Chapter 57 The remaining people must be very anxious...
Jiang Xi has been meeting with local officials in charge of attracting investment to discuss investment matters.
The officials were very enthusiastic, even asking her if she had any places in mind. Jiang Xi had indeed chosen several places, saying that she was coming to develop her hometown, and she chose this place for two reasons. Firstly, it was to better explore the inland market, which was currently a huge opportunity. Secondly, the Jiang family was here, making it convenient for her to return and collect debts.
But today she was turned away by local officials. The person who received her was her secretary, who said that the leaders were in a meeting or that they were busy with something else.
When asked when the leader is free, the leader's secretary gives a flawless answer.
Just two days ago they were laughing and saying they were going to sign the contract, but today they're all nowhere to be seen. It would be strange if there wasn't something wrong.
Jiang Xi wasn't in a hurry and went straight back to the state guesthouse.
Xu Chao found it strange that she returned so soon after leaving. "President Jiang, is everything finished?"
“Those leaders are all busy, let’s talk about it in a couple of days.” Jiang Xi said nothing.
But Xu Chao had already sensed that something was wrong.
The return of Hong Kong to China has been scheduled. Even though it hasn't returned yet, everyone knows that Hong Kong residents are also compatriots. For Hong Kong businessmen investing, the treatment is actually somewhat different from that of foreign businessmen.
Although he is a Hong Kong businessman, he is more accurately described as a compatriot.
Moreover, Mr. Jiang is a local, investing in his hometown. It would be a win-win situation if we reported on it properly. Why did he suddenly say he was too busy today?
Others may not know, but Xu Chao does. President Jiang is a patriotic businesswoman, and she has solved the country's current computer problems, which makes her even more special.
It's not good to talk to everyone about computer stuff, since it's confidential.
He accompanied President Jiang here because the higher-ups wanted to make things easier for her investment. Everything was going smoothly, so why did a problem suddenly arise?
Xu Chao wasn't stupid; he felt it was inextricably linked to Jiang Guangzong.
Although he felt somewhat sorry for President Jiang, Xu Chao still wanted to find out what had happened, so he started investigating and learned about President Jiang's past.
Xu Chao could hardly believe what he had seen.
President Jiang's past was so... he didn't even know how to put it.
All I can say is that this family is sick.
They are both his daughters, but the daughters born to other women are treasures, while President Jiang's daughter is nothing but a blade of grass.
Especially this one, whom they acquired in exchange for two daughters, they cherished like a precious jewel.
Xu Chao simply couldn't understand this kind of person's behavior.
I also learned why the person in charge of investment in the county suddenly changed his attitude; it turned out that someone in the city had put in a good word for me.
Xu Chao was not afraid of a mere secretary to a city leader.
Xu Chao didn't know the Jiang family's thought process. He just assumed that they were afraid of the now successful President Jiang. After all, they had treated President Jiang so badly in the past, not only did they not treat him as family, but they probably didn't even consider him a human being.
Now that President Jiang has returned home in glory, they are afraid of his retaliation and therefore want to cut off her investment opportunities.
Xu Chao couldn't quite gauge Jiang Xi's attitude. He guessed that her willingness to invest in her hometown meant she still had feelings for her family, but now that her family treated her this way, he wondered if it would change her mind about investing.
Xu Chao will definitely report the county officials' avoidance attitude to higher authorities for handling. Now it depends on whether Jiang Xi decides to deal with it immediately or wait until she leaves.
Jiang Xi hasn't left the house for the past few days. He either asks his assistant to ask the county officials if they have time to discuss investment matters, but after several attempts, the officials all say they are too busy and tell Jiang Xi to wait.
"President Jiang, shall I go and take a look?" Xu Chao thought that if he revealed his identity, those people would not dare to do that.
After all, it seems that President Jiang really wants to invest in his hometown.
“Mr. Xu, I invest in my hometown to repay those who have been kind to me, not to benefit those who have bullied me. Of course, I want to get revenge on those who have wronged me.”
Jiang Xi was just putting on a show; she would invest if she could, and if not, she would move on to another place.
It's not like I have to hang myself here.
It's easy to deal with the Jiang family, but the real challenge is dealing with Jiang Yuzhu's current husband, Jiang Xi. She could find someone to keep an eye on the Zhong family, but that would be too troublesome, and she didn't want to drag things out for too long.
It's completely unnecessary for her to waste her time on these people; her time is money.
