A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 696 - 695 Do you believe me when I say I am saving the Jiang family?
Chapter 696: Chapter 695 Do you believe me when I say I am saving the Jiang family?
“You… Ou Shen Zhi, I’ve treated you well. Why are you treating your father-in-law like this? Does your wife know about this?”
Old Master Jiang felt the urge to hit Ou Shen Zhi again, but he knew that Ou Shen Zhi would not just stand there waiting to be hit, so Old Master Jiang had calmed himself and was ready to have a serious conversation with Ou Shen Zhi.
“My wife? Naturally, she doesn’t know. If she knew her father was a traitor and an enemy collaborator, who knows how ashamed she’d be!”
Ou Shen Zhi looked at Old Master Jiang and spoke in a relaxed tone, as if discussing the nice weather today, his expression completely natural, showing no sign of discomfort.
“Ou Shen Zhi, you don’t know what you’re saying. You can eat without care, but you must be careful with your words. You…”
Old Master Jiang did not believe Ou Shen Zhi’s words at all. He knew Jiang Desheng was corrupt but also cowardly; what Ou Shen Zhi was suggesting seemed utterly impossible!
“Grandfather doesn’t believe it? Does Grandfather think that all the expenses of my father-in-law and that woman were from my father-in-law’s embezzlement at Tianlang Base? Do you know how much Jiang Linyan spends abroad in a year?”
Ou Shen Zhi looked at Old Master Jiang, who appeared utterly bewildered, and coldly smiled.
“Grandfather, the data I handed over was merely to save my father-in-law’s life. If the disciplinary department were to find this information, not only could he not save his life, but the Jiang family would be ruined as well. It’s better you take a good look for yourself!”
As he spoke, Ou Shen Zhi placed the documents in his hand on Old Master Jiang’s desk, letting Old Master Jiang see for himself the absurd things Jiang Desheng had done over the years.
Old Master Jiang picked up the file folder that Ou Shen Zhi had placed on his desk, pulled out the documents, and began reading them one by one. By the end, Old Master Jiang couldn’t help but inhale deeply.
“How… How is this possible?”
Old Master Jiang could hardly believe what he was seeing. Ou Shen Zhi was right; compared to these, the evidence of embezzlement seemed insignificant.
If this information was true, then Ou Shen Zhi truly hadn’t done anything wrong. Such actions indeed saved Jiang Desheng’s life.
Setting aside the documents, Old Master Jiang took a deep breath, looked up at Ou Shen Zhi, and said, “Sit down. It seems I have wronged you in this matter.”
“Grandfather, I truly did my best!” Ou Shen Zhi said earnestly, looking at Old Master Jiang. He had already stopped smiling and now wore a very serious expression.
Old Master Jiang, seeing Ou Shen Zhi’s earnestness, believed his words and sighed softly.
“I’m sorry, it was I who wronged you. I had no idea he was doing such absurd things. Let’s end this matter here. Tianlang Base is now in your hands. Manage it well and don’t follow the same doomed path as your father-in-law!”
Old Master Jiang earnestly spoke to Ou Jin Zhi, not uttering any of the words of blame he had prepared beforehand, instead offering many kind words to appease Ou Shen Zhi.
In the end, Old Master Jiang personally saw Ou Jin Zhi off from the Jiang family home, a gesture of respect that astonished all the onlookers who had been eager for drama, especially Housekeeper Jiang, who nearly dropped his jaw when he saw this scene.
After Ou Shen Zhi had left, Housekeeper Jiang supported Old Master Jiang by the arm, walking back into the villa.
“From now on, be a bit more courteous to Ou Jin Zhi and the young miss, and also, arrange to clean up Jiang Desheng’s assets abroad, even those in his wife’s name. I want to see just how many absurd things Jiang Desheng has done!”
Old Master Jiang, infuriated, addressed Housekeeper Jiang, leaving him even more bewildered as he couldn’t figure out why Old Master Jiang’s attitude had suddenly changed, especially his lack of blame toward Ou Shen Zhi.
“Master, what just happened? As for your son-in-law…”
“His matters are not to be mentioned again; he is the Jiang family’s son-in-law, naturally, he wouldn’t do anything against the Jiang family’s interests. No one should bring this up again after this.”
Old Master Jiang didn’t want to explain to the housekeeper; he pushed the housekeeper’s arm away, pushing him aside, and went upstairs, using his cane.
The housekeeper, watching Old Master Jiang’s retreating figure, was puzzled by his thoughts. He stood there rubbing his hands, then turned around and left to arrange the things Old Master Jiang had instructed.
Ou Shen Zhi drove away from the Jiang family and then dialed Mu Chengxi’s phone, which, after several rings, was answered.
“Are you busy?”
“Hmm, not really, I’m dealing with some issues, what’s up?” Mu Chengxi answered Ou Shen Zhi’s question with a light tone.
“Oh, then I’ll keep it short, that old man indeed summoned me to the Jiang family, I’ve already handed over the documents I had prepared in advance, he doesn’t know the things Jiang Desheng did.”
“I saw something important on his study desk, a land contract, I don’t know what he plans to do with that plot of land on the outskirts of the city.”
Ou Shen Zhi originally wanted to ask about the purpose of that plot of land, but to avoid raising Old Master Jiang’s suspicion, he acted as if he had seen nothing and left the Old Master Jiang’s study.
“That plot on the outskirts? Have someone keep an eye on the movement over there, once something happens, we will naturally know what it’s for?”
Mu Chengxi now didn’t have the extra energy to speculate what those people wanted to do; he was very patient. He didn’t want to waste energy guessing, waiting for things to happen would reveal what those people wanted to do.
“Alright, I’ll have someone keep an eye on it. Don’t worry about the Jiang family’s side; I will take care of it. Just go ahead and do whatever you need to do.”
“Okay, I don’t have anything else, I’ll hang up now. I have a meeting, and after the meeting, I’ll be leaving Beijing for a while.”
Mu Chengxi looked at the time, took the documents passed by Mu Bei, signed his name on them and spoke in a casual tone.
“You’re leaving Beijing again? Your injuries haven’t recovered yet, where can you go? Wouldn’t traveling abroad be inconvenient for you?”
Ou Shen Zhi, thinking of Mu Chengxi in a wheelchair, frowned unconsciously upon hearing his plans to leave Beijing, becoming somewhat concerned about Mu Chengxi’s health.
“My body has mostly recovered, just take good care of the Jiang family for me since Old Master Jiang has already trusted you. Use this opportunity well and don’t miss out on such a good chance again.”
Mu Chengxi, hearing Jin Zhi’s concern, couldn’t help but smile lightly; it seemed his act was quite successful, even Ou Shen Zhi believed he had leg issues.
Just then, a call came in on Mu Chengxi’s phone, and he said lightly to Ou Shen Zhi.
“I have another matter, so I’ll hang up now…”
