Chapter 354 Exposure
At this moment, they were all silent, the atmosphere heavy to an extreme.
After a long while, Jiang Huiyun finally let out a cold, mocking laugh and shook her head, then said to Wang Wanjun, "Bring me my clothes, I want to go see my 'dear' sister and brother-in-law!"
If someone had touched Jiang Qihui at that moment, they would have found that his whole body was ice-cold, chilled to the extreme.
The heart was cold, so naturally, the body was cold too.
Wang Wanjun, saying nothing, went to get Jiang Qihui's clothes and then began to push his wheelchair outside.
Jiang Qihui's family lived in the affluent district under Liu Rizhao, and they happened to be neighbors with Che Xiaoxiao.
Because in recent years Wang Xuantao's career had grown increasingly successful, gaining some fame in the industry, many large real-estate companies had asked for their help with decoration projects.
Looking at the luxurious villa in front of them, the expressions on the faces of Jiang Qihui's family of three were very unpleasant because what they saw was not just a villa but the hard-earned money that should have belonged to them!
The situation for their family was getting worse and worse, while Wang Xuantao's family was doing better and better. This was undoubtedly unfair.
If they hadn't met Hao Jian, they would never have been able to change their situation, nor would they ever have learned the truth. They could have been deceived by Wang Xuantao's family for their entire lives, dying thinking of them as great benefactors.
They were both bitter and angry, with an endless rage that seemed ready to burn the villa in front of them to ashes.
"Let's go!" Hao Jian said, taking the initiative to walk into the villa.
Jiang Huiyun just happened to come out to take out the trash and, upon seeing Jiang Qihui and the others at her doorstep, her face immediately turned icy: "What are you doing here? We don't welcome you! Jiang Qihui, from now on, our families are strangers, we're done. Get lost!"
Seeing Jiang Huiyun's spiteful face, Jiang Qihui and the others couldn't help but laugh.
Jiang Huiyun's expression made them feel as if they were the ones in the wrong, as if Jiang Huiyun's family had done nothing.
At this time, with Jiang Huiyun still acting high and mighty in front of them, they found her exceedingly detestable.
"What are you laughing at? Didn't you hear me tell you to leave?" Jiang Huiyun, seeing Jiang Qihui sneering, couldn't help but flare up. Were these people here to start trouble?
"All visitors are guests, and all the more so when it's your own elder brother. Don't you plan to invite us in to sit for a while?" Hao Jian said with a sinister chuckle. Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire
"You want me to invite you into my home after you've crippled my son? Are you out of your mind?" Jiang Huiyun also couldn't help but laugh coldly, speaking with revulsion.
"Even if you don't invite us, we're coming in anyway." Hao Jian said, pushing Jiang Huiyun aside, and then proceeded into the house with Jiang Qihui's family.
At this, Jiang Huiyun's rage surged, and she shouted, "Wang Xuantao, come down quick, a bunch of penniless troublemakers are here!"
No sooner had her words fallen, than a voice came from upstairs: "Who the hell is it?"
Then, the sound of stomping footsteps followed, as Wang Xuantao hurried downstairs. Seeing Jiang Qihui and Hao Jian among others, his expression turned dark immediately.
"What are you doing here?" Wang Xuantao asked sternly.
"Oh, everyone's here? Then let's just settle this issue once and for all!" Hao Jian crossed his arms and looked at Wang Xuantao with interest. "I've already met Zhu Guangming today!"
At these words, Wang Xuantao's expression instantly became unnatural, but he still tried to maintain a calm demeanor. "Oh, so what? Do you think you can get back the compensation from Zhu Guangming?"
"Of course not, because that compensation has long been swallowed up by you!" Hao Jian snorted.
At this accusation, Wang Xuantao and Jiang Huiyun's expressions changed drastically, and they started to look nervous. How did they find out about this?
"I don't know what you're talking about!" Wang Xuantao denied vehemently, clearly looking guilty.
"You don't know what I'm talking about? Liu Rizhao has told me everything. You've illegally taken the compensation that should have gone to Jiang Qihui, and you provided false testimony to prevent Jiang Qihui from getting the compensation. Then, you used Zhu Guangming's dirty money to pretend to help Jiang Qihui's family, making them indebted to you, right?" Hao Jian sneered.@@novelbin@@
Wang Xuantao's face turned instantly pale, for he hadn't expected Hao Jian to be so thoroughly informed about the matter. Was there something wrong with Zhu Guangming's brain, telling Hao Jian all this? Shouldn't such things rot in one's belly forever?
Seemingly guessing Wang Xuantao's confusion, Hao Jian let out a faint smile, "Stop guessing, it wasn't Zhu Guangming who told me voluntarily, it was I who forced him to tell me."
Forced? Wang Xuantao obviously didn't believe it. Zhu Guangming was so powerful and influential, how could Hao Jian, merely a petty thug, force him? Zhu Guangming could easily spend a million or two to have him taken out!
