Chapter 321 Finding Jiang Yan's Hometown
Chapter 321 Finding Jiang Yan's Hometown
After confirming that there were no problems, Song Qianyi tidied her clothes and went out.
Seeing Jiang Yan's nervous expression, she smiled reassuringly and patted her on the shoulder.
"Thank you so much for today, otherwise I would definitely have been scolded by my elders."
Song Qianyi calmly bid her farewell, as if she really had something very urgent to deal with.
When I got home, I received a call from Song Qianyu, who inquired about the progress of the investigation into the speech accident.
"Does my sister need my help?"
"No need, you just need to stay home and rest well during your pregnancy. I've made progress, but let's keep this from our parents for now, so they don't worry."
Hearing his words, Song Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, thinking the same thing. Fortunately, the matter back then didn't escalate, otherwise, who knows what the situation would be now.
That afternoon, Ji Jingshen brought Sui Sui to the Song family's old house. Seeing her parents sitting on the sofa playing with their child happily, Song Qianyi felt very warm inside. She noticed Song Qianyu next to her looking somewhat envious.
"It's been so long since then, have you thought about finding another man? That way it would be easier for you to take care of him. I can ask Ji Jingshen to keep an eye out for you."
Song Qianyu was somewhat surprised, but she still refused. All she wanted to do now was live a good life with her child. Whether or not she had a partner didn't matter much to her at the moment.
To be precise, she can live a good life on her own.
Seeing this, Song Qianyi did not insist any further. That evening, she stayed home with her parents and had dinner before returning home.
Not long after he had put Sui Sui to sleep, Ji Jingshen received a call from his subordinate.
"The bugging device the boss installed earlier is now active."
Ji Jingshen's eyes were icy cold. He immediately sent someone with equipment to the apartment. The moment he put on the headphones, he clearly heard Jiang Yan's voice inside.
She seemed to be reporting her recent situation to a man, and it wasn't hard to hear the hatred in her tone.
"Let's not contact each other for now. Song Qianyi may have found out something."
The woman's tone was sinister.
"How would I know? What happened last time couldn't have been exposed. Don't interfere in my affairs. You should mind your own business first! I will make Song Qianyi and the others pay the price."
Song Qianyi and the other person sat on the sofa and listened quietly to the playback of the recording, their eyes filled with a hint of confusion.
She had never met Jiang Yan before, so why did she harbor such deep hatred for her, even extending to Ji Jingshen?
"Have you found out who the person who called her was?"
"Not yet. It's an international call, and we need a little more time."
Upon hearing this, Ji Jingshen frowned. The first person he suspected was Andrei, but there was no evidence yet.
However, judging from Jiang Yan's tone, she seemed quite familiar with the two of them. The man's long, slender fingers tapped incessantly on the table, and after a long while, he said:
"Go and investigate her background, from birth to the present, not a single year should be missed."
The secretary hurriedly pulled out a document from the files next to her. "This was checked by our people before. It looks very clean. It's obvious that someone has taken care of it."
"The only way to find out the truth is to go and investigate on-site."
The living room fell silent. Song Qianyi carefully reviewed the documents on the table and found that there were indeed no loopholes; they were perfect without a single error.
Jiang Yan had always been a good child, but when she went to college, something happened to her family, leaving her all alone. The story of how she worked odd jobs to raise money was exactly the same as what she had told before.
"What are you thinking about?"
Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Ji Jingshen asked softly.
"I want to go to Jiang Yan's hometown in the countryside to do some research."
It's a remote county town, where technology isn't as advanced as here. Perhaps we can find the truth there.
Ji Jingshen agreed with her idea and went there with his men the next day.
Seeing a luxury car parked at the village entrance, the villagers came out curiously to see what was going on.
Such important figures are not even seen on TV. Could it be that someone in their village is about to become rich?
People were talking about whether the village would be expanded and whether they would receive money.
After all, this is the foundation of their lives.
"Jiang Yan's house is the third house in the second row from the front."
The secretary had already sent people to investigate. Several people went over and found that the place had been uninhabited for a long time; even the locks on the doors were rusty.
"What are you people doing here?"
An elderly neighbor from across the street came out to throw out the trash and saw a group of strangers standing at her door. They all looked like wealthy people, so she became a little wary.
"Hello, we would like to ask what the name of the person living here is?"
Song Qianyi politely stepped forward to greet her, but was impatiently pushed away by the old woman.
I thought there was some gossip going on, but it turns out she just came to ask for directions. What a waste of her time.
Song Qianyi staggered back two steps, but the man behind her caught her in time. "Don't be impulsive."
Song Qianyi pressed down on the man's hand, took a deep breath, and stepped forward. This time, she held a stack of red banknotes in her hand.
"We just wanted to understand the situation, please don't misunderstand, ma'am."
The old woman's eyes lit up when she saw the wad of money in her hand. She quickly wiped her hands on her clothes, carefully took the money, and counted it. It was a full thousand yuan.
What a generous act.
When she looked up again, a fawning smile was on her face.
"I'm so sorry about that. I was in a hurry to take out the trash and accidentally pushed you. Are you alright? Why don't you come to my place for a drink of water? I'll cook lunch for you. Feel free to ask me anything!"
Song Qianyi and Ji Jingshen exchanged a glance and said, "Do you know Jiang Yan? She's the family that lives across the street from you. Who's in their family?"
Upon hearing this, the old woman's smile became somewhat stiff, and she stammered, unsure of what to say. Seeing this, Song Qianyi glanced at the secretary beside her, who quickly understood her meaning and stepped forward to take the money back from the old woman's hand, but was dodged by the secretary.
"What are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't tell you."
Seeing that they were serious, the old woman finally calmed down completely.
"There was an older sister who lived across the hall, but she never came back to live there after she went to university. Nobody knows what happened to the two sisters outside."
Her tone was tinged with bitterness. "It's just a university. What's so great about it? Her son will be taking the college entrance exam in two years. He'll definitely go to the city to make a lot of money then."
Do you have any photos of them?
"This... I really don't. After all, I'm not the owner of this house, just a tenant. I guess the landlord knows that."
"But my landlady has a terrible temper, she's always..."
The old woman looked troubled as she spoke.
