To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

His palms were sweating slightly, but he finally answered the phone, "Feed?"

Jiang's mother's voice came through, "Jin Huan, um,..."

Jiang Jinhuan's fingers curled slightly, and he remained silent, waiting.

Jiang's mother's voice was a little tense, as if she had hesitated for a long time before speaking, "You... could you come back tonight? There's something I want to discuss with you about at home."

Jiang Jinhuan was silent for two seconds: "What is it?"

"It's about... the shares and assets previously owned by Xiao Zhe."

Jiang Jinhuan's fingers paused for a moment. "About the assets?"

His first reaction wasn't anger, but confusion.

He didn't understand why his mother would suddenly bring this up!

Prior to this, they had never expressed any dissatisfaction regarding these assets!

Why bring this up all of a sudden now?

Jiang's mother paused, her voice even lower, "Your father hasn't been feeling well lately, and he wants to rearrange some things. Can you talk to him about it when you get back?"

Jiang Jinhuan held his phone, a vague feeling that something was wrong.

Is his father in poor health?

When he went back last time, Jiang's father didn't look too good, but he was still in good health.

How could things have gotten so bad in such a short time?

After taking over the Jiang Group, Jiang's father no longer visited often.

However, Jiang Jinhuan did not touch Jiang's father's shares.

Because of the rapid development of the Jiang Group these days, it can be said that although Jiang's father now holds fewer shares, their value has more than doubled compared to before.

Is he still not satisfied and wants to regain control of the Jiang family?

But it doesn't seem like it.

Since his father woke up from his coma last time, he has been in poor health and can't take care of the company's affairs at all!

Even if he wanted to, he simply didn't have the energy!

Jiang Jinhuan tapped his fingers on the table. "Okay. I'll go over tonight."

After hanging up the phone, he stood by the dormitory window and looked at the darkening sky outside for a while.

He felt that something was wrong.

He took out his phone, tapped the screen twice, and sent a message: "Keep an eye on the Jiang family's movements. Let me know immediately if anything seems amiss."

The other party quickly replied with a "yes".

The person belongs to Qin Lan. Qin Lan made this person follow her and do things for her!

With him gathering information, he's the perfect person to keep watch!

At 7 p.m., Jiang Jinhuan arrived at the Jiang family's old residence.

Since Jiang Zhe went to jail, he has occasionally come to visit his parents.

Although he has been kicked out, he is still indecisive and cares about them quite a bit!

Jiang's father and mother seemed to have changed their attitude towards him, perhaps because they had placed the last hope of the Jiang family on him!

The living room lights were on, and Jiang's mother sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in both hands, her knuckles slightly white.

Jiang's father sat on the other side, looking down at the ground, not looking at him.

Jiang Jinhuan changed his shoes and went inside, sitting down opposite him: "Dad, Mom, what did you want to see me about?"

Jiang's mother looked up at him, then quickly looked down again.

She opened her mouth, but the words she had been preparing for a long time got stuck in her throat.

After a long pause, she finally spoke: "Jin Huan... about your brother's shares and assets last time... could you...?"

She didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was already quite clear.

Jiang Jinhuan leaned back on the sofa, looking at her calmly: "Mom, those things were documented with signed agreements, in black and white, legally binding. And—"

He paused for a moment, his tone not harsh, but carrying an indescribable sense of distance: "I am no longer a member of the Jiang family."

Once the contract was signed, these items should theoretically have no further connection with the Jiang family, so I won't return them.

Jiang Jinhuan's eyes flickered; something was wrong, a million things were wrong.

If they wanted these shares, they wouldn't have given them to them in the first place, nor would they have waited until now to suddenly ask for them.

Because the best opportunity has passed, and although his father is not a very smart person, he can't be blind to this!

The air in the living room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Jiang's mother gripped the teacup tightly, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something but then swallowed it back.

Jiang's father remained silent, his head bowed, his expression unreadable.

Looking at their expressions, Jiang Jinhuan's doubts grew stronger.

They should not lack money now, and their personal wealth should even be greater than before.

Their sudden demand for the shares and assets that had already been transferred was definitely not because they were "short of money".

They're hiding something from him.

Jiang Jin Huan didn't press further, and stood up: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

He walked very slowly.

But even as he walked out the door, they neither called him back nor stopped him from leaving.

This made him even more puzzled.

It seems that mentioning those shares was just a casual remark, and that was it; whether or not they agreed was completely irrelevant.

This is more like completing a task.

Mission accomplished?

Who would assign them tasks?

Suddenly he stopped in his tracks, thinking of someone!

As he walked out of the Jiang family's old house, the night breeze, carrying the warmth of early summer, rushed towards him.

He stood at the doorway for a moment, then took out his phone and sent another message to the person who had just sent him: "Check if Jiang Zhe has been released from prison early, the sooner the better."

Then he put away his phone and drove away.

Behind him, in the living room of the Jiang family's old house, Jiang's mother finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Jiang Zhe has reached this point, and he's completely finished.

The truth will eventually come out; Jiang Zhe's affair will be discovered sooner or later.

At this point, Jiang Zhe has absolutely no hope of inheriting the Jiang family business.

The Jiang family line cannot end, so Jiang's mother cannot allow Jiang Jinhuan to get into trouble again.

Jiang Jinhuan has now become the only hope for the Jiang family to continue its bloodline.

Jiang's father remained silent for a while, without refuting.

That evening, Jiang Zhe reappeared at the entrance of the Jiang family's old residence.

He changed into dark clothes, and four burly men followed behind him, each standing silently in the shadows like five pillars.

When Jiang's mother opened the door and saw him, her legs went weak and she almost fell over.

"Xiao Zhe...you..."

Jiang Zhe walked into the living room expressionlessly, then turned to look at his mother: "Did you make the call? Did that bastard agree to return the things?"

Jiang's mother gripped the doorframe, her voice trembling: "He... he said he wouldn't return the things, that those things have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore!"

"Hehe, it's alright now?"

Jiang's mother's face turned pale. "Xiao Zhe... your father isn't well, please don't make things difficult for us..."

Jiang Zhe's face instantly darkened.

"Heh, looks like he doesn't care about you guys much!"

Mr. Jiang said, "That was already a condition we agreed to. He's no longer a member of the Jiang family, so those things naturally don't belong to the Jiang family anymore. If he doesn't return them, there's nothing we can do!"

Jiang Zhe laughed, "Fine, if there's no way to overcome it, then forget it!"

Jiang's father and mother breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

But before they could be completely at ease...

Jiang Zhe spoke again, "Then how about this? You guys arrange to meet him, and I'll discuss this with him personally!"

Jiang Zhe bared his fangs!
