1775 Second Uncle Jiang Was Beaten Up and Hospitalized
âSheâs fine for now.â Jiang Zongnan walked back to the living room and picked up his coat, then turned to Jiang Yao and said, âI have something to do. Take care of the house.â
Jiang Yao vaguely felt uneasy. He grabbed his wrist and frowned. âWhere are you going? Iâll go with you.â
Jiang Zongnan looked at him deeply and pulled his hand away, then said, âIâm just going out for a while. Donât think too much. Stay at home and take care of your mother.â
Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He looked at him with sharp eyes and hesitated for a moment before saying, âDad, I just heard the person on the other end of the phone mention Qiao Nianâs name. Theyâ¦â
âThis has nothing to do with Nian Nian!â Jiang Zongnan immediately interrupted him sternly. His refined and wise eyes, which had been honed by time, stared at him for a moment before he retracted his gaze and said slowly, âThis is our familyâs matter, to begin with. It has nothing to do with her. Donât involve her.â
âButâ¦â Jiang Yao was still a little worried.
âNo buts. Iâm going out for a while. Iâll call you if thereâs any news.â Jiang Zongnan insisted. Then, he took his car keys and walked out.
Jiang Yao had no choice but to watch him disappear from the villaâs entrance.
Soon, the sound of Jiang Zongnanâs car could be heard from outside.
Jiang Yao stood rooted to the ground for a long time. Then, he walked to the second floor and took out his phone. He said to his mother, âMom, Iâll go upstairs and call Young Master Xu.â
âGo on.â
Tang Wanruâs heart was filled with the good news that Jiang Xianrou was fine for now. She did not pay much attention to him and waved her hand, indicating for him to go up.
Jiang Yao glanced at her before walking to the study on the second floor and calling Xu Jinshen.

Qiao Nian received a call from Qin Si at ten the following day.
She had just woken up and taken a cold shower.
Qiao Nian walked over impatiently, picked up her charging phone, and answered his call.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She heard Qin Siâs anxious voice on the other end of the phone before she could say anything. âSister Qiao, where are you?â
Qiao Nianâs eyelashes fluttered as she turned down the volume and said calmly, âRhine.â
Qin Si said without missing a beat, âChange your clothes. Iâm coming to pick you up.â
It was rare for him to be so anxious. She couldnât help but raise her eyebrows and ask, âWhatâs wrong?â
Qin Si was silent for a moment before he said probingly, âSecond Uncle Jiang was beaten up and sent to the hospital. I heard that three of his ribs were broken. Fortunately, the police arrived in time. Otherwise, I donât know what would have happened to him. Itâs said that it was Xu Jishen who called the police. Yesterday, Second Uncle Jiang received a mysterious call and went out alone. Jiang Yao was worried and called Xu Jishen. Xu Jishen used his connections to locate Second Uncle Jiangâs phone. Only then did the police find him in an abandoned factoryâ¦
âHe was already unconscious when they found him. The police didnât find any suspicious people around. They might have heard the news and run away in advance.â
Qin Si didnât expect such a thing to happen in the capital.
The Jiang family was not very impressive in Beijing, but they were at least in the circle.
The circle was the circle because relationships were complicated. As long as someone could get into the circle, they more or less had some connections.
