Chapter 1388: How to Live in the Capital?
Leng Shaojia didn’t know what to do now and forgot her painful waist for the time being.
“Shaojia, what’s wrong? You scared me!” Jiang Shuyuan shook Leng Shaojia’s shoulders and her sight fell on the screen of Leng Shaojia’s phone. She wanted to figure out why Leng Shaojia looked so shocked and terrified.
Leng Shaojia, however, tried to move her phone away, but it was too late and Jiang Shuyuan already saw the news.
Jiang Shuyuan was also greatly surprised, and she remembered the trip the Leng family had made to City B about a week ago. However, nobody mentioned the car accident when they were back.
All of a sudden, Jiang Shuyuan realized something and turned to look at Leng Shaojia with suspicion.
Leng Shaojia looked excited when she just received the call and she asked whether it was successful once she answered the call. It was possible that Leng Shaojia had something to do with this car accident.
Jiang Shuyuan was frightened by this idea. Although she was reluctant to believe it, Leng Shaojia’s reaction and expressions told everything. It couldn’t be a coincidence! Besides, Leng Shaojia never got along with Gu Ning, and Jiang Shuyuan knew it very well.
“Shaojia, be honest with mom. Does it have something to do with you?” Jiang Shuyuan asked.
“What? No, of course not!” Leng Shaojia denied it at once, but she panicked as well. “It has nothing to do with me.”
However, no matter how Leng Shaojia denied it, her nervous expression betrayed her. Jiang Shuyuan was sure that Leng Shaojia was involved in the car accident too, which was unacceptable in her eyes. She always thought that Leng Shaojia was just a spoiled kid, but she was surprised that Leng Shaojia would hire a killer to murder someone.
Even though Gu Ning was their enemy, Master Leng and other important members of the Leng family were with Gu Ning at that time!
“Shaojia, how could you…” Jiang Shuyuan was too angry to finish her sentence. She hated Gu Ning as well, but she wouldn’t have any thoughts to murder her. She didn’t care about Gu Ning’s life either, but Gu Ning’s death couldn’t have anything to do with them.
“I-I…” Leng Shaojia wanted to deny it again, but she didn’t know how to do that right now.
Jiang Shuyuan lost sympathy for Leng Shaojia.
“Haven’t you ever thought about the result? What if your grandfather, Aunt Yin, Uncle Yuanzhen, or Leng Shaoting were killed in the car accident? How is the Leng family able to live in the capital?” Jiang Shuyuan was furious, and her voice was still trembling in fear.
Jiang Shuyuan disliked Leng Shaoting, and Leng Yuanzhen’s family, but she was clearly aware of their importance to the Leng family. Without them, the Leng family would no longer be so influential in the capital.
Although Master Leng was retired, those who had worked for him before were still loyal to him. And if Master Leng passed away, they might not support the Leng family as usual. Leng Shaoting was a major general in the army, so he also held a high position in this country.
At this moment, Leng Shaoming was back. He heard Jiang Shuyuan criticizing Leng Shaojia, so he didn’t walk inside, but waited outside. He didn’t hear what they had said earlier, but he heard what they were talking about in the following minutes.
Leng Shaojia cried, “I-I didn’t want Gu Ning to be killed. I simply wanted to disable her and to teach her a lesson. I don’t know why the killer suddenly hit her car…”
It was true that she had no intention to kill Gu Ning, so she was unwilling to be criticized for it.
Leng Shaoming, on the contrary, was shocked. He stood up and ran into the room, which scared Jiang Shuyuan and Leng Shaojia.
“What have you done?” Leng Shaoming questioned Leng Shaojia.
“I-I…” Leng Shaojia was frightened by Leng Shaoming’s serious expression, and couldn’t utter another word.
“Tell me!” Leng Shaoming was mad. He didn’t like Gu Ning either. If Leng Shaoting married her, Leng Shaoting would be more noticeable and successful than him. It was the last thing he wanted to see, but he had reason and he knew what he could do and what he couldn’t.
Actually, once Leng Shaoting married Gu Ning, the Leng family and the Tang family would be allies, which was good news.
As a member of the Leng family, he absolutely hoped that it could be powerful forever. Most importantly, if the Tang family found out what Leng Shaojia had done to Gu Ning, the Leng family would be in trouble. In that case, their enemies might seize this chance to attack the Leng family.
Leng Shaojia was left no choice but to tell Leng Shaoming everything. “I hate Gu Ning, so I hired someone to teach her a lesson, but I have no intention to directly kill her. I’m also surprised that the man dared to hit Gu Ning with a big truck. Gu Ning was fine, but the man was caught and sentenced to death because he attacked a senior officer in our country.”
