73: Chapter 73: The Tacit Understanding Between Husband and Wife
73 -73: The Tacit Understanding Between Husband and Wife
Jiang Group.
The man who had just finished a meeting received a short video from his dear brother.
His handsome face darkened after watching it.
His pitch-black eyes carried a touch of coldness.
He was angry that someone dared to lay hands on his people.
He pressed the intercom, calling Jiang Feng into the office.
As soon as Jiang Feng entered, it was like walking into an ice cellar, the chill making one’s limbs feel uncoordinated.
“Master.”
The man pushed his cellphone in front of him.
A cold voice rang out: “Check out who sent these people.”
Jiang Feng’s gaze fell on the phone’s screen.
Huh?
Isn’t that the Young Madam?
After watching the video for a dozen seconds, he instantly understood.
“Alright, I’ll handle it right away.”
Saying this, he turned around and quickly fled the crisis-ridden office.
The man leaned back in his chair, his well-defined, slender fingers gently tapping on the desk.
Then, he picked up the phone and made a call.
Meanwhile, after leaving the underground parking lot of the mall, Su He sent a message to Bai Yang, asking him to delete the video segment that had just occurred in the parking lot.
At that moment, her phone rang.
She glanced at it; it was from Jiang Yan.
She had never saved this man’s number, but she knew it by heart long ago.
After hesitating for a few seconds, she answered, “Hello?”
A deep and pleasant voice came from the phone: “Where are you?”
“On my way home.” Su He asked, “Why?
President Jiang isn’t so idle as to check on my whereabouts, right?”
Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled: “You’re off work?”
At this hour, she should be working at the hospital.
But instead, she ended up in the underground parking garage of the mall.
Su He responded: “My uncle felt bad that I had to work late into the night for a surgery yesterday, so he gave me the day off today.”
If she had known she had the day off, she wouldn’t have gone out.
And she wouldn’t have run into a bunch of troublesome people.
“Okay then, head home and rest early.
I’ll come back later and join you for dinner.”
Su He listened to the man’s words, her face full of question marks.
So, he called just to say this?
Before she could ask further, he hung up the phone.
She glanced at the disconnected call, “…”
She had intended to ask him about withdrawing from the hot search.
Nevermind, she would ask when she got back.
On the other side, after receiving Su He’s message, Xing Siyang immediately sent someone to rush to the Hemisphere Shopping Center.
Shortly after, the phone rang again.
This time, it was from Xing Siyang.
“Siyang.”
“Susu, I’ll take care of this.
Don’t go out alone recently,” Xing Siyang said on the other end of the phone.
He had not expected those people to act so swiftly, having already locked their sights on Su He.
He didn’t want her to get involved in this turmoil because it was a very dangerous matter.
Su He knew he was worried about her.
“Don’t worry, Siyang, I’ll be careful.”
Outside Yue City in a villa area.
A man rushed into the living room in a hurry.
“Mr.
Tian, Chui Zi and the others have been taken away by the Yue City police.”
“What happened?” Chi Tian frowned and asked.
“I’m not sure.
They were originally following that female doctor, but then they were just caught,” said the man, equally clueless about what had actually transpired.
“Bang!”
Chi Tian lifted his leg and violently kicked the nearby coffee table, scattering everything on it to the ground.
“A bunch of trash!”
“They even manage to get themselves arrested while tailing someone!”
The man shivered as he watched him vent his anger.
Chi Tian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and then called out firmly, “Zhuo Lie, come out!”
The next second, a dark figure appeared in the hall as quietly as a ghost.
The people around looked at the suddenly emerging man, somewhat frightened.
However, almost everyone knew that Mr.
Tian had a capable assistant who was nimble and elusive.
“My lord.”
The man stood next to the coffee table, bowing deeply towards Chi Tian.
He was tall and straight, about 1.8 meters, always wearing a black hat.
His features were cold, like a machine devoid of any emotion.
Chi Tian, supporting his knee with one hand and head hanging low, said, “Go, deal with those useless fools for me!”
Zhuo Lie replied expressionlessly: “Yes, my lord.”
“Also, take care of Sang Hu while you’re at it!” Chi Tian looked up, twisting his neck.
Since Xing Siyang was still at the hospital, it meant Sang Hu must still be alive.
“Yes, my lord.”
When Su He returned to Moon Gift Villa, An Mi was trimming flowers and plants in the backyard with Uncle Zhong.
She wasn’t interested in joining, gave it a glance, and went into the house.
Just as she lay down on the living room sofa, she received a message from Jiang You.
[Sister-in-law, let me stay with you for a while.]
Su He glanced at it and replied:
[Don’t you have the passcode for Pear Garden Pavilion?
You can just go straight there.
Lan Yan is currently staying there, so you’ll have company.]
Jiang You replied instantly:
[No, I want to stay at Moon Gift Villa.]
Su He was slightly taken aback.
