After the meeting, Jiang Hong said goodbye to everyone and couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone which was on vibrate mode to check. He glanced at it during the meeting and found it was a message from his wife, so he couldn't wait to check it as soon as the meeting was over.
The others were discussing the contents of the meeting in groups of three or four, but they heard a loud noise. Looking up, they saw that Jiang Hong's face looked extremely ugly for some reason. The teacup and notebook at hand were all knocked to the ground by him unconsciously, but his eyes were still fixed on the screen of his mobile phone.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. Is it a business or a private matter?"
"Old Jiang..." someone reminded Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with suppressed anger and disbelief, and said to the person who was talking to him: "Old Liu, I'll leave things here to you. I need to take a leave to go back to Beijing to deal with some personal matters. Please."
After saying that, Jiang Hong left in a hurry. Others also understood that it was a private matter. They didn't know what private matter made Jiang Hong show such a misbehaving side. Many people have been with him for a long time and know how steady he is usually and that he is the backbone of many people.
"Everyone, go home. Lao Jiang is taking a few days off. Everyone, don't slack off. We need to do our jobs well."
Everyone responded and walked out of the meeting room in twos and threes. They were very busy at work and not many people were gossiping. Jiang Hong seldom had a few days off throughout the year, so no one would object if he asked for a few days off at this time.
Jiang Hong called Xia Mingfeng as soon as he got back to the office, but the line was either busy or Xia Mingfeng hung up on him. Jiang Hong felt angry and didn't know who to vent to. Was his and Mingfeng's child really sent away by his own sister? Jiang Hong wanted to deny it, but the evidence in his phone made his eyes burn.
"Book me the fastest flight ticket and take me to the airport immediately." Jiang Hong instructed his secretary.
There happened to be a nearby flight, so Jiang Hong packed a few clothes and set off immediately. On the way to the airport, Jiang Hong was reminded by his secretary to read the revelations on the Internet. As Jiang Hong's secretary, how could she not know Jiang Hong's background and the grievances between him and Xia Mingfeng.
Jiang Hong immediately opened his phone to check. He felt dizzy when he saw it, especially the video of Jiang Yujin being taken away. In the video, she shouted those words to the camera. It was uploaded truthfully. Others didn't know, but Jiang Hong knew that the person Jiang Yujin was shouting at was his wife Xia Mingfeng.
Seeing his sister's attitude, Jiang Hong already knew that everything Xia Mingfeng told him was true. His son, who had been missing for more than ten years, was sent away by his sister, leaving his family in ruins and his son wandering outside with his life or death unknown.
"Puff!" Jiang Hong was so angry and anxious that he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Governor!" the secretary screamed, "Go to the hospital immediately, turn around quickly."
"Don't turn around, keep going to the airport, I'm fine." Jiang Hong ordered firmly, "Xiao Song, come back with me and keep an eye on what's going on online."
"Governor..." Secretary Song was worried, but Jiang Hong was very determined. He could only compromise and thought he would go to the hospital for a checkup when he got to Beijing. "How should I handle it online?"
This is equivalent to throwing the Jiang family's face in front of the public across the country and becoming a topic of conversation among the public after dinner. He wondered whether Jiang Hong should suppress the Jiang family's affairs?
"Don't suppress it! Keep exposing it. I'll see who dares to suppress it. Let everyone see what the Jiang family does. No one can bend the law for personal gain!" Jiang Hong was really furious. Because his sister and wife didn't know, it was already difficult for him as a big brother. But look at how his own sister treated him? Besides, how could a Jiang family member break the law knowingly?
This time, no one can ask for mercy from him. If he asks for Jiang Yujin, what about his and Mingfeng's child? Has anyone considered their child? He continued to call Mingfeng, wanting to ask if Mingfeng had found their child, whether their child was alive or dead, and whether the child was in good condition.
***
With Xia Mingfeng's push behind the scenes, and the fact that the incident itself was very topical and attracted a lot of public attention, the popularity of the incident rose very quickly, and it seemed that it would sweep the country in a short period of time. Many people opened their phones to comment on the incident, and some even gave Jiang Yujin the title of "the most vicious sister-in-law in history."
"I just heard someone mention the name Xia Mingfeng, and it sounded familiar to me. Now I look up and see that it is the Xia Mingfeng I know. She is quite famous in our hometown. She built Hope Primary Schools to support out-of-school children and did a lot of charity work. I have a photo of her here."
