Chapter 437: Pushed Aside
The small rain enveloped the entire city in a hazy atmosphere. The dusk was dark and serene, and a gust of cold wind blew against their faces.
Previously, when he heard Jiang Xuecheng mention the charity organization CIK of Dong Chen Country, Tang Yifeng’s eyes narrowed as he asked Jiang Xuecheng.
“Xuecheng, don’t you feel that this matter is very unusual?”
Su Wan was stunned when she heard that. Wasn’t Tang Yifeng saying nonsense?!
Setting aside S City, who in Jiuzhou would be so bold as to want to become enemies with the Jiang family?
Moreover, he even picked the 70th birthday of senior master Jiang to make a move. How arrogant!
A faint light flashed across Jiang Xuecheng’s deep eyes. He tightened his grip on the handle of the umbrella and raised his gaze slightly, staring at Tang Yifeng’s face without blinking.
“Yifeng, just tell me what you think.”
Tang Yifeng’s handsome face turned solemn. He frowned and said softly.
“I’m just guessing. Most people wouldn’t dare to make a move against your Jiang family. From the looks of it, the other party doesn’t seem to be here for money. Has the old man ever made any enemies in the political world?”
It was said that a tall tree attracts the wind, but if the wind wasn’t strong enough, how could it shake the tall tree that had long taken root in the depths of the earth?
Su Wan stood beside Jiang Xuecheng. When Tang Yifeng’s words fell into her ears, her entire body quivered slightly.
Su Wan didn’t have any deep understanding of the political world, but she also knew that it was deep waters, and they were constantly fighting each other. Those who didn’t have a high rank would definitely end up in a miserable state.
According to Su Wan’s shallow understanding, senior master Jiang’s reputation in Jiuzhou had always been good. Moreover, when he was a young man he had often complied to others. How could he have so many enemies?
In addition, the Jiang family was now looking at the business world. The new generation of disciples, such as Jiang Haoxuan and Jiang Xuecheng, were not involved in politics at all. They were focused on strengthening Di Chen’s career.
If there was really someone who wanted to display their power and ambition in Jiuzhou, why would they make enemies with the Jiang family?
This didn’t make sense at all!
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Tang Yifeng’s question, he took a shallow breath and then shook his head.
“As far as I know, he has not.”
“That’s strange…”
Tang Yifeng’s eyes slightly widened. He glanced at Jiang Xuecheng’s noble and handsome face and frowned as he thought about the previous question.
When he remembered that Jiang Xuecheng had just mentioned CIK, Tang Yifeng came up with an even more curious idea.
“Xuecheng, didn’t you just mention CIK? Wouldn’t it be the people of Jiuzhou who are targeting you?”
Tang Yifeng paused, frowned, and continued to crack his brain.
“After all, senior master Jiang has a high position and power, so he must know a lot of things. Think about it carefully, is it possible for others to covet him in this aspect? I heard that the military equipment of Jiuzhou have been continuously strengthened over the years…”
Jiang Zhiyuan’s honorary position happened to be in the military world…
Jiang Xuecheng’s phoenix-like eyes flashed. His dark eyes were like a deep lake, where the slightest ripple can’t be seen on the surface.
“It’s not impossible. Grandfather is not at home all year round…”
When Su Wan heard the topic that Jiang Xuecheng and Tang Yifeng were talking about, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath to calm herself down.
Why did it sound like this matter was getting more and more serious?
At first, she thought it was a personal grudge, but now that she heard it, she felt like it was going to involve some secret information that ordinary people couldn’t possibly know…
Tang Yifeng met Jiang Xuecheng’s indifferent and reserved eyes. There seemed to be an invisible vortex in those deep eyes that could swallow a person at any time.
Tang Yifeng was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously looked away and glanced at the tombstone not far away that was eroded by the rain.
“Don’t you usually know what senior master Jiang does? He should know more about the cause of this incident than you do, right? Has he say anything to you?”
After Tang Yifeng asked this series of questions, Jiang Xuecheng’s face showed a trace of fatigue. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows and sighed.
“He didn’t say anything. If it’s really about that kind of secret matter, we definitely can’t ask him. He has already left the shooting case to me to handle.”
“He left it to you to handle without saying anything?”
Tang Yifeng was flabbergasted and curled his lips in disappointment. The Jiang family’s senior master was too irresponsible. This matter more or less concerned the Jiang family’s safety.
The Jiang family’s senior master also had a big heart…
“Yeah, that’s why I’m having a headache right now. I hope that we can find out the culprit behind this as soon as possible.”
Jiang Xuecheng shook his head lightly. His eyes were looking at the distant mountains that were faintly visible outside of the cemetery. His entire person was emitting a cold and thin air.
Tang Yifeng glanced at Jiang Xuecheng sympathetically.
“Brother, then do your best to investigate. If there’s anything I can help with, just come and ask me.”
He walked up slightly and extended his hand to pat Jiang Xuecheng’s shoulder.
“It’s getting late. I’ll go back first. Do you two want to go together?”
Su Wan looked at the small rain in the sky and nodded with a smile. “It’s time to go back.”
…
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng shared an umbrella and slowly walked out of the Beiling Cemetery.
On the way, Jiang Xuecheng asked Tang Yifeng where he bought the bouquet of lilies. Tang Yifeng pointed to a flower shop in the distance and drove the Porsche to leave first.
“Why do you suddenly want to buy flowers?”
Su Wan pushed open the door of the flower shop and asked Jiang Xuecheng in surprise.
“The white perfume lilies that I bought at home have withered. I want to change the color of the bouquet to a more elegant one.”
Su Wan and Jiang Xuecheng walked into the shop. The enthusiastic lady boss quickly came up to them. After asking Su Wan for a favor, she quickly tied up a big bouquet of beautiful white lilies for them.
The starry sky served as a foil, making the lilies look even more beautiful and charming.
Just as Su Wan was holding the white lilies to bid farewell to the shop owner, she realized that the man next to her seemed to be very interested in this flower shop. He kept looking at the flowers placed around him.
Su Wan was startled, thinking of the flower shop outside of Zhao Hua Hospital. Because Jiang Xuecheng was angry, he forced her to buy a bunch of flowers!
The Living Room, corridor, study, bedroom, and even the kitchen were all filled with flowers!
He wouldn’t want to repeat the same trick, would he?
Of course, the lady boss didn’t mind Jiang Xuecheng looking at her more. She smiled and said, “Sir, do you want any more flowers? Our shop has all kinds of flowers.”
Jiang Xuecheng ignored the lady boss’s words. He squatted down. He gently stroked a bunch of white daisies. The daisies trembled and looked very pitiful.
The lady boss could not help but feel a little embarrassed as she was pushed aside. She could only fling her hands helplessly and did not know what to say.
Su Wan knew that Jiang Xuecheng was like this, so she could only smile apologetically at the lady boss.
Just as Su Wan was about to call out to Jiang Xuecheng, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly stood up. He glanced at the white lilies that had already been tied up in Su Wan’s hands and opened his mouth slightly
“Wan Wan, since we’ve gotten the flowers, let’s go.”
Su Wan didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that Jiang Xuecheng’s face was colder than before.