"And you, fully aware of what your husband was doing, didn't stop him. Instead, you joined him in the mire, conspiring against your own brother. Compared to Wang Xuantao, you deserve to die even more!" Hao Jian's voice was ice cold, and in comparison to Wang Xuantao, Jiang Huiyun truly seemed despicable.
If Jiang Huiyun had stopped Wang Xuantao, none of this would have happened—after all, Jiang Qihui was her own brother!
Jiang Huiyun had a stiff expression, her face showing both shock and unease. Aside from knowing that Wang Xuantao had harmed her brother, Hao Jian also knew about her collusion with him.
Initially, Jiang Huiyun had wanted to pretend ignorance about the matter, but now it seemed unlikely.
"Jiang Huiyun, did a dog eat your conscience? He is your older brother! How could you do such a thing to him?" Wang Wanjun too was furious, wishing she could devour Jiang Huiyun alive.
Jiang Qihui also fixed Jiang Huiyun with a sharp gaze, his eyes filled with deep disappointment.
Jiang Huiyun, feeling guilty, hung her head low, no longer sporting the arrogance she had previously, mute as a frosted eggplant, daring not to speak.
"I used to wonder why Wang Mingzhe ended up like that. Now, I finally understand—it seems your whole family is a bunch of beasts!" Hao Jian chuckled sarcastically.
"You all get out of here! Or I'll call security!" Wang Xuantao roared furiously, now driven to a shame-fueled rage. His meticulous plan had been unraveled by Hao Jian, leaving him nothing to say.
In that moment, Jiang Qihui, who had remained silent, stared straight at Jiang Huiyun and asked indifferently, "I'll only ask you once, did you do it?"
"So what if I did? You might not even get the money anyway. We did it to secure Zhu Guangming and then extract some money from him. Without us, you wouldn't have gotten even half," responded Jiang Huiyun brazenly, considering that the truth was out, she might as well admit it, feeling completely justified.
"Who are you fooling? Zhu Guangming already said that he was prepared to compensate from the start. It was you who approached him with a way to reduce the compensation for Jiang Qihui, then ordered your people to fabricate evidence against him. And did you give them the half of the compensation you recovered?
Jesus, now you're here playing the good person?" Hao Jian glared at Jiang Huiyun, even he, an outsider, was incensed by her shamelessness.
Intimidated by Hao Jian's glare, Jiang Huiyun responded with a dissatisfied hum but dared not retort.
But from Jiang Huiyun's attitude, it was apparent she felt not an ounce of remorse, just like Wang Xuantao. Of course, if they felt any unease, they wouldn't have done such a thing in the first place.
"Jiang Huiyun, are you even human? You're siblings from the same mother!" Wang Wanjun shouted, incredulous as she stared at Jiang Huiyun, unable to comprehend how her aunt could be so heartless.
By then, even Jiang Qihui's eyes were moist with tears, a deep sense of injustice filling him. Wang Wanjun was taken aback, but how could he have anticipated this?
After their parents passed away, Jiang Huiyun was his only relative. Yet this very same relative had reduced him to a disabled man!
Because of Jiang Huiyun and her husband, he missed the best timing for medical treatment and completely became disabled. He laid in bed for years, becoming a burden to his family. Watching his wife toil from dawn till dusk and his daughter spend years without new clothes, Jiang Qihui felt a pain that was akin to a knife twisting in his heart.
If not for Hao Jian's intervention, perhaps he would have continued on that downward path for his entire life.
However, he had accepted his fate, believing it was his misfortune. But now, knowing the truth, his world completely collapsed. His own sister cruelly left him disabled, and after that, she felt not even a hint of guilt, acting as if it was her due.
Jiang Qihui was filled with bitterness, yet more than his hatred, it was his disappointment that prevailed.
Jiang Huiyun let them berate her without a word in reply; after all, the money was already in her hands, so to her, it didn't matter what Jiang Qihui and the others said.
"Why waste words on them? Make them leave quickly!" Wang Xuantao snapped. Now, he found the presence of Jiang Qihui and the others especially irksome.
"Get out now, or I'll call security! This is a high-end residential area, not a place for you bunch of dead poor people!" Jiang Huiyun also spoke rudely, her lips curling into a mean sneer. She seemed sure that Jiang Qihui and the others had no power over them, or perhaps she felt they couldn't do anything to them, therefore appearing somewhat triumphant.
"I'll sue you!" Wang Wanjun growled, pointing her finger at Jiang Huiyun and Wang Xuantao, cursing them.
"Sue me? Do you have any evidence? And it's been several years since the incident, the worker's compensation department has already given evidence, can you overturn the case?" Wang Xuantao chuckled dismissively.
He knew the case was settled. If it were to be overturned, neither the worker's compensation department nor the police would be willing, for admitting to a reversal would imply recognizing that their previous investigations were wrong. This would embarrass these departments and cause the public to question their competence; they wouldn't be that foolish.
What do you think?