A netizen recognized Xia Mingfeng and was so surprised that he uploaded a series of photos of her online.
"What a coincidence! Xia Mingfeng has also been to our hometown. The Hope Primary School in my hometown was also built with money donated by Xia Mingfeng. It also provides free lunch. I graduated from this school and I met Ms. Xia Mingfeng at the school."
More than one person came forward to speak out, so some enthusiastic netizens conducted a careful search and posted the results online, shocking many netizens. It turned out that Xia Mingfeng had been doing charity work for more than ten years, especially helping children in backward areas. From the timeline of the first donation, it can be seen that it was the second year after her child was lost.
What does this indicate?
"Oh my God, looking at the timelines above, Ms. Xia has been to so many poor and backward areas. I think she went to these places with the idea of looking for her child. Maybe her child was sold to a poor place, and she hoped that her child would not be unable to go to school or have enough food to eat because of poverty..."
"Don't say anything upstairs, I'm crying."
"Tears +1."
"What a heartless and vicious little aunt! Why doesn't she just die? An adult actually attacked an ignorant child. Her conscience must have been eaten by a dog!"
"I say, the Jiang family and the Wei family are not ordinary families. If you want to discuss this, please do it quickly. Maybe this topic will be banned soon."
"Bah! They can control the Internet, but can they control people's hearts? If they don't deal with this most vicious girl, what's the use of the law? Is it just a decoration?"
Naturally, someone from the Wei family notified the family. When Jiang Yujin was taken away, she contacted a lawyer, and of course the lawyer had to inform Wei Xiangrong. Wei Xiangrong also couldn't believe that this was true, but no matter whether it had anything to do with Jiang Yujin or not, she couldn't go to jail, and she had to be brought out no matter what.
Wei Xiangrong still has a kind heart, so he asked everyone to keep the matter a secret from Wei Jiabai. He used all kinds of connections to put pressure on the people in the police station. He thought that finding his father-in-law and mother-in-law was the quickest way, but after thinking about it, he took a detour and found Jiang Bo. He told Jiang Bo about his panic and his worries. If Xiaobai knew about this, he would probably have another attack and be admitted to the hospital.
Jiang Bo had his phone at hand, and after a quick search he discovered that there had been quite a stir online: "Take Xiao Bai's phone away first, and don't let him touch the computer. I will suppress the news online immediately. Don't worry, one is my sister, and the other is my nephew who grew up under my care. I will not leave it alone."
"It's also on the Internet? Okay, I'll send someone to suppress it as well." Father Wei hung up the phone and cursed. It was unclear whether he was cursing Xia Mingfeng for causing trouble or Jiang Yujin for causing trouble. He called the relevant online platform again, determined to suppress the matter even if it cost money.
Jiang Bo was quicker to act than Wei's father. As soon as he took action, the number of hot searches on various online platforms dropped at a visible speed. Later, all comments with the names of the relevant people could not be sent out. What does this mean? Some netizens were right. Someone was manipulating public opinion, which further angered some netizens.
Secretary Song, who was instructed by Jiang Hong, kept an eye on the Internet and found that someone was indeed controlling public opinion behind the scenes. He made a phone call, explained Jiang Hong's identity and attitude towards the matter, and let the other party handle it.
After receiving the call, Weibo's top executives looked at each other in bewilderment. Some even doubted, "Did it really come from Jiang Hong's secretary? Did he really let outsiders comment on the Jiang family's affairs?"
"After all, it was his own son who was lost. It seems that Jiang Hong is very determined to investigate to the end, even if it might be his own sister who did it. I never expected that if I had such a vicious sister, I would strangle her to death."
“What about these trending searches and comments?”
"Turn back. If Jiang Bo has any objections, let him go find Jiang Hong. The Jiang family should first discuss and reach a unified attitude." Compared with Jiang Bo, Jiang Hong is more important. Jiang Hong is a provincial official, while Jiang Bo is still a businessman after all. Moreover, people who know the Jiang family's affairs know that Jiang Bo is the adopted son of the Jiang family, and the one who was abandoned is the Jiang family's grandson. In their opinion, it is impossible for the Jiang family to protect Jiang Yujin.
When netizens were filled with righteous indignation, they suddenly discovered that the hot searches on the Internet had been released again. They tried to type those names and they could send them out again. It was very strange, but no matter how strange it was, it couldn't stop them from paying attention to this matter.
