Jiang Nuan didn't quite understand Madam Jiang's actions. In her position, she had everything she wanted, so why would she risk doing something like this? She asked, "Mu Yichen and his son did it for money, so what did Madam Jiang do it for? Lin Zeyue was also her person, and the other Pavilion Master was able to impersonate him because of Lin Zeyue. So, what was Lin Zeyue's motive?"
Number One smiled and said, "Nuannuan, if it's not for money, it's for power."
Jiang Nuan was still confused, especially by Madam Jiang's family's actions. She looked suspicious, "The Pavilion Master is on the third floor. Doesn't Jiang Letian know her father is on the third floor?"
Number One shook his head, equally puzzled. "I don't know about that, but Jiang Letian seems to have another sister. This older sister doesn't seem to be favored and was sent abroad by Madam Jiang. Madam Jiang poured all her efforts into cultivating her younger daughter. However, her younger daughter has mediocre aptitude, and everything she has is bought with money."
As for the elder daughter, Madam Jiang adopted a completely passive stance.
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly, suddenly thinking of something, and her heart tightened.
"I'm afraid our situation will become more dangerous. The other Pavilion Master can remove the mask on his face and become someone else, and we will be framed as the kidnappers of the Pavilion Master. With Madam Jiang's schemes, she will definitely issue a warrant for the kidnappers," Jiang Nuan reacted quickly.
But she didn't know what role He Chengyi played in this conspiracy.
Number One saw a checkpoint ahead and said to Mu Jiuchen, "It's over, there's a checkpoint ahead, it's people from the Dark Night."
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiuchen and said, "Husband, turn right ahead."
Number One took out the navigation and quickly scanned the surrounding map. He frowned and said, "It seems we can't go back into the city. There are checkpoints everywhere."
"The next red light intersection..." Number One said excitedly, "Mu Jiuchen, drive faster. The next red light intersection has no checkpoint."
Mu Jiuchen turned and accelerated.
Jiang Nuan closed her eyes, rapidly analyzing the events of the evening in her mind.
If Madam Jiang discovered the Pavilion Master was gone, then if they took the Pavilion Master, Madam Jiang wouldn't know she was...
No, Madam Jiang definitely knew she was Vicky, because Lin Zeyue also knew her other identity.
Then they would relax their vigilance on the hospital, on the premise that Madam Jiang knew that person was her.
This way, they would only think that she would take the Pavilion Master to a safe place.
Jiang Nuan's eyes snapped open. The most dangerous place was the safest place.
Mu Jiuchen also spoke up suddenly.
"I have property near Madam Jiang's residence."
Jiang Nuan's eyes lit up, and she looked at him. "Let's go back immediately. Madam Jiang would never have imagined that we would think the same way as her. The most dangerous place is the safest place. And placing the Pavilion Master near her home, she definitely wouldn't think of that. She would only think we sent the Pavilion Master to a hospital or a hospital under our name. With Madam Jiang's calculations and suspicions, she would now be meticulously searching hospitals under your name or the Lu family's name, and would overlook the area near her home."
Number One: "...Nuannuan, you truly live up to your reputation."
With the matter resolved, Number One breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, how is Song Yang's grandmother?" Number One remembered Jiang Nuan's intention to help Song Yang.
Jiang Nuan was too kind-hearted. Song Yang himself couldn't resist temptation and ruined his own life.
Jiang Nuan thought of Song Yang's eager eyes and narrowed her own. She said, "I've arranged for her grandmother to be in the hospital. I'll perform surgery for her in about half a month. I don't have time recently."
"Mm! Her attitude in admitting guilt was very good, and she voluntarily returned the illicit gains. The person who instigated her was Mu Yunfeng, and she was sentenced to less than three years of imprisonment. This world is so unfair. She wanted to kill you, but you let her go."
Number One looked at Jiang Nuan with heartache. She had been falling into traps and being bound by conspiracies all along this journey.
And all of this was inextricably linked to him.
Just as Jiang Nuan was about to speak, she heard Number One utter a low apology.
"Nuannuan, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Nuan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Why are you apologizing!"
Number One forced a smile. Because of his father's affairs, he had selfishly dragged Jiang Nuan into this conflict.
Mu Jiuchen had always suspected him, and his direction was not wrong.
"Nuannuan, in the future, after you leave me, don't easily trust anyone again, don't wrong yourself, and don't be trapped by human nature's schemes. Live a happy and joyful life."
Number One sincerely wished her and Mu Jiuchen nothing but happiness from now on.
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered over his handsome face. She suddenly smiled and asked, "Do you have a terminal illness?"
"Uh..." Number One scratched his head. "Nuannuan, I don't!"
Jiang Nuan found it strange. "Then why did you say what you just said, as if we were about to part in death?"
Number One: "..."
He just felt guilty towards her, which was why he said those words from the bottom of his heart.
Jiang Nuan didn't understand, but Mu Jiuchen knew why Number One said that.
The red light intersection was just ahead. Seeing police officers setting up a checkpoint, he turned again after the light turned green. They blocked the cars going out but let the vehicles entering the villa area pass.
This action alone allowed Mu Jiuchen to easily return to a villa situated slightly higher on a terrain behind Madam Jiang's residence.
Seeing the detached villa before him, Number One looked at Mu Jiuchen enviously. "Mu Jiuchen, you say, how can you be so rich?" Number One was filled with envy.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at him coldly from the rearview mirror. "You are also an inconspicuous wealthy person, why envy me."
"Alas! With the little money I have, it's not even a fraction of yours." In his heart, he was accustomed to smaller houses, which felt exceptionally warm and cozy.
Mu Jiuchen drove the car directly into the garage.
This was where he had prepared for his family to move in. However, when he considered this place, he found it too quiet. Although the house and environment were very good, it was not as good as the area where the Lu family lived.
He planned to buy a villa near the Lu family's residence.
He would not consider this place, hence it was left idle.
The car stopped in the garage. Mu Jiuchen got out and, along with Number One, helped the Pavilion Master out.
Then they took the elevator up.
Jiang Nuan also retrieved a first-aid kit from the trunk and followed them up.
Jiang Nuan asked Mu Jiuchen to place the Pavilion Master on the second floor, by the back window.
The two of them carefully placed Jiang Yu on the bed.
Jiang Nuan walked over, sat by the bed, and carefully examined the Pavilion Master's body.
There were no external injuries, and she was somewhat puzzled. Was it not an accidental brain death?
Number One looked at her expression, which was not right, and felt nervous. Could he be dead?
Don't be. The current Jiang Yu was a hot potato, and he didn't know what tricks his wife would pull.
Seeing that Jiang Nuan still didn't speak and was frowning tightly, Number One became restless. "Nuannuan, your expression looks off. Did the Pavilion Master pass away?"
