Chapter 1445: Chapter 829: Afraid of Being Returned, Bad Luck and Backstabbers (3 Updates)

As soon as Jiang Chengsi got into trouble, before the Jiang Family took any action, Geng Dong received a call from the police station, telling him to go to the police station for investigation.

That night, Geng Dong was too flamboyant, acting suspiciously, and having old grievances with Jiang Chengsi, naturally making him a focus of police attention; Geng Dong was practically scared out of his mind.

The items were placed by him, if found, there would be no way to deny it.

This mess would definitely be pinned on him.

Just who the hell is trying to harm him.

"Dong哥?" Yang Yiyi, sitting in the passenger seat, noticed his poor expression and asked in a low voice, "What’s the matter?"

"It’s nothing, I have to go to the police station, you should just get off here."

"Here?" It’s in the middle of nowhere, but Yang Yiyi didn’t say much, she opened the door and got out, watching his car drive away, and a trace of venomous resentment crossed her eyes.

In his eyes, she was merely a plaything for a moment’s fancy, summoned when needed, discarded when not; who was she to negotiate terms with him.

When he was happy, he amused himself with her, spending a little money on her; when unhappy, who would care about her well-being.

Just then her phone vibrated, media speculation about Jiang Chengsi’s incident at the bar was already being reported.

**

Nanjiang

Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao were not out at sea for long, returning to shore after three in the afternoon, spotting Special Assistant Yuan waiting for him from a distance, standing by several unfamiliar individuals.

"That’s Fourth Master, they’re back." Special Assistant Yuan spoke to the people beside him.

The group was none other than the police, dressed in plain clothes, having received a request for assistance from Beijing police, tasked with finding Jiang Chengsi for some inquiries.

The police couldn’t initially reach him and had heard about his sea excursion, which led them to genuinely suspect he was on the run.

Seeing him return, they were relieved.

Jiang Chengsi was completely unaware of the trouble, having had a good outing on the water, he waved at Special Assistant Yuan with an exceptionally bright smile.

Special Assistant Yuan’s sidelong glance caught the plain-clothes officers, all of whom were shocked.

It was the first time Nanjiang police had dealt with Jiang Chengsi, who was known from Beijing colleagues as being wild and outrageous; but no one expected that, after such serious trouble, he could smile so happily.

Some matters, even if unrelated to oneself, once entangled, anyone would struggle to laugh.

Yet this Fourth Master of Jiang is unfazed, with Beijing in chaos, he still has the mood for a sea date with his girlfriend.

Unclear if he’s truly carefree or just dim-witted.

Special Assistant Yuan cleared his throat twice, a bit speechless; does he even know something has happened?

The yacht docked, Jiang Chengsi first helped Si Qingxiao disembark before jumping off the yacht himself, at which point the plain-clothes officers revealed their identities.

"I assume you are Mr. Jiang Chengsi."

"Yes, I am." Jiang Chengsi nodded.

"We are police officers, as you are connected to a case, we would like to invite you to return with us to assist in coordination with the Beijing police’s work."

Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao were both slightly taken aback, then followed them directly to the police station; there, the police showed them the assistance notice, explaining the specific situation.

He originally thought the items found at the bar were merely someone’s prank to target him, not expecting it to cause genuine trouble.

Jiang Chengsi is innocent, naturally willing to share what he knows, and willing to cooperate with their investigation.

He himself knows nothing about the matter, and so the police couldn’t extract any valuable clues, "... for now, please return to your hotel to rest, and best not to leave Nanjiang; we’ll contact you if there are any developments."

"I understand."

Jiang Chengsi left the police station, his temper flaring with frustration.

What kind of bad luck is he having lately, encountering one troublesome affair after another.

If only he could return to Beijing, he would surely rush back...

He really wants to see who the hell is the bastard behind these shady dealings at his place.

Si Qingxiao is furrowing her brows as well.

Previously, Si Yushan had supported him, and now the Si Family is being dragged down too.

Many people are saying, "Does Mr. Si feel embarrassed now?"

"Quite unlucky for all, Fourth Master is unlucky, and the Si Family suffers too; back then, with no police results out yet, the Si Family shouldn’t have sided too soon."

"Police should soon find out where the items came from, as long as they prove unrelated to Fourth Master, it’ll be fine. But if unrelated, Fourth Master really is a victim here, unfairly embroiled."

"Isn’t the Si Family worse off, Mr. Si openly supported him."

...

Si Qingxiao looked at Jiang Chengsi, "Fourth Brother."

"There will be a conclusion to this; I have never done such a thing." Jiang Chengsi still tried to explain to her.

"I believe you, but... I want to go back home for now." After all, this matter has affected the Si Family.

