He stared at the black cube in disbelief.
After a while, Ji Yihang finally came back to his senses, "No, this is too precious, I can’t accept it. Xiao Li, send it back."
Ji Li still didn’t know what it was.
But since Ji Yihang had said so, she did as instructed.
Wen Fengmian looked thoughtfully at the black cube, quite calm, "Second Brother, don’t get excited. Yaoyao still has some, we won’t miss this one."
Ji Yihang’s hand trembled, "There’s more?"
Ying Zijin propped her chin with her hand and hummed, "There’s more."
Herwen had given her three pieces; she couldn’t use them all at the moment.
She knew Ji Yihang was conducting experiments, and having this thing would be very convenient.
Originally, Ying Zijin had planned to give medicine.
But since the Ji Family was too closely connected to the Ancient Martial World, and to prevent something like what happened with Nie Chao from happening again, she chose this gift instead.
More suitable than medicine.
Ji Yihang felt dizzy, he was stupefied.
The black cube was an energy device.
Only available on O continent.
The material originated from a meteorite.
However, the meteorite was very small, and due to technological limitations, only fifteen energy devices were ultimately produced.
The Ji Family had one, which cost a billion US Dollars to buy from O continent, depleting the funds of several laboratories.
Although Ji Yihang was about to be promoted, he was not the most valued branch of the Ji Family.
The monthly experimental funds he received were only one million, some materials were too expensive to buy, forcing him to cut corners wherever possible.
This energy device, he hadn’t even dared to dream of it.
A billion US Dollars!
His niece had casually presented such an extraordinary amount of money.
Ji Yihang remembered the title Ji Li had mentioned earlier—
The Entertainment Circle’s Tycoon.
This was far beyond just an Entertainment Circle’s Tycoon, a Tycoon of the century.
"It’s still too valuable," Ji Yihang said with some embarrassment, "I don’t even know what to give you in return."
He was not like Wen Fengmian, who, for over two decades, hadn’t reached the heights that Wen Fengmian had at the age of teens.
Also because he was implicated in the island experiment failure, the Ji Family had not invested much in him, with most of the funds being pulled in by Madam Ji.
Ying Zijin looked up, smiling lightly, "You have looked after Dad for so many years; this little thing is nothing."
Speaking of this, Ji Li remembered something, "God Ying, you can accuse Ying Zhenting of abandoning you and have him sent to prison."
New evidence had already emerged online.
It proved that Ying Zhenting’s involvement was behind Ying Zijin’s disappearance in the past.
It was him who had arranged the reception at that time and mobilized many servants from the Ying Family as well as some street personnel, to facilitate Ying Luwei in abducting and disposing of Ying Zijin.
Ying Zijin’s eyes slightly narrowed, then her lashes fell, and she spoke indifferently, "I’m afraid he won’t live long enough for that."
Ji Li was puzzled and didn’t understand but agreed nonetheless, "That’s right, living is just a waste of air."
At the dining table, the family atmosphere was very pleasant.
Ji Yihang poured a cup of tea and, looking up, inquired with some surprise, "Feng Mian, how did you suddenly come around?"
Wen Fengmian shook his head, and this time he didn’t answer, just smiled, "Second Brother, let’s eat."
Ying Zijin was silent.
She was well aware of the real reason Wen Fengmian had decided to return to the capital.
It was because he had encountered the DEATH poison fog in O continent’s University Town.
The Ji Family’s comprehensive scientific research capabilities were in no way inferior to those on O continent.
Moreover, many instruments and scientific research materials were exclusive to the Ji Family and kept secret from the public.
Those not part of the Ji Family’s Research Institute had no qualification to access them.
The island experiment had failed in the past, but the experimental data had been preserved.
This data was locked away by the Ji Family.
Wen Fengmian planned to continue this experiment, to investigate the origin of the DEATH poison fog.
Therefore, it was for her, Ying Zijin, that Wen Fengmian had returned.
"Feng Mian, where are you staying?" Ji Yihang was very concerned, "Is it safe? The Ji side..."
"Second Brother, rest assured." Wen Fengmian coughed twice, "It’s very safe."
"That’s good," Ji Yihang nodded, "The Ji side doesn’t have ancient martial artists, only your sister-in-law has one, but their strength can’t compare with Ji Yiyuan’s side."
Ji Yiyuan was currently the highest-ranking member of the Ji Family.
And he was entirely at odds with Ji Yihang.
Ji Yihang also suspected that the sudden mishap in the island experiment may have involved Ji Yiyuan’s manipulation.
"Your sister-in-law isn’t a bad person, just been frightened for a long time, worried that your return would cause trouble for me," Ji Yihang sighed, "but you’re my brother, and I could never give up on you."
