Chapter 458 - The Situation in the Court Reversed (1/2)
Jiang Rui told Chen Chen about the long story. Chen Chen didn’t clearly understand some complicated parts, but she knew Jiang Rui would be fine, and that’s enough.
“Be a good girl. I’m sorry for leaving you alone at home these days. If you’re afraid, you can invite Zhou Yiyun home.”
He had originally wanted Tuan Zi to accompany Chen Chen, but in that case, Chen Chen would feel that something was wrong. In order to reassure her, Jiang Rui had to make no other arrangements, but he still didn’t feel relieved to leave her alone at home.
“Don’t bother. I’m not a kid.” Chen Chen was finally relieved. Her sweet voice made Jiang Rui’s heart so itchy.
Later, he hushed Chen Chen to sleep. He didn’t hang up the phone until there were uniform breathing sounds over the other side of the phone.
Jiang Rui rubbed his paralyzed arm and stood up.
“Come in.”
Bai Ziqi opened the door and came in. It was a separate bedroom. No one knew that in the Special Action Force, there were actually some hotel-like rooms in addition to the prison cells.
“What’s your plan?” Bai Ziqi had no time to pay attention to his title and asked, “Would you like to ruin the Lu family?”
Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Your sister…”
“My sister is in a bad mood these days. She can’t be irritated any more.”
Jiang Rui sat down. “So you are hiding from her the news that Han Xueying is pregnant. Or do you believe that Lu Tao will keep his words and give your sister the baby who will be considered as her child?
Seeing Bai Ziqi’s facial expression changed, Jiang Rui added, “Mr. Bai doesn’t care about what happens to Bai Weirong, and he only cares about you and the Bai family. But you can’t, so you collect the information about Lu Tao privately.”
“Do, do you know it all?” Bai Ziqi felt awkward and sat opposite to Jiang Rui. “Bother, Brother Jiang,” He said with the pleading in his eyes, “I don’t want Weirong’s last hope to be broken. As long as I am in the military and the Bai family does not decline, he must respect and support my sister.”
Bai Ziqi was also shocked to know what Lu Tao had done. He didn’t expect his Grandpa to misjudge a person.
“Do you think that he will tolerate being under your pressure?” Jiang Rui sarcastically said, “Once he gets rid of me, he will deal with the Bai family next.”
Bai Ziqi hurried to say, “I know he’s no match for you. You…”
“Well, let’s talk about the Bai family.” Jiang Rui looked at him. “Do you know that Lu Tao tampered with the last batch of military vehicles? What’s more, all the evidence indicates that it was Mr. Bai who asked him to do it. At that time, the Bai family will be done. ”
“How is it possible…?” Bai Ziqi stood up abruptly. “How dare he?”
Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Why didn’t he dare?”
“The information you found is just the tip of the iceberg. Make a further investigation. Pay attention to Eastern Europe.”
Bai Ziqi was horrified. “You, you mean…”
Jiang Rui waved his hand. “Find the truth by yourself.”
Bai Ziqi stumbled away. He knew what Eastern Europe meant. If Lu Tao really had links with terrorists, Grandpa would definitely not let him go.
Chen Chen was awakened by the doorbell, rubbed her eyes while opening the door, and saw Zhou Yiyun standing outside.
“I knew that you haven’t gotten up!” Zhou Yiyun walked in, shaking the cake box in her hand.
She took off her hat and sunglasses. “Scar said that you like the dessert at this shop best. Wash your face first and come to eat.”
Chen Chen ran to the bathroom, washed herself and cleared her minds, and then came over while clapping her hands. “Why are you here? Have you been discharged?”
“I didn’t break my foot. Scar returned to the army today. He said that you were also alone, so he let me come over to accompany you!” Zhou Yiyun held a plate and asked, “Can it be used for the cake?”
She was holding two cartoon plates. “I feel so funny to imagine that Chief Jiang uses this plate!”
“Haha.” Chen Chen was also amused. “Brother Xiao Rui didn’t talk about it. It was he who bought this plate!”
Zhou Yiyun cut Chen Chen a piece of cake. “Well, I’m afraid that no one believes that Chief Jiang lives his life like this at home!”
Additionally, neither would they believe that Jiang Rui could be so nice to a woman.
“You can have such a husband too!” Chen Chen glanced at her. “Scar will also care about his wife. Bear is a good example. You can see how nice Bear is to Ah Zi!”
Zhou Yiyun deliberately ignored her words. “I also bought some food. Let me cook lunch!”
“Is your arm okay?”
“You can cut up the food and I’ll just cook them.”
The rumor that Jiang Rui had been locked up for three days was spreading around. Jiang Qianren went to talk to his superior every day, and even Mr. Jiang also personally had a talk with the highest-ranking officials. But there was no any news that Jiang Rui would be released.
Besides on the fourth day, he would be even taken to the military court for trial in public.
At night, Bear specially came over to tell her that Jiang Rui would be on trial tomorrow. “Boss told that if you want to go to the court, I can come to pick you up tomorrow.”
“Of course I want!” Chen Chen said immediately, “It’s okay?”
“Okay, but there must be a lot of reporters. You just ignore them then.”
Chen Chen nodded and said, “Yeah, I know.”
The next day, Bear drove her and Ah Zi to the court. Lots of reporters gathered at the entrance, so that being surrounded by the reporters, they could not move any further.
“Mrs. Jiang, do you know if Chief Jiang killed someone?”
“If Chief Jiang is sentenced, will the Wan family take any action?”
“Mrs. Jiang, say something!”
