“Even if Zhong Qianqian could get us all out, I’ll be the last one on her list. To put it bluntly, since Zhong Kuijun had already spoken all the nasty things before he was arrested, I’ll also put out the nasty truth here. If you want me to find someone to kill her, I’m willing to do that. However, if I get caught, the first thing I’ll do is tell on all of you if I’m not out within a month.”
Grandma Jiang, “…”
Jiang Shuwan, “…”
“Therefore, if we can’t find a really good assassin, we mustn’t do this.”
“Then, what about Qianqian? We’ve been working hard for 18 years. At the moment where all the chess pieces we set up are finally playing, such drastic events have happened. Are you willing to watch our dream of becoming a wealthy family shatter?”
“It’s better for the dream to be shattered than to have everyone go to jail. Don’t you think it’s retribution that so many of us are going to jail at once?”
Xie Congrong was the most clear-headed one now.
“If the dream of being rich is destined to be shattered, then let it be. Think about it, if Zhong Nuannuan and Chi Yang remain in Jiang District, how will they find out about Qianqian? If they find out about Qianqian and take over Qianqian’s identity, then they’ll have to go to Emperor District. They’ll never find out about what Pu Yu did at RS Bank in Jiang District. RS Bank would only recognize DNA similar to Pu Yu. When that time comes, even if Qianqian’s identity has gotten replaced and she returns, our whole family can migrate overseas and collect that sum of money from overseas every year. Before long, we will be among the wealthy overseas, right?”
Grandma Jiang thought about it and nodded. “Congrong makes sense.”
“Mom, but Zhong Kuijun, that bastard…”
Grandma Jiang was silent.
“After a thousand twists and turns, we’ve actually always been under Zhong Kuijun’s control. We’re afraid of Zhong Kuijun. Wanwan, what do you think… if we ask Qianqian to find a way to make him…”
Grandma Jiang made a throat-slitting gesture, scaring Jiang Shuwan and Xie Congrong. However, the two women thought about it and felt that it made sense.
“Think about it. Even if we kill Zhong Nuannuan now, Zhong Kuijun will rat us out. When the power behind Qianqian finds out about it, what will they do to Qianqian, you, or me?”
“Mom, you’re right. He has let me down from the start. There’s nothing worth missing about a man like him. I’ll discuss this with Qianqian and see if we do this through Gu Mingzhe.”
Grandma Jiang nodded. “We have to let Qianqian know about this matter. The Jiang family is already in a precarious position. She can’t be an ignorant rich young lady anymore.”
Zhong Qianqian received Jiang Shuwan’s call the next afternoon.
Seeing who the call was from, Zhong Qianqian picked it up happily.
“Mom, you’ve finally remembered to call me now? I’m doing very well at the Gu family’s house. I arrived so late yesterday, and they still set up a welcome banquet for me. You have no idea how beautiful the Gu family’s villa is even though it’s located in Emperor District’s Fourth Ring Road. I’ve never seen such a beautiful villa…”
Zhong Qianqian rambled on about how rich the Gu family was and how well they treated her. She retold how she felt tired in the morning and woke up late. Even though she only woke up at eleven in the morning, Mrs. Gu waited for her to wake up before eating breakfast together.
Gu Mingzhe’s father, Mr. Gu, and Gu Mingzhe were currently away at the Gu Family Enterprise to solve the problem. Mrs. Gu would accompany Zhong Qianqian to go shopping later. She also invited a few ladies and daughters from the wealthy families in Emperor District.
