Chapter 254 I Want to Hug Him
Zheng Yuan quickly stood up and stood between the two of them. "Alright, alright, you're arguing again! Sister Jing, you can't say that. The Chen family case may just be a wingman to eliminate the Meng Party for the higher-ups, but after all, they are Chen Qing's biological parents, Jing Yan's father-in-law and mother-in-law. It would be unreasonable for him not to be anxious!"
"You're the only one who understands? Everything is going well in Zhounan, and now you have time to make sarcastic remarks? Who are you on the same side with?" Liang Jing glared, sat down, and turned his face away from them.
Zheng Yuan pinched his waist and clicked his tongue. Jiang Jingyan had contributed a lot to Zhounan's success. Yan Baiqing's secretary named Hu was formally brought to trial, and many unknown things during his tenure surfaced one by one.
Yan Weilan built the underlying cash-out production line for Meng Hongwen Bank in the mall, while Yan Baiqing provided a cover for the fake trade. He had already started to whitewash the relationship between Yan's family and the bank when he pretended to lose the batch of goods at the port and took advantage of Huang Hao. However, he didn't quite realize that his own mother had been used to the point of obsession. Jiang Jingyan dug out those shell companies before him and kept the evidence confidential.
This was Zheng Yuan's first assignment, and Jiang Jingyan handed over nearly all the evidence and leads, including the clues he had discovered in Zhounan in previous years. Truth be told, if the mission was completed, Jiang Jingyan wouldn't receive any actual credit, but if it failed, he might be held accountable.
After all, Zheng Yuan had fought alongside him for ten years and understood that he was bidding a formal farewell to his career and making a final sacrifice for the justice he upheld in his heart. Therefore, even if Jiang Jingyan disregarded the overall situation for his own selfish desires and the safety of his woman, Zheng Yuan could not complain with others.
The box was so silent that it was hard to breathe.
Jiang Jingyan slowly took off his tie and cufflinks, his tone steady but with a hint of chill, "If you want to compete with me in speed, you'll have to work harder."
Liang Jing paused and turned around, "Who are you threatening?"
"I repeat, Lao Guan didn't give me any orders." He unbuttoned most of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves, his hostility silently sweeping over everyone. "You have your plans, and I have my own problems to deal with. What's wrong with that?"
Liang Jing's face flushed and he placed his fists on the table.
Jiang Jingyan raised his chin slightly, flicked open the metal cover of his lighter, and tilted his head to light a cigarette. "You can tell anyone you want. My ability is obvious to all. The old Chen family case should be handled at my pace. If you want to use this to catch Meng's gang, go back and work overtime to improve your work efficiency. We'll talk about it when you can catch up with me."
…
As expected, Yan Baiqing returned home in the middle of the night.
Chen Qing was sitting on the terrace outside the bedroom and saw that his car was parked outside the gate and did not drive into the garage.
Late at night, Yan Baiqing didn't look up, holding his suit jacket, walking with a loose pace, vaguely revealing a bit of drunkenness.
Chen Qing heard from Aunt He that he had never attended a drinking party before, but he could drink quite well. The Yan family cultivated business elites, and the drinking table was like a battlefield, not to close a deal, but to prevent people with ulterior motives from taking advantage of drunkenness to create scandals, cause disasters, and affect Yan's stocks.
Yan Baiqing was very young and was secretly locked up at home by Yan Weilan since junior high school. She forced him to improve his drinking capacity. Every time he got drunk, he would go hungry, and then he would be beaten after he sobered up.
Aunt He wiped her tears as she spoke.
Chen Qing sighed deeply. Looking around, he realized that in the entire Yan family, only Aunt He was remembering the injustices for him.
She leaned forward, and the man stepped into the entrance hall. His shadowy figure stretched across the courtyard and melted into the cold and silent moonlight.
After a long while, suppressed footsteps were heard in the corridor, muffled on the thick carpet.
Chen Qing wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and stared at the dim light beneath the bedroom door.
Fortunately, Yan Baiqing did not come to disturb her.
But you can only hide for a while, you can't hide from the morning a few hours later.
Chen Qing returned to bed, staring at the ceiling and thinking. The pregnancy was still uncertain. Aunt He and Director Su were just guessing. If she wanted to confirm it, she had to avoid Yan Baiqing and be wary of Jiang Jingyan.
Fortunately, the day before she was to leave for the charity performance in Wuhen Village was the next day, so she had the opportunity.
After sleeping for two or three hours, Chen Qing heard the sound of an engine in the courtyard and sat up with a start.
She looked downstairs and saw Lao Qian washing the car outside the gate. It seemed that Yan Baiqing had not woken up yet.
Yuan Hui has replied to the message. She is going for a prenatal check-up this morning and I can give her a ride back to school.
Chen Qing hurried to wash up and went downstairs. Aunt He looked at her with a complicated expression, "Miss Chen, have you rested well?"
"Very good." She smiled and picked up the violin case in her hand. "I have to go back to school. Please tell Mr. Yan."
"Are there many classes? Do you have time... to rest?"
Chen Qing heard her hint, took the milk from her hand, and drank it all, "I have time, don't worry."
After they left the house, Lao Qian noticed her from the corner of his eye and bowed, "Ms. Chen."
"Good morning." She nodded and glanced quickly at the front wheel of the car, which was covered with mud.
Yan Baiqing's driver would not make such a low-level mistake. Either there was no time to send the car for cleaning, or there was something important that was more urgent than washing the car.
Chen Qing took several quick glances, and just then Aunt He told the backup driver to drive the car out of the garage.
After getting in the car, she adjusted the position of the violin case and carefully observed Lao Qian's expression.
Tired, dusty, and with dirty shoes.
He must have rushed somewhere overnight and met someone, but driving Yan Baiqing's car openly didn't seem shameful.
She remembered that the day she was taken to Meng Hongwen's private residence, there was a difficult road to walk on.
It seems that Meng Hongwen has new instructions.
The driver took Chen Qing to the hospital to meet Yuan Hui. She stood in the corridor of the obstetrics and gynecology department in a daze, with her hands folded on her lower abdomen.
All night long, she couldn't describe how she felt about this possible life.
I was afraid that I came at the wrong time, and I was also worried that my negligence would cause problems.
There were popular science cartoons hanging on the wall. Chen Qing read them one by one, his heart beating fast. He quickly sat down on the bench, not daring to show any abnormality.
Just as I calmed down, I looked up and saw Jiang Jingyan standing at the elevator entrance.
The clear morning sunlight shone on his face, which was resolute and strong. He looked at her calmly, and his eyes were extremely safe.
Everything around me lost its color and sound.
Jiang Jingyan took a step and walked towards her.
Chen Qing couldn't hold it in for a moment. He wanted to hug him, tell him to hide behind him and put all the troubles behind him.
But when she saw the message pop up on her phone, she was instantly brought back to reality.
The man's deep and familiar breath approached, and Chen Qing's nose felt sore. He bit his lower lip and tried not to make a sound.
"This afternoon, the school will send a group of students to Wuhen Village." Jiang Jingyan thought she didn't want to talk to him in public, so he stopped a short distance away and leaned against the wall. "You follow the team. There will be someone to meet you."
Chen Qing suppressed her tears and hummed.
