Chapter 481: Li Beijue

Li Beijue drove the car with swift movements and chased after her.

But after driving out of Li Mansion, he saw that the shadow of Jiang Baobao's car was already nowhere to be found on the road.

With no other choice, he had to immediately dial Assistant Chen's number.

"Chen Xi, go check the whereabouts of the Madam's car right now. She should have only just driven off; tell me immediately once you find it."

"Understood."

Assistant Chen, who was still in the study, agreed immediately and hung up the phone, but then suddenly realized something.

Madam?

President Li changed his way of addressing her, but isn't that a bit too fast?

Chen Xi's expression couldn't help but become a bit gossipy; while thinking this, he quickly made a phone call to have someone handle the matter Li Beijue had just entrusted to him.

On the other side—

Jiang Baobao was practically overtaking cars the whole way, speeding toward the Jiang Family.

Her hands gripping the steering wheel couldn't stop trembling, and her whole heart was in chaos.

What did Xia Huiya mean just now?

What did she mean by letting her see her grandmother for the last time?

What happened to Grandmother?

Jiang Baobao didn't dare to think too deeply, dialing Grandmother Jiang's mobile phone over and over again, but there was never an answer.

She was burning with anxiety; seeing the red light end, she immediately slammed her foot on the accelerator and shot straight out!

Grandmother must not be in trouble!

Perhaps it was the Lu Family who deliberately found an excuse to trick her into coming over!

Right!

It must be that!

Grandmother must just be being controlled by them, which is why she couldn't answer the phone!

Jiang Baobao kept comforting herself in her heart, speeding all the way, and finally saw the Jiang Family Villa appear before her eyes.

She parked the car haphazardly and stumbled as she turned to run toward the villa gate.

The villa door was not locked.

"Bang!"

Jiang Baobao burst straight in.

The few servants in the living room were all startled by her; they froze for a moment before hurriedly saying, "You're here. The Master and Madam said to let you go straight to the study upstairs."

Jiang Baobao didn't say a word and turned to head up the stairs.

She headed straight for the study; as soon as she got up the stairs, she saw Xia Huiya standing outside the door waiting for her.

"Oh, you're here."

Xia Huiya's expression was indifferent, having long since lost the emotion from just before.

"Xia Huiya! Where is my grandmother!"

Jiang Baobao strode over and asked in a stern voice.

Xia Huiya did not answer, only reaching out to point at the study door.

Jiang Baobao immediately pushed open the study door with a bang!

The next second, it felt as if lightning had flashed before her eyes.

"Grandmother!!!"

She let out a loud cry and immediately lunged toward the figure collapsed in front of the bookcase!

"Grandmother? What happened to you, Grandmother? Grandmother!"

Jiang Baobao lifted Grandmother Jiang's body up.

Only then did she notice that her body had no warmth left, and even her fingers were slightly stiff.

"Grandmother..."

Jiang Baobao looked at the old woman's wide-open eyes; even though she knew she was no longer breathing, she still carefully reached out to place her hand under her nose.

Immediately after, her eye sockets turned fiercely red.

"Xia Huiya! What did you do to my grandmother!"

Jiang Baobao suddenly raised her eyes, glaring viciously at Xia Huiya and Lu Guohui, who was sitting behind the desk.

How could Grandmother suddenly...

The two of them must be involved!

Jiang Baobao gasped for air, her tears like beads with a broken string, her eyes bloodshot.

"Baobao, calm down first."

Lu Guohui was silent for a long time before finally speaking.

Jiang Baobao immediately turned her head to glare at him.

Lu Guohui's gaze swept over Grandmother Jiang's corpse before he said, "None of us wanted this to happen. Your grandmother... today, while we were away, she came into the study to steal money. Your aunt came back to get something and happened to catch her in the act..."

"Impossible! How could my grandmother steal money!"

Jiang Baobao immediately retorted, holding the old woman in her arms tightly.

Then she heard Xia Huiya suddenly sneer.

"Impossible? Look at what she is pressing down under her body."

Jiang Baobao froze for a moment, then hurriedly checked.

Then she saw a stack of money pressed under Grandmother Jiang's body.

Jiang Baobao widened her eyes abruptly, her teeth instantly biting down hard on her lower lip.

Tasting the metallic tang of blood in her mouth, her mind cleared up instantly.

It couldn't be...

If Grandma were short on money, she would definitely have told her; how could she possibly have come here...

She must have come to look for evidence!

And then she was accidentally caught by Xia Huiya and silenced on the spot!

It felt as if a great gash had been torn open in Jiang Baobao's heart, with cold wind whistling through it.

"Alright, since you're here, hurry up and handle your grandmother's funeral arrangements. I still need to use this study; I can't just keep a dead person here..."

Xia Huiya's voice came again, filled with heavy disdain.

"Even if Grandma came to steal money, how could she possibly... possibly..."

Jiang Baobao could not continue, struggling to suppress herself so she would not cry out loud.

Xia Huiya let out a cold snort and explained: "I caught your grandmother stealing; she felt guilty as a thief and was scared into a heart attack. I wanted to go downstairs to call for help, but her attack was too rapid, and she just passed away like that. There was nothing I could do."

Her tone was righteous and confident, without the slightest hint of a guilty conscience.

After finishing, she deliberately added: "Baobao, don't think your aunt is being heartless. Over these years, I haven't taken care of her any less. Not calling the police now, but letting you take her away to hold a decent funeral, is already giving you plenty of face."

Jiang Baobao did not speak, only looking at Xia Huiya with eyes that wanted to kill.

Lu Guohui also added from the side: "Baobao, your grandmother truly passed away from a heart attack. If you don't believe it, you can go ahead and call the police to have a forensic examiner check."

Lu Guohui already knew that Grandmother Jiang had suffered a heart attack due to verbal provocation, so he spoke with great confidence.

Jiang Baobao's expression, however, turned stern.

Check?

How to check?

Grandma is already gone; should she really let people violate her corpse and disturb her eternal rest after death!

Jiang Baobao took a deep breath and gently closed the old woman's eyes.

Yet she could not forget the sight of her eyes wide open just a moment ago.

What exactly did Grandma experience before she left... that she couldn't even close her eyes until the very last moment of her life...

"Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said; hurry up and take her away."

Xia Huiya waved her hand impatiently.

Jiang Baobao looked at her with red-rimmed eyes and asked intermittently: "I... will ask you one last time, what exactly did Grandma die from..."

"I already said it was a heart attack! If you don't believe it, go check yourself!"

Xia Huiya's tone was sharp, deliberately provoking her: "If you don't take her away now, I really will call the police. Don't blame me for being ruthless then! Someone died in my perfectly fine study, and I haven't even complained about the bad luck..."

"Say that again!!!"

Hearing the word "bad luck," Jiang Baobao's eyes instantly rounded, and she raised her hand and slapped it across Xia Huiya's face!

*Slap! *

Xia Huiya was instantly knocked to the ground in a disheveled state.

Jiang Baobao's teeth were clenched tight, her whole body trembling; she wished she could just strangle Xia Huiya to death.

How dare she...

How dare she say such things to Grandma's corpse in the Jiang Family's Old Residence!

Is she not afraid of retribution!
