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...

Chapter 786 A Myriad of Tasks

Jiang Qiao had no feelings for the Jiang family's children, especially after hearing about her niece's behavior; she couldn't be bothered to comment on the matter any further.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, don't worry about so much. Whether they live well or poorly, they are all grown up and should bear the consequences of their own choices."

"If you can't take it anymore, just get a divorce. With you here, at least your daughter will have somewhere to go in the future."

Song Shutian nodded. "That makes sense, so you must take care of your health."

After the acupuncture, Jiang Qiao took out several boxes of herbal tea from her bag and handed them to Jiang Jinyu. "Drink this from now on. I'll write you a prescription—"

"Director, I need to go out with Jiang Qiao later. You'll have to take good care of things here."

Jiang Jinyu waved her hand. "Go ahead and rest assured. I'll personally oversee things. Once you're done, be careful in everything you do. This matter isn't so simple, especially for Jiang Qiao. If you show up now, you'll be a thorn in the enemy's side. If you want to completely solve this case, it's necessary to disguise yourself appropriately."

Jiang Qiao now most wants to know what exactly is going on with Zhao Anbang, because what Liu Zhanyu said makes it impossible for her to make the right judgment.

"Director Jiang, I only heard a brief explanation of what happened with Zhao Anbang from Lao Liu."

With so many people investigating, it's impossible that they couldn't find a single clue.

Besides, with such a big matter, it's impossible that you didn't send someone over. How did it end up like this?

Based on my previous understanding of Mr. Zhao, he shouldn't be a bad person, nor the kind to neglect his duties. For the leadership to value him so highly and place him in that position, he must have considerable ability.

Speaking of this, Jiang Jinyu and Song Shutian both sighed, "Song, you explain it to the girl. Not to mention Jiang Qiao is confused, even someone else probably wouldn't understand."

Jiang Qiao recounted what she knew and then raised her doubts: "Logically speaking, there must be a reason for a fire, but what exactly is the reason that has kept the investigation unsuccessful?"

Besides, even if there was a fire, there should have been guards at the time. Where were the guards?

Even if Zhao Anbang bears responsibility, it's only for negligence. Since he's taken responsibility, then all his superiors, big and small, can't escape it either. After all, it's the subordinates who do the work; he's responsible for the overall direction.

Song Shutian gave a bitter smile. "You're right. First of all, you have to understand how important it is for Lao Zhao to supervise this project. That's the key. All those experimental data and materials will be destroyed in an instant. All those years of hard work by those researchers will be wasted, not to mention the manpower and resources we invested."

Secondly, we did send an investigation team immediately, but the results were not satisfactory. We couldn't find Lao Zhao on the night of the fire; he wasn't the first to appear at the scene of the accident.

His account was that he saw someone acting suspiciously, so he went out to chase after them, but failed to catch them.

This claim cannot be verified until that person is found.

As for the other leaders, the deputy is on leave, and the secretary is in a meeting and has not returned.

The person on duty said they didn't find anyone, and the fire started from inside.

Every day, Lao Zhao and another security officer are the last to leave after they have finished their inspections.

The problem is that after the fire, the security officer committed suicide, so all the blame fell on Lao Zhao.

We also sent people to contact Lao Zhao at the time. My feeling was that he didn't trust anyone and kept repeating the same old story.

So, we had no choice but to make the trip ourselves—”

After listening, Jiang Qiao snorted, "This is all a trap. With one after another not present, only Zhao Anbang is left to take the blame."

What was that investigation team doing? They couldn't even handle such a small matter. What were they doing in the past?

Jiang Jinyu gave a wry smile. "You'll know about this in the future."

Jiang Qiao looked up at Song Shutian, "Was that comrade who committed suicide a real suicide or a fake one? And is it possible that enemy agents have infiltrated the investigation team?"

Song Shutian continued to explain: "According to the information we have gathered, the comrade ostensibly committed suicide, but our people still have doubts. My people have seen the body, but he himself couldn't explain what was wrong with it."

As for whether there are enemy agents mixed in, I can't say for sure; we'll have to go there to find out.

Jiang Qiao frowned slightly. "Who's over there?"

"Zhang Dalei, you've met him before."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "I've met Zhang Dalei. Tell me, none of those people know him or know anything about him."

How about this, we split up. I reckon the enemy planted a bomb on our car because they don't want me to come. I bet they've figured out my intentions too.

They won't let us pass so easily. At that time, you'll be in the open while I'll be in the shadows. In my opinion, this matter isn't difficult to investigate; it's just unclear what exactly went wrong.

Also, has there been an on-site investigation? What caused the fire? It couldn't have started out of nowhere, could it? Was it caused by human intervention or something else?

Jiang Jinyu sighed, "The scene has been destroyed, and there are no investigation results, so this is also a headache for us."

Jiang Qiao sighed, "Alright, it seems you don't have much information here either. Okay, you should get some rest. I'll find a guesthouse to stay in first thing tomorrow morning, and then I'll go meet that old woman."

Jiang Jinyu suggested, "Why don't you two stay here? There are rooms available."

Jiang Qiao waved her hand, "No, you should focus on getting better. My current situation is a bit troublesome, since someone has already set their sights on me. I don't want to cause you any more trouble. You can just support us from behind."

Oh, and remember, take your medicine on time. It's best to have someone you trust prepare the medicine; I'm genuinely afraid the enemy might try to reach you.

Oh, and I also brought some antidote with me. I hope you won't need it.

Jiang Qiao arrived quickly and left just as fast. She didn't even need Jiang Jinyu to see her off; she and Song Shutian jumped into the car and drove off.

Watching Jiang Qiao and the others leave, Jiang Jinyu sighed. This trip was actually quite dangerous. He didn't know much about the situation there, but because of the complexity of the situation, he had no choice but to agree to let Jiang Qiao get involved.

Song Shutian even invited Jiang Qiao to stay at their home.

"No way, I won't go to anyone's house. Take me to where the veterans live, and I can visit them while I'm there."

Jiang Qiao's arrival surprised the veterans, mainly because they had heard that Jiang Qiao had been in a coma for four years and had only recently recovered. They hadn't heard that the child was coming, especially at this time.

"Girl, what happened? Why are you here at this hour?"

Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "I came here on business and also stopped by to see you all. How are you all doing?"