"But right now I can’t go back with you." Police don’t want him to leave for now, "Have Uncle Yuan accompany you back."

Si Qingxiao nodded in agreement.

The Si Family was affected, and the Jiang Family was equally unsettled.

**

The old lady woke up expecting to see Jiang Shiyi, ready to "bring him to account" and discuss his lifelong affairs, but was told Jiang Chengsi had encountered trouble.

Though there was no evidence to indicate he was involved, given that it happened at his place, it definitely would cause him to be dragged into the mess. Before the truth was investigated, public discussion would inevitably revolve around him.

After all, there’s always been plenty of controversy surrounding someone.

People were already saying Jiang Chengsi had long been frequenting entertainment venues, with a reckless and unrestrained personality, behaving outrageously, making it impossible for him to come out clean. It was simply that he got caught this time.

There were even opinions claiming he was starting to learn finance to clean his image.

People were saying all sorts of things.

"What exactly is the situation with Chengsi’s matter? Have we managed to contact him?" The old lady was anxious.

When it’s one’s own grandson, it doesn’t matter if we shut the door and scold him. But hearing others gossip makes one uncomfortable.

"We’ve gotten in touch with him; he’s in Nanjiang, also at the police station for questioning." Jiang Shiyi was equally troubled.

On what was supposed to be a happy day, such a mishap had to happen.

Jiang Shiyi looked calm, but he was agitated inside. Jiang Chengsi was in fact a victim here, yet he had nowhere to vent his frustrations, and could only grit his teeth and endure for now.

The old lady sighed: "There’s no rushing this matter now; let’s wait for the police investigation to conclude. They will surely provide justice for us. Ah—this is simply a calamity out of nowhere."

"I wonder what the Si Family would think."

"I’m just worried that even before they’re married, so many things have happened. We know Chengsi very well, but the Si Family has known us for just a short time. With trouble occurring one after another, do you think their family might reconsider?"

Jiang Shiyi: "..."

Everyone was enraged by the unprovoked troubles, except for Grandma...

She was surprisingly concerned about whether the Si Family would reconsider.

Jiang Shiyi was also worried on his own behalf.

Having just met Lin Luyou’s parents, now my brother was suddenly embroiled in this matter, what would the Lin Family think?

Soon after, the Jiang Family members began to return home.

Talking about Jiang Chengsi’s situation, although the police would uncover the truth for them, they couldn’t just sit idle; they had to find ways to investigate themselves.

"Shiyi, you have lived with Chengsi previously; you should know best about his affairs. Does he have any enemies? Or is there anyone suspicious in your opinion?" Jiang Zhenhuan was worn out today as well.

After dealing with Jiang Shiyi’s meeting the parents, as soon as he reached the company, he was met by a group of reporters.

This pair of brothers were truly one things happening after another.

"Uncle, do you genuinely want a list of suspicious individuals?" Jiang Shiyi asked tentatively.

"If you know, give me the list, and I will send someone to ask around." Jiang Zhenhuan had been in Beijing for many years with connections.

As Jiang Shiyi spoke, he really pulled out a folded A4 paper from his pocket to hand to him.

"This is from the night the bar incident occurred; I asked the manager for it, but it’s only a part."

Jiang Zhenhuan opened the paper, and his face turned dark.

The Jiang Family members were puzzled; the old lady reached out her hand, "Let me take a look, just how much trouble has this kid caused outside..."

The old lady saw the content and was equally stunned!

This kid started a Racing Club; why not start a Trouble-making Club instead!

...

Jiang Jinsang sat on the side, his fingers gently tapping his knee, somewhat resigned. Despite the Fourth Brother not being in Beijing, he could still stir up such trouble, quite impressive.

At that moment, his phone vibrated with a group message.

Qi Zeyan @’ed Jiang Chengsi ten minutes earlier, asking how he was.

Just as Jiang Chengsi was replying to him, someone shared a photo in the group chat, the kind you see during festivals and holidays on social media, seeking fortunes through divination.

Jiang Jinsang always felt the divinations left behind by ancestors had some basis, but he didn’t quite believe in them, nor would he ever click on such links appearing in the social media public accounts.

The ones in social media are basically random selections generating outcomes; better to go to a temple to seek a fortune.

Unexpectedly, at such a time, Jiang Chengsi actually found interest in playing with this.

He shared an image on social media with these words:

[Reach the pinnacle of life, beware of vile persons.]

Jiang Chengsi: [Look, I’m definitely dealing with vile persons this year.]

Everyone was speechless; at such a time, he was still playing with this?

Even Qi Zeyan was too lazy to reply to his message.

But truth be told, he indeed experienced events that brought him to life’s peak this year, such as romantic relationships and going public with them.

And dealing with various vile persons was truly happening...
