Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 146 Preparation for the Roundup_1

Jiang Yonghan could never have imagined Zhou Aifeng saying such things.

Anyone with a shred of humanity wouldn’t describe a stranger in such terms, let alone her grandmother, her mother?

Even the most bitter enemies wouldn’t go that far!

Having lived together for so many years, Jiang Yonghan had only thought Zhou Aifeng had a bad temper; he thought she was normal in all other respects.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood the reason Zhou Aifeng seemed normal was because the children had not yet grown up, and everyone, including himself, indulged her.

Now that his daughter was married and had her own family, Zhou Aifeng had lost her absolute control, and her true colors immediately emerged.

She only cared about her own interests, and when her demands were not met, even human lives didn’t matter to her.

In an instant, a chill ran down Jiang Yonghan’s spine, terrified and relieved that he had managed to share a bed with Zhou Aifeng for decades and still be alive.

If he allowed such a person to reconcile with his daughter, that would truly be harming his child.

With that thought, he immediately got up.

"Where are you going?" Zhou Aifeng asked.

Jiang Yonghan shivered instinctively and said, "Back to Xue’s place."

"What, you came back today specifically to show off the car Xiao Ming bought for you?"

Jiang Yonghan turned around, "I came back to try to talk some sense into you, hoping the family could get along, but you’re unwilling, so there’s nothing I can do."

Zhou Aifeng snorted with laughter, "That bitch Jiang Xue doesn’t listen to me, and you’re not persuading her to come and kneel before me to apologize, yet you’re trying to persuade me?

Mr. Jiang, are you senile? Or is your brain filled with water?"

Jiang Yonghan also became angry, "I’ll say it again, it’s you who intended to harm someone else’s child, why should they apologize to you?"

"Because she doesn’t regard me with respect, killing her child is the punishment she deserves, it’s only natural!"

Jiang Yonghan was utterly despairing and had nothing more to say; he turned and left.

"Stop right there!" Zhou Aifeng commanded, "Leave the car behind. Lei is taking taxis everywhere now; it’s not only a waste of money, he can’t even get a girlfriend.

You’re an old man; you don’t need the car."

"The car was bought by Xiao Ming; I don’t have the right to dispose of it as I wish."

"What?" Zhou Aifeng’s eyes widened as if she had heard the most preposterous thing, "You’re his father-in-law, you can do whatever you want, even if it’s slapping him across the face, he still has to take it, understand?"

Jiang Yonghan shook his head, pointing to his own face, "I don’t understand, because I have dignity."

With that said, he didn’t care about how Zhou Aifeng was screaming; he slammed the door and went downstairs.

Zhou Aifeng hadn’t expected this stubborn old man to defy her, and after being stunned for a while, she remembered to chase after him. However, when she got downstairs, the car was nowhere in sight.

Furiously stamping her foot, the words Xiao Ming had said to her that night suddenly surfaced in her mind, echoing in her ears, over and over, unshakable.

After pondering for a long time, she rushed upstairs, grabbed her cellphone and dialed her son’s number, "Lei, come home for dinner tonight; I have something important to discuss with you."

At one in the morning, Xiao Ming was woken up by the vibration of the cellphone; he looked up to see it was Jiang Xue’s phone ringing, with the caller ID showing Lei.

He carefully withdrew his arm from under his wife’s neck, taking the cellphone to the living room balcony.

"Sis! Sis! Save me, sis..."

The moment he answered, high-pitched screams from Jiang Lei came through the earpiece.

Xiao Ming spoke calmly, "Your sister is asleep." freēwēbηovel.c૦m

The other end went silent for a while, before Jiang Lei cautiously asked, "Sis, brother-in-law, could you let my sister take the call?"

"I told you, she’s asleep. If it’s urgent, tell me," Xiao Ming leaned out the window and lit a cigarette.

Jiang Lei was silent again, then suddenly burst into tears, "Brother-in-law, please save me! I’ve lost a lot of blood; I’m gonna die..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Xiao Ming interrupted, "What did you do to bleed so much? What’s the situation? Explain clearly."

"I... my mom chopped off my left little finger while I was asleep..."

Xiao Ming’s eyebrows shot up, and he thought to himself, what a ruthless woman indeed!

"Where are you now?" he asked.

"I ran out. I’m just outside the community."

Xiao Ming curled his lips in distaste.

A man in his twenties and after getting injured, he didn’t think of going to a hospital, only to call his family. Zhou Aifeng really turned him into a useless person.

"Did you bring the severed finger?"

"I did. I’ve heard before that it can be reattached."

Good, he wasn’t completely foolish.

"Then don’t stand there dazed, hurry up and take a taxi to the hospital."

"I... I’m just wearing shorts and didn’t bring any money."

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes and said, "I remember there’s a police station not far from your community.

Go report to the police. They will definitely take you to the hospital.

Once you get there and know exactly where you are, tell me, and I’ll rush over with your sister right away."

He ended the call and, drawing hard on his cigarette, cursed hatefully, "That wretched woman, choosing to act at night, preventing my wife from sleeping well. If I don’t make her suffer in her old age, I’m not a Xiao!"

After finishing his cigarette, he went to wake his father-in-law and wife.

When Jiang Yonghan heard about the horrendous act Zhou Aifeng had committed, he was so shocked that he almost had a heart attack.

Jiang Xue was not faring much better, her eyes reddened immediately, and she wanted to run out without even changing her pajamas.

It took Xiao Ming a good while to coax both father and daughter into a temporary calm.

Soon, Jiang Lei called again, but this time it was a police officer on the other end.

Learning that Jiang Lei was not in critical condition and had already started the surgery, Jiang Yonghan and his daughter Jiang Xue finally let go of their worries.

The police officer also mentioned the arrest of Zhou Aifeng and requested they come to the police station as soon as possible to answer some questions. Both father and daughter exchanged a look, showing no sign of concern in their expressions.

While Xiao Ming was driving his wife and father-in-law to the hospital, two inconspicuous vans entered a shantytown and stopped at the mouth of a narrow alley.

The van doors opened, and a dozen men got out, quickly accompanying a middle-aged man into the alley.

At the gate of a yard deep within the alley, Wan Xingping checked his watch and said, "Brother Hu, they should be here soon.

You must have heard of Yan Yongxing. He’s ruthless and unpredictable. Be on your toes.

We’re all in this for the money, and there’s no need to cause trouble now when we’re close to success."

Zhang Kehu spat a wad of saliva, "Don’t worry! I know what I’m doing."

Then, the sound of approaching footsteps could be heard, and Wan Xingping perked up, "They’re here."

As the footsteps drew nearer, he quickly went to greet them, bowing and scraping, "Brother Xing, for such a small matter, why would you come in person?"

"A small matter?" Yan Yongxing didn’t stop walking, glancing at him sideways, "Old Wan, you seem rather confident! Not even putting an ancient tomb in your eyes."

Wan Xingping chuckled, playing along, "It’s just that I was worried about you overworking yourself! With your wealth and status, it’s not worth it to lose sleep over some relics."

"Cut the crap, where’s the tomb? Lead the way, I want to see it."

"It’s just over here. Watch your step."

Bowing, Wan Xingping led the way, looking in Zhang Kehu’s view no different from a eunuch in a Qing Dynasty drama.

Once the group had entered the yard, Zhang Kehu glanced at the two enforcers left outside to keep watch, made a strange gesture by scratching his head, and then turned to close the gate.

From a rooftop in the distance, an undercover cop put down his infrared binoculars and spoke into the walkie-talkie, "Big fish has surfaced, get ready to cast the net! Repeat, big fish has surfaced, get ready to cast the net!"
