Chapter 377 The Lu Family Accused You of MurderOn the first day of the New Year, Jiang Rui took Chen Chen and Tuan Zi back to Jiang family. Chen Chen didn’t want to go at first, but she was worried about Tuan Zi. But she heard Song Meiyu’s laughter before she went in.

“Hei Zi, if anyone hurts my mother, you should bite her.” Tuan Zi put Hei Zi on the ground and Hei Zi barked.

Jiang Qianren had sharp ears ad came to open the door the minute he heard the sound, “Tuan Zi! Come and greet to granduncle! Here is a red packet for you!”

“Granduncle, happy New Year!” Tuan Zi asked sweetly. Jiang Qianren held her up and gave a big red packet to her. Then he passed another one to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen took it over smilingly, “Happy New Year, uncle!”

“Um, you can have a check later. Mine must be bigger than the one from Ying Qingcang!” Jiang Qianren held Tuan Zi and walked in. Song Meiyu walked up to them and smiled at them.

Jiang Rui sided his mouth and walked past her. Song Meiyu just couldn’t learn a lesson and became angry again. She angrily stared at Chen Chen.

It’s not I who sent people to catch you… Chen Chen touched her nose and felt innocent. The next second, there came Song Chunli’s scream.

“Ah! Who took the country dog here? It is so dirty. Throw it out.”

“Whoof! Whoof!” Hei Zi bit its teeth and was about to bite her.

Jiang Qianren said helplessly, “Mum, it’s not a country dog. It’s a police dog, one in a million. It is specially chosen for Tuan Zi.”

“Dogs aren’t allowed in our home.” Song Chunli coldly glanced at Chen Chen and ignored Tuan Zi. Now she hated Jiang Rui too and didn’t care for the granddaughter at all.

Chen Chen pulled Tuan Zi and said, “We should take Hei Zi back home first!”

“Um.” Tuan Zi didn’t care about it. She was just an ordinary child and wouldn’t like anyone who didn’t like her.

Right at the moment, Jiang Min walked down from upstairs and started to put on his overcoat when he saw the scene.

“Dad? What are you doing?” Jiang Qianren was left in a blank.

Jiang Min patted on Jiang Rui’s shoulder and said, “Come on, I was planning to visit Mr. Ying.” Jiang Rui smiled and held Tuan Zi up. Tuan Zi quickly reached her hand to Jiang Min, “Hold me, grandpa!”

“Jiang Min, what do you mean?” Song Chunli shouted, “You want to leave me alone here on the New Year?”

Jiang Min held Tuan Zi and kissed her, then he turned around to look at her, “Since you don’t like them, you can spend the New Year alone.” He pointed at Song Meiyu, “You are not alone now that she is here.”

After his words, he carried Tuan Zi and pulled the door open. Jiang Rui followed him and Chen Chen secretly smiled with her head down.

However, Jiang Qianren was the only one who didn’t know whether to leave or to stay.

“Okay… okay…” Song Chunli was so angry that she trembled. She pointed at Jiang Qianren, “Do you want to leave too?”

Jiang Qianren sighed, “Mum, why do you have to act like that?” He held Song Chunli to get seated, “It’s the New Year. Why do you have to make everyone unhappy? Do you feel comfortable about it?”

“You can go if you want to. You don’t have to stay to teach me.” Song Chunli pushed him away, “You are all heartless and help the outsiders to hurt me.”

Jiang Qianren frowned and explained, “Mum, it’s my brother’s child, my nephew and his child and wife. They are not outsiders.”

Song Chunli looked at him and suddenly started to cry, “I know it, too. I only have one grandson, who is not obedient and never respects me. What can I do about it?”

“Why do you have to control Xiao Rui and make him obedient?” Jiang Qianren couldn’t understand it, “As long as he is happy, we shouldn’t worry. You don’t have to think so much about it.”

“You can’t say it like that.” Song Meiyu cut in, “My cousin is in the young generation and supposed to take care of grandaunt and follow her words. Now that grandaunt doesn’t like that Chen Chen, he should get divorced with her!”

“Shut up.” Jiang Qianren reprimanded her, “You’re not supposed to show up here again.”

Song Chunli screamed the minute she heard the words, “What? Now the Jiang family has to kick out the people from my parents’ family? Do you want to kick me out too?”

“Grandaunt…” Song Meiyu started to cry.

Jiang Qianren touched his forehead and stood up, “Mum, how did you become like this?” Then he turned to leave before Song Chunli could say anything.

The minute Song Chunli finished the words, she felt regretful. But she didn’t want to be disgraceful in front of Song Meiyu, so she could only see her son leave. Song Meiyu saw her stare and was too frightened to cry.

Ying Qingcang seemed to know they would come back, so he asked the cook over to prepare for the meal. When Jiang Min arrived, the meal was just in place.

“Old Master Jiang, sit there.” Xin Qing poured a glass of wine for Jiang Min and said, “We haven’t seen each other for quite a few years. You are still young and healthy!”

Jiang Min laughed out loud, “I’m old. You see, I don’t know if I can wait till the day when Tuan Zi grows up.”

“Grandpa.” Jiang Rui raised the cup and continued, “May you have a long life.”

“Yes! Yes!” Tuan Zi shouted with him, “Great-grandpa, you have to see Tuan Zi become a general, the first female general!”

