Jiang Nuan saw that she had guessed half correctly. She had also heard about Tan Wenbin from Yuan Yuan. Since he was his biological father, he must know something?
“Jiang Nuan, you…”
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Nuan turned and left.
“Jiang Nuan, you can’t just leave like this. Don’t you want to know your background?” Jiang Shuo wanted to chase after Jiang Nuan, but he was restrained by two plainclothes police officers. He could only shout at Jiang Nuan’s retreating back.
Jiang Nuan said without looking back, “I can’t hear a single truth from you. Every word you say is a lie, and I don’t want to know.”
She knew Jiang Shuo’s temperament. If she wasn’t careful, he would lead her astray and make her take many detours. She might as well find the answer herself.
Since she had a clue, she could find out the truth.
Jiang Nuan did not return to the health preservation hall but went directly to Tan Wenbin’s home.
Tan Wenbin was over seventy years old. He walked slowly. The moment he opened the door and saw Jiang Nuan, there was a hint of curiosity in his cloudy eyes.
“Young lady, who are you looking for?”
Jiang Nuan’s voice was very cold, “I’m looking for you!”
“Me…” Tan Wenbin was a little confused, but thinking about what happened today, he became more cautious.
“Leave, I don’t know you.” The old man said angrily and was about to close the door.
Jiang Nuan quickly held the door shut. The old man looked at her fiercely, and she said word by word, “Grandpa, I was also raised by Jiang Shuo. You could say I’m also your granddaughter. I’m not here for anything else today, I just want to talk to you.”
“You’re Jiang Nuan?” The old man had dark spots on his face and poor eyesight. He squinted when he looked at people, and his body was thin, which made people feel sorry for him.
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly, “It’s me.”
The old man sighed slightly, “Come in.”
Jiang Nuan followed him in and sat down by the stone table in the yard. Tan Wenbin then asked, “Ask whatever you want to know.”
Jiang Nuan was also straightforward, “I want to know where my older brother and I were adopted from?”
Upon hearing this, Tan Wenbin shook his head vigorously, “If you want to know about this, I have nothing to say. I only heard about you and Jiang Xingyu later. As for where Jiang Shuo brought you from, I don’t know either.”
“Then are you his biological father? Why is his surname Jiang?” Jiang Nuan had many doubts and felt that Jiang Shuo’s life was a mess.
Tan Wenbin nodded, “He is indeed my biological son, but when he was very young, I sent him to Grandma Jiang to be raised. My wife left after giving birth to him, and I couldn’t raise him alone. That’s how I gave him away.”
“After he grew up and knew the truth, he came to find me. It’s that simple.”
Jiang Nuan looked at him, and he didn’t seem to be lying, but she still felt that there was something more to it.
“Is that really all there is to it?”
Tan Wenbin’s gaze flickered, and Jiang Nuan caught it. Jiang Nuan’s curled fingers tightened slightly.
“That’s it, nothing else. He never mentioned your and Xingyu’s identities to me. He doesn’t visit me often. He only came back recently because he had nowhere else to go.”
“You… you are not telling me the truth.” A hint of anger flashed across Jiang Nuan’s cold face. “You have also been separated from your own flesh and blood. You have also tasted the pain of heartbreak. My parents’ feelings will be just as unbearable as yours. Put yourself in their shoes. You’re already this old, and you’re still unwilling to tell the truth?”
“No, no, no, I don’t know anything. Don’t force me. Hurry up and leave.” Tan Wenbin suddenly hugged his head and roared at Jiang Nuan to leave in pain.
Jiang Nuan did not force him. If he didn’t want to say anything, he wouldn’t say it even with a knife to his throat.
She placed her mobile number on the stone table and said slowly, “You do know the truth. From your reaction just now, you are in pain because of guilt and unwillingness to face the past. If you come to a realization, you can call me anytime.”
After speaking, Jiang Nuan turned and left.
When the old man heard the sound of the door closing, he finally stopped his agitated emotions.
“Alas!” He sighed continuously, “Retribution, this is all retribution.”
Tan Wenbin was in great pain, his eyes tightly shut.
Jiang Nuan stood outside the door for a while before leaving.
Jiang Nuan got back into the car and looked around thoughtfully. She told Meng Yuan about Jiang Shuo’s arrest and then drove back.
In Qi Country, Mu Jiuchen had just returned from a meeting and was resting when Xiao Fan walked in quickly and stood beside Mu Jiuchen. He said, “Ninth Master, Jiang Shuo has been caught. It turns out he was in Jinshi all along.”
Mu Jiuchen smiled coldly, “This old fox finally couldn’t hide his tail.”
Xiao Fan was surprised when he heard the news, “It was Miss Jiang who assisted in the capture.”
“Oh! Nuannuan?” Mu Jiuchen was not surprised. Finding people was her specialty.
Mu Jiuchen casually straightened his body and said faintly, “Try to schedule these few days’ meetings for today and tomorrow. We must go back the day after tomorrow.”
These three little guys hadn’t responded to him at all.
It seemed their phones had been confiscated. He knew that school was very strict.
He just wanted to comfort his son. When a child is wronged or bullied as a child, and has nowhere to vent their grievances, they truly feel wronged. The thought of his son experiencing the same wronged feelings as he did when he was young made him feel heartbroken, and he wished he could rush to his son’s side immediately.
“Okay, Sir, I’ll go arrange it right away.”
After Meng Yuan got off the plane, she turned on her phone and saw Jiang Nuan’s message. She was stunned and looked at Jiang Xingyu beside her, “Brother Jiang, Jiang Shuo has been caught.”
Jiang Xingyu was very surprised, “He escaped before, how was he caught?”
Meng Yuan smiled slyly, “It was Nuannuan. She knew Jiang Shuo would definitely go to the pier to charter a boat to Modu.”
“That’s good. He must receive the punishment he deserves.” Jiang Xingyu had no sympathy for Jiang Shuo. Despite being father and son, they had ultimately become enemies.
“Let’s go. Let’s find Liu Fei and her son first.”
“Okay.” Meng Yuan found a hidden spot and sat down to check Liu Fei and her son’s whereabouts.
…
On the day of the appointment with Yu Han, in the evening, Jiang Nuan bathed and changed into a loose white casual set. She went to the balcony and opened the live broadcast. Soon, several hundred people came.
Today, Yu Han should have the results.
[She’s here, she’s here with her lies.]
[I’m just here to see her get slapped in the face.]
[I’m just here to see how Jiang Nuan explains herself.]
[I’m just here to see Jiang Nuan’s live broadcast fail.]
[Haha… Only I am here to see a beauty. It’s a pity Jiang Nuan isn’t showing her face. I heard she’s a stunning beauty.]
[Add me. I’m also here to see a beauty. The Lin Su incident was real. Lin Su has been sent to prison for less than five years, Jiang Nuan is innocent.]
[Holy crap, that’s my goddess. How vicious.]
[Quick, look, Yu Han has appeared.]