As soon as the trending search came up, Jiang Bo came to question the senior management of Weibo after being informed. The senior management of Weibo said that this was Jiang Hong's intention and they couldn't go against Jiang Hong. Jiang Bo was speechless.
Jiang Bo didn't expect that Jiang Hong would know about this so soon. He might be going back to Beijing soon. He thought about it and decided that only the two elders of the Jiang family could deal with this matter. No matter how Jiang Yujin handled it, he didn't believe that the two elders of the Jiang family would be willing to let the Jiang family's affairs be criticized by the people of the whole country.
Moreover, considering the attitude of Jiang Yujin and Wei Jiabai, the two elders of the Jiang family, who love their family, there may be room for easing the situation. Jiang Bo does what he says and wants to inform the adoptive parents, especially the adoptive mother, before Jiang Hong returns to Beijing. He knows that the adoptive mother loves her daughter and grandson the most.
In addition to them, Yuan Jing was also paying attention to the movements on the Internet. When the hot search was removed, he did nothing and just watched. He wanted to know what Jiang Hong's attitude was.
It was Yuan Jing who first revealed that Xia Mingfeng was doing charity. Later, when he was no longer needed to do anything, enthusiastic netizens dug out and sorted out everything Xia Mingfeng had done over the years. He wanted to help Xia Mingfeng stand at the commanding heights of public opinion, thus highlighting Jiang Yujin's insanity.
Zhou Hengjun was angrily criticizing Jiang Yujin online when he suddenly found that he could no longer post his comments. He was so angry that he started cursing, not realizing that he was being controlled.
"Don't worry, I'll find someone to complain. If all else fails, I'll spend money to buy trending searches. Why shouldn't people talk about it?" When Zhou Hengjun was trying to find a solution, he found himself useless. The first solution he thought of was to find his uncle. His uncle would definitely have a way to find someone, but it seemed that he could do nothing except scolding people online.
He was frustrated that he couldn't help the little fox. It turned out that he was nothing without his elders.
Yuan Jing suddenly reached out and pinched Zhou Hengjun's earlobe, which startled the latter. Then his face turned red, and his earlobe was even more red. He stammered, "You, you, what are you doing?"
The tone of accusation is so weak.
Yuan Jing laughed secretly: "I'm not angry at all, don't be angry either, maybe you will recover later."
Zhou Hengjun's attention immediately shifted: "Really? Aunt Xia has a connection?"
"Maybe it's not her, maybe it's Jiang Hong."
"Him?" Zhou Hengjun frowned and didn't express his opinion. No one knew what Jiang Hong's attitude was now.
Up to now, the news about Yuan Jing has not been exposed. This is Xia Mingfeng's intention. She just needs to charge forward alone, and her child does not need to be put in front of the people of the whole country to be criticized by everyone. This time, she can protect her child.
It was because of the possible actions of the Wei family and the unpredictable attitude of the Jiang family that Xia Mingfeng sent all the evidence to Jiang Hong's mobile phone. She didn't believe that Jiang Hong could defend his sister after seeing the evidence.
She has done a lot to find the child over the years. She knows that Jiang Hong has not given up looking for the child. Whenever he takes up a post in a place, he will focus on the human trafficking issue at that time and rescue many abducted children and women.
But because the culprit was Jiang Hong's own sister, Xia Mingfeng was unable to talk to Jiang Hong calmly, so she even hung up the phone and did not answer it.
Jiang family.
Jiang Bo found his adoptive mother. As the adopted son of the Jiang family, he already knew the tempers of the two elders and knew how to talk to them.
He first said that Xia Mingfeng might have found Chenchen. Old Mrs. Jiang was stunned at first, and it took her a while to realize who Chenchen Jiang Bo was talking about. It was her destined grandson who disappeared after raising him for more than a year. The grandson's full name was Jiang Qichen, and his nickname was Chenchen.
Because her daughter didn't like her daughter-in-law, Old Mrs. Jiang, who loved her daughter, also thought that there was something wrong with Xia Mingfeng and didn't think much of her. But she still loved her grandson very much. After all, she was the first grandchild in the Jiang family. But who would have thought that she would be lost? Her daughter had kept repeating this in her ears, and she also thought it was Xia Mingfeng's fault. If she hadn't insisted on going out to work and leaving the child to the nanny, how could the child be lost?
