Chapter 1446: Chapter 830: Is Sister Xiaolu Being Targeted? Fraternal Harmony in the Jiang Family? (4 Updates)

Nanjiang

Si Qingxiao bought a plane ticket for the night flight back to Beijing. Since Jiang Chengsi was a key person of interest for the police, she didn’t let him take her to the airport and asked Assistant Yuan to stay behind to keep an eye on him.

She was constantly worried that Jiang Chengsi, upon receiving some news or realizing who was involved in the entire matter, would recklessly dash back to Beijing.

Just before boarding, she called Jiang Chengsi and again instructed Assistant Yuan to keep watch over him.

"Rest assured, I won’t leave his side," Assistant Yuan replied.

"What is he doing now?"

"He’s at the Yan Family’s." This was something that Si Qingxiao specifically requested Mr. Yan to oversee before she left, making her feel a bit more at ease.

"How is he feeling?"

Assistant Yuan glanced at the person not far away, "Sir Four is playing with Mr. Xiaoyan in a children’s fishing pool, you know, the kind of educational toy with a magnetic fishing rod."

"..."

Si Qingxiao honestly felt she was worrying for nothing. Someone’s self-regulation abilities were as strong as a cockroach’s.

Even Assistant Yuan was dumbfounded, with all the chaos in Beijing, even he felt anxious, yet the person involved still had the energy to entertain children.

And the person’s reasoning was quite justified:

"I’m just diverting my attention, relieving anxiety, otherwise, I might not be able to control myself and rush back home."

Beijing, Police Station

After being questioned, Geng Dong left, and two policemen stood by the window upstairs, watching him drive away.

"Does this matter have anything to do with Geng Dong? Although currently, he is very suspicious, if it’s really him, the logic doesn’t quite make sense."

"If it were him, he could have easily found someone to do this, and leaving himself exposed to being caught, being so brazen, everyone at the bar saw him that day. If anything happened, he’d be an open target, he’s not that stupid."

"So the whole thing is very strange." The police felt the pressure, "The narcotics unit might have to follow up on this matter, and we have no idea how it will end."

Police investigations require evidence; currently, they have nothing, mere suspicion is of no use.

The entire affair involves too many parties, with outside scrutiny, they need to proceed with extreme caution at every step.

"Give a heads-up to the police over in Nanjiang, have Sir Four come back once."

The police need bold assumptions, and verification.

Meanwhile, Geng Dong came out of the police station completely bewildered.

During the questioning, the police showed him photos taken during their search, asking if he had seen the pills and powders, which he naturally denied.

Someone like him, who has been out mingling for so long, lies with such ease.

When the police make arrests, admitting would be the end for him.

Everything was handled cleanly at the time, with no fingerprints or such, but now that they’ve found banned substances, and he was the one who brought them in, once traced to him, he’s done for.

From the moment he harbored ill intentions and took action, he was already entangled.

He was unsure if someone intended to take him down or was using him as a pawn against Jiang Chengsi.

His mind was a mess, and instead of going home, he went out drinking with Yang Yiyi and some friends, hoping the company would calm his nerves.

Yet, unknowingly, the focus of everyone’s discussion still revolved around Jiang Chengsi.

"Brother Dong, I heard the police called you over, what did they ask?"

"Is Four’s matter true? It’s spreading like wildfire outside."

"Yeah, tell us about it."

...

Geng Dong was fuming inside, and upon hearing about Jiang Chengsi, he lost it, picked up a glass and smashed it on the ground, "All of you get the hell out!"

The group left bewildered, aware of his explosive temper, they didn’t dare protest and left the room one by one, "Damn, I thought he called us out to celebrate Four’s downfall, what’s with the sudden rage."

"He’s always unpredictable anyway, who cares, let’s find another place to drink."

"Always seeing Four as a rival, does anyone even regard him as such? Who’s he lashing out at anyway."

The group cursed as they departed, but Yang Yiyi stayed in the room with him, pouring him another drink.

After smashing things and letting off some steam, Geng Dong felt a bit better, turning his head to scrutinize Yang Yiyi, as she was aware of everything when he did what he did.

"Brother Dong, why are you looking at me like that?" Yang Yiyi smiled pleasingly, leaning in close to him.

Geng Dong suddenly found himself ridiculous.

A little sparrow he paid to keep, could she even dare peck at him?

"Nothing." Geng Dong caressed the glass in his hand, "I’m just thinking, who exactly is intent on opposing me."
