Chapter 129: 116 Troublesome Elder Brother, Surprise Inspection Scared Jiangjiang Silly (2nd Update) Chapter 129: 116 Troublesome Elder Brother, Surprise Inspection Scared Jiangjiang Silly (2nd Update) Inside the police station The eyewitnesses were being questioned on the scene, while Tang Wan and others were taken to the police station. When the police arrived, they saw the situation and, despite knowing things were not simple with the presence of Tang Wan and Lun Huiru, their first question was, “Was there a car accident?” The He Family and the Tang Family had private grievances, but these were not matters the police could intervene in. As long as no laws were broken and it was merely a car accident, it would naturally be handled by the traffic police and the insurance company. Nobody wanted to get involved in the murky waters between these two families. However, the man standing to the side directly stated: “Murder!” The corners of the policeman’s mouth twitched violently. Alright then— Take them all away! ** There were surveillance cameras in the parking lot, and with the questioning of eyewitnesses, the factual evidence was very clear. The police still needed to question Tang Wan and the others. Everyone was separated for individual interviews and statements. After Tang Wan’s questioning concluded, a female officer escorted her to the rest area, “Miss Tang, please have a seat inside for a moment, and wait a little while.” Tang Wan nodded, knowing that the police had procedures to follow, but she paused as she entered the rest area. Jiang Yanting was also there. His chauffeur was standing to the side and politely greeted her upon her entrance. Tang Wan smiled and nodded to him, then turned to Jiang Yanting, “Second Master Jiang, thank you for today.” “Don’t mention it.” Tang Wan chose a chair and sat down, leaving two seats between them, which made him raise his eyebrows slightly. Did she need to sit so far away? As he got up, Tang Wan also quickly stood up, eliciting a side glance from him – it seemed this young lady was... somewhat afraid of him. Jiang Yanting said nothing, walking over to the water dispenser, he took a paper cup, filled it with warm water, and passed it to her, “You seem very nervous, a drink might make you feel more comfortable.” He was tall and imposing, and his presence made Tang Wan feel incredibly small yet also overwhelmed. “Thank you.” Tang Wan avoided his hand, taking the paper cup with great care. After both sat back down, the atmosphere was inevitably awkward due to their unfamiliarity. Tang Wan held the cup in her hands and took a sip of water before glancing to the man beside her, “Second Master Jiang, when did you arrive in Pingjiang? You didn’t give any notice.” “This morning.” “Did you specifically come here?” Tang Wan felt that she should say something to him, but she truly didn’t know what to talk about. “Mhm.” “I still have to thank you for today, I didn’t expect you to be nearby...” “Coincidence.” ... Tang Wan gritted her teeth, would you dare to say more than two words! Jiang Yanting was not a man of many words to begin with. If it was a business partner, conversation could circulate around deals; if it was a friend, they could engage in discussions, but his experience with talking to women was limited. If it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have bothered. But thinking that it was someone Xiaowu liked, and possibly a future relative, creating too awkward an atmosphere wouldn’t be good. He turned to look at Tang Wan, “The weather in Pingjiang isn’t very good today.” Tang Wan: “...” The driver standing aside coughed twice. “Well... I need to use the restroom.” Tang Wan said as she walked out. After the door closed, Jiang Yanting raised his eyebrows, had he scared her off? ** While Tang Wan was in the restroom, Jiang Jinsang happened to arrive, moving briskly as he entered the rest area, only to see his older brother holding a paper cup of tea, “Brother, where’s Wanwan?” “I was the one hit by the car, don’t you care about me at all?” “The report said there were no casualties.” Jiang Jinsang was not indifferent to his older brother, but he had already received the news that only the rear light of the car was damaged and no one was hurt, “Or are you...” “I am physically fine, but my spirit has suffered a great trauma. Right now, I’m in desperate need of love?” Jiang Yanting chuckled lightly, “If it weren’t for you, would I need to risk my life like this?” “Thank you.” “Be a bit nicer to me. She just said she was going to the restroom, she should be back soon. Sit down and wait.” “Why are you here?” Jiang Jinsang sat next to him. “From the tone of your voice, it seems you’re not too eager to see me?” Jiang Yanting scrutinized him and, seeing that his complexion was good, he felt somewhat relieved, “Mom said you guys were a group of the old, weak and diseased, so she sent me to pick you up.” “You didn’t refuse?” “If I could have resisted, would I be here?” “What exactly happened with the incident?” Jiang Jinsang only knew the general details, not the specifics. Jiang Yanting explained to him, “...I initially thought that woman had a mental problem, but when the car was coming at us, if she truly were mentally ill and driven to that state of frenzy, she definitely would have just crashed into us.” “The fact that she knew to adjust the steering wheel and was still afraid of dying indicates she was pretending to be stupid, not truly insane.” “Be careful she might use her alleged mental issues to escape guilt.” “Don’t worry, she won’t get away.” Jiang Jinsang rubbed his fingers lightly together. His eyes were heavy and brimming with lethal intent. “How is Jiangjiang doing? Still obedient?” “He’s doing his homework now.” Little did they know that at this moment, Jiangjiang was hugging a tablet, playing Super Mario. ... Tang Wan returned, and, seeing Jiang Jinsang there, the entire person inexplicably relaxed. The police also informed them they could leave. Since Jiang Yanting’s car was damaged, and Jiang Jinsang wouldn’t allow Tang Wan to drive alone at this time, the three of them could only get into one car... But there were four seats, and apart from Jiang Cuo in the driver’s seat, it