Ninth In the World

Chapter 35 - Capturing Di Jiu



“Okay!” said the teenage girl. She stood up and said in a firm tone, “Di Jiu’s real name is Di Zimo. He is the eldest son of Di Wencheng from the Swallow Capital. His mother, Xi Xiumei, is the heir to the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. Di Jiu left the Swallow Capital five years ago to study in Luo Jin. When he was in third grade, he failed his examinations and his family did not help him complete his education. They left him in Luo Jin, where Di Jiu married Shen Ziyu. The two of them got divorced shortly after one year of marriage.”

“Di Jiu was adopted by Di Wencheng, which means that Di Ziheng is the real heir to the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. Di Jiu then left Luo Jin and disappeared for a year. It was not that long ago that he returned to Luo Jin and found a job at the Apricot Lake Hall. While he worked there, he was asked to represent Tan Yueyue at Su You’s birthday party. That’s when Bi Zhengsheng found him…”

The teenage girl paused and stood in a corner. She did not need to explain what had happened afterwards, as Bi Zhengsheng had already described it in full detail.

Jia Qian looked at Bi Zhengsheng, who was kneeling on the floor, and said lightly, “Did you already know this?”

“I did not. Please punish me, Master.” Bi Zhengsheng was sweating profusely. He had not even had the slightest idea about the facts the teenage girl had reported. He had not even known that Di Jiu’s real name was Di Zimo.

However, he knew clearly how scary his master could be. He’d once had a senior brother who had used his master’s name to negotiate with the Southeast Asian Mafia, also known as Giant Owl. The two sides had signed an agreement without informing his master. When his master had found out about the incident, his senior brother had gone missing and the business in Southeast Asia had been handed over to a junior brother.

“You did not know anything, yet you still took action. On top of that, you also exposed the Morgue Ring’s existence over a woman…” Jia Qian suddenly looked enraged. He grabbed the mug in front of him and smashed it.

The mug was smashed against Bi Zhengsheng’s forehead. Blood, mingled with hot tea, poured down his face. He did not dare to move. Ironically, Bi Zhengsheng actually felt relieved.

He was more afraid when his master hid his emotions. If his master had expressed his anger openly, then his life would most likely be spared.

Di Jiu’s huge backpack and tender age did not make him look like a skilled medical practitioner. It was possible that he might not even get past the entrance this time.

“Mr. Ji has told us to not let anyone step into the premises. Do I need to call the police?” the tall guard said, mimicking Di Jiu’s words.

If this had been just about money, Di Jiu would have left. However, he had gone there for the auction tickets.

He did not know anyone in the Swallow Capital. All he knew was that, according to Hu Qianli, he would be able to get auction tickets there.

Despite the fact that he had travelled to the Fairy Planet in the past, Hu Qianli had only told Di Jiu where to obtain an auction ticket. He had not been able to offer any more help. Di Jiu knew that, without the Ji Family’s assistance, it would be impossible for him to obtain an auction ticket before the start of the auction.

Di Jiu observed his surroundings. The residents there were extremely wealthy, so security around the neighborhood was really strict. However, if he was determined to enter, there would surely be a way to do so.

Barging into the premises by force would not do. The only way to enter was to do so stealthily.

When he saw the sky darken, Di Jiu decided to sneak in during the night. It would not matter if the Ji Family believed him or not. All he would have to do was cure Ji Xiaoting’s illness.
