"What?"
Hearing this, the group was taken aback.
"Impossible! How could someone like her risk her life?"
Jiang Ran didn't believe she would commit suicide. Not long ago, she had conjured up a child out of thin air in order to save her life. Why would she commit suicide now?
How could that be!
She must have had another reason for doing this.
Just then, the secretary said, "The car that was taking her to the hospital for emergency treatment was in an accident on the way, and the entire car, along with the people inside, was burned to death."
"ah?"
Everyone was stunned again.
Jiang Ran was the first to ask a question: "Can you be sure that Jiang Xinrou is really in that car?"
This is such a coincidence.
Jiang Xinrou, who is so afraid of death, would never commit suicide, but she did.
There's only one reason she did this: suicide was just a pretext; she just wanted to use the suicide attempt to get out of there.
The timing of this car accident is too coincidental; everyone assumes Jiang Xinrou is dead in it, but...
What if this is just a tactic she uses to evade responsibility?
"Staff members watched her get into the car, and the police have also investigated the surveillance footage of that section of the road. The car did not stop along the way."
Jiang Ran rolled her eyes, deep in thought.
Could it be... that the car accident wasn't part of Jiang Xinrou's plan?
Could it be that her plan was to deliberately commit suicide to escape from prison, intending to get to the hospital before leaving, but she didn't expect that something would actually happen on the way to the hospital?
Or... was the car accident just one step in her plan to escape?
"So...she's really dead?" Jiang Qinghe was also shocked when she heard the news.
Although she had always hated her, she never expected Jiang Xinrou to die in this way.
Did he really die in a car accident?
“Yes…” The secretary nodded: “When the rescue team arrived, her body was already charred.”
is that so?
Jiang Ran still felt something was off. She felt there was something fishy about Jiang Xinrou's death, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Logically speaking, since she was watched by staff to get into the car and the car didn't stop along the way, the person in the car must undoubtedly be her.
She's really dead? Her body was even charred?
She felt like something was off...
However, Jiang Xinrou did not have the ability to do anything inside the prison.
Getting pregnant before her execution was the best she could do; if she could have switched places in prison, she wouldn't have been arrested.
So, she probably died in the car accident. As for her doubts, perhaps she was overthinking it, probably because she hadn't rested well due to being busy with exams recently.
She looked at the warm family and commanded herself to stop thinking about it.
Now that she has a happy family and so many people who care about her, she should enjoy the present moment even more.
In this life, she finally has a happy family and loving relatives, and she can finally do what she loves without worry.
Four years later.
As dusk fell, the setting sun painted the entire sky with crimson hues.
"Brother, are you back from your business trip yet? Don't forget you're going to Second Sister's concert tomorrow night."
Jiang Ran hurriedly came out of the school, wearing a light yellow dress, her steps quick.
The setting sun cast its glow on her face, a gentle breeze caressed her hair, and the soft strands danced in the wind. Her face was bright and charming, her skin fair and delicate, radiating a sense of purity and freshness.
Her eyes scanned the row of cars, searching for the one that was coming to pick her up.
Just then, a somewhat familiar-looking person stood in front of her.
"Miss Jiang."
Upon seeing him, Jiang Ran was stunned. She felt that he looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before, but she couldn't immediately recall who he was.
She thought about this person carefully in her mind, and it took her a full minute to remember him.
"You are... Huo... Huo Siyan's special assistant, Wen Qing?"
He was the one Huo Siyan sent to help her back then.
It was quite a surprise to see him here; without a doubt, Huo Siyan must have sent him.
She had thought they would never cross paths again.
Years ago, after she took her revenge, she went to see him and offered to pay him for his help, but he said it wasn't the right time yet.
She never saw him again after that.
Furthermore, he had never contacted her in those four years, and she thought he had long forgotten about the incident and about her as well.
Why has he suddenly appeared now?
"Miss Jiang, Mr. Huo invites you in."
"good..."
Jiang Ran did not refuse. She was a woman of her word, and she would pay him whatever he wanted, no matter what he asked for.
In recent years, she has seen news about Huo Siyan and heard some colleagues mention him.
Not long ago, there were rumors about him. Four years ago, he returned to the United States to compete with the other two young masters of the Huo family for the position of heir. Just like the ancient princes competing for the throne, the process was full of bloodshed and cruelty.
She had also heard a lot of gossip about the Huo family. She heard that Mr. Huo was forced by his parents to marry a daughter of a family of equal social standing, but he always had a white moonlight in his heart, and the two had already had two children.
Those two children are now the other two young masters of the Huo family, and also Huo Siyan's two older brothers.
Huo Siyan was the only child of Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo after their marriage. Originally, he should have been the sole heir, but with the passing of the head of the Huo family, Mr. Huo seized power and became even more indulgent in his "white moonlight" (his mistress), even bringing her into their home.
Four years ago, he returned to the United States because Mr. Huo wanted to change the heir.
He has now taken over the Huo Group and become the current CEO, so it seems he has won this competition.
Wen Qing respectfully opened the car door for her. Jiang Ran was about to get in the car, but she was stunned when she saw the person in the car.
She was stunned for a moment because she didn't expect Huo Siyan to be in the car.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Ran got into the car and sat down in the seat next to him.
Four years had passed, and he seemed more composed than before.
His face remained as cold and hard as ever. His well-tailored white shirt accentuated his slender figure, and his expression was devoid of any superfluous emotion. However, the imposing aura emanating from him made the small space even more suffocating.
Suddenly, Jiang Ran's gaze sharpened as she noticed a new scar on his collarbone below his collar.
It seems that the position of heir to a wealthy family isn't so easy to win...
A little awkwardly, Jiang Ran moved to the side and broke the silence first: "I heard that President Huo recently took over the Huo Group. He is truly young and promising. Congratulations!"
Such stiff compliments only made the atmosphere more awkward.
Jiang Ran awkwardly scratched her hair and simply turned her head to look out the window.
"Ahem... What brings you to see me today, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Siyan's tightly pursed lips curled slightly: "Demand my payment."
