Chapter 1518: Chapter 874: Tearing the Little Green Tea Apart by Hand—Looking Pretty, Talking Back Even Prettier (Part 2)
Jiang Chengsi was startled when she called out, almost causing the group of police officers in attendance to burst into laughter.
"What are you doing!"
"What kind of trick are you pulling."
Jiang Chengsi cleared his throat, "You, what are you doing?"
"Look at her..."
"I think what she said makes a lot of sense. If you think there’s anything wrong, you can argue against it." Jiang Chengsi raised his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Yang Yiyi was nearly fuming. Aren’t they on the same side now?
I’m here to testify for you, I’m helping you, and this is how you treat me?
"Fourth Master, I’m your girlfriend now." Yang Yiyi emphasized on purpose, highlighting her importance to him.
Jiang Chengsi leaned on the chair, crossing his leg, looking as if:
Disowning everyone!
He directly blurted out, "Girlfriend? Did I admit that?"
"You... but Mrs. Jiang said..."
"My grandmother indeed said it, but you didn’t agree back then."
If Yang Yiyi had agreed back then, it would have seemed too greedy. In the end, she just didn’t refute, but that point was seized upon mistakenly by Jiang Chengsi, almost enraging her to the point of having a brain hemorrhage.
"Jiang Chengsi, didn’t we agree back then..."
"Agree on what?" Jiang Shiyi lightly tapped the table with a finger.
Every tap resonated with Yang Yiyi, hitting her heart heavily.
"This is the police station, Miss Yang, please speak carefully. We merely asked you to come and provide testimony for my brother. You’ve given your testimony and talked to the police; changing your words casually like this won’t do..." Jiang Shiyi clicked his tongue, "I remember falsifying evidence, or giving false statements, or falsely reporting information, how many years is that sentence for..."
Even if Yang Yiyi was foolish, she understood by now.
She had been played!
The Jiang Family clearly dug a pit for her, just asking her to testify, nothing about being a girlfriend, it was all to deceive her.
But by now, she had already had her testimony taken by the police, if she changed her statement, her words might completely lose their power, and she might face warnings or even prison time, which she couldn’t afford.
"Ha—" Yang Yiyi laughed derisively, looking at Jiang Chengsi, "Are you playing me?"
Jiang Chengsi curled his lips, with a wicked smile, uttering words that made her weak-kneed:
"You..."
"Didn’t you also play Geng Dong!"
The name Geng Dong had not been mentioned for a long time, and as Jiang Chengsi brought him up, it felt like a heavy blow, trembling his heart inexplicably.
"I heard Geng Dong is still at this station, maybe bother the police officers to bring him for questioning..."
As soon as Jiang Chengsi said this, Yang Yiyi was so scared her legs went soft.
Geng Dong, a name she had distanced herself from, is he here too?
Feeling guilty and panicking, she dared not face him.
Of course, the police couldn’t bring Geng Dong in just because Jiang Chengsi said so, but his subsequent words sparked their interest:
"I think there might be quite a few things you all are interested in, things you’ve been investigating but have no leads on."
What the police were investigating:
Sourcing of contraband.
As soon as Jiang Chengsi said this, several police officers conferred among themselves, "Let’s report to the captain."
Yang Yiyi glanced at Jiang Chengsi again, then at Jiang Shiyi and Si Qingxiao, her pupils dilated, suppressing a shiver in her teeth...
A huge sense of pressure enveloped her.
Geng Dong was in detention, it was impossible for him to go out easily, this was all a trap! Their purpose was to lure her to the police station, to confront him, it was all premeditated.
But all these things were clearly designed by them, had Jiang Chengsi and the others already seen through it and countered their plan?
Was the whole family playing along with her?
The back of her neck was entirely cold, her whole body seemed to be plunged into an ice cave, with a feeling of suffocation as if someone was gripping her lifeline.
It’s over, this time she feared she was done for.
The police originally just mentioned reporting it; actually, those above might not approve bringing Geng Dong over.
