Chapter 48 Retribution



Chapter 48 Retribution

It was only after walking outside the gate of the amusement park that Chi Mu'an realized that the van that brought them was gone. It was clearly parked next to the yellow line on the side of the road.

She asked, "Miss Jiang, where's the driver?"

"Are you tired?" Jiang Momian didn't answer, but asked her instead.

Chi Mu'an shook his head, and Jiang Momian said, "Then let's walk for a while, and the car will be parked nearby."

The farther you go from the gate of the amusement park, the fewer people around you, and the air gradually becomes colder.

Finally, the two of them stopped on the side of a small street. At this time, there was no sound in the surroundings. There was no extra pedestrian, only a parked van with its headlights flashing.

Jiang Momian took off the mask, and when the people in the car saw it was her, they got out of the car one by one, and stood over respectfully.

Chi Mu'an saw a group of men in black suits and sunglasses approaching with repulsive expressions. They were full of fierce aura, and none of them seemed to be good. He was startled, "...Miss Jiang, this is it? "

Jiang Momian raised her eyebrows calmly, her aura was much stronger than these four men in black, and she asked coldly, "What did you find?"

The wolves and tigers in front of them instantly turned into kittens. One of them took out a piece of paper from the briefcase and handed it over with both hands: "Miss Jiang, this is the newspaper's payment record and interview address." Then he took out a piece of paper. A voice recorder, "and their media statements."

"We asked, and indeed someone went to the newspaper office to contact the president three days ago, gave them a sum of money, and gave them an address, and asked them to send the media to do interviews."

Jiang Momian looked at the paper, the transfer records showed the bank card numbers and transfer amount of both parties.

Twice, a total of 300 million, which is really a lot of money.

She turned on the recording pen, and the voice came from inside clearly.

"We didn't know it was fake at the time. We definitely didn't collude with the parties to make false reports! Don't report me, don't report me! In fact, when the media went to interview, what the old lady said was unexpected to all of us Ah! So there is no such thing as collusion in advance, and you have really wronged people."

"We also thought about whether we should send it after verification, but the other party sent another sum of money, let us send it immediately, and said that this matter is genuine and can't be wrong, so we..."

"Yes, yes, someone came here once and told us that there was big news in Xishan Village, and it must be breaking news. Let us send someone to interview it. I didn't believe it, so he transferred a sum of money to I said it was an investment fund, and let us share [-]% of the money we made after the news interviews were produced.”

"I thought it was a business, just to make money, and I never thought of harming anyone!"

The voice of fear and panic trembled in the night, Jiang Momian pressed the switch, and the night returned to silence.

After hearing all the words, Chi Muan frowned, thought for a while and asked the man in black: "This... sir, did they say who was the one who went to the newspaper office, and who was the one who paid the money?"

The man in black replied: "They only know that the other party is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has never met him before, and he doesn't know his identity. The name of the transfer is Cheng Yuankang. We searched the name on Baidu, but there was no result."

"Oh, that's right." The man in black took out his mobile phone and played a video inside, "Miss Chi, please take a look. This is the surveillance video we got from the newspaper office that day. He is the one who went to find the president." He pointed to a middle-aged man in the picture, and asked politely, "Does Miss Chi know you?"

Chi Mu'an read it carefully, then shook his head: "I've never seen this person before."

This is also expected.Jiang Momian calmly took a photo of the information printed on the paper, and handed back both the paper and the recording pen: "You guys take care of these two things first."

The man in black put away his things and was still waiting for Jiang Momian's order.

Jiang Momian thought about it for a while, and then ordered: "Create a few photos of the man in the video, and give them to me tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about other things."

After the man in black left, Jiang Moren and Chi Muan went home by car.Before going to bed, Jiang Momian said slowly, "Sleep well, don't worry, we'll go to this village tomorrow. Good night."

"Miss Jiang, good night."

Jiang Moren seemed to have a reassuring magic power, and Chi Mu'an let go of his exhaustion and worries, and had a peaceful and sweet sleep at night.

The next day, the weather was quite bright, and the two came to Xishan Village. The muddy road after the rain a few days ago had been dried again, and the grass beside the road had absorbed the moisture of the rain and the sun, glowing with brand new greenery.

However, the roads in mountainous areas are not as good as in cities. The muddy ground has overturned wheel marks and sunken footprints. Even if it has dried up and solidified, it is still bumpy and uneven. If you are not careful, you will sprain your feet. The road is smooth and easy to walk.

