Only by protecting Zhong Qianqian would they be able to get the forces behind her to rescue Zhong Kuijun and Jiang Hanlin.
“However, now Zhong Nuannuan seems to know something. From what she said, I feel like she knows that she’s Pu Yu’s daughter and that you’re not related to her by blood.
“If one day, Qianqian finally finds the family who will back her up through blood, sweat, and tears, will Zhong Nuannuan be like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?”
Grandma Jiang’s concern was the same as Jiang Shuwan and Xie Congrong’s concerns.
That was because they agreed that it was highly possible too.
After a momentary silence, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Shuwan exclaimed at the same time.
“Kill her!”
After that, they turned to look at Xie Congrong simultaneously.
“Congrong, we put this matter in your hands.”
“Why… why me?” Xie Congrong resisted instinctively.
“That’s because if it weren’t for Zhong Nuannuan, Hongyi and Hongyang wouldn’t have been arrested. She brought harm to two of your sons. Shouldn’t you avenge them? Didn’t you just threaten to hack her into pieces just now?”
Grandma Jiang only had two children. Now that something happened to Jiang Hanlin, she would not wish to spend the rest of her life uncared for. Therefore, when it came to something like this, she pushed Xie Congrong to the front without thinking, letting her take charge.
Although Xie Congrong was extremely dissatisfied with the arrangement internally, she was equally helpless as she was also someone who needed to reply on the Jiang family to live. She could only take a long way around the topic.
“I do want to chop her into a million pieces since she sent Hongyang and Hongyi to jail, but… Don’t forget, if it wasn’t for Gu Mingzhe’s help last time; if Qianqian didn’t leave some of it to Xue Miqi, Qianqian mightn’t have come out of this. There’s also Ou Mingxi and Deputy Governor Ou Chenghe. Their methods are definitely much more brilliant than ours, but even Ou Mingxi couldn’t kill her. After that attempt, not only did they fail, they presented themselves to prison life. Even Ou Chenghe’s old scandals got dug out by Chi Yang, throwing away their bright future.
“If you want me to find someone to kill her, do you think I have the ability to find someone better than Qianqian and the rest? Someone more powerful than Ou Mingxi? I don’t want us to lose our freedom instead of killing her.”
Jiang Shuwan said annoyedly, “What should we do then? If we don’t give it a try, that bitch Zhong Nuannuan may rob Qianqian of her status after Qianqian finds her grandfather. None of us will benefit from that!”
“Yet, that’s still better than me getting someone to kill her and then receive a backlash from her, right? Plus, she’s only disowned you and Zhong Kuijun for now. She’s not at the point where she wants your lives. However, if she finds out that I’m the one who orders her murder and she apprehends me… When she finds out that you are behind it, she won’t let any of you off.”
Grandma Jiang was so angry that she almost had a heart attack.
“Then, why must you let her know that we’re related to this? If you get sent to prison, we will naturally rescue you…”
“Mom!” Xie Congrong was also fuming. “It’s nice to say that you’ll save me. Right now, you want to depend on Qianqian to rescue Hanlin, save Zhong Kuijun, rescue Hongyang, and save Hongyi. Four from my family are already in prison. If I join them, that makes the five of us. Furthermore, our crimes aren’t the minor kind.
“No matter how powerful Qianqian is, she can’t possibly save five people at once, right?”
