Chapter 457: Strike Once Every Time We Meet

Mother Jiang patted her hand gently and smiled with a look of relief. “Good child, thank you, Mom.”

After calming the situation, Li Yiyi saw Jiang Hong preparing to leave and quickly called out to him.

“What’s wrong, dear?” He stopped and asked.

Li Yiyi looked at him and asked, “Are you going to find them?”

Jiang Hong immediately grew serious and nodded. “Yes.”

“I’ll go with you,” she said right away.

“I want to see who their boss is, and whether this pill incident has anything to do with them,” she added.

Seeing the determined look on his wife’s face, Jiang Hong swallowed the words he was about to say and nodded. He took her hand, and together they walked toward the military green car parked outside.

The couple arrived at the place where Jiang Huijing and her husband worked about half an hour later.

Looking at the large building in front of them, they exchanged a glance and got out of the car.

As they reached the entrance, the gatekeeper stopped them.

“Who are you? Don’t you know this is private property? Leave immediately!” The gatekeeper shouted fiercely.

Jiang Hong, standing tall in his military uniform, didn’t say a word, but his presence alone made the gatekeeper flinch. The man immediately softened.

“I’m here to see Wang Fugui and Jiang Huijing. Tell them to come out and see me,” Jiang Hong said with a stern expression.

When the gatekeeper heard the names, his attitude immediately changed.

“Ah, so you’re with Brother Wang and Sister Jiang. Why didn’t you say so? Wait here, I’ll go inside and bring them out for you,” the gatekeeper said enthusiastically as he turned to enter.

Li Yiyi smiled and teased Jiang Hong, “Comrade Jiang, I didn’t realize that your sister and her husband have been here for such a short time, and already they’re so well-connected. People are calling them ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ now.”

Jiang Hong sneered, “You know them. It’s probably not because they’re well-liked. ‘Brother’ and ‘Sister’ might not be earned in an honest way.”

After waiting a short while, the couple saw the gatekeeper return alone. There was no sign of the people they had come to see.

“Where are they?” Jiang Hong’s face darkened.

The man, seeing Jiang Hong’s change in demeanor, was startled and hurried to explain, “Comrade, don’t misunderstand. Originally, Brother Wang and Sister Jiang wanted to come out to see you, but then our boss heard you were here, so he asked you to go inside directly.”

Li Yiyi raised an eyebrow, eyeing him with suspicion. “We don’t know your boss.”

The man laughed loudly. “You don’t know our boss? He’s a great benefactor, doing so many good things in the city. You’ve never heard of him? You must be too out of the loop.”

Li Yiyi’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Is it so strange that I don’t know your boss? He’s not a famous person, so it’s not odd at all that I haven’t heard of him.”

The man was taken aback and seemed to be struggling with his thoughts.

Jiang Hong, getting impatient, interrupted, “Enough, we’re in a hurry. Just take us inside to find them.”

Seeing that the couple was in a hurry and recalling how his boss had reacted earlier, the man reluctantly swallowed his words and led them inside like a subordinate.

It took them about ten minutes to reach the lobby due to the size of the yard. Inside, they saw Jiang Huijing sweeping the yard.

When Jiang Huijing saw them, she dropped the broom in shock.

“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you… What are you doing here?” After a long pause, Jiang Huijing finally spoke, looking guilty.

Jiang Hong gave her a cold look. “You should already know why we’re here!”

Seeing the stern expression on her third brother’s face, Jiang Huijing’s heart skipped a beat. Her first thought was that he had found out about the bad deed she had done.

“Third Brother, I… I didn’t mean to…”

Before she could finish, a figure rushed out.

“Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you’re here! Please come in. Our boss wants to invite you for tea,” Wang Fugui said with a flattering smile.

Li Yiyi glanced at Wang Fugui before looking away, clearly skeptical.

She didn’t believe that Jiang Huijing could have acted on her own without Wang Fugui being involved.

Jiang Hong eyed Wang Fugui’s obsequious expression and stepped forward, pointing at him. “Wang Fugui, I’ll settle yesterday’s matter with you and your wife later.”

“Third Brother, Third Brother, let’s talk it over. Even if you don’t care about me, you should care about Huijing. She’s your little sister, your beloved little sister!” Wang Fugui, nervous from Jiang Hong’s threatening tone, immediately tried to placate him.

Jiang Hong’s eyes grew colder as he looked at Jiang Huijing. “If she chose to be a thief, she’s no longer my little sister. I, Jiang Hong, don’t need a sister who steals.”

“Jiang Huijing, I give you until today to return the pill you stole from Mom. Otherwise, don’t ever call me your brother again. I won’t help you with anything from now on. You can figure it out yourself.”

With that, Jiang Hong took Li Yiyi’s hand and walked toward the door.

Wang Fugui, seeing the situation, nervously called after them, “Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you’re going the wrong way. We need to go forward, not back!”

Jiang Hong, irritated by the constant chatter, let go of Li Yiyi’s hand, turned around, and kicked Wang Fugui hard in the backside.

“Ah!” Wang Fugui yelped, landing hard on the ground, unable to get up for a while, his backside sore from the blow.

“Wang Fugui, you better not follow me again. Otherwise, I’ll take your dog life!” Jiang Hong warned before continuing to lead Li Yiyi out of the building.
