Chapter 1625: Chapter 949: A Hero’s Greatest Trial Is the Daughter’s Gate, Seeking the Tiger’s Hide Brings Retaliation (20 Updates)

That day

Two little girls were sitting on the side eating candy, as usual, helping to watch over the bags for the others.

Jiang Xiaowai and Xiaoyi were playing on the slide when three other children came over.

"We want to play this too, you guys go play something else."

Jiang Xiaowai frowned, "Then let’s play together, everyone takes turns."

"I don’t want to play with you."

To be blunt, they just wanted to hog the slide.

The two little guys were not the type to be bullied easily, so they naturally refused to give in.

If everyone played together, that would be okay, but why should they monopolize it?

The result was a conflict.

"Sister, find a place to hide!" Before the fight started, the two deliberately told their sister to hide well.

They also intended to find a place to hide themselves but realized they couldn’t beat the others, especially since there were three of them.

The two exchanged a glance, considering whether to look for the teacher, when they saw Jiang Xiaowai almost being pinned down.

Jiang Sese rushed over—

The little girl from the Huo Family followed closely behind.

...

By the time the teacher arrived to stop them, the children were already tangled up in a fight, and of course, the teacher had to notify the parents.

Huo Qinqi was on his way to pick up the children when he heard about the fight and wasn’t surprised.

He just didn’t expect his daughter to be involved too...

She almost made one little boy’s nose bleed.

When Jiang Jinsang arrived, he was quite surprised to see this scene.

"Why did you fight?" Huo Qinqi never expected his daughter would actually fight?

"Brother was bullied." The little girl said bluntly.

"Who taught you to fight?"

"Don’t you practice fighting every morning?"

"I..."

Huo Qinqi rarely found himself speechless, didn’t expect to be stumped by his own daughter.

He was just exercising to keep fit, and the long-term fitness habit couldn’t be changed, what did she mean by practicing fighting?

The little girl looked at her father, seemingly not too happy, tugged his clothes, "Dad? Did I say something wrong? Are you angry?"

"No."

"Then give me a smile."

"..." Huo Qinqi wasn’t someone who liked to smile.

"See, you’re still angry."

"I just hope you won’t fight anymore, don’t follow your brother’s lead."

"I know, I won’t do it from now on." The little girl held Huo Qinqi’s hand, smiling sweetly, "Dad, then give me a smile."

"..."

Jiang Jinsang tried hard to stifle a laugh on the side, really didn’t expect, Old Huo facing this today.

The little girl thought if Huo Qinqi wasn’t smiling, he was mad and hadn’t forgiven her, finally he had no choice but to squeeze a faint smile from the corner of his mouth.

If it were anyone else, Huo Qinqi would certainly tell them to scram, but it was his daughter, he could only cooperate.

Jiang Jinsang teased, "Didn’t see that, you’re a daughter’s slave, huh?"

Huo Qinqi shot back:

"Even if you want to be a daughter’s slave, you need the opportunity."

A stab to the heart!

Before he used to think having a son or daughter was the same, but now with everyone having daughters, the little girls growing up to be more and more beautiful, naturally there is envy.

Jiang Shiyi looked at his daughter, also had a headache, wondering why did he let her learn Taekwondo.

**

Jiang Xiaowai and Xiaoyi bringing their sisters into a fight, no matter what, this was certainly wrong, after going home, Xiaoyi was made to stand against the wall by Huo Qinqi as punishment.

After standing for a while, he found his sister came.

"What are you here for?"

"I was part of the fight, and you told me to hide, but I went myself, if there’s a punishment, I should be punished too."

It was probably at this moment, Xiaoyi made a decision in his heart:

From now on, if anyone dared to bully his sister, he would fight them with all he could.

Meanwhile

Tang Wan returned home, only then knew Jiang Xiaowai caused trouble outside again.

Used to be the trouble caused by two, now it turned into four.

"Mom, they were too domineering, and they started it first." Jiang Xiaowai felt he still needed to explain himself.

"But you can’t take your aunt and sister to fight, can you?"

"I won’t do it next time." The little guy was always quick to admit mistakes. Seeing Tang Wan wasn’t very angry, he proactively helped her with the bag and wanted to pour her some water.

The little flunky wanted to show his loyalty, and Tang Wan didn’t stop him. Jiang Jinsang looked at her and asked quietly, "This time when you went to the police station, what did the police say?"

Originally, Tang Wan was supposed to pick up the child from kindergarten, but she received a call from the police station, probably regarding the previous Kingfisher incident, which seemed to have made some progress.

"The police have always suspected that these Kingfishers were smuggled from abroad. Recently, they’ve been watching a gang of smugglers, and they have identified the person who went to the Exhibition Center to place the Kingfisher carcasses, but that person has not shown up," Tang Wan explained.

