538 Doubt

Jiang Xin only stopped when they reached a small hill.

This place was already very remote, but there were street lamps that barely illuminated the surroundings, so the two of them did not get out of the car.

“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Jiang Xin asked, but she had a faint guess.

Bai Lian had been sent to prison four years ago for intentional murder. If this person was here for Bai Lian, it was nothing more than to help her get out of prison. If that were the case, Jiang Xin would not agree easily.

The woman seemed to understand Jiang Xin’s thoughts and the corners of her lips curled up. “The conditions aren’t difficult.” Then, she leaned forward and whispered into Jiang Xin’s ear.

Jiang Xin’s expression also changed with the woman’s words. From the initial disdain and coldness, it gradually became hesitation and shock.

“Is it really feasible?” Jiang Xin turned to look at the woman and asked suspiciously, “If it fails, the consequences are not something you and I can bear. I don’t want to harm myself because of this.”

“Miss Jiang, don’t worry. This has nothing to do with Miss Jiang. I did it alone.” How could the woman not understand what Jiang Xin was thinking? After all, everyone had their own selfish motives, but she could no longer find anyone to help her. She finally had an idea after seeing the news a few days ago.

After receiving the woman’s assurance, Jiang Xin felt more relieved. “But I still can’t completely trust you. After all, you’re a complete stranger to me.”

The woman in front of her was different from the masked man. When facing the masked man, Jiang Xin was a little afraid. Even though the two of them were working together as equals, it caused her to still not know what the masked man looked like.

However, the woman in front of her completely had a favor to ask of her, so she did not need to worry about anything.

The woman looked at Jiang Xin for a long time with her eyes hidden under the brim of her hat before she slowly took off her hat and revealed her face.

The dim streetlights were not bright, and Jiang Xin could only barely see clearly. However, after looking, she still had no clue about this person.

“Miss Jiang, you don’t have to be in a hurry to get to know me. The Jing Family will hold a family gathering next Saturday. You’ll know then.” The woman was not afraid of Jiang Xin’s probing at all. She met her gaze openly and smiled faintly. “I hope Miss Jiang can arrive at the venue too.”

With that, the woman pulled on her cloak again and hid herself in the darkness.

Jiang Xin frowned and kept thinking about the relationship between this woman and the Jing Family, but she couldn’t figure it out.

…

Two to three days later, everything was calm. Jiang Xin was determined not to let Jing Chen and Su Wan find evidence, so there was no news. The Su Corporation was busy with the company’s operations and did not seem to have the time to pay attention to the Jiang Corporation.

Su Wan naturally believed that Su Jing and Li Hui wouldn’t hide it from her, but logically speaking, they should have been able to find out something about Jiang Xin. Now, it was as if they had predicted their choice in advance and wiped away all traces.

Su Wan immediately felt nervous. With Jiang Xin’s brain, she definitely wouldn’t be able to do these things, so the source of everything was still the person behind Jiang Xin.

Who was this person?

Su Wan felt as if she had fallen into a conspiracy, making her have no choice but to be careful.

That person was so biased towards Jiang Xin. If Jiang Xin liked Jing Chen, it was definitely not just to fulfill Jiang Xin and Jing Chen’s wishes. They must want something from Jiang Xin.

Su Wan rubbed her temples in frustration, feeling a headache.

Recently, Qin Lan had been busy preparing for the family gathering and smiled happily every day.

But as Su Wan watched, she felt a little uneasy, as if something big was about to happen, but she couldn’t tell what it was.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the family gathering. Another group of people gathered in the same hotel banquet hall.

Actually, not everyone from the Jing Family was present at Jing Chen’s birthday banquet last time. This time, there were especially many people, which surprised them.

Su Ye and his wife were brought to the hotel by Li Hui early on. Jing Chen, Su Wan, and Jing Yu were also waiting at the entrance of the hotel.

When they arrived, before they got out of the car, Jing Yu and Jing Hao could not wait to break free from their parents’ hands and run forward. “Grandpa, Grandma!”
