After I Wrongly Chose the Strongest Alpha in the Galaxy on a Blind Date!! - Chapter 41

Chapter 41 – Trying to Provoke People to Earn Mission Points

Ji Anli was smiling the whole time. He was just about to wave at Ji Chenhao and Wen Zhen to say goodbye and never see them again.

Ji Chenhao was panicking, it was over, he couldn’t just leave like this, he had already made arrangements for Jeff. All he just had to do was wait and reap the results.

If he fails to complete the task and control Yi Ya, he will soon become a discarded pawn.

Ji Chenhao was very clear about the consequences of abandoning a pawn. That person would never let him go and would only make his life worse than death.

He raised his eyes and saw the looks from the noble families around him. They were disgusted, mocking and ridiculing him for his delusion of wanting to curry favor with the Earl’s most beloved grandson. Now he had hit a wall, right?

Ji Chenhao was almost going crazy. He looked around quickly, hoping that the other party would ask him to stay.

But soon he met a pair of heavy eyes, and Ji Chenhao felt cold all over. It was over, he had committed a big taboo.

He actually went to see the other person at this critical moment.

Sure enough, following Ji Chenhao’s gaze, Ji Anli also looked over and saw a young man standing in the dark holding a glass of champagne and looking at this side from afar. The eyebrows and eyes that were extremely similar to Lin Jing made Ji Anli want to tear off the other’s disguise.

It was Lin Yu.

The person who instructed Ji Chenhao behind the scenes turned out to be Lin Yu?

Although he had guessed something, Ji Chenhao actually just looked at him like that? Lin Yu must be mad, right?

Since this incredible opportunity came to him, he couldn’t let it go just like that. Before Ji Chenhao could leave in shock, Ji Anli spoke up: “What are you looking at Young Master Lin doing? No way, could it be that you guys are secretly…”

In a flash, everyone looked towards Lin Yu.

No way? Everyone knew that Mr. Lin also went to the blind date party last time. Isn’t Ji Chenhao engaged to Wen Zhen? Why is he looking at him at this critical moment? Especially since he looked at him for help just now.

The gossip spirit of everyone present was burning again.

Lin Yu almost crushed the champagne glass in his hand and walked out from the shadows in front of everyone: “Sir, although I am General Lin’s elder brother, we are not familiar with each other. Even if you beg me, I can’t speak for you. I’m sorry.”

Ji Chenhao lowered his head and quickly tried to make amends: “I should say sorry. I was desperate and sought medical help. Although there was a misunderstanding this time, I really shouldn’t have made such a loud noise. I’ll leave now.”

If he leaves now, he will lose face. If he doesn’t leave, he will lose his life.

Without him, Lin Yu could still find someone to control the Duke of Yi Ya. He really became a discarded pawn.

At this moment Ji Chenhao was really in a panic.

Ji Chenhao left in a hurry like a drowned dog, and Wen Zhen followed closely behind him, but his face was gloomy and it was obvious that he did not believe Ji Chenhao’s previous words. Otherwise, with Ji Chenhao’s temperament, how could he give in so easily?

First it was Jeff, and now it’s Young Master Lin. How many springboards had his nominal fiancé secretly hooked up with? And he was afraid he was not even qualified to be a springboard. Right?

The people present did not come to their senses until after the pair left, and no one spoke. Those who knew each other exchanged glances, obviously not believing it.

After all…if they had no private contact, how could Ji Chenhao be the first one to ask for help?

The nobles present didn’t expect to get to know so much gossip when they entered the palace this time. They had to say, Ji Chenhao is quite good at finding people. Not to mention the Earl’s grandson, he is the most favored and may even be the heir to the Earl’s Mansion in the future.

Young Master Lin is the heir apparent to the old marshal.

Wen Zhen was also the heir of the Wen family.

This time, Ji Chenhao caught the heir of a noble family.

Those who are familiar with them immediately signaled that they should keep a close eye on the family’s heirs or heirs-to-be. If they were seduced, it would be embarrassing on the one hand, and disgusting on the other.

Lin Yu was already walking towards this side. Originally, he had no intention of making trouble for his good second brother tonight as he had more important things to do. But his plans had to be ruined again and again by them.

Ji Anli looked at Lin Yu approaching without any panic. ‘Here he comes, here he comes, he comes as a tool for the mission.’

Ji Anli knew what Lin Yu was thinking at the moment. He had given Lin Jing the drug but it had not been activated yet. He was angry because of the stimulation before, but now he had come to his senses and planned to wait until the poison took effect before thinking of a way to deal with Ji Anli.

But after being pointed out, he had no choice but to come over if he didn’t want to fall out.

Lin Yu stood in front of him, intending to say a few words and then leave: “Second brother, it seems that your married life is going good. Look at my brother-in-law, he is full of energy. It seems that you will soon welcome a new heir. I am here to congratulate you.”

Lin Yu spoke slowly and in a low voice, with a smile on his face, but his words were sarcastic, deliberately poking at Lin Jing’s sore spot.

