Chapter 480: Jiang Baobao's Breakdown and Outburst

Lu Qing'er was still somewhat dazed and unable to collect her thoughts.

Xia Huiya repeated the question: "Did you remember?"

"I... I remembered."

Lu Qing'er nodded blankly, then couldn't help but glance at Old Madam Jiang, who lay on the floor with her eyes wide open, no longer breathing.

Xia Huiya knew she definitely wouldn't go out and talk nonsense, so she said rapidly: "Go down and call your father up; don't say anything else, and don't make a scene."

"Okay..."

Lu Qing'er had completely given up on thinking; she carefully opened the door, confirmed that there was no one in the hallway, and then walked out with unsteady steps.

Downstairs—

Lu Guohui had already been waiting impatiently.

"Why did you just come out? Where is your mother?"

Seeing that it was only Lu Qing'er, Lu Guohui asked with some impatience.

Lu Qing'er's face was deathly pale; she leaned over to his ear and whispered: "Dad, Mom says... she wants you to go to the study, there is a very urgent matter..."

"The study?"

Lu Guohui was stunned for a moment and looked back toward the villa in confusion.

Seeing Lu Qing'er's expression, he didn't ask another word and turned to get out of the car.

The two of them, one after the other, returned to the villa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they went upstairs, they saw Xia Huiya standing outside the study door.

"Qing'er, you go back to your room first; I have something to discuss with your father."

Xia Huiya waved at Lu Qing'er, signaling her to leave.

Lu Qing'er nodded and immediately walked toward her room without saying a word.

Lu Guohui looked at Xia Huiya and asked in a low voice: "What on earth is the matter? Have you forgotten that we still have... tonight?"

"Go in and see for yourself."

Xia Huiya shot him an annoyed look and opened the study door a crack.

Lu Guohui didn't know what she was up to, so he pushed the door open.

The next second, his eyes widened violently!

"This... this is..."

His whole body stiffened; he immediately grabbed Xia Huiya and pulled her into the study with a backhand motion, slamming the door shut with a bang!

"What... is going on?"

Lu Guohui's voice trembled as he looked at Old Madam Jiang, who was lying motionless on the floor, and asked hesitantly: "She... she is..."

"Dead."

Xia Huiya spoke coldly, her gaze sweeping over the face of Old Madam Jiang, who had died with her eyes wide open, yet there was no panic in her eyes.

Because there was no other way.

She had to do this!

Lu Guohui did not speak for a long time.

He forced himself to calm down before asking: "What exactly happened?"

"She seems to have discovered something."

Xia Huiya glanced at the cabinet where the medicine was kept and explained: "I came back to get something just now and saw the old woman sneaking around in the study, right in front of the medicine cabinet. I suspect... she might have discovered something, or that wretched girl Jiang Baobao sent her to find something, so... she absolutely cannot be left alive!"

Lu Guohui was shocked upon hearing this and subconsciously glanced toward the cabinet.

Seeing that the electronic lock showed no signs of being tampered with, he felt relieved, but couldn't help but frown.

"But... now that this old woman is dead, I'm afraid Jiang Chenghao's side will..."

"We can't worry about that much anymore. At worst, we'll pay someone to take care of him, move him to a better room, lock him up, and forbid anyone from visiting! No matter what that girl Jiang Baobao does, she can't force her way in, right? Besides, Jiang Chenghao can't leave here at all; he will have an episode in any other environment!"

Xia Huiya had already quickly organized her thoughts and decided on a countermeasure.

"What if she calls the police and forces them to come and demand him?"

Lu Guohui was still somewhat uneasy.

Xia Huiya immediately said: "Then we'll send him away! Tell her Jiang Chenghao ran off on his own! Anyway, as long as he is still in our hands, when we need him in the future, how he went crazy and when he went crazy will all be up to us to decide, won't it? Wasn't the original plan to abandon Jiang Chenghao after the Jiang Family's old woman died of old age? Now it's just happening a little earlier..."

Lu Guohui did not speak.

Xia Huiya suddenly thought of something; she walked quickly to his desk, pulled open a drawer, took out a stack of money, and stuffed it into Old Madam Jiang's hand.

Lu Guohui watched her finish everything in silence, and finally made up his mind.

"I received a call yesterday saying the surveillance in the warehouse had inexplicably failed for half an hour... and today this old woman came to the study..."

Lu Guohui muttered, exchanging a look with Xia Huiya.

He then continued: "I just don't feel at ease about the surveillance matter. That girl Jiang Baobao... she might already know something. It's time to discard this chess piece, Jiang Chenghao... Let's stop operations at the warehouse for a while, find a way to find a suitable place as soon as possible, and if we really can't move him, then just push Jiang Chenghao out!"

Xia Huiya's expression was also somewhat tense; she urged him hurriedly: "Then let's do as I said. Notify Jiang Baobao and have her come to collect this old woman's body!"

Li Mansion—

Jiang Baobao had just finished dinner with the three little ones and was playing with them in the living room.

Unexpectedly, her cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing it was Xia Huiya's number, she hung up the phone without a moment's hesitation.

"Mommy, aren't you going to answer the phone?"

Yanbao looked at Jiang Baobao's phone with some confusion.

Jiang Baobao shook her head, and before she could speak, she heard the phone ring again!

It was still Xia Huiya calling.

Jiang Baobao wanted to hang up again, but her movements hesitated and stalled for a moment.

She pondered for a moment, then still answered the phone.

"Hello? What is it?"

Jiang Baobao asked in a cold tone.

The three little ones were all well-behaved and didn't speak, waiting for Jiang Baobao to finish her call.

But unexpectedly, the next second, they saw her stand up abruptly!

"What did you say?"

Jiang Baobao's face was full of panic and disbelief; as she spoke, she was already running with large strides toward the direction of the door!

"Mommy! Where are you going?"

Mobai and Tiantian immediately chased after her without looking back!

Yanbao also wanted to follow, but his footsteps suddenly stopped; he pondered for two seconds, then turned and ran straight upstairs!

Inside the study—

Assistant Chen was reporting what he had investigated to Li Beijue.

"President Li, we found that the owner of that warehouse is the boss of a physiotherapy center in the city, he..."

"Daddy!!!"

The door to the study was suddenly pushed open; Yanbao rushed in hurriedly, grabbed Li Beijue's hand, and wanted to make him get up.

"What's wrong?"

Li Beijue was startled by the little one and hurriedly picked him up.

"Daddy! Mommy just answered a phone call and then left the house without looking back! You go find her quickly!"

Yanbao said anxiously; as soon as his voice fell, he saw through the window that Jiang Baobao's car had already driven out of the courtyard!

"Daddy! Go chase her quickly!"

Yanbao struggled anxiously in Li Beijue's arms.

Li Beijue quickly turned his head to glance, also somewhat surprised, and hurriedly put Yanbao down.

"Yanbao, you wait here, Daddy is going now!"
