Chapter 358: 358: Jiang Zhi seeks favor with tricks, dog-eat-dog in the Jiang Family (second update)
A kiloter outside the Lu Family’s villa, there’s a pedestrian street.
At this hour, there were only a few pedestrians, and the night wind was breezy. Zhou Xufang let Jiang Zhi lead her, not looking at the road, but at him.
Jiang Zhi turned his head and caught her gaze, “Zhou Xufang, you’re sneaking a peek at .” He was quite proud and also very pleased.
“No,” Zhou Xufang, honest as ever, denied like a very serious person, “I was looking at you, not sneaking a peek.” She was looking openly and honestly.
Jiang Zhi suppressed a smile at the corner of his mouth, “What are you looking at for?” This damned attractiveness.
Zhou Xufang stopped in her tracks, facing his damned attractiveness, and seriously exclaid, “Jiang Zhi, you’re so sly.”
The sly Jiang Zhi: “…”
He felt his girlfriend was disgusted with him.
“I’ve made ten million for you, and you still complain about !” Her tone was agitated, fierce, and a little aggrieved.
Zhou Xufang imdiately explained, “I was complinting you.”
As if he would believe that!
Jiang Zhi let go of her hand and walked ahead without her.
Zhou Xufang followed from behind, “Are you mad?”
He huffed.
“Jiang Zhi.”
She reached out to pull his hand.
Jiang Zhi shook off her grip, petulant and fiery, “Don’t pull my hand, I’m so sly, why would you pull !”
Zhou Xufang was like a well-behaved child who had done sothing wrong, hurriedly following and explaining, “I wasn’t scolding you, I ant it as a complint for being smart.”
She genuinely ant the complint, only dumb people aren’t sly, sly people are all smart.
“Don’t be mad,” she coaxed, tugging at his sleeve, “Hm?”
Already no longer mad, but still acting dramatically, Jiang Zhi shrugged her off.
Right beside them, there happened to be a young couple quarreling.
The boy was coaxing, “Are you mad?”
The girl huffed.
“Baby,” the boy reached out to pull the girl’s hand.
The girl jerked away, pouting petulantly, “Don’t touch , I’m being so unreasonable, why touch !”
Guilty as if he’d done sothing wrong, the boy followed suit, pleadingly pulling on the girl’s sleeve, “I didn’t an that,” he coaxed, “Baby, forgive , hm?”
The girl pulled away, her tone softening, though she wouldn’t admit it aloud, “Who’s your baby.”
The boy grabbed the girl’s small hand, leaning in with a blushing face, “You are, you are, you’re my sweetheart.”
The girl coquettishly said, “Annoying.”
Jiang Zhi, holding the girl’s script: “…”
Zhou Xufang, holding the boy’s script: “…”
The quarreling young couple made up and beca affectionate again, walking away in an intimate embrace.
“Zhou Xufang,” Jiang Zhi deliberately kept a stern face, wanting to extract so sweetness from her, “Call ‘baby’ and I won’t be mad at you anymore.”
“…” So embarrassing, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.
Jiang Zhi urged dissatisfied, “Call quickly.”
Zhou Xufang, looking down at her toes, murmured like a mosquito, “Baby.”
His eyes cleared up, the corners of his mouth curved, and as he held her face, he asked knowingly, “Who’s your baby?”
With so effort, Zhou Xufang parroted the boy from earlier, “You are, you are, you’re my sweetheart.” It was so cheesy it made her shiver.
Jiang Zhi felt so sweet that he wasn’t angry anymore.
“You should call ‘baby’ from now on.”
Zhou Xufang showed a troubled expression, “It’s too cheesy.”
Jiang Zhi, donning a hat that made his face look even smaller, “It’s not cheesy, Xue Baoyi once called Fang Lixiang on the phone, ‘big baby’.” At least he had dropped the ‘big’.
Zhou Xufang, with an ironclad resolve, refused, “I can’t say it.”
Fine, he stepped back, “Then call that in bed.”
“…”
The wind tousled her hair and her thoughts into disarray.
She didn’t agree, so Jiang Zhi wheedled persistently, “Can you do it, Zhou Xufang, hm?”
Unable to withstand Jiang Zhi’s cajoling, Zhou Xufang conceded, “… Fine.”
Jiang Zhi, thoroughly satisfied, in a great mood, his eyes brimming with light, “Tired? I’ll carry you.”
“I’m not tired.”
“I want to carry you.” He squatted in front of her, “Co on.”
Zhou Xufang had no choice but to lean in, thinking to herself, Brother Zhi really has so wicked tastes; even during intimate monts, he liked to moan and groan…
Thinking of this, she buried her head in his neck.
Jiang Zhi rubbed her face, “Why is your face so hot?”
She couldn’t possibly say that she was thinking of sothing shaless, so she said, “Because I’m touched.”
Jiang Zhi: “…”
He was sweetened by her again.
