Chapter 1415 - Dragging the Jiang Family Down
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The people at the police station ignored the screams and treated it like the howl of a lunatic.
"What are you shouting? If you continue to shout, I will seal your mouth."
Jiang Jingshan was dissatisfied. "It's all because of Jiang Shantao. He wanted to take over the family business, so he did all these. If he was dead, I would still be Jiang family's Miss…"
The people who were guarding her couldn't help but mock, "Do you still think that you are the Miss of the Jiang family? Don't even dream about it. The Jiang family denounced you to the world."
Jiang Jingshan couldn't believe it. After another round of screaming, she finally collapsed on the floor and fainted.
She couldn't understand how she could end up like this when everything used to be fine. In her fit of anger, she threw all the blame onto her elder brother, Jiang Shantao.
Later, when she was calm and awake, she trembled as she curled into a ball. She realized that all of these were caused by Yun Bixue.
It was because she offended Yun Bixue.
The guards and surrounding people seemed to realize from the gibberish that Jiang Jingshan screamed that people should not offend Yun Bixue.
In the cell, Jiang Jingshan was not used to what the prisoners ate or used. Adding that to the anger and displeasure she felt, she soon fell ill. However, no one cared even when she was sick.
Finally, during a bout of high fever, Jiang Jingshan almost became permanently sick.
Meanwhile, someone reported all these to Xie Limo at the back.
Xie Limo arranged for people to interrogate Jiang Jingshan in order to find out about the gunpowder smuggling.
After being locked and ignored for such a long time, Jiang Jingshan harbored immense hatred towards the Jiang family. That was why when she was asked about the smuggling, even if she did not know about it, she tried her best to recall the details and told them everything.
Since she was abandoned by her family, she would drag them down with her. She wanted everyone to know that the Jiang family was nothing without her.
The Jiang family had already forgotten their Miss, and Old Master Jiang closed his doors to any guests. Now, the Jiang family was led by Jiang Shantao.
The Xie family arranged for people to be situated within the Jiang family to find evidence of the smuggling. They searched based on the information provided by Jiang Jingshan, and once it was found, they would be able to wipe a few noble families from the imperial capital.
Although Jiang Jingshan said everything she knew, her weak constitution could not withstand the poor conditions of her prison cell, and in the next high fever, she lost her life.
The confession she left became important evidence, and it was secretly passed to Xie Wu, who kept it safe.
…
As the heir of the Yuan family, Yuan Shuangrui had always kept her attention on the Jiang family.
When she caught news of Jiang Jingshan's death, her heart started thumping uneasily.
She recalled her unexpected meeting with Qin Huailing. After seeing him, she had never had a good night's rest. She wanted to deal with him, but she had no plan. With Jiang Jingshan's death, however, she made up her mind.
She called her trusted subordinate and ordered, "The target this time is Qin Huailing. As long as he's gone, no one will be able to stop me. Being kind to your own enemies is being cruel to yourself."
"Miss, Young Master Qin must have come prepared if he came here to the imperial capital."
Yuan Shuangrui blamed herself. Nonetheless, she said, "A few years back, I had the power to deal with him, and that remains the same now. Even if he has prepared himself, he is still no match for the Yuan family."
