The Byoukidere Is Her Sweetie-Chapter 77 - : 077: Brother Zhi is so bad~

Chapter 77: 077: Brother Zhi is so bad~

The next day, a financial news story hit the top of Weibo’s trending search.

Vice President Jin Song of Huayu was urgently arrested on suspicion of tax evasion and bribery. His brother, Jin Lei, claimed to be unaware and would fully cooperate with the police investigation.

Snow continued for two days, and the sun only appeared on the third day. At nine in the morning, the police station had a visitor.

Tap, tap, tap, tap…

Jin Song, sitting in the interrogation room, could hear the sound of a walking stick hitting the ground before he saw the person.

The visitor was an elderly person with graying hair.

...

She was assisted by someone, holding a walking cane, wearing an emerald and translucent bracelet, her makeup and hair meticulously perfect.

“Are you Jin Song?”

At ten, Qiao Nanchu visited Qingshan Mansion. Jiang Zhi had just woken up, still appearing sleepy.

Qiao Nanchu teased him a bit before getting down to business, “Jin Song has been released.”

Jiang Zhi grunted, his spirit was down, his face showing no surprise, still appearing half-asleep.

“Expected that?”

He did not commit to an answer, grabbed a pullover sweater to put on, and ruffled his tousled hair, “Old Mrs. Jiang still has a sharp edge.”

Qiao Nanchu also inquired with the Criminal Investigation Team. It definitely was Old Lady Jiang’s doing, and he grew curious, “You handed Jin Song’s leverage to Old Mrs. Jiang? Weren’t you aiming to take down Jin Song?”

It had only been forty-eight hours, and the man was already out. This was not like Jiang Zhi’s style.

“Yeah, to finish him off.”

Jiang Zhi, sitting on the couch, slowly sipping warm milk, leisurely responded with this.

“Why was he released then?” Qiao Nanchu, today in a police uniform, his tie undone and slouching against the couch, his righteous expression unable to hide a mischievous smile, asked cheekily, “What is your Old Lady Jiang up to? Sending someone in and then pulling him back out—what’s the meaning of all this?”

Jiang Zhi put down his cup, tossing a marshmallow into his mouth, “Who said it was Old Mrs. Jiang who sent him in?”

Qiao Nanchu raised an eyebrow.

“I gave the stuff to Old Mrs. Jiang, she just handed it to Jin Lei,” holding a glass candy jar without leaving his hand, Jiang Zhi idly fiddled with it, “We, the Jiang Family, don’t like to dirty our own hands.”

Qiao Nanchu unfastened a button of his police uniform, leaned back, and lounged into the sofa, “Old Mrs. Jiang even used Jin Lei’s hand to put the man inside, then why release him?”

“My Fifth Aunt was insulted; how could Old Mrs. Jiang just sit by?” If his guess was right, Old Mrs. Jiang would have demanded some compensation before pulling the strings to get him out.

Such cunning.

Qiao Nanchu laughed, “Your Old Lady Jiang uses others to do her killing. What about you?” He looked at Jiang Zhi, eager, “You’re not just playing around with this whole act, right?”

Indeed, Old Mrs. Jiang was an old fox.

And Jiang Zhi? A cunning fox with even deeper tricks.

He still appeared unconcerned and lazy. “I just said it.”

What did he just say?

“Finish off Jin Song?”

Jiang Zhi, slightly drowsy, lay there with his peach blossom eyes drooping, a faint red at the corners not very noticeable, more charming than a lady but always with a hint of severe allure, didn’t confirm but instead posed Qiao Nanchu a question, “What would you do if someone put you in jail and then you got out?”

“Seek revenge.”

He smiled, as delightful as peach blossoms, “I just love watching the brothers turn against one another and bite each other like dogs.”

No wonder he sent the stuff to Old Lady Jiang and stayed out of it directly. This man plays with people’s hearts and to be honest, Qiao Nanchu has never seen anyone more sinister than Jiang Zhi.

“You Jiang Family folks really don’t like to get your own hands dirty.”

Old Mrs. Jiang is one, and Jiang Zhi is certainly no less.

