When talking about the reason why Dong Jiaxue was taken away, we have to start from the day when the news about Dong’s biological daughter broke out.
The man in front of him was the one Helian Rui called in anger that day in the hospital. After receiving the order to find out the culprit, he immediately got busy.
Finally, the clue was found to be the girl Dong Jiaxue; after informing Helian Rui, he got a new task, which was to take Dong Jiaxue away and secretly send her to a brothel in Country A as a punishment.
When the girl and Aunt Mei got into the car at the same time, the man planned to give up this opportunity and take action another day when Dong Jiaxue was alone. He then reported the situation in the car to Helian Rui.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party actually ordered him to send both of them away.
So, there was the video of him deliberately disrupting the surveillance camera's view and finally driving on the winding mountain road.
The two people in the car were picked up by a vehicle he arranged in a blind spot of surveillance on the winding mountain road, and he pushed the car directly off a thousand-foot cliff, so it disappeared.
When they were in the car, Aunt Mei recognized his identity the moment she saw him; but she did not ask any questions and just obeyed the arrangement resignedly. However, Dong Jiaxue was noisy and restless in the car. The man could not stand her noise and finally knocked the girl unconscious with a slap.
Aunt Mei didn't stop him when she saw this, but just looked at him coldly and asked him in disbelief who gave the order.
After learning that it was the old man who gave the order himself, she just smiled bitterly and said nothing more. She did not make any inappropriate moves along the way until they arrived at the location where the pick-up vehicle had been arranged in advance. The woman inexplicably left a sentence: "Take care of yourself", and obediently followed the visitor away.
Later, his subordinates sent the two abroad through special channels and arranged for them to stay in a brothel in Country A.
This club was also secretly run by Mrs. Daisy, and as expected, it was closed down when Duke Watson dealt with their family.
After understanding the whole story, Wilding was the first to react.
He had also been involved in the subsequent handling of the side branch, and he had a memory of the club the man had mentioned. However, when he was investigating the identities of everyone inside after the seizure, he didn't remember Dong Jiaxue and Aunt Mei. Fearing his memory was wrong, he immediately ordered Ding Yi to review the list.
After hearing the whole story, Jiang Luoning still felt that something was wrong, but he had no idea whether they had overlooked something or missed some important information.
Fu Linxiao looked at Chen Xu who was silent, and was also very anxious; the little girl's emotions that had just been relieved were brought up again at this moment, and at the same time he felt a bit of self-blame; after all, the person was taken away under their noses, and they couldn't help but feel that it was their carelessness that led to the current situation.
After leaving the interrogation room, everyone sat on the sofa in silence, unsure how to resolve this situation. Dong Jiaxue, clearly the victim of Helian Rui's punishment, had now reappeared safe and sound, and where was the mysterious Aunt Mei? Would she seek revenge on Jiang Luoning for her feelings for Mrs. Dong? Or would she pose a threat to the Dong family or Chen Xu?
After a brief lull, Fu Linxiao's cold voice broke the silence, and the look he gave the man was filled with ambiguous emotions.
"Chen Xu, how much do you know about Aunt Mei?"
The man was still thinking about the news he had just heard during the interrogation. He was suddenly asked a question and came back to his senses. He realized that everyone was looking at him with expectant eyes, so he collected his thoughts and recalled the past about Aunt Mei.
"Aunt Mei has always held a very high position in the Dong family. Whatever she says can fully represent Chen Ziqiu, especially the Dong family's secret guards! She has always been responsible for arranging and dispatching them. As for the relationship between her and Helian Rui, I'm not very clear. Anyway, whether before my father came to power or after he fell ill, she was always by Chen Ziqiu's side!"
"So she has been staying in the Dong family for all these years?"
"No, she leaves for a while every year. I don't know what she does there. I once asked Chen Ziqiu, and she just said she was going home to visit her family!"
As Jiang Luoning asked, he heard Chen Xu's denial. Ah Xing looked at him with a puzzled expression. Perhaps thinking of everyone's previous investigation on Aunt Mei, knowing that she had been picked up by Chen Ziqiu since she was a child, she spoke frankly about her inner doubts.
"Isn't she an orphan? What kind of relatives are you visiting?"
In response, Chen Xu just shook his head to indicate that he didn't know the specific details, and that he had just heard Chen Ziqiu mention them inadvertently.
"Actually, I never paid much attention to her before. It wasn't until I overheard their conversation at the old house that I realized she was involved in all this."
The conversation Chen Xu mentioned was his first face-to-face confrontation with Chen Ziqiu after he ran away from home. Everyone also learned the truth about the warehouse fire from that recording. The conversation between the two also made everyone understand that Aunt Mei was not just a housekeeper, but they did not expect Helian Rui to actually attack her.
Jiang Luoning recalled Fu Linxiao's expression when he heard the truth from everyone. Although the woman had been punished accordingly and she also felt the pain that Aunt Wan'er had suffered, the little girl still felt that this matter was a knot in her heart for the man, so she changed the subject so as not to make the man sad again.
"Then how much does Uncle Dong know about her?"
Hearing this, Chen Xu still shook his head. Ever since Dong Zicheng woke up, they hadn't talked much about Chen Ziqiu and the others, as if they had agreed to avoid talking about it. After all, those things brought them a lot of bad memories.
Dong Zicheng still sometimes has some confusion about many of his previous memories, because he was controlled by poison and drugs for too long. Even though his body has recovered for the most part now, it still caused some mental damage. Compared with his situation, Chen Xu is relatively better off. He was just attacked by the poison of the sacred tree, which did not cause any worse effects on his body. Moreover, he is no longer in danger due to the interference of Ah Xing's drugs in the middle.
Faced with a barrage of questions, Chen Xu couldn't give an accurate answer, which made him very frustrated. However, due to the current situation, he didn't have time to react. Thinking of the possible consequences of this matter, he looked around and made his decision. He looked at the lifeless crowd and said in a deep voice;
"Brother Fu, Ningning! I want to go back to the capital first and have my father and I investigate Aunt Mei's past, as well as what happened to Dong Jiaxue before she returned to the Dong family!"
Fu Linxiao looked at the man without replying. Instead, he turned to look at the little girl, as if waiting for her to make a decision on the matter.
"Brother! You and Chen Xu should go back together! You've been away from the capital for too long, and it's bound to make your family suspicious!"
Noticing the questioning look in Fu Linxiao's eyes, Jiang Luoning still gave his own considerations.
After hearing his sister's decision, Jiang Linghao thought for a moment and finally agreed; after all, with Chen Xu's current physical condition, everyone would inevitably feel a little worried if they really let him suffer like this alone.
