Chapter 436 Old Master Jiang’s Surprise
When Old Master Jiang received the call from Old Master Gong, he asked with a smile at first, “Ol Gong, where are you hiding now? Are you planning to be a coward now?” Old Master Gong immediately scolded him over the phone, “Bullshit. Ol Jiang, you’re the coward.”
“If you’re not a coward, why can’t I find you in the capital?” Old Master Jiang mocked, “Have you gone into hiding?”
Old Master Jiang was actually testing him. He wanted to know where Old Master Gong was so he could tell the rest of the Gong Family. Once they knew, they would go and trouble Old Master Gong.
He knew that Old Master Gong didn’t have good health. Last time, he was so provoked by his nephew that he fainted. The doctor said that he couldn’t be provoked anymore.
However, Old Master Jiang wanted Old Master Gong to suffer more tribulations. It was best that he’d die from it. Without Old Master Gong, the Gong Family would shrivel with just a brat at the helm. That was his dream.
Then, the Jiang Family would soon overtake the Gong Family. As long as Old Master Gong was around, the Jiang Family would forever be placed second. Jiang Huaiyuan had fought with Old Master Gong his entire life already, and he was always in second place. He wanted to take down Old Master Gong so that the Jiang Family would be the first family in the capital. But Old Master Gong was no fool. Plus, the two of them had crossed swords most of their lives, so they understood each other very well. To prove that his health was improving, Old Master Gong said loudly, “OI Jiang, I’m recuperating. The doctor says I need peace and quiet. I can’t have that in Beijing.”
When Old Master Jiang heard Old Master Gong’s energetic voice, he furrowed his brows tightly. The old man’s voice is too powerful to be suffering from any illness. Has he really found a peaceful place to recuperate? That’s impossible.’ He knew that Old Master Gong had taken a bullet near his heart when he was young. It made surgery impossible. The bullet wound affected his health, and he normally couldn’t speak too loudly. But now…
Old Master Jiang asked with a smile, “Ol Gong, your voice is full of energy. It sounds like you’re getting better.”
“You’re right,” Old Master Gong responded. “The doctor said I can live for another eight or ten years without any problems.”
Eight or ten years!
Old Master Jiang’s pupils constricted, and his expression was filled with disbelief. ‘Has Ol Gong’s body recovered?’
While Old Master Jiang was pondering that, Old Master Gong got to the purpose of his call. “Ol Jiang, are you investigating a girl recently?” Old Master Jiang’s pupils shook. “How do you know?” He received constant reports from his assassins in the first few days, but then, they went completely silent. Old Master Jiang had a bad feeling. Old Master Gong said angrily, “How do I know? Hah! The person you are trying to investigate my granddaughter-in-law. Now, they are in Hao ‘Er’s captivity. How do you expect me not to know about this?”
Old Master Jiang’s eyes trembled, and the phone almost fell. He said in disbelief, “What did you say? You said that girl is your granddaughter-in-law?”
“Of course,” Old Master Gong answered firmly. Then, he added sternly, “Ol Jiang, why are you suddenly investigating my granddaughter-in-law? Also, how did you know about my granddaughter-in-law?” Then, he paused for a moment. His tone was unusually solemn and stern as he said loudly, “Jiang Huaiyuan, I’m warning you. If you dare to do anything to harm my granddaughter-in-law, you will definitely regret it.”
Old Master Jiang was still incredulous. He asked, “You’re saying that I’m investigating your granddaughter-in-law?! Ol Gong, you’re not lying to me, are you? I’m clearly investigating my Jiang Tao’s crush.”
“Ol Jiang, are you suspecting that I’m lying to you?” Old Master Gong was furious. “Do I need to lie to you? What does your Tao Zi’s crush have to do with my granddaughter-in-law? Besides,” Old Master Gong paused for a moment and said sharply, “I heard that your Jiang Tao is engaged to that child of the Qin family. Do you think that under your suppression, Jiang Tao still dares to like other
girls?”
Old Master Jiang’s face was dark, and his temples were throbbing.
“Also, don’t you know your grandson? Since he is engaged to the girl of the Qin family, he will not do anything to let her down. “Ol Jiang, you are really getting more and more muddle-headed as you get older. You have a good grandson. You can raise him normally, but you have to turn your grandson into an emotionless robot. Is this what you want to see? Even if Tao Zi manages to raise the Jiang Family to great heights in the future, will you be there to see it? How many more years do you think you’ll still be here on Earth?”
“Gong Zhen!” Jiang Huaiyuan’s face turned even darker, and his anger soared.
“Alright. That’s all I want to say. You can heed my advice or not, your choice.” After saying that, he directly hung up the phone.
