side and gently pulled her into his arms, trying to give her comfort and a sense of security.
“I’ve never forgotten him,” Ji Haoyu said softly.
This was not comfort, but over the years, Ji Haoyu had never given up on finding his father. Even the initial goal of the establishment of the ‘Blaze’ organization was to find the missing Ji Yansong.
The world was huge, but it was impossible for a person to disappear into thin air. To Ji Haoyu, his father must have had difficulties that others did not know about. Before he saw his father’s corpse, he always believed that his father was still alive.
“Brother, will you find him?” Ji Haoxue leaned against Ji Haoyu’s chest and muttered softly.
Ji Haoyu tightened his arms and hugged his sister even tighter as if giving her strength. “Don’t worry, Brother will find him.”
Ji Haoxue paused for a moment and said firmly, “I believe you.”
In the evening, Ji Haoyu drove Ji Haoxue back to the Ji residence.
This family banquet was the grandest and most lively in the Ji family in the past two months. Not only were the Ji family’s second and third master present, but Ji Haoyu’s second uncle, Ji Yanbai, and third uncle, Ji Yansen, were also present.
Other than that, even collateral relatives of the Ji family in Baiyun City had rushed over. It was obvious that they had received Old Master Ji’s instructions, and the scene was comparable to Old Master Ji’s birthday.
Just from the atmosphere of the family banquet, everyone knew that something big was about to happen. As for what it was, it was not difficult for everyone to guess.
Ji Haoyu arrived in a casual outfit. As soon as he entered the Ji residence, he saw many Ji family members he had not seen for a long time. When these people saw Ji Haoyu, they surrounded him.
Concerning words with a flattering attitude sounded incessant. Ji Haoyu calmly chatted with everyone and seemed friendly.
The old man was dressed in a dark blue Tang suit. He was glowing and smiling and looked like he was in a good mood.
After taking their seats, Ji Haoyu sat beside the old man as usual. It was rare for the Ji family to gather so livelily. The atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious. Everyone chatted and raised their glasses, even laughter rose and fell.
After three rounds of drinking, Old Master Ji drank a few more glasses. At this moment, he suddenly stood up slowly. Seeing this, everyone looked over. The noisy hall instantly fell silent.
Everyone was waiting for the old man to speak. Everyone knew that the old man had something to announce.
“I believe everyone knows that I have something to tell everyone since I called everyone here today,” Old Master Ji said slowly. He sounded sober.
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Ji looked at Ji Haoyu beside him with a smile in his eyes. Then, he slowly said, “I’ve been busy for most of my life for the Ji Group. This bunch of old bones is almost at the end.”
