To go all out of the act, Jiang Qiaoqiao and Huo Beixiao sat down and ate breakfast.
At the breakfast table, Jiang Yongxian brought up the cement factory several times. He didn't say it explicitly, but Huo Beixiao pretended not to understand his implied meaning and only answered his questions.
After breakfast, Jiang Qiaoqiao said with a smile, "Mom and Dad, Bei Xiao and I still have to work, so we'll leave first. We'll come back to see you in a few days."
“Okay, Dad should go to work now, so I won’t see you off.” Jiang Jiahua said, while giving Peng Cuiying a wink.
Peng Cuiying understood what he meant and quickly said, "Okay, Qiaoqiao, you go first. After I've tidied up the house, I'll go help out at your clothing store, or if your brother's duck products store is short-handed, I can go help out there too."
“Okay, then I’ll trouble you, Mom,” Jiang Qiaoqiao replied with a smile.
At this moment, Jiang Yongxian, dressed in a more formal Zhongshan suit, came out of the house. "Beixiao, are you going to the cement factory now?"
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you. While we're at it, could you tell me about all the production equipment at the cement plant? Uncle Jiang and the others are going to set up a factory after they go back, and I'll definitely need to help. I want to learn from you first, so I don't end up clueless and make a fool of myself."
As Jiang Yongxian spoke, he got into the car on his own.
As soon as he reached the car window, Jiang Qiaoqiao quickly hid Jiang Yong'an's clothes under the passenger seat.
Huo Beixiao called Guo Tao on his way to the cement factory.
When they arrived at the cement plant gate, Guo Tao was already waiting.
"Taozi, my brother-in-law wants to visit the cement factory. Could you show him around first? I'll drop your sister-in-law off at the clothing store and then come right back."
After giving instructions to Guo Tao and saying goodbye to Jiang Yongxian, Huo Beixiao returned to his car.
However, after the car left Jiang Yongxian's sight, it did not head towards the clothing store, but went straight to the police station.
Before entering the police station, Jiang Qiaoqiao's mobile phone rang. When she answered the phone, it was Jiang Yongchang calling.
Jiang Qiaoqiao was not surprised when Jiang Yongchang called at this time.
It's estimated that Peng Cuiying was frightened when Jiang Jiahua was arrested the day before yesterday, so she called Jiang Yongchang and told him what had happened.
It's also possible that Jiang Yongxian asked him to call Jiang Yongchang.
After all, although Jiang Yongxian worked in Beicheng, he was not an official with much real power. In a small place like Yunxian, his interactions with people in his unit were far less influential than those with Jiang Yongchang.
Jiang Yongchang didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Qiaoqiao, is your adoptive father's death really related to Dad and Lao San?"
Jiang Qiaoqiao originally thought he would at least ask her about calling the police to arrest Jiang Jiahua, but she didn't expect him to ask this.
Jiang Qiaoqiao paused for a moment and said, "Whether it's related or not isn't up to me to decide; it's up to the police."
Jiang Yongchang paused for a moment, then said, "If your adoptive father's death was really caused by them, you don't need to worry about anything. Whichever side the law is on, your second brother will be on that side."
I won't be going back this time. If you need anything from your second brother, you can call me. As long as you're in the right, I'll help you.
A hint of tenderness flashed in Jiang Qiaoqiao's eyes. Jiang Yongchang was clearly siding with reason, not personal connections.
However, this is understandable. If Jiang Yongchang were like Jiang Yongxian, he wouldn't have become the richest man in the Qin family in his previous life, and he wouldn't have distanced himself from them when Jiang Yongxian was rising in rank.
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Qiaoqiao responded, then hesitated for a moment before adding, "Second Brother, thank you for making this call specifically for me."
After saying that, she hung up the phone and strode into the police station.

The residential compound of the food factory workers.
After Huo Beixiao's car drove away, Peng Cuiying followed him all the way to the gate of the family compound before turning back.
When she ran into people in the courtyard, they didn't even ask her anything. She just raised her chin and said arrogantly, "Our children are so successful. Other families struggle to buy a bicycle, but my son and daughter all drive cars!"
Although the people in the courtyard both disliked and envied Peng Cuiying.
But since she had already said that, all I could do was flatter her, saying, "That's right. Not to mention in our compound, I doubt any other family in the entire county has raised a child more successful than yours."
Just as Peng Cuiying was feeling quite pleased with the compliments, Wang Jingui, who had always been at odds with her, poured cold water on her.
"Ha, isn't she the most successful in her family? After all, you can't find another person in the entire Yun County who would sue his father and his own brother to jail."
Upon hearing Wang Jingui's words, Peng Cuiying immediately put her hands on her hips, clearly furious.
Before she could even start cursing, Wang Jingui shouted, "No, I misspoke. In our entire county, besides Peng Cuiying's daughter sending her own father and brother to jail, there's also her successful son-in-law who drives a car!"
Yun County is such a small place. Huo Beixiao took out 200,000 yuan to buy the cement factory and became a prominent figure in the county. Everyone in the county knew that he had sent Huo Yuanshan to jail.
Peng Cuiying put her hands on her hips, not giving an inch, and said, "Pah! Wang Jingui, stop talking nonsense and sowing discord."
When did my husband go to jail? He just went to the police station, had a couple of cups of tea, and was out.
My daughter Qiaoqiao feels really guilty about this. Yesterday, she not only brought her dad several bottles of Moutai, but today she also invited me to her shop to pick out any clothes I wanted!
Peng Cuiying became more and more smug as she spoke, and looked at Wang Jingui arrogantly, saying, "Wang Jingui, I think it's because your children are all useless that you're jealous of me!"
"Oh, I forgot, your good son has moved his household registration to his father-in-law's house along with his wife. Doesn't that mean you don't have a son anymore? Hehehe..."
As Peng Cuiying spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed happily.
Wang Jingui's Achilles' heel was that her son and daughter-in-law took their grandson to her father-in-law's house and never came back.
Wang Jingui glared at Peng Cuiying in anger, unable to breathe.
Peng Cuiying glanced at her, and like a victorious hen, strode off into her own yard.
After Jiang Qiaoqiao handed the garment over to the police, the police immediately took it to the evidence department to compare it with the piece of cloth.
"Captain, the comparison results are in. This piece of cloth is from this garment."
"Have you found Jiang Yong'an?" Xu Renjie asked the police officer in charge of tracking down Jiang Yong'an after the junior policeman reported the results.
"Not yet," the police officer replied. "We've only found out that Jiang Yong'an took a bus to the city, and someone saw him at the train station after he arrived."
He inquired about southbound ticket prices with the staff at the train station, but didn't buy a ticket and then disappeared without a trace.
Xu Renjie nodded. "Take two people to the food factory and invite Jiang Jiahua over."
