Chapter 255: Director Jiang Was Arrested
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Song Qin picked up her call from an unknown corner. Her voice was very soft, making it sound like an underground meeting.
“Hello, Miss Qingqian…”
Lin Qingqian: “How’s the situation in Tianyue Group now?”
“Not good,” Song Qin said softly. “Second Master Jiang and many higher-ups came to look for Director Jiang today. They’re obviously looking for trouble with him.”
Although Tianyue Group was the Jiang Family’s business, to be able to reach its current position, it couldn’t do without the support of many other shareholders.
Now that Jiang Yanshen’s matter had caused a storm in the city, causing the share price of Tianyue Group to fall and the shareholders to suffer heavy losses, they naturally had to look for Jiang Yanshen to take responsibility.
Moreover, there was still Jiang Chongjing fanning the flames behind his back.
If even Lin Qingqian could imagine his current situation, it must be difficult for him to move.
“I understand. Remember to inform me if there’s anything new.”
After Song Qin agreed, Lin Qingqian ended the call.
Lin Qingqian sat for a while and checked her work schedule. She dialed the office line and asked Su Ying to move her work back. She wanted to go out.
Jiang Yanshen had just sent the shareholders away. He leaned back in his chair, his cold brows unable to hide his fatigue.
When Lin Qingqian walked in, he didn’t notice her.
Until she put her hand on his shoulder and asked with concern, “Are you all right?”
Jiang Yanshen looked up at her, a trace of surprise flashing across his black eyes. He grabbed her fair hand. “Why are you here?”
“I saw the news online.” Lin Qingqian’s red lips curled up slightly. “I’m a little worried about you.”
Jiang Yanshen held her hand and let her sit on him. “I said, don’t worry. I can handle these things.”
Although he said that, the current situation was really disadvantageous to him.
Lin Qingqian hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up her mind.
“Why don’t I hold a press conference to help you clarify?”
No one’s words could be more convincing than her testimony.
Jiang Yanshen frowned and held her hand tightly. His voice was tense and firm. “No need.”
“But—”
“Qianqian.” Jiang Yanshen interrupted her and gently touched her dark hair with his other hand. He said in a low and mellow voice, “I said that I can handle it. Moreover, your brand has just opened to the market. There shouldn’t be any negative news at this time.”
Now that he was already the public enemy of the entire Internet, if she got involved with him, it would affect her career.
She had worked so hard for the divorce and to build her career. She had worked night after night to draw those design drafts. He had seen how much effort she had put into this brand.
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. She knew that she should not be emotional at this time, but—
At the thought that Li Guilan and Jiang Chongjing had joined forces to deal with him and he was alone in the Jiang Family with no help, her heart ached like a needle was pricking it.
Those people were all his blood relatives. Why did they force him to this point?
“Qianqian, you’re very smart and talented, but your heart is too soft.” Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was an elder teaching her. “If you’re just an ordinary person, being soft-hearted isn’t a bad thing, but being soft-hearted in the business world is a big taboo. Do you understand?”
The business world was like a battlefield with treacherous clouds. It was a competition of schemes and determination. If one was soft-hearted, they would lose everything.
“I understand,” Lin Qingqian said softly. “But could it be that even you can’t do
“No.” Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips moved as he said seriously, “You have to learn to separate your feelings from your career. Didn’t I teach you before?”
Jiang Yanshen had taught Lin Qingqian these principles a long time ago, and she had always remembered them, but…
She understood the logic, but it was not so easy.
“If it’s me that’s in trouble, would you be able to distinguish so clearly?” Lin Qingqian asked him.
There was something fleeting in Jiang Yanshen’s black eyes. Then, he replied decisively, “I can. Qianqian, this is a society where the strong prey on the weak. If you don’t have your own rules of survival, you’re destined to be replaced.”
Lin Qingqian had guessed that he would say this, but when she heard it with her own ears, she still felt a little disappointed.
Perhaps this was the world of a man. In his world, the strong lived, and the weak died.
Seeing that she was silent, Jiang Yanshen reached out and pinched the tip of her nose. “Are you unhappy?
Lin Qingqian narrowed her eyes and shook her head. “I’m just thinking of other ways to help you!”
Jiang Yanshen lowered his head and kissed her cheek. “If you have the time, why don’t you think about what kind of clothes to help me design?”
“Huh?” Lin Qingqian tilted her head and looked at him, her face filled with confusion.
“I heard that you agreed to make the front desk girl a dress.” Jiang Yanshen’s exquisite face was a little unhappy. “You haven’t made a shirt for me all these years.”
Was she supposed to drink this kind of vinegar?
Lin Qingqian’s plain face was filled with helplessness. “I make women’s clothes.”
She was not good at men’s clothes.
Jiang Yanshen raised his eyebrows. “Does art distinguish between gender?”
Lin Qingqian:
There was no way to refute this.
“Help me make one, okay?” he coaxed softly.
Lin Qingqian’s nose was filled with the faint fragrance of ebony from his body. His low and hoarse voice was mixed with temptation. It was really difficult to refuse.
“I’ll… try. ”
A smile appeared on Jiang Yanshen’s good-looking lips. He lowered his head and kissed her lips. “I’m looking forward to it.”
