Chapter 949: Interrogation
Old Madam Jiang had been a troublemaker in her early years. Otherwise, how could she have the ability to maintain her position when her husband clearly wanted to divorce his wife and remarry?
Other than her ability to lead a female army, few people would be able to go up against her.
It was also because of this reason that Old Madam Jiang did not have a good relationship with Old Master Jiang, nor did she have a good relationship with many families.
The main reason was that the reputation of this shrew back then was too well-known. Now, when she heard that someone wanted to take her grandson, and it could even be said that he was the most promising one of the third generation of the Jiang family, or even the only one, how could she agree to it?
She called for a halt, even when she clearly knew that she was in the wrong. What she wanted was for everyone to be absolutely obedient to her, just like how they had been obedient and respectful for so many years.
It was just that Old Madam Jiang was really used to being the empress dowager. In the past, everyone would give her some face because the old lady had not done anything all these years. Moreover, Jiang Haoting was also a person with real ability.
But now, it was obvious that the Jiang family’s position was not secure, and even the Jiang family could not gain the slightest bit of justice. Yet, everyone still had to support her? This was taking advantage of her seniority.
“Take him away. A prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that he’s only an active-duty soldier.”
“Chen ***, you don’t even listen to this old woman’s words?”
“Old lady, this is a national matter, not a private matter. With so many people watching, do you think I’ve wronged him? If Jiang Wenyi didn’t do anything, what are you worried about, old lady? It’s just to cooperate with the investigation.”
It sounded nice, cooperating with the investigation. Once he entered the investigation bureau, even if there were no problems and he was released, his future path would be stalled for at least a few years.
Moreover, today, the Kong family was clearly going to touch Jiang Wenyi. The Kong family’s influence in the military was not even comparable to the Jiang family. Back then, their two families were in-laws, so naturally, no one challenged the Jiang family. However, it was clear that the relationship between the two families had gone wrong. Moreover, a Kong family junior had died. It was impossible for them not to make a scene today.
“You, no one is allowed to touch my grandson. My grandson is not so stupid to sleep with someone even though he knows that there is a dead person in the room. Isn’t there a woman? Ask her! What exactly is going on?”
Old Madam Jiang could only try to delay as much as possible, hoping that her grandson could think of a way.
However, they had prepared too well. Before Jiang Wenyi was drugged, he had really fought with someone, and it was in the room.
At that time, Bai Wei was so scared that she couldn’t say anything. She covered her head and hid to the side. At this time, when she heard the old lady’s words, she could only tell the truth:
“I don’t know. I only know that Wenyi had a fight with someone, and that person seemed to have been beaten away. Then, Brother Jiang and I, we…”
Old Madam Jiang was so angry that she was furious. This d*mn girl, wasn’t she trying to kill Wenyi by talking like this? Where did this idiot come from?
However, it wasn’t just the Jiang family who heard this. Everyone heard it.
Kong Fang said again,”You heard it. Jiang Wenyi got into a fight with someone. Who else could it be but my Third Nephew?”
“But that girl said that that person ran away.”
“Girl, let me ask you, did that person run away?”
These words were asked by Jiang Shuixian. Jiang Shuixian looked at Bai Wei, her eyes fixed on her. There was even a hint of warning in her eyes, but Bai Wei was already scared out of her wits. She could only say,”He really left. I saw him leave.”
“Then did you hear the sound of the door opening and closing?”
“I, I, I didn’t know. At that time, Brother Jiang and I were already — already –”
“Then did you see that person’s face?”
“No, I didn’t see it.”
Kong Fang and Jiang Shuixian spoke one sentence at a time as they asked Bai Wei. However, Bai Wei had already been bombarded by them until she was on the verge of breaking down. These tears had long flowed down her face. If you were to ask one more question at a time like this, you would be an extremely evil demon.
This time, Jiang Wenyi didn’t clear his name. Instead, they were even more certain. She only said that she didn’t see him and that he had left. This could also be considered as the girl’s excuse for Jiang Wenyi. Who asked this girl to have such a deep relationship with Jiang Wenyi?
“Alright, I’ve already asked most of the questions. Bring these two people down and interrogate them carefully.”
“No, Eldest, we can’t let them take Wenyi away.”
At this moment, Jiang Haoting couldn’t even protect himself. How could he care about Jiang Wenyi? Moreover, Old Master Chen had obviously come prepared.
He said to Jiang Haoting, “Just now, they said that it was Jiang Haoting who dispatched the army. As the president, you should naturally know that you can’t decide on the deployment of the army alone. Moreover, in a place like this, what you did was really inappropriate. Tomorrow, we will convene the Parliament and resolve everything that happened tonight on the surface. All the other unrelated personnel will leave.”
Old Master Chen could be considered to have made a closing statement, and could also be considered to have let off most of the people here. One had to know that if they really wanted to capture all of Jiang Haoting’s people, then China would not be able to turn the situation around tomorrow. There were too many people, and even if they wanted to make a move… They would have to take it slowly. However, now, not only did Jiang Haoting know the name list, but they also knew the name list of the other party.
Moreover, it was obvious that Jiang Haoting was at his wit’s end. There was no way he could stir up any more trouble. He was probably going to be very busy tonight.
“Wait a minute. You haven’t apologized to me yet, and you want to leave so badly?”
Everyone was ready to retreat, but Shen Xiaoxiao had been waiting for the president of the country to apologize to her. It would be strange if she would give up.
Old Master Chen also saw the couple and did not say anything. This Yan Kuan doted on his wife and was very similar to him. If someone had offended his wife, it did not matter who he was. He had to get back at them for her.
Moreover, he had already planned it out since he arrived so late. He would cast the net that should be cast tonight, and he would replace the person that should be replaced. Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the entire China.
“Madam Yan, I’m sorry. I was blind and followed the crowd.”
It was already rare for him to be able to say this. Moreover, Jiang Haoting clearly knew that the situation was over, and the defeated expression on his face was so obvious.
Old Madam Jiang’s heart ached when she saw this, but she knew that there was no other way. On the other hand, Jiang Shuixian would never be able to distinguish the situation. Seeing everyone leave one after another, and seeing her Big Brother being forced into such a state…
She said to Shen Xiaoxiao,”You little girl, you’re too much of a bully. Aren’t you afraid that my Big Brother’s apology will destroy you? Can you take it? Hmph!”
“Jiang Shuixian, I’ll find a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement. Our daughter will stay with me, and the marriage between our two families will be annulled.”
There was no need for Shen Xiaoxiao to make a move. The Xie family already knew how to help solve the problem.
Jiang Shuixian’s attention instantly shifted. She immediately fired at Xie Cenzhou. At this moment, Xie Cenzhou’s heart finally felt like a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders. Although the Xie family would also be affected by this gamble… At the very least, everyone knew that the Xie family and the Jiang family had fallen out with each other.
Although there were some other suspects, they were still able to protect the entire family. It seemed that they could only stagnate for the past few years. It could be considered as resting and recuperating… Once China was stable, they would make their plans.
