The other party is after all a smuggler, and a suspect already detained by them, so they couldn’t just let him be taken away.

”I’m just taking him to meet his accomplice, maybe it could help clear up some of your doubts.”

The police exchanged looks, ”I’ll have to consult with the leader.”

Jiang Zhaolin’s call didn’t go through, but soon enough, Jiang Shiyi and Jiang Chengsi returned, and he hurriedly put away his phone. Jiang Shiyi’s eyes were a bit red, and he still concernedly asked:

”Shiyi, what happened? Is the child okay?”

Jiang Shiyi looked at him but said nothing.

”The lawyer is a bit late, don’t worry.” Jiang Chengsi frowned, wondering why Jiang Xiaowu still hadn’t reported in.

Just as he was muttering to himself, his phone buzzed; it was a call from Jiang Jinsang.

”The lawyer should be arriving soon.” Jiang Chengsi said as he picked up the phone and stepped out of the private room, lowering his voice, ”Jiang Xiaowu, what’s going on? Is everything settled on your end?”

”Don’t let Jiang Zhaolin leave.”

”I certainly won’t let him go. Once you’ve got things solved, I’ll detain him and wait for the police.”

”I have police with me, we’re heading over. Just stall him.”

”No one injured on your side, right? These smugglers are said to be quite ruthless.”

”It’s fine.”

...

Brother Qing was sitting next to Jiang Jinsang, and hearing Jiang Chengsi mention the smugglers being ruthless made his mouth twitch severely!

Aren’t you guys just as ruthless?

Your methods are harsher than ours, striking like you don’t care about life and death. Damn, it’s a day of bad luck, full of misfortunes and evil encounters.

Jiang Jinsang hung up the call and grabbed Brother Qing’s phone, sending out a text.

Jiang Zhaolin was anxious, his phone vibrating, and he secretly glanced at it.

[Done.]

The two words appeared before his eyes, and he looked over at Jiang Shiyi’s ”dejected” appearance, unable to suppress the surge of joy in his heart.

After finishing these tasks, Jiang Jinsang made a call to Tang Wan.

”Wanwan, are you home?”

”No, I’m at Auntie’s house. Mutang insisted on coming back with Tinglan to play. They’re teasing the dog in the backyard. Are you home?”

”No, I might be home late tonight.”

”Will you be back for dinner?”

”Probably not.” Jiang Jinsang knew this matter would take a long time to handle.

”Then I’ll have dinner with the kids here at Aunt’s. Let me know if you want anything. You’ve been so distracted lately, don’t overwork yourself.”

”I know.”

...

The tone was so gentle that Brother Qing, observing from the side, was stunned. Is this really the same person who just smashed his arm with a stick?

Next, things got even stranger as Huo Qinqi started to make calls home to report.

This definitely was not the cold-faced curse demon Huo Qinqi described in the rumors of the underworld!

Brother Qing felt that today too many things had overturned his understanding.

Jiang Chengsi returned after the call, telling Jiang Zhaolin, ”The ’lawyer’ will be here soon, you might have to wait a little longer.”

”I don’t mind. I’m not in a hurry.” Jiang Zhaolin was just thinking.

Shouldn’t that group of people be calling by now?

When exactly was the ransom call coming?

He was still basking in the joy of his plan’s success, unaware that what was coming wasn’t any ”lawyer,” but the soul-rending Rash, who was about to make him feel a living nightmare!

Jiang Shiyi was currently leaning on the sofa, flipping through his phone, and Jiang Chengsi leaned over to take a peek.

At this kind of time...

My dear brother, are you serious?