wasn’t easy to allocate the spaces. “Um, I...” It’s the brother duo, so Tang Wan definitely volunteered proactively, ready to take the passenger seat, but Jiang Yanting moved faster, pulling open the car door, getting in, and closing it. His movements as smooth as flowing clouds, completing the action in one go. “Get in,” Jiang Jinsang helped Tang Wan open the door, forcing her to get in. No one talked much during the ride, creating an inevitably awkward atmosphere. “Xiaowu, do Dad and Grandpa know about this?” Tang Wan inquired. Xiaowu? The person sitting in the passenger seat slightly raised an eyebrow, the form of address had changed. “They don’t know yet.” There weren’t many people in the parking lot, so the news hadn’t spread very fast. “Hmm.” Tang Wan nodded, then bowed her head to message Tang Yunxian. She merely informed him of Jiang Yanting’s arrival in Pingjiang. ** Tang Family Old Residence The old man was about to go to Beijing soon and couldn’t bear to leave his elderly friends who enjoyed playing chess and teasing birds with him in the small park every day, so he went out for a stroll to bid them farewell. Tang Yunxian, on the other hand, was dealing with business at the company. Therefore, the Tang family members were all absent. When she saw Jiang Yanting arrive, Chen Ma warmly invited him inside, “Please have a seat and some tea while I immediately call the old man.” “There’s no need to inform him specifically; I’d like to go see Jiangjiang first.” “Jiangjiang is in the East Courtyard, I’ll take you there.” Tang Wan was exceptionally polite towards him, and seeing that he was holding a bag of children’s snacks from Yiyu Tea House, she couldn’t help but give him a sidelong glance. It seemed like he was quite fond of children. The three of them headed to the East Courtyard. Jiang Jinsang chuckled lightly, “Coming over so suddenly, are you planning to give Jiangjiang a surprise?” “This kid is wild. If it wasn’t for a surprise inspection, how could I possibly know what he’s up to?” ... None of them were heavy-footed, so there was hardly any noise as they reached the courtyard. Jiangjiang had no idea his father was here; he was at this moment sitting cross-legged on a chair, his fingers swiping non-stop across a tablet, thoroughly engrossed in his game. When Tang Wan was about to push the door open, Jiang Yanting held up his hand to stop her. He didn’t go inside but instead moved to the side of a window. Jiangjiang was playing happily, continually tapping the screen and showing it to a Jiang family member beside him, “Look, I won again!” Little did he know... At that moment, a figure unexpectedly peered through the window. The Jiang family member, being vigilant, noticed immediately, pupils slightly dilated, his face turning pale with fright. He instinctively wanted to warn Jiangjiang but was silenced by a cold glare from Jiang Yanting. All he could do was cough uncomfortably in a low voice. “Hey, let me tell you, this level is particularly tough. Oh no—what a pity, I didn’t get the mushroom that makes you big.” “Cough—” The person on the side coughed again, trying not to make too much noise. “What time is it now? Shouldn’t Second Uncle be coming back...” Jiangjiang, also tense while playing the game, hit the pause button and suddenly looked up at him. “Uncle, could you please do me a favor and keep a lookout at the door? If Second Uncle comes back, run back here and tell me right away! Is that okay?” Jiangjiang finished speaking, feeling rather clever. “Cough—” The person coughed again. “What’s wrong with you...” Jiangjiang furrowed his brow, “Got phlegm in your throat?” The man had a face full of frustration, making exaggerated faces at him! “Got phlegm stuck in your throat? Does it feel very uncomfortable?” Jiangjiang asked, puzzled, “Or are you having diarrhea and need the bathroom?” “Ugh—” His eyes glanced towards the window. Finally, Jiangjiang noticed and looked over, his hand slipping, the tablet falling. It somehow hit something and the game restarted, accompanied by a crisp, pleasant game background sound... Game over. Jiang Yanting smiled at him. Jiangjiang was so scared he nearly fell off his chair. He quickly gathered his legs and sat up straight. His heart was pounding, nearly scared out of his wits. His little face, which was flushed with excitement from the game, was now stark white. When he came through the door, bringing a draft of cold air with him, Jiangjiang felt a chill all over. In a panic, he hid all his unfinished homework under other books. Tang Wan pursed her lips. This kind of surprise tactic was just like back in school when the homeroom teacher suddenly appeared at the window! Even if you weren’t distracted during class, turning your head to see would still scare you witless! Truly a devil. “Dad, you’re here!” Jiangjiang leaped off the chair and lunged towards him. Jiang Yanting bent down and expertly supported his little behind, hoisting him up, “Seems like you’ve gained weight.” Jiangjiang laughed guiltily. It was evident that the boy was living it up in Pingjiang. Without other children in the Tang family, and with nothing else for Old Tang to do, he took him around alleys and streets, indulging in all kinds of eats and entertainments. How could he not have gained weight? “Your Second Uncle said you were doing homework, so why are you playing games?” “I...” Jiangjiang was still a child. Having been scared out of his wits just now, no matter how clever he was, he couldn’t think of a way to handle the situation on the spot. But someone directly said, “You can’t just do homework every day; it’s very important to balance work and play.” “Yeah, balance work and play.” Jiangjiang was too young to hide his feelings; his face was written all over with two words: Guilty! Seeing his father bring up balancing work and play, he smiled so obsequiously, hoping that the current crisis could be safely resolved. How could his little schemes escape Jiang Yanting’s eyes? The next thing he said completely dumbfounded Jiangjiang. “So if you’re playing a game, you must have nearly finished your homework. Let me check it in a while.” Jiangjiang smiled; that little expression was even more pitiful than crying.
