Trembling with fear, Jiang Wenbin walked out of the Di Jue Group building, his heart pounding uncontrollably. He looked back at the building behind him with unease.
Could it be that they suspected him?
Jiang Wenbin was terrified.
He hailed a taxi from the roadside and scrambled into the car.
...
A cheap rental room.
"You're saying my dad was invited to Di Jue Group by Di Mingjue?" Jiang Feifei was informed by Xu Jingya as soon as she entered.
This was a disaster!
Jiang Feifei pushed Xu Jingya's arm away, her tone displeased as she rebuked, "Why didn't you ask me first?"
Since the last plan failed, their family of three had been like rats scurrying across the street. They had to hide from creditors while trying to live a normal life.
Looking at the room with peeling walls, Jiang Feifei couldn't stay for another moment.
"How long has he been gone?"
"Nearly two hours. He should have been back by now."
Xu Jingya peered out at the alley, clearly seeing the taxi parked at the entrance.
"He's back!"
With a shout, Jiang Wenbin hurried towards them.
Jiang Wenbin pushed them into the room, panting, his head still poking out to look left and right before closing the door, as if he were being chased.
The door creaked shut, plunging the room into darkness.
Jiang Feifei kicked an inconvenient stool, instantly furious, and yelled to turn on the lights.
"Don't!" Jiang Wenbin reached out to stop her. "Something big has happened. You need to pack your things quickly and leave here immediately."
"Weren't you just meeting Di Mingjue? What big thing happened?" Xu Jingya asked, confused.
They had just paid the rent for this room, and now they didn't even have money for food. If they left now, they would have nowhere to live.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps were heard outside the door. Jiang Wenbin immediately crouched down and covered his mouth.
His strange behavior left Jiang Feifei and Xu Jingya bewildered. They dared not act rashly, mimicking his movements and crouching down.
Only when the noise outside subsided did Jiang Wenbin dare to explain, "Di Mingjue asked me about Lu Yuman today."
"Why would he care about her?" Xu Jingya's face paled, and she asked nervously.
Jiang Feifei, standing nearby, didn't understand, but she vaguely remembered that Lu Yuman was Jiang Ziyu's biological mother.
"He said he was just asking casually, but I think something's wrong. Do you think Ziyu suspects that her mother's death is related to us, and that's why she had Di Mingjue invite me to Di Jue Group to probe my words?" Jiang Wenbin guessed.
This was not impossible.
Xu Jingya picked at the dead skin on her lips and asked frantically, "It should be fine, right? So much time has passed. No matter how capable he is, he can't possibly recreate what happened back then. As long as we deny it, they can't forcefully pin the crime on us."
"Denying it is one thing, but we can't just wait for doom to befall us," Jiang Wenbin said after thinking for a moment. "We need to find the former driver of the Jiang family as soon as possible and make sure he keeps his mouth shut to ensure everything is foolproof."
They hadn't contacted him in over ten years. They didn't even know if the driver was alive or dead, and the capital was so big. How could they find him just by saying so?
Xu Jingya couldn't help but pour cold water on his idea. "With our current situation, can we find him?"
They had no money and no manpower. The idea had come up, but they might be found by Di Mingjue before they could even start.
Jiang Wenbin sighed and his gaze fell on Jiang Feifei.
"I don't know what you're talking about. It's no use looking at me," Jiang Feifei said to him heartlessly.
Xu Jingya, receiving a look from Jiang Wenbin, immediately stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Feifei's arm. "Feifei, this is about the safety of our entire family. Just listen to your dad and try to borrow from your friends again."