Zhou Xufang looked up and sighed, feeling like she had beco bad, as sinister as he was.
The next day was the first of the lunar month, and Xu Jiuru had soone call the whole family to the old house early morning to have morning tea around the round table.
“Old Madam.”
“Old Madam.”
Ah Gui ran in panicked, “It’s not good, Old Madam.”
Xu Jiuru frowned and put down her chopsticks, “Making such a fuss, what does it look like?” She asked, “What’s the matter?”
Ah Gui was extrely anxious, “The Lu Family has called a press conference. They’re saying the case involving Wu Yuegu was done by the Jiang Family. A lot of reporters have co to the door and are forcing their way in.”
Luo Changfang heard this and spilled her tea.
This morning tea couldn’t be finished.
Xu Jiuru stood up, “Lin, go handle the people at the door.”
“Yes, grandma.”
After Jiang Xiaolin left, Xu Jiuru gave another instruction, “Brother Zhi, hurry to the police station and see what exactly is happening.”
Jiang Zhi finished the tea in his cup before standing up.
Police Station.
Early in the morning, the Lu Family had delivered the suspect. Vice Captain Xing was conducting the interrogation, with Wu Yuehong and Ruan Hong being questioned together.
“Did you and Ruan Hong conspire to murder?”
Wu Yuehong imdiately denied it, “I didn’t kill anyone!” He glanced to the side, “I only dropped so hints; Ruan Hong bought the dicine, and she is the one who secretly fed it to my brother. I just impersonated my brother and went to the hospital twice.”
Ruan Hong stood up abruptly, agitated, “You’re lying. You were the one who instructed . You told the nas of those drugs that would induce kidney disease, and you also directed to fra the Second Miss of the Lu Family.” She pointed angrily at Wu Yuehong, the veins in her neck bulging, “Officer, it was him! He told to do it! He said my husband wouldn’t live much longer, and I’d be better off with him. He claid that even if we got caught, we’d only serve a few years in prison at most, and afterwards, we could enjoy wealth that we’d never be able to spend in a lifeti, and then he would take my son and abroad to live.”
The mastermind would receive a heavier sentence, so naturally, they blad each other.
In tis of severe calamity, a pair of birds in the sa forest fly off on their own, let alone, they were just a wicked couple thrown together.
Vice Captain Xing called Zhang Wen, who was at the door, “Take Ruan Hong out first.”
Zhang Wen took the person to be interrogated next door.
Once the person was gone, Wu Yuehong, eyes red, defended himself, “I didn’t instruct her. She chose to do it herself because she had lived through hard tis and wanted to grasp at wealth.”
Is that sothing a human would say?
Vice Captain Xing glanced at the beast, “Who instructed you to fra the Second Miss of the Lu Family?”
Wu Yuehong hesitated not at all, “It was the Jiang Family.”
“Which mber of the Jiang Family?”
“I don’t know; I’ve never seen her. Each ti we t, he would sit in the car, and a driver from the Jiang Family would relay ssages. Even the voice in our phone conversations was altered.”
The Jiang Family wanted to silence him. Confessing might an only a few years in jail, but if that female ghost errand runner sought him out…
Wu Yuehong was drenched in sweat, fearing the police wouldn’t believe him, he hurriedly added, “The Jiang Family’s driver also helped with smuggling arrangents, and the money ca from him too. You can check the accounts.”
Jiang Family.
Jiang Fuxi knocked on the door, “Grandma.”
Xu Jiuru was lying in bed, “Is that you, Sister Xi? Co in.”
Jiang Fuxi entered the room, lifted the bed curtains, and approached the bed with a gentle and soft voice, “There’s a call from the police station.”
Xu Jiuru propped herself up to sit, her face wan and impatient, “What did they say?”
“Wu Yuehong has confessed, saying it was orchestrated by the Jiang Family. The surveillance also captured Uncle Chen eting Wu Yuehong on Jiangnan Road.”
Uncle Chen was the Jiang Family’s driver.
Xu Jiuru was silent, then after a mont, she asked, “Did they capture Changfang?”
Jiang Fuxi shook her head gently, standing by the bed in her cheongsam, her deanor gentle and gracious, “No, my aunt is very cautious. She didn’t show up personally; it was all handled through Uncle Chen, and the account also went through him.”
The phone used for the calls was probably destroyed already.
Xu Jiuru pondered.
“Grandma, there’s a lot of gossip outside; it’s not looking good. Since Uncle Chen represents the Jiang Family, it won’t be easy for us to extricate ourselves.”
“It won’t be easy.”
The Jiang Family would definitely not be able to clear themselves from this ss.
“Fuxi has sothing to say but isn’t sure if she should,” Jiang Fuxi hesitated.
Xu Jiuru looked outside the curtains, no one else was present, “Let’s hear it.”
Jiang Fuxi stepped forward and whispered, “Sacrifice the car to save the general.”
