Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Hou Diankui didn't stand on ceremony with Song Shutian and the others. He went straight in and found a seat.
Zhou Yu was anxious. "What's the good news? Tell me quickly, I'm so impatient!"
Jian Ling smiled and pointed outside, "We brought someone with us when we came. It was Master Hou who caught him. Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? Master Hou couldn't sleep, and he actually managed to catch a bad guy. Tsk tsk, what do you call that? The net of justice is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it."
Judging from Jian Ling's appearance, Jiang Qiao suspected that the person Hou Diankui had captured was no ordinary person.
"Aunt Jian, come, sit down and have some water. Master Hou, can you tell everyone what exactly happened?"
Jiang Qiao poured water for Jian Ling. If Jian Ling continued to act so arrogantly, who knew how long it would take? It would be better to let the old man do it.
Hou Diankui speaks much more directly, without using so many embellishments.
"It's quite a coincidence, actually. You guys were on a mission last night, and I didn't go back to Jiang Qiao's place. I was a little worried about you guys acting like that, so I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. I had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk. The more I stay at home, the more I tend to overthink things."
Who would have thought that I would run into someone halfway through my stroll? Normally, I wouldn't be surprised to run into someone at this time, since there are people getting off their night shifts.
But this person was different from others. I could sense the blood and murderous aura emanating from him from a great distance. So, when we met, I paid attention to him. My goodness, I never expected to run into an acquaintance so many years later.
I dealt with this person before, and I won't go into details about our past. However, I knew his identity back then, so I brought him back. Now, go down and interrogate him. See if you find anything.
Song Shutian and the others were at a loss for words to express their gratitude.
"Master Hou, you've gone to so much trouble. I'll go down and take a look right away."
Zhang Dalei and Song Shutian went out together, leaving Cao Mingyuan and Jiang Qiao to continue discussing the matter.
At the crucial moment, Hou Diankui sent them a helper, and everyone stopped rushing to leave, waiting for the confession to come out.
Jian Ling spoke first, "I reckon this person was part of the group that took action last night. I just don't know how they got back? When I went over, I tried to interrogate them, but this guy's tight-lipped, so I didn't succeed—"
Just as Jiang Jinyu was about to ask Jiang Qiao to go down and help, the internal phone rang. It was Song Shutian calling. They didn't have time to waste with him. If he didn't speak, they wouldn't know where Cobra and his men had gone.
Especially since the delegation is about to arrive, if these people aren't caught soon, they might cause trouble, and then things will really get out of control.
"Jiang Qiao, go down and see what's going on. Make sure they talk. There's no time."
Jiang Qiao was aware of this as well. "Okay, you guys chat first, I'll go take a look."
Jian Ling wasn't afraid of causing trouble. "Don't hold back, girl. Do whatever's convenient for you. I'm giving you a chance to get revenge—"
Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but laugh. Jian Ling was just too cute and straightforward. No wonder Jiang Qiao was willing to hide so much from this couple. To be honest, she was a little envious of Jiang Qiao.
When Jiang Qiao arrived, Zhang Dalei was smoking outside the door. "What's wrong? Not going well?"
Zhang Dalei looked frustrated. "Don't even mention it. This guy keeps saying that Master Hou is crazy, that he's a good person, that he was arrested by a madman, and that he even complained to us about it."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "Oh dear, this is a case of the guilty party accusing the innocent first. Master Hou said that this person used to be in that line of work. If the old man wasn't absolutely certain, he wouldn't have arrested him so easily. Do you really think we have no evidence and he can just fool us?"
Come on, let's go inside and take a look—
Zhang Dalei glanced at Jiang Qiao and said, "Hey, Jiang Qiao, have you turned back to your original form? I bet when that guy sees you, he won't even need you to lift a finger. Hehe, they all know your reputation."
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "It can't be that bad. Let's go in and take a look. If we can scare them, that's great. If not, we have other ideas."
Jiang Qiao arrived, and Zhang Dalei followed behind her, looking quite energetic. He was thinking to himself, "Serves you right for not telling the truth. This time, we've got our help. Let's see if you can pull this off."
Jiang Qiao's skills were beyond Zhang Dalei's comprehension, and he walked in with a gloating smile.
The man sitting opposite Song Shutian looked up at the two people who had come in.
He had met Zhang Dalei before, and the other man's eyes were fixed on Jiang Qiao.
He brought a woman over, and it seemed she was pregnant. He didn't think Jiang Qiao was fat; if she were really fat, her face would have a lot of flesh on it.
When Jiang Qiao's eyes met the other woman's, the man suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end; there was a murderous aura in her eyes.
Jiang Qiao sat down immediately, her eyes never leaving the man.
"Don't want to talk? What do you mean? Do you want to die or are you itching for a beating? You'll only talk if we take action?"
Jiang Qiao's words made the man, who had been looking down, suddenly raise his head again and look Jiang Qiao up and down.
He really didn't recognize the woman in front of him, but her tone was incredibly aggressive; he'd never seen anyone so arrogant.
Jiang Qiao's sharp gaze made him feel a chill; this woman was no ordinary person.
However, the other party still couldn't figure out who Jiang Qiao was. In his memory, there was a woman who was quite powerful, but that woman was already dead. When did this one appear? Never heard of her?
"I have nothing to say. I didn't commit any crime. I was just walking along normally, so why are you arresting me?"
Jiang Qiao swiftly pulled out the silver needles. The man's eyes widened when he saw the thing in Jiang Qiao's hand. If he wasn't mistaken, the dead Jiang Qiao seemed to have interrogated people in the same way.
"You, you're not dead? You're Jiang Qiao?"
Jiang Qiao snorted, "What, are you trying to kill me?"
The man shook his head in fright; even if that was what he thought, he didn't dare say it aloud.
"No, no, no, I just heard it from someone. I didn't expect you to be alive and well."
Jiang Qiao glared at the other person and said, "Since you know who I am, then I don't need to go through any more formalities, right? You should have heard of who I am. Let me tell you straight, it's not an exaggeration. If you don't tell the truth, I can cut you into a thousand pieces, and you won't even die."
The man shuddered in fright; he had heard about his third uncle's situation back then.
"No need, no need, why would I let you go through that trouble? Just ask, I'll tell you what I know, I'll definitely cooperate."
