Shen Qingwan was still stunned by what had just happened. When she saw Jiang Ran, she couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ran, how...how do you know Young Master Huo?"
"I only bumped into him by chance before, I don't know him at all!"
"You scared Mommy to death! Mommy thought you..."
"Where is he? Has he already left?"
"Hmm...he looked a little unwell when he left. You...really don't recognize him?"
Jiang Ran patted her back reassuringly: "We really don't know each other, Mom, don't overthink it."
At this moment, Jiang Minghui arrived with a heavy expression.
"Xiao Ran, why were you so inconsiderate just now? How could you just leave like that!"
Jiang Ran rolled her eyes in annoyance. If he wanted to please Huo Siyan so much, why didn't he just get a sex change? Wouldn't that be better?
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Jiang Minghui became even angrier.
That brat! She had such a good chance to curry favor with Young Master Huo, and she just let it go! She's completely useless!
What a great opportunity!
What a pity!
Jiang Ran ignored him and went off with Shen Qingwan to greet the other guests.
Tonight, there's someone who's almost driven half to death by anger.
Jiang Xinrou was currently going crazy in the room, smashing all the furnishings on the floor, leaving it in a complete mess.
"Ah!" She was curled up on the floor, screaming wildly.
Why should I?!
Why is it that tonight she has become a laughingstock for her own wishful thinking, while Jiang Ran has won Huo Siyan's favor!
That's not fair!
Why does all the good things fall on Jiang Ran?
It must be that bitch Jiang Ran who stole my luck!
Ever since she came to the Jiang family, her luck has been getting worse and worse. It must be that she stole the fortune that originally belonged to her!
She was not satisfied! She wanted revenge!
Three days later.
Jiang Ran got up very early because she received a phone call early that morning.
It was the phone number on the business card Huo Siyan gave her that night.
It is said that his name is Nishino, and he appears to be Huo Siyan's assistant.
She received a call from him early this morning, saying that there was progress on the matter she had asked him to handle.
Jiang Ran arrived at a dilapidated old neighborhood according to the address given by Xi Ye.
The events of my second sister's past happened too long ago. She asked the people under Xia Shiwen's father to investigate for a long time, but they only found that one recording. There were no other clues at all.
Looking at the dilapidated house in front of her, Jiang Ran checked the address Nishino had sent her on her phone and confirmed that this was the place.
As expected of the Huo family, they found a clue so quickly!
Jiang Qinghe is still facing strong backlash online, but despite this, the variety show she previously announced has not been affected by netizens and has been recorded on schedule.
I heard that the first two episodes have already been recorded and will be broadcast soon.
She couldn't even imagine how much cyberbullying her second sister would suffer if these two episodes aired!
Therefore, she must find out the truth of what happened back then as soon as possible and clear her name!
Jiang Ran looked at the stained door number in front of her and was about to knock when the door was opened by the person inside.
Immediately afterwards, a large, dark mass of people poured out from inside.
Jiang Ran was startled and quickly took several steps back to watch from a safe distance.
A middle-aged man was being pinned to the ground and punched and kicked by a group of burly men, emitting cries of pain.
"You son of a bitch! You still dare to owe money and not pay it back! Come on, beat him to death!"
"Oh...please...ah! I'll find a way to pay you back right away..."
"Do you think I'm stupid? How many times have you said that? Where's the money?!"
"Brother... give me some more time, I'm sure I can win it back! As soon as I win, I'll pay you back right away!" The middle-aged man lying on the ground pleaded desperately, his face swollen like a pig's head.
"Pah!" The burly man with a black dragon tattoo on his arm spat out a mouthful of spittle and roared, "You dare to lie to me! Have you forgotten that you said the same thing before? And what happened? You actually dared to run back to your hometown! Didn't expect that we could find you even if you ran back to your hometown!"
"Brother... I was wrong... I'll go get the money right away..."
"I don't care about you! You still have to pay back the money, and we're going to get back at you too! Beat him up!"
"......"
One wailing sound after another echoed throughout the building. After an unknown amount of time, the group of burly men finally left, their arms around each other's shoulders.
Jiang Ran's lips twitched a few times as she looked at the middle-aged man whose face was bruised and swollen.
Jiang Ran took out the photo from her bag and compared it with the person in front of her. However, the man's face was covered in bruises, and it took her a while to confirm that he was the person in the photo.
He is Su Xiong, the adoptive father of Su Yun, the girl who died that year.
It was he who produced Su Yun's suicide note that led to the case being closed as a suicide.
According to Nishino's investigation, after this incident, Su Xiong's bank account received an extra sum of money of unknown origin, totaling 20 million yuan.
The account from which Su Xiong received the money belonged to a person named Wang Tao.
Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Wang Tao came from an extremely poor family. How could someone like that possibly come up with 20 million?
Upon further investigation, it turned out that Wang Tao was actually Jiang Minghui's assistant!
The truth is self-evident: back then, Jiang Minghui bribed Su Yun's adoptive father, Su Xiong, and transferred embezzled funds to Su Xiong through his assistant. Only then did Su Xiong produce the suicide note to prove that Su Yun died by suicide.
