Chapter 432: The Most Difficult Thing In The World To Defy
The person who disrupted Jiang Zhiyuan’s birthday banquet…
When Jiang Xuecheng heard this, a cold glint flashed across his eyes. His slender hand gently stroked the strands of hair on Su Wan’s forehead.
“We don’t know yet. Grandfather has already sent people to investigate. Dynasty Hotel has long been sealed off. However, the surveillance footage from before was destroyed by someone. The other party clearly came prepared.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s deep voice entered her ears. Su Wan was startled. She recalled the scene at the birthday banquet today and spoke hesitantly.
“Xuecheng, don’t you think the other party is very familiar with the Jiang family’s birthday banquet? Moreover, their goal is clear. They only wanted to kidnap Grandfather and have no intention of killing him.”
If the other party only wanted to kill, they could have succeeded. There was no need for them to go through so much trouble.
But why did he want to kidnap Jiang Zhiyuan?
When Jiang Zhiyuan confronted the criminal, he tried to pay double the money to bribe the other party into letting him go, but the criminal said it was not for the money.
Jiang Xuecheng put his hands on Su Wan’s shoulders, his voice as calm as the lake, and said.
“During this incident, there must be a mole in the Jiang family who provided information. As for why the other party kidnapped Grandfather, they left a lot of clues. We can slowly investigate.”
The senior master’s birthday banquet caused major reactions. The security of the entire S City had been greatly increased.
Not only were the media and ordinary netizens paying attention to it, but it also caused waves in the political world!
Therefore, no matter the cost, they had to find out the truth about this matter.
If Jiang Xuecheng’s guess was correct, the other party’s motive for kidnapping Jiang Zhiyuan was probably not as simple as a normal kidnapping case.
Who was Jiang Zhiyuan?
He used to be a powerful figure in Jiuzhou. Now, although he only held an honorary position in Jiuzhou, his influence was still not to be underestimated!
Because Jiang Zhiyuan and Jiang Wei were always elusive, Jiang Xuecheng had already vaguely guessed that the senior master and his father most likely still had one foot in the ground and were involved in some kind of activity.
The water in the political world was far deeper than the business world. From the beginning, Jiang Xuecheng had never thought of getting involved in this kind of thing.
Unfortunately, there were some things that you couldn’t get away from just because you wanted to.
Su Wan’s grandmother just happened to be the most innocent victim.
Jiang Xuecheng looked at Su Wan with a trace of guilt in his eyes. In this matter, the Jiang family was ultimately ashamed to face the Xie family.
Su Wan was nestled in Jiang Xuecheng’s arms. She listened to Jiang Xuecheng’s words quietly and could not help but shiver.
“A mole? Then no matter what we do, won’t the other party know about it?”
The enemy was in the dark and they were in the light. They still didn’t know the other party’s identity. Just thinking about it made Su Wan’s hair stand.
Jiang Xuecheng nodded indifferently. He slowly stood up and walked to the window, looking at the hazy night outside.
“Things aren’t that bad. The other party was too impatient this time. It’s inevitable that they would leave some clues behind.”
Jiang Xuecheng’s eyes darkened. He felt that ever since the assassination at the end of March, things had become more and more difficult to control.
Although it was just a hunch, Jiang Xuecheng secretly felt that the birthday banquet this time was the work of the same person.
That person’s name seemed to be Mr. Chen?
Jiang Xuecheng clenched his fists. It seemed that the day he found out about this person’s true identity was not far away.
Jiang Xuecheng turned around and whispered to Su Wan, “Wan Wan, it’s getting late. Let’s go to bed early.”
…
The next day, when Su Wan woke up, there was no one by her side. She rubbed her eyes, which were still slightly stinging, and saw that it was already raining outside the window.
Su Wan put on her clothes and got up, but she was not in a hurry to wash up. Instead, she began to search through the photos in the cabinet. Soon, she found the album she wanted.
The album was beautifully framed, but there were slight wrinkles on the outer edge. The cover page was also a little yellow. It was obviously from many years ago.
Su Wan’s pale lips trembled slightly. She reached out and opened the album.
This was what she had found in her room the last time she took back the ownership of Jing Yuan.
She finally transferred the ownership of Jing Yuan to Su Heng, but she did not touch anything inside. She only took this album.
This album was rather thick and heavy. It could be considered a record of Su Wan’s growth, from a baby to a young girl, all the way until three years ago.
There were many photos of Su Wan’s parents with her grandparents. Su Wan looked at her grandmother when she was younger and her eyes could not help but redden.
Su Wan’s parents, Su Jianyan and Xie Lan, were in their prime. Xie Lan held her in her arms like a glutinous rice ball and smiled gently and sweetly.
Father, mother, grandmother…
They had all left her one by one, leaving her alone in this world…
The most difficult thing in the world to defy is death and parting. You don’t even have the chance to say goodbye before you are brutally told the truth.
Su Wan’s thin shoulders trembled slightly. She stretched out her slender fingers and traced Lin Xuan’s face bit by bit.
She had let grandmother down…
Jiang Xuecheng pushed open the door and entered. He thought that Su Wan hadn’t gotten up yet, but when he turned his head, he suddenly found Su Wan standing by the window sill, looking down at a photo album.
The window was half open, and a light drizzle fell in, making the slender figure seem even thinner.
Jiang Xuecheng pursed his lips, and a slight sigh escaped from his lips.
He walked over quickly. Su Wan was engrossed in looking at the photo album when she suddenly felt a dark shadow coming down from above, blocking out the light.
Su Wan froze, and only then did she realize that Jiang Xuecheng was standing beside her.
“Xuecheng.”
When Jiang Xuecheng saw Su Wan’s weak and pale appearance, he was somewhat dissatisfied with how she did not cherish her body.
He took a step forward and closed the window completely. He said coldly, “Is it fun for you to get caught in the rain?”
Because of Lin Xuan’s death, Su Wan was already mentally and physically exhausted. If she were to get caught in more rain, she was afraid that she would fall ill.
After being reprimanded lightly by Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan knew she was in the wrong. She lowered her head silently like a child who had done something wrong.
Jiang Xuecheng frowned. He reached out his big hand and snatched the photo album from Su Wan’s hand. Su Wan immediately raised her head and wanted to take her album back, but she suddenly heard Jiang Xuecheng say.
“Wan Wan, go wash up first. We’ll go to Zhaohua hospital after breakfast. We still have a lot of things to do today.”
It was too late yesterday, and Xie Changfeng was stubborn and did not want to leave, so Lin Xuan’s body hadn’t been taken care of for the time being. He believed that after a night, Xie Changfeng should have thought things through.
The plot in the Beiling cemetery had been bought long ago. Lin Xuan would be cremated, and then a memorial service and burial ceremony would be held.
The relatives of the Lin family and the Xie family had already been contacted. As long as Xie Changfeng agreed, they could choose an auspicious day to bury Lin Xuan.
Hearing this, Su Wan immediately nodded. Her grandfather must have suffered a greater blow than her, and she hoped that he could get over it as soon as possible.
