135: Chapter 135: The Husband is Too Outstanding 135: Chapter 135: The Husband is Too Outstanding Jiang Feng said, “According to the police, at the two explosion sites, the surveillance footage shows only these two individuals lingered around longer at those specific locations.”
“But strangely enough, the information we found indicates that the household registrations of these two people have been canceled.
In other words, they are essentially non-existent in this world,” he added.
Su He’s brows were tightly furrowed as she reviewed the materials.
Jiang Yan naturally noticed the change in her expression.
His gaze never left her.
He spoke up, “What’s wrong?
Is there a problem with these materials?”
“Have you offended anyone lately?” Su He looked up and asked him.
These people, if not targeting Jiang Yan, were targeting Helian Lu.
Plus, just yesterday, She had Jiang Feng confirm that there weren’t any critical figures present in the restaurant at that time.
So she couldn’t help but suspect.
But—
Helian Lu, being a prince of the Y country’s Royal Family, it’s unlikely that the Black Mercenary Group would provoke the Royal Family.
Moreover, Helian Lu is someone who values his life.
He never causes trouble outside; the main reason being, his family controls him strictly.
So, that leaves Jiang Yan as the sole possibility.
But why would the Xuanqing Organization people be targeting him?
“Madam, do you know who these people are?” Jiang Feng asked.
Su He nodded.
“These are people from the Xuanqing Organization.
They have unique identities; all are criminals who have committed serious crimes.
Xuanqing Organization selects suitable individuals to take back and train as mercenaries.”
Jiang Feng stared incredulously, “The Xuanqing Organization that, according to rumors, dares to do anything and is utterly ruthless?”
Although he had never encountered them, he had heard of them.
Su He acknowledged with a hum.
Moreover, these people only recognize money, not faces.
They have never failed a mission they’ve taken on.
If this time their target was Jiang Yan, without a doubt, their mission has failed.
That being the case, once they find out Jiang Yan is still alive, there may be a second attempt.
“But if their target was Master, how would they know we’re here?” asked Jiang Feng the critical question.
Su He wanted to know as well.
Their trip to Y country was a last-minute decision, which not many people knew about.
Furthermore, she had specifically asked someone to conceal their itinerary to prevent Ye Jiuqing from detecting it.
If even Ye Jiuqing didn’t know their arrival time, how would the other party know if they were targeting Jiang Yan?
The couple exchanged a glance.
Both of their eyes contained an indistinct and profound meaning.
“Let’s wait and see who can’t hold back first, then we’ll know,” said Su He lightly.
In the evening.
Helian Lu came.
Seeing that Jiang Yan was unharmed and still in good spirits, he silently lit a candle for Ye Jiuqing in his heart, realizing that boy was, regrettably, destined to miss out on Su He.
“Is there something you needed?” Su He asked him directly.
Helian Lu cleared his throat and said, “Yes, yes, there is.”
“The police have confirmed the explosion was intentional.
Through surveillance, they’ve identified two suspects, but their identities are fake, untraceable…”
Before he could finish, Su He interrupted him, “I know this already, tell me something I don’t know.”
“Ah?” Helian Lu was stunned.
“How do you know this?”
He had received the news just half an hour ago.
Su He glanced at him and said indifferently, “It’s faster to investigate myself than to wait for your findings.”
Helian Lu: “…”
His contempt was plainly evident.
However, he had no comeback.
“What you don’t know is, I had a friend look into it; those two individuals are mercenaries.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Su He softly said, “I know, people from the Xuanqing Organization.”
Helian Lu: “…” Damn!
If she already knew everything, what was the point of his presence?
“So really, this matter has nothing to do with Ye, and even less to do with me, as you know, I never cause trouble,” he said, also taking the opportunity to clean both himself and Ye Jiuqing.
But Su He ignored that comment.
“There’s something I need your help with,” she stated.
Helian Lu said, “Tell me, there’s nothing here I can’t handle.”
Su He looked over to the man in the hospital bed and said seriously, “Include him among the casualty list for this explosion.”
Helian Lu’s eyes widened, “What?
Are you kidding me?”
“I’m very serious.”
“What exactly are you playing at?”
He couldn’t comprehend her line of thinking.
“Alright, just follow through.
Remember, don’t let others find out.
Keep it a secret,” Su He instructed.
This task would be easiest for him to handle given his status; all it needed was a word to the police.
There was no reason not to make use of such resources if they were freely available.
Soon, the news that Jiang Yan had been grievously injured and died overseas reached the domestic sphere.
And it dominated the headlines of all national channels.
Back at home, in the Jiang Family Mansion.
Old Madam had just finished eating when she saw the news.
