Chapter 77: The Assassin the Jiang Family Hired

Jiang Li lowered her head, not daring to look at Qin Yang, and instead said, "The grudge against one's parents must be avenged."

Qin Yang didn't say anything, but instead asked, "Who told you to kill me?"

"The Jiang Family."

Jiang Li said.

"The Jiang Family?"

Qin Yang was indeed somewhat surprised.

He originally thought it was Qin Weiye who did it.

He never expected it to actually be a mission issued by the Jiang Family.

"Although I took the mission, I didn't complete it; there might still be others who will act against you."

Jiang Li said with some worry.

"It's fine, don't worry; I just need to know who wants to strike at me."

Qin Yang said.

"Hmm."

Jiang Li nodded.

She hesitated a moment, then said, "I will keep an eye on those assassins; if any assassin enters Nan Cheng, I will do my best to help you deal with them."

She didn't dare say she would take care of all of them.

Jiang Li has some ability, but among the assassin world, experts are everywhere.

Even if she were more confident, she wouldn't consider herself stronger than all assassins.

There are definitely some she cannot beat.

So she only said she would do her best to deal with them.

"But the most crucial thing is still to get the Jiang Family to cancel this mission."

Jiang Li said.

"Do you think I would be afraid of those assassins?"

Qin Yang asked amusedly.

Naturally, she wasn't afraid.

Jiang Li realized this, felt a bit embarrassed, and said, "I was overthinking."

"Go ahead, handle things swiftly; when you're done, if you have nowhere to go, you can come find me."

Qin Yang said.

"Really?"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, she looked at Qin Yang with some disbelief.

He actually supported her taking revenge, and even let her go to him after she avenged herself.

"Thank you."

Jiang Li said.

A sense of endless possibility arose in her heart, and she felt a little excited.

"As for the assassin matter, you don't need to worry about it; it's been a long time since anyone dared to move against me, and I really want to know what progress the assassin world has made lately."

Qin Yang said lightly.

Jiang Li stuck out her tongue.

Qin Yang really is too domineering.

In his tone, he utterly disregarded the people of the assassin world.

Jiang Li left.

Everything she needed to do has already been done.

Qin Yang watched Jiang Li's retreating back, and he shook his head.

What a fine girl, yet because of a family misfortune she has come to this point.

Moreover, this matter truly isn't the fault of Jiang Li's parents.

It was their parents' most trusted friend who set up a scheme against them, and Jiang Li's father still owed that person a life-saving debt.

They never imagined that the one they ultimately rescued would be a white-eyed wolf (an ingrate).

Killing that person is the best justification to the good people of this world.

Qin Yang turned these thoughts over in his mind.

He thought of the Jiang Family.

Who exactly did this?

Jiang Wanrou? Or perhaps his so-called maternal grandparents.

Thinking this through, Qin Yang prepared to personally go pay them a visit.

……

Qin Weiye, because of Qin Li's death, became even more diligent and also tried to curry favor with Jiang Wanrou.

This made Jiang Wanrou's attitude toward Qin Weiye grow better and better.

This made Qin Xue see it with her eyes and feel anxious in her heart.

She clearly knew that when Qin Li was fine, Qin Weiye still wanted to harm her and her mother.

Now that Qin Li is dead, has he reformed?

Qin Xue completely does not believe it.

Qin Weiye doing this can only mean one thing: what he is plotting is considerable, so he can endure it.

Thinking of this, Qin Xue many times wanted to remind her mother.

But the words were at her lips, and she couldn't say them.

She knew very well that even if she spoke, her mother wouldn't listen to her.

She trusted only her own judgment, and she was truly devoted to Qin Weiye.

Now, love-addled, she naturally believed Qin Weiye's words even more.

"Sis, why do you look so awful? Is something wrong with Mom and Dad?" Qin Wan asked curiously.

At this moment, Qin Xue couldn't help but say: "Don't you notice anything wrong with Dad? Even before, Dad was never this good to Mom."

Hearing Qin Xue's words, Qin Wan laughed: "Isn't that a good thing? If Mom and Dad get along, our family can be harmonious."

"Don't you feel something's off?"

Qin Xue said in surprise.

Qin Wan, however, laughed and said: "What's wrong? He's our biological father—how could he harm us? Sis, why don't you trust Dad?"

Because, I have already experienced persecution.

If Qin Yang hadn't happened to pass by, she would already be dead.

Qin Xue also realized that, whether it was Qin Wan or Mom, they now trusted Dad too much.

If I were to say anything, I'd definitely be seen as problematic, and possibly even driven out of the house.

By then, if Qin Weiye wanted to do something to me, it would be easy.

Thinking of this, Qin Xue could only endure.

Just then, a servant rushed in from outside, nervously reporting: "Master and mistress, the young master has returned."

"Which eldest young master?"

Jiang Wanrou furrowed her brows.

Jiang Nan Feng was taken away—could he possibly come out so quickly?

If that's the case, she couldn't possibly return to the Jiang family either.

"It's not the young master Jiang Nan Feng—it's the young master Qin Yang, walking toward the inside."

The servant said.

Qin Yang?

How did he come?

Could it be that Su Nuan Yue dumped him, so he came to find me?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wanrou immediately showed a smug expression.

"Let him in."

Qin Weiye's expression shifted slightly, and he couldn't help but say: "That guy is just a jinx—why let him in?"

"He's my biological son; if he listens a little, everything of mine will be his in the future—what jinx or not jinx."

Jiang Wanrou said.

Having said that, she wore a doubtful stare, fixed on Qin Weiye, and said: "You're still targeting Qin Yang—are you still thinking about that illegitimate child in your heart?"

Qin Weiye shuddered, hurriedly shook his head, and said: "Wife, you've misunderstood—I don't even know where that illegitimate child is now, how could I still be thinking of him?"

Qin Weiye put on a righteous, solemn air, which made Qin Xue curl her lip.

If she didn't know Qin Weiye's character and had heard their plans, she would have believed them.

No wonder Mom was completely deceived back then.

Qin Weiye really is too good at deceiving people.

"As long as you know, if I find out you went to see that illegitimate child, don't blame me for being harsh—bring Qin Yang in."

Jiang Wanrou said.

Her words had barely fallen when Qin Yang walked in.

Upon seeing Qin Yang, Qin Weiye's spirit suddenly tensed.

He stared at Qin Yang, wondering if he was about to expose his own plan.

Anyway, by then he'd flatly deny it—see what they could do.

Having made up his mind, Qin Weiye wasn't too worried.

Just then, Qin Yang walked in from outside.

The smile on Jiang Wanrou's face vanished instantly.

"You finally know to come home? Are you planning to acknowledge me as your mother?"

Jiang Wanrou said lightly.
