A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 695: Chapter 694: Such is the Righteousness that Destroys Even Family Ties
“Nan, what are you doing standing here?”

Hearing Wen Huai’s voice, Mu Nan turned his head towards the waist-holding Wen Huai, his resolute eyebrows furrowing slightly.

“What’s wrong? Did you bump into your wound again?”

“No, I just stretched it inadvertently a moment ago. What are you doing standing here?” Wen Huai sat down on the sofa, took the glass of water passed to him, drank it, and then casually placed the teacup on the table, looking at Mu Nan.

“Oh, I’m waiting for Chu Yunxuan. She said she’s leaving, and I thought, I’ll take her to the airport in a while.”

When Mu Nan heard Chu Yunxuan was leaving, his brow furrowed unconsciously, “How come? You said Sister Chu is leaving? Didn’t she mention she would stay here for a while longer?”

“Yes, you’ve almost recovered, and I have to get busy. After you’re done with your things, let’s meet in Beijing.”

Just then, a charming and gentle voice came from upstairs, with Chu Yunxuan carrying her backpack as she came down.

Seeing Chu Yunxuan really about to leave, Wen Huai pressed his hand against his waist wound, stood up from the sofa, walked over to Mu Nan’s side, and waited for Chu Yunxuan to come down from upstairs.

“Didn’t you say you were on vacation recently? Why are you going back now?” Watching Chu Yunxuan descend the stairs with light steps, Wen Huai still couldn’t understand why Chu Yunxuan had decided to leave so suddenly.

“My vacation is over! I suddenly have some other things to do, and there’s another thing. Your sister asked me to tell you, some things should be done within your means, no need to put too much pressure on yourself. You’re still young, just being yourself is enough!”

Chu Yunxuan stood in front of Wen Huai, looking at this big boy who was taller than her by a head. Though he had just turned eighteen and was a resolute young man, he indeed had the same genes as Wen Xin.

Chu Yunxuan raised her hand to straighten Wen Huai’s slightly askew collar and gave him a faint smile.

“You are already doing great. You must take good care of yourself!”

Wen Huai’s thoughts were still lingering on the words Chu Yunxuan relayed from Wen Xin, it seemed his sister was aware of his situation.

“Sister Chu, are you saying my sister already knows about my injury?”

Asked by Wen Huai, Chu Yunxuan simply smiled, “Of course she knows. Who’s your sister? Is there anything she wouldn’t want to know about? She hasn’t called you because she didn’t want to put too much pressure on you. Keep it up, young man!”

Chu Yunxuan gently patted Wen Huai’s shoulder, “Alright, I should go. If you feel embarrassed to talk to your sister about something, just give me a call directly. Don’t worry, your Sister Chu will always be there for you if you need help.”

After saying that, Chu Yunxuan confidently walked outside with her bag, while Mu Nan felt the car keys in his pocket and quickly followed her.

“I’ll take you to the airport.”

This time, Chu Yunxuan didn’t refuse Mu Nan. She glanced at Mu Nan walking beside her, gave him a faint smile, and together they left.

The Jiang family…

Old Master Jiang looked much better after confirming that Jiang Linyan had arrived at the Black Hand Alliance.

For some unknown reason, Housekeeper Jiang rushed in hastily from outside.

Hearing the housekeeper’s disordered footsteps, Old Master Jiang lifted his head and eyed Housekeeper Jiang with disdain. “At your age, why are you still so flustered? To the uninformed, it would seem as if something major has happened!”

“Master, something indeed has gone wrong. The sir was transferred from the prosecutor’s office to the prison, and it’s said that the review results are out. At the lightest, sir is facing life imprisonment!”

Housekeeper Jiang’s face looked ugly as he gazed at Old Master Jiang, whose teacup almost shattered on the floor upon hearing Housekeeper Jiang’s words. He had not expected Old Jiang’s review results to come so quickly.

“How could this be? What about Ou Shen Zhi? Didn’t Ou Shen Zhi say he would pull strings and do his best to reduce Sheng’s criminal liability? What happened?”

Old Master Jiang’s eyes widened as he stared at Housekeeper Jiang. He had considered the possibility of Ou Shen Zhi being uncontrollable, but he had never anticipated that Ou Shen Zhi would completely disregard Old Jiang.

“Master… this matter…” Housekeeper Jiang looked embarrassedly at Old Master Jiang. On his way over, he had already investigated the ins and outs of the issue, and Old Jiang’s case was still deeply entangled with Ou Shen Zhi.

“What’s with all the hemming and hawing? Just say it outright. There’s no need to beat around the bush! Is there anything I can’t handle? Out with it!”

Old Master Jiang was impatient with Housekeeper Jiang’s reluctance to speak clearly. With Old Jiang in his current predicament, what more could he not withstand?

“Master, I heard that the evidence from the Discipline Inspection Commission originally wasn’t sufficient to charge sir with such a serious crime. It was all because of the son-in-law’s subsequent submissions that they intensified the scrutiny and quickly established sir’s guilt,” said Housekeeper Jiang.

“Since the son-in-law took over Tianlang Base, the first thing he did was to audit Tianlang’s accounts and some weapons, finding many issues. Without consulting you, he handed over all the data directly to the disciplinary authorities…”

“Master…”

“Smash!”

Housekeeper Jiang hadn’t finished speaking when Old Master Jiang forcefully threw the teapot to the ground, where it shattered on impact, the cashmere carpet stained yellow by the spilled tea.

“I should have listened to Linyan; I knew that boy had a streak of defiance, but never did I imagine he would do something like this!”

Old Master Jiang gripped the arm of the sofa tightly with one hand, while his other hand covered his chest. He made great efforts to contain his rage, as though he might faint from anger any second.

“I let him take over Tianlang because I was worried about outsiders handling it and this very thing happening. I never anticipated that it would give him the chance to personally aggravate his father-in-law’s charges. What a fine job he did!”

“Where… where is he now? Get him here. I want to hear his explanation! Let’s see how he plans to account for himself!”

Old Master Jiang pointed at Housekeeper Jiang, ordering him to fetch Ou Shen Zhi. He needed Ou Shen Zhi to provide a satisfying explanation; he had always believed he had treated Ou Shen Zhi well, yet couldn’t fathom why Ou Shen Zhi would do something so despicably opportunist.

An hour later, Ou Shen Zhi walked into Old Master Jiang’s study with measured, unhurried steps, carrying a document bag in his hand.

Upon seeing Ou Shen Zhi, Old Master Jiang’s first instinct was to swing the cane by his side at him.

Ou Shen Zhi was no fool; naturally, he would not just stand there and wait for Old Master Jiang’s cane to hit him, so he instinctively stepped back.

“Grandfather, isn’t it a bit much to start off by hitting me?”

Ou Shen Zhi looked at Old Master Jiang with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, an expression that made him appear insincere, which was even more infuriating.
