Chapter 302: Make them spit out everything they've embezzled!
Chen Lina quickly chimed in, "The old lady is right. As the only boy in the Jiang family, how could Jiang Di possibly swallow his uncle's money? Qian Sui, you should give the money to Jiang Di right away so he can use it to smooth things over and get your father released as soon as possible. Your father is suffering in there."
The old lady said disdainfully, "In crucial moments, only boys can do it. What can girls do?"
Jiang Qianhui scoffed, "I can give the money to Jiang Di. You can have Jiang Di come and collect it."
When Chen Lina saw that Jiang Qianhui had given in, her eyes lit up.
She smiled smugly and said, "That's right. If you can't save your father, Jiang Qianhui, then let Jiang Di do it. It's always easier for boys to get things done than for girls."
While on the phone with Jiang Di, Chen Lina exaggeratedly said, "I think this case is quite big. We can't be short of money. We need at least 8 million or 10 million to smooth things over. There's a lot of talk about it online, so we need to put in a lot of effort."
Jiang Qianhui said impatiently, "Auntie, did you get through on the phone? Are you talking to me or to Jiang Di?"
Chen Lina said, "The call hasn't gone through yet. Jiang Di probably worked the night shift again last night and hasn't woken up yet. I'm not trying to criticize you, but it's one thing to make Jiang Di work as a security guard, but why don't you treat him better and even make him work the night shift? I heard him say a few days ago that people who work the night shift are exhausted. I'll call him again."
Chen Lina called Jiang Di again, but Jiang Di still didn't answer.
Chen Lina couldn't hold back any longer and muttered angrily, "What on earth is that brat doing? Why hasn't he answered the phone yet?"
Chen Lina cursed silently in her heart. This brat finally agreed, why isn't her son answering the phone? What if this brat changes her mind?
The old lady looked up and said, "What? Why didn't my grandson answer the phone?"
Chen Lina said anxiously, "Please wait a little longer. Jiang Di is probably just too tired from work. I'll call her again."
At this moment, Jiang Qianhui sat down, and the waiting time for the phone call ended again, but Jiang Di still did not answer the phone.
At this point, Jiang Qianhui's patience ran out.
"You don't need to call anymore, Jiang Di won't answer the phone."
Upon hearing Jiang Qianhui's words, Chen Lina was instantly startled. Could something have happened to her son? No wonder this brat gave up so easily. Chen Lina said angrily, "What did you do to my son? Why won't he even answer the phone?"
Jiang Qianhui said with a cold laugh, "How could I dare to do anything to Jiang Di? Jiang Di is the only boy in our Jiang family. If I did anything to him, Grandma would kick me out of the family."
The old lady stamped her cane, stood up, and said, "If you dare to do anything to Jiang Di, let alone being kicked out of the family, I would beat you to death and still be able to face our ancestors."
The old lady was trembling with anger, but Jiang Qianhui calmly said, "Grandma, don't get agitated. There's more to come, so you'd better be careful not to let your body take it."
Chen Lina panicked even more upon hearing this.
"Jiang Qianhui, what exactly did you do to my son? Where is my son?"
Jiang Qianhui tilted her head slightly, her gaze carrying a dangerous undertone as she asked.
"Don't you know what your son has done? Didn't the police call you?"
Police station?
Chen Lina was stunned. Yesterday, while she was playing cards, someone claiming to be from the police station called her and said her son was at the police station.
At the time, she thought it was a scam and hung up without paying attention. Later, she called him several more times, and he just turned off his phone. She was also angry and said that scammers these days are getting more and more arrogant.
But Chen Lina wouldn't admit to it. She angrily said, "No police called me. Don't change the subject! Tell me where my son is! What happened to my son?"
"The fire at the Jiang Group warehouse yesterday was caused by three security guards smoking and drinking inside the warehouse. Your son, Jiang Di, was one of those three security guards."
Chen Lina panicked instantly upon hearing this, never expecting that the fire at the Jiang Group warehouse would be related to her son.
"What nonsense are you spouting? Jiang Di is a good boy, he never smokes or drinks, you're framing him."
"I'd be so bored as to frame him. Do you think I, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, am like you, with nothing better to do than play cards and gossip about others?"
"I don't believe it anyway."
"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter much, but I suggest you raise the money quickly, otherwise your son might have to spend several years in jail."
Hearing that my precious son is going to jail, I'm absolutely furious!
Chen Lina panicked instantly.
"Jiang Qianhui, what nonsense are you spouting? Why should my son go to jail?"
"The Jiang Group's warehouse burned down, resulting in losses of at least 100 million. The police have determined that the fire was caused by Jiang Di's fault. If he actively makes amends for his mistake and gains my forgiveness, he won't have to go to jail. But if he doesn't compensate me at all, he might miss out on his prime dating years, and when he comes out, his peers will all be holding children. Are you willing to let that happen?"
“Jiang Qianhui, you can’t do this. He’s your cousin.”
"What cousin? That's the defendant!"
Jiang Qianhui smiled gently, but that smile was like a sword that pierced Chen Lina's heart.
This is no joke!
"Jiang Qianhui, you can't do this! Grandma, you must speak up for our Jiang Di, or he'll be sent to jail by his own cousin."
The old lady stood up and said shakily, "Is this true? Jiang Qianhui, you absolutely can't do this! Jiang Di is our family's only boy, how can he go to jail? How can he have a criminal record!"
"Grandma, can't you hear me? Jiang Di and two security guards were drinking and smoking in the warehouse, which caused the fire. The direct economic loss is minor, but what he burned were sealed diet pills. Because those sealed diet pills were burned, people online are saying that our Jiang family did it on purpose, that we burned the pills because we felt guilty. And because of the immense public pressure, it's even harder for Dad to get bail. Jiang Di harmed my father, and you're still defending him?"
“Jiang Di didn’t do it on purpose, but no matter what, my Jiang family’s only grandson absolutely cannot go to jail.”
Jiang Qianhui sneered, then calmly said, "It doesn't matter. As long as Auntie compensates our family for the losses, I can not sue Jiang Di and will not let him go to jail."
"Compensate for losses? Where would we get the money to compensate for any losses?"
Upon hearing that she would have to pay compensation, Chen Lina's eyes widened in surprise.
"We don't have any money."
Jiang Qianhui didn't indulge her and calmly said, "In 98, you said Grandma wasn't living well, so you asked my dad to buy a detached villa, which was registered in your name and my uncle's name. It's currently estimated to be worth five million. In 01, Jiang Di was born, and I asked my dad to buy a million-dollar luxury car as a gift."
In 02, when Jiang Di turned one year old, my father bought him a multi-million dollar mansion. In 14, when Jiang Di started junior high school, my father bought him a school district house. In 17, when Jiang Di started high school, another school district house was bought for him. My father owns three houses under Jiang Di's name alone. This is still less than the money my father gives him regularly, plus the properties he buys for my uncle.
You can sell these assets. Then I won't sue Jiang Di.
Chen Lina's face turned green instantly. Was she going to have to return all the benefits she had gained from Jiang Zhengguo over the past twenty-odd years?
