The people behind him stepped forward and escorted Elder Jiang and Jiang Guoqiang out. Despite Elder Jiang struggling and cursing along the way, the expression on the face of the person who was holding him didn’t change at all.
The Jiang family seemed to have collapsed overnight.
It couldn’t be said that they had collapsed, but it was Elder Jiang and Jiang Guoqiang who had been taken away by the higher-ups for investigation. Once the news was out, those who had been watching and didn’t know who to support suddenly made a decision. Those who had originally stood on the side of the Jiang family and supported the Jiang family had also turned to other people’s camp.
Although the crimes of Elder Jiang and Jiang Guoqiang hadn’t been announced yet, the news of them being taken away had been spread across the country.
Everyone knew that the Jiang family was going to be finished this time.
During two days, wherever Qu Yaotian went, there would be people congratulating him.
The election was not over yet, and everyone seemed to already know the result. This made Qu Yaotian feel uncomfortable.

“Lass, I say that Yuwen Jing’s injuries should be almost healed, right? When is he going back?” Elder Liu, who was playing chess with Elder Qu, looked at Chen Meng’er who was making tea for them and could not help but ask.
“Yuwen Jing is still staying here? That won’t do. Tell him to go back quickly.” Elder Qu was not calm when he heard that Yuwen Jing had not gone back yet and was still staying with the Green Gang. He could not care about the outcome of the game anymore.
“His injuries are almost healed. I reckon he will go back in two days.” Chen Meng’er did not expect that these two elders would actually change the topic when they were playing chess. She had chased Yuwen Jing away several times, but this time, Yuwen Jing’s skin had thickened. No matter how hard she tried to chase him away, Yuwen Jing was not willing to leave. He said that it was too troublesome to change the medicine every day. He might as well stay here and wait for his injuries to heal.
In these two days, Yuwen Jing had even asked Baro and Allen to move all his documents over. Chen Meng’er’s pharmacy had now become Yuwen Jing’s office. However, Chen Meng’er had no other choice.
“Yes, tell him to hurry up. The Green Gang doesn’t house random people,” Elder Liu said with a snort.
If her grandfather’s words were heard by Yuwen Jing, he would definitely say without a second thought, “I’m not some random person. I’m now Meng’er’s boyfriend.”
Ever since that night, Yuwen Jing had always thought of himself as Chen Meng’er’s boyfriend. It was useless whenever Chen Meng’er tried to correct him.
As time went by, Chen Meng’er was too lazy to correct him. Now that she was actually listening, she was also used to it.
“Sir, Elder Qu, there’s someone outside who wants to see you.” Just as the two old men were holding on to this topic, someone from the Green Gang came in to pass on the message.
“Who wants to see the two of us?” Elder Qu and Elder Liu looked at each other in confusion.
“They said that they were sent by the higher-ups.”
“Higher-ups? The higher-ups?” At this moment, Elder Qu and Elder Liu were even more confused. “Let him in.”
“Yes.” After the person left, Elder Liu couldn’t help but look at Elder Qu and said, “Old Qu, did you do something illegal?”
“Bullsh*t, who am I? Why would I do such a thing?” Elder Qu became anxious, and these curses came out. “The other party came to look for the two of us. If I’ve done something illegal, then you won’t be able to escape.”
“Grandpas, aren’t the two of you tired? Aren’t you thirsty? Stop worrying about why the other party came to look for you. You’ll know when he comes in.” Chen Meng’er was very depressed. These two people didn’t stop talking. It was better for her to go back and take an afternoon nap.
“Sir, Elder Qu, the person is here.”
“Yes. Got It.”
“Elder Liu, Elder Qu.” The person’s attitude was quite good. He greeted Elder Qu and Elder Liu.
“Xiao Liu, it’s you. Ha! I told you that I was fine. I didn’t do those terrible things. Why would the higher-ups look for me?” When Elder Qu saw that it was an acquaintance, he heaved a heavy sigh of relief. He didn’t forget to look at Elder Liu with a roll of his eyes.
“Yes, Elder Qu, it’s me.” The person named Xiao Liu expressed in his heart that he didn’t want to make this trip either. However, their bureau chief knew that he was familiar with Elder Qu, so he gave him this difficult task.
“Right, why did you come here to find the two of us today?” Elder Qu asked.
“I would like to ask you two to come with me,” Xiao Liu said.
After Xiao Liu finished speaking, Chen Meng’er and the others’ expressions changed.
“What do you mean by that? What crime did the two of us commit? Why do you want us to come with you?” Elder Qu suddenly jumped up.
With Elder Qu’s jump, Xiao Liu realized that he seemed to have said something wrong. “I’m sorry. I think I said something wrong. It’s not that you two have committed a crime, but it’s about Elder Jiang. He said that he wanted to see the two of you before he was willing to confess. Otherwise, he would keep his mouth shut and refuse to speak. You also know that Elder Jiang is an old fox. If he doesn’t speak, we won’t be able to do anything to him.” Xiao Liu was so worried that his entire face wrinkled up.
“Is that so? Kid, you should have said that clearly earlier. Look at how scared we were.” Elder Qu let out a sigh of relief.
“Didn’t you already get hold of the evidence against Elder Jiang?” Chen Meng’er asked.
“Yes, but we still need him to personally sign a confession. So, we’ll have to trouble the two elders,” Xiao Liu said.
“It’s fine. Let us make a trip. Elder Jiang wants to see us, and we also want to see him. Speaking of which, we can be considered old comrades for many years.” Thinking of the past, Elder Qu and Elder Liu couldn’t help but sigh.
They had never thought that Elder Jiang would go this far. “Let’s go. It’s just right. I also want to ask him some questions.” Elder Liu was just as emotional as Elder Qu.
Originally, Xiao Liu thought that he would need to spend a lot of effort to get these two elders to agree. However, he didn’t expect that these two elders would actually agree the moment he opened his mouth.