Jiang Min touched her head and said, “Really? Our Tuan Zi is so brilliant and I will wait to see you become a female general!”

When Jiang Qianren was here, Ying Qingcang made use of the chance and spoke ironically of him. Jiang Qianren didn’t care about that and just ate regardless of his words. Ying Qingcang was so annoyed that he hid the wine and didn’t let him drink.

After the meal, the men went to the study while Xin Qing and Chen Chen led Tuan Zi to light the fireworks by the door.

“Do you know who kidnapped Lu Qi?” Jiang Min looked at Jiang Rui and asked.

Jiang Rui nodded, “We know from the investigation that Lu Qi has gone to a bar with friends after she came back from abroad. From the next day on, someone had been following her.” Jiang Rui walked to the window and continued, “In my opinion, she must have touched or eaten something in the bar.”

“You mean, those things are related to the research conducted by terrorists?” Jiang Qianren touched his chin, “But why didn’t they take action at the moment? Instead, they waited until she came back to her homeland?”

Looking at Chen Chen who was scared to jump around by the fireworks through the window, Jiang Rui lifted his lips, “They must be observing. I assume that even the person who made the medicine doesn’t know the effects. Therefore, after Lu Qi took it by accident, those people must be waiting to see the drug’s effects.”

“Then, after the period of the observation, they were afraid that someone would find out the virus in her body, so they decided to kill her.”

Jiang Qianren understood, “But they hadn’t expected the rejection reaction of the virus in Lu Qi, so they decided to take Lu Qi back to study.”

“Someone made use of the incident and let you be the scapegoat.” Jiang Min frowned and continued, “Even though the Lu family doesn’t know the truth, they won’t believe you’re the one who kidnapped Lu Qi.”

Jiang Rui coldly smiled, “It’s they who spread the word out. They thought that I would save Lu Qi to prove myself innocent.”

From the moment when Lu Qi and her mother began to scheme her, Lu Qi’s life was over. Jiang Rui didn’t react when he was photographed because he knew someone would take action.

“Lu Qi can’t live.” Jiang Rui saw Chen Chen falling down for the fifth time and frowned. He turned around and said, “Those people won’t let her live.”

Jiang Min thought for a while, “Do you want to catch them?”

“No.” Jiang Rui shook his head, “They’re not worth it, and…” His eyes became grim, “The cost of catching them is too big. It’s not a bargain.”

Jiang Qianren suddenly screamed, “You… you framed the Ministry of Security!”

“Who told you that?” Jiang Rui smiled, “I didn’t send them to catch those people!”

It wasn’t an easy New Year for many people. On the fifth of the lunar New Year, there were many more armed policemen than usual and many places were imposed with curfews. That night, many people living in the northern city heard the sound of crackers.

On the next day, it was said on the news that an illegal fireworks manufacturing factory had accidentally exploded in the countryside and three people died there. The common people were already used to that kind of news and had no reactions.

But some departments found something wrong about it. After the explosion, many agencies that hadn’t shown up before went there and caused a scene. It was not until the tenth of the lunar year that the place cooled off. But it was still locked up and no one could enter without permission.

“Master.” Bear got here in the morning, “It’s pretty tough to deal with.”

Jiang Rui put down the teacup, “Did the Lu family see Lu Qi’s corpse?”

“Yes. Due to the fact that the dead body was found in a farming yard in the suburb, now the Lu family is certain that you killed her and decided to sue you at the military court.”

“It sounds like them.” Jiang Rui leaned against the couch and looked like he didn’t care, “You can tell them I accept the summon for interrogation, but it must be after the twentith.”

Bear didn’t understand, “Master, you will go to the court?”

“It depends on my mood. Everything should be decided after my mother leaves.” He took up the car key and said, “Let’s go. Tuan Zi is waiting for me to bring the cake back.”

In the Ying family’s villa.

When Chen Chen and Tuan Zi were taking naps, Xin Qing whispered with Ying Qingcang.

“You haven’t told them Chen Chen is Liuliu?”

Ying Qingcang held Xin Qing in his arms and they leaned against windowsill on the second floor, “No, but we need to ask Boss Wan to help with some investigation.”

“What?” Xin Qing turned around, “Is it about Xiao Rui’s being framed recently?”

“Your son has grown up and he can deal with it on his own. Don’t worry.” Ying Qingcang bit on her lips with dissatisfaction, “It’s Liuliu.”

Xin Qing became more worried at the words, “What’s wrong with Liuliu?”

“Recently, Jiang Rui has been investigating the terrorists who are connected with the virus. You know what Liuliu has done before. I’m afraid if Jiang Rui continues the investigation, Liuliu will be exposed.” Ying Qingcang looked at Xin Qing and opened his mouth but didn’t say anything.

He touched her face and his tone became even more gentle, “You can’t persuade Jiang Rui to give up, right?”

“Yes.” Xin Qing nodded and said sadly, “It’s the motive of his existence to find the murderer of his parents. We can’t be that selfish and ask him to stop.”

Ying Qingcang rubbed her hair, “Don’t worry, I will investigate with Boss Wan in a few days. If it doesn’t work, I’ll ask Young Master Shen to send some people to protect Liuliu.”

Chen Chen didn’t know about those things, but she had another problem to worry about. Ah Zi was suddenly out of reach. Chen Chen had left a message before the New Year but didn’t get a reply until then. Chen Chen knew something must have happened to Ah Zi.
