A detached house, near the corner of the wall. Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned by this position.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t there be a first person staying in such a place? After all, there was no need to consider the security aspect.
“Madam, are you wondering why Mr. Chen is here?”
The military officer was very good at reading eyes. Shen Xiaoxiao only hesitated for a moment before he saw her.
Since she had been seen through, she did not hesitate and nodded.
The officer had a smiling face. Although he was in his thirties or forties, the dimples on his face were particularly obvious because of his smile. Moreover, even though he looked so harmless, Shen Xiaoxiao could recognize the stars on his shoulder. Three stars… This was a lieutenant general.
Good heavens, the person who came to pick them up was a lieutenant general. Who was this so-called Mr. Chen?
“Mr. Jiang doesn’t have the right to live in this house now, unless he is really caught by the military.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. The military caught him? Could this Mr. Chen who lived here be…?
Yan Kuan tightened his grip on Shen Xiaoxiao’s hand. Shen Xiaoxiao instantly realized that it was really that person.
But hadn’t he already left?
“Then there’s really a lot to wait for.”
“Sir, Madam, please.”
The two of them didn’t say anything more. They followed the lieutenant general into this mysterious villa…
Jiang Haoran returned to the villa, wanting to pick up his daughter and get ready to leave.
But Jiang Haoting wouldn’t let him leave so easily. He had already received the news that Yan Kuan had returned.
However, he didn’t know exactly what had happened at the banquet. There were already troops stationed there, and 50 corpses had been carried out. It was impossible for him not to know such a sensational matter.
Moreover, the wounds were all caused by Blue Demon. Even if he wanted to play dumb, he could not.
He did not know where Fourth Brother he had gone to. He had not returned until now, so he could only anxiously wait for Jiang Haoran’s return.
Jiang Haoran had returned. However, his attitude made Jiang Haoran extremely uncomfortable.
“Second Brother, what exactly happened? I have been waiting for you. Don’t you know?”
“Big Brother is so resourceful. Don’t you know what happened? You still need to ask me? You can just ask Fourth Brother. But Big Brother, you’re so straightforward. You won’t let me go even though I’m your biological brother.”
“How dare you. Second Brother, that’s how you talk to me?”
“Big Brother, have you been sitting in a high position for too long? How dare I? You’re not my father or my mother. You’re just my brother.”
“You…”
“If there’s nothing else, we’ll go back.”
“Second Brother, you know that’s not what Big Brother meant. We’re brothers.” Jiang Haoting looked at Jiang Haoran helplessly.
Jiang Haoran had long been immune to Jiang Haoting’s actions.
“Brother? I’ve never seen a Big Brother attack his own brother.”
“Lhave never thought of attacking you. Even if there is really danger, I have arranged people to protect you.”
Did Jiang Haoran believe that? Of course not.
If he had not been saved by accident every time, he would not have been able to wait for the people arranged by his Big Brother to save him.
“Then I really have to thank Big Brother. It is too late. I will take the two children back first.”
Jiang Haoran really didn’t want to talk more with Jiang Haoting. No matter how much he said, it was useless. He had already decided that when the two children were sent abroad, he would immediately pack them up and leave the country. His money was enough. As for these businesses… If the Jiang
family wanted them, they could keep them. They really thought that he wanted them.
Only they themselves thought that he wanted them.
After saying that, Jiang Haoran turned around and left.
However, Jiang Haoting would never give him such a chance. This younger brother of his was still useful. He definitely could not let him go just like that. After all, his younger brother’s relationship with Yan Kuan was better than his. It was also because of his younger brother’s recommendation that he
got to know Yan Kuan. That was why he got to know Yan Kuan.
Now was the critical moment. Yan Kuan had returned to the country. As long as he relied on his younger brother to stabilize the other party, everything would wait until after the military power election.
He was really reckless today. Now, not only could he not attack those people, but he even had to be careful not to set himself on fire.
“Shen Xiaoxiao was drugged tonight. Do you know who did it?”
Hearing Jiang Haoting’s words, Jiang Haoran had a bad premonition. What did his Big Brother mean by saying this all of a sudden?
Jiang Haoran finally had a reaction when he saw Jiang Haoting. He smiled indifferently and said, “Jiang Wenwen.”
“What?”
“You’re despicable. She’s still a child. She’s only 12 years old. She’s your biological niece. You watched her grow up with your own eyes. How could you do this?”
Jiang Haoran never dreamed that the person who drugged Shen Xiaoxiao would be his own daughter.
No wonder. No wonder that the banquet had not ended yet, but that girl who clearly liked to party the most had actually left with her grandmother ahead of time.
So that was it, so that was it.
However, he did not believe that his daughter would go against Shen Xiaoxiao for no reason. He must be using her, definitely.
“She is a member of my Jiang family. It is her duty to contribute to the Jiang family. Second Brother, you are thinking too much.”
“I think the person who is thinking too much is you. You b*stard, are you worthy of being my big brother? Are you worthy?”
“Hmph, regardless of whether I am worthy or not, you know the Black Emperor’s character. If your daughter makes a move against Shen Xiaoxiao, he will not let you off. Therefore, you can only stand with me and be tied to me. According to your friendship with Yan Kuan, you must stabilize Yan Kuan for
me. At least, until after the military power election. Otherwise, if something happens to Wenwen, I will not be able to protect her.”
Jiang Haoran didn’t expect that their brotherhood would turn out like this one day.
Similarly, he also didn’t expect that his daughter would bring him such big trouble. Yan Kuan was a person who protected people, and he even almost caused Shen Xiaoxiao to be in trouble. This time, it was really difficult to handle.
But if it was really like what his Big Brother said, he didn’t want to go to Yan Kuan.
D*mn it, this son and daughter was really a debt from his previous life.
“Think it over carefully. I still have something to do and have to go to the building. I hope to hear your good news tomorrow.”
Jiang Haoting tured around and walked out of the study.
He had already used their brotherhood as a benefit. This time, he absolutely could not fail.
Jiang Haoran walked around the study. He thought for a long time but still could not figure out what to do.
Jiang Wendong was waiting anxiously downstairs. His uncle had left for so long. His old man hadn’t come downstairs yet. Could something have happened?
“Old man, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Wendong had been back in the Jiang family for so long, so he finally saw clearly that no one in the family treated him sincerely except for the old man. So when he saw Jiang Haoran like this… The first thing Jiang Wendong thought of was whether his uncle had said something to threaten the old
man.
Jiang Wendong’s guess this time was really good. When Jiang Haoran saw Jiang Wendong, he suddenly thought of his relationship with Shen Xiaoxiao.
He asked tentatively, “Wendong, you and Xiaoxiao are very close, aren’t you?”
“What’s wrong, Dad?”
“Your sister got into trouble. Xiaoxiao was drugged by Wendong tonight.”
“What?”
