PFC Chapter 269 Is she Xiaohua??
Chapter 269 Is she Xiaohua??
Ultimately, the Jiang family arranged for Jiang Baishen to be transferred to another hospital that same day, with the Jiang family's private medical team taking over his treatment.
On the way back, Jiang Manxi and Jiang Baishen rode in the same van.
Whether out of concern for her brother or resentment stemming from her own hidden motives, her seemingly unintentional complaints...
"Even if you're going to save someone, think about yourself first, okay? How can you save someone and end up like this? You don't owe her anything..."
"Jiang Manxi!"
Sensing the lingering, inexplicable hostility towards Yilan in his sister's tone, Jiang Baishen lost his temper.
Hearing that he could be so fierce to his younger sister for the sake of a woman, Jiang Manxi's voice rose in response.
"That's right! Do you owe her anything? Are you willing to risk your life for her safety?"
"I owe her!" Jiang Baishen said decisively. "Without her and Xiao Leng, I would have died long ago. Tell me, do I owe her or not?"
Jiang Manxi stared wide-eyed in surprise, seemingly not expecting this answer.
"Huh?" She was stunned. "You mean she and Xiao Leng...?"
What does that mean? She and Xiao Leng saved the brother together?
So...she is...
"Is she Xiaohua??" Jiang Manxi blurted out.
"Yes." Jiang Baishen did not hide anything.
"Holy crap!" Jiang Manxi was stunned...
The next second, she slapped Jiang Baishen violently, causing him to pull on his wound and wince in pain.
This time, Jiang Manxi didn't feel sorry for him at all; she just stood there with her hands on her hips, seething with anger.
"Are you out of your mind?! Doing this again? Every single time?!"
Jiang Baishen rubbed his shoulder where he had been hit, his face full of confusion.
"What's wrong with me?"
"You never make things clear beforehand! Last time you made me leave a bad impression on Xiao Leng, and this time you've made me leave such a bad impression on Sister Xiao Hua! Don't you have a mouth?! Can't you say something beforehand?!"
Jiang Manxi was almost in tears. She had offended the two heroines she admired most since childhood.
Jiang Baishen only realized what was happening at that moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Didn't he say that? I think so.
But she didn't ask, did she?
"Hey? What does your offense against Xiao Leng have to do with me? You were the one who got jealous over that Zeng family kid..."
Jiang Baishen feigned doubt.
"You have to say it!" Jiang Manxi slapped him again, then turned away, crossed her arms, and ignored him.
Who needs an older brother anyway? It's all Mom and Dad's fault.
However, when Zeng Yichen was mentioned, her enthusiasm suddenly cooled down.
Yuan Yamei and Zeng Qian'er are bad people. Zeng Qian'er is even so perverted that she secretly harasses them in various ways.
Just how difficult is his life?
And then there were the questions he asked Xiao Leng in her office that day, and the fleeting sadness in his eyes when she introduced her happy family.
...She clearly noticed it at the time, but because she thought his family seemed happy, she didn't suspect anything.
If only she had noticed back then and cared for him more.

Detention Center, Pingchang District, Beijing City.
Since being imprisoned, Zeng Nian has been unable to contact the outside world.
He was detained in a solitary cell, and apart from the police who brought him meals on time, he could not see anyone else.
He tried to hint to the police to surrender, but they didn't say a word to him.
He could only stare at the room, which had no windows and was completely dark except for the dim light of an incandescent bulb.
He had no idea how many days had passed outside.
He couldn't understand which step he had taken wrong that had led him to this state.
That old bastard Luo Yesheng clearly trusted me the most. I've been his lackey for so many years, how could he even deprive me of a chance to defend myself?
He only imprisoned his wife and shot his son, why should we care about that?
It seems I can no longer rely solely on Luo Yesheng; I need to start looking for a backup plan.
Once he leaves, I need to contact James in Great Britain immediately and transfer all the assets out of the country. I need to make plans as soon as possible.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard footsteps outside.
But this time it was clearly not just two police officers, but a large group of people.
Soon, the door to his room was opened.
Two policemen walked in expressionlessly, and without saying a word, they dragged him to an interrogation chair, locked his hands and feet, and then stepped aside.
"What are you doing?! Let me go!! I was once a general, what makes you think you can treat me like this?"
"The trial process," a man walked in through the door, "requests your cooperation, General."
Zeng Nian recognized the man; he was Li Ang, the leader of the National Supervisory Commission.
A supervisory commission that only investigates serious crimes committed by high-ranking officials generally leaves those who are implicated with a dead end.
Zeng Nian felt as if he had been doused with a bucket of cold water, all his strength draining away. He still tried to argue his case, but his tone was very guilty.
"You...you...what right do you have to lock me up? It's just a family dispute, what gives you the right to treat me like a serious criminal?"
Instead of answering the question, Supervisor Li respectfully looked at the people behind him.
"Answer me!!" Zeng Nian grew increasingly impatient, raising his voice to mask his inner unease.
The next second, the old man slowly walked in, his gaze towards Zeng Nian unfathomable.
"Chief...leader..." Zeng Nian was momentarily flustered, but then a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, and he immediately tried to defend himself.
"Chief! I've been wronged! It's all a misunderstanding! Please believe me!! I've been with you for so many years, you must know what kind of person I am, right?"
Luo Yesheng stared at him coldly, unmoved.
He approached Zeng Nian step by step until he stood in front of him.
"...Chief, I have been loyal to you all these years..." Zeng Nian still wanted to play the emotional card.
"I'll ask you one last time," Luo Yesheng interrupted him, "You really have nothing to tell me?"
Zeng Nian was stunned, and a huge sense of unease immediately enveloped his heart.
"...No...no...you...do you have some misunderstanding about me?"
Hearing this answer, Luo Yesheng was not surprised, but he was still disappointed. He let out a long sigh.
Where exactly is Qi Mu?
That one short sentence drained all the color from Zeng Nian's face.
His whole body began to tremble violently uncontrollably. He tried to suppress it, but to no avail.
Seeing his reaction, Luo Yesheng couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
"I'll ask you one more time, where did you hide Qi Mu?"
Zeng Hou's back was covered in cold sweat that clung to his clothes, and large beads of sweat trickled down his temples.
Could it be that his arrest wasn't because of his family issues, but because of Qi Mu?
How could this be?! How is this possible?!
Why would the leader ask him that? Why would the leader suspect him?
Wait... what exactly does the leader know?