Ji Anli had been listening quietly with a smile on his face. When Lin Yu finished speaking, he saw Ji Anli was first in disbelief, then in shock, and then his voice rose: “You, you you you…!”

Everyone had already left. After all, they were from the Lin family and it was not appropriate to watch the fun. When they heard this, they turned around and stood still: ‘What’s wrong? Is there another good show to watch?’

Ji Anli covered his chest with his hands, and with his other hand he pulled Lin Jing’s hand from behind to let him hold his waist, looking shaky: “Brother, how can you poke my husband and me in the heart like this? We just went to the hospital, and because of genetic problems, our chances of getting pregnant are very small. You knew… knew this… and yet you deliberately congratulated us on having a new member. How could you deliberately expose our scars?”

He didn’t want anyone to sabotage him before he got pregnant.

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped. ‘What? Did Young Master Lin really say that? How could he say that?’

Although everyone was hopeful when they heard the news of General Lin and Mr. Ji’s marriage that they were a 100% match, there was no precedent for this, so they didn’t really have any hope, it was just talk.

As the saying goes, don’t expose other people’s shortcomings. But they are relatives, and he actually exposed their shortcomings right in front of them?

What a vicious mind!

Lin Yu obviously didn’t expect Ji Anli to really say it out loud. Did he have no shame? What good could he get if he was at odds with his husband’s family?

Besides, he only congratulated the other party.

Lin Yu noticed the gazes from all directions and truly felt the suffocation Ji Chenhao had just felt. He subconsciously denied it: “Mr. Ji, you think too much. I didn’t mean to say it like that.”

After saying that, his eyes were fixed on Ji Anli quietly. Even if he said it, only the three of them would hear it. Whether he said no or he said yes, with his status, outsiders would still favor him even if they were not sure. This was the benefit brought by status and position.

Who dares to offend the future heir of the Lin family?

They would only say that Ji Anli was a troublemaker. First it was Ji Chenhao, and now it’s him.

The first time everyone thinks it’s the other person’s fault, but how come it’s always you? Doesn’t he think he’s a troublemaker?

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Lin Yu’s confident expression cracked and he looked at Ji Anli in disbelief.

Ji Anli tapped his bracelet, which was playing the recording at the highest volume.

Lin Yu’s deep voice resounded throughout the banquet hall, and it even made people wonder if Ji Anli had amplified the sound.

[“It seems that my second brother is having a good married life…”]

Everyone listened to Young Master Lin’s voice with bewildered faces, and then they took a breath. Oh my god, it was actually true. Young Master Lin actually approached them specifically to expose their secrets. It seemed that the rumors outside were true. The two brothers of the Lin family really didn’t get along!

No wonder they heard that General Lin hadn’t returned to the Lin family for a long time. Is he being targeted in private like this?

Everyone seemed to have discovered the truth. This banquet was well worth it. The more you dig, the more you find!

Lin Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t suppress his anger, but as he was worried that the recording would continue, he didn’t dare to say anything.

Ji Anli stood in front of Lin Jing. “Brother, they say that blood ties cannot be severed. I used to want to persuade A’Jing to make a big deal out of a small matter. After all, we are family. But it really lives up to the saying that you should never advise others to be kind without experiencing their suffering. You dare to be so sarcastic in front of so many people. My A’Jing has suffered so much in the past. I feel sad for him just thinking about it. He worked hard outside to make meritorious deeds and gave back the credit to the Lin family, but in the end, he was treated weirdly by a freeloader…”

After these words, Lin Yu completely cut off the possibility of asking Lin Jing to go back to the Lin family to visit the old marshal. After all, they had already torn apart their relationship.

Besides, even if Lin Jing was to be accused of being unfilial, after what happened tonight, it couldn’t be blamed on Lin Jing.

As the old saying goes, discord among brothers is mostly caused by the elders’ immorality and partiality.

Isn’t Lin Jing’s father partial to him? He’s partial to him to the point of being obvious in the partiality he showed.

Lin Yu finally couldn’t help but frown: “Don’t talk nonsense, when have I ever been bad to my second brother?”

Ji Anli held Lin Jing down and stepped forward to protect him, like a calf: “When did you treat him well?”

The meaningful look reminded Lin Yu of the previous complaint he made in the hospital. Later, his father went back and scolded him, took back most of his power, and began to take charge of the situation inside and outside the mansion again.

His father had not taken care of things for several years, and the result was…

He could only keep a low profile during this period of time. He was about to let this man go, but he insisted on bumping into him.

Lin Yu: “Forget it, you are young, I won’t bother with you. Let my second brother tell me whether I am really not good to him.”

Ji Anli raised his eyebrows. This guy was really insidious. No matter what Lin Jing would say, he would end up in trouble.

Even if it is true, it will damage his image if he said it, giving people the impression that Lin Jing couldn’t even handle his own family affairs when you gossip about others; if he didn’t say anything, it means Ji Anli is only assuming that there is something wrong.

Ji Anli has already performed the task twice, and two more times will be enough.

