Jiang Xianrou suspected that she had heard wrong. “Dad.”

Jiang Zongnan did not even look at her. It was obvious how angry he was this time.

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He also felt that his father was making a mountain out of a molehill. He pursed his lips and said with a dark expression, “Dad, this isn’t what you think.”

He then told him about what had happened at the clubhouse and how Qiao Nian’s classmate had seen Qiao Nian get into an unfamiliar sports car.

After Jiang Yao finished speaking, he showed Jiang Zongnan the photo of the sports car he had taken with his phone to prove that he was not lying.

In the end, he said, “Xianrou and I then went to Grandpa’s place. We hoped to remind Uncle to pay more attention to Qiao Nian’s friends.”

Jiang Zongnan looked at the photo carefully.

There was indeed a red sports car in the photo. He recognized the logo. He could afford such a car with his wealth. He knew very well that such a car was not cheap.

Jiang Zongnan fell silent after looking at the photo. He did not reply to Jiang Yao immediately. He just returned the phone and closed his eyes, as if he was deep in thought. After a full minute, he opened his eyes and shook his head at Jiang Yao. He slowly said, “Nian Nian is not such a person.”

Jiang Yao did not expect his father to still choose to protect Qiao Nian in front of the “evidence”. He did not mention that he had slapped Jiang Xianrou.

He was suddenly angry. He understood why his mother and sister did not like his little cousin from Rao City.

Jiang Yao’s face was tense as he retracted his phone. “I’ve already asked Xu Jishen to help me investigate the owner of the car. I believe he’ll send me a message soon.”

Jiang Yao’s thoughts were very simple. As long as he knew who the owner of the car Qiao Nian had taken was, he would know if they had wronged her.

As he spoke, the screen of his phone lit up.

Jiang Yao looked at the caller ID. It was Xu Jishen.

He simply turned his phone on and answered. “Hello.”

Jiang Zongnan and Jiang Xianrou looked at him and held their breaths.

“Hello.” Xu Jishen’s voice came from the other end of the phone after a second. There was nothing unusual about it.

“Have you investigated it?” Jiang Yao was about to ask him about the car.

Unexpectedly, Xu Jishen beat him to it. “I was just about to tell you about this!”

Jiang Yao immediately pursed his lips and waited for him to continue.

Xu Jishen suppressed his surprise and asked with caution, “Are you sure this is the car you saw your cousin riding today?”

Jiang Yao instinctively asked, “What’s wrong with this car? Is there a problem?”

“It’s not a problem, right?” Xu Jishen paused. “Do you know who the owner of this car is?”

“Who is it?”

Jiang Yao felt that he liked to keep people guessing.

It was just a car. Was there a need to keep circling around?

Xu Jishen said, “Jian Jin is the Chairman of JC Corporation and one of the big shots in the illegal district. I saw her at the hotel previously and thought that my eyes were playing tricks on me. I didn’t expect her to come to Beijing. Recently, many people from the illegal district have gathered in Beijing. All of them have powerful backgrounds.”

Jiang Yao thought he had heard wrong and did not speak.

Xu Jishen muttered to himself, “Speaking of which, Jian Jin is awesome. I heard that she has a deep relationship with that mysterious diamond big shot. She has always had the power of a diamond big shot behind her. I didn’t expect your cousin to know such a person… Your cousin is young but has quite a lot of connections.”