Xu Chao looked at Jiang Xi without saying a word.
“Mr. Xu, there’s no need to look at me like that. I used all legitimate means. I just hope that Mr. Xu can step in and make sure I get a fair treatment, and that I don’t get an unjust outcome because of interference from certain people.”
Xu Chao had been instructed by his superiors that as long as Jiang Xi did not do anything wrong, he should do his best to help her if she needed it.
Therefore, Xu Chao also stated, "As long as President Jiang's actions are legal, please feel free to ask if there is anything I can do to help."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Xu."
Jiang Xi hadn't originally planned to deal with the Jiang family so quickly; after all, compared to making money, those people were worthless.
But now it's not okay to stop her from doing business, as it hinders her from making money. But we still have to get some interest back.
Jiang Xi immediately called the police to report Jiang Chaoying for switching the children.
They also paid major local media outlets to write extensive reports about the incident.
Jiang Xi even felt that the articles written by the people in the newspaper were not sharp enough, so he called the media in Hong Kong. When it comes to being scathing, you have to look to the Hong Kong media.
When the media heard about it, they were immediately outraged. A father had switched his child with his wife's in order to raise another woman's child and then abandoned his own daughter. They were filled with righteous indignation and wrote articles condemning the father's heartless behavior.
Every word is sharp and incisive; I wonder if the Chiang family will be furious when they see it.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it provided many clues, and those who knew the Jiang family immediately recognized the connection.
Not to mention that a few years earlier, there had been a dispute about whether Jiang Yuzhu was a member of the Jiang family.
But the Chiang family is tight-lipped and refuses to say anything, so now it all feels like they're talking about the Chiang family. And their son-in-law, who's a secretary to a leader in the government, is rumored to have abused his power.
Even the radio was broadcasting about it.
"That wretched girl! It must have been that wretched girl who did it!" Jiang Chaoying was so angry that she threw a huge tantrum at home.
Yang Xinghua kept wiping away tears, saying, "She harbors hatred and wants to destroy our family."
Jiang Chaoying wanted to confront Jiang Xi, but before she could even leave her house, the police came knocking on her door.
"Comrade Jiang Chaoying, someone has reported you for abandoning your daughter. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation." The police officer showed Jiang Chaoying his identification.
"Comrade, these are all misunderstandings. Yuzhu is my daughter and my wife's daughter. It's just that others are slandering our family."
Jiang Chaoying gave Yang Xinghua a wink, and Yang Xinghua quickly said, "Yes, police officer, Yuzhu is our daughter. There are people who can't stand to see us doing well, but we must find out the truth."
As long as they insist that Yuzhu is their daughter, who can prove that Yuzhu is not their daughter?
Appearances don't prove anything. Even if Yuzhu doesn't look like the couple, she might look like an elder in the family.
Jiang Chaoying left with the police officers; they can say that, but the police also need to investigate.
The public had already begun to question the police because of their previous actions in releasing Jiang Sisi and Hu Weimin, so the police officers now have to follow the proper procedures.
Whether the person is innocent or not, since a report has been filed, it should be investigated.
Now the bureau chief is personally overseeing things at the bureau. Originally, the newspaper was also going to investigate, since it involved the police station. But unexpectedly, the newspaper had connections. Someone had submitted that article to the newspaper and paid them to publish it.
The bureau chief received a phone call and told them to investigate thoroughly.
Seeing her husband being taken away, Yang Xinghua suddenly lost her sense of direction.
Not long after, Jiang Yuzhu returned in a hurry, saying that her husband and in-laws had been arrested. She said that someone had reported Zhong Zibai for abusing his power and also reported her in-laws for accepting bribes. She originally wanted to talk to her father, but when she returned, her father had also been taken away.
“Jiang Zhaodi, it must have been Jiang Zhaodi who did it.” Besides Jiang Zhaodi, Jiang Yuzhu couldn’t think of anyone else who would hate her so much.
Jiang Sisi and her husband also returned. Seeing Jiang Yuzhu's exasperated appearance, they couldn't help but purse their lips. She used to act like an official's wife, but now she's so anxious that she's lost all her composure.
He's no different from a madman now.
Just as Jiang Sisi was feeling relieved that only her family hadn't been implicated, Jiang Yuzhu looked over.
"What are you so happy about? Do you think Jiang Zhaodi will let you off the hook? She's back to get revenge on us. Zibai has helped you a lot. If something happens to him, none of you will escape."
