Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 704 Jiang Qiu Poisons
"However, it seems that Old Sir Jiang had already said the last incident was the last time."
Old Sir Jiang’s words, once spoken, always counted.
It looked like someone might indeed be in for a tough time.
Relying on the Jiang family and Old Sir Jiang’s favoritism, Jiang Qiu had done quite a few heartless things.
Everyone knew about those, but what about the unknown?
It had to be admitted, that woman had real guts, daring to do anything.
From beginning to end, Jiang Huai heard every single word crystal clear, but putting them together just didn’t make sense.
"Hold on, Dad, can you explain that more clearly?" he asked.
Father Jiang rolled his eyes:
"What an idiot!"
Ouch, his own flesh and blood no less.
But then again, it’s only to one’s own child that one can scold so blatantly, right?
Outside, the Jiang family always presented themselves as literate and reasonable; never had they shown a red face to outsiders, let alone curse someone to their face.
Of course, Jiang Ye was an exception.
At work, not only did he curse people, but he was also wickedly sarcastic and sometimes turned violent out of the blue.
Otherwise, how did he ever earn the nickname Devil Jiang?
Father Jiang couldn’t bring himself to say it and his gaze hinted for Jiang’s mother to explain.
Jiang’s mother rolled her eyes before she explained:
"Your Aunt secretly poisoned Mrs. Gu."
???
Poisoned?
Jiang Huai’s entire face spelled out ’What the heck.’
"Why would she do that?" he asked.
This was when Jiang Ye, who had been silent throughout, spoke up:
"What reason could there be? It’s all because of that man from the Gu Family, isn’t it?"
Jiang Huai already knew some of the rumors; he just hadn’t dared to believe them.
But now...
"Brother, is it true with Aunt and the Gu Family?"
Mr. Jiang, how could you be so naive?
Overall, it was all because he’d been too well protected by his parents and elder brother.
Although busy with Jiang Group’s business, Jiang’s mother was still in charge at the company.
As for the household, there was even less to worry about.
Compared to that, Jiang Ye was indeed more composed and discerning, while Jiang Huai, well, he was probably what you’d call the proverbial naive younger brother.
"No smoke without fire, why would people talk for decades if there was nothing?"
"If you still don’t believe it, you can go get a DNA sample from the Gu Family heir and compare it with Jiang Qiu."
At this, Jiang Huai’s eyes widened even further:
"DNA?"
Even a fool knew what that meant, didn’t they?
An heir from the Gu Family and his own aunt?
The two of them?
"This..."
He stuttered, either from shock or something else.
Jiang Yekou didn’t have the patience to explain any further, and Father Jiang and Jiang’s mother were even less inclined to bring it all up again.
Jiang Qiu had poisoned Mrs. Gu, and now the matter was widely known, making it troublesome to deal with.
Plainly speaking, this was a criminal matter!
Maliciously endangering someone’s life!
"Where is Jiang Qiu now?" asked Jiang Ye.
Jiang’s mother huffed:
"Mr. Gu would have let it go, but Mrs. Gu didn’t agree; she’s been detained."
Detained?
In such a short period, this was the second time Jiang Qiu had been detained, right?
Once bitten, twice shy, as they say?
To say Mrs. Gu was unaware of these affairs was impossible.
But after enduring so much for so many years, now reaching a point of endangering her own life, she was naturally unwilling to stay silent any longer.
Anyway, as long as the Gu Family heir wasn’t stupid, he wouldn’t acknowledge Jiang Qiu in this lifetime, not unless he wanted to forfeit his inheritance to the vast Gu Family estate.
Don’t think Mrs. Gu was easy to bully; her family was powerful.
In the end, Mrs. Gu had never really liked her husband much; for decades, their relationship had been nothing more than courteous.
Otherwise, with those scandals, the average person would have made a fuss long ago, but Mrs. Gu seemed to have never come out and said anything about them.
