Chapter 219 Interrogation
After hearing Jiang Wanning's reply, Aunt An quickly stepped forward and helped Jiang Wanning, who had limited mobility, to wash up, change clothes, and go downstairs.
Jiang Qingyan was already sitting in the living room, eating breakfast. Seeing her coming over, he didn't seem too surprised: "You're awake."
"Did you see anyone?"
Jiang Qingyan didn't say much, and after what happened yesterday, he looked much more haggard.
Come to think of it, he was the only one running the law firm. He had been busy with both the group and the law firm recently because of his parents' affairs. Then he encountered such a big "accident" yesterday, and his sister was seriously injured and fell into a coma again.
It was as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting apart. In the end, he was the only one holding on. I think no one would feel too good about it.
Thanks to his strong psychological quality, he did not fall down with Jiang Wanning.
Fortunately, everything that happened yesterday was just a false alarm.
As for Jiang Wanning, it was only after hearing Jiang Qingyan's words that she began to feel the concrete reality of what happened last night.
Xie Yanchuan really came here last night.
After confirming this, Jiang Wanning's originally gloomy face finally showed a genuine smile: "Yeah."
"But second brother, Xie Yanchuan came to see me yesterday and didn't tell me too many details about the plan. How did you discuss it with eldest brother?"
There were only Jiang Wanning and Jiang Qingyan in the restaurant right now. There was no need for the two siblings to hide anything.
Jiang Wanning asked directly.
This made Jiang Qingyan silent for a moment: "......"
Xie Yanchuan, this kid, really just wanted to appease people. He didn't even bother to talk about this topic that might provoke others.
If I had known what would happen last night, I shouldn’t have let him into Jiang Wanning’s room.
After a while, Jiang Qingyan coughed lightly and said, "From what Big Brother said, this explosion accident, in addition to the uncertain factors on the Xie family's side, it is very likely that there are other spies who have infiltrated our Jiang family headquarters."
"So we decided to use their tricks against us. Let's split the Jiang family into two, creating the illusion that we're siblings and we're not getting along. This will help expose those people's greed as quickly as possible."
I didn't expect that Jiang Wenzhou's so-called plan would be like this.
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning blinked at Jiang Qingyan and said, "If that's the case, second brother, I'm afraid you'll be defeated by me."
Although Jiang Wanning had just returned to the Jiang family and had just started to get involved in some of the Jiang family's industries, it had not been long.
But Jiang Qingyan has been well versed in the legal profession over the years, and he is probably not much better than her.
The two are equally matched. If they really confront each other, Jiang Wanning might have a greater chance of gaining the upper hand.
"hehe."
In response, Jiang Qingyan pursed his lips and took a sip of coffee, a faint smile on his lips: "Sister, some things should not be said too early."
......
When Jiang Wanning saw Chen Haishu again, it was already after breakfast.
Jiang Qingyan said that the old man was in a bad mood and did not come to eat in the morning. He went to the small lake on the flat land behind the manor and stared blankly.
Seeing this, Jiang Wanning asked Aunt An to prepare an extra breakfast for her and took it to Chen Haishu.
When I first arrived at the lake, I saw Chen Haishu sitting alone on the shore.
The thin and lonely figure made Jiang Wanning inexplicably think of the scene when she last saw Chen Canghui being taken away yesterday.
It seemed as if God couldn't bear to see this pair of star-crossed lovers being together.
Chen Haishu stared at the lake in a daze, and for a while he didn't notice Jiang Wanning coming over.
"Grandpa Chen."
Jiang Wanning also looked at his back and moved her lips.
This was probably the first time Jiang Wanning addressed Chen Haishu in this way. The latter was obviously stunned for a moment before turning around.
Seeing her sitting in a wheelchair covered in injuries, Chen Haishu stammered for a long time before speaking in a dejected tone, "I'm sorry, Jiang family girl."
"I heard about what happened yesterday... Perhaps from the very beginning, Cang Hui and I were wrong."
"...That was also utterly wrong. If I had stood firm from the beginning, perhaps this tragedy wouldn't have happened, and you, the innocent ones, wouldn't have been implicated."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanning's eyes flashed.
She gestured to Aunt An, who was following behind her, to hand the breakfast she had brought to Chen Haishu. After the others tactfully stepped aside, she looked at Chen Haishu and asked again, "Grandpa Chen, there are no outsiders here. What happened between you and Grandma Cang Hui back then?"
"Perhaps you could tell me the truth?"
Chen Haishu took the breakfast but didn't eat it. He just put it on the grass beside him.
As for him, he didn't seem to feel any surprise when faced with Jiang Wanning's question.
A gust of morning breeze blew across the old man's gray and aged face, causing a wry smile to play on his lips: "Did that kid from the Xie family guess it?"
"From the first time we met, I could tell that this guy was no pushover."
Jiang Wanning remained silent.
Just as Xie Yanchuan had noticed before, Chen Haishu was actually very defensive.
But the old man should still be willing to be frank with her.
He seemed to be sorting out his vague memories in his mind. After a brief pause, he spoke again, "If I'm not mistaken, with that kid's keen sense, he should have guessed that Cang Hui and I are actually from the Chen family in Jing City, China."
Jiang Wanning was shocked by Chen Haishu’s next words.
First, he was shocked that Xie Yanchuan had actually guessed the other two people's backgrounds based on just a few words from Chen Haishu.
Secondly, the turmoil they are currently experiencing is very likely a dispute that has been going on since the older generation.
"Maybe when we were young, Jing City didn't have the so-called four major families today."
"At that time, the Yang family was the only one in power..."
"Oh, right." Chen Haishu looked up at Jiang Wanning: "The Yang family is the family your grandmother belongs to."
Jiang Wanning's grandmother's real name is Yang Huan.
She had never heard anyone mention the past of the older generation.
Now, his ears pricked up even more: "When I was old enough to remember, my grandmother's family had already declined. Did something happen back then?"
"Um."
Chen Haishu recalled the past, and a look of pity and regret appeared in his eyes: "You should know that those few families in Beijing are not vegetarians."
"Add to that the things from that era, and if you really start arguing about it, there's actually only so much stuff."
"So they united and secretly planned to attack the then-dominant Yang family, even going so far as to lay a tight net..."
