"Is that so? You can try. Comrade Xu Ya, there's something I want to remind you. Your Xu family's downfall is due to your improper conduct. You can't blame anyone else. If I don't take action today, someone else will tomorrow."
In a game of strategy, nobody wants to be at a disadvantage.
Even the slightest misstep would put them at a disadvantage, with consequences they could not afford.
"Is that so? Then I hope you will always feel that way, Jiang Cheng. I'll be going now. I apologize for disturbing you today."
He left politely, but Jiang Cheng remained unsettled for a long time. His hands clenched unconsciously, and everyone could see his nervousness.
"Jiang Cheng, how about..."
"Dad, no need, it might be fake!"
This was Jiang Cheng's intuition. He had heard about Xu Ya's character before, and if it were true, Xu Ya would never have come to his door like this today.
Instead, they came with incriminating evidence on the very first day the incident occurred.
He waited so long, it wasn't for nothing, he just wanted to confirm, but it seemed the person wasn't there.
"Um."
Father Jiang didn't want to say anything more.
After all, if we really have to calculate it, is it him who wronged Jiang Cheng, or Jiang Zuoque?
Li Yi glanced in the direction Xu Ya had left, then looked at Jiang Cheng. He'd already used the tracking talisman; it would be a shame not to go check it out.
After giving Li Laoda a look, the father and daughter quietly slipped away. Jiang Yuting saw this but didn't say anything.
I've been suppressing my daughter's feelings for too long lately; if I continue, I'm afraid there will be a backlash.
"Father, do you think my aunt and the others are in Xu Ya's hands?"
Once outside, Li Yi asked this question, and was immediately reprimanded by Boss Li.
"Don't shout randomly. Your uncle has already separated from Comrade Su Qing. If you want to call her aunt, you should wait until your uncle wins her back."
There are quite a few people watching the Jiang family, but there's not much they can do. The only thing they can do is be careful with their words and actions.
"Understood, Father."
Li Yiyi indicated that she remembered, pointing in a direction that was where Xu Ya had gone.
Following Xu Ya, the two arrived at another, seemingly secluded place. Xu Ya remained somewhat cautious, turning around to look before entering the house.
Only after confirming that no one was there did they open the door and go inside.
His suspicious behavior and various signs indicate that there must be someone in Xu Yajin's house.
Dad, go!
Pointing to the wall, Li Yiyi gestured for Boss Li to go ahead. It didn't matter where she was; she could see everything with her divine sense.
But Boss Li is different. If Boss Li doesn't go up, he won't be able to see anything. If he doesn't go up, the trip will be in vain.
OK,
With Li Yiyi's help, Boss Li easily climbed onto the wall.
They climbed the wall and looked into the courtyard. No one was there; they must be inside. Just as they were considering whether to jump, Xu Ya made the decision for them.
"What? The person hasn't been found yet."
A soft, coquettish laugh—it sounded like Xu Ya's voice; no one else had that kind of temper.
“You’re all useless! So much time has passed and we haven’t seen a single person. Xu Fang, remember this: although my Xu family has fallen on hard times, the same way we put you in power back then will bring you down to earth.”
She was furious, especially after her father's recent downfall, which made Xu Ya even more anxious.
If the person in front of her could keep a good eye on her, she wouldn't be so ashamed to even lift her head in front of Jiang Cheng.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, she wouldn't have known that someone was playing tricks right under her nose.
She didn't know when they ran away, and only told her today.
“Miss Xu Ya, we are just business partners. My father and I don’t owe you anything, nor are we your subordinates.”
After being scolded for so long, Xu Fang finally couldn't take it anymore.
Xu Ya has a spoiled princess temperament, but she doesn't. If it weren't for her father constantly stopping her, she wouldn't have put up with it for so long.
She even helped her father rise to power; that sounds so nice.
The capital city is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the county town. The Xu family is just a little money, not to the point of having all the power in the world. Do you really think that Xu's father got the position of soap factory manager because of the Xu family?
In her opinion, it's more like the Xu family is dragging them down. Relatives who haven't been in contact for centuries suddenly reconnect, and the first thing they say is to ask them to look at the people.
It's ridiculous. They don't do anything illegal themselves, and just dump it on them without saying a word. Do they really think they're stupid?
Another thing is, after the people were sent there, they didn't utter a single word for over a decade. You only need to contact them when you need more people.
Are they human-making machines, or Xu Ya's dogs?
"Dad, let's go. Don't put up with this. Who do you think you are!"
Xu Fang forcefully pulled her "weak" father out, her face grim.
"Get out of here."
Pushing Xu Ya aside, Xu Fang angrily flung open the door; she wasn't about to put up with this humiliation.
Mr. Xu smiled with satisfaction, looking at his hand being held by Xu Fang, then turned to give Xu Ya a grateful smile.
If it weren't for Xu Ya, his daughter's transformation plan might never have succeeded.
According to Xu Ya, coming to Beijing is just part of training their daughter.
Xu Fang, with that familiar voice,
Li Yiyi remembered. Who was Xu Fang? Hmm, she was Zhu Kou's ex-wife, the one they didn't end up marrying.
Xu Fang's father and Xu Ya have a relationship; judging from the conversation, it seems to be because of someone...
Li Yiyi's intuition told her that the person was most likely her uncle's wife and son.
Boss Li: Intuition? I can guess without even thinking.
When the person came out, Li Yiyi was certain it was Xu Ya, the one she knew, the one who pursued romance.
"Ahhh"
"Stop right there, all of you! Who gave you permission to leave?"
