88: A call for help, our last hope
Only the Jiang Family knew about Jiang Chuan's return; no outsiders knew, not even the Qin Family was aware of this matter.
At the time Qin Lingwei and Jiang Chuan recognized each other.
Her mental state also improved day by day, and her depression was gradually recovering.
During the day, Jiang Chuan spent time with Lin Xiaoxiao, Lin Yi, and Xu Jia, touring the entire capital city, enjoying food, drink, and entertainment.
In the evening, Jiang Chuan would stay by Qin Lingwei's side, and the family enjoyed the happiness of reunion.
Three days passed.
Lin Yi's vacation ended, and he returned to the military base, but he told Jiang Chuan and the others that he would be coming home for the New Year this time.
"Old Jiang, you don't come back every night. What exactly are you going out to do? If you do anything to betray Sister Qingcheng, I won't forgive you."
"That's right, Second Brother. If you do anything to betray Sister Qingcheng, I won't acknowledge you as my Second Brother anymore."
Jiang Chuan separated from them every night, staying out for the entire night. Xu Jia and Lin Xiaoxiao began to suspect Jiang Chuan, surrounding him during the day, determined to find out what Jiang Chuan was doing.
"Don't you know what kind of person I am? As for what I do at night, I can't tell you yet, but don't worry, I absolutely won't do anything to betray Sister Qingcheng."
Jiang Chuan looked at the two fierce individuals who were clearly determined to get to the bottom of the matter. He didn't want to deceive them, so he could only reply with a wry smile.
Xu Jia and Lin Xiaoxiao heard Jiang Chuan's words and saw his serious expression, and ultimately did not press the issue further. The National Day holiday ended.
After spending some time with Qin Lingwei, her mental state improved significantly. Jiang Chuan decided to stay and accompany Qin Lingwei more, planning to leave only after her mental condition had completely recovered.
"What? Old Jiang, you aren't returning to North of the River with us? What exactly are you doing here?"
Xu Jia and Lin Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously upon learning that Jiang Chuan still needed to stay in the capital city for a while.
"I will tell you about this matter later. Don't ask any more questions; even if you keep asking, I can't tell you."
Jiang Chuan could only say this bitterly to Xu Jia and Lin Xiaoxiao.
Seeing Jiang Chuan's resolute attitude, the two could only warn him sternly that he absolutely could not make a mistake, or else they would no longer be brothers or siblings.
Jiang Chuan smiled helplessly.
He continued to stay in the capital city for ten days.
During those ten days, the depression that had plagued Qin Lingwei for many years completely recovered because she had found Jiang Chuan.
"Mom, I need to leave the capital city now. I will come back to visit you when I have time."
"Alright. When I have time, I will also come to find you."
Qin Lingwei was already very satisfied that Jiang Chuan could accompany her for more than ten days. Since Jiang Chuan had his own circle, his own friends, and his own matters, she naturally wouldn't stop him, only smiling as she agreed.
"Then I'm returning to North of the River."
Jiang Chuan smiled as he bid farewell to Qin Lingwei. Qin Lingwei knew that their relationship could not be exposed temporarily, so she did not personally see Jiang Chuan off. Although it was a pity, her son had been found, and they would have plenty of time together in the future, so she wasn't overly sad.
"Brother Jiang, something happened to a member of the Steel Gun Army's family. I truly can't do anything about it. I wonder if you could help this family member."
Jiang Chuan returned to Jiangbei City by plane. He opened his phone and saw a message sent by Steel Gun King.
"Hmm? Tell me about it."
Jiang Chuan frowned slightly as he looked at Steel Gun King's message and immediately asked.
"Brother Jiang, this family member of the Steel Gun Army is relatively older. He is an ordinary office worker, and the reason he followed me was simple: to match with you and earn five hundred yuan to subsidize his household expenses."
"Three days ago, he was desperate and came to me, hoping I could help him."
"He has a beautiful daughter who just turned sixteen this year and just started high school."
"But an unfortunate incident befell him."
"His daughter was violated."
"He wanted to seek justice for his daughter, but he exhausted all methods. Whether through the internet or the Official Authorities, everything was easily suppressed by the perpetrators because those who committed the violation were wealthy and powerful locally."
"He tried everything, but reality ultimately dealt him a heavy blow, leaving him with no hope."
"He was desperate, and the only wealthy person he knew was me. He contacted me, hoping I could help him."
"I tried to use my own abilities to help this fan, but it didn't help him at all. I was even threatened, and I angered the perpetrators. They actually sent people to smash up this fan's house. Because he was afraid, this fan has hidden in the countryside. Furthermore, I heard from him that his daughter, unable to bear the trauma, attempted suicide by cutting her wrists, but thankfully, the fan discovered her in time and saved her."
Steel Gun King immediately recounted the fan's entire ordeal.
"I understand. Give me this fan's contact information, and I will handle this matter."
Jiang Chuan hadn't expected such wicked individuals still existed in society today. His tone was calm, but fierce anger burned in his heart.
These perpetrators had gone too far. Since that was the case, he would see this matter through to the end.
He wanted to see if the other party's background was truly untouchable!
Could the other party truly stand above the law!
"Alright, Brother Jiang."
Steel Gun King immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Jiang Chuan's words, understanding that Jiang Chuan was willing to help the fan.
Steel Gun King believed that as long as Jiang Chuan was willing to help, the fan's problem would definitely be solved.
Steel Gun King immediately handed the fan's contact information over to Jiang Chuan.
After getting the fan's contact information, Jiang Chuan didn't hesitate and immediately called the other party. Jiang Chuan dialed several times, but the fan did not answer his call, causing him to frown.
"Little Steel, the other party didn't answer my call. Ask them if something happened."
Jiang Chuan spoke to Steel Gun King, asking him to inquire about the situation.
"Alright, Brother Jiang, I will contact the other party immediately."
Steel Gun King frowned and immediately replied to Jiang Chuan.
"Old Yang, why didn't you answer Brother Jiang's call? I've already told Brother Jiang about your situation, and he has agreed to help you."
Steel Gun King immediately got through to Old Yang's phone. When the other party answered, Steel Gun King also breathed a sigh of relief and, without giving him a chance to speak, immediately asked the question.
"Brother Jiang?"
Old Yang frowned in confusion upon hearing Steel Gun King's words.
"It's Boss Thirteen, the one who leads you in making money."
"Ah!?"
Old Yang was instantly shocked when he heard what Steel Gun King said.
"Was the person who called me just now Boss Thirteen? I didn't know! I don't dare answer calls from strangers nowadays. I'll call him back right away."
After learning Jiang Chuan's identity, Old Yang instantly became agitated, and the light returned to his faded eyes.
"Mhm, go ahead."
Steel Gun King could understand Old Yang's excitement. After all, Brother Jiang was his best hope. If Brother Jiang couldn't solve the matter, Steel Gun King himself would be helpless, as Brother Jiang was the most capable person he knew.
The two hung up the phone. Old Yang looked at the missed call on his mobile phone and dialed the number with a trembling hand, his mood excited and complex. This was his last hope!
