Encountering Song Meiyu had depressed Chen Chen. Jiang Rui took her to a new shop. It was said that the dishes in the restaurant looked very cute and were specially designed for girls. Finally, the dessert was served. When Chen Chen was counting the total number of marble chocolates on the plate, two people walked up to the table next to them.

Immediately, she looked rather pale. Jiang Rui looked over his shoulder with a cloudy face.

“Jiang Rui!” Bai Weirong shouted in surprise, and then glanced at Lu Tao.

Lu Tao smiled at her. “I told you it was them just now.”

They were going to eat on another street. But when they passed by the restaurant, Lu Tao recognized Jiang Rui’s car. At that time, Bai Weirong doubted it. Now, it turned out to really be Jiang Rui’s car.

“Why are you still with this woman?” Bai Weirong pointed her finger at Chen Chen. “Didn’t she get you into enough trouble?”

Jiang Rui glanced at Lu Tao and stared at Bai Weirong’s face. “Mrs. Lu, mind your own business.”

“You…” As Bai Weirong’s face clouded over, Lu Tao quickly held on to her. “Weirong, you were just discharged from the hospital. Don’t get too agitated.”

Bai Weirong appreciated that Lu Tao stood up for her, so she smiled at him. “I’m fine. I just think that Jiang Rui has suffered a lot because of that woman.”

“Chief Jiang, I’m sorry to cause you trouble because of what happened before. But that was our first child after all. Wei Rong is still very sad now!” Lu Tao looked very sad and said, “That’s life!”

Chen Chen’s face got paler. Jiang Rui suddenly pushed back the chair. “Let’s go.”

“Jiang Rui!” Bai Weirong stopped him. “You were suspended because of this woman. Why do you still stand up for her?”

“Have you been suspended?” Chen Chen looked at Jiang Rui in a panic. “Didn’t you say that you’re on vacation?”

Bai Weirong burst into laughter and said, “Jiang Rui lied to you. It’s you who killed my child, but he confessed that it was him who did it. Now his career is ruined. You are such a hoodoo! You bitch!”

“Smack!” Jiang Rui slapped Bai Weirong in her face. “That’s payback for slapping my wife before.”

“Smack!” Jiang Rui gave her another slap and swung his hands. “That is for insulting my wife.”

“Smack!” Jiang Rui gave her a third slap and sneered. “I give you this slap because you make me sick the moment I see you.”

“Jiang Rui!” Lu Tao finally realized what had happened. “You’ve gone too far!”

Bai Weirong’s mouth had split. She was covering her blue and swollen face, her mouth could not close, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

“Woo…” Words failed her, and she could only look at Chen Chen, hatefully and tearfully.

Jiang Rui held Chen Chen in his arms. “If you go on looking at my wife like that, I will not stop hitting you.”

“Jiang Rui, remember that you are suspended from duty. If you dare to slap her in public, I will have you arrested.”

“Why didn’t you stop me from slapping her just now?” Jiang Rui glanced at him. “Get out if you don’t have the guts.”

Chen Chen was no longer afraid now, staring at Jiang Rui. She knew that it was these two people who had framed her, but she still felt sorry for the aborted child.

However, seeing Jiang Rui give Bai Weirong three slaps mercilessly, such feelings were driven out of her mind. There had to be a reason why Jiang Rui had kept the truth from her.

“Let’s go!” Jiang Rui pulled her away. The waiter beside them was stunned, forgetting to remind them to pay the bill.

After getting in the car, Chen Chen exclaimed, “We haven’t paid the bill yet!”

“Rest assured, Lu Tao will be asked to pay.” Jiang Rui started the car and saw his lady keep silent. He coughed and asked her, “Why don’t you ask me?”

Chen Rui murmured, “If you wanted to tell me, you would have said it sooner!”

Jiang Rui chuckled and touched her head. “Do you remember Captain Gu?”

“Yes, that uncle with whiskers.”

Jiang Rui slowly said, “I asked him to tell others that I had been suspended, so that the Lu family would be at ease. Thus, they can be more likely to make mistakes.”

“But… didn’t you say that you had some evidence of Lu Tao’s crimes?” Jiang Rui once told her that Lu Tao had something to do with his own father’s death.

“Not enough.” Jiang Rui frowned. “I want to deliver a knockout blow to the Lu family.” Seeing Chen Chen shocked, he was amused and pinched her cheek. “Silly girl, are you scared?”

Chen Chen awkwardly said, “No… no, I just didn’t expect…”

“I didn’t mean to be so merciless,” Jiang Rui said helplessly, “but the Lu family always plays dirty. If it can’t be uprooted, the capital will always be in turmoil. I would face a hundred terrorists rather than be stabbed in my back by someone who should have been one of us when I face terrorists someday.”

“I understand.” Chen Chen nodded. “My brother once told me to eliminate anything that goes against me and not to give them a chance to hurt me.”

Jiang Rui glanced at her with admiration. “The kids from the Wan family are really extraordinary.”

“But it’s really disappointing today.” Chen Chen pouted and said, “How unlucky I was to run into someone I hate!” But she stared at Jiang Rui with admiration immediately. “You looked so handsome when you slapped her just now!”

“But not handsome at other times?” Jiang Rui squinted and asked.

Chen Chen shook her head firmly. “No, no, no. At other times, you’re handsome, too!”

“You can have an extra container of ice cream tonight, for you did a good job just now.”

When getting in the car, Tuan Zi saw Chen Chen grinning because of the extra carton of ice cream. In the evening, while taking a shower, she asked, “Mom, did my dad kiss you?”

