"Yeah," Jiang Gannian nodded, paused for a moment, and then said sadly, "A few of us old friends have actually been asking people to look for the Fan family since the year before last."
"It was only recently that the Fan family's case was overturned, and the relevant departments took the initiative to provide a lot of help and conducted a large-scale search overseas."
"According to the latest news, the last information about the three brothers and sisters of the Fan family appeared in a seaport. They bought tickets and were going to another country."
"But the cruise ship they were on unfortunately encountered a shipwreck midway. There were hundreds of people on that large ship, but in the end, not a single one of them returned."
Jiang Gannian said this and let out a long breath.
"So, it is almost certain that your mother and your two uncles have been killed."
Jiang Gannian looked at the dazed Jiang Tiantian and rubbed her head with heartache.
"I just got this news yesterday."
"I have asked someone to block this news. Currently, only the two of us know about it."
"I'm not going to tell anyone else in the family, for fear that they might reveal their true identity."
"As for your father, let him live with hope for the rest of his life."
As Jiang Gannian spoke, his eyes became red and he felt extremely distressed.
The Jiang family is really so sorry to the Fan family.
But let him bear all the sins alone.
During his lifetime, he will definitely take good care of the last drop of blood of the Fan family.
A hundred years later, he will go down there and personally apologize to everyone in the Fan family.
After hearing the news, Jiang Tiantian was stunned for a long time. Finally, with red eyes, she let out a long breath.
Turning around, I saw deep sadness and grief in Jiang Gannian's eyes.
I guess he must be very sad and feel guilty.
Jiang Tiantian stood up and hugged Jiang Gannian tenderly, "Grandpa, things have come to this point, it's useless to think too much."
"Don't blame yourself too much. We will build a cenotaph for the Fan family and I will go to pay my respects to them often."
She is the only one left in the Fan family now. She must find a way to take back the property and assets left by the Fan family and deal with them properly.
Jiang Gannian patted Jiang Tiantian on the shoulder and said, "I know you are a strong person. You should pay more attention to your father and don't let him feel too lonely."
"Yes, grandpa, I know." Jiang Tiantian nodded and let go of Jiang Gannian.
Jiang Gannian took out a handkerchief and wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes. "By the way, I have already asked someone to clean up the Fan family's assets. I will hand them all over to you later."
"When the time comes, it's up to you to decide how you want to deal with it."
"Okay, grandpa, I understand." Jiang Tiantian nodded.

A night passed.
The next day, before dawn, Jiang Tiantian boarded the departing train.
She touched the heart stone on her neck, feeling the warmth coming from it, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
In fact, this train does not go to Beijing.
Because Cha Jiuzhang and the others have not returned to the capital yet.
Cha Jiuzhang followed his mentor, Old Man Xiao, and was doing an internship project in the neighboring province, and was also collecting materials and looking for inspiration for the international architectural design competition they were participating in.
Jiang Tiantian had heard from Cha Jiuzhang before that they would be in the capital city of the neighboring province for the next two days and would stay there for about a week before returning to Beijing.
Jiang Tiantian thought about going to the next province first, meeting up with Cha Jiuzhang, and then going to the capital together.
Although the two had agreed that she would go to the capital to see him.
But she had never told Cha Jiuzhang when she would go to the capital.
Cha Jiuzhang probably thought that after he returned to the capital, he might have to wait for another month before he could see her.
He would never have thought that I would be by his side so soon.
Thinking about what expression he would have when she suddenly appeared in front of him, Jiang Tiantian laughed happily.
There is a small sense of excitement about the mischief that is about to be done.
It has been many years since I last rode alone on this most primitive green train.
At first, Jiang Tiantian sat on the lower bunk of the sleeper, staring at the scenery gradually receding outside the window, and she found it very fresh.
Later, I started to feel bored.
She took out the review question book and worked on it for a long time. When she finished the questions, Jiang Tiantian found that she had nothing to do.
From the busy pace of life, I suddenly have some free time.
Jiang Tiantian is still a little uncomfortable with it.
In order to have a quiet environment without being disturbed, Jiang Tiantian extravagantly bought tickets for all six beds in the box.
Of course, it wasn't bought in her name alone.
Otherwise, when the conductor came to check tickets, he would think that she was mentally ill and might even accuse her of being a capitalist hedonist.
It’s easy to ask Xiaoqi to help create a few fake identities.
When the conductor came to check the tickets, he thought at most that these five people were just unlucky and missed the train.
So, throughout the whole process, Jiang Tiantian was the only one in the box, and no one spoke to her.
In the end, Jiang Tiantian was so bored that she could only lie on the lower bunk. Then her consciousness sank into the planting space and she became a happy farmer.
At four o'clock in the afternoon of that day, after half a day's journey, the train finally arrived in Gaojing City.
Even though Jiang Tiantian was in such a strong body, she still felt a little overwhelmed when she got off the train.
My legs are almost numb.
The sound of "What's more~What's more~" and the long "beep" sound every time the train stops at a station seem to be echoing in my ears.
Jiang Tiantian complained about herself in her heart, thinking that without Cha Jiuzhang around, she seemed to have become more pampered.
Out of the train station.
Jiang Tiantian looked up at the sky in Gaojing City. There was no comparison with the sky in Chajia Village.
The air is much worse than that of Chajia Village.
Even the air in cities in the central region is much drier than that in Chengdu in the southwest.
I am used to seeing blue sky, white clouds, green grass, lakes and forests, and I am also used to enjoying the fresh air that often carries the fragrance of flowers and plants.
Jiang Tiantian was not used to coming to this big city in the central part of China all of a sudden.
Feeling the dry monsoon wind blowing on her face, Jiang Tiantian suddenly thought, hey, no wonder skin care cream sells so well in this city.
Thinking of the huge amount of money she was going to earn, Jiang Tiantian pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, just bear with it."
Who made Cha Jiuzhang the guy here?
Where he is, these small difficulties can be overcome.
Jiang Tiantian thought so pretentiously all the way, and then, according to the impression in her mind and Xiao Qi's guidance, she found a state-owned guesthouse where Cha Jiuzhang's project team had recently checked into.
At this moment, Old Man Xiao and his team are still working outside and none of them have returned yet.
Jiang Tiantian booked a room alone and prepared to tidy herself up and wait for Cha Jiuzhang to come back.
By the way, she also wanted to take a walk around the area to see if the Big Wild Goose Pagoda nearby still looked the same as she remembered.