[Then you should ask your brother, he’s the decision-maker.]
Jiang You immediately sent her a screenshot of a chat conversation with a message: [You and your husband are really in sync.]
Su He opened the picture and saw it was a conversation between Jiang You and Jiang Yan, very brief.
Jiang You had asked the same question she had but with a different appellation.
And Jiang Yan’s response was almost exactly the same as hers:
[You’ll have to ask your sister-in-law, she’s in charge.]
Su He: “…”
[Do you need help moving your stuff?]
[No need, I’m just bringing a bag and moving in tonight.
Just have Uncle Zhong prepare a room for me, wait for me yo~]
“…”
After resting for a while, she called Qing Yue over.
“Young Madam, what can I do for you?”
“Qing Yue, prepare two guest rooms,” she instructed.
She can’t always have An Mi sleeping in the same room with her; it wasn’t always convenient.
“Okay, Young Madam, I’ll take care of it.”
Qing Yue didn’t ask what it was for and obediently went to do it.
After all, the mistress of this villa was the Young Madam.
At this moment, the phone vibrated a few times again.
This message was from Xing Siyang.
Su He opened it and her pupils shrank slightly.
Those four people had died?
It had only been about an hour.
These people moved so fast and so ruthlessly.
Moreover, they were all held in the police station, yet they dared to make a move, which really surprised her.
Xing Siyang was currently at the police station, and before they could even interrogate them, they all died.
“Siyang, based on preliminary observations, everyone died of poisoning.
They had a small capsule in their mouth which they seemed to have bitten open to ingest the poison,” said Xing Siyang, his complexion turning dark.
Captain Chen patted him on the shoulder and sighed, “Don’t be too hard on yourself.
The responsibility lies with us; we failed to keep a close eye on them.”
Xing Siyang felt something was off, “Why didn’t they take the poison on the way back, but rather after they returned?”
Upon hearing this, Captain Chen frowned slightly, “You’re not suggesting we have a mole inside our department, are you?”
“If they really wanted to die, they would have taken the poison in the mall’s parking garage.
Why wait until now?
Unless they received orders after arriving here, and the poison was delivered to them later,” Xing Siyang analyzed.
Captain Chen pondered for a moment; it seemed plausible.
“But we just checked the surveillance, and there was no unknown person entering, only our own colleagues.”
Xing Siyang was silent for a moment before asking, “Who went in during that time?”
“Hold on, I’ll have someone come over.”
Captain Chen said and then turned to call out to a colleague nearby, “Xiao Wang, go get Luo Ming for me; I need to ask him something.”
Colleague Xiao Wang responded with an “Oh,” but then turned around and suddenly remembered, “Wait, Captain Chen, Luo Ming is on leave today; he didn’t come to work.”
Captain Chen asked in disbelief, “What did you say?”
“Luo Ming had some family matters today; he asked you for leave yesterday, don’t you remember?”
Chen Shen and Xing Siyang exchanged glances, “Brother, looks like your analysis was correct.”
They went to review the surveillance footage again.
“But that person in the surveillance is clearly Luo Ming, could it be fake?” asked Captain Chen, pinching his chin and frowning.
Xing Siyang likely guessed it already.
With his arms akimbo, he said, “He was in disguise.”
It was the only clear explanation.
At the entrance of the police station.
“Captain Chen, I appreciate your help with this.”
Xing Siyang was his university classmate, also graduated from the police academy, but they hadn’t seen much of each other since graduation.
“Hah, don’t talk like that.
No inconvenience at all; it’s all in the family,” said Captain Chen, putting a hand on his shoulder and, asking, “When are you coming back to work here?
You’re not planning to stay abroad forever, are you?”
Xing Siyang looked towards a distant streetlight and pondered for a moment, “I’m not sure, but now is not the time.”
Captain Chen asked with curiosity, “Hey, haven’t you become addicted to living abroad?”
Xing Siyang chuckled and gave him a playful knock on the chest, “Alright, I need to rush back to the hospital.
Keep me posted if there’s any news.”
Captain Chen released him and waved, “Go then.”
On the way back to the hospital, Xing Siyang’s mind raced with worry.
A flash of thought struck him, and he immediately pulled out his phone and dialed Lin Fei’s number.
“Lin Fei, where is Sang Hu?”
Lin Fei was standing outside the intensive care unit, “Captain Xing, he’s lying in the room, what’s wrong?”
“From now on, until I return, don’t let anyone near him, not even doctors and nurses; they might disguise themselves and go in,” Xing Siyang instructed.
“Understood,” Lin Fei affirmed.
Suddenly remembering, Lin Fei said, “But a nurse just came by a moment ago; it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”
As he finished speaking, the equipment in the room immediately started blaring an alarm.
“Damn it!” Lin Fei cursed under his breath.
He immediately opened the door and rushed in.
“Quick, call the doctor,” shouted Lin Fei.
Captain Xing frowned on the other end of the line and floored the accelerator.
