Chapter 210 I owe her
"Last night." Yuan Hui's eyes widened in surprise. "You didn't know? The Traffic Management Bureau sent a car to escort us. We were transferred to the Armed Police Hospital this morning. I went for a prenatal checkup and ran into the convoy at an intersection. There was someone my husband knew inside, so I asked him a few questions."
"Is it serious?"
"It must be quite serious...otherwise there wouldn't be such a big scene."
Chen Qing was flustered and leaned on Yuan Hui's shoulder.
Jiang Jingyan was a man who would not leave the front lines even with a minor injury. He would still go to the training ground as usual even with a broken leg. The only reason he was admitted to the hospital was that he was either exhausted or unconscious...
Her vision went dark, and she barely managed to stand. "I have to go out for a while."
"Going to the hospital? Mr. Cai has a class this afternoon and he has to take roll call—Hey!"
Chen Qing ignored him and stumbled out of the door.
An hour later, she arrived at the Royal Jia International Club in Xicheng. She looked around and found the tavern that You Meng mentioned.
Since Mr. Xu has not been arrested yet, her itinerary must be open and transparent. If she goes to the hospital at this time, Yan Baiqing will definitely become suspicious.
If you ask, you can say that I want to find out whether Wan Lihong left any clues when she was brought here by driver Zhao.
It was afternoon and the tavern was closed. The tables and chairs were in a mess. Chen Qing squeezed to the bar and gave his name.
There was a curtain hanging on the left side of the kitchen, You Meng lifted it up, "I'm here."
"Sister Meng." Chen Qing looked at her, "You..."
She stroked her slightly bulging belly and said indifferently, "I won't ask why you met me secretly, and don't ask who the father of the child is."
Chen Qing suppressed the fear in his heart. Maybe he didn't pay attention last time. Plus, You Meng was too thin, and the loose shirt covered her, so he couldn't see anything.
This time she was wearing a knitted skirt, which was more obvious.
"What do you want from me?"
Chen Qing licked her lips. She knew the child's identity very well, but she couldn't say what she wanted to say.
You Meng seemed to know her purpose and sat down on the chair by the door. "Do you need me to pass a message to Master Xiao?"
"It's inconvenient for you..." Chen Qing didn't want to embarrass her and shook his head, "Forget it, I'll think of another way."
She turned to leave.
You Meng reached out to stop him, "Let me listen. Maybe it gives me a reason to contact him."
Chen Qing stood with his back to her for a long while. After struggling, he pulled over a stool and said, "Sister Meng, I don't trust other people to do this, so I have to ask you for help."
You Meng crossed her legs, raised her chin, and motioned her to continue.
"Jiang Jingyan...his recent troubles are due to his investigation into my parents' deaths. Young Master Xiao is the only one who can persuade him."
"Given Mr. Jiang's ability and the status of the Jiang family, what kind of trouble would he get into if he were to investigate an old case?"
Chen Qing clenched his fists. "There was a bigger hand behind what happened back then, one that was above him. Last night, he was almost accused of a crime he didn't commit."
She paused, "Yan Baiqing set up a scheme. Jiang Jingyan and Old Jiang were all implicated. His sole purpose was to dismantle most of the Jiang family's power. Only in this way, no one would help me investigate my parents' case."
You Meng frowned suddenly, "Is it related to Yan Baiqing?"
"It's not just Yan Baiqing. Without Meng Hongwen, he couldn't do it."
"You knew who was behind this, why didn't you wait for him?"
Chen Qing bit his lower lip, his voice choking slightly. "I can't implicate him anymore. I can't rely on anyone else in this case, not him. Meng Hongwen and Yan Baiqing have no regard for the law. Last night at the Municipal Bureau was their appetizer. Jiang Jingyan can defend himself once or twice, but he will suffer at some point. His future, reputation, the glory he fought for with blood and sweat, will all be destroyed in an instant. His enemies and opponents will not let him go."
You Meng was silent for a long time and held her hand.
Chen Qing clasped his hands in reverse, half-knelt on the ground, and looked earnestly, "Sister Meng, tell Master Xiao that Jiang Jingyan can no longer investigate anything about the Chen family, including me—"
She stopped talking, lowered her head and suppressed her tears, "Including me, he can no longer control me. Yan Baiqing already hated the Jiang family, and he couldn't do anything about it before, but this time is different. If my guess is correct, Meng Hongwen is the real murderer who caused my parents' death. These two will definitely join forces and do everything they can to crush him to death and make it impossible for him to turn over."
The kitchen was small and dark. A few thin rays of sunlight shone through the window, illuminating Chen Qing's eyes and revealing the bloodshot veins spreading across his eyeballs.
You Meng sighed, "How are you going to explain this to him?"
"I lost my temper." Chen Qing smiled, as bitter as it could be. "He will probably believe it, but even if he does, I won't see him again. Yan Baiqing is Meng Hongwen's lackey. I'm going to ask him to help me investigate. By the way, I can get some useful clues. From now on, Meng Hongwen's spearhead will be directed at me, not Jiang Jingyan. If Yan Baiqing is willing to protect me, he will use the Chen family's affairs to bring down Meng Hongwen."
"You want to join Yan Baiqing?" You Meng used brute force to strangle her shoulders. "Think it through. He's not a gentleman."
"I know my limits, don't worry."
"Mr. Jiang knows you, and you know him. Will he just stop here?"
"That's why I need Mr. Xiao's help. Mr. Xiao has never liked me very much. He will definitely stop Jiang Jingyan. At the very least, he will persuade Madam Jiang together. In the end, Mr. Jiang is still Mr. Jiang, decent and noble, and he should live the life he deserves."
You Meng said nothing, the phone in his pocket was burning hot.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Jingyan heard every word.
The ward was dead silent.
Tang Xiaoming licked his teeth, feeling unhappy. "Why shouldn't I like her..."
The man on the bed half-closed his eyes and remained motionless from beginning to end, his emotions indistinguishable.
Liang Jing stood beside him, staring at him, and always felt that at this moment he was like a volcano about to erupt.
It contains terrifying power and violence.
After the call ended, Jiang Jingyan's chest heaved and his voice became hoarse, "Has Lian Zhuo arrived yet?"
Liang Jing was close enough to see the moisture at the corners of his eyes and the bulging veins on his neck.
Her heart twitched violently, and she clenched her teeth, "We're here."
Tang Xiaoming walked forward and patted him on the shoulder. "Rest first. Didn't you also say that Qing'er has a stubborn temper? She won't give up easily because of the cause of her biological parents' death. Don't blame her for choosing Yan Baiqing—"
"I don't blame her." Jiang Jingyan pressed his thumb to his eye sockets and calmed down. His voice was very hoarse. "I only blame myself for being too slow. I owe her."
Tang Xiaoming paused and said nothing.
Speaking of debts, Jiang Jingyan has done enough. If it weren't for being with Chen Qing, he would not have given up such a good opportunity for promotion.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Anti-Smuggling Bureau were vying to keep him, but he only chose Huasheng.
Because the Chen couple died in ignominious ways, the marriage of Huasheng's general manager could be exempted from scrutiny, but if the other two had been chosen, Chen Qing's life experience would not have been concealed until now.
