Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?
Chapter 95: So, what exactly is that thing?
"Nonsense!" Cheng Siqi said excitedly. "I... I was just young and impetuous before, which is why I was so infatuated with those women's sweet talk. I have changed now and will never do anything to betray Huanhuan."
Upon hearing this, Ling Siye merely gave a cold laugh. "Whether you change it or not is irrelevant, because Huanhuan is my girlfriend."
"You..." Cheng Siqi was speechless for a moment, because what Ling Siye said was true.
Although the three of them appeared at the Jiang family's memorial service and announced that they would be Huanhuan's fiancés, causing a great stir, not many people cared. After all, who would believe them?
Then, Ling Siye appeared. He openly became Huanhuan's boyfriend, and did so in front of everyone, even taking many actions to prove it.
Even Grandpa Jiang agreed.
If they wanted to compete, could they win against him?
The answer is yes.
We definitely can't win.
"Master Ling believes the three of us have ulterior motives. Then what about you, Master Ling? Are you really after Huanhuan?" Qin Wenyan asked without changing his expression.
“Otherwise?” Ling Siye retorted, raising an eyebrow. “If you called me over just to say these things, then I’m afraid I won’t keep you company.”
After saying that, he got up and was about to go upstairs.
Qin Wenyan said calmly, "Could it be that Master Ling's appearance at the Jiang family wasn't for something from the Jiang family?"
Hearing this through his earpiece, Jiang Huan frowned slightly, his expression even more serious than before.
Something from the Jiang family?
Could it be the same as what Master Zhu mentioned?
Luo Siheng, the young master of Jinfeng Hall, sent Master Zhu to cause trouble at the construction site. It seemed like he was trying to bring down the Qian family, but in reality, he was targeting the Jiang family.
Master Zhu also said that Luo Siheng was after something from the Jiang family... What exactly is it that so many people are coveting?
Just then, Ling Siye's reply came through the earpiece.
"Only the weak need that, but I, Ling Siye, do not."
After speaking, Ling Siye went upstairs.
Jiang Huan could clearly see the surprise and doubt of Qin Wenyan and the other two from the surveillance footage.
It seems they all believe that the other is at the Jiang family's house for that thing.
What exactly is that thing...?
Having thought this through, she got up, intending to go out and stop Ling Siye from returning to his room.
But as soon as she reached the door, she hesitated.
What if Ling Siye is also lying?
After hesitating for a moment, she decided to ask Butler Wang.
As the steward who had been by his grandfather's side the longest and was the one he trusted the most, Wang was the best candidate to answer.
Jiang Huan returned to bed, glanced at the three people on the monitor, and then began investigating what had happened between them.
She hadn't investigated them thoroughly before, but now that Ling Siye had spoken, she felt she should investigate even more deeply to avoid overlooking anything.
Soon, she found out that Cheng Siqi was indeed as Ling Siye had said. Back in Yanjing, he frequented brothels and spent all his time surrounded by beautiful women, except when he was doing his job.
However, after arriving in Nancheng, Cheng Siqi never had any contact with other girls again.
Whether it was for her sake, we do not know.
But she knew that Cheng Siqi was not as affectionate and devoted as she had imagined.
Li Huaichuan is indeed indifferent to women; his only concern is his business empire, and he is single-mindedly focused on managing it well.
But as she delved deeper into her investigation, she discovered that his empire harbored darkness, an existence that could not be brought into the light.
Of course, no businessman is without cunning.
As for Qin Wenyan...
The young master of the Qin family, a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, is also the best candidate to become the future head of the Qin family. He has always been dedicated to studying medicine and often travels around to treat patients.
It doesn't seem like there's a big problem...
She couldn't believe that these three people had come to the Jiang family's house with premeditation.
Because once it's confirmed, it would prove that Grandpa had a problem with his judgment of people.
She believed her grandfather wasn't the kind of person whose eyesight was failing, so she thought there must be some unavoidable reason behind it all...
That's it!
Let's ignore them for now, just be on guard.
After all, her enemies now aren't the three of them!
After thinking it over, Jiang Huan got up, called Butler Wang, and arranged a time and place to meet.
There are many things that are inconvenient to say at the Jiang family's house, so it's better to arrange to meet outside.
……
23:30
Jiang Huan appeared in a small alley in the south of the city, wearing a black hooded casual outfit.
She wore a mask, and apart from her eyes, delicate neck, and slender fingers, the rest of her body was completely covered, so no one could tell who she was.
In a corner of the alley, Butler Wang had been waiting for quite some time.
"Old Wang."
This time, Jiang Huan didn't call him "Butler Wang" directly, and he still used a "young man's voice".
Upon hearing the voice, Butler Wang looked up, seemingly incredulous: "Young...Master."
It was Jiang Huan who requested this arrangement; in public, she was his 'young master,' not his 'fifth young lady.'
He just didn't expect that the Fifth Miss would be able to use a voice imitation.
Really great!
At this time, Butler Wang was also in disguise; you wouldn't recognize him unless you got close.
“Young Master, the surrounding area has been cleared. There is no one else here, and there are no cameras. You can speak to me with peace of mind.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan nodded: "Well done, no wonder you were trained by Grandpa."
"Thank you for your kind words, young master. May I ask what brings you here?"
"I want to know what the Jiang family is hiding that so many people are eyeing."
Butler Wang was taken aback, and a vague guess formed in his mind: "I... don't know what the young master is asking about."
“Today, a problem occurred at one of the construction sites under the Qian Group. When I went to resolve it, I discovered that people from the Xuandu Temple were causing trouble there, setting up a Ten Thousand Ghosts Converging on the Evil Array. It seemed to be targeting the Qian Group, but it was actually aimed at the Jiang family. The Taoist priest from Xuandu Temple said that it was ordered by the young master of the Golden Wind Hall,” Jiang Huan said.
After hearing this, Butler Wang's expression changed drastically: "Is the Fifth...Young Master injured?"
Hearing that his first concern was for her, Jiang Huan became even more certain that Butler Wang would never harm her and was loyal to the Jiang family.
"I'm fine." Jiang Huan shook her head. "You don't seem surprised or curious about Xuandu Temple and Jinfeng Hall, so you must know about them?"
Butler Wang pursed his lips, lowered his eyes in silence for a moment, then raised his eyes and nodded: "Jin Feng Tang has been targeting the Jiang family for a long time. At that time, young master, you were still young, and it was only through the intervention of the old master that it was suppressed. We thought it had calmed down, but Jin Feng Tang has not given up..."
Jiang Huan then learned about it from Butler Wang.
When I was just old enough to understand things, Jin Fengtang was already eyeing the Jiang family's possessions.
At that time, Luo Ping, the head of Jin Feng Tang, thought that the Jiang family was just a military family, which was why they received such high respect and protection.
Luo Ping believed that without the protection of the state, the Jiang family would be no match for them, so he headed straight for that thing.
As a result, her grandfather broke one of her legs, and Jin Fengtang was also wiped out by an unknown force.
Because he first provoked the Jiang family and was then targeted by an unknown force, Luo Ping believed that this was another strength of the Jiang family, so he restrained himself, went quiet, and gradually faded out of the Jiang family's sight.
After listening, Jiang Huan's eyes sharpened, and she asked, "So, what exactly is that thing?"
