Jiang Ruolan was shocked and quickly turned around, looking at Jiang Guanyu, who was kneeling, in disbelief. He had already aged and had a few strands of white hair on his head. His sharp and frosty face carried the resolution of a soldier, but he was actually kneeling to his own daughter?

Jiang Ruolan's throat immediately became hoarse as she realized that she couldn't speak a single word.

"If you want my life, I will give it to you, Ruolan, let Bingqing go. We have just celebrated the new year and she is locked up in the Public Security Bureau. The weather there is quite cold and she is alone. Dad is begging you. After all, you two are sisters, please let the past be bygones. Since Zhan Lian and your mother-in-law are sisters, and since Zihao is Bingqing's cousin, please let her go. Dad is begging you."

Jiang Ruolan's legs went limp and she almost lost her footing. She took a step back and turned around. She was gritting her teeth with hatred and her breathing gradually became unstable.

Right when she felt helpless and didn't know what to do, the phone in her pocket rang, causing her to be startled for a moment. Jiang Ruolan looked down and saw that the number was Xian Group's office number.

"Hello?"

"Miss Jiang, this is Assistant Bai. President Xian is in a meeting, but he asked me to call you. President Xian asked me to tell you that the evidence in Wei Donghai's case has been fully controlled, including what had happened back then in that abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of G City eight years ago. All the witnesses and evidence are in his hands, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Jiang Ruolan tightened her grip on the phone and was unable to speak.

Assistant Bai continued, "President Xian said that if anyone comes to plead for mercy and if you are hesitating between reason and conscience, you should temporarily avoid it. Don't force yourself too much. You can decide everything after President Xian returns from his meeting."

Jiang Ruolan had never looked forward to Xian Zihao's appearance so much before this. She held the phone tightly, feeling very grateful.

Xian Zihao always knew what she was thinking. He had even thought that she would be forced to make a decision. No matter how much she hated Jiang Guanyu, the person kneeling here would always be her father.

Although Jiang Ruolan did not want to be soft-hearted, even if she would feel more hatred because of Jiang Guanyu's attitude, she did not want to be blinded by her hatred. She can't be soft-hearted, but she can't concentrate on being cruel too. That's why she can't make decisions on this matter.

Fortunately, Xian Zihao was aware of her current situation. Even though he was in an important meeting, he did not forget to tell Assistant Bai to call her on time. Because of this call, she was able to calm down again.

After finishing the call, Jiang Ruolan turned and glanced at Jiang Guanyu's old face. "If you kneel down again, I will only hate you more. Your great and selfless fatherly love for Jiang Bingqing was used in the wrong place! You have also found the wrong person to target!"

Jiang Guanyu frowned, "Ruolan! Dad has already done this, what more do you want? Do you want us all to pay with our lives for the grievances you suffered when you were young?!"

Jiang Ruolan was stunned by his retort.

Jiang Guanyu suddenly stood up, pointed at her nose, and angrily said, "Bingqing is your sister, and even though I, your father have knelt in front of you, you don't even blink! You are an insensitive person! Heartless!"

Jiang Ruolan was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Your psychological warfare is really good." She no longer looked at Jiang Guanyu's expression that instantly turned into one of great displeasure. She turned her head away and coldly laughed.

After a while, Old Man Xian and the others returned. Everyone said some polite words on the surface, but Jiang Ruolan ignored it all the time.

She did not know what Zhan An had asked Zhan Lian because she did not say a word after that.

The Old Man asked Jiang Yijun to come and sit with him. When Jiang Guanyu saw him, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said with a smile, "Old Man Xian, look... I had doubts about Yijun's identity from the beginning, but I did not investigate him thoroughly. Can you give me a face and ask someone to release Bingqing for the sake of our Jiang Family taking care of your grandson for many years?"

Jiang Ruolan's eyes lit up as she glanced at Jiang Guanyu's expression. When he can't ask anything from her, he decides to attack Jiang Yijun and Old Man Xian. Suddenly, she became very curious.

What was going on with Jiang Bingqing now?

How did Xian Zihao do it?

"Did the Jiang Family remember incorrectly?" Jiang Yijun looked at Jiang Guanyu with a smile that was not a smile. "All these years the person I have been relying on is Ruolan. Although the Jiang Family has taken us in, but my life is not too different from Ruolan's. Do you need me to give an example or two?"

Jiang Guanyu immediately shut his mouth. He frowned and turned his head to glare at Zhan Lian. It was as if he blamed her for doing such a cruel thing all those years ago.

"Ruolan, you're still surnamed Jiang after all. I really didn't expect you to be so heartless." Zhan Lian suddenly spoke out, aggressively turning everything around.

At this moment, the sound of a car came from outside Xian Residence.

Old Man Xian looked at the window.

Zhan An smiled and said, "Zihao is back."

Jiang Ruolan didn't look out. She only looked at Zhan Lian indifferently. "The thing that Aunt Lian hates the most all these years is that I'm also surnamed Jiang, right?" Suddenly she laughed.

Zhan Lian's expression froze as she glared at her. "You!"

Nanny Cheng went to open the door. Snow rarely falls in the city, but at this time, there were actually some snowflakes floating outside. Xian Zihao's tall and straight figure came in, and there were even some snowflakes on his shoulders, hair, and his black trench coat.

As soon as Xian Zihao entered the door, he seemed to have no idea that people from the Jiang Family were there. A trace of intriguing expression flashed across his face as he looked at Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian. He was surprised but only for a moment before he casually threw the car keys aside.

"Is it lively?" He said in his clear voice and his elegant smile, as if the silence in the room had nothing to do with him.

Jiang Guanyu stood up, with a little anger in his eyes. He was hesitant about how to speak, but Zhan Lian quickly pulled her husband to sit before he could open his mouth. She was reminding him with her eyes not to be impulsive.

"Zihao, you're back?" Zhan Lian smiled. Her eyes were full of courtesy and caution.

Xian Zihao swept his gaze over them. With a hint of a smile on his face, he took off his windbreaker and casually passed it to Nanny Cheng, who was standing not far. He then smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, today is the first day of the New Year."

Jiang Guanyu did not want to beat around the bush anymore, so he used his elder's aura to say in a cold voice directly. "Zihao, there is no need to hit around the bush. You already know that Zhan Lian and I are your elders, and Bingqing is your only cousin, so why did you do this? It's the New Year, and Bingqing was just taken away like that! Do you want to break the kinship with the Jiang family?"

Jiang Guanyu had already lost all his patience and his attitude was very stiff.

Xian Zihao's lips curved into a smile. "What did uncle say earlier? Bingqing is my only cousin? Because she is still young and lacks good discipline, I sent her to the Detention Center. If this was someone else's daughter, she would have already been thrown into chaos. The two of you still have time to rush to H City overnight, so I believe the both of you know the reason why this happened. I don't need to explain it further."
