Jiang Siyun pointed at the computer, "Aren't I helping you solve it? Don't rush, wait two more minutes. You need to learn to trust your older brother." Jiang Yukuo patted his chest with arrogance.
Jiang Siyun's round eyes glared at him.
She waited two minutes with great patience.
Two minutes later, the video of the banquet was out.
The chaotic scene shocked the brother and sister immensely.
"Heavens," Jiang Siyun exclaimed, looking at "Li Rongyao's" frantic state. "He's just like Li He back then, like he has endless energy and can't be killed no matter how much you fight him."
Jiang Yukuo shivered. He found people like that terrifying.
"Yunyun, if someone like that captured us, I don't think we siblings would be able to defeat them. We'd just be going to our deaths," Jiang Yukuo said truthfully.
They were strong among ordinary people, but in the eyes of such individuals, they were insignificant.
They would only be beaten!
Jiang Siyun looked at him thoughtfully. Seeing genuine fear on his handsome young face, she wondered if he was Mu Jiuchen's son.
That expression didn't match!
The young girl got angry, "Brother, why are you getting more cowardly?"
Jiang Yukuo retorted, "I'm just being realistic."
Jiang Siyun didn't say anything else, feeling it would upset her to the point of insomnia, which she already suffered from.
When they saw a bullet almost hit their mother, both their hearts leaped into their throats.
Watching their father quickly push their mother down, they felt immense gratitude for him.
"Ahhh!" Jiang Yukuo's face turned extremely grim. Which scoundrel almost took their mother's life?
"That was close," Jiang Yukuo patted his chest.
Jiang Siyun's face was also very pale. They wanted to kill their mother.
"Brother, they want to capture us. What do they want to get from Father and Mother?"
Jiang Siyun, always intelligent, recalled that their mother had asked about their whereabouts several times a day, which meant they were in danger.
Jiang Yukuo smiled, a hint of cunning flashing in his large eyes. "What else could it be? Father has money and power. It's either for money or power. This way, I'll tell Mom not to pick us up tomorrow. Let Uncle He take us back, and we'll go back by ourselves. If they really wanted to capture me, they would have been waiting outside already. At that time, let's not resist and see who is targeting us."
"Alright, you can message Mom first thing tomorrow morning," Jiang Siyun said, standing up, feeling drowsy.
Jiang Yukuo looked at his sister's increasingly tall figure and smiled. The young girl was becoming more beautiful, a complete transformation. The once ugly little girl's features had fully bloomed, and she was stunning.
The next morning, as soon as Lin Su woke up, she received her task.
Seeing the task, a strange smile quirked her lips.
Finally, she could seek revenge again.
Jiang Nuan woke up early, finished her morning routine, and planned to pick up the children.
She picked up her phone to call her son, and just as she was about to dial, she saw a message from him.
"Mom, Uncle He is taking us back. You don't need to pick us up."
Jiang Nuan frowned slightly.
Mu Jiuchen leaned over and asked, "Wife, what's wrong? Why are you frowning again?"
"Kuo Bao messaged me, saying He Mingrun is taking them back and we don't need to pick them up."
Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but chuckle, "That's fine too. Mom has made breakfast. Let's go down to eat."
Mu Jiuchen held her hand and they walked downstairs.
Jiang Nuan didn't think much of it. He Mingrun was always dependable and wouldn't cause any trouble.
As they went downstairs for breakfast, Li Zhenting also returned from his morning exercises.
Seeing Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen, he smiled, "Xiao Jiu, Nuan Nuan, come and eat breakfast quickly."
Jiang Nuan felt a bit guilty. She had slept late last night and was supposed to get up and make breakfast.
Seeing He Junshu emerge from the kitchen, she apologized, "Sorry, Mom. I'll get up a little earlier tomorrow."
"What nonsense are you saying? You have a lot of things to do and you're busy every day. Get more sleep in the morning. I have nothing to do, and it makes me happy to cook for you. Go eat breakfast quickly."
"Okay!" Jiang Nuan went to the kitchen to help her bring out the other dishes.
After everyone had breakfast, Mu Jiuchen had to go out. He left with Li Zhenting. After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, he would be busy again.
Jiang Nuan and her mother-in-law cleaned the dishes together. Today, she was going back to be with her grandmother. After the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, they would all be returning.
The Li family wanted to move their business to China and needed Mu Jiuchen's assistance.
Mu Jiuchen also wanted them to be in China so they could look out for each other. His younger brother was always playful, and he didn't expect much from him, as long as he could take good care of their parents.
After He Junshu left, Jiang Nuan waited in the living room for the children to return. She saw a message from Number One saying Li Rongyao was dead.
His body was found in the river by sanitation workers clearing the waterway.
Jiang Nuan was slightly surprised. Li Rongyao was dead.
Jiang Nuan messaged him, asking: "Cause of death?"
Number One: "Respiratory paralysis."
Jiang Nuan understood. People who frequented nightclubs were bound to be caught.
"It seems they are also involved in illegal businesses."
Number One: "J, from all appearances, they are targeting you, Mu Jiuchen, and the Dark Emperor."
Jiang Nuan's lips curved into a cold smile. Why would he think that?
"If they are targeting the Dark Emperor, they are also targeting you. None of us can escape."
Number One: "Isn't that the truth? I've been so annoyed lately. The higher-ups have been putting pressure on us, but we only see what they want us to see. Once we find a lead, it goes cold. The sniper from last night knew nothing, just said they were paid to do it."
Jiang Nuan: "Don't worry, they won't be able to hold on much longer, but you need to be careful."
Number One: "The person who needs to be careful is you. Their target is you. The people are around you. Pay attention."
Jiang Nuan: "Understood."
Jiang Nuan exited the chat window and saw a message from Yun Xia.
Yun Xia: "Nuan Nuan, Yun Qing has a runny nose today. Do you think she caught a cold?"
Jiang Nuan: "Have Yun Qing drink more hot water. If her nose is still runny tonight, break the pill I gave you in half and dissolve it in water for Yun Qing to drink."
Yun Xia: "Okay, Nuan Nuan. I heard you were injured last night. Are you alright?"
Jiang Nuan: "I'm fine, much better."
...
Outside the He family's gate.
Jiang Siyun and Jiang Yukuo, having refused He Mingrun, walked in their respective backpacks towards home.
Jiang Yukuo looked around. Besides the cold wind, there were only fast-moving cars.
He lowered his voice and asked, "Yunyun..."
Jiang Siyun lowered her voice and hissed, "Don't speak, are they here?"
Jiang Yukuo: "So soon? Where?" Their speculation was too accurate.
Jiang Siyun's eyes swept behind them. "The black car behind us..."
Before Jiang Siyun could finish her sentence, a black car sped towards them. Before the siblings could react, they were scooped up by their waists.
"Bang..." The car door was slammed shut forcefully.
