Chapter 294: Better to Die in Honor than to Live in Disgrace
"Why do you think I'm going to the Tang family?" Jiang Jingyan turned around and stared at Zheng Yuan.
His aura was so fierce that Zheng Yuan's throat became dry. He took a deep breath and said, "I know you hid Chen Qing in the Tang family."
The conference room suddenly became like an ice cellar.
Guan Guofeng knocked on the table and said, "Excuse me, everyone, please step aside for ten minutes."
Of the five people sitting around the long table, except Jiang Zhongyi and Liang Jing, the rest quickly left through the back door.
Jiang Jingyan's face was sinister, with veins bulging on his forehead. "Are you following me, or her?"
"I'm protecting her!" Zheng Yuan argued loudly. "The Tang family is a business family after all. Do you think Yan Baiqing can't find it? He's faster than me!"
As early as that day, Zheng Yuan secretly saw the incoming call number on Jiang Jingyan's mobile phone screen in the car. After finding out that it was from the Tang family, he secretly sent out a five-member team.
He knew exactly what Chen Qing had been doing these days.
"Yan Baiqing can find the person, but he can't take him away. Even if he does, it's safer than leaving him in your hands."
Jiang Zhongyi frowned, glanced at Guan Guofeng's expression, and shouted, "Jingyan, don't be so presumptuous!"
Jiang Jingyan ripped open his cleaning uniform and gritted his teeth, "Since you said it was protection, how is the protection going?"
Zheng Yuan said nothing.
The longer he remained silent, the more upset Jiang Jingyan felt.
"Meng Hongwen took action, right?"
Zheng Yuan's chest heaved violently. "Yan Baiqing was playing tricks, and Meng Hongwen noticed—"
"He noticed you!" Jiang Jingyan's roar startled everyone, and a pool of fresh blood oozed out of the side of his neck due to the force. "Yan Baiqing's pursuit of Chen Qing is understandable in Meng Hongwen's eyes. Your people around Chen Qing are a threat to him. The province is in crisis, and there are so many crises. How can he allow anything to go wrong? Today is different from the past. He has no patience to play with you anymore. He has to eliminate you completely!"
Zheng Yuan realized it later and panicked, blurting out the truth. "Chen Qing was taken away by Meng Hongwen. I thought that following her would lead me to Meng Hongwen's lair, so—"
Jiang Jingyan turned and left.
"Jingyan!" Zheng Yuan stopped him. "That sniper was able to get hold of Huafang's weapons, and Meng Hongwen has quite a few too. If you go there now, you'll be dead!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jingyan grabbed his arm and twisted it.
Zheng Yuan was caught off guard and was pressed down on the conference table in a few seconds, with a cold, hard object pressing against his temples.
He had just finished his mission and hadn't had time to change his clothes or take off his equipment. Jiang Jingyan's movements were so quick that he dropped his gun. At this moment, blood was rushing back through his body and he was gasping for breath.
Jiang Zhongyi was the first to react. He slammed the table and shouted, "Jiang Jingyan! Put him down!"
The man was murderous, his arms raised tensely and powerfully, his eyes bloodshot and wild, as if he was out of control. "Now I have it."
"Put it down!" Others didn't dare to move. Jiang Zhongyi walked around the long table and grabbed his wrist with no less force.
After a stalemate of half a minute, Jiang Jingyan slowly loosened his grip, his eyes wandering over the faces of several people. "I might as well cooperate with Yan Baiqing. At least, he won't think that Chen Qing's life is more important than the overall situation."
Jiang Zhongyi raised his hand and slapped it hard, the sound muffled and heavy. "Ignoring the situation of your comrades and illegally seizing the gun is unkind!"
Then came another slap in the face. "You're pointing the gun at your comrades instead of the enemy. How unjust!" He was too excited. The continuous heavy workload had affected his spirit. After cursing these two sentences, he barely stood up straight, still holding Jiang Jingyan's arm tightly.
Jiang Jingyan swallowed the blood in his mouth with the tip of his tongue and threw the gun on the table.
Liang Jing was quick-witted and grabbed it into his own hands. He was frightened and said, "Mr. Guan, Jingyan is...he is..."
She stammered a few times, unable to find a suitable excuse.
