Chapter 439 - The Past III (2/2)

”When Senior Zhou left the country, was it because of Old Man Xian?” Jiang Ruolan turned around to ask.

Jia Zhenzhen shook her head. ”No. No matter how capable Old Man Xian is, it wasn't easy to suppress Senior Zhou, who had great power in the country at the time. However, because of Old Man Xian's arrogance and influence in the government, many things were resolved just like that. Did you know what Old Man Xian offered to Senior Zhou in order for him to shut his mouth? His business.”

”What do you mean is Senior Zhou's business at that time was something grandpa bargained with him?” Jiang Ruolan asked in surprise.

”A bargaining chip Old Man Xian held in his hand.”

”Besides his rank, Senior Zhou and Old Man Xian are of equal strength, but since Old Man Xian is old, he left the army earlier than Senior Zhou, so there is no chance for him (Old Man Xian) to climb up too high.”

”To put it bluntly, Old Man Xian was one of Senior Zhou's benefactors in the army that year. If the truth of whatever he had done were exposed one day, Senior Zhou would be the person to enjoy the benefit. Although men love power, Senior Zhou was very smart at that time and had gotten what he deserved. He might as well resign early and be relaxed.”

After Jia Zhenzhen completed her sentence, Jiang Ruolan finally understood.

No wonder when Senior Zhou returned home, Old Man Xian didn't like to interact with him too much. Although both of them had a lot of interaction, they only pretended to be polite on the surface.

If it weren't for this layer, Old Man Xian would have supported the relationship between Zhou Shufen and Xian Zihao some time ago.

Old Man Xian was neither cold nor warm to Zhou Shufen, and he was even more polite to Senior Zhou on the surface.

As expected, everything was on Old Man Xian.

However, it had been many years since this incident happened. No matter how big the case was, it had already passed the official period of investigation. Right now, it was only a legal framework and a historical case.

It also caused Jiang Ruolan's life to once again fall into disarray, and she didn't know how to react to this matter.

”Auntie Jia, are you here for revenge?” Jiang Ruolan asked softly.

Jia Zhenzhen looked at the seemingly calm Jiang Ruolan, who was standing in front of her. She was sizing up her expression and mood, trying to figure out her attitude.

”You didn't come back just to tell me the truth, did you? How do you plan to take revenge? Are you going to involve me in this matter?” Jiang Ruolan's eyes were staring straight at her without blinking. ”Are you trying to make me a pawn for your revenge and used me to turn the Xian Family upside down?”