At that time, Jiang Qi also arrived at the mansion as ordered.
In the study.
Old Madam sat in the chair, her expression stern, fixing Jiang Qi with her gaze, “Tell me, what’s going on?”
She didn’t believe that her grandson would be in trouble, and the sudden appearance of Jiang Qi, her grandson’s right-hand man, clearly meant the situation was not so simple.
She might be old, but she was not muddled.
Jiang Qi said, “Old Madam, please don’t worry.
Young Madam and Master sent me to inform you.
Currently, Young Madam, Master, and the young master are all in the Y country.
Master is fine; he just suffered some injuries and might need to rest there for a few days.”
Old Madam’s white eyebrows furrowed slightly, “Was it an accident, or was it deliberate?
Why did they go to Y country?”
Jiang Qi answered every sharp question from Old Madam.
“…”
Half an hour later.
The housekeeper knocked on the door and said from outside, “Old Madam, the eldest young master’s family has arrived.”
“I know, let them wait,” said Zhong Min.
Then she turned to Jiang Qi, “You wait here until they leave, then you can go back.”
Jiang Qi nodded, “Yes, Old Madam.”
Before Zhong Min came downstairs, she heard someone crying and making a scene downstairs.
Cheng Wan sat on the sofa with her face half-covered, sobbing, “Ah Yan, that child, is truly pitiful.”
As Zhong Min came down, she caught such a sentence and her face darkened instantly.
“If you want to cry, go back to your own house and cry!”
The Old Madam, resolute as a bell, rebuked loudly.
Cheng Wan was startled, abruptly closing her mouth.
The Old Madam walked steadily towards the main seat and sat down.
Although she was sixty-nine years old, she was robust and did not at all seem like a nearly seventy-year-old woman; if anything, she appeared more in her fifties.
Old Madam always maintained a graceful composure, so when she sat, her back was always straight, exuding a strong sense of authority.
Jiang Zhongzhen, a man of age, had a weathered and more haggard appearance than her.
He looked towards Old Madam and spoke, “Mom, we have all seen what happened to Ah Yan, please don’t be too heartbroken.”
Zhong Min quietly listened as he finished speaking.
“I will make arrangements for this matter, after all, he is also my nephew.”
Old Madam gazed at him steadily and asked, “Arrange what?”
Jiang Zhongzhen was slightly taken aback but quickly recovered.
“Mom, I know it’s hard for you to accept this reality, but…”
He hesitated, a look of sorrow on his face, “I didn’t wish for Ah Yan to encounter trouble either, after all, he is the only son left by my second brother.
I also know that Ah Yan was raised by you and dad from a young age, with a deep bond.
Him meeting such an incident isn’t something we wished to see either.”
“But since it has happened, we can only accept…”
Old Madam interrupted him.
“Accept what?
Just because the news reported it and said my Ah Yan is dead, does that mean he is?
I want to see the living, or the body if he’s dead.
Until I’ve seen with my own eyes, I won’t believe anyone’s words!”
Old Madam spoke with assertive tone.
The Jiang Zhongzhen family: “…”
Cheng Wan was the kind of person who couldn’t hold back her words, “Mom, even authoritative media has reported it, surely they can’t be spreading false information?”
Madam’s gaze swept over her coldly, and though Cheng Wan wanted to continue speaking, she choked back her words.
Zhong Min was not some ignorant housewife; in her youth, she was also a decisive and strong career woman.
Everyone in the Jiang family feared her.
Naturally, Cheng Wan was no exception.
“Come on, tell this old madam, why couldn’t it be false information?” Old Madam’s eyes narrowed slightly, and in a cold voice, she asked, “What?
Are you so eager for my Ah Yan to die?”
Cheng Wan instantly felt a chill run down her spine, her scalp tingling.
Her voice trembled as she spoke, “Mom, I…
didn’t say that.”
Old Madam scoffed coldly, “That’s what you seem to think!”
Cheng Wan’s face stiffened, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak any further.
Jiang Zhongzhen gave her an indifferent cold glance.
Good for nothing but trouble!
“Mom, the news said, Ah Yan and others were killed in a restaurant in a hotel, there was an explosion, and the police have also confirmed the identities.”
As he spoke, he took out his phone, showing the list on it to her: “Look, here’s Ah Yan’s name, and I verified it before coming here.”
Zhong Min’s face instantly paled, her hand resting on the armrest began to tremble, and her eyes reddened slightly.
Jiang Chao saw this from the side and immediately stood up to comfort her, “Grandma, please don’t be agitated, your health is crucial, life and death are predestined, please maintain your composure.”
At this moment, a female voice rang out.
“What life and death are predestined, composure for what?”
