Zhao's father told Jian Jiaojiao that if she wanted to know what really happened, she needed to find out who Jian Mingpeng had offended.

After hanging up the phone, Jian Jiaojiao looked bewildered.

"Who did you offend?"

Thinking about what her father had said to her during the day, she suddenly felt that this matter might be related to Jian Yixue.

Afterwards, Jian Jiaojiao told Qiao Yaxiang about it.

Qiao Yaxiang was extremely surprised; she hadn't expected there to be so many connections behind this matter.

Suddenly, she realized something and looked at Jian Jiaojiao, saying, "Could it really be that bitch who did this?"

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao's face turned ugly.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, it seemed that this was probably the case.

Moreover, it's highly likely that Ye Mohan has also gotten involved.

Otherwise, Jian Yixue alone could not possibly have such great power as to send someone to kidnap her father.

But she thought during the day... only to be proven wrong in a short time.

She felt really bad.

"What should we do now?" Qiao Yaxiang thought of Jian Mingpeng who had been taken away. "Why don't we call the police, Jiaojiao?"

Besides calling the police, she really couldn't think of any other way, as they were now a widow and her daughter alone.

Upon hearing this, Jian Jiaojiao immediately shook her head.

“No, if we call the police, they will definitely deny it. And if we call the police, they might get even angrier and just…”

Jian Jiaojiao didn't say everything aloud, but she believed that Qiao Yaxiang understood the deeper meaning behind her words.

Qiao Yaxiang turned pale and was at a loss for what to do.

"What can we do? Are we just going to ignore it?"

Jian Jiaojiao's face was somber. She had grown up during this time and was no longer the person who used to daydream all the time.

You could say she has seen the truth.

"Mom, tell me honestly, what has Father been plotting lately? And what did he mean by what he said to me at the wedding banquet the other day?"

Qiao Yaxiang shook her head with a bitter face, "He didn't tell me either. I was going to ask him when I came back this afternoon. But before I could even ask, that group of people rushed in."

Jian Jiaojiao immediately frowned.

Now, she didn't know what to do.

"For now, we can only wait and see."

"Is there no other way?" Qiao Yaxiang was still unwilling to give up.

Jian Jiaojiao glanced at her, "Mom, do you have any other ideas?"

Qiao Yaxiang looked ashen-faced.

What good solutions could a woman like her possibly have?

Over the years, she has tried her best to play the role of a wealthy wife, and the people she knows are either rich wives or daughters of prominent families.

They can't help with this kind of thing at all.

Even if they could help, they all distanced themselves from Ming after his accident.

There has been virtually no contact between us during this period.

Moreover, even the Zhao family dared not get involved in this matter, let alone since they were not related to him, so how could they possibly help him?

Jian Jiaojiao glanced at Qiao Yaxiang and understood.

"Let's wait a bit. If it really doesn't work, we'll call the police later."

Qiao Yaxiang had no choice but to nod.

...

Unbeknownst to the two, at the same time, Jian Mingpeng had been given the drug given to him by Jian Yixue, which made him mute, severed his tendons, and then dumped at the door of the mental hospital like trash.

They only found out about it the next day when the hospital called.

They rushed to the hospital and learned from the doctor that Jian Mingpeng would be a cripple from now on.

Even if he recovers, he will still be unable to speak or walk, and will be a useless person confined to a wheelchair all day long.

Upon receiving this news, Jian Jiaojiao and Qiao Yaxiang's expressions immediately turned extremely grim.

This news was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for them.

If Jian Mingpeng is crippled, how will he ever be able to take back the Jian family business from Jian Yixue? What worries them even more is that they will have to take care of him and find another way to survive.

The two of them suddenly felt as if the sky was about to fall.

They also reported it to the police, who said it was probably done by overseas gangsters and that it wouldn't be easy to investigate.

And it's very likely that even if it arrives, it will ultimately come to nothing.

In other words, the mother and son have to swallow this bitter pill themselves, especially Jian Mingpeng.

The two exchanged a glance, and both understood each other's meaning in their eyes.

Qiao Yaxiang instructed the doctors to do their best to treat her, and she also hired a caregiver before leaving the hospital.

Back home, Qiao Yaxiang hired a lawyer to prepare for the divorce, hoping to get a larger share of the assets.

After all, Jian Mingpeng can't be relied on in the future.

Two weeks later, Jian Mingpeng had almost fully recovered.

But this is only on the surface.

In reality, he is now unable to speak or move his hands and feet, and will have to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

He knew that Jian Yixue was behind all of this, but he couldn't bring himself to say it, and he couldn't let Jian Yixue pay the price.

His wife and daughters had clearly given up on him.

Sure enough, it was the day before he was allowed to be discharged from the hospital.

Qiao Yaxiang, accompanied by her lawyer, found Jian Mingpeng and forced him to sign the divorce agreement. She saw that almost everything he had worked so hard for over a lifetime had ended up in Qiao Yaxiang's pocket.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Afterwards, Qiao Yaxiang arranged for Jian Mingpeng to be sent to a nursing home.

Thus, Jian Mingpeng, who had schemed his whole life and enjoyed a glorious life for most of it, ended up like this.

It's truly heartbreaking!

Of course, that's all in the future.

...

e-country.

On a huge, unnamed island.

"Long time no see, Shura."

The other person's laughter was extremely sinister and terrifying, like the voice of a ghost, making the silent night even more terrifying.

However, he was covered in blood, so it's easy to imagine that he hadn't been having a good time lately.

On the other side...

Ye Mohan wasn't much better off.

During this time, he and his men got separated while chasing after the jackals.

During this time, he tracked the jackals almost non-stop.

Now, he is all alone, just like the jackal.

However, his face remained calm and composed, showing no fear whatsoever despite his disadvantage.

"Long time no see, jackal."

The jackal laughed coldly and said fiercely, "Haha... It seems that after not seeing you for several years, Shura has become more and more confident. Since you dared to chase after me alone, aren't you afraid that I have already laid a trap here, waiting for you?"

"So what?" Ye Mo said coldly, "It's time for you to pay back the blood debt you owe."

Immediately, Ye Mohan decided to strike first. His figure, shrouded in the night, was like a ghost.

Suddenly, he appeared in front of the jackal.

Upon seeing this, the jackal's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

"Shura, you brought all of this on yourself."

After saying that, he walked straight up.