Guan Guofeng leaned back in his chair, his face ashen, and he was obviously angry.
Jiang Jingyan's face was stern, his eyes unyielding. "I've already figured out everything about Yan Baiqing and handed it over to Zheng Yuan. You want to arrest Meng Hongwen, but I've also narrowly escaped death and lurked for many days to find the clues. No one can stop me from doing what I'm going to do next. Benevolence? I'm righteous enough."
After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to Jiang Zhongyi.
As he opened the door, Guan Guofeng took out a cigarette and lit it, his tone cold, "Didn't I say I won't help you find a wife?"
He flicked off his cigarette ash and laughed in anger. "Even when Old Jiang was young, his temper wasn't as bad as yours! You really have inherited your mother, Miss Zhong's fiery temper. Mr. Jiang, can you please let Guan say a few words?"
Jiang Jingyan stopped indifferently.
"Is this high-tech team enough to rescue your future wife, Mr. Jiang?"
"Not enough." He said bluntly, "Meng Hongwen has eighteen specially trained thugs buried around him. No one has ever seen them, and their backgrounds and skills are unknown. Combined with the weapons and equipment of the Chinese defense, he is more than capable of dealing with you."
"Since you know you're no match for your opponent, why are you rushing to die?"
"If I go alone, he'll know I'm risking my life and my purpose." Jiang Jing said in a cryptic tone, "If he wants to live, he can live."
Guan Guofeng's eyes flashed.
The dispute in the provincial department that day was just a show, but today, Jiang Jingyan was serious.
It is better to die with honor than to live in disgrace.
He endured it to the end.
"Liang Jing." Guan Guofeng snuffed out his cigarette and gave orders, "Send in the manpower. Lao Jiang will personally lead the team to hunt down Meng Hongwen, Chairman of Huafang Technology. Rescue the hostages in secret to the greatest extent possible and ensure their safety. All operations will be under the command of Jiang Jingyan."
"Then the pursuit procedures..."
He took out his cell phone and waved, urging, "I'll take care of it."
Zheng Yuan straightened his clothes and said dejectedly, "I'm going too."
"Huafang Technology can't be without someone," Guan Guofeng flatly rejected. "When this is over, you should accept the punishment and make a self-criticism. Someone even stole your gun, and you still have the nerve to act so brazenly!"
Jiang Jingyan walked out with a blank expression.
…
When Chen Qing woke up from his nap, the villa was empty.
She was brought here blindfolded. She only knew that it was Meng Hongwen's instruction, and she had no idea where she was.
Fortunately, the nanny and servants in the villa were quite kind to her. When they learned that she was pregnant, they prepared extra delicious meals for her. However, Chen Qing was on guard and lied that she couldn't eat and left the table, secretly washing some fruit to fill her stomach.
"Miss Chen." The nanny saw her coming down the stairs and hurried to support her. "I was just about to call you."
"What's wrong?"
"It's time to get going."
Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that Meng Hongwen didn't want to settle down here.
She put on her coat and walked out of the yard obediently.
In the current situation, any resistance or small action is seeking death.
"My lady has instructed you to get in this car and wait."
Chen Qing was puzzled, "Madam?"
"Yes." The nanny said nothing more, opened the car door and helped her get in. "The wind is strong, please stay out of the way."
About twenty minutes later, a man came out of the courtyard.
Chen Qing recognized Ji Mingyin through the car window and felt strange in his heart.
This man had bad behavior and was quite cunning. Because of what happened in Qingyoufu Garden when she was a child, she was very reluctant to get along with him.
Ji Mingyin got into the driver's seat, glanced at the rearview mirror, and smiled sinisterly and sarcastically, "Ms. Chen, we meet again."
"Have you started working for Meng Hongwen?"
"Well! Life is like that. Don't accuse me of being a fence-sitter. It's just that Mr. Yan is too cruel. I have to find a way to survive, right?"
Chen Qing didn't respond immediately. She looked away and thought quickly.
She knew a little about the relationship between Ji Mingyin and Yan Baiqing, but she was not sure about their current situation.
From the sound of it, Ji Mingyin was being clever and betrayed Yan Baiqing.
"Boss Ji is really careless." Chen Qing said tentatively, "Mr. Yan is Mr. Meng's biological son. Could it be that father and son will fall out because of you?"
