Chapter 78

Qin Xue opened her mouth, but said nothing.

She was very clear that Qin Yang definitely was not coming back to recognize relatives.

Having witnessed Qin Yang's abilities, Qin Xue understood that, in his eyes, the entire Qin and Jiang families amounted to nothing.

"I was assassinated by a killer, so I have come."

Qin Yang said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanrou's expression changed slightly.

She stared at Qin Yang and asked, "Do you suspect that I hired a killer to kill you?"

Qin Yang shook his head and said, "No."

"Then why are you here? Seeking the Jiang family's protection? You cause trouble day after day, and now that something has happened, you know to seek shelter at home—don't you think it's a bit late?"

Jiang Wanrou said somewhat sarcastically.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile, then ignored Jiang Wanrou's angry gaze, sat down on his own, his eyes fixed on Jiang Wanrou, and said, "The one who hired the killer—does he come from the Jiang family?"

As soon as he said that, Jiang Wanrou's face changed.

She stared at Qin Yang, coldly laughing, and said, "You're still saying you don't suspect me?"

At this moment, Qin Xue reminded, "Mom, the Jiang family isn't only you; there are others too."

"Who else could it be? Surely not your grandparents?"

Jiang Wanrou said with a cold laugh.

Qin Yang's expression remained unchanged; he merely stared at Jiang Wanrou, his gaze making her heart skip.

"Impossible..."

Jiang Wanrou said.

"Just have them come out, and we'll know."

Qin Yang said.

"Don't even think about it; don't assume others are as petty as you. Your grandparents would absolutely never do such a thing."

Jiang Wanrou said coldly.

Qin Yang sighed and said, "Then there's nothing more to say; the Jiang family can only go bankrupt."

"What are you trying to do?" Jiang Wanrou's face changed dramatically.

Now she is the head of the Jiang family; if the Jiang family went bankrupt, it would be the last thing she wanted to see.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile.

Qin Xue said, "Mom, why not invite your grandparents over?"

"No need to invite; we're here."

Jiang Chang Yong and Qian Hui walked in.

The two of them looked at least ten years older than when Qin Yang had first seen them.

Both of them glared at Qin Yang with vicious eyes, their faces full of resentment.

After the incidents involving Jiang Nan Feng and Jiang Chenglong, they couldn't bear to see reminders of them, so they moved to another residence.

They had received the servant's notice and hurried over.

Originally, the two villas were not far apart.

"Mom and Dad, Qin Yang says someone tried to assassinate him—was it you?"

Jiang Wanrou asked.

She did not believe it.

In their parents' hearts, although profit was the main concern,

under normal circumstances, they would not go so far as to have Qin Yang killed.

After all, Qin Yang is also their grandson.

"I did it."

Jiang Chang Yong said lightly.

Jiang Wanrou was startled, she stammered a bit and couldn't help asking, "Dad, why would you do this? Even if Qin Yang and we aren't close, you wouldn't actually kill him, would you?"

Jiang Wanrou merely wanted to suppress Qin Yang and control him.

But killing Qin Yang, she truly hadn't considered; at most she'd just beat him up to vent her resentment.

Jiang Chang Yong gave a cold sneer, glaring at Qin Yang with resentment, and said, "Of course I want to kill him, to avenge Nan Feng—this bastard killed Nan Feng, your close nephew, and caused our line to die out."

Jiang Wanrou trembled all over, her face full of disbelief.

Jiang Nan Feng is dead, and it's said that Gao Chenchen killed him.

The criminal, while resisting arrest, was shot dead by law enforcement—this is quite normal.

They had also considered taking revenge on Gao Chenchen, but after Jiang Chang Yong looked into it, he discovered that the actual killer was, in fact, Qin Yang.

This matter is actually not hard to investigate.

With the Jiang family's influence, they could easily find out.

He thus fixed on Qin Yang, intending to kill him to avenge his grandson.

"Grandfather, how can you do this? Qin Yang is also your grandson."

Qin Xue said in shock.

Jiang Chang Yong laughed loudly, a look of disdain on his face.

"What grandson? He's merely an outsider; he's the Qin family's grandson, not ours of the Jiang family."

"Quite right—only Nan Feng is our grandson; he killed Nan Feng, causing our Jiang line to end."

Qian Hui said through gritted teeth.

Qin Xue looked at the two in shock.

Even Qin Wan was dumbfounded.

They had thought that, in their grandparents' hearts, their status was about the same as Jiang Nan Feng's.

But now, hearing it from the two, they realized that, in the Jiang family's eyes, they were outsiders.

This gave them a sense of disparity, leaving them feeling very lost.

"You actually killed Nan Feng."

Jiang Wanrou said angrily.

She stared at Qin Yang as if he were an enemy.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile, feeling no turmoil.

He stared at Jiang Chang Yong and the other, saying: "Since you know it was you who hired assassins to kill me, you will receive the punishment you deserve."

"What do you want? Do you think you can still kill us?"

Jiang Chang Yong snorted coldly.

"Killing you would be too lenient; go inside to keep your sons company."

Qin Yang said lightly.

"What do you mean?"

Before Jiang Chang Yong could react, a group of people rushed in.

The leader was none other than Gao Chenchen.

She nodded at Qin Yang, then told Jiang Chang Yong and the other: "You intended to assassinate a senior War Department officer; the evidence is solid—please come with us."

"What?"

"War Department senior officer?"

"Who?"

Afterwards, their gazes fell on Qin Yang, their faces full of disbelief.

"How could it be? Qin Yang is a War Department officer?"

"An officer in his twenties? How is that possible?"

"Not bad."

Gao Chenchen said lightly.

And Jiang Wanrou and the others were also shocked.

Qin Yang actually is a War Department officer.

Those who can be called generals hold extremely high status.

Becoming an officer in one's twenties—how far will one go in the future?

They simply cannot imagine it.

Thinking of the Qin family treating Qin Yang as an ordinary country bumpkin, they practically wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.

"Qin Yang, you won't come to a good end."

Jiang Chang Yong said.

Qin Yang gave a faint smile and said: "Too bad you won't see it."

Jiang Chang Yong and Qian Hui were taken away.

They won't be executed, but they probably won't be released.

"Qin Yang, you can't do that—those are your grandparents; they're so old, you can't lock them up."

Jiang Wanrou reacted and shouted.

Qin Yang snorted contemptuously and said: "I said I'm an orphan, with no parents—where would grandparents come from?"

Jiang Wanrou was almost angered to death.

She gritted her teeth and said: "You're nothing but a beast—you killed your own cousin and had your grandparents arrested; you deserve a bad end."

Qin Yang glanced at her, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Jiang Wanrou was startled by Qin Yang's gaze, instinctively stepped back, slipped, and fell to the ground.

"Miss Jiang, remember this: you and I are strangers; if you keep talking to me like that, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Yang's voice came over, devoid of any warmth.

He left this place.
