Chapter 204: 153 Wants her to be utterly discredited, Fifth Master threatened? (3 more updates)_2
"Itâs at least giving me some face, by personally escorting her," Jiang Zhaolin had indeed intended to save Jiang Shuyan with those slaps he gave earlier.
However, he hadnât expected Jiang Jinsang to relentlessly press forward, not willing to back down at all!
Going to the police station, regardless of anything, the result would have been the same, only faster, as the police coming to take someone away would spread the news even quicker.
But compared to making it public online, this method would cause less harm.
...
But just as Jiang Zhaolin finished speaking, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance...
Jiang Shuyanâs body weakened, and she stumbled and fell, "DadâDad, I donât want to go to prison, Dad!"
Crawling, she clung to her father Jiang Zhaolinâs pant leg, "I wonât go, Dad, save me."
Jiang Zhaolin stared intently at Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, what do you mean by this?"
Jiang Jinsang simply smiled, "Uncle, you arrived too late. Had you come earlier, I wouldnât have called the police."
"This matter has already broken the law. The person in the hospital has been arrested, and now, spreading rumors online has a bad influence; they could be legally liable too. Iâm not the police, but even if this person were in my hands, I donât have the right to execute them."
Jiang Jinsang glanced at Jiang Shuyan, his tone still light, seemingly harmless, yet every sentence targeted their sore spots.
"Iâll leave everything to the police to handle, be it summons, fines, or detention, I wonât interfere."
"Uncle, you wouldnât interfere either, would you?"
"Iâm not that malicious; I wouldnât make it public online, especially since weâre all Jiangs, letâs try to save each other some face."
Jiang Zhaolin sneered:
Better to have no face at all!
...
Tang Wan gasped.
Reporting and arresting someone, and having it be from the Jiang Family, was far harsher than any public execution on the internet because once the news of the arrest spread, online discussions would be uncontrollable.
In the end, everything would lead to the same result!
Jiang Shuyan would...
Face utter disgrace!
"Dadâ" Jiang Shuyan, hearing the sirens, truly felt fear, clutching desperately at Jiang Zhaolinâs pant leg.
Jiang Jinsang smiled, "Since itâs all heading to the police station anyway; itâs cold and freezing, why should you trouble yourself with a trip, uncle?"
Jiang Zhaolin, smiling, "Though itâs cold, Iâm still in good health, a trip to the police station wonât be a problem for me. But for you, your health isnât great, donât worry too much, take good care of yourself!"
That was a veiled threat and warning already.
Jiang Yanting stepped between the two, speaking softly with a laugh, "Uncle neednât worry about Xiaowuâs health, better to take care of your own household affairs, after all, in your family, itâs not just Shuyan who is troublesome!"
Jiang Zhaolinâs forehead veins suddenly bulged.
"Whatâs this, Iâm still alive, whatâs this ruckus about, are you trying to rebel!" The old lady lifted her cane, fiercely pounding the ground.
...
But the sound of sirens, coming from far to near, stopped at the Jiang familyâs doorstep.
"Dad, save me, Dadâ" Jiang Shuyan was already terrified.
No matter what, she couldnât have imagined Jiang Jinsang not sparing her any slack!
"Stand up, wipe your tears!" Jiang Zhaolinâs eyebrows were tightly knitted.
"Dadâ"
"Stand up!"
Jiang Shuyanâs legs trembled, unable to get up; on the other hand, Zhuang Rao, kneeling aside, was dumbfounded by the whirlwind changes!
At this moment, she also understood that she was just a pawn on Jiang Jinsangâs chessboard, but compared to being used by Jiang Shuyan, she felt somewhat relieved being used by him.
After all, Jiang Jinsang had helped her vent some pent-up frustration.
Several police officers knocked and entered, Jiang Shuyanâs legs went weak, and in the end, she was dragged away by someone. The police then took statements from Tang Wan and Jiang Jinsang before leaving.
Once the police had left, Jiang Jinsang, smiling, looked at Jiang Zhaolin, "Uncle, since youâve come all the way, why not stay for lunch before you go?"