But Yang Yiyi’s psychological defense was half-collapsed, her expression out of control, and in the eyes of the police, that meant something completely different.
This matter...
There might really be something.

On the other side, in the hospital
You Hongxian was sitting in a wheelchair, undergoing various check-ups with the nurse’s assistance, he had "saved" Si Yushan, and was now residing in a high-class ward with dedicated care.
He reached out to touch his leg, rubbing his arm. Although there was a bit of sacrifice, what he gained was worth it.
Even if the family fortune dispersed, as long as he regained the trust of the Si Family, these things would all return to his hands. The only exception was that kid from the Jiang Family; he would not rest until he got rid of him to erase the humiliation he suffered at the birthday banquet.
If it weren’t for him, everything would definitely go smoothly, and he wouldn’t end up with a shattered family.
Meanwhile, another group of people had also arrived at the hospital.
Although You Hongxian was hospitalized and in a wheelchair, he lacked fractures and other injuries, just scrapes and bruises with some muscle and bone injuries, so the doctor recommended observation in the hospital and further exams.
When he finished the check-ups and returned, he heard someone was waiting for him in his room.
He thought it was You Yunzhi. After all the exams and not having a meal, You Yunzhi had previously said she’d go back to cook for him. As the caregiver wheeled him into the room, before he could see the person clearly, he said with a smile:
"Sister, you’re here so fast; after all those exams, I really am a bit hungry..."
As soon as he finished speaking, seeing the people in the room, his expression became dazed, and the smile froze at the corner of his mouth.
The sun was already quite bright, a man stood by the window, silhouetted against the light, his features pronounced, and the angular edges were highlighted, adding a streak of sternness.
The other person was bathed in sunlight, smiling amiably, yet...
Skin eerily fair.
A stark contrast of black and white.
"Second Master, Fifth Master?" You Hongxian did not expect it would be the two brothers, "What brings you here?"
"Heard you were hospitalized, so we came specifically to check on you." Jiang Jinsang grinned, "Although yesterday’s incident wasn’t pleasant, we still thank you for your thoughtful arrangements."
"No need to be polite, I didn’t do much." You Hongxian knew all too well that the Jiang brothers differed not only in appearance but also in levels of intelligence and emotional acuity.
The Jiang Fifth Master in front of him...
Now that was one tricky individual.
"Heard from your tone, you seem hungry. We didn’t bring anything special, just some fruit, let me peel one for you." Jiang Jinsang said as he took an apple from the fruit basket and turned to find a fruit knife.
"Fifth Master, there’s really no need..." You Hongxian dared not eat anything from him.
He felt that anything this kid touched was poisoned.
"Don’t be so polite, how were the tests today? All good?" Jiang Jinsang already had the knife and sat by the trash can, starting to peel the apple.
You Hongxian forced a laugh, "Not too bad, nothing serious."
"That’s good then."
Jiang Yanting was always a man of few words, just as in this instance, after the caregiver settled You Hongxian in bed, the room fell silent save for the rustling sound of someone peeling an apple, very distinct.
"When I peel apples, I like to do it without breaking the skin, otherwise it feels uncomfortable, just like solving problems, best to resolve things all at once, otherwise... it’s really a constant hassle."
You Hongxian leaned back on the hospital bed, only able to accompany him talking with a dry smile.
Don’t the brothers go to work at their company? Today’s stock market opening, the Jiang’s stock must be quite something, yet they don’t go to the company to oversee, instead coming to his hospital room, what’s that for?
The caregiver placed the wheelchair aside and exited, making the room eerily more quiet, and within You Hongxian’s heart, a vague unease started bubbling.
After all, for no apparent reason, even for a visit during illness, they should have left by now, yet these two...
Stayed too long.
One of them remained silent but had a piercing gaze that sent chills down his back; the other was too good with words, every sentence insinuating something, causing him a cold sweat.
Are these brothers toxic!
