He Cheng Yi instantly understood why that woman had asked him to chase her earlier.
It was because she knew Madam Jiang was suspicious, and if Madam Jiang were to suspect anyone, it would be him. Everyone in the villa had fainted, yet he was still standing.
"Madam, please listen to me. It really wasn't me. The person who took that gentleman was a woman. It was just dark, and she was wearing a baseball cap, so I couldn't see what she looked like clearly," he explained anxiously. Although he didn't know Madam Jiang's status, her wealth was beyond his wildest dreams.
Every piece of decor in this house was worth tens of millions.
He just wanted to live a good life, not lose his life.
"Hmph!" Madam Jiang snorted and took out her phone to make a call.
"Mobilize the entire city. You must find that person for me. If you fail to find them, you will all go to jail."
After finishing the call, Madam Jiang looked coldly at the anxious He Cheng Yi.
"Slap…" She quickly raised her hand and slapped He Cheng Yi hard.
He Cheng Yi's face turned red, and he looked at Madam Jiang, feeling a surge of humiliation after being slapped twice.
"Madam Jiang, why don't you believe what I'm saying? What I said is true," He Cheng Yi argued loudly.
Madam Jiang looked at the dispirited bodyguard and said, "Tell me, what did you see just now?"
The bodyguard pointed at He Cheng Yi and said, "Madam, I just saw him colluding with that woman to take away that gentleman."
He Cheng Yi: "…"
The intelligent He Cheng Yi instantly understood Madam Jiang's intentions.
Madam Jiang hadn't pursued the matter between him and her daughter. Instead, she had kept him to be her daughter's boyfriend, intending to deal with her at a suitable time without causing any reputational damage to Jiang Le Tian.
He had been greedy for wealth and hadn't thought much of it, believing Madam Jiang genuinely fancied him, a scholar from a humble background.
"You're lying, I didn't," He Cheng Yi didn't know how to prove himself, or perhaps even if he did, Madam Jiang wouldn't believe him.
"Madam Jiang, I can swear to heaven. I absolutely did not collude with that woman, nor have I done anything to betray Madam Jiang," He Cheng Yi stated firmly, knowing that his life was the most important thing right now.
Madam Jiang smiled mysteriously and stared at He Cheng Yi without speaking.
He Cheng Yi felt a sudden bad premonition.
Immediately after, another bodyguard descended from upstairs, holding a bloody knife. "Madam, this was found in Mr. He's room. This knife has blood on it."
"Mm! Send it to the police station along with the murder weapon. He Cheng Yi colluded with outsiders to kidnap my husband." Madam Jiang had been waiting for this moment.
She had always suspected that Han Yi Xuan and Jiang Nuan had discovered that Ge Xia was a fake, and they had prepared a scapegoat.
She had been looking for a suitable candidate when He Cheng Yi unexpectedly presented himself.
He Cheng Yi was stunned. Looking at the bloody murder weapon, he froze.
His gaze turned angry as he looked at Madam Jiang, letting out a cold laugh, "So, you kept me here just to make me a scapegoat! To make me a fall guy!" His muffled and enraged voice echoed in the night air.
How could he, He Cheng Yi, ruin his life in such a manner?
Madam Jiang looked at him indifferently. He was quite clever. She said scornfully, "Blame your greed. You shouldn't have touched my daughter. She is a precious gem, and you, merely a rat trampled in a sewer. You dared to climb our high branches. How many lives do you have, to dare appear before me and ruin my daughter's life."
Madam Jiang spoke the last few words through gritted teeth.
He Cheng Yi was shocked and terrified. He quickly knelt on the ground, pleading, "Madam, please, give me one chance. I'll do anything you ask. I'll never touch Miss again, and I'll be a loyal dog."
If he were sent to the police station in this manner, his life would be over.
Madam Jiang looked down at him, smiling eerily, "Since you are so loyal, go and die for me."
He Cheng Yi: "…"
"Take him away." Madam Jiang's emotionless voice filled He Cheng Yi with despair.
Madam Jiang took the opportunity to threaten, "Confess properly, or your parents won't fare any better."
He Cheng Yi immediately slumped to the ground. At this moment, he finally understood Madam Jiang's true intention: to destroy him in the most brutal way.
…
In the car, Yi Hao stared in shock at the unconscious Ge Xia, then looked at Jiang Nuan with surprise and asked, "Nuan Nuan, how did you steal Ge Xia out?"
Jiang Nuan regretted her decision that night. She only felt there was a secret on the third floor, but she hadn't expected that secret to be Ge Xia. "My whereabouts have been exposed, and Ge Xia will be in danger."
Yi Hao recalled the intimate scene in the second-floor room. The figure strongly resembled Madam Jiang.
He suddenly understood something and looked at Jiang Nuan with a surprised expression, exclaiming loudly, "Nuan Nuan, the people I saw being intimate on the second floor were Madam Jiang and another man, so there are two Ge Xia!"
Jiang Nuan nodded slightly as she saw that he had finally figured it out.
"It seems your reaction speed has declined," Jiang Nuan said faintly. She was panting slightly, carrying a large man on her back.
She took a deep breath before taking Ge Xia's pulse. After a while, she looked at Yi Hao with a grave expression, "Brain dead, unless a miracle happens."
Yi Hao: "…"
"Then it's over. Where we can place Ge Xia is a problem. With Madam Jiang's capabilities, she'll find us soon. Now, the whole city is probably out looking for us." Yi Hao had investigated Madam Jiang and knew she was a smart and crazy woman.
Jiang Nuan looked at her husband, who was driving, and said, "Honey, you arrange it."
Mu Jiu Chen's gaze was fixed ahead as many black cars overtook them from both sides.
He sensed danger.
In the dense darkness, a strange aura seemed to be permeating.
He said, "Madam Jiang has already made her move."
Jiang Nuan also saw the black cars that had just overtaken them. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Go to a hospital under Lu Corporation's name."
Mu Jiu Chen frowned slightly and glanced at her in the rearview mirror. "Wife, didn't you ask me to arrange it?"
Jiang Nuan looked at him. "Where do you want to arrange it?"
Mu Jiu Chen: "I have many properties in Modu, so let's arrange it at a house near us, and then Yi Hao can send people to take care of it."
Yi Hao shook his head. "I'm afraid it's no longer safe around me. I've discovered some of Madam Jiang's hidden secrets. It seems that everything that happened before was orchestrated by Madam Jiang. For example, on the day Lu Qiao Yi was sent out, there were several accidents on the road, causing traffic jams. Those police officers were completely stuck, and then people went to cause trouble, leading to the corpse being stolen."
"On the day Mu Yi Chen was rescued, many tasks were arranged, resulting in insufficient police force, which allowed Mu Yi Chen to be successfully rescued. And at that time, Ge Xia had already met with an accident…"
Yi Hao explained his suspicions one by one.
