Chapter 410: What Is This?
She was trying to be polite and avoided calling Jiang Chenglang by his name.
But she couldn’t bring herself to call him Big Brother just yet.
The thing was, Jiang Chenglang hadn’t given her a reasonable solution to the problem of Jiang Wan.
Back then, when Jiang Chenglang wanted to bring Jiang Wan back to the Jiang family, he had given her a phone call.
Apart from feeling sorry for Jiang Wan, he also told her another reason why he was doing this.
At that time, Jiang Chenglang said that he had wanted to confirm something of great importance to him. In case anything unexpected happened during this period of time, he wanted to keep Jiang Wan under his watch. When the time comes, he would give Jiang Yu a reasonable explanation.
Jiang Yu thought that if only Jiang Wan knew that Jiang Chenglang had taken her back to the Jiang family because he wanted to find more concrete reasons to chase her away in the future, she would probably think that Jiang Chenglang was too cold.
However, even if it was Jiang Chenglang, Jiang Yu wasn’t such an easy person to persuade.
She needed Jiang Chenglang to give her a deadline.
Jiang Chenglang had promised her that he would resolve this before Christmas so that they wouldn’t have to drag it into the New Year.
Jiang Yu thought about it and could accept that.
No matter what, this year’s matter had to end this year, right?
After receiving Jiang Yu’s message, Jiang Chenglang’s dark eyes became colder and colder. He nodded slightly before turning to Jiang Wan and spoke in a deep voice, “Jiang Wan, you’ve been with me for so many years. You should know that what I hate most is people lying to me. I especially hate it when people try to take advantage of me over and over again.
“I thought of our years together and so my heart softened a few times. However, your actions just continue to disappoint me further and further. Do you really think that after being lied to a few times, I would completely trust the words that come out of your mouth?”
Jiang Wan said with tears in her eyes, “Big Brother, I know that ever since Big Sister had come back and that I have done a few mistakes due to jealousy, you no longer trust me. I can understand why you think that way now. After all, what in the world can be unchanging? This includes feelings. I understand.”
What followed was the confrontation between Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Wan. Jiang Yu only needed to be a bystander.
However, she was always impressed by Jiang Wan’s mental fortitude. Right now, she was still trying to play the victim?
Was this because Jiang Chenglang didn’t trust her because he favored her?
But there was no one else here. Other than Jiang Wan, the other three in the room were on the same side. If she wanted to bewitch the enemy, who else could she bewitch?
Wasn’t this just a waste of effort?
Jiang Yu could only find one reason. It was probably because Jiang Wan had always been like this and had gotten used to acting this way.
Jiang Chenglang replied, “Indeed, nothing is unchanging. And some things may be like that from the beginning. Don’t you think so, Jiang Wan?”
Jiang Wan said, “Big Brother, just say what you want to say.”
Jiang Chenglang said in a deep voice, “Rong Qi.”
Rong Qi handed him a document. Jiang Chenglang took it and threw it on Jiang Wan’s bed.
“Take a look. What is this?”
Jiang Wan panicked when she saw Rong Qi take out the document.
However, she pretended to be calm and opened the folder. She took out the information inside. With just a glance, Jiang Wan’s expression froze.
How… how could they have found such a thing?
“Do you think that I won’t investigate the matter? Or were you so confident that I wouldn’t be able to find out the truth? Even if I can’t find my real savior, I won’t let anyone take her name in vain.”
Jiang Chenglang shook his head. “Jiang Wan, you still don’t know me well enough.”
Chapter 411: She Claimed Credit
Although Jiang Chenglang hadn’t found the person who saved him for so many years, he still managed to find a way to prove whether Jiang Wan really was his savior or not.
He just needed more time.
Didn’t Jiang Wan say that she had arrived a day earlier?
There were no surveillance cameras at the resort hotel, nor was there a list of people who had stayed at the resort hotel during that time. There was no way to verify when Jiang Wan had checked into the resort hotel, but there were other ways to confirm her whereabouts.
For example, there were surveillance cameras all along the way to the resort hotel, such as on the high-speed rail and any other means of transportation.
However, the surveillance cameras on the way to the resort hotel weren’t useful because Jiang Wan and her stepmother had traveled to the hotel by car, so this method was cut off.
Jiang Chenglang didn’t know whether the surveillance cameras were really gone or if they had been artificially erased. This route was impassable, so it was impossible that they had taken another route. However, Jiang Chenglang couldn’t think of any other way so the situation fell into a stalemate.
One day, as he watched Jiang play her games, Jiang Chenglang suddenly had an idea.
There was another way.
He knew that Jiang Wan had used a social media account for many years now. She would log in every day and check-in or record where she had been to. They should be able to find some clues there.
Although it was a violation of Jiang Wan’s privacy, Jiang Chenglang couldn’t convince himself if he didn’t get to the bottom of the truth.
That girl who had saved him was the white moonlight that had hung in his heart for many years. He couldn’t accept someone pretending to be her.
When Jiang Wan had claimed this position, this news, seemed totally illogical to him.
Even though Father Jiang had stopped the matter from spreading because he didn’t want the incident to tarnish Jiang Chenglang’s reputation, Father Jiang had doted on Jiang Wan and often told them to treat this sister well.
