The Ji Family seemed to be precariously placed currently and was on the verge of collapsing.
That worried Jing Yiran a great deal.
If Family Ji fell and Ji’s Enterprise announced bankruptcy, then the shares of Ji’s Enterprise which he held would become worthless.
He had staked a great deal on this gamble, and now he felt that it was not going to payoff.
The shares of Jingsheng Enterprise were worth a lot of money and if Ji Bo did not return the shares to him, then it would be the worst deal for him.
Jing Yiran was thinking about how to get the shares back, but that was not the key point at the moment.
What mattered more was how to get rid of Jing Yichen!
If Family Ji fell, then he would lose a very strong support. He had come to Ji Bo only because he thought that the family was powerful enough to help him fight Jing Yichen!
He had to do something before Family Ji fell.
Yang Muyan had the same idea as Jing Yiran.
She also felt that the Ji Family of the present day could not guarantee her security. Ji Lili was annoying and deserved to die, yet she could not do anything about her at the moment. Otherwise Family Ji would kill her before Jing Yichen did.
She would not have been in a safe position had it not been the large amount of capital she had in her pocket, which could be useful for the Ji Family under current circumstances.
They spoke with each other over the phone and decided to meet to make a plan.
When Ji Bo reached Yang Muyan’s place, he saw them sitting in the living room, whispering something to each other.
Ji Bo could guess that they were up to no good without even listening to what they were talking about.
Jing Yiran and Yang Muyan looked up at him and nodded. Jing Yiran said to Ji Bo, “We have a plan and we need your help!”
“What plan? What help?”
“We plan to get all the shares of Jingsheng Enterprise so Jing Yichen can become broke before we kill him.”
Jing Yiran made it sound so easy, yet Ji Bo felt that he had received a blow.
Ji Bo frowned without showing much and asked, “How are you going to do it?”
Robbing Jing Yichen would not work, because that meant getting one killed.
After Jing Yiran told him about the general plan, Ji Bo felt cold sweat trickling down his neck.
He made an excuse to visit the bathroom and made a call to Jing Yichen, immediately. “Master Jing, make sure that Shangguan Ning does not step outside home in the following days. Jing Yiran and Yang Muyan are planning to kidnap her to threaten you to give up shares of Jingsheng Enterprise. Keep her guarded and make sure she doesn’t go out, no matter who asks her to!”
Ji Bo was truly anxious.
He was anxious, not only because he had collaborated with Jing Yichen, but also because deep inside him, he did not want anything bad to happen to Shangguan Ning.
When he was on the phone with Jing Yichen, he could hear Shangguan Ning’s happy chatter behind. He hoped that Shangguan Ning could give birth to the baby smoothly and be a happy mother.
If she was kidnapped, those kidnappers would not care if she was pregnant and would definitely harm her.
Yang Muyan had mentioned that she had already found the kidnappers, and they were very fierce.
She wanted Shangguan Ning to have a miscarriage and had a large amount of musk ready for Shangguan Ning when she sent Tang Yun and Shangguan Rouxue the last time round.
If he had not discovered it in time, the consequences would have gone beyond imagination.
Ji Bo did not have much hope about Shangguan Ning. He was well aware that Shangguan Ning had never loved him in that way. Now, all he wanted was that she could live a steady life.
He had been with many women, and Shangguan Ning was definitely not the most beautiful one amongst them, yet she was the only one who could easily grip one’s heart.
Ji Bo sounded anxious and concerned, and that made Jing Yichen slightly displeased on the other side of the phone. But since it was an important matter, he did not let his emotion show. Instead, he said calmly, “Alright, I understand.”
Actually, Jing Yichen had turned down almost all meetings and even Jing Zhongxiu showed up to help him with the affairs at Jingsheng Enterprise. He had put all of his focus on Shangguan Ning and kept her company most of the day strolling, reading and chatting.
Jing Yichen felt his heart skip a beat when Ji Bo reminded him of this matter.
Shangguan Ning was feeling her belly with gentleness and sorting the newly-bought clothes for the baby. Jing Yichen suddenly felt hatred for Jing Yiran and Yang Muyan increased to a higher degree.
Yang Muyan’s life did not matter much, even if it meant that he had to become Ji Family’s worst enemy.
But what about Jing Yiran?
He was under Mo Lan’s protection and was his half brother. However huge a mistake he commited, he could not be killed.
Jing Yichen looked cold.
He regretted that he had made the promise to Jing Zhongxiu not to kill Jing Yiran.
Jing Yiran would always be an unsteady factor as long as he was alive.
It was not going to work in the long term if he had to keep an eye out for Jing Yiran day and night and find ways to deal with new potential danger every time.
Shangguan Ning turned around and saw the expression on Jing Yichen’s face. She stood up and approached him. With her slender fingers, she massaged his well-trimmed face.
“What is going on? Who is in trouble again?”
Jing Yichen gradually became gentler.
He extended his arms to hold Shangguan Ning’s waist and said, “Ning, don’t go anywhere in the coming days, don’t answer to anyone’s invitation, not even Zheng Lun’s.”
Jing Yichen did not mean to point out Zheng Lun, but because Shangguan Ning had been in the most frequent contact with her. Sometimes, Shangguan Ning visited her at the Zheng residence, too.
Jing Yichen was worried that Yang Muyan would make use of this opportunity, so he asked her not to go out even if Zheng Lun asked.
Shangguan Ning got slightly startled when she heard Jing Yichen’s words. But she soon replied calmly. “Okay, I won’t go out. I will stay at home with my baby. I am getting lazier and lazier these days. The baby has grown so much and he makes me tired even when I walk. I won’t go out even if you don’t tell me to.”
Jing Yichen felt his heart ripping away. He felt very guilty that he had not been able to offer a steady and safe environment for his wife and child.
He remembered that although Jing Zhongxiu was extremely strict towards him, yet few enemies sought revenge upon him. Apparently, Jing Zhongxiu had removed all the potential danger around his son.
Jing Yichen felt very guilty that he had not removed the danger around Shangguan Ning yet, and felt that he was not a qualified husband.
Right now, it was Shangguan Ning who was consoling him and saying that she herself would not want to go out.
Jing Yichen understood her well. She did not like noise and preferred a quiet environment. But that did not mean that she liked staying at home every day.
She liked to get together with her friends, talk and joke with them.
Jing Yichen held Shangguan Ning in his arms and made a decision.
Those who planned to harm his wife would not live for much longer.
He would tolerate all consequences.
Except for losing Shangguan Ning.
