Chapter 671: You Tricked Me!
“I’ve already called the police, so you don’t have to. As for the insurance company, I’ll negotiate. Jiang Ning, why don’t you accompany Princess Consort Charles to the hotel to rest first? Leave everything here to me.”
Jiang Qingsong looked anxious and forced himself to suppress the trembling of his voice.
The rest was a mess. He would have to clean it up himself and leave no one with a handle on him. He already had some plans to deal with it. Now he had to buy a similar ruby immediately, find someone to rush a new one just like the crown had been at the time, set it in place, and just manage to get by.
As for the money he would have to spend, it would definitely be difficult to count. However, when he thought about how if he could control the Jiang family business, he would be able to make up for these losses from the company in the future, so his heart would not ache so much.
Everyone who already knew the truth looked at him strangely as he boasted shamelessly. They surrounded him.
Jiang Qingsong also sensed that there was something wrong with everyone’s gazes. He subconsciously reached out to touch his face, but did not realize what was wrong.
One of the higher-ups of the Jiang family stood up and said to him, “Jiang Qingsong, are you still being smug here? Are you trying to deceive us?! We heard everything you said outside just now! How can you even commit such a crime! How did the Jiang Corporation produce a sc.u.m like you!”
Jiang Qingsong finally understood what was going on. He took out his walkie-talkie and realized that it was not just a walkie-talkie, but a radio receiver. When Jiang Ning handed it to him, he stuffed it into his pocket without any thought.
“Jiang Ning, you tricked me!” He glared at her.
The higher-ups of the Jiang family stepped forward and protected Jiang Ning, separating her from Jiang Qingsong.
Jiang Ning looked at him coldly. “If you didn’t do these things, how could I plot against you? Jiang Qingsong, for your own selfish desires, you don’t care about the interests of the Jiang Group at all, nor do you care about the interests of anyone in the group. Who do you think you are? You want to achieve your goal by destroying the Jiang Group? Dream on!”
Jiang Qingsong saw that his plan had been exposed and was no longer afraid. He said loudly, “Alright, since you all know, I have nothing to hide. I just can’t stand you acting like a tyrant in the Jiang Group! The Jiang family is not yours alone. What right does Grandpa have to hand the Jiang family over to a woman like you! What can a woman do? This family should be left to men!”
His speech angered many of the female executives and other female VIPs present.
Immediately, a female executive stepped forward and said, “Jiang Qingsong, did you jump out from a crack in a rock? Why do you look down on women so much? Open your eyes and take a look at what the world is like now! Women have long been able to hold up half the sky. Whether it’s the Jiang Group or other industries, women are able to complete their own missions and work like men. You must be crazy to think of such a brainwas.h.i.+ng package, right?”
“Exactly. This is outrageous!”
“Fortunately, Old Master Jiang didn’t choose such a person to control the Jiang family. Otherwise, how could women like us have a place to stand!”
Jiang Qingsong was suddenly attacked from all directions and let out a vicious laugh. “What’s the use of talking about me here? It’s you who lost the princess consort’s ruby and didn’t complete the crown she wanted on time! Jiang Ning and the Jiang Corporation still have to bear the responsibility for breaching the contract! From today onwards, everyone in Hong Kong will know that the Jiang Corporation has just been handed over to Jiang Ning and has already caused such a huge mess. In the future, who will still cooperate with the Jiang Corporation? Who will still dare to look for the Jiang Corporation to customize high-grade jewelry?”
Jiang Ning looked at him as if he was a fool. “But my crown has already been handed over to the princess consort.”
She pointed. Jiang Qingsong followed her finger and saw the princess consort holding the brocade box. The crown inside was there, emitting a warm light.
Jiang Qingsong’s pupils dilated. “You… you…”
“Jiang Qingsong, this is the real trap! Do you think I didn’t know that you’re going to swap the crown in the gla.s.s display? Do you think no one would notice your wild ambition? I had already placed the fake crown inside. Your people came to swap it and took it away.”
As Jiang Ning spoke, Jiang Qingsong’s expression turned even uglier.
Jiang Ning smiled. “Jiang Qingsong, you didn’t expect this, did you? All your schemes were within my calculations. Originally, I thought that no matter what, you were still a member of the Jiang family’s branch family. I had to call you cousin no matter what. As long as you did your own thing and followed the company’s rules, I would still leave your position as the general manager to you. Who knew that I only had to try a little to test your character.”
Jiang Qingsong was shocked.
He originally thought that his plan was flawless, but in fact, Jiang Ning had already planned ahead.
He had personally and completely cut off his own path in the group!
Jiang Ning’s words also made some of the other relatives of the Jiang family present lower their heads and think.
Initially, everyone more or less had the same thoughts as Jiang Qingsong. They looked down on Jiang Ning and wanted to take advantage of her position to test her true ability before deciding what to do next, but now… Everyone was afraid. It turned out that Jiang Ning had already seen through everyone’s actions.
Her words were clearly meant for Jiang Qingsong to hear, but how could it not be a warning to others?
“Jiang Qingsong, if you have anything else to say, go and tell the police. I believe that the insurance company also has a lot to say and wants to talk to you and the police.” Jiang Ning heard the sirens outside and said indifferently.
Jiang Qingsong’s face was pale. He knew that his final moment had arrived.
After Jiang Qingsong was taken away, Jiang Ning said to everyone, “Everyone, I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect that this cold scene would really happen today and cause everyone trouble. I didn’t host you well today. Please forgive me.”
“It’s okay, Miss Jiang. You did really well today.”
“Everyone’s happy to find the sc.u.m of the Jiang family.”
Seeing that things were almost settled, Jiang Ning said, “Then I won’t stay any longer today. Everyone, let’s meet again next time.”
Everyone took their leave.
Jiang Yiqian had originally planned to play some tricks tonight to embarra.s.s Jiang Ning, but now, she did not dare to do so anymore. She was so frightened that she quickly slipped away.
Only Princess Consort Charles and her entourage remained at the scene.