“Cousin, I know my brother is much more outstanding than you, and you’re always jealous and dissatisfied with him, but you can’t be cursing my brother like this, can you?
Do you never wash that mouth of yours in three years?”
Jiang You strode in from the door.
“Uncle, how can you all be so sure that my brother is no more?
Just relying on a piece of news, you all so readily conclude that my brother is dead, where does this confidence come from?”
Jiang You stood beside Old Madam, her cold gaze sweeping over everyone.
“Jiang You, what do you mean?” Jiang Chao glared at her.
“What I mean, don’t you all understand?” Jiang You said, “My brother’s matter doesn’t require Uncle’s family’s concern, have a safe trip, no need to escort you.”
After Jiang You finished speaking, she turned to Zhong Min, “Grandma, let me help you up to rest first.”
Old Madam’s complexion was pale, and she looked somewhat dispirited.
Jiang You assisted Old Madam back to her room, leaving Jiang Zhongzhen and his family hanging in the living room.
Inside the room.
“Xiao You, your brother…”
Old Madam hadn’t finished speaking when Jiang You said, “Grandma, I know everything, my sister-in-law has already told me.
Sister-in-law is worried about you being alone at home, so she asked me to come back and stay with you.”
“Don’t worry, my brother is fine, he’s just a bit injured,” Jiang You, sitting beside her, holding Old Madam’s arm, said.
Old Madam patted her hand, “Grandma hasn’t overthought it, your brother already had Jiang Qi come and tell me.”
“Huh?” Jiang You blinked her eyes: “So that was all an act just now?”
“…”
“Young Madam, Chairman Jiang and his family have just left the mansion.” Jiang Qi stood by the window in the second-floor study, from where he could see the mansion’s main gate.
Su He: “Okay, I got it.
Just do as I said before, and don’t respond to anyone who asks.”
In the hospital room.
The little guy was holding a plate of green grapes, sitting on the bed with his legs crossed, eating with relish.
While eating, he saw Su He return and mumbled a call: “Mommy~”
Su He heard this and looked at him: “Hmm, what is it?”
The little guy lifted his little head, his big black eyes blinking: “That strange uncle with blue eyes, does he like you?
He told me that you two are a match.”
“…”
After Su Yimo finished asking, Su He’s gaze involuntarily fell on Jiang Yan.
The man’s dark pupils were calm as he looked at her, but a strange light flashed through them.
She shifted her gaze and said to Su Yimo: “He was spouting nonsense to you, we are completely platonic.”
She didn’t know whether she was answering Su Yimo’s question or explaining it to Jiang Yan, anyway, she said it.
After speaking, she reached out and took the fruit plate from his arms.
“Mommy, baby hasn’t finished yet.”
The little guy tried to snatch it back, but he was too short and his arms too short.
Su He said indifferently: “It’s late at night, kids shouldn’t eat so much fruit.”
Su Yimo: “…”
He looked at the man on the opposite bed and pouted his small mouth.
Jiang Yan: “Listen to your mommy.”
“…”
Seeing his food was gone, he picked up the tablet next to him and started playing.
Su He sat on a chair placed between the two hospital beds, looked at Jiang Yan, and began to speak: “Jiang Qi called me just now and said uncle went to the mansion.”
The man pursed his somewhat pale lips, not speaking.
“I had Jiang Qi check uncle’s account, and there was nothing unusual,” she continued to say.
They both suspected Jiang Zhongzhen, but currently, there was no evidence.
If he really had hired mercenaries, there would certainly be a large transaction, but when she checked the financials of Jiang Zhongzhen and his family, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
Su He took Su Yimo’s green grapes and started eating them, asking while eating: “Or, can you think of anyone else?”
Jiang Yan: “That scope is a bit broad.”
Su He raised her eyebrows: “I didn’t notice, you have quite a lot of enemies.”
The man said arrogantly: “After all, your husband is too outstanding.”
“…”
The next day.
The family of three was having breakfast when Ye Jiuqing suddenly barged in.
Most importantly, he was holding a bouquet of roses in his arms.
This scene was just too bizarre!
Su He was feeding porridge to the man, and Ye Jiuqing glanced at it, his face immediately turning ugly.
His mouth was also vicious: “What, got injured and your hands are disabled?
Need a woman to feed you porridge, are you even a man?”
Helian Lu followed him, and just as he reached the door, he heard Ye Jiuqing’s irritating voice.
Su He frowned slightly at his sarcastic words, “What are you freaking out about early in the morning?”
“If your brain isn’t working, turn right out the door, take the elevator down to the sixth floor, there’s a neurology department.”
Ye Jiuqing: “…My brain works fine!”
Helian Lu: This idiot really is!
