Chapter 185 The Whole Family Was Kidnapped
The ward was silent.
Across from him, Xu Bai, unusually, put his mind to work.
"...Madam, has your family ever had any enemies?"
Madam Jiang's eyes instantly sharpened.
Right under her nose, they bribed Chu Man to orchestrate a shipwreck that killed Feng Chun and Zhu Xing, but also took away four children, which she ultimately ruled as an "accident."
Very few people possess such methods.
Xu Chi stared intently at the girl not far away, watching as her brows furrowed little by little as she tried her best to hide her urgency, but her toes still couldn't help but slip on the ground.
He suddenly looked away and said calmly, "So that person is doing this to get revenge on the Jiang family?"
Tu Yao subconsciously looked up.
Xu Chi continued, "If he was seeking revenge because he had a grudge against the Jiang family, then why did he take Tu Xiaomao and the others with him during the shipwreck incident instead of wiping them all out?"
"Of course, he may have wanted to prolong this revenge, but after Chuman died, he never seemed to reappear."
His eyes seemed to glance at Tu Yao unintentionally.
"...After that, he didn't seem to harm Tu Xiaomao, Teacher Tu, Nan Ke, or Lin Yue."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Yao paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly said, "What if he makes a move!"
"Or... could it be that he ordered someone else to do it, just like he ordered Chu Man?"
A smile flickered in Xu Chi's eyes.
"For example?"
Upon hearing this, Tu Chaoxi suddenly realized something.
He said coldly, "...For example, my Seven Deadly Sins four months ago, Nan Ke being falsely accused of plagiarism, the concert incident, and Lin Yue and Tu Xiaomao being blacklisted and trending on social media last time!"
Beside him, Lin Yue said in a muffled voice, "Big brother, didn't you say last time that Bai Chumeng did all of this?"
Everyone was stunned when he said that.
Cheng Sangsang looked stunned and immediately stood up: "...I know that Teacher Tu's Seven Deadly Sins is related to Bai Chumeng, but wasn't Nan Ke's plagiarism done by his classmate out of jealousy? And the concert, didn't Wei Tai bribe those two violinists?"
Tu Chaoxi said irritably, "I've investigated, and she's the one who did all of this."
He looked at Tu Yao and sighed, "We didn't dare tell Tu Xiaomao before because we were afraid she would be scared."
Even though his sister is usually confident and bold, she would inevitably worry if she knew that all three of her brothers were being targeted and in danger from time to time.
After Tu Chaoxi finished speaking, she carefully examined Tu Yao's expression.
Afraid of scaring her, he quickly pulled her over: "...Tu Xiaomao, don't be afraid, we've been prepared for this."
Tu Yao blinked and nodded: "...I'm not afraid!"
Xu Chi lowered his eyes and couldn't help but chuckle.
...One dared to offer comfort, and the other actually dared to respond.
Tu Yao even dared to press the matter further: "Brother, so you mean Bai Chumeng might also be acting under the orders of the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"...That's possible."
Madam Jiang's face had completely darkened.
"Then let's start the investigation with Bai Chumeng."
Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, she won't let it go.
Beside them, Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai exchanged a glance, both sensing a hint of lingering fear in each other's eyes.
So far, every time they thought they had seen and recognized Bai Chumeng's true colors, reality always gave them a rude awakening the next second.
Cheng Sangsang pursed her lips: "...Madam, my father should still have some things left by Chu Man. I'll tell my uncle in a bit and have someone bring them over."
Madam Jiang's expression softened: "Miss Cheng, thank you."
Tu Yao sat on the edge of the bed, pursed her lips, and breathed a sigh of relief.
...That's good. She couldn't articulate those unnatural things, but at least everyone reached a consensus.
Her family and friends are very smart and will find more information by following Bai Chumeng's lead.
"Little Mao".
Tu Yao looked up.
Madam Jiang's eyes softened: "Why are you spacing out?"
She pulled the person back over, holding Tu Yao's hand with one hand and taking Lin Yue's hand with the other.
"Don't be afraid, Grandma will be here to protect you."
Tu Yao smiled too.
"I will protect you too."
The number of people she had to protect kept increasing.
The butler pushed open the door and entered, and was inevitably stunned by what he saw.
The next second, his expression immediately changed: "Madam, what's wrong? Why are you in the upper courtyard?"
Madam Jiang smiled and waved her hand: "It's nothing serious. The children were just worried and gave me two bottles of glucose."
His tone carried a hint of obvious boasting.
It's a tone that old ladies don't often use, and don't have many opportunities to use.
She glanced at the file folder in Jiang Liqing's hand. "Did you find the shipping contract?"
Cheng Sangsang and Xu Bai immediately stood up.
“Yes.” The butler took out a document and handed it over. “Found it. It was transported from the port to the Yanjing base, and two different transport convoys were used.”
Cheng Sangsang quickly took it and opened it.
The contract's client was indeed from Hong Kong, but it was a company she had never heard of before.
"I also checked the company, and it turned out to be a deregistered company that only transported that batch of materials."
"If Ms. Cheng wants to continue investigating, some of the registrant's information is also included."
"But given the harbor and limited time, this is all I could find."
Cheng Sangsang took a deep breath. "That's enough, thank you!"
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he looked at Madam Jiang. The old lady was still holding Tu Yao and Lin Yue's hands tightly, and Tu Chaoxi and Nan Ke were also standing around.
This scene was both harmonious and somewhat strange.
Before he could ask, Madam Jiang spoke with a smile.
"Liqing, I have some good news to tell you."
"These children all belong to our family."
The butler was taken aback and glanced at each of them.
"You...brought this whole family here?"