On such a road, Chi Mu'an walked even slower, and he had to struggle to avoid uneven places on the soil with his crutches.If Jiang Momian hadn't been supporting her all the time, she believed without any doubt that when she found the old man's home, she would be exhausted.

"Ah." After walking for a long time, Chi Mu'an suddenly sighed.

"Tired?" Jiang Momian saw the fine sweat on her forehead, and gently wiped it for her with a tissue.

"No." Chi Muan shook his head, with a pitiful expression: "Miss Jiang, look there."

Jiang Momian followed her gaze, and on another hill in the distance stood dilapidated thatched houses, and occasionally some that looked more solid were the few simple bungalows in the group.According to the address information on the paper, the old man they were looking for today should live nearby.

However, there is still a long way to go to the top of the mountain.

Jiang Momian suddenly felt that he had miscalculated and didn't let Moto send them in.She is also to blame for not looking down on this thing.

At this moment, I can only smile wryly, and fill the hole I dug myself, and say, "Well, there should be a residential area in this mountainous area, and we will arrive there after a short walk." According to Chi Muan's speed, this section should be It's half an hour.

However, during these half an hour, their walk was not boring. Chi Muan had a lot of things on his mind, so he talked while walking.

"Miss Jiang, I have really lived in the city for a long time, and I was blinded by pleasure, thinking that every inch of the sky is peaceful and prosperous, which is different from the past. Alas, I just didn't expect that it was I who sat in the well and looked at the sky again. Some people are living a miserable life without seeing the sun, but I don’t know it.”

"Miss Jiang, how do you think their house can shelter from wind and rain?"

"You can see that the weeds on the side of the road grow towards the two sides, and they don't grow in the middle of the road, which means that there are still many people living in this mountain and walking on these roads every day... But why is this mountain village so lonely? I still feel so dilapidated and desolate? It's like...not angry."

"Oh, yes, if the family has a little money, who would want to live in such a remote and muddy mountain village?"

"This place is far away from the city, and the road into the mountains is so long. I don't know if there are children living there. Don't they have to wake up early and stay late at night to go to school?"

"Last time I saw that old man with some inconvenient legs and feet. She is still old and not as good as a young man. It must be very difficult to come to the city once. Even I am tired from walking this way, let alone an old man. A frail old man? Let's not embarrass her later."

"Miss Jiang, you see that the fields on both sides are well taken care of and have a lot of production, why do people living here can't even add a brick or a tile to the house, and still live in thatched houses? "

Later, Chi Muan saw the answer to this question on the road.

Chi Mu'an witnessed a sallow-faced and emaciated brother take out a stack of old banknotes, count them three times with his dusty hands, and put them in his sister's hands solemnly and carefully, telling her to be careful when going to school, I specially took out a one-yuan note and told my sister: Lu Yuan, I must take the bus this time.

When he took out the stack of money from the bottom of the jar, he still stared at Chi Mu'an who was passing by very defensively and viciously, and he hesitated to take out the hand holding the money.It wasn't until he turned his eyes to the side and saw the shiny ring on Jiang Momian's finger, knowing that they were rich and would not covet his own money, that he slowly took out the hidden money.

There was also a trace of frowning between Jiang Momian's brows.

Chi Mu'an left with a slight sigh, and found the old man's house not far away.

Taking out the photos for comparison, the front and back scenes and the construction of the thatched cottage were exactly the same, so Chi Muan walked to the door and knocked lightly on the wooden door.

"Who is it?" Sure enough, it was the old man's voice.

Chi Muan didn't answer, and the door opened, but the old man's cloudy eyes were filled with panic when he saw her, and he was about to close the door in panic.

It's a pity that Jiang Momian easily stopped her weak strength.

After Chi Mu'an asked her three times back and forth, Jiang Momian's tone was also very polite at the moment: "Grandma, we have something to ask you today."

But this kind of politeness was mixed with a kind of silent majesty, and even her soft eyebrows and eyes showed a clear sense of politeness before military service.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, the old man had no choice but to open the door and let the two of them enter the room. With his back to the two of them, he hunched over and walked around the room in a panic, shaking his head vigorously, and shouting in his mouth: "I don't want to go to school." I know, I don't know anything..."

"Grandma, we just want to ask..." Chi Muan's voice was calm and soft, but when he opened his mouth, he was immediately interrupted by the old man's cry.

"I don't know, I don't know, don't ask me, I really don't know anything..." The old man glanced at the wooden chair next to him, sat down tremblingly, turned his head to the side, and didn't dare to look at it they.

"I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose, the retribution is coming..." Chi Mu'an approached, and heard her murmuring with guilt and collapse.
