After five bigwigs in Beijing's elite circle fell into their trap, I fled.

Chapter 39 The Legendary Scumbag Father
When Jiang Shu's father was mentioned, a look of disdain flashed in Jiang Liuyun's eyes.

She rolled her eyes at the village chief: "I'll take revenge for my own grudges."

Li Erniang sneered: "Shubao is already 19 years old. That man is someone else's husband in the capital, raising someone else's son, living a life of unimaginable happiness. Why don't you take revenge and see? Even if you break his third leg, I'll look at you with more respect."

Jiang Liuyun said calmly, "How do you know I didn't break his third leg..."

Li Erniang raised an eyebrow in surprise: "You really interrupted?"

“It’s broken.” Jiang Liuyun smiled sarcastically. “Not just the third one, all three have been broken. But that doesn’t affect his deep and unwavering love for his true love.”

"You're unlucky to have run into such a weirdo." Li Erniang spat. "Let's not talk about this trash! Everyone, let's all agree that Second Grandpa was killed by a landslide. Don't let it slip in front of Shubao tomorrow!"

Jiang Liuyun paused for a moment, then said, "I told Shubao that she died from a fall."

“Falling to death is fine—but don’t use it again. You’ve used the excuse of falling to death forty-two times over the years. Come up with something new next time.” The village chief tapped his pipe. “I’m afraid that one day Shubao might get serious and dig up the grave to verify it.”

Li Erniang thought about it seriously: "Hmm, something that our silly girl could do..."

As they chatted, the sound of voices gradually lessened the sadness of death, and the mourning hall was set up.

In the middle of the night, with the candlelight flickering, someone suddenly said:
"Holy crap! There's a luxury car coming towards us from about three miles away..."

Above the coffin in the mourning hall, a highly technological virtual projection appeared, showing a discreet luxury car approaching in high-definition.

"Which idiot has wandered into our village by mistake? I'll go scare him!" Old Tang casually stuffed a handful of paper money into his pocket and slowly walked out.

Behind her, Li Erniang pondered, "Could it be Shubao? She's the only one on her way back..."

"No," Jiang Liuyun replied decisively. "She's so stingy, she wouldn't be willing to spend money to rent a luxury car. Getting a three-wheeled motorcycle is already giving Second Grandfather a lot of face. Judging by the time, she won't arrive until tomorrow morning."

Li Erniang tossed her cascading curly hair: "Then I'll go back now and take a petal bath, and then do a face mask—it won't be convenient for me to do these things when she's home."

……

Assistant Yang was very glad that he had chosen a car with the highest chassis.

Once you leave the city and get on the highway, you don't notice anything amiss. But once you reach the county town where Quanwen Town is located, you'll find it remote and desolate, with muddy one-way roads everywhere you look. There isn't a single street lamp in sight, only bright car headlights illuminating the dark road ahead.

There were a few stars in the sky and a pale moon.

The muddy road was full of potholes, and the surrounding area was undeveloped primeval forest. The shadows of the trees swayed and looked very eerie under the dim moonlight.

Assistant Yang and Li Yubai have been to many places.

But given their status, in the past they only needed to say a word and many people would help them conduct grassroots investigations. This was their first time visiting such a remote town.

While carefully observing the road conditions, Assistant Yang also tried to liven up the atmosphere:
"Jiang, your village has so many mountains and trees, the air must be very fresh."

“It used to be very good.” Jiang Shu stroked the cat. “After I was born, many trees withered. You can see it when it’s light. It’s very desolate.” Assistant Yang was there to show off, not to expose shortcomings.

He put it positively: "These days, it's popular to set up agritourism businesses in the mountains. I have a little savings of my own. I'll check it out tomorrow during the day, and if it's suitable, I'll build one next to your village to bring in some income for the village, and I can also make some money myself."

Jiang Shu's eyes lit up: "I'll invest 20,000 yuan and give you some shares? I won't take advantage of you. I'll take care of all the authentic wild game like rabbits and pheasants from my village."

Assistant Yang laughed heartily: "Then I must thank you, Jiang! Let's not talk about money. Your willingness to invest shows that you think highly of me. I'll give you 30% of the shares directly."

Jiang Shu sighed, "You businessmen, you all know how to talk. You are, and so is Li Yubai."

"Our boss is actually quite aloof," Assistant Yang began to speak for his boss. "Before meeting Jiang, he was cold and indifferent to everyone, sparing with his words. Even signing a contract worth hundreds of billions wouldn't guarantee him a smile. He avoided women like the plague, valuing his chastity extremely highly. Basically, no woman ever came within a meter of him..."

Jiang Shu exclaimed, "This is what the book calls 'the young master hasn't smiled in a long time'..."

Assistant Yang had recently been cramming on romance literature for two days, and now he awkwardly defended himself: "It's different, it's different. Our boss isn't that crazy, he can still laugh, and he looks especially good when he laughs."

Jiang Shu wholeheartedly agreed: "It's absolutely gorgeous."

In her arms, the leopard cat meowed twice in dissatisfaction, then rolled around and threw a tantrum in Jiang Shu's arms.

Jiang Shu coughed lightly, pinched the cat's leg and rubbed it: "Our Ali is also exceptionally beautiful, the most beautiful in the world, without a doubt."

The cat haughtily quieted down.

Assistant Yang glanced at the strange-looking cat in the rearview mirror.

He thought the boss's little princess would bring back a man to compete for the boss's favor, but who knew she would bring back a cat? However, when cats act cute, they are no less charming than lovers, so the boss's jealousy can be explained.

Assistant Yang complimented the cat several times without making a sound, then got back to the main topic: "Our boss has been single for twenty-nine years, and this is the first time he has met a girl he likes. He is very interested in her."

Jiang Shu said, "Oh, I know that. He told me he had liked that girl for many years—but I forgot to ask later, did he win her back? Did he lock her up and make her his plaything, or did she run away and he chased after her relentlessly?"

Assistant Yang: "..."

His mind went blank for a moment. Could there be some hidden secret between the BOSS and his little darling?

Just then, the navigation suddenly stopped, so he changed the subject:
"Strange, why did the navigation stop?"

“We have arrived at Quanwen Town.” Jiang Shu pointed to the dark, desolate town outside.

As one of the poorest towns in the country, Quanwen Town lives up to its reputation, still retaining buildings from thirty years ago. Occasionally, one or two ten-story buildings stand unfinished. There are no large shopping malls, few luxury brands, and the busiest street has only a dozen or so generic brands and hardware stores. At night, there's no nightlife, and even the streetlights are mostly broken, creating a desolate and deserted atmosphere.

Assistant Yang glanced at the town casually, and suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Jiang Shu!

There's no other reason than that, being able to remain unmoved by the BOSS's fierce offensive of beauty and wealth in such an environment is a quality that not every girl can possess!
