Chapter 395 Jiang Ruan Thanks

"This is a side job," Tang Bai quickly explained, "not the formal kind."

"Then let me know after you two meet with your captain," Jiang Ruan said directly.

Tang Bai and Mo Mo agreed.

After the three finished talking, they realized that Old Master Li was still sitting in the living room. His eyes were filled with mixed feelings of guilt as he looked at Jiang Ruan. He opened his mouth but didn't say a word.

After a while.

He then called out to Jiang Ruan, "Ruan girl."

Jiang Ruan's attitude remained unchanged: "Please speak."

"I didn't know Li Chengxuan would do these things." Old Master Li truly hadn't expected it. "I'm sorry."

"You must have been frightened too." Jiang Ruan poured him a cup of hot water, her tone distant. "Go back and rest early. Don't worry about Li Chengxuan's matter."

Old Master Li felt a tightness in his chest.

If he had known how obsessive Li Chengxuan was, he would never have offended Jiang Ruan for him, and instead ruined the already strained relationship.

“I know you hate me.” He seemed to have aged several years in that instant. “But your father is really good to you. He’s been going against me for your sake all this time, collecting evidence everywhere to give you an explanation. It’s okay if you don’t want to go back to the Li family, but can you try to get along with him?”

Now he knows very well that he was wrong both in the past and now.

Since the outcome is already decided, it's better to do my son a favor.

"If there's nothing else, you should go back and rest." Jiang Ruan changed the subject. "The Li family should already know about Li Chengxuan's arrest."

Old Master Li could tell, so he didn't force him: "Okay."

"Tang Bai," Jiang Ruan said in a routine manner, "send Mr. Li out."

"No need to see me off." Old Master Li's spirits were much worse than before. "The car is outside, I'll walk myself. I'm sorry about what happened today. I didn't expect Chengxuan to lay a hand on you."

Jiang Ruan did not reply.

Tang Bai saw the old man out.

Looking at Jiang Ruan's expression, Si Ning told her something: "Don't worry about Li Chengxuan's matter. The evidence that Huo Zhizhou submitted is enough to sentence him to death. Even if the Li family wants to plead for him, it won't work."

"Thank you," Jiang Ruan said.

A hint of doubt flashed across Si Ning's eyes: "Why are you thanking me?"

"Huo Zhizhou found out so much about Li Chengxuan in such a short time, you must have helped him a lot." Jiang Ruan could tell that Si Ning must have helped her find some things online.

"Of course." Si Ning said casually, her short hair giving her the cool look she always had. "My master taught me skills, so I have to do something meaningful."

Jiang Ruan thought for a moment and said, "I'll treat you to dinner."

Si Ning's eyes softened: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan immediately had someone book a restaurant.

After arranging everything, Jiang Ruan thought of the person who had put the most effort into this matter, and after much consideration, she took out her phone and sent him a message: "[Thank you for Li Chengxuan's matter.]"

If it weren't for him, it would have been far too difficult for her to make Li Chengxuan pay the price.

Even now, she is still terrified of what happened before.

The moment the car plunged into the river, all three of them were shocked. Before they could recover, they saw the people on both sides of the river. She never wanted to experience that kind of danger again in her life.

Huo Zhizhou saw the message, turned off his phone after reading it, and looked at Huo Cheng sitting opposite him with a blank expression: "I'll give you one last chance. Did you do what happened to Shan Mu'an?"

Jiang Ruan put her phone down when he didn't reply.

She set aside her evenings to have dinner with Si Ning.

After Li Chengxuan's matter is resolved, the Li family will most likely not target her again. Li Ze is a typical playboy with no schemes or tricks, and she can easily handle any open attacks.

As for the others...

Old Master Li will probably resolve this when he gets back.

In this way, the only danger lies with the Qin family.

Half an hour after Li Chengxuan was taken away by the police, Qin Muchuan received the news. He called Qin Luofeng over and talked to him about it: "Is it true that Li Chengxuan was arrested?"

"Really." Qin Luofeng's expression was no longer as relaxed as before. "Ning Jing is personally leading the team."

Qin Muchuan frowned slightly: "If Ning Jing were to handle this matter, it would be troublesome."

Ning Jing is the young master of the Ning family in Haicheng. Although the Ning family is not as powerful as the four major families, their status is not much different. As a result, he is ruthless when dealing with cases involving wealthy and powerful families.

In other places, you can try to pull some strings and use connections.

There's absolutely no chance for him.

That kid only has the law and justice in his eyes.

"Do you know what will happen to Li Chengxuan in the end?" Qin Muchuan asked.

"The verdict will take some time to process," Qin Luofeng replied. "Based on the information I've gathered, Li Chengxuan's crimes will most likely result in the death penalty."

Qin Muchuan: "?"

Qin Muchuan looked puzzled: "At most, he only hired someone to commit attempted murder, why is he sentenced to death?"

Qin Luofeng raised his eyes and said with a slight parting of his thin lips, "Huo Zhizhou submitted evidence of Li Chengxuan's crimes in advance. We don't know the specifics yet, but our friends at the police station said that there are many charges against him, and he will most likely face the death penalty."

A look of seriousness appeared in Qin Muchuan's eyes.

He had considered many possibilities, but he never expected that Huo Zhizhou could actually push Li Chengxuan to this point.

"Dad," Qin Luofeng had been thinking about this ever since Qin Mo said those things, "can we stop fighting with Jiang Ruan?"

Qin Muchuan's gaze fell on him, and his expression immediately changed: "What did you say?"

Not to fight?

Are we just going to give those things to her for nothing?

Those are their family's things, why should they be given them to her?

“You’ve seen what happened to Li Chengxuan. If we keep fighting, we’ll be the next ones sentenced to death.” Qin Luofeng thought Qin Mo’s words made sense. “You’ve also witnessed Huo Zhizhou’s methods.”

He dared not gamble.

Losing at gambling not only means losing money, but could also cost you your life.

"Don't tell me you're scared," Qin Muchuan said coldly. "We've prepared for so long and planned so much, and you're telling me you're going to back out?"

Qin Luofeng asked directly, "Can you beat Huo Zhizhou?"

Qin Muchuan paused.

"Methods, schemes, abilities, connections," Qin Luofeng said, risking a beating. "You can't compare to him in any of these areas. What will you do if he really wants to mess with us?"

Qin Muchuan's anger flared up instantly.

He also knew very well that what Qin Luofeng said was true; he was indeed inferior to Huo Zhizhou in every way, and in fact, he was very likely to lose in the first move if they really fought.

“I may not be as good as him, but if he really wants our lives, he’ll have to ask your brother if he’s willing.” Qin Muchuan’s confidence always stemmed from this: “Your brother is capable of going up against Huo Zhizhou.”

Qin Luofeng was waiting for him to say, "What if I don't care?"

Qin Muchuan was very confident: "Impossible!"

That kid is usually cold and indifferent, but he won't just stand by and watch if something really happens to his family.

Doesn't he, as the father, understand?
