“How is this possible? Didn’t I ask you to let our own people do those things? How did she know? How did she find out?” Elder Jiang had always been so fearless, he was confident that no one else would know about the shady things that they had done except for them and the executor.
“Therefore, Chen Meng’er’s strength can not be underestimated. The Green Gang has been developing in her hands over the past few years. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been so anxious to guard against her and destroy her,” Jiang Guoqiang said. He sighed. “However, I was anxious in the end. I also underestimated her strength. Not only did I not destroy her and the Green Gang, but I was instead held in her hands and could not move.”
Jiang Guoqiang thought about how he had lost to a little girl who was so much younger than him.
“She took this thing out to show you. Is she threatening you to withdraw from this term’s general election? Or does she want our family to turn around and support the Qu family? Let me tell you, this is impossible. Even if I were to fight with her to the death, I would not agree to you withdrawing from the general election.” His father’s temper had changed a lot in the past two years, however, he was very clear that it was related to the Jiang family’s interests.
He knew very well that if their family missed this position, their family’s decline would be imminent.
The descendants of the Jiang family were really getting worse with each generation. He doted on Jiang Zhanpeng so much because he felt that Jiang Zhanpeng’s temper was very similar to his when he was young. He even fantasized that when Jiang Zhanpeng was older, after he had played enough, he could turn around and shoulder the heavy burden of the Jiang family.
“No. Her request is very simple. She wants a fair competition. She won’t allow us to play dirty behind the scenes. Also, she won’t allow us to interfere in Zhanpeng’s matters.” Jiang Guoqiang looked at his father’s face. “Dad, we really can’t interfere with Zhanpeng this time. Dad, do you know how unfavorable such rumors are to me and our family at this time? Moreover, if we step out to help Zhanpeng at this time, who knows what kind of rumors will spread outside?” The meaning behind Jiang Guoqiang’s words was that he was prepared to give up on Jiang Zhanpeng.
Actually, at this time, even if they wanted to, they couldn’t do anything about it.
Jiang Guotao had already been charged with bigamy. And because of the previous reports, everyone’s attention was focused on this matter. At this time, if the final verdict was that Jiang Guotao was acquitted, then the Jiang family would once again be pushed into the limelight. At that time, without Chen Meng’er’s people fanning the flames behind their backs, the Jiang family’s reputation would also suffer a crushing defeat.
As for Jiang Zhanpeng, Chen Meng’er was not prepared to let Zhou Yunjie set his bones back into place. Without Chen Meng’er’s people to set his bones back into place, he would be crippled for the rest of his life. He would only be able to spend the rest of his life in bed.
In fact, Chen Meng’er wasn’t giving the Jiang family a choice. Instead, she had already given the Jiang family the only answer to this question. It all depended on whether Elder Jiang’s brain was clear or not.
After hearing Jiang Guoqiang’s words, Elder Jiang fell silent for a long time. All along, he had always placed the Jiang family’s interests first. However, now that he was suddenly asked to make a choice between the interests of his children and grandchildren and the Jiang family, he felt very uncomfortable and couldn’t make a decision for a moment.
