Chapter 2527 None of them are innocent

Chapter 2527

Then they sent people to scoop up the body parts and stuff them into large plastic boxes with shovels.

Then they pushed these plastic crates to the funeral home.

That night, the funeral home was working non-stop, and the fire didn't stop until after 10 a.m. the next day.

The bloodstains in the lobby were easy to remove; they were simply washed with water and quickly went down the drain.

The evidence of those people's existence was thus erased.

Jiang Wan watched them do all this, and her mood darkened.

Qiao Liancheng came over and looked at her, then asked in a low voice, "Are you sad?"

Jiang Wan nodded and said, "I know I shouldn't sympathize with them, but I'm wondering if these people died because of me?"

Qiao Liancheng laughed and said, "Then do you think it counts?"

Jiang Wan thought for a moment and said, "No, they brought it on themselves."

Qiao Liancheng gently patted her head and said, "That's right, don't get stuck on a rut."

"This world has always been a dog-eat-dog world, and these rules have never changed."

"Moreover, each of these people has taken many lives on their hands. No one is innocent. It's just that they died in this way, which is somewhat frustrating."

Jiang Wan nodded.

She agreed with this point.

Qiao Liancheng then said, "I received a notice today that I will probably be leaving."

Jiang Wan looked at him in surprise and asked, "Is there a mission?"

Qiao Liancheng hummed in agreement and said in a low voice:

"Do you remember that freshman when we first enrolled?"

"Our group won and then got a chance to visit an air force base."

"This is the time to fulfill our promise."

“Yuan Xiaohua asked me if I would like to visit the air force base. Of course I wanted to go. Besides, there’s nothing for me to do here anymore. I’m just wandering around here all day without any use for my skills. Even if there is a need, Dong Liao and the others can help.”

He paused for a moment and then added, "More importantly, I feel very reassured with Ono by your side."

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Go and take care of your own things. You should have your own life, especially since your studies have been delayed for a long time."

"It's time to go back and catch up on the progress."

Qiao Liancheng hummed in agreement, still somewhat reluctant, and held her in his arms, leaning on her shoulder as he whispered:

"Finish things here and go back quickly. Once you're back in Yanjing, I can still find time to visit you."

"You're in Hong Kong, it's so hard for me to even see you."

Jiang Wan nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I still need to go back and help Yuan Xiaohua find those military bases."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "When are you planning to leave?"

Qiao Liancheng said, "The day after tomorrow, isn't there an auction tomorrow? I'll leave after the auction is over."

Jiang Wan agreed, "Okay!"

Let's turn our attention back to Yanjing City.

Jia Haixia and her two children stayed in the safe house for almost half a month before Yuan Xiaohua informed her, "The matter outside has been resolved, and you can go home now."

Jia Haixia was framed; the person who set this up was a member of the Tang family.

Yuan Xiaohua said, "Their goal is to get you to seek a private settlement with them. They set this up to control you. Once they get the evidence, they will come out and smear you."

"We'll make you withdraw from the appraisal association."

"From then on, he had no standing whatsoever in the field of antique appraisal."

Jia Haixia asked, "I don't understand. I'm just an antique appraiser. Even if they let me go home, what impact would it have on them?"

Yuan Xiaohua took out a stack of documents and handed them to her, saying, "Take a look at these first."

Jia Haixia took it, opened it, and saw that it contained reports from other people, mostly about being scammed when buying antiques.

The following are the results of an investigation by some National Security Bureau personnel.

This investigation report details how the Tang family secretly set up some shady workshops to make replicas of antiques.

As can be seen from the photos, the replicas of the antiques are almost identical to the real ones.

They can make any year they want using high-tech methods.

Seeing this, Jia Haixia understood. She asked Yuan Xiaohua, "So, it's because I was blocking their way?"

Yuan Xiaohua nodded, sighed softly, and said, "Nowadays, everything is about money."

"To ruin someone's livelihood is to kill their parents."

"These people are almost insane when it comes to money."

“A piece of blue and white porcelain that has just been made can be transformed into an antique from the Tang Dynasty after going through a series of processes.”

"If you calculate the cost, it's just a vase that costs three or four yuan. After being 'baptized,' it's transformed into an antique vase that costs thirty or forty thousand yuan."

"You can imagine how much profit there is, while the cost of those chemicals is less than 5 yuan."

"The key is that after using it once, you can use it again next time."

Upon hearing this, Jia Haixia's face turned red with anger.

She said angrily, "With these scoundrels around, how many people will suffer losses and be deceived in the future?"

"Even when it comes to appraising antiques, it costs a lot of money to appraise each piece. Moreover, if the appraisal is unsuccessful, it's even more of a rip-off."

"No wonder they wanted to kill me."

Jia Haixia would never lie about something so trivial.

But if she dies, all those people at the appraisal association have been bribed by the Tang family.

Wouldn't it mean that whatever the Tang family says is true, then it's true?

What is said to be fake, is fake.

One can only imagine how much money can be made from this.

Jia Haixia asked, "Have these people been arrested?"

Yuan Xiaohua shook her head and said, "Not yet. We're just arresting those who framed you to give you an explanation."

"So that you can go back home and continue your life."

"But I plan to play the long game with the others. The Tang family, this bunch of bad guys, has been entrenched in Yanjing for many years."

“They are deeply entrenched, which is why we haven’t touched them. After all, workers and ordinary people are the foundation of a country.”

"I have to say, the Tang family members are very good at scheming."

"However, that's all in the past. Things are different now. We've gradually gathered a lot of clues and slowly dismantled their roots, then nipped them in the bud."

"Now we just need one more opportunity to wipe them all out."

At this point, Jia Haixia showed no interest in her plan.

She interrupted Yuan Xiaohua and asked, "When is my daughter-in-law coming back?"

"Neither of the two children in the family has ever seen their mother. Now that they can both speak, they call her 'Grandma' instead."

Yuan Xiaohua said somewhat dejectedly, "Jiang Wan probably won't be back for a while, but Qiao Liancheng will be back soon."

Hearing this, Jia Haixia breathed a sigh of relief.

It was drizzling when the two children were taken back. Hai Rongtian had driven over specifically after receiving the news.

Two children, Qiao Pingan and Jin Yuanyuan, were also in the car.

After the group got in the car, they filled the entire sedan.

The family returned home in high spirits.