Jiang Sisi's smile vanished. Looking at her husband, Hu Weimin, she grew anxious. "No way, Zhao Di would really dare to send our family members in?"
"She's already sent the person in, do you think she dares to do it?" Jiang Yuzhu looked at her incredibly stupid sister, and was furious.
She was the one who started it all. When she found out that Jiang Zhaodi had returned, instead of coming back to discuss things with everyone, she went over and started spouting nonsense. Maybe it was because of her stupidity that she offended Jiang Zhaodi, making her want to take revenge on their family.
Now, everyone, without exception, has to come up with a way to resolve this matter.
Jiang Sisi's eyes darted around. "Perhaps there's someone who can help."
"Who? Tell me quickly!" Yang Xinghua urged hurriedly.
*
Jiang Xi carefully counted on his fingers: now the Zhong family, the Jiang family's biggest backer, is in jail, and Jiang Chaoying and Jiang Guangzong are also in jail.
The remaining people must be very anxious.
I heard that Jiang Chaoying insisted that Yuzhu was his daughter and that the child swapping was a fabrication by others.
Jiang Xi sat in the police station, and Xu Chao came over as well.
The bureau chief was under a lot of pressure, after all, the higher-ups had come in person, so things couldn't be taken lightly.
"I heard that our country has introduced a new identification technology in recent years. I wonder if it can determine the relationship between Jiang Chaoying and Jiang Yuzhu."
Jiang Yuzhu and Jiang Chaoying are father and daughter, but Jiang Yuzhu and Yang Xinghua are not mother and daughter.
"It's DNA testing technology. This technology has indeed provided a lot of help for our bureau in solving cases." The bureau chief was not surprised that Jiang Xi knew about this technology.
After all, they're from the port city; they've seen a lot, so it's normal for them to know.
They have already used this technology to solve several cases, but using it to determine parentage is a bit of an overkill.
"There won't be any problem," the director said.
Talking is not enough; they still believe in technology. After all, both sides have their own opinions, and that's where technology comes in handy.
They extracted Jiang Chaoying's DNA, and they also planned to extract Jiang Yuzhu's DNA.
Even Yang Xinghua was approached by the police. She didn't know what it was for; they just swabbed her mouth twice with a cotton swab, and then the police put their things away.
They even took a few strands of her hair, leaving her completely bewildered.
When Jiang Yuzhu was brought to the police station, she was still somewhat confused. But when she saw Jiang Xi, she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Jiang Zhaodi, you bitch, you better release Dad and Zibai right now, or you'll regret it."
"This is the police station, not your home. You better behave yourself," the chief snapped.
The deputy director made a mistake, and he was made to clean up the mess, all to save face for the Zhong family.
They are in the wrong now, and the bureau chief is in such a passive position. How could he not be angry?
Fortunately, it wasn't anything serious, otherwise he would have been in trouble too.
Jiang Yuzhu hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation. After all, her in-laws had a wide network of connections, so they wouldn't be defeated by this matter. She also didn't take the bureau chief seriously.
It's just the county public security bureau, what's there to be afraid of?
She resisted, and the police officers were equally ruthless; after all, Jiang Yuzhu had assaulted a police officer, so they were naturally entitled to take action as well.
They took her DNA and compared it with Jiang Chaoying's.
There won't be a result for a while, but Jiang Yuzhu has been detained at the police station for assaulting a police officer.
When Jiang Xi returned, a man carrying a child of a few years old rushed over, but was stopped by the bodyguards.
The man looked her up and down, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. "You're Zhao Di? You really are Zhao Di?"
Jiang Xi naturally recognized the man in front of her; he was her ex-husband, Tian Bin.
The child in her arms should be the one with Wu Yanan.
Tian Bin accompanied Wu Yanan on her final journey, and the only thing Wu Yanan left him was her son.
Unfortunately, Tian Bin didn't die with Wu Yanan.
When he took his son home to look for Jiang Zhaodi, he found that the house had been sold, and Jiang Zhaodi and her daughter had disappeared; they could not be found anywhere.
He and Wu Yanan rented their house for true love, but now they are homeless.
He's a grown man, how could he possibly take care of a child? He was counting on that stupid woman, Jiang Zhaodi, to raise his son, but she actually sold the house and ran off with the money-losing child.
Jiang Zhaodi wouldn't have dared to do it; it must have been instigated by the Jiang family. So Tian Bin went to find her, but unexpectedly, the Jiang family called the police and arrested him.
