Chapter 114: The Jiang Family in Beijing
Xiao Zhiyu took a deep breath and thought for a moment before speaking, "Although we didn't find out who was behind this at the time, I still believe that Yuan Shuying is involved."
"What?!"
It was Yuan Chenggang's turn to be shocked. "You mean Shu Ying is the mastermind behind this?!"
"That's impossible!"
Yuan Chenggang immediately retorted, "Although some of Shu Ying's behavior is indeed inappropriate, she grew up under my nose and would never do such a thing..."
Seeing Xiao Zhiyu's determined eyes, Yuan Chenggang's voice became lower and lower, and he could hardly continue.
He knew that Xiao Zhiyu was a straightforward person who never lied and would never frame others at will.
The direct mention of Yuan Shuying's name indicates that Xiao Zhiyu may have solid evidence in his hands.
Xiao Zhiyu continued, "Later, I privately asked some insiders, and someone told me that Yuan Shuying and Wang Lijuan had been seen in the family compound a few days before the incident. I suspect they were scouting the route in advance."
Ruan Chuxia looked at him in surprise, her eyes full of confusion: Why didn’t you mention this to me before?
Xiao Zhiyu smiled awkwardly, "But because I couldn't find any direct evidence, I had to let it go for now."
After hearing these words, Yuan Chenggang lowered his head weakly, his eyes filled with unacceptable despair.
How could his niece Shu Ying be such a cruel and ruthless person?
After a long while, he whispered, "Don't worry, I will send someone to thoroughly investigate Shu Ying's case. If...if she really did it, I will never cover it up!"
Yuan Chenggang's voice was firm, but it couldn't hide the pain and helplessness in his heart.
Noticing his mood swings, Ruan Chuxia quickly picked up a glass of water and handed it to him.
Her eyes revealed worry and comfort, hoping to help Yuan Chenggang feel a little relieved.
Xiao Zhiyu also noticed Yuan Chenggang's complicated mood, so he decided to change the subject and try to make the atmosphere a little more relaxed.
"So what's the last piece of news?"
Xiao Zhiyu asked, trying to sound calm.
Yuan Chenggang took the cup, took a sip of the cool water, calmed himself down, then looked at Xiao Zhiyu and spoke slowly.
"The Jiang family in the capital sent people here. They said Jiang Jiashu was the grandson of the Jiang family patriarch who had been living away from home!"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyu's eyes suddenly became cold, and he immediately understood the key.
"The Jiang family in the capital? Living in exile?"
Yuan Chenggang nodded seriously and continued, "But it's still unclear whether Jiang Jiashu is truly a member of the Jiang family. It's said that it will take some time for an investigation to confirm. As for why they've been separated for so many years, it's still unclear."
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ruan Chuxia's eyes next to him.
"It's called an investigation, but in reality, they want to see if Jiang Jiashu is worthy of being taken back by the Jiang family. After all, his mission after returning will not be easy."
Xiao Zhiyu sneered, "The internal struggles of the Jiang family have always been fierce. His wandering outside must be related to these things. Someone suddenly came to the door, which can only mean that the direct descendants of the Jiang family found clues, or... the direct descendants of the Jiang family can't fight anymore!" Ruan Chuxia secretly admired him in her heart. After all, he was from the Xiao family in Jingshi, and the complicated relationship between them was seen through at once.
The biggest reason why the Jiang family came to find Jiang Jiashu was that they only had one daughter in their direct line. As long as Jiang Jiashu went back, he would be the only legitimate grandson!
The importance of this identity is self-evident. It not only concerns the future of the Jiang family, but also means that huge family resources and power will be concentrated in Jiang Jiashu alone.
Of course, it is not so easy to return to the Jiang family.
If Jiang Jiashu was just an incompetent person, he would never be allowed into the Jiang family.
After all, as a prominent family in the capital, the Jiang family would naturally not accept an incompetent person to inherit the family business.
Xiao Zhiyu continued to ask: "Chief Yuan, do you know who is coming from the Jiang family this time?"
Yuan Chenggang had found out about this matter early on.
Although he is in Shenzhen now, as a former subordinate of Xiao Zhiyu's father Xiao Zhenwu, it is still relatively convenient for him to inquire about news in Beijing.
Yuan Chenggang has maintained close contact with Beijing for many years and is well aware of all the developments in Beijing.
"Don't worry, it's not her," Yuan Chenggang glanced at Ruan Chuxia calmly, "and the person who came this time is not from the Jiang family, but Wei Chengjun, Mr. Jiang's confidant."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a subtle silence.
she?
who is she?
Ruan Chuxia was full of doubts.
Although Yuan Chenggang tried to be ambiguous, the perceptive Ruan Chuxia still noticed something was wrong.
She immediately looked at Xiao Zhiyu with a questioning look, trying to get more information from him.
Xiao Zhiyu pretended not to notice her gaze, his brows furrowed. "It seems the Jiang family takes this matter very seriously, even alarming the old man. But why have I never heard of Wei Chengjun?"
Yuan Chenggang explained: "You naturally don't know that he has only been with Mr. Jiang in the past two years."
She vaguely felt that there were more secrets hidden behind this matter.
Xiao Zhiyu didn't know Wei Chengjun, but Ruan Chuxia was very familiar with this name.
In her previous life, this guy bullied her by taking advantage of his power and used all kinds of methods to make things difficult for her, claiming that it was to test whether she could become the daughter-in-law of the Jiang family.
In order to help Jiang Jiashu return to the Jiang family, she could only swallow her anger and respond to his challenges humbly.
However, even so, Wei Chengjun was still not satisfied.
In the end, he was attracted by her beauty and made some shameful requests, asking her to play with him.
This incident made her extremely angry, and she even told Jiang Jiashu about it. To her surprise, Jiang Jiashu not only did not believe her, but instead scolded her for being a woman who seduced men...
If she hadn't accidentally learned that the old man of the Jiang family was ill and hadn't awakened something called the "National Medical System", Jiang Jiashu might not even be able to enter the Jiang family's door!
But this life has nothing to do with her anymore. She wants to see how Jiang Jiashu can return to the Jiang family without her help!
After finishing talking about a few things, Yuan Chenggang also looked a little tired. He rubbed his temples with his hands, smiled, and said, "Zhiyu, Mr. Xiao called me again yesterday."
"He said you hadn't called him, and he couldn't get in touch with you, so he had to call me."
After saying this, he paused for a moment and continued, "I told him that you're doing fine now and that you didn't reveal your injury. Don't let it get out when the time comes."
Xiao Zhiyu nodded to show his understanding.
Yuan Chenggang sighed and said earnestly, "This matter must be kept secret. Your father has suffered a lot over the years. He has scars of all sizes, leaving behind a lot of hidden dangers. His health has also been getting worse over the years. We can't let him worry about you anymore..."