If Jiang Wan really was the one who had saved him, why would Father Jiang not tell him and show off Jiang Wan’s bravery so that they could remember Jiang Wan’s kindness better?
However, Jiang Chenglang didn’t want to wrongly accuse Jiang Wan.
He needed concrete proof.
However, that social media platform belonged to the Qin clan. It would take some time for him to negotiate with the Qin clan and have them hand over this information. Moreover, the Jiang clan didn’t have many interactions with the Qin clan. Jiang Chenglang wasn’t sure if they would be willing to help him or not.
This would be difficult.
Then, Rong Qi mentioned that they could hire hackers off the darknet and just pay them some money.
They hired the second place on the dark net, a person called Cheese Tart. This was because the first place on the hacker forum, Black, had stopped taking orders even though he had returned to the hacking world.
And this second place seemed to be catching up to the first place. Presumably, this person was also highly skilled.
“Cheese Tart” had accepted the order without hesitation. All they did was raise the price.
Jiang Chenglang had agreed.
Of course, he didn’t know that the money had gone into the pocket of the person standing next to him.
After all, Jiang Yu had really needed the money recently. She had been spending money like water. Anyway, it wasn’t like she was collecting money from Jiang Chenglang for free. She had earned that money based on her own abilities.
Afterward, she had managed to find him a screenshot of Jiang Wan in another city of the day that Jiang Chenglang had mentioned.
At that time, she didn’t know what Jiang Chenglang wanted to do with this information but now she understood.
It turned out that Jiang Wan had falsely claimed credit and Jiang Chenglang wanted to prove that she didn’t do it.
Falsely claimed credit…
Saved him…
A thought suddenly appeared in Jiang Yu’s mind.
The person falsely claiming credit couldn’t have been the original owner, right?
Chapter 412: Has Jiang Wan Finally Failed?
Unfortunately, Jiang Yu had no idea what had happened to the original owner.
The only thing she could tell from the information provided by Jiang Chenglang that the original owner had been in a resort hotel, but how could she have saved someone…
Jiang Yu felt that this information was too vague and it was hard to guess.
But… What could she do?
In Jiang Yu’s eyes, these things were all done by the original owner, she had nothing to do with it.
If Jiang Yu brought it up herself, she would feel like a villain who claimed credit and took away the last things that belonged to the original owner.
On the other hand, she really couldn’t accept other people taking away the original owner’s things, especially when that person was Jiang Wan.
On the other side, Jiang Wan bit her lip.
She really didn’t know Jiang Chenglang as much as she thought. She didn’t know that he was so serious about this!
Just as Jiang Chenglang said, when Jiang Wan decided to claim the credit, she had already confirmed that the surveillance footage had long been lost. So many people have visited the resort, and the staff had changed a few times.
Even if they found someone working during that time, how could they recall a client from that day just by memory? Or any day of the year?
She was certain that Jiang Chenglang wouldn’t find out. Otherwise, this person would have already appeared so many years before. Why was there still a loophole for her?
However, Jiang Chenglang had actually found evidence!
Jiang Chenglang smiled mockingly. “Why don’t you explain yourself now? You finally realized that you can’t make up any more lies?”
His eyes no longer twinkled. He was no longer looking at his close sister from before.
“Jiang Wan, when you were designing these traps, did you ever think of such a day? I don’t think so. Otherwise, how could you be so confident? How could you still think that such a trick would work?”
Jiang Chenglang slowly said, “Do you really take me for a fool?”
Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Chenglang in surprise.
That is exactly what Jiang Wan is trying to say.
She tried to trick you because she thinks you’re stupid and easy to deceive.
However, by using the other party’s trust in her to deceive him, Jiang Wan was crazily testing his limits. Has she finally failed?
Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Chenglang and Jiang Yu, as well as Rong Qi, who was watching from the side. She lowered her head and suddenly laughed softly.
She just smiled and didn’t say anything, much less retort.
Jiang Chenglang frowned slightly and wasn’t in the mood to ask Jiang Wan why she was smiling.
In his opinion, regardless of whether Jiang Wan was laughing or crying right now, it was just a way to stall for time. It wouldn’t make a difference and there was no need to waste any more time.
Jiang Chenglang instructed, “Rong Qi, I’ll have to trouble you later to help Jiang Wan pack up and move.”
Rong Qi replied, “Alright, President Jiang.”
He came here today to wait for Jiang Chenglang’s instructions.
After learning that the person who saved Jiang Chenglang wasn’t Jiang Wan and that Jiang Wan had falsely claimed credit, both Jiang Chenglang and Rong Qi guessed that Jiang Wan had eavesdropped on a conversation in the past, or that she had seen some information from somewhere.
After all, in the past, Jiang Chenglang hadn’t been very guarded against Jiang Wan.
Therefore, they weren’t too surprised when they found out that it wasn’t Jiang Wan after all.
Rong Qi even felt that Jiang Chenglang had let out a sigh of relief, which was followed by anger and disgust.
No one would like to be played with like this, right? Especially when the other party was someone he was close to. That would make people feel even more disgusted.
Jiang Wan covered her mouth as she tried to stifle her laugh. She then raised her head.
However, surprisingly, there was no trace of sadness or disappointment in her eyes, and then she opened her mouth.
