Chapter 437 Jiang Ting is in jail

After thanking them, Jiang Ning and Shen Mo returned to the courtyard.

After closing the door, Shen Mo looked at Jiang Ning and asked, "Wife, what do you want to do about Jiang Ting's matter?"

Jiang Ning asked, "Given the Jiang family's relationship with Lin Yufei, is it possible that Jiang Ting won't go to jail?"

“Lin Yufei doesn’t have that much power, but Jiang Haoan is a different story. He has made great contributions to the military. If he tries to pull some strings with the higher-ups, Jiang Ting shouldn’t go to jail,” Shen Mo analyzed.

“However…” he changed the subject.

Jiang Ning looked up and saw a flickering light in the man's eyes.

He said, "I'm a deputy brigade commander now, so if they have connections, why shouldn't I? This matter can't just be left like this."

Jiang Ning smiled and hugged the man's arm. "I didn't intend for this matter to just end like this."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Shen Mo's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.

He understood the meaning behind his wife's words and knew what to do.

Although his wife had severed ties with that side of the family, they were still related by blood. He thought his wife would still overlook the matter because of their kinship.

After all, going to jail is no small matter.

Shen Mo said, "Wife, leave this matter to me."

As a researcher at the weapons research institute, Jiang Haoan's status was indeed not to be underestimated, but he had also served in the military for many years.

Many high-ranking officials value him.

Jiang Ning nodded. She knew that Shen Mo had almost witnessed her getting into trouble, and he was already holding back his anger. He wouldn't be able to get over it unless he let him vent his anger.

With someone helping to resolve the issue, Jiang Ning felt much better.

Seeing that Shen Mo was very angry on her behalf, she cooked dinner for him.

Getting angry harms the liver, spleen, and stomach, so I made nourishing and stomach-warming dishes for dinner.

After dinner, the family weeded and digested their food in the yard.

The next morning, Shen Mo went to the camp. He first went to see Deputy Division Commander Liang.

Upon hearing that this matter was true, Deputy Division Commander Liang immediately became very angry and then took Shen Mo to find a higher-ranking leader.

Not to mention that Jiang Ning is now valued by the military, Shen Mo is also highly valued by his superiors.

Since joining the army, Shen Mo has distinguished himself on the battlefield. After the war subsided, he also carried out many missions that nearly cost him his life.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Mo's ancestral home is in the capital, countless other military regions would be scrambling to recruit him.

After the report was submitted, Deputy Division Commander Liang took Shen Mo back.

He patted Shen Mo on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, although both of you are people who have made contributions to the country, the fault lies with Jiang Ting. With a high-ranking leader watching, even if Professor Jiang wants to protect his daughter, it won't work."

"And of all the people she could have targeted, she had to go after Dr. Jiang. With you and Dr. Jiang combined, the higher-ups aren't blind."

Shen Mo smiled and thanked Deputy Division Commander Liang.

Deputy Division Commander Liang waved his hand and said, "I'm getting old. I probably won't be moving from this position anymore. It will be your turn to take over from now on. You're so young to have reached this position. Your future is limitless. You're bound to surpass me. I'm afraid I'll have to call you 'leader' from now on."

Shen Mo took it as a joke and left.

Meanwhile, Jiang Haoan also sought help from a high-ranking official, hoping that the official could help smooth things over at the police station.

However, the other party rejected him.

Jiang Haoan was dumbfounded when his boss refused.

The leader sighed, “Professor Jiang, do you know how serious this incident is? Now is the time for a crackdown and investigation. Two years ago, when the crackdown first started, many children of high-ranking officials were executed for making mistakes. You should be glad that there were no casualties at the time, and Dr. Jiang was also fine. So we can only let your daughter serve a few years in prison and let her out, out of consideration for you.”

Jiang Haoan knew, of course, that the investigation had been very serious in recent years. He only came to plead with the higher-ups because he was concerned that his eldest daughter's mistake had not yet resulted in any injuries or deaths.

He thought his superiors would spare his daughter from jail out of consideration for him, but it seems he was mistaken.

Jiang Haoan wanted to speak, but the leader interrupted her, "Originally, the situation wasn't serious, and with some smooth-talking, we could have only let your daughter serve a year in prison. But the trouble your daughter caused has even dragged the president of Country D into it."

"What?" Jiang Haoan looked surprised.

He never imagined that this matter would involve the president of Country D.

The leader said, "I can't tell you the details, but I can say that your daughter has messed with the wrong person this time, and she can't escape going to jail."

In the end, Jiang Haoan had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Jiang Ting never expected that even her father's personal visit to the leaders couldn't persuade them to stop her from going to jail.

Knowing she was going to jail, she was both angry and scared.

At this time, Jiang's father and mother came to see her.

Jiang Ting gripped the iron bars tightly, the silver shackles on her hands clanging loudly against them.

"Dad, Dad! I don't want to go to jail! I don't want to go to jail! Please save me! Save me!"

Faced with the prospect of going to jail, Jiang Ting found it hard to believe. She thought that with her father's current status, he would definitely be able to get her out!

"Xiaoting, don't worry, the higher-ups only sentenced you to three years in prison. Three years isn't a long time, you'll be able to get out."

"This is what Mother Jiang said to comfort her."

Jiang Haoan also said, "Xiaoting, you have to understand your father. The investigations are very strict now. In the past two years, quite a few children of high-ranking officials were even executed. You only have to serve three years in prison, which is the shortest time your father has managed to secure for you."

But Jiang Ting didn't appreciate it. She felt a chill run down her spine. The thought of serving three years in prison while Jiang Ning was living a carefree life made her resentful and almost drove her crazy!

After being arrested, she was filled with panic and hoped that her father and Lin Yufei would come and bail her out.

After all, the Jiang family didn't want a daughter who had been to prison, and Lin Yufei certainly didn't want a wife who had been to prison.

However, she still ended up in jail.

Jiang Haoan looked at his daughter, who seemed to have gone mad, and felt both guilty and heartbroken.

His guilt stemmed from the more than ten years he quietly left home.

It was because he failed to be there for his children and teach them properly.

Despite all this, why is Jiang Ning so outstanding?

She was so outstanding that he didn't even have the chance to make amends.

Therefore, he could only try to make up for his double guilt by placing it on Jiang Ting.

Did he make the wrong decision?

Upon hearing that she would have to serve three years in prison, Jiang Ting completely lost control of her emotions. "Dad, you abandoned your wife for more than ten years, how can you bear to let me go to jail for so long?"

"What did you say?" Upon hearing the words "abandoning his wife and children," Jiang Haoan's face darkened, and the guilt in his heart dissipated considerably.

"I abandoned my wife and children?"

Seeing Jiang Haoan's face darken, Jiang Ting calmed down a bit and quickly said, "Dad, that's not what I meant. I was just too scared, so I said things without thinking. Dad, I really don't want to go to jail."

She spoke while tears streamed down her face.

Ultimately, guilt prevailed. Jiang Haoan looked remorseful and softened his tone, "Xiaoting, it's not that Dad didn't want to save you. So many people saw it. Moreover, your matter even involved the President of Country D."

"The President of Country D?" Jiang Ting exclaimed in disbelief.

She suddenly thought of those foreign faces.

She thought they were just a few ordinary foreigners, but now her father is telling her that one of them is the president of country D!

How did Jiang Ning come to know the president of Country D?

When did she meet him?

At that moment, she thought of the foreigner who had been chatting and laughing with Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning and he are so familiar with each other, their relationship is obviously not ordinary!

She couldn't believe it.
