Jiang Jingchen called Song Kai over to buy time for Ji Yi to find his wife.
The other reason was to give Jiang Xing a blow.
He looked up at Jiang Xing. “My wife is in the basement?”
“What?”
Jiang Xing was stunned. He knew that Tang Beibei had been captured and brought to the villa, but he didn’t know where she was locked up.
Song Yan looked at Jiang Jingchen and shouted, “Hubby, haven’t you seen through Jiang Jingchen’s trick? He deliberately brought Song Kai to spout nonsense and deliberately divert your attention to save his woman!”
Jiang Xing looked at Jiang Jingchen hesitantly. What had happened just now was too sudden, and he needed to investigate and verify many things.
But his fourth son, was Jiang Mingyang really not his son?
If Jiang Mingyan wasn’t his son, his second son, Jiang Minglang, had become incapacitated. In the future, the Jiang family could only depend on Jiang Jingchen.
At this time, it was not wise to have their relationship strained.
“Eldest Young Miss, is she in the basement?” He asked the subordinate.
The subordinates looked at Jiang Xing helplessly. They were a little afraid when they thought of something.
Jiang Jingchen walked to the basement. When he heard the woman’s scream, his face changed.
He hastened his footsteps and rushed to the basement, kicking the door open.
When he walked in, he saw Tang Beibei with messy hair. She grabbed Jiang Minghua’s hair and smashed her head against the wall.
Jiang Minghua’s forehead was broken, and blood stained half of her face red.
Jiang Minghua tried to struggle with a ferocious expression, but she was firmly suppressed by Tang Beibei and couldn’t escape.
“Obedient Beibei!”
Jiang Jingchen walked over.
Tang Beibei heard Jiang Jingchen’s voice and turned around to see him. A sense of relief washed over. Jiang Minghua saw that she finally had a chance to fight back and wanted to teach her a lesson.
However, just as she moved, Tang Beibei tightened her grip.
With a bang, she grabbed Jiang Minghua’s head and smashed it against the wall.
Jiang Minghua cried out in pain. She felt dizzy and closed her eyes in pain.
Previously, when Jiang Minghua attempted to pour hot water on Tang Beibei, despite being bound, Tang Beibei’s body could still move. She lay on the ground and rolled a few times.
The hot water splashed over, but it didn’t burn her.
Jiang Minghua was frustrated by her failed attempt, so she threw the basin away and grabbed Tang Beibei again. Determined to teach Tang Beibei a lesson and make her admit her mistake and beg for mercy.
However, Tang Beibei refused to admit defeat.
She was also forced to her limits. Her tied hands circled Jiang Minghua, strangled her neck, and then turned around to sit on Jiang Minghua.
Tang Beibei was a dancer who had experienced various challenges in life. Although not as strong as a man, compared to Jiang Minghua, who had lived a sheltered life as the daughter of a wealthy family, her strength was significantly greater.
Therefore, after she controlled Jiang Minghua, she asked her to let her go.
However, Jiang Minghua refused to let Tang Beibei go, especially in her own house.
So the two of them fought. Tang Beibei took drastic measures and forcefully slammed Jiang Minghua’s head against the wall.
Everyone was stunned by Tang Beibei’s actions.
Jiang Jingchen came to Tang Beibei’s side even faster and grabbed Jiang Minghua’s neck.
“If you dare to move again, I’ll let you die here!”
“Oh… No, I won’t move!”
Jiang Minghua, who was already in pain, suddenly couldn’t breathe and started crying in fear.
Jiang Jingchen untied Tang Beibei and held her in his arms with his grip tightening.
His voice trembled uncontrollably.
When he heard the sound just now, he thought that she was injured and his heart was twisted together.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Tang Beibei pointed at Jiang Minghua aggrievedly and defended herself.
“She, she wanted to splash me with boiling water, so I hit her.”
Jiang Jingchen’s eyes turned red as he stared at Jiang Minghua. He was as cold as a knife and wanted to tear her into pieces!
His baby, he couldn’t bear to see even the slightest harm come to her. But Jiang Minghua dared to hurt her.
She was courting death!
Jiang Minghua cried out in fear. When she saw Jiang Xing, she crawled over.
“Daddy, Daddy, save me!”
Jiang Xing looked at his daughter’s sorry and miserable appearance and was angry and frustrated. He reached out to help her up.
