Chapter 772 Chapter 765 Escape
772: Chapter 765: Escape 772: Chapter 765: Escape The Secretary General’s Wife was on the run, and so was Xu Jiaojiao.
The one pursuing her was Mr.
Xu, aiming to get that notebook in her possession.
Xu Jiaojiao was filled with regret.
She should have given up on her grandfather long ago.
Wasn’t he just a cold and heartless person after all?
Had she not realized this before?
But why did she hold on to a sliver of hope for such a person?
She was truly courting her own doom!
Xu Jiaojiao didn’t even have time to escape Kyoto.
Reluctant to leave her son, she hid near the school to catch a glimpse of him.
Unexpectedly, she didn’t see her son but instead spotted the people Mr.
Xu sent to capture her.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and managed to drive away before they noticed.
Xu Jiaojiao drove frantically, but her driving skills were too poor.
She was about to be caught.
In her panic, she lost all sense of direction.
In the chaos before her, she had no idea where to drive, wildly swerving the steering wheel, making the car veer erratically.
Ah Shen drove slowly ahead, frowning deeply, feeling a bit irritable.
Xue Ji hadn’t contacted him for days.
Who knows what nonsense she was up to?
Several times he almost called her but never dialed.
He was, after all, the ruthless Dan Yusen.
How could he indulge in sentimental matters?
Suppressing the restlessness inside, he slammed his hand on the steering wheel, intending to speed up back to the hotel when suddenly a red car came barreling towards him.
“Damn!”
Ah Shen’s face changed drastically.
He cursed as he jerked the steering wheel to barely avoid the red car.
But the red car then lost control, crashing into the roadside greenery with a deafening noise.
Ah Shen opened his car door, his anger boiling inside.
He only wanted to find someone to vent his fury on, and here was the perfect scapegoat—the reckless driver before him.
“Do you even know how to drive?”
Ah Shen flung open the other car’s door, cursing furiously.
“I beg you, save me!
Save me!”
The young woman inside, covered in blood, pleaded desperately.
The Seventh Young Madam of Jin Family?
Ah Shen raised an eyebrow, surprised to see that the woman in the car was the Seventh Mrs.
Jin who had stirred up quite a storm recently.
Without a second thought, he carried Xu Jiaojiao out of the car.
“Bag!”
Even half-conscious, Xu Jiaojiao hadn’t forgotten her precious bag.
Ah Shen grabbed the black backpack from the passenger seat.
Who knew what was inside that made the Seventh Madam of Jin Family so attached?
Ah Shen had only driven a short distance when he saw a black car pull up roadside.
Some strong men got out, heading straight for the red car.
Shortly after, they returned to their car, searching everywhere for Xu Jiaojiao.
Ah Shen chuckled triumphantly, glancing at the unconscious Xu Jiaojiao.
Hope you’re of some use!
Otherwise, I’ll have to hand you back to them!
Mr.
Xu was so angry when he learned that Xu Jiaojiao had vanished that blood rushed to his head.
He quickly took a blood pressure pill to calm down a bit.
Useless, all of them useless!
They couldn’t even find a woman!
A month’s almost up, and he still hasn’t heard back about Xu Jiaojiao’s demise.
Who knows what Jin Guangrong would say?
And then there’s that notebook.
That’s the most crucial thing!
Thinking of the notebook made Mr.
Xu’s blood boil again.
He took deep breaths to calm his nerves.
He couldn’t collapse; there was no one else in the family of any use.
If he fell, so would the Xu Family.
Mr.
Xu’s mind raced until he finally thought of a plan to force Xu Jiaojiao out of hiding, smiling wickedly!
Three days had passed since the Secretary General’s suicide.
Sisi felt a bit down these past days.
The Secretary General’s Wife had just filed an appeal when he was found dead.
Even a fool could understand the implications; only some people feigned ignorance.
No, they didn’t misunderstand; they understood all too well!
They were simply playing dumb!
As soon as she heard of the Secretary General’s death, she hurried to his house with Zhang Jie.
But the place had already been turned upside down, and the Secretary General’s Wife was nowhere to be found.
She spent these three days looking for this woman.
She chided herself for not realizing sooner.
The Secretary General, being the actual executor of the foundation, must have known many secrets.
Otherwise, Jin Guangrong wouldn’t be so anxious about the Secretary General’s Wife’s appeal.
It seemed the Secretary General’s Wife must have something Jin Guangrong feared.
If she could get hold of it, perhaps she could bring down Wan Yun!
As for Jin Guangrong, she hadn’t even dared to think about it.
The man wasn’t so easy to topple.
All she could do was weaken the Jin Family’s influence.
The Secretary General’s Wife lay weakly in the bushes, having not slept in three days and surviving on the bare minimum.
Her health was already poor, and this intense exertion was beyond her limits.
If not for her strong determination, she would have long given up!
Breathing heavily, her chest faintly aching, she took a heart pill from her bag and swallowed it dry.
Her water bottle had long run dry.
Feeling depressed at home, Sisi decided to take the kids out to the reservoir to relax.
She had been busy with the foundation’s affairs, neglecting the kids.
Zhang Jie and Shangguan went too; they awaited upfront.
The reservoir’s water was refreshingly cool.
Many people were already playing in the shallows.
The kids had fun, and the adults felt refreshed, clearing away these days’ gloom.
Before sunset, Sisi shouted to gather back the reluctant two adults and eight children.
“Mom/Auntie, this place is so fun.
Let’s come again tomorrow!” Ya Ya and Bian Dou exclaimed excitedly, water dripping from their bodies.
Du Du and Mao Dou, the older kids, helped dry the younger ones.
“That depends on my mood!” Sisi pretended to massage her back.
The kids quickly caught on, eagerly offering massages and back rubs, tending to her attentively.
Sisi delighted in their service for a while, promising to bring them back in a few days, prompting cheers from the children.
Hearing the children’s voices, Sisi’s spirits lifted.
“Kids, fasten your seatbelts; we’re heading out!”
Sisi yelled as she started the car.
But as soon as she did, something felt strange, like there was something under the car.
“Mom is going to check outside.
Stay put.
Du Du, Mao Dou, watch your siblings!”
Sisi stepped out, kicked a stone under the car but saw no reaction, so she bent down to look.
Sure enough, a person lay beneath.
A dirty middle-aged woman, unconscious.
The woman’s face was filthy, but Sisi’s sharp eyes recognized her.
The Secretary General’s Wife!
