Chapter 981: Emperor and Qingqing’s Identity Both Revealed (1)
The phone kept ringing, the sound like a death knell.
The middle-aged man’s forehead vein twitched as his trembling hand reached out to take the phone from his pocket.
Ji Yun glanced at the man, a trace of astonishment in his eyes.
What kind of call was this, coming at such a precise moment?
It was as if the timing had been meticulously planned.
Ji Yun had never encountered such a terrifying yet graceful and elegant man before.
Yu Xiheng was an enigma, his calm demeanor akin to the sea before a storm, unruffled on the surface but hiding a beast ready to awaken.
The middle-aged man’s hand trembled again before he pressed the answer button and put the phone to his ear. “Yes, it’s me, Mr. Russell. Our plan has been exposed, and I...”
Whatever was said on the other end made the man’s eyes twitch violently.

Suddenly, he screamed, “No! We signed a contract! You can’t go back on your word! How can you do this?!”
Ji Yun’s eyes narrowed.
A few seconds later, the man seemed to lose all strength. The phone slipped from his hand, and he collapsed to the ground.
Throughout this, Yu Xiheng remained impassive, unmoving.
Though he had retracted his aura, Ji Yun still felt a tingling on his scalp, a sense of dread he couldn’t shake.
Who were these people Si Fuqing associated with?
The middle-aged man suddenly looked up, his teeth chattering. He shouted, “Who are you? Who the hell are you?!”
For Stellar Company, taking on Oracle was nearly impossible.
Ji Yun fell silent, realizing he might simply be earning too little.
To owe NightOrigin and mention “thirty-eight and a half billion” so casually, one must possess more resources than NightOrigin in the Free State.
Ji Yun paused and tentatively asked, “Mr. Yu, do you own mineral resources in the Free State?”
Yu Xiheng nodded, opening his eyes, “I’ll go fetch her. Mr. Ji, make yourself at home.”
Chen Ying stepped forward, pushing the wheelchair as they left.
As the door closed, Ji Yun exhaled slowly.
He sat at his computer and input a few commands.
Some people in the Ji family needed to be dealt with.

Meanwhile, at Nevernight City.
Servers with trays moved in and out, as eSports players and invited guests continued their celebration.
Si Fuqing had left early.
She slipped out the back door and headed to the rooftop.
The night was cloudless, the moon and stars intertwined, and the Milky Way shone brightly.
She had brought up a case of sake and sat on the ground, waiting.
When the sound of footsteps approached, Si Fuqing turned and waved to the man, her tone cheerful, “Brother Nine.”
Yu Xiheng walked over, unbothered by the dust that might soil his suit, and sat beside her. “Have you been waiting long?”
“No, I just got here,” Si Fuqing handed him a bottle of sake and raised an eyebrow, “I heard you gave Ji Yun quite a scare. Owner of the eight major mineral veins in the Free State?”
