CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: MARKET CRASH AND ARREST

With her father’s assurance, Jiang Mingzhu finally felt at ease and then went back to her room to sleep soundly.

When she woke up, it was already the next morning. Meanwhile, the police in Xu City were searching everywhere for Jiang Mingzhu’s whereabouts, completely unaware that she had already returned to South City.

Not until noon the next day did they receive news that Jiang Mingzhu had appeared at the train station in Xu City and had even bought a train ticket to South City.

So, they immediately contacted the police in South City, asking them to assist in capturing Jiang Mingzhu. However, they were told that Jiang Mingzhu was ill and needed to recuperate, so they couldn’t arrest her.

As for cross-city arrests, they couldn’t do anything without the consent of the district police of the city in question.

Because of this, the police in Xu City were quite frustrated and reported it to Director Wang. When Director Wang heard that Jiang Mingzhu had escaped, he felt truly regretful and immediately called the military district in charge.

The military district took the matter of Jiang Mingzhu kidnapping a military family member very seriously, and upon hearing that Jiang Mingzhu had escaped, they naturally demanded that the police bring her back.

Under pressure from the military district, Director Wang and others had to think of other ways, hoping to bring her back through non-official channels.

The pressure due to her was immense on Xu City’s side, which Jiang Mingzhu was, of course, unaware of. At this moment, after waking from a nap, she finally felt like she was alive again.

To be honest, although she hadn’t been tortured or endured any inhumane treatment during her days in prison, she still felt that every day was a year.

The first thing Jiang Mingzhu did after getting up was to find Old Sir Jiang, as she wanted to apologize to him. However, when she arrived at his residence, she was informed that Old Sir Jiang and the old lady had gone on a trip and were not at home temporarily.

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Mingzhu suddenly felt uneasy for some reason. She was worried that Old Sir Jiang had already found out about Jiang Xue’s identity and feared that they had gone to find Jiang Xue.

So, she asked Old Sir Jiang’s housekeeper, "Uncle Yang, do you know where Old Sir Jiang went?"

"This humble servant does not know," Housekeeper Yang shook his head. This matter had to remain confidential. Old Sir Jiang hadn’t even told the second and third masters, so how could he tell Jiang Mingzhu?

"Uncle Yang, I know you know. Please, Uncle Yang, just tell me, and I will reward you generously."

"I’m sorry, Miss, I really don’t know." Even though Jiang Mingzhu promised a hefty reward, Housekeeper Yang still didn’t dare tell her. Because, indeed, he was carrying Old Sir Jiang’s favor, and if Old Sir Jiang knew that he had leaked his whereabouts, he wouldn’t be able to stay at the Jiang Family.

This was a thankless task he wouldn’t do.

"You!" Jiang Mingzhu was a bit angry, glaring fiercely at Housekeeper Yang before storming off. Just a servant, does he think she can’t find out if he doesn’t tell her? Hmph!

Jiang Mingzhu left in a huff and then directly called her father Jiang Feng, asking him where Old Sir Jiang had gone.

Jiang Feng originally didn’t know either, but when Ming Lan went to Xu City and Old Sir Jiang found out, he was scolded over the phone, which led him to guess.

So, when Jiang Mingzhu called to ask, he didn’t think much and just said, "He should have gone to Xu City."

"What!" Jiang Mingzhu’s face changed. Guessing was one thing, but the reality was another. If Old Sir Jiang went to Xu City, why wouldn’t he protect her?

Could it be that Old Sir Jiang had already found out that Jiang Xue was their granddaughter and went to find Jiang Xue?