"The police asked me to come in just to understand the situation and ask if I know that person."

"How could I know any smugglers? I can’t provide any clues."

...

While speaking, Jiang Xiaowai had already brought out a cup of water from the kitchen, "Mom, have some water."

Seeing her son come out, Tang Wan didn’t continue the topic, but Jiang Jinsang seemed thoughtful after hearing it.

The little guy would behave particularly well for the next few days whenever he got into trouble.

**

At the same time, in a suburb factory

Four people sat around playing cards, another one had his head down, playing ’Fight the Landlord’ on his phone. The light was dim, and piles of half-processed machine materials were stacked around.

The shutter door suddenly opened, one of them immediately stood up, grabbing a homemade shotgun beside him.

As the person entered, the gun was already placed against the back of his head.

"It’s me." The person had a hoarse voice, wearing a hat and a mask, fully wrapped up, "I brought you some food."

A man who was playing cards, bare-chested, with a tattooed floral arm, tilted his head to glance at the entrance, signaling the man with the gun to let him in, and the shutter door closed immediately.

"Here’s some food." The man put the things down.

The tattooed man lit a cigarette, sucked on it a couple of times, while looking at the cards in his hand, "Where’s the money?"

"Money, money... I currently don’t have..."

Before he finished speaking, the tattooed man threw down the cards in his hand, walked over, and slapped the things out of his hands, pressing him directly against one of the machines, "I’m giving you face by calling you Jiang, promised us money, when will you get it?"

"I really don’t have money right now, I..."

The man disliked his unclear speech, lifted his hand and tore off his mask, "Why are you wearing a mask? We’re the ones being hunted by the police, yet you’re covering yourself tightly."

The mask was removed, revealing a clear face, none other than——

Jiang Zhaolin!

"Brother Qing, give me a little more time."

"I’ve been lenient because of our long-time cooperation. You promised earlier to get us some Kingfisher corpses?" The man known as Brother Qing.

One hand pressing him, the other holding a cigarette, took a drag.

"What did you say back then? Just wanted to scare someone."

"I thought, why not get a dead cat or dog? But you said that person was only afraid of the Kingfisher, so I found a channel and got it for you, but you didn’t tell me it would cause such a big commotion!"

"If it weren’t for this matter, the police wouldn’t even notice us brothers."

"Damn it, shouldn’t have gotten hot-headed back then! Believing your bullshit."

"Brother Qing, I didn’t know this would blow up so much either." Jiang Zhaolin’s neck was pressed, his whole face against the machine, his hands clawing at it, supporting himself.

"You didn’t know? You wanted to scare Tang Wan, didn’t you? You wanted to mess with her?" Brother Qing snorted lightly, "Jiang Zhaolin, we’ve worked together for years, don’t put on an act with me, but this matter now..."

"If mishandled, it could get us killed!"

"I’m telling you, if we get caught by the police, don’t think you’ll get away easy. At worst, we’ll die together."

"Brother Qing, I really didn’t think the police would cling onto this." Jiang Zhaolin couldn’t handle Jiang Jinsang now, just wanted to create a mess for them, let them suffer a bit.

But he didn’t expect the whole situation to become completely uncontrollable.

The police kept pursuing, possibly already having identified one of them.

Outside, the situation was tense, the police conducting surprise checks from time to time, verifying if there were any smuggled or stowaway individuals.

"Now our brothers are ready to flee, need some money. You know what to do." Brother Qing still pressing his neck, "You still owed us money before, and now with the police discovering the whereabouts, we definitely can’t return to the country in the coming years, so...

"Be straightforward, a lump sum price!"

"20 million!"

Jiang Zhaolin’s body stiffened, "Twenty... twenty million? Where am I supposed to get that kind of money for you? That’s too much."

"There are five of us, split equally, it’s only 4 million each, isn’t that too much? It’s escape money, you think it’s too much?" Brother Qing continued sucking on the cigarette, the smoke blowing directly onto Jiang Zhaolin’s face, "President Jiang, your son must be quite wealthy, why don’t you borrow from him."

"He and I don’t have a good relationship, he won’t give it to me."

Jiang Chengsi lending him money? Dream on.

"What did you say?"

Suddenly, Brother Qing reached out and stabbed the burning cigarette directly into his back.

Accompanied by a wretched scream, the others in the factory warehouse, playing cards and chatting, remained completely unaffected.

"President Jiang, can you get the money?" The man’s voice was ruthless, the cigarette butt firmly pressed into his back.

The hot ember seared, fiercely trying to burn through his skin.

"I can, I can!" Jiang Zhaolin hurriedly said.

Negotiating with a tiger, one careless move, and you’d be bitten back.