The doctor arrived in haste, “Not good, the patient is having a cardiac arrest, prepare for resuscitation.”
Lin Fei was ushered out by the medical staff.
Twenty minutes.
When Captain Xing arrived at the hospital, Sang Hu had already passed away, not surviving the resuscitation.
“Captain Xing, my apologies, we were negligent.”
Captain Xing went pale with fury, punching the wall in anger.
Lin Fei continued, “Sang Hu had a sudden cardiac arrest; it might have been related to that bottle of medicine.
I’ve already sent it for examination.”
“Also, the nurse has disappeared, nowhere to be found.
Her department hasn’t seen her either.
I saw on the surveillance; she went into the fire escape and never came out again, and no suspicious figures were caught on camera.”
He reported to Xing Siyang.
Captain Xing pressed his tongue against his cheek, “Leave the search to the local police force.”
He figured that the female nurse probably couldn’t be found anymore.
“So Captain Xing, what do we do next?”
Xing Siyang hadn’t expected that in just two days, although they had captured the man, he also died within those two days.
It was like they had been busy for nothing.
The USB drive they found on Sang Hu was almost all evidence of his own crimes; it still couldn’t prove the crimes committed by those people.
“Wait for the test results to come out and then go back to report.”
“Roger that.”
…
Moon Gift Villa.
Jiang You came at six o’clock, and Jiang Nanche came too.
Su He watched as he also carried a suitcase and walked in, her eyebrows slightly raised, “You wouldn’t also be planning to live here, would you?”
Jiang Nanche smiled handsomely, his face beaming cheerfully: “Congratulations, Young Madam, you guessed right, but sadly, there’s no prize, sorry ha.”
“…” Su He was speechless.
Was this place turning into a guest house or what?
Jiang Nanche: “Jiang You said she was coming to stay with Master Five, and I thought to myself that I’ve never stayed here before.
Since Master Five allowed her, then certainly I could as well.
So I just packed up and came.
How’s that?
Surprising or not?”
Jiang You awarded him a roll of her eyes: “I came with my sister-in-law’s permission, you count as crashing.
You really have thick skin.”
Jiang Nanche retorted without showing weakness: “I may have thick skin, but it’s not as thick as your foundation, right?”
Jiang You tilted her head and glared at him, her fists clenched, “Jiang Nanche, are you asking for a beating, huh?
What do you mean by that, huh?”

Seeing the situation, Jiang Nanche quickly dodged to one side.
“Jiang You, if you have something to say, just speak nicely.
As a poised and graceful lady, don’t always resort to violence, be careful or no man will dare to marry you.”
“I enjoy being single, so what?
What’s the use of you men?
You’d only interfere with my career, nothing but a stumbling block!”
“…”
Su He helplessly raised her hand to scratch her forehead.
Three chatterboxes together, she didn’t dare think about the days to come.
An Mi had just been feeling a bit down these past few days because of Yang Jie, but she wasn’t the type to sit quietly either.
As for the two before her eyes, no need to mention; they started squabbling upon meeting.
Predictably, An Mi got along with the two clowns very quickly.
She was still young and a bit reserved, but that didn’t stop the three of them from hanging out together.
Su He sat on the side, feeling her head buzz.
Jiang Yan had just returned home and before even entering, he could hear the noise of laughter and chatter from the living room.
Such cheerful laughter had never occurred before.
The Moon Gift Villa was always in a state of subdued quietness; there had never been such active scenes.
“Uncle Zhong, who’s inside?” Jiang Yan asked the nearby Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong’s face was also filled with a smile, “It’s the young miss, Miss An Mi, and Master Nanche.”
The three of them were sitting in the living room, engrossed in playing a game.
Caught in the excitement, the corners of their eyes suddenly caught a tall figure, and they simultaneously turned to look.
At that moment, it was as though a pause button was pressed, and the world quieted down.
Hearing the silence, Su He shifted her gaze from the phone and looked up.
She snickered, “So, there is someone you all are afraid of.”
Jiang Yan hadn’t said anything yet, and these three were already like this.
Jiang Nanche greeted with a silly smile: “Hehe, Five, you’re back.”
Jiang You put on a cute and adorable smile, “Hehe, brother, welcome home.”
An Mi blinked and smiled sweetly, politely calling out: “Brother-in-law.”
Hearing the words “brother-in-law,” the man’s austere face softened a bit.
He responded with a faint “Mhm” and said nothing more.
His gaze met Su He’s, as their eyes collided.
His lips parted slightly: “Susu, come with me to the study for a bit, I have something to say to you.”
Saying this, he led the way upstairs.
Su He quickly followed.
The living room trio simultaneously watched, their gazes following their figures until they disappeared.
Jiang You muttered, “What are they going to talk about?”
Jiang Nanche suggested slyly, “Shall we go up and listen?”
An Mi was a good child, “Isn’t that inappropriate?”
