Chapter 1403: Warning Jiang Xue
"You, you, you..." Old Sir Jiang stammered for a long time and couldn’t say a complete sentence. In the end, he could only hang up the phone angrily.
Once the call ended, Old Sir Jiang sat weakly in the chair. He now regretted his decision at the time.
If he had known earlier that Jiang Feng would defy him like this, he would never have protected him, causing another son’s false death.
However, this thought in Old Jiang’s mind was just a fleeting notion, not genuine regret. After all, Jiang Feng is the son he cherished for so many years and currently the most promising one.
Every time others mentioned Jiang Feng, he felt proud, thinking his protection was not misplaced. Moreover, Jiang Feng has always been respectful to him.
He couldn’t quite understand why Jiang Feng’s attitude toward him was so poor today. Why has he been unwilling to come home lately?
Unable to figure it out, Old Sir Jiang decided not to think further. He just pondered, in a day or two, when his anger subsides and Jiang Feng calms down, he would call again.
As for Jiang Xue, he needed to warn her not to make excessive demands of Jin Hao; otherwise, he would make sure she couldn’t stay in South City.
Ultimately, Old Sir Jiang chose his son. Fortunately, Jiang Xue was already extremely disappointed in him, so she wouldn’t be heartbroken or upset.
With this, when she received Old Jiang’s call, she had no desire to speak with him. Just as she was about to hang up, she heard Old Jiang say, "Jiang Xue, Jin Hao wants to collaborate with you. Don’t make too many excessive demands, otherwise don’t blame me for making you unable to stay in South City."
"Oh, I’m so scared." Jiang Xue said sarcastically. In truth, she wasn’t scared at all; given her current status and position in South City, she couldn’t be driven out just by Old Jiang saying so.
Therefore, regarding Old Jiang’s words, Jiang Xue treated them like empty threats. However, him mentioning Jin Hao caught her attention; she asked, "What, is Jin Hao your family’s relative?"
"That’s none of your concern. In short, if you are to work with him, just cooperate well and don’t make excessive demands. Otherwise, I won’t let you off."
"Really? What if I insist?"
"You dare!"
"Old Sir Jiang, let me tell you, I didn’t fall for your tricks before and I won’t now. I don’t care what relationship Jin Hao has with you, whatever I want to do, I don’t need anyone’s guidance. All right, I have nothing more to say, hanging up."
After Jiang Xue finished speaking, she directly hung up the phone, which angered Old Sir Jiang intensely. However, Jiang Xue didn’t care much; after hanging up on Old Sir Jiang, she immediately called Mr. Lan to report the situation to him, asking him to thoroughly investigate the relationship between Old Sir Jiang and Jin Hao.
She suspected that Old Sir Jiang was also part of that alliance. If that were the case, then the Jiang Family would really be doomed.
Luckily, she hadn’t accepted Old Jiang; otherwise, things could have been very unclear.
Mr. Lan took the information provided by Jiang Xue seriously. After hanging up, he immediately sent someone to investigate.
Discovering unexpected facts as the investigation progressed, realizing Old Jiang was sworn siblings with Jin Hao’s parents. Over the years, they always kept in touch. As such, when Jin Hao came to Huaxia, the two had met several times.
After uncovering the relationship between Old Jiang and Jin Hao, Mr. Lan’s team further traced leads, finding some leaked information was also linked to Old Jiang.
