Jiang Suining hadn't gone to bed yet. He was leaning against the head of the bed, reading a book by candlelight.

When she heard the noisy sound, the stone in her heart fell.

When she walked into Jiang Zhitong and Zheng's courtyard, Jiang Mushi, who heard the noise, was already there.

Seeing Jiang Suining coming in, Jiang Zhitong said with a pale face: "Suining, you saved our Jiang family's life!"

Although the fabrics in the warehouse had been moved, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he heard the clerk report that the original warehouse had been burned down.

If Sui Ning hadn't brought it up, if I hadn't believed her...

That fire burned more than just the cloth. Just think about the deed of high compensation, it was almost like burning half of the Jiang family.

"Father, this is my home too." Jiang Suining said.

Hearing her words, Jiang Mushi glanced at her and immediately said, "Yes, this is our common home."

"Anyway, Suining, I'm really lucky to have you this time." Zheng walked forward and took Jiang Suining's hand. "I secretly thought that you must have guessed wrong before, I..."

"Mother, I understand everything." Jiang Suining smiled at Zheng, "The key now is what to do next."

"That's right!" Jiang Zhitong gathered his thoughts and said, "Sui Ning, you asked people to put in those defective products that had problems during the rush production and some inferior fabrics. You didn't want the arsonist to find out that the warehouse was empty, right?"

"That's right. There's still some time before delivery. If they find out that the warehouse is empty, they might attack again. Instead of that, it's better to pretend and let them believe that the fabric has been destroyed. And only in this way can they move to the next step."

"What's the next step?" Zheng wondered.

Jiang Suining nodded, "I guess Zeng Fansong will come to show his concern next, and then tell father that he has found a way to get a batch of cloth of high quality that can help the Jiang family deliver the goods. He will act as a middleman to introduce father to the seller and buy the cloth at a high price."

"He's dreaming. We must not let him get the Jiang family's money. If he dares to come to us, I will scold him to death!" Zheng spoke immediately.

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Zhitong, "Does father think so too?"

Jiang Zhitong shook his head, his expression gloomy, even revealing a hint of bitterness, "If it is really him, then we can't break up with him at this time."

"That's right, there is Zhang Wangcheng behind him. We can't let them find out the flaws before we have enough evidence. Not only can we not scold him, but we have to thank him and then go to see the fabric eagerly." Jiang Suining said.

Once Zeng Fansong realizes that something is wrong, he may change his plan and take action against the Jiang family in other ways.

"Are we really just giving money to the Zeng family for nothing?" Jiang Mushi couldn't help but say.

"It's not that easy." Jiang Suining laughed and glanced at the three people. "As long as we cooperate properly, the Zeng family won't be able to make money, and we can also prevent them from finding any problems."

After an incense stick of time, Jiang Zhitong hurriedly left the Jiang family and rushed to the warehouse, acting panic-stricken and anxious.

The next day, Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi still went to the academy, but both of them had frowns on their faces.

Many students had heard about the incident at the Jiang family and had been asking around. After seeing how Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi behaved, they all believed that something really had happened to the Jiang family.

As for the Zeng family, everything was just as Jiang Suining had expected. He showed concern at first, and then came again soon, saying that by chance, he happened to come across someone selling a batch of cloth, so he took Jiang Zhitong to check it out.

But the price was as high as one hundred thousand taels of silver.

When Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi returned home from school, Zeng Fansong happened to be sitting in the lobby of the Jiang family.

"This 100,000 taels is simply a sky-high price. No matter how good the quality of that batch of cloth is, 20,000 taels is the most it can be. The total amount of the order we received from the court is only 30,000 taels of silver."

Zheng exclaimed, her face full of surprise, and in her heart she secretly cursed Zeng Fansong.

He actually wanted to cheat the Jiang family out of their money in this way, he is simply insane!

Zeng Fansong sighed and said, "This price is indeed outrageous. They have heard about the accident at the Jiang family's warehouse and the election for the imperial merchant. They are obviously raising the price. Brother Jiang, if it doesn't work, why don't I refuse it..."

"No." Jiang Zhitong gritted his teeth and shook his head, "I'd like to trouble Brother Zeng to tell them that the Jiang family wants that batch of cloth!"

Zeng Fansong's eyes gleamed, but his face was still frowning, "Brother Jiang, think about it again, one hundred thousand taels is really too much of a rip-off."

"Yes, sir, that's one hundred thousand taels." Zheng also spoke.

"If we can't deliver on time, our Jiang family will have to pay at least 300,000 taels of silver. We have already invested too much in rushing to make the cloth this time, and now the loss is heavy. The Jiang family can't afford 300,000 taels of silver."

Zeng Fansong looked at Jiang Zhitong, and was very proud to see that everything was exactly as he expected.

But when he spoke, he still sighed, "If that's the case, then I'll go on behalf of Brother Jiang and tell them."

"Thank you, Brother Zeng. Please tell them to sign the contract tomorrow to avoid any further mishaps. After signing, my people will immediately take the contract to transport the goods."

"Okay." Zeng Fansong agreed.

Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi stood outside the hall. After listening to the conversation inside, they did not go in, but turned and went to the backyard.

"Jiang Suining, is everything really going to be alright?" Jiang Mushi felt uneasy.

Although he seemed heartless on weekdays, he knew that the Jiang family was in great danger this time.

"You want me to comfort you?" Jiang Suining raised her eyebrows. Seeing that Jiang Mushi didn't say anything, but didn't deny it, she smiled and said, "Then you should at least call me sister first."

"I won't scream." Jiang Mushi refused subconsciously.

"If that's rude, then I can't tell you how sure you are."

"You..." Jiang Mushi stared at Jiang Suining, and seeing that the latter was unmoved and looked like she would not speak unless called, he finally called out reluctantly, "Sister."

"The sound is too soft to be heard clearly."

"You...sister, sister, sister! Is that enough?" Jiang Mushi spoke loudly.

"Be good!" Jiang Suining reached out and touched Jiang Mushi's head.

"You can tell me now, right?" Jiang Mushi looked at her, "How sure are you?"

"Ninety percent."

"You're not kidding me, are you? So many?"

Jiang Suining glanced back at the direction of the lobby and said, "Seeing Zeng Fansong walking step by step according to my expectations, I am naturally confident."

"Then why don't you say 100%?" Jiang Mushi muttered, but he felt much more at ease in his heart.

"Nothing in the world is 100% certain, we have to leave some things to God. But..." Jiang Suining smiled, "I'm going to meet someone next. If that person is convinced, then it's 99% certain."

Moreover, it is 99% possible to prevent future troubles.
