Jiang Yu walked in and was met with Jiang Wan’s inquisitive eyes.
She raised her eyebrows. “You seem surprised to see me safe and sound.”
“Big Sister what do you mean?”!!
Jiang Wan said with a blank expression, “Just now, Big Brother was wondering why you hadn’t come home. I said that you went out of school together with Fourth Brother. We haven’t been going to and from school together for the past few days. I don’t know where you went either. That’s okay for me to say, right?”
“Besides, we were just talking about you, and you have come home. I was a little surprised, and you show right through me. But Big Sister, is there a problem with that?”
Jiang Yu shrugged. “No problem. As long as you’re happy.”
Jiang Wan stood up from the sofa. “Big Sister, I think that you might have misunderstood me. I did say something wrong the last time. You’re right. What people think in their hearts, they subconsciously say out loud.”
“Yes, I shouldn’t have doubted you. I was wrong. I apologize and hope that you can forgive me. If you’re not willing to forgive me, that’s fine because I’m the one at fault, I can’t force you to forgive me.”
“I really don’t understand what you mean by what you said today though. Did something happen when you went out with Fourth Brother?”
“Nothing.”
Jiang Yu turned around. She couldn’t be bothered to continue this topic. “Let’s eat. I’m hungry.”
Jiang Wan continued, “I still have to say that I’m sorry, Big Sister.”
Jiang Yu ignored her.
Jiang Wan lowered her head and didn’t look at Jiang Chenglang. She sullenly walked to the dining table.
Not a word was said during the entire meal.
After Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan had returned to their respective rooms, Jiang Chenglang too returned to the study.
He hadn’t forgotten what had happened before dinner that night.
Jiang Yu and Jiang Wan seemed to have had another conflict again.
However, Jiang Yu wouldn’t say something like that without reason the moment she returned. On the other hand, Jiang Wan was pouting as if she had been wronged.
Jiang Chenglang muttered to himself as he made a call.
“Rong Qi, help me investigate something.”
…
Jiang Yu returned to her room.
She sat cross-legged on the floor, took out her laptop, and started typing. There was a popsicle in her mouth.
Today’s incident had been too convenient, there must be someone behind it.
She originally wanted to trick Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan’s reaction had been a little too big and although she looked innocent, Jiang Yu wouldn’t write her off as unrelated yet just because of her performance.
Whether she had anything to do with it or not, let the facts speak for themselves.
She was only halfway through devouring the popsicle when the results came out.
The person behind the scene had indeed not been Jiang Wan.
It was a man named Lu Hetai. He was in his forties and was a contractor working for a construction company. On the screen was an unfamiliar face.
Jiang Yu really didn’t remember this person. She typed a string of codes and hit enter.
As she slowly looked through Lu Hetai’s family tree, Jiang Yu slowly smiled.
…
The Feng family.
Feng Linbai was about to practice his calligraphy when he used his palm to smooth out the paper and asked, “Have you found out what happened today?”
“Yes.” Ke Yanbin handed over the information he had found. “It should be related to the stepdaughter of the Jiang family.”
Feng Linbai was obviously not satisfied with this answer. “Should?”
Ke Yanbin replied, “The person who had hired the average assassins was a contractor named Lu Hetai. He usually uses the guise of a construction company to secure projects and earn some side income.”
“This Lu Hetai’s sister is Lu Xueping, Jiang Wan’s biological mother.”
