Chapter 257 Jiang Li Fainted
A statement that carries a strong sense of threat.
Normally, Jiang Ren wouldn't have taken those words to heart, thinking the other person was just exaggerating. Anyone can make a threat.
But this sentence happens to involve Jiang Li, and Jiang Li was injured first and the murderer has not yet been found. And, coincidentally, the note was seen by Master Jiang first.
Jiang Ren slowly raised his head and saw that his father's expression was indeed unfriendly.
He opened his mouth, offering a weak explanation, "Father, there must be some misunderstanding here?"
Whether it was a misunderstanding or not, Jiang's father didn't know, but Jiang Li, having heard that Jiang Ren was almost harmed, couldn't wait to run out.
As soon as he got closer, he saw the note in Jiang Ren's hand.
Before Jiang Ren could react, Jiang Li had already snatched the note and read it.
Jiang Ren was shocked, "Third brother, no..."
It was too late. Jiang Li looked up in astonishment, then roared in fury, "Fine! I knew it! So that's why someone smashed my head. You've offended someone, and you've dragged me down with you."
Jiang Ren took a deep breath and said patiently, "Third brother, don't get agitated. The steward has already sent people to catch the thief. We'll only know what happened after we catch him and get the facts straight. I have a feeling something's not right..."
"What's wrong?" Jiang Li interrupted him angrily. "I'm the one who's injured and lying in bed bleeding almost to death. You're just talking without thinking, trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you? I knew you always did some despicable and disgusting things outside. No wonder you haven't been trying your best to find the murderer. You know in your heart that this is your own doing."
Jiang Ren's forehead veins throbbed twice. He knew Jiang Li was unreasonable before, but he had at least a little respect for him as his older brother, so he didn't feel it deeply.
Now I realize that he was just a stupid idiot who was being unreasonable.
Jiang's father calmed down and said to Jiang Li, "Your older brother was unaware of this matter either. In business, some friction and disputes are inevitable. Your older brother is right. The most urgent thing is to catch the thief. Catching him will also catch the murderer who smashed your head."
Jiang Li looked at him in disbelief, her voice becoming shrill, "Father, even now you're still speaking up for my elder brother? What do you mean disputes are inevitable in business? My elder brother has only taken on so many deals so far. If we're talking about disputes, why don't you and Father have any enemies who want to kill me? After that thief knocked me unconscious, he said it was our family's many misdeeds that brought this trouble upon us. At first, I thought you were the ones who dragged me down and made me like this."
Jiang's father choked for a moment, then wanted to persuade him again.
But when Jiang Li saw that he was actually standing on Jiang Ren's side, he, who had already lost too much blood, couldn't catch his breath and fainted with his face turning pale.
Jiang's father was shocked. "Li'er, quick, go and invite Doctor Liu back! Go now!"
The Jiang family was in chaos again. The servants were busy catching thieves, calling for doctors, and carrying Jiang Li back to the courtyard.
Jiang Ren stood there, staring at the piece of paper that had fallen to the ground, his expression grim.
Seeing this, Meng Yunzheng felt it was enough, got up, climbed over the courtyard wall, and left the Jiang family.
Shu Yu waited not far from the Jiang residence and witnessed Doctor Liu come out and go back.
