Chapter 2397 Let Ji Ziyin Stand Outside For an Hour

Everyone was stunned.

The bearded man looked at the black smoke for a long time. "Is our computer wasted?"

His subordinate did not dare to look up. He stammered, "The other party's Trojan Horse destroyed our C drive and even activated the computer's self-destruct program. The motherboard must have burned."

"What about the hard drive?" The bearded man clenched his fists and turned to ask him with a burning gaze.

That person was even more afraid to speak. "Um, it should it should be all ruined. I'm not sure, either. It looks like it's all gone."

The bearded man couldn't speak for a long time.

He already had an answer in his heart, but he just couldn't accept it.

"Who exactly is the other party? Isn't she just an ordinary person? She's not even from the independent continent." He barely found his voice. The veins on his neck bulged as he tried his best to suppress his frustration. "Do you call this an ordinary person?"

The person who came with Yu Qingliu's order was at a loss. "I-I'm not sure, either. Elder Yu said that she was an ordinary person. I thought"

The bearded man pulled him away. "I'll go look for Elder Yu!"

Ji Ziyin's car slowly stopped outside a large white four-story villa. Asking the chauffeur to wait for her outside, she tidied up, took a deep breath, and got out of the car.

"Miss Ji, right?" A servant walked over from the entrance of the villa and smiled politely at her, asking for her ident.i.ty.

Ji Ziyin did not dare to be arrogant in front of the other party. She nodded politely. "It's me."

The servant extended her hand, walking in front. "Please follow me. Elder Yu is already waiting for you."

Ji Ziyin followed her into the villa.

The large villa was decorated in a typical European style. The interior decoration was also extremely luxurious and ostentatious. The huge crystal lights in the living room showed that the owner was a person who enjoyed the finer things in life.

Not to mention the carpet that covered the entire villa from the entrance. When she stepped on it, it felt as soft as stepping on clouds.

There was also a large closet on the right side of the living room. A warm charcoal fire burned underneath a cupboard, warming the entire villa.

Suppressing her curiosity, Ji Ziyin didn't look around. Instead, she followed behind the servant without blinking until the servant stopped and said, "Miss Ji, we're here. Please wait a moment. Elder Yu is in the study. He'll be down soon."

"Okay, thank you." Ji Ziyin thanked her generously.

The servant said, "You're welcome." Then, she left without looking back.

Ji Ziyin stood in the living room and waited for him.

No one came out to pour her water, nor did anyone ask her to sit.

Ji Ziyin stood there and waited for a full hour. Then, someone finally came out of the study room when her calves had grown numb.

He was here.

Ji Ziyin took a deep breath and secretly clenched her fists.

She looked at him with a burning gaze. He was an old man in his sixties. Most of his silver hair was white, but his eyes were unforgettable.

Ji Ziyin had thought that all members of the reclusive family should be blond and blue-eyed like Martin, but to her surprise, this old man had a typical Asian face. However, his facial features were slightly more three-dimensional than ordinary people.

"Sit."

Yu Qingliu was dressed neatly. He was of average height and walked with a strong aura. He sized up Ji Ziyin as he walked over.

He didn't reveal his emotions like Ji Ziyin. He only glanced at her indifferently and sat down on the sofa before inviting her to do the same.
