Chapter 391 Can't Wait
The child's grandmother insisted on sending us something, so Jiang Yichen took advantage of this opportunity to say, "I'll leave first, take good care of your child." He politely took us away.
Jiang Yichen didn't say much on the way, he just turned around and walked to the side, took out his cell phone and dialed a number. His voice was very low, but I still heard a few words: "Yes, help me find someone... The last name is Chen, Chen Meiling... Yes, the one who caused trouble in the village in the city... Well, as soon as possible."
After hanging up the phone, he walked back to us, looking calm and said, "Wait for news. I've asked someone to check."
Song Yang was obviously a little anxious. He rubbed his hands and asked, "How long will it take? The demolition team can't wait any longer."
Jiang Yichen glanced at him calmly: "There's no point in being anxious. Finding someone is not like buying vegetables. It takes time. Go and appease the residents nearby first and don't let them cause trouble."
Song Yang nodded, although a little reluctantly, but said nothing.
"That's it for now. It's getting late. I'll take Xu Sisi back on the way."
"Okay." I agreed immediately. Before Sisi could respond, Song Yang had already walked to his car and motioned for Xu Sisi to get in.
"Well, I'll leave first. It would be a waste if I don't build this car."
The two disappeared into the night.
I leaned closer to Jiang Yichen and asked in a low voice: "Are you sure you can find her? It's been so many years..."
Jiang Yichen smiled, with a confident look in his eyes: "Don't worry, I have my own way. As long as she is still in this city, I will definitely find her."
"Is that really enough time? Or have you already investigated it?"
"I had heard a little bit about it before, and asked Lin Nan to look up the general information a long time ago. I didn't expect to encounter something like this, but don't worry."
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Yichen's phone rang. He picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and frowned slightly: "Okay, I know."
After hanging up the phone, he turned to us and said, "There is news. Chen Meiling now lives in an old residential area in the west of the city. The specific address has been sent to my phone."
"So fast?" I was a little surprised.
Jiang Yichen nodded: "I have a friend who works in the household registration department, so it would be easier to check. However, I heard that she is not doing well now. She lives alone and has no relatives or friends."
When Song Yang heard this, he immediately came over and said, "Then shall we go find her now?"
Jiang Yichen glanced at him and said coldly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's find out the situation first. If you go, it will only make things worse."
Song Yang was choked and stepped aside awkwardly.
Jiang Yichen turned to me and said in a softer tone: "Momo, come with me. She is a woman after all, so it will be easier for you to communicate with her."
I nodded, but felt a little nervous.
After all, this woman once took away Li Qiang's family's money and almost destroyed their family business. Can he really solve the problem smoothly by going to her now?
Half an hour later, we arrived at an old residential area in the west of the city. The exterior walls of the buildings in the area were mottled, the corridors were full of debris, and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell. According to the address, we found the apartment building where Chen Meiling lived.
Jiang Yichen knocked on the door, and a hoarse female voice came from inside: "Who is it?"
"We are community workers and we are here to understand the situation." Jiang Yichen made up an excuse.
There was silence for a few seconds, and then there was a rustling sound. The door opened a crack, revealing an old and haggard face. Her eyes were alert and tired, her hair was messy and draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a faded housecoat.
"What do you want?" Her voice trembled a little.
I took a step forward and tried to make my tone sound gentle: "Aunt Chen, we are here to help you solve your problem. Do you still remember the house in the urban village?"
Her face turned pale instantly, and her eyes flickered: "That...that's all in the past, why are you still talking about it?"
Jiang Yichen took over the conversation, his tone calm but with a hint of oppression: "Aunt Chen, the property rights of that house are very troublesome now. If you have the agreement from that year, it's best to take it out and have a look, so that everyone won't be embarrassed."
Her fingers gripped the door frame tightly, her knuckles turning white. “I…I don’t have an agreement. I lost it a long time ago.”
Jiang Yichen glanced at me and motioned for me to continue. I took a deep breath and said softly, "Aunt Chen, we know you may have had some difficulties back then, but now it has been so many years, and everyone wants to live a stable life. If you can cooperate, we can help you get some compensation."
Her eyes were a little loose, and her lips trembled slightly: “Really…is it really possible?”
Jiang Yichen nodded: "As long as you are willing to cooperate, everything will be fine."
She was silent for a few seconds, finally let go of the door handle, and whispered, "Come in."
We followed her into the house, which was dimly lit, with old furniture and a strong smell of medicine. She pulled out an old envelope from the cabinet and handed it to Jiang Yichen: "This is the agreement from that year. I have kept it."
Jiang Yichen took the envelope, looked at it carefully, and nodded: "Okay, we will take care of this matter."
When I left, I looked back at Chen Meiling. She was standing at the door with a complicated look in her eyes, as if she had a thousand words to say, but in the end she said nothing.
Jiang Yichen patted my shoulder and said, "Let's go, the problem is solved."
Next we just have to wait for the construction team.
On the way, I was so tired that I fell asleep in the car.
I woke up and saw three unread messages on my phone, so I clicked on them.
"Sister Mo, I'm here."
"Notify me if anything happens, and send me a message when you get home." Plus a cute watch bag.
"Awake? We'll be there soon."
There were no pedestrians on the road anymore, only dim lights.
"Well, I want the construction to be completed as soon as possible. This way I can be more at ease. I don't want anything to go wrong again."
"Of course I'll listen to you, but I'll be a little busy at the company recently, so I may not be able to supervise you every day."
Then, he raised his eyebrows and said, "It depends on our wives."
"Of course, when the project starts, I will return to my old job and do live broadcasts every day."
I looked at him with confidence and we smiled at each other.
"Wife, you are getting better and better." He said with pride. After all, I know very well that my improvement is inseparable from his help.
"Of course, otherwise how can I be your wife."
I responded coquettishly.
Not long after, I arrived home. "Sisi, I'm home. You should go to bed early."
After sending it, I put my phone aside and prepared to sleep until I wake up naturally the next day.
