Chapter 106: Xiao San's Storm

  "Dad! Mom! This joke can't be taken lightly!" Jiang Hui's heart was racing, "Although my sister hasn't experienced any emotional ups and downs, she would never become the third person in someone else's family! Yan Yan has always been straightforward since childhood, her eyes couldn't tolerate even a speck of dust. She detests women who destroy other people's families to the extreme. How could she possibly do such a thing? Is it... have you guys made a mistake?"

  Jiang Hu said this, a pair of eyes staring tightly at the expressions of her father and mother, hoping to see the puzzled feeling in her heart. Unfortunately, her mother was still sorrowful, while her father's face became increasingly solemn.

  Seeing her parents didn't respond to her question, Jiang Huai's heart suddenly felt a pang of disappointment. Holding the child, with an unpleasant expression, she sat on the sofa: "Dad and mom... how did you know?"

  Old Jiang remained silent, while his wife sat next to their eldest daughter, Jiang Hui. She took a deep breath and said sorrowfully: "The day before yesterday, your younger sister came back very late. Your father and I saw from the window that there was a man sending her home. When we asked her about it, she said he was just an ordinary friend. But... alas, your father and I were young once too. We can tell whether someone is more than just friends with one glance at their eyes. When she went to take a bath, your father and I couldn't calm down for a long time, so we checked her phone call records. There was a number that called her very affectionately. The last digit of this number was 888. We thought that generally, young people wouldn't be able to afford such a good phone number unless they came from a wealthy family. So yesterday, your father asked someone to investigate this number... and found out that the owner of this number is a man in his forties..."

  Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan's heart skipped a beat, but she still tried to make excuses for her sister: "Maybe... that nickname is just someone's alias... maybe you're overthinking it, Dad and Mom?"

  "Is there anyone whose nickname is 'Little Rascal'?" At this time, Old Jiang, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke out in a cold tone that could freeze ice.

  Little rascal?!!

  Jiang Hui's last shred of luck in her heart was also shattered. These days, not many people would give themselves the nickname or alias "Little Rascal", even if you wanted to, no one would be willing to call you that, right? It's obviously a term of endearment between lovers.

  After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Huan gradually calmed down. She was older than Jiang Yan and had married Wu Jinrong, a high-ranking secretary, so she had become more mature due to her environment and life experiences. Soon, her tone slightly calm, she said: "The account holder of that number is a man in his 40s, are you sure you didn't make a mistake, Dad and Mom?"

  Jiang's mother smiled wryly: "We've verified and re-verified the evidence at least three times."

  "Who... who is this person, what's his name?" Jiang Huai's eyebrows slightly furrowed.

  "Jian Rong." These three words, from Old Jiang's mouth, came out with a pause, very heavy.

  "Is Jian Rong?"

  Jiang Hui paused slightly when she heard the name, and then blinked her eyes a few times, pondering: "This name... sounds so familiar... is it someone from our old hospital or Yanyan's workplace?"

  "Neither is."

  Lao Jiang coldly waved his hand, a hint of fatigue and indignation flashing in his eyes: "It's Luo Shi Group's Chairman, Su Jianrong!"

  "What?!!"

  Jiang Hu heard her old man say this and almost dropped her jaw in shock, with an expression of utter disbelief.

  The chairman of the Luo Group, Lu Jianrong! That's a big name in Zhenzhou City!! Over the years, the economy has developed rapidly with the support of various enterprises under the Luo Group!! In the past year, the most important project in Zhenzhou City is the development of Ye Shi Street into a commercial street, Wangjiao Plaza, which was taken over by the Luo Group's big hand!

  Lao Jiang is a veteran cadre in the officialdom of Zongzhou City, with extensive connections and never speaks rashly. When Jiang Hui heard this answer from her father's mouth, her face turned even paler, and her heart was racing wildly. She finally understood why her parents' mood had been so heavy lately. If it were an ordinary person, or even someone with a slightly better family background, they could have easily used Lao Jiang's connections and current position to deal with this matter severely.

  But if this man who has a relationship with Yanyan is Luo Jianrong of the Luo's Group, then it would be extremely troublesome!!

  Zhengzhou City, anyone who cares about the actual situation will know that Luo Jianrong of the Luo Group and Municipal Party Secretary Li are relatives. The Luo Group is also a leading enterprise in Zhengzhou City. If the development of Night Market Street is successful this time, and the commercial Wangjiao Plaza's plan to attract investment is successfully completed, then the status of the Luo Group will be further elevated, and it will become one of the leading enterprises in Jiangnan Province.

  To put it simply, Su Jianrong's social status far exceeded Lao Jiang's expectations.

  It's all over, it's all over...

  Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes, and he, who hadn't touched a cigarette in ages, also fished out a cigarette someone had given him from the study. He pulled one out of the pack, lit it up, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled, letting the thick smoke drift lazily upwards.

  Yesterday, Lao Jiang had someone specifically investigate and when it was finally confirmed that the account holder of that string of numbers was Luo Shi Group's Chairman Su Jianrong, he has been keeping a straight face ever since and hasn't smiled until now.

  Actually...the most wronged person in this whole thing is really Jian Rong.

  To know, Lorrain had just turned eighteen not long ago. His mobile phone number was registered two years ago when he didn't have an ID card yet. To register a mobile phone number, one needs to use their ID for real-name registration. When Su Jianrong got the number for his son, of course, he used his own ID to register it directly. Later on, as business got busier and he was often away from home, amidst all the hustle and bustle, he forgot about transferring the registered phone number to Lorrain's name.

  So, the mobile phone number Lorraine is using now still shows her father, Su Jianrong, as the account holder.

  The account holder is indeed Kai Jianrong, but it's a misunderstanding, and a big one at that.

  If Lorraine finds out about this, it's really unclear whether she'll cry or laugh.

  "Dad, Mom, don't think too much about it now, calm down. When Yanyan comes back, we'll have a good talk with her and ask her clearly." At this time, the atmosphere in the whole house was very depressing, Jiang Hui, as the eldest daughter, naturally comforted them with great care.

  "Hmm..."

  At this time, Lao Jiang, who had lit a cigarette and was slowly dissipating his anger, finally took a deep breath. His already somewhat aged appearance now looked even more exhausted. He waved his hand: "It won't do, your sister's temper is too violent. The other day, she ran out for an entire night because of the blind date... Let me say, this matter can only be handled by starting with the man... If that Su Jianrong is really a decent person, he should be someone who understands reason. I'll personally invite him out to talk."

  As soon as they heard this, Jiang Huan and Jiang's mother were both stunned: "What, personally find him to talk?"

  Lao Jiang nodded heavily: "Yes, personally, it's just me and him."

  …………

  One o'clock in the afternoon.

  Caesar Palace somehow obtained a very important message: the Criminal Police Brigade was going to blockade Caesar Palace and then arrest Old Money Qian!

  Qian Baiwan was sleeping in the luxurious guest room opposite the office rest room, but was woken up by a phone call with this news.

  "Damn it, a whole night without sleep, is this guy trying to drive me crazy?!"

  He hung up the phone, Qian Baiwan muttered to himself, furrowed his brow and got up. He couldn't figure it out, had he been too unlucky these past two days? How come one unfortunate thing followed another? Wasn't the news that the Criminal Police Brigade was going to arrest him a mistake?!

  He sat up, rubbed his temples and shook off the dizziness, slightly more awake now, but his face involuntarily turned solemn.

  He seems to have sensed... this series of events, it wouldn't be a carefully planned scheme, would it?

  But shouldn't the police have some evidence and a reason to arrest me? The underground casino was well hidden during the day, and they didn't even offer any entertainment services. What is this police team thinking? Are they just coming to bother me for fun or trying to give themselves an easy win?

  He felt like his brain was about to be emptied, and his own son had thrown out a tip-off, letting the anti-vice squad come and catch him. This matter was already suspicious enough. He was very tired and was preparing to sleep for a while before thoroughly interrogating that unfilial son of his, but unexpectedly, at this critical moment, he himself became the object of the police's arrest. What bad luck, what ill fortune!

  Cursing to himself, Qian Baiwan put on his clothes and left the room for the office lounge. Too tired, he hadn't even opened the accounts handed over by Fei Ying. He casually flipped through them from the drawer, not daring to look too long, then hastily picked up these documents that were enough to convict himself, came to a lush potted plant, skillfully pushed open the hidden compartment, opened the safe, and with a swift motion threw the documents inside. But... just as he was about to close the safe door, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

  Huh?...

  Qian Baiwan took another careful look inside the safe, and in an instant, his face turned pale!!!!!

  Where is the account file?!

  Qian Baiwan immediately knelt down and frantically rummaged through the safe, as if trying to find those missing documents in every nook and cranny. Unfortunately, except for the financial statements he had just thrown in, the safe was almost empty. The more he searched, the more anxious he became, almost to the point of stuffing his own plump body into the safe!

  It can't be...the safe has been stolen!!!!!!!

  These words fiercely jumped in Qian Baiwan's mind, he felt the sky spinning and the earth turning upside down. Originally having a bit of high blood pressure, he almost fainted!!!

  Linked with these coincidences and ominous events, Qian Baiwan suddenly woke up and realized:

  Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! I've been schemed against!!!!!