"Another day." Jiang Zhaolin greeted the old lady and others, then quickly left.
The entire Jiang Family had briefly settled down...
In the end, it was an internal struggle within the Jiang Family.
Wanwan had no idea that they had become so fiercely incompatible.
Both Wanwan and Tang Yunxian had witnessed everything. The old lady was openly talking without mincing her words, caressing her cane, and looking towards Jiang Jinsang, "Xiaowu, after today, Iâm afraid our family wonât be peaceful either."
"Even without this incident, do you think Uncleâs family would let us be at peace?" Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly, "Moreover, this breach wasnât initiated by us."
"No matter how good you are to Jiang Shuyan, itâs useless. Some things, when theyâre meant to happen, will happen, sooner or later."
"Right now, the company is controlled by father, soon to be handed over to the elder brother. Do you really think Uncle would be content to be subordinate?"
...
The old lady sighed, "With such a commotion, you still think youâre in the right?"
"Grandma, youâve always been clear-headed. Do you think itâs meaningful to conceal the truth?" Jiang Jinsang challenged.
The old lady was so angry she almost hit him with her cane, "Even so, you should have told me beforehand. With your uncleâs temperament, when you confront him like this, do you think he wouldnât dare to hit you?"
"You wouldnât let him lay a hand on me!" Jiang Jinsang said confidently.
"You..." The old lady, cane raised, almost brought it down.
"Grandma Jiang!" Wanwan, thinking the old lady was really going to hit him, quickly intervened, "It all started because of our family. Please donât blame Brother Wu."
"You girl..." The old lady huffed lightly, "Donât worry, I wouldnât bear to hit him. This kid is certain of that, which is why he didnât move, and see his mother and brother didnât react, and itâs only you worrying needlessly."
"I..." Wanwan was momentarily embarrassed to blush.
But by now, she had come to understand a few things. The conflicts within the Jiang Family already existed; Jiang Shuyanâs target might not necessarily be her, but rather the Jiang Family itself.
Otherwise, there was no point in using Jiang Jinsangâs name to sow discord.
The waters of the Jiang Family were indeed very deep.
Fan Mingyu changed the subject, "Yanting, werenât you at the company? Why did you come back?"
"Jiangjiang called me. I figured Uncle might come over, and I was worried that Brother Wu would be attacked," Jiang Yanting knew very well that Jiang Jinsang, unless he didnât move, would endure silently just like the previous auction.
If Jiang Shuyanâs issue had reached the old lady, the scene wouldnât be minor!
Sure enough, Jiang Zhenhuan at the company had already received the news.
[Jiang familyâs young lady arrested, reason unclear.]
[Jiang familyâs internal strife, suspected Fifth Masterâs intervention, disciplining his cousin.]
[Jiang familyâs internal conflicts intensify.]
...
What exactly Jiang Shuyan had done, no one knew, but it wasnât any major scandal; no murder or arson, the lawyer arrived, they paid some money, and she was bailed out first.
But the wave of public opinion was overwhelming and uncontrollable.
**
Jiang Jinsang had calculated everything precisely, even considering what Jiang Zhaolin might do in advance.
People in Beijing said he was too cunning, and this was not an exaggeration.
"Wanwan, what are you daydreaming about?" The old lady also wanted to go to the Hospital and went along with Wanwan. She sat in the car but kept daydreaming.
"I was just thinking, Brother Wu is so clever, he must have done very well at school in the past."
"He was often sick and had to take time off from school, but his exam results were always good," the old lady spoke with pride.
"Has he ever performed terribly in any exam?" Wanwan asked in detail.
The old lady narrowed her eyes and thought for a moment while Jiang Jinsang, who was sitting in the co-driverâs seat, coughed, reminding his grandmother to be cautious with her words.
"When he was learning to drive, he failed the second element three times. He was strong in theory but lacked practical skills, which is to be expected given his poor health. Technically, with his health, he shouldnât even have been able to apply for a driverâs license."
Element two...
Wanwan blinked, "That is quite difficult."
She had also needed two attempts to pass.
Jiang Jinsang frowned: In what ways was his health not good?