Previously, he wanted to make their relationship public, and Lin Qingqian wanted to keep a low profile. Now that Lin Qingqian wanted to make it public, he was unwilling.
Lin Qingqian was very clear about his thoughts. Because she was clear, her heart ached even more when she saw him being seriously injured by those rumors on the Internet.
Tianyue Group had cleared the rumors and issued a statement, but those statements were not even as good as toilet paper in the eyes of the public.
All kinds of different kinds of revelations were released constantly. They had already completely demonized Jiang Yanshen.
In the end, there were even rumors that Jiang Yanshen’s bipolar disorder acted up and he’d killed people. However, because he was rich and had status, and was very familiar with the people in the police station, he was fine.
Rumors spread like wildfire. Other than making announcements time and time again, Tianyue Group didn’t take any other substantial actions.
There were even rumors in the outside world that Jiang Yanshen would soon be taken over and the second master of the Jiang Family, Jiang Chongjing, would take over the Corporation.
Lin Qingqian didn’t believe these rumors. Although she couldn’t see Jiang Yanshen these few days, he would send her a WeChat message every day.
When he asked about her meals, he would also ask Song Qin to send her some small things.
Song Qin didn’t look like she was fine, but every time she asked about Jiang Yanshen, Song Qin didn’t know anything.
Such news usually subsided in a few days, but just as the popularity was about to decrease, another dramatic scene appeared.
Li Guilan appeared in front of the public. She was wearing a black dress, revealing bruises on her arms.
She took off her sunglasses to reveal the bruises at the corners of her eyes and cried as she complained about Jiang Yanshen’s crimes.
For a moment, the public’s resentment boiled. The netizens directly boycotted the Tianyue Group and Jiang Yanshen.
Li Guilan expressed that she would no longer protect Jiang Yanshen. She had already called the police to deal with him. She believed that the law was fair and that the doctor would definitely help her son turn over a new leaf. There were even video clips of the police going to Tianyue Group to take Jiang Yanshen away.
When Lin Qingqian received the news, she was in a meeting. The pen in her hand fell to the ground and she stood up and walked out of the meeting room without a word.
As she made the call, she asked Brother Chen to prepare the car. When she received news that Jiang Yanshen was really at the police station, she went straight to the police station.
At the police station, Jiang Yanshen was locked up in the interrogation room with the chief lawyer of the Tianyue Group, Lawyer Zhang.
Lin Qingqian’s request to see Jiang Yanshen was rejected by the police, so she could only call Gu Xici.
Gu Xici came very quickly. He explained the situation to the people in the police station and told Lin Qingqian.
At the moment, Jiang Yanshen was still being questioned. At the moment, the police had the right to detain him, but they could meet him after the questioning ended.
Lin Qingqian waited for 15 minutes before the door of the interrogation room opened. Jiang Yanshen walked out accompanied by a lawyer.
Jiang Yanshen was clearly stunned when he saw her gaze. He walked forward and said in a low voice, “Why are you here?”
“I’m worried about you,” Lin Qingqian answered honestly.
How could she not be worried when he was arrested by the police?
Jiang Yanshen pursed his lips, seemingly smiling. “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Lin Qingqian didn’t say anything, but she looked at him with unconcealable worry.
He always said that he was fine and she didn’t have to worry, but now that things had developed to this point and the situation was getting worse, how could she not worry?
Lawyer Zhang: “Director Jiang, I’ll go and settle the bail procedures. You can go back first.”
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to be bailed out, but Jiang Yanshen’s identity was special, so he could be bailed out.
There were many reporters at the entrance of the police station. To avoid being photographed, Gu Xici led them through the back door of the police station.
Gu Xici personally drove them back to Begonia Courtyard.
Along the way, the three of them didn’t speak. When they returned to the Begonia Courtyard, Jiang Yanshen wanted to take a shower and change his clothes.
Seeing his tired expression, Lin Qingqian wanted him to rest for a while.
Jiang Yanshen said that there was no need. He still had to return to the company later.
Lin Qingqian could only heat up a cup of milk for him, wanting him to drink it more comfortably.
Jiang Yanshen changed his clothes and went downstairs. Lin Qingqian had also warmed up the milk and brought it to him. “Go back to the company after drinking the milk.”
Jiang Yanshen took the warm cup and his thin lips curled up slightly. He reached out to hold her hand and looked at her as he drank, his eyes gentle and loving.
Lin Qingqian looked at him with her bright eyes. There was a glint in her eyes as she smiled gently.
Jiang Yanshen handed the cup to her after drinking the milk and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. “I’m leaving.”
Lin Qingqian sent him to the door with the cup.
Jiang Yanshen sat in the car and unbuttoned his suit. He lowered the car window to look at her and instructed the chauffeur to drive.
The car window slowly rolled up, and he suddenly felt dizzy. Before he could react, he fell onto the seat.
Gu Xici walked to Lin Qingqian’s side. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Lin Qingqian looked up and met his gaze. “Is there any reason why I can’t do this?”
Her voice was light, and her delicate face was unprecedentedly firm..
