Chapter 441 Let Xunxun accept grandma first
When the glass door of the police station closed behind her, Jiang Shutong looked up at the midday sun, and the bright sunlight made her squint.
Lao Chen's lawyer just handed over the bail documents.
The driver and bodyguard who had been with her for thirty years was now taking all the blame inside.
Falsification of evidence, illegal detention, and attempted intentional injury.
Of course, after taking the blame, Jiang Shutong will take good care of this person's family.
Moreover, this person will only be in prison for a maximum of one year before being released on bail, and will receive a large sum of money after he is released.
In fact, many people are rushing to do this.
But such things must be done by confidants, otherwise there will be risks!
"Ma'am, the car is ready."
The new driver respectfully opened the car door, and the leather seat was padded with warm cashmere.
When Jiang Shutong sat in the car, her fingertips touched the recorder in the armrest box. It was the one that Han Lingcui played in the factory. It was registered as evidence by the police and was "accidentally" retrieved by the lawyer this morning.
She pressed the play button, and her voice threatening Han Lingcui echoed in the car, with a somewhat uncontrolled sharpness.
Jiang Shutong suddenly laughed, and there was no trace of embarrassment in her laughter.
Old Chen did things cleanly. All the transfer records pointed to his personal grudges. Even the disappearance of the truck driver five years ago was taken away by him as his own way of dealing with "trouble".
"The Xuanyuan family's reputation cannot be ruined by having me, the head mistress, go to jail."
She adjusted her temples in the rearview mirror, and the mirror reflected the deep calculation in her eyes.
"It doesn't matter if Ge'er hates me now. Once he understands who is truly paving the way for him, he will naturally turn back."
As soon as the car entered the villa area, the housekeeper came to greet us.
"The old man is waiting for you in the study, and he's in a very bad mood."
When Jiang Shutong pushed open the door of the study, the old man was playing with a pair of walnuts. The magnolia buds outside the window were drooping under the weight of the snow, just like the morning five years ago when she had ruined Han Lingcui.
"You are quite capable."
The old man didn't even look up. "Let Old Chen take the blame and trample on the Xuanyuan family's face."
"It's better than having Han Lingcui leak the recording to the media."
Jiang Shutong walked to the tea table and boiled water. The Longjing tea in the purple clay teapot expanded. "Didn't you do the same thing when you asked me to get rid of the woman outside?"
The old man paused, and the crisp sound of walnuts colliding came to an abrupt end.
He looked up at her, the stern look in his eyes gradually turning into a complex one: "That's different, that's an outsider."
"Han Lingcui is also an outsider, but Xunxun is the root of the Xuanyuan family."
Jiang Shutong pushed the teacup in front of him, the heat blurring her expression.
"I've checked Shen Hanxing's background. Her husband, Qi Moxun, holds shares in several listed companies. We won't get any benefits if we confront him head-on."
"Chen Hanxing is not a pushover. She's already been investigating what happened five years ago."
Jiang Shutong tapped the table with her fingertips, the rhythm was slow but with unquestionable power.
"Ge'er is now fully focused on protecting Han Lingcui. If I take action again, it will only push him further away. How about..."
She leaned close to the old man's ear and whispered. The sunlight filtered through the blinds, casting mottled shadows on her face like a carefully woven web.
…
When Shen Hanxing sent Xunxun to kindergarten, Qi Moxun's car was already waiting at the door.
The man was wearing a dark gray coat and holding a freshly printed document in his hand. The scar on his brow was faintly visible in the morning light.
"The interrogation record of Lao Chen has been released."
He opened the car door and let her get in.
"He insisted that he kidnapped you out of resentment for Han Lingcui's 'stealing' your position. All the evidence matched up, even the account he used to transfer money to the truck driver five years ago was opened under a pseudonym."
Chen Hanxing flipped through the documents, his fingertips pausing on the three words "mental hospital": "Jiang Shutong's handwriting is flawless."
"This is even more interesting."
Qi Moxun pulled up the surveillance screenshots on his phone. In the footage, a woman in cleaning clothes was disinfecting the slide in the kindergarten.
"This is the new cleaner who arrived this morning. Fingerprint comparison shows she's Jiang Shutong's distant cousin. Three years ago, her kindergarten teacher certification was revoked for child abuse."
Shen Hanxing's heart suddenly shrank. Xunxun said yesterday that she loved playing on the slide the most.
"I've had the principal fire her because her health certificate has expired."
Qi Moxun held her cold hand and said, "But this is just the beginning. Jiang Shutong will not give up."
Outside the car window, a black Bentley drove slowly past, and Shen Hanxing recognized that it was the Xuanyuan family's car.
Jiang Shutong actually came in person and was standing next to the security room at the entrance of the kindergarten, holding a Disney backpack in her hand and with a kind smile on her face.
"What is she planning?" Shen Hanxing frowned.
"I'm thinking of Xunxun."
Qi Moxun started the car. "A soft policy. First, let the child develop a good impression of her, and then gradually break down our defenses."
"What does Jiang Shutong care about most?" she asked.
"The control of the Xuanyuan family, and her place in Ge'er's heart."
Qi Moxun stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out like an arrow. "Then let's destroy the thing she cares about most first."
When Jiang Shutong went to the kindergarten to pick up Xunxun for the first time, she was carrying the latest Transformers and a gift box of imported fruits.
Xunxun hid behind Shen Hanxing, her little hands tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, like a frightened little animal.
"Xunxun doesn't recognize grandma anymore?"
Jiang Shutong squatted down, trying to make her voice sound gentle, "Grandma bought you Optimus Prime, the one you said you wanted last time."
Xunxun lowered her head even lower: "Mom said we can't ask for things from strangers."
Shen Hanxing gently stroked the child's back and looked at Jiang Shutong calmly.
"Ms. Jiang, the kindergarten has a rule that no one other than parents can pick up children."
"I'm his grandmother."
Jiang Shutong's smile froze for a moment, then relaxed again.
"Han Xing, I know there were some misunderstandings before, but Xunxun is still the child of the Xuanyuan family. You see, it's not easy for you to take care of him. Why don't I take him to the amusement park this weekend? Just consider it as making up for all these years."
"No need."
Chen Hanxing took Xunxun's hand and turned to leave. "Xunxun is going to an art exhibition this weekend. He's very interested in Impressionism."
Looking at the backs of the mother and son, the smile on Jiang Shutong's face completely disappeared.
She took out her phone and dialed a number: "Send me the information about the art exhibition that Shen Hanxing mentioned. Also, check what projects Qi Moxun has been involved in recently."
After hanging up the phone, she looked up at the kindergarten's surveillance camera with a sneer on her face.
Did Shen Hanxing think that hiding the child would be safe? She had plenty of ways to make Xunxun throw herself at her.
Three days later, Shen Hanxing received a message from the kindergarten teacher saying that Xunxun suddenly vomited uncontrollably during the handicraft class and was sent to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with food poisoning.
When Shen Hanxing rushed to the hospital, Jiang Shutong was already guarding the bedside, feeding Xunxun porridge with a spoon.
