Chapter 164 My Wife is Running Away
Chen Qing was completely stunned.
The man was obviously not mentally prepared, with his mouth slightly open, and the living room was silent for a while.
Jiang Jingyan threw the cigarette onto the table with such force that it bounced onto the carpet. "You've handed over your name, address, and photo. Tell me you've made an oversight."
The man looked a little embarrassed. "You can't just give up. Allowing you to come in and out, and allowing you to bring people back, is already an attempt to make amends."
Mrs. Luo came out to make tea, intending to smooth things over. "Before Jingyan left, Lao Luo had already made contact with the other party, so it didn't delay anything."
"Mr. Luo's business dealings are brilliant. He's directly penetrated the enemy. Once the case is successfully concluded, I will definitely reward him!"
"No need for a commendation. The Luo family has immigrated to Australia and the procedures have been approved."
The man suddenly realized, "No wonder Mr. Luo is willing to give up a branch to set up the game."
Chen Qingyun was confused, but after understanding the general idea, he turned around and asked, "Did you know it was a misunderstanding?"
There was a flash of surprise in Jiang Jingyan's eyes. He tried to hug her, but she slapped him on the back of his hand.
The man could no longer sit still and stood up to say goodbye.
"You throw a bomb at me and then run away?" Jiang Jingyan frowned, "Who did you learn that from?"
"With you, sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. Help me educate him well."
Once the entrance door is closed, no outsiders are allowed into the house.
Chen Qing stood up with a sullen face and ran upstairs.
Jiang Jingyan caught up with him in a few strides, clearly smiling, "Calm down."
"You were so happy and at ease, leaving me outside frantically worried. In order to get Wei Yin to confess, I offended Miss Zhang and Master Xiao. He was going to mock me again. And you even lied to me about my detailed plan. I didn't think it was detailed at all!"
"Thorough, absolutely thorough. If Young Master Xiao dares to mock you, I, as his father, will teach him a lesson."
"Forget it." She didn't appreciate it and headed to the second floor.
Jiang Jingyan held her in his arms and rubbed her forehead, "I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Chen Qing lowered the corners of his lips and shed tears in grievance, "I haven't been able to eat a single bite these past few days. I almost fell off the mountain!"
She started to cry, and Jiang Jingyan's heart tightened. He coaxed her gently, "The incident happened suddenly. I guessed there was a trap, but I didn't guess the time when the provincial department would be dispatched. I arrived here, handed over my phone, and investigated it that day. I immediately asked them to send plainclothes officers to protect you. It was their fault for not doing their job well."
"What does it have to do with others? Mrs. Luo and Mr. Luo both know about it. Couldn't you have told me in advance?" Chen Qing sobbed. "Director Hou, you don't trust me because Yan Baiqing is wary of me. You think I'm causing trouble for you."
His tone was serious for a moment, "Absolutely not."
All night long, no matter how Jiang Jingyan explained, Chen Qing ignored him. She turned her back to him at night and refused to let him hug or kiss her. When she finally fell asleep, he stretched out his arms to hug her back. Chen Qing still had tears on her eyelashes, and she grabbed his clothes in a daze.
Jiang Jingyan's heart clenched. He knew she wasn't angry at him for keeping it a secret; she was afraid. Back when they were on missions, Lao Luo loved telling stories, and she'd gotten so scared she'd assumed every time he went missing was a dangerous situation. After a mission, she'd always walk around and check to see if her arms and legs were intact.
When Jiang Jingyan was in his twenties, he was at the age of being full of passion. He would rush to wherever there was danger. Jiang Zhongyi never interfered. Mrs. Jiang was worried in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud, so he didn't worry about it, let alone report it in advance.
It seems I have to pay attention to it in the future.
The next morning, the second floor was quiet.
Chen Qing touched the bed on the other side and found it warm. After washing up, she walked to the stairs. The sounds of conversation in the living room gradually became clearer.
On the sofa, Jiang Jingyan had his robe wide open, a cigarette between his lips, and he was not holding his hands, looking lazy and unrestrained.
Opposite him sat two men, one in a uniform and leather shoes, the other in a dark suit, their faces difficult to discern.
"Zhang Zhao dropped the ball. He said that before the Economic Investigation Team took action, Vice Chairman Kong recruited the manager of Huasheng's public relations department as an informant. The informant contacted him and originally planned to kidnap your woman to vent his anger and use that offshore company to transfer the eight million overseas. The eight million ransom you paid just happened to be a muddle in their tracks. I didn't expect you to pursue her relentlessly afterwards, forcing Zhang Zhao to seek help from his employer, and then he turned against you. I've investigated and found that the public relations manager's secret lover has met with Vice Chairman Kong's wife."
Jiang Jingyan dragged over an ashtray, his brows cold and sharp. "Zhang Zhao suddenly became the legal representative of an offshore company and participated in shipping in such a short time. How could he be so capable as a mere PR manager?"
The man in the black suit took a sip of tea. "I know who you suspect, but suspicion is suspicion, and evidence is evidence. He didn't show up in person, and Zhang Zhao has no real connection with him."
"Senior Brother has plenty of scapegoats. Zhang Zhao has been able to hold on until now without changing his words. I guess he doesn't know that he is the one behind this."
Chen Qing's eyelids twitched at the mention of Yan Baiqing. The Sihanoukville incident was indeed linked to him. Wei Yin had selfish motives for the kidnapping, Zhang Zhao had a motive, and Vice Chairman Kong had the power. He had arranged so many pawns, yet he remained on the sidelines, observing the outcome.
The man in uniform sighed, "After nearly ten years of comrades, you suddenly become enemies. It must be hard for you, right?"
Jiang Jingyan stubbed out his cigarette, his expression impassive. In this game, the person Zhang Zhao had kidnapped wasn't Chen Qing, so it was a false alarm. He wouldn't necessarily pursue Zhang Zhao relentlessly. Furthermore, Yan Baiqing was desperately trying to get Boss Huang and Ji Mingyin. If his strategy and focus had deviated even slightly, the suspicion surrounding the cargo at the Westport terminal would have been irreparable.
Yan Baiqing had no intention of showing mercy from the beginning, and the relationship between his comrades and fellow apprentices had long been destroyed.
Jiang Jingyan rubbed his lower lip, thoughtfully. "Brother used the shipment from Xigang to trap me, intending to divert attention. Zhounan, keep a close eye on me. I've had Lao Luo plant an undercover agent. The safety of civilians is as important as the arrest. If anything goes wrong, protect their retreat first."
"Of course. The provincial department said you just gave up and didn't care. Zheng Yuan's attempts to persuade them were useless. I was just worried about how to talk to you."
"Once I get back the eight million from Vice President Kong, I really don't plan to care about it anymore."
The man in uniform was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
Chen Qing's feet were numb from standing. He was about to go back to the bedroom when Mrs. Luo came out of the room. "Are you up?"
The men downstairs all looked over.
She smiled awkwardly.
Jiang Jingyan waved, "Come here."
The man in uniform looked between the two of them, "Zheng Yuan said you have a mistress in your house, but I don't believe it."
Chen Qing adjusted his pajamas and sat down properly.
Jiang Jingyan pinched her chin and shook it, "Are you angry enough?"
She doesn't speak.
"Look at how much trouble you've caused me." Jiang Jingyan complained half-heartedly, "My wife is about to run away, why should I care about that matter?"
