Even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked and speechless for a long time.
Zhao Yong continued, "Old Jiang, I've got something to tell you. Please be careful. I have to leave first."
Father Jiang's expression was solemn, a mixture of gratitude and anger. "Thanks, Lao Zhao. But how could our family, who has always been honest and upright, be reported?"
Zhao Yong sighed. "I'm not entirely sure about this. The report was anonymous. But the charges are serious, and the investigation team arrived quickly. Old Jiang, I trust you as a person, otherwise I wouldn't have let you know this."
Father Jiang could only express his gratitude: "Old Zhao, I will remember your great kindness..."
Zhao Yong waved his hand. "Old Jiang, given our friendship, let's not be so polite. Now, there's no time to lose. You should make your preparations. I have to leave too."
Father Jiang didn't waste any more words: "I'll take you there."
After politely sending the other party away, Father Jiang returned to the house and called the couple out to discuss the matter.
Mother Jiang was preparing breakfast and Jiang Xiaoci had not gotten up yet. However, after hearing the news, Jiang Xiaoci woke up from all his spring sleepiness.
The family of three sat opposite each other in the living room, speechless for a long time.
Even though it was anticipated, after it really happened, the atmosphere at home was still depressing and heavy, and everyone's face was filled with worry.
Mother Jiang was furious: "Lu Yaozu is really going too far! I just rejected his proposal, but he actually did something like reporting me!"
Father Jiang's face was gloomy and he was also very angry.
Old Zhao didn't say who reported it just now. If his daughter hadn't foreseen it in her dream, they really wouldn't have imagined that Lu Yaozu could do such a sinister and immoral thing.
Seeing this, Jiang Xiaoci gently comforted her mother, "Mom, don't get angry and hurt yourself. The most urgent thing now is to find a way to deal with it."
Father Jiang said solemnly, "Our family fortune was earned through the hard work of our elders. It's the accumulation of several generations of our Jiang family. I really don't know how Lu Yaozu could fabricate charges against our family and write that letter of accusation."
Although Lu Yaozu's words were not enough to prove his point, the current crackdown on capitalism means that if you find a large amount of property, you will immediately be labeled a capitalist, sent to the countryside, and your property will be confiscated.
The more Jiang's father thought about it, the angrier he became, yet he felt helpless. It was all because the Jiang family, despite its wealth, wasn't prominent enough, allowing those villains to take advantage of the situation and frame him.
Jiang's father and Jiang Xidu both looked gloomy, but Jiang Xiaoci seemed very calm. After all, she was two different people.
She looked to be eighteen years old, but in her heart she had already lived two lives. She had experienced even more painful things in her previous life. She felt very lucky that she still had a chance to cope with it before the accident happened in this life.
Jiang Xiaoci comforted his parents: "Dad, Mom, don't worry too much. We have already put our property away. Even if the investigation team comes and finds nothing, it doesn't matter. I hope we can get through this."
Father Jiang nodded. "My daughter is right. There's no point in getting anxious. Since we've already made preparations, let's just stay the same."
Mother Jiang wasn't as calm as the father and the other two. Wiping her red eyes, she said, "Even if we prepare ahead of time, we can't guarantee safety. If someone does something bad and wants to harm our family, I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of our daughter getting hurt."
