Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 538: Borrowed by the Strategy Team Again
After kicking the person, Jiang Xingye pulled Ning Wei aside and examined her carefully. He looked at the wounds on her arm, the wound on the corner of her mouth, and the red marks on her wrist. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was in a low mood.
"It's nothing. I tore my lip by peeling off some tape myself, and the injury on my arm is just a minor one."
"She's bleeding."
"They're all just minor abrasions."
When the police arrived, they almost couldn't tell who the victim was for a moment.
"Ms. Ning, please bandage your wound first, and then please come with us to make a statement."
"Okay." Ning Wei leaned against Jiang Xingye, her tone calm.
The case is actually quite simple and straightforward; the statement only involves asking some detailed questions.
How did they break free of the rope?
"Before tying me up, I hid a small knife in my hand, just for decoration, which I kept hanging on my bag."
"Given your fighting skills, you are fully capable of resisting. Why did you get on the bus?"
"I guess I'm just worried. My boyfriend was bullied by them since he was a child and he has severe post-traumatic stress disorder."
"Miss Ning, this is highly inadvisable and very dangerous," the young man opposite said seriously.
"I'm sorry, I'll definitely be more careful next time," Ning Wei said.
After giving their statements, Ning Wei and Jiang Xingye returned home.
"Based on your understanding of your father, do you think he would let Jiang Xingyu go to jail?"
Jiang Xingye took a deep breath: "It's not up to him. I will never let them protect Jiang Xingyu."
"No, if we have enough chips, we can actually let him go this time."
"no."
Ning Wei hesitated for two seconds before letting them kidnap her. She had her reasons. She had a way to save her life and could use this incident to negotiate with Grandpa Jiang.
"Okay, if the Jiang family comes looking for you, you should act as if you are in great pain and torn between two options, and take the opportunity to propose separating from the Jiang family."
"slight!"
"Listen to me, going up against them at this point will only allow us to hold off a minor player like Jiang Xingyu, and it will also expose your trump cards. It's not worth it. We need to use my injuries to achieve the greatest possible result, otherwise my blood will have been shed in vain."
"I disagree, I disagree!" Jiang Xingye said emotionally. "Because of me, you have been implicated. I can't even avenge you. The biggest restraint I've shown is not killing Jiang Xingyu on the spot."
He could tolerate it. If they had kidnapped him today, he wouldn't mind letting Jiang Xingyu go to achieve their goal. But they messed with Ning Wei!
"Alright, alright." Ning Wei quickly coaxed him, using both coquettishness and reasoning, and finally managed to get him to relent.
The Jiang family acted quickly, inviting the two to their mansion the very next afternoon. Jiang Xingye was taken to the old man's study by his uncle, while Ning Wei was left in the reception room.
Ning Wei almost laughed. At a time like this, didn't they even have the attitude of asking for help? Was this kind of show of force really necessary?
Sure enough, several staff members in uniform carried trays and set up a tea table in front of Ning Wei, along with a jade ornament.
A middle-aged woman dressed elegantly walked in slowly and deliberately, and looked Ning Wei up and down.
"No manners at all! Don't you know to stand up when your elders arrive?"
"Ha, whose elder are you? You think you can just go around pretending to be someone's elder just because you have an old face?"
"You," the woman wanted to smash the teacup in her face, but then remembered something, barely suppressing her temper, and sat down opposite her: "I am Jiang Xingye's elder."
"You might as well just say you're Jiang Xingyu's mother, Xingye. Ha, you couldn't have given birth to someone as good as him."
"Do you still want to enter the Chiang family?"
"Is the Jiang family some kind of imperial palace? You won't die if you don't go in."
The middle-aged woman seemed to have a very bad temper, clenching her back teeth tightly to suppress the urge to hit someone.
"See that?" She pointed to the small jade ornament. "A million-dollar antique jade piece, just a tea-drinking decoration in the Jiang family. Have you ever seen anything like it?"
Ning Wei glanced at the jade ornament again, then looked up at the middle-aged woman with a very sarcastic smile, causing the woman's heart to skip a beat.
"The jade is fine jade, and it is indeed an antique. However, given its shape, it must have come from a tomb. In some dynasties, there was a practice of plugging the nine orifices after a person died. This was probably used to plug the anus. It was fine jade, used by royalty and nobility."
"Nonsense, what have you, an orphan, ever seen?" The woman's face flushed red.
"I am an orphan, but I have knowledge," Ning Wei said with an elegant and casual demeanor. "Mrs. Jiang, I heard that your family rose to prominence early, and you grew up in a wealthy family. How come you don't have any air of nobility in your bones? Everything, no matter its value, is meant to serve people. Your overemphasis on the value of things is because you subconsciously believe that you are not as valuable as the things themselves."
Mrs. Jiang stood up abruptly, the amber necklace around her neck swaying.
"You're not here because of your son? What good will it do you to provoke me?" Ning Wei remained calm.
A middle-aged man entered through the door, grabbed her hand as she was about to lift the teacup, and glared at her fiercely. He turned to Ning Wei and said, "I am Jiang Xingye's father."
"Ha, hiding behind women as always."
"What?"
"You should have the right attitude when asking for help, but I don't want to talk to you. Neither of you can make decisions, so don't waste my time." Ning Wei remained seated, exuding an aura of authority, and coldly surveyed the couple.
The two middle-aged men and women opposite them were so stared at that they didn't dare to say a word.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xingye came down, followed by Grandpa Jiang. Ning Wei glanced at his red eyes, then at the old man.
Grandpa Jiang tightened his grip on his cane; that look was incredibly intimidating. Then he saw her pat Jiang Xingye's arm.
She felt sorry for Hoshino? The old man felt relieved. That was good. Hoshino was, after all, a descendant of the Jiang family who grew up in the family. His feelings for his family were complicated, but not without any.
"Girl, I'm sorry, I'm not strict with him, but we're all family after all. Hoshino is emotional, please try to talk to him."
"Oh? What did he ask for?"
"He wants to separate."
"Have you agreed?"
A glint flashed in Old Master Jiang's eyes. Did Ning Wei really not care about the Jiang family's money? Did she really intend to send Jiang Xingyu to jail? That would be troublesome; the Jiang family couldn't afford to lose face like that.
"He is my grandson after all, and I can't let him keep this bottled up. Here's what I'll do: I'll give him five percent of the group's shares, and I'll also transfer another two hundred million from my personal account. Consider it my way of consoling you."
Jiang Xingye went all out with his act, whispering an apology to Ning Wei: "I'm sorry, he is, after all, my grandfather."
Ning Wei looked over with a deep gaze and remained silent for a long time, creating a tense atmosphere.
"Sigh, three hundred million."
"Let's make this clear: Hoshino isn't using the money to help your Jiang family expand their market," Ning Wei finally said.
"Of course not, it was the settling-in allowance given by me, the grandfather." Old Master Jiang shrewdly chose the explanation that was most acceptable to them at the moment.