“Nonsense!” Chen Chen drove Hei Zi out of the bathtub. “Why should I be pleased because of that? Besides, he didn’t kiss me.”

Hei Zi whimpered beside the bathtub and wanted to jump in. Tuan Zi nodded. “Mom, Tuan Zi said that it didn’t carry any infectious viruses and it wanted to come in the bathtub and wash with us.”

“Did it say that? Or you said that?” Chen Chen doubted the strangely tacit understanding between Tuan Zi and Hei Zi.

“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi barked.

Tuan Zi said, “Mom, Hei Zi said that your breasts are bigger than before.”

“…” Chen Chen picked up the soap and threw it onto Hei Zi’s head, then stared at Tuan Zi. “Surely, it’s you!”

“Hei Zi, go and ask Dad to come here!” Tuan Zi gave an order. “Mom, just wait here. Dad will come to prove that I can communicate with Hei Zi!”

Chen Chen had already jumped out of the bathtub in a panic. “Why are you asking him to come here? I’m naked now.” As soon as she finished her words, Hei Zi rushed in followed by Jiang Rui.

“Oh my God!” Chen Chen, who had just put on her bathrobe, shouted, “Don’t come in! Get out!”

Jiang Rui glanced at her snow-white thighs and backed out of the bathroom. “Hei Zi bit my trousers and dragged me over here. I thought that something had happened to you!”

“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi sat at Chen Chen’s feet and barked.

Tuan Zi said, “Mom, Hei Zi said, ‘See, you can believe us now’!”

Chen Chen had no time to pay attention to them, quickly putting on her pants. As soon as she opened the door, she was surprised to see Jiang Rui smiling at her.

“Why… why are you still here…?”

Jiang Rui burst into laughter. “I’m afraid that you will accidentally fall down because of shyness.”

Chen Chen heard a sudden sound of water, then saw Hei Zi jump into the bathtub again. Then, Tuan Zi held Hei Zi’s head in her arms and grinned at Chen Chen.

She was about to ask Hei Zi to get out of the bathtub.

“How about eating some ice cream?” Jiang Rui’s reminder interrupted her.

Seeing that Chen Chen was taken away, Tuan Zi rubbed Hei Zi’s ears. “Do you think we should help Dad?”

“Bow-wow!”

“Help Dad let Mom give birth to another baby!”

“Bow-wow!”

“Well, I’ll ask my grandma for help later!”

Jiang Rui was about to go to bed at night when he received a call from Wen Pintang, which made his expression change.

“What’s wrong?” Chen Chen just came out of Tuan Zi’s room.

While putting on a coat, Jiang Rui said, “You go to bed first. I’ll go back to the Jiang family’s house.”

Before Chen Chen had time to ask more, Jiang Rui had already left.

Wen Pintang told him that Song Chunli was found and just sent back to the Jiang family’s house. To be exact, she was found on the black market, where Wen Pintang’s informant was and had recognized her.

“I think that was suspicious. You can wait and see her, and then make your own decision.”

When Jiang Rui rushed back to the Jiang family’s house, Song Chunli was already asleep.

“She must have a bad time during these days.” Jiang Qianren sighed. “Look at how thin she is now.”

The woman lying in bed looked like a real old lady, with dry and gray hair and pale face. She had lost a lot of weight over the past month.

When Jiang Rui entered in the living room downstairs, Jiang Min was sitting still, with a tobacco pipe in his hand.

“Grandpa, haven’t you quit smoking?” Jiang Rui took away the tobacco pipe from his hand and poured him a cup of tea.

Jiang Min patted him on the hand. “What do you think of that?”

“What did she say when she returned?”

Jiang Qianren sat down beside her. “When she returned, she was unconscious. We couldn’t communicate with her. Later, we asked the doctor to give her a tranquilizer. She just fell asleep when you arrived.”

“I will ask her some questions when she wakes up, but I don’t think she will be able to say anything.” Jiang Min frowned. “The doctor said that she had been badly upset, and that it is still uncertain if she could be perfectly sane.”

Jiang Rui asked, “Do you think she was kidnapped by terrorists?”

“Yes.” Jiang Qianren nodded. “I contacted Boss Wan, who said that a certain base had kidnapped a woman a month ago. Before we had time to precisely locate the organization, Mom had appeared herself.”

Jiang Min made his analysis. “According to our understanding of those people, they could not have released any hostage. Even if it is useless, they would kill them.”

“Now we can only wait to ask Grandma when she wakes up.” Jiang Rui stood up. “Uncle, it’s not convenient for me now. You need to send a few people to guard her. Don’t let Grandma run out.”

“By the way, what on earth happened to you?” Jiang Qianren looked at him. “If Dad hadn’t told me that the news was false, I would have thought you were really suspended from duty.”

Jiang Rui said with a smile, “It’s all right. I can handle it myself.”

Jiang Min waved his hand. “It’s too late. Go back quickly. I’ll let you know what happened to your grandma in time.”

“Okay, then I’ll go first.”

When Jiang Rui got back home, Chen Chen had not gone to sleep yet, lying on the sofa and glancing through the magazine. On seeing him open the door, she sat up immediately.

“Did you find your grandma?”

Jiang Rui touched her hand. “Why not cover yourself with a blanket?”

“It’s not cold. It’s warm!” Chen Chen rubbed her hand against his palm and asked again, “Did you find your grandma?”

“Yeah.” Jiang Rui told her what had happened.

After listening to the story, Chen Chen exclaimed, “It’s a suspenseful story…”

Jiang Rui looked at her and asked when he suddenly thought of something, “Liuliu, do you have any drugs that can be used for hypnotizing people?”