After a long time of being lost, the old lady realized that the possibility of finding the child was very low, so she gradually let go of her original mood and began to persuade her eldest son that since Xia Mingfeng refused to have another child with him, it was just right to divorce him and find a daughter-in-law who could get along with her daughter and please their elders, which would be a great happiness for both of them.
Anyway, in her eyes, her daughter is perfect in every way. It must be Xia Mingfeng's fault that she can't get along with her daughter. After all, to the Jiang family, Xia Mingfeng is an outsider. How could they blame the daughter whom they have loved since childhood because of an outsider?
But she didn't expect that her son just wouldn't listen to her and refused to divorce that woman, which made her and the old man dislike Xia Mingfeng more and more. Now, they only have one child, Xiaobai, to care for them. All this is caused by this woman, Xia Mingfeng.
The old lady frowned when she suddenly thought of the child. Jiang Bo knew what was going on at a glance. How could a child who had been lost for more than ten years and whose whereabouts were unknown be as important as the person in front of him, especially Xiao Bai who could not stand the slightest provocation.
"Mom, calm down and listen to me. I don't know what my eldest sister-in-law was thinking. She had my second sister arrested and said that it was my second sister who ordered Chenchen to be kidnapped."
"What? This is impossible! How could Xiao Jin do such a thing? Bah! I knew that this woman Xia Mingfeng disliked my daughter, and she still hasn't let my daughter go. I will fight her! Where is she? I will go find her!" the old lady said angrily.
"Mom, calm down. I'm afraid you'll be angry. I don't know where my eldest sister-in-law is now, but the most important thing now is that my second sister has been taken away. If Xiaobai hears it, Xiaobai's body will be..."
The old lady almost gasped for breath. Thinking of the pain her obedient grandson was in when he had an attack, she immediately felt pain: "Quick, check which police station she was taken to. Go and call them to release her. My daughter couldn't have done anything wrong. Oh, I'll find the old man again. His words are more effective than mine. Do these people really think that our Jiang family has no one left?"
The old lady shook off Jiang Bo's hand and ran out to find the old man who was playing chess with others. Her daughter had been kidnapped, and this old man still had the leisure to play chess.
Old Master Jiang was stunned by the old lady's words "My daughter asked Xia Mingfeng to call the police to arrest that woman", so he quickly left his chess friends and ran back to find out what was going on. Jiang Bo was still there, and he said he didn't know the details, but he knew that it was his sister-in-law who called the police to arrest the person. He didn't know how to deal with it, and he was afraid that Xiao Bai would have a relapse.
Mr. Jiang was much more rational than the old lady. Although he disliked Xia Mingfeng, the eldest daughter-in-law, who refused to have another child and dragged her feet on divorcing her eldest son, why did he interfere with the police investigation before the matter was clarified? Maybe he just took her there for questioning to assist in the investigation.
"Wait a minute, I'll go up and make a phone call to find out what's going on. Don't be so hasty, just tell Xiao Bai not to tell him."
The old lady chased after him and shouted, "Tell someone to release Xiao Jin quickly. Don't you know who your girl is?"
The old man waved his hand and didn't respond. He knew very well what kind of person his girl was. She was not the kind of person who would be bullied. He used to be quite proud of her and raised her like a boy. But when she grew up, she became disloyal and was always thinking about the boy named Wei.
After several phone calls, the old man finally found the police station handling the case and found the person in charge to inquire about the details. Now, both the evidence found and the testimony of the witnesses were very unfavorable to Jiang Yujin, especially since a large sum of money had indeed been withdrawn from Jiang Yujin's account, which was completely consistent with the testimony of the witnesses.
The phone in Mr. Jiang's hand slipped out of his hand. He felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground. His heart also began to ache. The old man quickly found some medicine and drank it with water. Then he sat down in a chair, panting, and thought about the whole thing carefully.
He was still confused. Why? Why did his own daughter send his own grandson away?
When his grandson was born, he was so happy that he wanted to hold him all day. When his grandson was lost, he was so heartbroken that it took a long time to ease his pain. But what was his daughter doing at that time? Yes, she was talking bad about her eldest sister-in-law in their ears, saying that it was her fault that the child was lost because she didn't take care of the child herself. He and his wife couldn't help but vent their anger on their eldest daughter-in-law.
In fact, he knew in his heart that his daughter-in-law was not to blame. It was just that his only grandson was missing and could not be found. Who could he blame?
This... this is the daughter that he and his wife dote on so much? She watched him suffer and never told the truth, without even a hint of guilt?
What kind of daughter did he have?