He still languidly lay there, absently saying, “Send a message to Bao Yi. Huayu is about to implode internally. Tell him not to sit idle but to start closing the net.”

Jin Lei and Jin Song, the brothers turned on each other, a classic case of the fisherman benefiting from the snipe and clam’s fight.

Jiang Zhi, oh Jiang Zhi, ruthlessly cunning.

Qiao Nanchu laughed and cursed him as shameless.

Jiang Zhi hummed, unapologetically, grabbed his phone and dialed a number.

“Vice Director Zhao.”

As soon as Vice Director Zhao picked up the call from this big shot, his voice trembled, “Director Jiang, what can I do for you?”

Seemingly casual, Jiang Zhi asked, “No extras in the scenes this afternoon?”

Vice Director Zhao honestly reported, “No, the afternoon is all main character scenes.”

He didn’t know what he had done to upset the big shot, as the voice came unfriendly, “Why not add some?”

A scene where the main characters confess their love—how do you add extras to that, tell me, how do you add them? Stick in a third wheel?!

Vice Director Zhao was helpless, “It really wouldn’t be appropriate—”

Before he could finish, the call was hung up.

“…”

Really!

Vice Director Zhao was even starting to doubt his life choices, wondering if Director Jiang wasn’t really shooting a grand national espionage film but rather the rise of extras.

At eleven, Zhou Xufang received a message from the group leader, asking if she would take an extra’s role in a scene where the main characters kiss. She would just need to express surprise and then walk by without showing her face, just one shot, and she could name her price.

Name her price…

It must be Jiang Zhi trying to look out for her.

Zhou Xufang didn’t immediately reply to the group leader. She sat in front of the computer, her expression a bit bleak.

Shuangjiang was originally discussing with her the property issue of this building, fearing Jiang Zhi might find something out; they might have to make another move. Zhou Xufang’s crestfallen mood came abruptly.

“Why so gloomy?”

Zhou Xufang let her head sag, unhappy, “I can’t do the extra work.”

Shuangjiang didn’t understand what she meant and sent a string of question marks.

She said, “I’m supposed to go to Moon Bay and can’t bring Jiang Zhi along. I should keep my distance from him.” As she spoke, she became even more despondent, her face showing an utterly defeated expression, “It’s all over TV, stringing someone along when you can’t be together is just trashy.”

Shuangjiang: “…”

Zhou Xufang even knew the term “trashy.”

“But I really want to act,” Zhou Xufang sighed, “they pay a lot.”

Shuangjiang immediately typed a line: “Ah Fang, be honest, it’s not about the money, you just want to see Jiang Zhi.”

Zhou Xufang’s face blushed instantly, she lowered her head, silent, her ears also turning red, then she put her hands on the keyboard and manually replied: “.”

Shuangjiang: “…”

This girl really likes Jiang Zhi a lot.

She had a feeling Moon Bay wasn’t going to happen.

“Ah Fang,” Shuangjiang’s font suddenly turned red, “there’s a new hiring mission.”

Zhou Xufang was still listless: “Oh.”

“It involves protecting someone.”

“Oh.”

Shuangjiang used a large bold font: “The beneficiary, Jiang Zhi.”

Zhou Xufang paused for a moment, her eyes widened, “Who’s hiring?”

“It’s Jiang Zhi’s grandmother.” Shuangjiang added, “The hiring period is one month, with a commission of twenty million.” She asked Zhou Xufang, “Will you take it?”

Zhou Xufang frowned, then relaxed, and tightened again, battling internally for a long time, finally, she said, “I’ll take it.”

“Not keeping your distance from Jiang Zhi anymore?” Shuangjiang teased her playfully.

She turned her head away in embarrassment, speaking earnestly and softly, “I need to make money, or I won’t be able to afford Moon Bay.”

Shuangjiang chuckled.

Zhou Xufang ah, you’ve learned to lie.

The dispirited Zhou Xufang was suddenly spirited again; she replied to the group leader with a ‘go’, then got up to change clothes in the dressing room, carrying two packs of cotton candy Jiang Zhi had given her to eat on the way.

“I’m off to work,” she told Shuangjiang, “Goodbye.”
