Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: Oddballs
Su Yuanyuan’s words pierced Jiang Chun’s heart like a dagger.
"You bitch, what do you know? How could our noble bloodline be tainted?"
Su Yuanyuan continued to smile, "Don’t worry, your pure-blooded brothers and those two sons will come to accompany you."
"Impossible, impossible, they’ve already fled. They will come back to rescue me."
"Alright, just wait patiently.
Take her away, as long as there’s still breath in her."
Su Yuanyuan felt disgusted. What a bizarre family.
"Su Yuanyuan, you bitch, you’ll regret treating me like this in the future."
Such insults to the leader meant the people below were rough with her.
When Tan Shaoting emerged from the secret room, Jiang Mingcheng was also brought out. He was glaring at Su Yuanyuan with hatred.
For people like him, the couple felt disgusted. Already grandparents, yet so childish. And now? Because of his so-called true love, thirty-eight members of the Jiang Family will be burdened for generations.
Tan Shaoting escorted his wife out. "I’ll see you off."
"No need, there’s nothing else to interrogate now, just wait for Qi Yan and them to bring those three back.
Let’s see their status in Japan, and have them make the call."
Tan Shaoting understood his wife’s intentions. She planned to make them suffer major losses. Of course, if they didn’t care about them, it was another matter.
Five days later, Qi Yan and the other two returned, bringing back a middle-aged man, now severely injured, and two boys, one about fifteen or sixteen, the other twelve or thirteen.
Su Yuanyuan received the news that the children returned. She left the meeting at once and came over to see the kids.
She was actually more worried. Although rationally, she knew they were fine, they were her children, after all. How could she not worry?
Qi Yan and the others ran over excitedly when they saw their mom arriving.
Seeing the three children in good health, Su Yuanyuan finally felt relieved.
"Mom, we’re fine."
"Congratulations on successfully completing the mission."
The children’s faces lit up with joy at their mom’s praise.
"Go home and freshen up, and we’ll have lunch together."
Su Yuanyuan knew they had work and so did she. After the reminder, she left.
Qi Yan and the others went to complete the formalities, and only then was the mission truly complete.
Tan Shaoting also felt relieved seeing the kids return safely. This is the heart of parents worldwide.
The five of them had lunch at home, although the food was brought back from a restaurant by Chengzi. The weather was getting cooler, but being able to have a meal together as a family made everyone happy.
"Mom, that Che Renli really isn’t normal," Qi Hong said with a laugh.
The kids were not even nine years old; Su Yuanyuan didn’t want them to be aware of the dirty things. But after inadvertently finding out about Che Renli, Su Yuanyuan lost her appetite.
She now regretted it. The three of them were still kids; it’s really not good for them to be exposed to such things so early.
Qi Yan noticed his mom was unhappy and knew what she was worried about. "Mom, don’t worry, we know right from wrong."
"I’m afraid it will affect you."
"How could it? We know what’s right and wrong."
Su Yuanyuan was still worried. She was, after all, a mom.
Qi Wen quickly changed the topic to discuss the mission, "Mom, they were really cowardly, you know. I really despise them. They dare to call themselves nobles?
Actually, later on, my brother said, ’Such nobles are okay to wreak havoc outside, as long as they don’t do it here.’
Su Yuanyuan understood the children’s intention. They wanted to distract her from worrying.
"Well, if they’re truly important to that side, I might consider sending them back."
"Mom, but we can’t let them off lightly," Qi Hong said with a sly smile.
Qi Wen laughed, "How could we let them off lightly? We know Mom’s character well, and we’ve inherited it."
"Are you going back to the garrison this afternoon?"
Qi Yan nodded, "We initially planned to go out of town, but this emergency task delayed us for several days. We’ll go and take on our mission directly."
"Mom, Uncle Daqing said we could choose our own tasks."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Don’t be overconfident, know your own limits."
The three kids nodded. They understood that they couldn’t take any risks that would worry their parents.
Su Yuanyuan raised her water glass, "Congratulations on successfully completing your first mission. Mom is very proud and happy for you."
The family’s glasses clinked together as they all smiled.
After lunch, Qi Yan drove, and the three siblings left. Chengzi, unable to contain himself, took advantage of his sister-in-law’s meeting time to call Hu Zi excitedly.
"The tiger father indeed has no dog sons, I feel pumped just hearing it."
Tan Shaoting’s afternoon interrogation went smoothly. Just like the daughter said, these three were really cowardly."
After extracting the confession, Tan Shaoting went to see Zeng Zhenqing.
"What’s Xiao Su’s suggestion?"
"Use them in an exchange."
"Alright, discuss with Old Lu and Xiao Su on how to handle this."
Lu Chengmin had no objections; his division of labor with Su Yuanyuan was clear. He was the mediator, while Su Yuanyuan was the tough one.
The next day, they didn’t stoop to making calls themselves; instead, they contacted the parliament over there.
Over there, the parliament felt troubled by the incident. What was happening with these two countries? But since they had both joined, it was their responsibility and obligation to resolve the issue.
They called the other side, and upon receiving the news, the other party was furious.
They knew who was behind the explosion, but there was no evidence, and the interrogation involved only domestic people. Unlike them, who caught the perpetrators.
The Japanese side held a meeting to discuss the matter. They considered themselves nobles, but in the minds of those in power now, they meant nothing.
However, they couldn’t ignore it, as in the eyes of ordinary people, they still held some regard.
Acting as an intermediary between the two countries was extremely difficult. One side wanted to extradite these four individuals, but the other side was very clear: Minister Su demanded compensation—equipment loss, emotional damage, medical expenses, nutrition fees, all listed in over twenty items. Yet they didn’t specify amounts, letting the other side decide based on the value of the four people.
Minister Su was clearly trying to trouble them. They could see it, and the Japanese side knew it. Now it was up to them how to handle it.
