Chapter 749: Begging For Forgiveness
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Isn’t there something wrong with Jiang Haoting’s body? Even if he gains military power, it won’t last long.”
“Yes, that’s why he didn’t want to give up the power he was about to get, nor was he willing to retire. That’s why he attacked us after hearing about Han Jia. He didn’t even think about whether the legendary immortality was real or fake.”
“Maybe he thought about it too, but that’s the mystery of the Ouyang family. He has no time to verify it.”
“Now that we’ve captured Han Jia, Jiang Haoting is also in a terrible situation. Is this matter over for the time being?”
“Not necessarily. Even if Jiang Haoting doesn’t have military power, the regime is still there. It’s very stable for him to capture the regime. I’ve said before that just taking down the Ouyang family will keep him safe for 12 years. Even if he doesn’t have military power for the next six years, he’s definitely the
leader of the regime.”
Shen Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but sigh. It was getting more and more complicated. All these twists and turns were really troublesome.
“It’s really complicated. It’s better to be a commoner. I don’t know what Jiang Haoting is thinking.”
“Who cares? He’s really busy now. After the military power election, he’ll probably target us again.”
“Then, should we go abroad immediately?”
Hearing Shen Xiaoxiao’s words, Yan Kuan was obviously unwilling. He still wanted to save Xiaoxiao. How could he not look for the Shen family’s fund just because Jiang Haoting wanted to interfere?
Yan Kuan immediately said, “No, you can’t delay any longer with your Suoyin Flower Tears. The sooner you find the antidote, the better. I’m preparing to enter the mountains after New Year’s Day.”
He wanted to go now, but it was winter, and the suburbs were sealed by heavy snow. There was nothing he could do if he didn’t want to go.
It was inappropriate to go after New Year’s Day, but Jiang Haoting was still watching from the side. They had to hurry.
“We’ll talk about it then. If the weather is still like this, we’ll have to wait until spring. I don’t want the antidote to not be found, and we’ll be trapped in the woods.”.
“But will that Ouyang Jue live until then? If Ouyang Jue dies, will Han Jia not take out the Suoyin flower?”
This was also what Shen Xiaoxiao was puzzled about, but Yan Kuan had his own thoughts. So, he said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “So, this is also something I want to talk to you about. I’m going to find an opportunity to put on a show to let Han Jia go. She has to keep Ouyang Jue alive. Not only that, I also want to
create an illusion that she can get in touch with the old woman.”
“In this way, she can relax her vigilance. Maybe she can take out the Suoyin flower without the old woman showing up.”
Yan Kuan’s words were very reasonable, but Shen Xiaoxiao had her own doubts. She said, “But what if we’ve been wrong? What if the Suoyin flower is not in Han Jia’s hands but in the old woman’s hands all this time?”
Yan Kuan smiled and turned the steering wheel.
“That doesn’t matter. At least we have Ouyang Jue in our hands. Letting Han Jia out is to catch Ouyang Jue.”
‘Well, since they had already planned everything, Shen Xiaoxiao naturally had nothing to say. At this time, it was very easy for her to have someone arrange everything for her.
After returning to the villa, everything was as if nothing had happened. The room was clean, and there was a table full of food on the dining table.
As soon as Shen Xiaoxiao entered the house, she hurried over. 19 held a bowl of soup in front of her and said, “The time is just right. Drink a bow! of hot soup to warm your stomach before eating.”
19’s attentive manner showed that he knew Shen Xiaoxiao very well. Looking at Yan Kuan, his heart ached. Once again, he was glad that 19 was someone from Dark 1. Otherwise, he would really be a formidable opponent. Why did he arrange for 19 to be by Xiaoxiao’s side in the first place?
However, he was not the kind of person who did not know what was good for him. Although he was extremely uncomfortable with the tacit understanding between 19 and Shen Xiaoxiao, he had to admit that 19 really took good care of Xiaoxiao. Even he could not be so meticulous.
Of course, this was also something that he could not do in the past. In the future, he would have to do all these things. For example, he would learn how to cook. He would know how to make plain porridge. He could learn a few more things. Yes, that was what he would do.
That night, even with 19’s medicine, Yan Kuan didn’t let Shen Xiaoxiao go. In Yan Kuan’s words, what if the medicine didn’t work? What if the antidote wasn’t right? It was best to use the most primitive method.
Of course, the result was that Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t come downstairs until noon the next day.
The two children had been playing in the snow the whole morning. When they saw her coming downstairs, they said she was shy, which made Shen Xiaoxiao extremely embarra.s.sed.
However, Yan Kuan was not in the villa. These days, he was the busiest. He had already told her last night that he would continue to discuss things with those people today.
Therefore, after lunch, the two children went to the villa to take a nap. Only Shen Xiaoxiao was left in the study to deal with things.
However, at this time, Jiang Haoran came over with Jiang Wendong and Jiang Wenwen.
Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t need to think to know that the father and son had brought Jiang Wenwen here to ask for forgiveness.
‘The reason why she didn’t mention this matter was to wait for Jiang Wendong and the others to resolve it themselves. She could also return Jiang Haoran’s favor.
After all, this little girl was only 12 years old. Even if she really had any malicious thoughts, she definitely wouldn’t have done it like this.
Therefore, Shen Xiaoxiao persuaded Yan Kuan not to attack a little girl.
“Brother Jiang and Wendong are here. Have a seat. What happened to Wenwen?”
Shen Xiaoxiao could not be blamed for being surprised. Jiang Wenwen’s face was swollen and her eyes were blue and purple. Most importantly, her hand was still hanging. She looked really scary. It was obvious that she must have been beaten by Jiang Wendong.
How could someone like Jiang Haoran, who doted on his child, hit his child so hard? Only Jiang Wendong would do that.
‘When he had just returned to the country, Jiang Wendong had already beaten Jiang Wenwen once. He did not expect him to hit her again. Of course, Shen Xiaoxiao actually felt that the beating was a little too harsh. After all, she was a little girl.
However, when she thought about it, if it was not for Yan Kuan yesterday, it would have been really difficult for her. Therefore, she swallowed the words that she wanted to comfort her.
“Sister, I brought my sister here to apologize for her wrongdoings.”
“Xiaoxiao, I’m sorry. I’ve spoiled her too much. Look at this…”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. When she saw Jiang Wenwen’s frightened expression, she knew that this girl had been taught a lesson.
“Wendong, attacking a girl, you can’t hit her face.”
Alright, what Shen Xiaoxiao meant was, you can hit her, but don’t hit her face. Was that what she meant?
Anyway, Jiang Haoran thought that was what she meant. He began to feel lucky that he had really listened to Wendong’s advice and hit her. The effect was indeed the best.
“Wenwen, tell Auntie, who told you to do this? I know you didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Treally didn’t do it on purpose. Although I’m not satisfied with the matter between you and my father, I didn’t know that I would give you that drug. I thought it was K. I thought it would make you excited and make you dance in front of everyone. I saw those people eat K in the past, and they were
dancing, I don’t know what else it was…”
