Chapter 452

Not long after.

The manor was surrounded by a motorcade.

The servants inside the manor were anxious and uneasy, speculating one after another about what had happened.

One of the servants had a flicker in their eyes.

Jiang Wan gathered everyone together once again.

At this moment, there was no longer a hint of hesitation in her eyes; they were cold and merciless.

If she wanted to find Xiaolingdang, she had to be single-minded and could not allow anyone in the rear to spy on Jinnian and Zhuizhui.

She had to personally find the mole and, by following the mole, find the whereabouts of Xiaolingdang.

Those people had gone to such great lengths to take the child, so they must have had ulterior motives and would not easily kill Xiaolingdang.

"Why did the Madam gather us here?"

"I don't know, let's go over, otherwise the young master will lose his temper."

"That young master is really something, listening so much to a woman's words!"

"Shh, stop talking, let's go quickly."

Jiang Wan looked at the people below and asked only one sentence: "Those who cleaned the pool yesterday, step forward."

No one made a sound.

"I will ask one more time, who is it."

Still, they remained indifferent.

Jiang Wan stopped wasting words and said: "Sheng Ying, do it."

The female bodyguard standing behind Jiang Wan replied: "Yes, Madam."

Sheng Ying was the successor to Sheng Ying.

Sheng Ying was Sheng Tingxiao's personal bodyguard and controlled the secret armed forces of the Sheng family.

Following Sheng Tingxiao's disappearance, Sheng Ying had also vanished.

Sheng Ying had replaced Sheng Ying, having been directly promoted by Jiang Wan to temporarily control the Sheng family's armed forces.

So, why did Sheng Ying listen to Jiang Wan so much?

It was only because Sheng Tingxiao had left that letter, a handwritten letter, in which he gave all the Sheng family's power, all its wealth, all its personnel, and all its control to Jiang Wan, rather than to Sheng Jinnian, who was being groomed as the successor.

When he was gone, Jiang Wan could use this letter to command everyone in the Sheng family.

For Sheng Tingxiao, the most important person in the world was still her.

When she saw the letter, Jiang Wan had held it and cried her heart out.

Afterward, she wiped away her tears, conquered her cowardice, and became strong.

She knew that Jinnian and Zhuizhui still needed her protection, and Xiaolingdang was still waiting for her to save her; she had to guard this home until he returned.

She stood on the balcony, looking ahead with a calm expression, the wind blowing her long hair and revealing her cold, sharp profile.

"Madam, it has been investigated; there are three servants who were near the pool. But no matter how we interrogate them, we cannot determine which one it is."

Sheng Ying's tone was somewhat self-reproachful.

"Bring them up."

These three servants were all veterans of the manor, having worked in the manor for almost half their lives; logically speaking, they should have been the most loyal.

But, once they betrayed, they were also the most ruthless.

The three knelt on the ground, shouting in terror: "Madam, we didn't dare do anything! And we certainly didn't kidnap the young miss!"

Jiang Wan looked at them and asked only one sentence: "How much money did they give you?"

Sheng Ying turned her head sharply to look at the Madam, immediately noticing the key point in the Madam's words—

You.

The servants' faces also showed a moment of astonishment.

This subtle change did not escape Jiang Wan's eyes, and she spoke word by word: "The money must be a lot, enough for you to betray your master and kidnap the young miss you have always taken care of. Did someone also tell you that Sheng Tingxiao would not be coming back?"

With every word that fell, the expressions of the three servants paled by a fraction.

Even though nothing had been said yet, they had confessed to every crime.

Jiang Wan stood up and said: "Sheng Ying, take them down, no need to hold back."

Having received the order, Sheng Ying stepped forward directly and took the three away; this time, she used extreme measures.

Finally, clues were forced out of the mouths of these three people.