He took another step forward: “So you want to use your seniority to pressure others? You are just the eldest brother by a few minutes. At most, you are also a peer, how can you be considered an elder?”

Listening to the “ding dong” sound in his mind, Ji Anli completed three items and only one was left.

Ji Anli was in a better mood, and didn’t show anything on his face. Unfortunately, at this moment, an old voice sounded: “Lin Yu, is this how I taught you the rules at home?”

When Lin Yu heard the voice, his whole body froze. He turned around, lowered his head and stood aside. He first called out “father” and then responded, “I was wrong.”

Ji Anli saw Lin Jing’s father sighing with regret, and if he had come a little later, he would have been able to complete the task completely.

There are four tasks, and only three and a half have been completed. The only thing left is to stand up for Lin Jing once more.

Mr. Lin came over with a cane, and the crowd around him greeted politely and dispersed.

The farce was resolved without bloodshed because of Mr. Lin’s timely arrival. When he got closer, Mr. Lin looked at Ji Anli quietly.

Lin Jing calmly pulled Ji Anli behind him, met his father’s gaze, and called him “father” indifferently.

Ji Anli knew that the opportunity was missed and did not want to give anyone a chance to criticize him.

Lin Yu was a peer, so no one could point out his faults. But when he was confronted with an elder in front of everyone, even if he was right, no one would pay attention. They would just ignore it and cover their forehead, pretending to have a headache.

Lin Jing turned around immediately, picked up Ji Anli in a hurry, and went to rest aside.

As a result, the news that Young Master Lin had angered his younger brother-in-law to death at the palace banquet spread like wildfire, completely tearing the image that Young Master Lin had previously maintained in the outside world. In addition, the rumor that he might have been having an affair with Ji Chenhao, who had a fiancé, also spread like wildfire.

Ji Anli decided to stop while he was ahead, went to the corner, opened his eyes and blinked at Lin Jing.

Lin Jing looked at him worriedly: “He is too thoughtful and cruel, so you’d better not confront him head-on next time.” They are out in the open while Lin Yu is in the dark. He can kill his own brother, so it is not a good thing to offend him.

Ji Anli: “Don’t worry, he won’t do anything for now. He’s waiting for something to happen to you.”

So just in case Lin Yu would spread the news of the poisoning regardless of the consequences, no matter how angry Lin Yu was, he would not take action against Ji Anli in the short term.

But Lin Yu will be disappointed later, and his expectations are doomed to fail.

Using the mission points gained from confronting Lin Yu to save Lin Jing and detoxify him was his plan. When the other party finds out about it one day, he would probably be so angry that he would die, right?

The banquet began soon. Ji Anli and the other person did not move forward and watched Yi Ya appear with the old emperor and the fifth prince.

It was the first time that Ji Anli met the old Majesty. He was older than the old Duke, but looked much younger than the old Duke. He was well maintained and exuded nobility from head to toe.

He looked at everyone with his kind eyes and was very approachable.

The old majesty took Yi Ya’s hand and, after taking a look at each other, found that they were indeed uncle and nephew, and they looked a bit alike. He announced Yi Ya’s identity and rewarded him with many rare treasures to show his respect.

Doing this also lets the noble families present know that this is the younger generation he values. Although he has not been raised on the First Star for the past eighteen years, he is still of true royal blood.

Everyone felt that Yi Ya would surely enjoy wealth and glory in the future. At the same time, they also praised the old emperor. He cared so much about a junior. He was indeed worthy of being the most benevolent imperial emperor in history.

Ji Anli only glanced at the people on the stage and turned his eyes away, focusing his attention on Lin Yu who was not far away.

He did not forget that Lin Yu was most likely the man behind the scenes who used Ji Chenhao to control Yi Ya. The banquet hasn’t ended yet, what if something happens to the Earl’s grandson?

The old emperor left quickly after his speech. The fifth prince accompanied Yi Ya at first to introduce him to the people present, but he was called away soon. Yi Ya was left alone and many people started to chat with him.

Yi Ya was not able to deal with these people, so he quickly went out under the pretext of getting some fresh air.

Ji Anli was sitting in a position where he could see outside. Through the obstruction, he saw that Yi Ya was indeed walking towards the fountain. Not long after, Jeff walked over from the other side.

Lin Jing followed his gaze, approached and whispered in a soothing voice: “I have sent people to guard the place. If Jeff is pushed, they will step forward to rescue him.”

Ji Anli responded. Although Jeff would not drown like in the book if he was not rescued, he had a bad heart and something could easily happen if he was stimulated inappropriately.

Not long after, Yi Ya seemed to be angry, frowned and pushed Jeff.

Jeff fell backwards without paying attention. At the same moment, someone jumped out from the shadows and supported Jeff, thus preventing him from falling into the water.

Yi Ya was obviously frightened and was shaking all the time. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jeff was fine.

But at this moment, Jeff, who was originally supported and standing there steadily, suddenly covered his chest and breathed heavily as if he couldn’t breathe. He soon bent down, his body twitched, and he actually fell headfirst.
