So many people feel very sympathetic towards that girl, believing she must have been scared out of her wits. Her intense reaction is understandable.
After hearing this, Jiang Shihengâs gaze turned slightly cold.
"It seems, no matter how the Lu Family pretends, their bullying nature canât be hidden when they think no one is watching. Listen, start sending people out immediately..."
Jiang Shiheng quickly issued several orders.
The next day, Chiang Xiao got up and continued to disguise herself and wander around. Sure enough, she heard some different rumors from yesterday.
"Did you guys hear about the incident that happened last night at the Foreign-funded hospital?"
"Yes, I heard about it, heard about it. Itâs tragic, isnât it? In the middle of the night, they scared a girl so much she ran out of the hospital, and sheâs been missing ever since. Who knows what might happen to her."
"Exactly! That Old Master Lu is really ruthless, isnât he? His heart is so cruel. The girl was just there for treatment, had a nightmare in the middle of the night and cried out, and he actually got his bodyguards to grab her."
"Seems like, knowing faces doesnât mean knowing hearts. Although they say Old Master Lu fainted in a panic because his granddaughter was kidnapped, he sure doesnât treat other peopleâs daughters with any decency. Is his own child treasured while othersâ children are like grass?"
"I heard, luckily, people in the hospital last night stopped those two Lu Family bodyguards. Otherwise, who knows what might have happened to that poor girl. The thought of it is horrifying!"
"Yes, yes, indeed! Oh dear, this is D State, and even here Old Master Lu behaves so dominantly. I canât imagine how tyrannical he must be in Pingzhou."
"But isnât Miss Lu supposed to be a kind-hearted person? Moreover, sheâs been kidnapped now."
Someone raised this point of doubt, which was quite different from the previous remarks.
But someone quickly rebuffed, "In my opinion, Miss Lu isnât acting appropriately either. Didnât they say Sixth Young Master had just undergone major surgery before he returned? His body hadnât recovered yet, and he was still weak. If Miss Lu was truly considerate, how could she invite him over at such a time? Doesnât she know the weather was bad? Sixth Young Master, whose health isnât great, was too embarrassed to decline. Then he went and such things happened. Can Sixth Young Master be blamed?"
Upon hearing this, Chiang Xiao couldnât help but chuckle inwardly.
Seems her father had acted, definitely acted.
Itâs evident someone is driving this.
She leaned in and whispered, "Jiang Liuâs health isnât good, huh? After getting caught in the rain two days ago, might something happen?"
The man speaking earlier immediately continued, "I heard from Jiang Family that he got a fever and fainted. It was his bodyguard who carried him out. At that time, he didnât know anything. Later, the ship sank; they were floating in the sea while someone was chasing them with a boat!"
Chiang Xiao gasped sharply, expressing her concern, "Thatâs frightening; under such circumstances, itâs normal not to worry about Miss Lu. When youâre being chased, what else can you do?"
"Right, right, exactly. If they hadnât happened to encounter Jiang Familyâs big cargo ship, Sixth Young Master would probably not have made it. What a pity! To encounter such things right after coming back."
"Sixth Young Master is really pitiful," Chiang Xiao sighed and said, "Didnât Sixth Young Master bring the highly renowned Doctor Chen Baoshen from Capital City to the Jiang Family? Since Old Master Lu fainted in Jiang Family, why not let Doctor Chen take a look, instead of running to the Foreign-funded hospital? Is it that he doesnât trust Jiang Family? Wasnât Miss Lu treating Jiang Family as her in-laws for years? Was it all just talk?"
