CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 64: AS NATURALLY AS AN OLD MARRIED COUPLE

Wei Qing, who was making a fuss about seeing Jiang Jingming, was currently reporting work with Xu Cheng.

"The other party doesn’t seem simple and might involve some people.

They’re also very cautious, and it seems they even know some of our internal matters, so they’ve never been discovered.

We haven’t gotten any results from our investigation. The trail always mysteriously vanishes halfway."

Jiang Jingming shared what he knew and his guesses with Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng’s face was very serious.

"If that’s the case, then this is troubling."

Jiang Jingming thought the same thing, if it indeed involved some people, it might be hard to root out.

"For now, don’t make this public. According to the investigation, first, figure out the people behind it and the network of relationships. I’ll try to gain support from above."

Xu Cheng said.

Jiang Jingming nodded slightly, "I understand."

"You’ve worked hard this time. I heard there’s also a matter with your wife?"

Thinking of Sang Yu, Jiang Jingming’s expression softened, "Yeah."

"Your wife is pretty impressive, having such skills." Xu Cheng teased.

"She’s always been great." Jiang Jingming’s tone carried a hint of pride.

Xu Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Isn’t your wedding day coming soon?"

Jiang Jingming: "Half a month away."

Xu Cheng: "I’m looking forward to celebrating with you again."

Jiang Jingming smiled slightly, "Okay."

Saying goodbye to Xu Cheng, Jiang Jingming went home. The remaining matters could be completely handed over to Lin Wen.

Lin Wen: I feel it’s not that complete. Is there anyone to speak up for me?

When Jiang Jingming returned home, Sang Yu was in the kitchen making dinner.

A light scent of smoke wafted out of the window, and the house was filled with the aroma of food.

Watching Sang Yu’s busy figure in the kitchen, he suddenly felt that life was just like this.

"You’re back?" Sang Yu turned her head and looked at Jiang Jingming when she heard the noise.

Jiang Jingming put down his things and walked towards the kitchen, "You still have injuries. Why are you cooking by yourself? You could wait for me to do it when I come back."

Sang Yu was scooping out fried meatballs as she spoke, "I have nothing much to do at home, and those are just some bruises. It won’t affect the cooking."

"By the way, how did things go? Did you find the person?" Sang Yu asked.

Jiang Jingming appropriately picked up the meatballs Sang Yu had already scooped out, "Yeah, we found them."

After placing them down, he returned to the kitchen to tidy up.

Sang Yu naturally entrusted the kitchen cleanup to him.

"No one got hurt, right?" Sang Yu asked, concerned.

"No," Jiang Jingming said casually.

"That’s good then."

Jiang Jingming said, "Thanks to you for this matter. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have caught them so quickly."

Sang Yu proudly said, "Now you believe in my skills, right?"

Jiang Jingming paused and looked earnestly at Sang Yu, "I’ve always believed."

Sang Yu paused, startled by his serious reply.

Jiang Jingming looked at the dazed Sang Yu and smiled slightly.

"By the way, Wei Qing is actually the one who came to see you that day." Jiang Jingming suddenly said.

Sang Yu paused, "You mean, Wei Qing is the girl who came to see me that day?"

After placing the last items, Jiang Jingming wiped his hands and casually took off the apron on Sang Yu.

So casual that Sang Yu didn’t even notice this old married couple’s gesture.

"Yes, she’s Wei Jin’s sister, but I don’t know her. I’ve never even met her. I only heard about this from Wei Jin after she went missing."

Jiang Jingming explained earnestly.

Sang Yu believed he truly didn’t know Wei Qing.

But it seemed impossible they hadn’t met—how could Wei Qing look like she had deep feelings?

It must be that Jiang Jingming just doesn’t remember.

"So, how is she now?"

Jiang Jingming sat across from Sang Yu, "After rescuing her, we had people from the bureau send her to the hospital and notified her family."

Since they notified the family, it should not be a problem.

But as it turns out, Sang Yu was too early to feel relieved.

The next day

Jiang Jingming, now that the matter had temporarily concluded, could rest for a day, also to let those behind the scenes lower their guard.

This way, the next steps could proceed better.

Jiang Jingming and Sang Yu were watering the vegetable garden in the backyard.

"You can’t give too much water, or it will drown the vegetables." Sang Yu didn’t get hands-on but rather instructed from the side.

Jiang Jingming laughed, "Will the vegetables really drown?"

Sang Yu crossed her arms, "Of course, this is our only vegetable garden. If they drown, we won’t have any greens to eat."

Jiang Jingming smiled indulgently, "Okay, I got it."

The warm atmosphere was soon interrupted by a knocking at the door.

Sang Yu said, "I’ll get the door."

"Cousin? Cousin-in-law?"

Sang Yu was a bit surprised to see the pair at the door, then her gaze fell on Wei Qing behind Wei Jin.

Wei Jin didn’t look well and had an apologetic look towards Sang Yu.

"Xiao Yu, sorry to bother you at this time."

Sang Yu smiled, "What are you talking about, cousin-in-law? Come on in."

Sang Yu ignored Wei Qing’s envious and resentful gaze upon herself.

"Who is it?" At this time, Jiang Jingming also returned from the backyard.

"Jingming," Jiang Chunhe called out.

Jiang Jingming looked at the three people in the living room, frowned, and walked to stand beside Sang Yu, shielding her behind him.

"Brother Jiang!" Wei Qing’s face lit up upon seeing Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming’s expression was indifferent, no response to Wei Qing.

Wei Jin apologized sincerely, "Jingming, sorry, Xiao Qing insisted on seeing you. We couldn’t stop her; my parents couldn’t either, so we had to bring her here."

In fact, Wei Jin also wanted Wei Qing to see the bond between Jiang Jingming and Sang Yu with her own eyes, and then give up.

That’s why he agreed to bring her along.

Wei Qing cast a glance at Sang Yu behind Jiang Jingming, then looked at Jiang Jingming with a longing gaze:

"Brother Jiang, don’t you remember me? I’m Xiao Qing."

Wei Qing first met Jiang Jingming three years ago when she went with Wei Jin to Jiang Chunhe’s house.

It was then that she saw Jiang Jingming.

One look, and she was captivated by Jiang Jingming; from that moment, she liked him.

But later, she and Wei Lai were both sent abroad and did not see him again.

She returned this time because of Jiang Jingming.

Now grown up, she could date and marry.

So she came back to marry Jiang Jingming.

Jiang Jingming glanced lightly at Wei Qing, his voice cold, "I don’t know you."

Wei Qing’s smile froze instantly on her face, "Brother Jiang, you’re joking."

How could he not remember? She clearly remembered that day he was sitting right across from her.