“Minghua, how did you end up like this?”
Jiang Minghua pointed at Tang Beibei. “It’s all her fault. She harmed me. She did this to me. She even hit my head. Daddy, it hurts.”
Jiang Xing saw that Tang Beibei was still tied up. She couldn’t teach her a lesson, but she was still in such a sorry state. He really couldn’t bear to watch. “Consider yourself lucky that my wife didn’t kill you!”
Jiang Jingchen untied the rope around Tang Beibei’s ankle. When he saw the strangulation marks, his heart ached.
He cradled Tang Beibei gently and walked out. When he passed Jiang Minghua, Jiang Jingchen stopped and glanced at the father and daughter.
“Jiang Xing, you injured my people today. I will slowly settle this score with you!”
Jiang Xing coughed. “Jiang Jingchen, I’m your father! You want to teach me a lesson? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!”
Jiang Jingchen sneered. “You dared to harm my wife, what else would I not dare to do?”
“Jiang Xing, you know very well that my wife is my weakness, yet you tried to exploit that. You wanted to test my bottom line. Heh…”
His cold snort was chilling.
Jiang Xing finally realized that his seemingly silent and unassuming son had grown into a formidable serpent, that was very likely to devour him.
His heart was shrouded in a layer of haze.
Jiang Jingchen didn’t want to talk nonsense with him and left the Jiang family with Tang Beibei.
Jiang Xing watched as they left. Then, he turned around to look at Pan Cheng, who was caught by the security guards, and Song Yan and Jiang Minghua, who were covering their faces and crying. They were like chicken feathers on the ground.
When he returned to the living room, he saw the document that he had already signed on the coffee table.
He panted and questioned the butler.
“Did you lock Tang Beibei in the basement? Pan Cheng, what are your intentions?”
Pan Cheng’s mouth was covered. He was innocent.
If Jiang Minghua hadn’t requested it, he wouldn’t have locked Tang Beibei in the basement.
Moreover, didn’t Jiang Xing capture Tang Beibei to teach her a lesson?
Jiang Xing asked this question because he wanted to push all the blame on him. He didn’t want to be the scapegoat.
However, before he could say anything, Jiang Minghua saw that something was wrong and hugged Jiang Xing while crying.
“Dad, the butler said that he wanted to teach Tang Beibei a lesson. I just wanted to help you teach her a lesson.”
Butler Pan was speechless.
Pan Cheng looked at her in disbelief and whimpered twice, but he couldn’t shout anything.
Jiang Minghua was clueless about why Pan Cheng was tied up, but she knew that Pan Cheng was on her side.
She continued to cry. “Dad, Jiang Jingchen harmed me. Of course, I can’t let his wife go. I know Butler Pan wants to teach her a lesson so that she will be obedient in the future. Please let the butler go. He has been in our family for so many years. Even if he doesn’t have any contributions, he has worked hard.”
However, her words only fueled Jiang Xing’s anger further.
He, Pan Cheng, had made a contribution, which was he slept with his woman and even gave birth to a bastard child. He wanted to inherit everything in the Jiang family.
“Men, lock Pan Cheng in the basement. Without my order, don’t let him out!”
“Dad.” Jiang Minghua was shocked. Her father was punishing the butler because of Tang Beibei. “What’s wrong with you? Why are you still imprisoning the butler? He…”
Jiang Minghua was still unaware of the affair between Pan Cheng and Song Yan.
“Shut up. If you keep nagging, You’ll join him in the basement!” Jiang Xing shouted angrily.
Jiang Minghua was so scared that she dared not speak anymore. She looked at Song Yan, who had her head down, with a strange expression.
She thought, “What happened?”
“Whoever dares to save Pan Cheng, get out of the Jiang family!”
Jiang Xing glanced at Song Yan coldly and ordered Assistant Wang to call the lawyer over.
When Assistant Wang found out that Song Yan had actually cheated on Jiang Xing, he was shocked for a while. However, he didn’t want to interfere with the Jiang family’s matters, so he obediently called a lawyer.
Jiang Minghua, who was injured, still wanted to cry and beg for sympathy so that Jiang Xing could teach Jiang Jingchen a lesson.
However, Jiang Xing turned a blind eye to the injury on her head. Instead, he looked impatient. She was extremely sad.
She thought, “What did that despicable Jiang Jingchen do to make her father suddenly change his attitude towards her?”
