Chapter 178 The situation is reversed!
Jiang Youli's words made Qin Yulian's eyes widen. She was immediately annoyed and angry. "You brat, how dare you talk to me like that? Have you forgotten something?"
Jiang Youli said bluntly, "I haven't forgotten. It was you who kidnapped my mother and cut off one of her ring fingers, where she was wearing her wedding ring, and threatened me with my mother's safety to make me listen to your family."
Upon hearing Jiang Youli's words, the Long family realized that they were using the life of Jiang's eldest wife, Zhang Susu, to threaten Jiang Youli into apologizing to the Long family.
Qin Yulian was taken aback. Judging from Jiang Youli's reaction, could it be that he didn't care about Zhang Susu's safety at all?
If that's the case, Qin Yulian's feelings can be described as very complicated.
On one hand, she was somewhat gloating, thinking that Zhang Susu really deserved it, since she had meddled in other people's business and accepted that brat Jiang Youli!
On the other hand, if Jiang Youli doesn't care about Zhang Susu's safety, then they won't be able to threaten Jiang Youli, and that would be a big problem!
Since Jiang Youli had brought it up directly, Jiang Yangxu didn't bother to hide it anymore. He frowned and said bluntly, "So, with your current attitude, you really don't care about your mother's life anymore, is that it?"
At this point, Jiang Yangxu stopped, picked up his phone, and dialed Zhao Zhigang's number in front of Jiang Youli, intending to have Zhao Zhigang cut off another of Zhang Susu's fingers and bring it over.
Unexpectedly, after the number was dialed, the phone rang faintly from outside the villa.
Before Jiang Yangxu could even ask questions, Zhang Susu's voice suddenly came from outside.
“Jiang Yangxu, it’s not that Youli doesn’t care about my life, it’s just that I’m already safe and no longer in Zhao Zhigang’s hands.”
Jiang Yangxu stared wide-eyed in disbelief as Zhang Susu helped Old Master Jiang walk in, with Jiang Yehan standing right next to her.
Could it be that Jiang Yehan found the person after stabbing him last night?
No, that's not right!
Jiang Yangxu noticed that Zhang Susu's fingers were still there!
So that finger doesn't belong to Zhang Susu!
Jiang Youli knew what Jiang Yangxu was shocked about, so she took a wooden box out of her coat pocket and threw it in front of Jiang Yangxu. "Second Uncle, whose finger do you think this is?"
Jiang Yangxu hung up the phone, picked up the wooden box, opened the lid, and his breath caught in his throat.
That finger was big and rough; it was clearly not the finger of a pampered woman!
He realized he'd been tricked!
This finger belongs to Lao Zhao!
Jiang Yehan turned around and instructed the East District steward, "Bring the person up."
The East District steward dragged the bound Zhao Zhigang inside and then threw him on the ground.
Zhao Zhigang looked up at the room full of people in a panic, his body trembling.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yangxu's heart sank, and a chill ran down his spine to his head. He knew that his plan to hire Zhao Zhigang to kidnap Zhang Susu had been completely exposed! At this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, standing there helplessly.
Jiang Yehan's icy, piercing question rang out: "Jiang Yangxu, what excuses do you have left for your father?!"
This angry shout plunged the entire room into a deathly silence.
Grandpa Jiang's already aged face was now shrouded in disappointment, every wrinkle seeming to tell of his heartache and anger towards his son.
He demanded sharply, "Second brother, did you really have someone kidnap your sister-in-law?"
Jiang Yangxu knew that no matter how much he denied it, he could not cover up the crimes he had committed, so he chose to remain silent.
However, Jiang Yangxu's increasingly pale face revealed his inner fear and panic.
Seeing this, Old Master Jiang trembled with rage. He raised his voice again and roared, "Speak! I want you to tell me yourself whether you had someone kidnap your sister-in-law or not!"
Jiang Yangxu remained silent, but his body began to tremble with fear of being exposed.
Old Master Jiang's face was ashen. He removed Zhang Susu's hand that was supporting him, and with his cane, he walked quickly toward Jiang Yangxu with faltering but unusually firm steps.
As he approached, he raised his cane and struck Jiang Yangxu's shoulder with all his might, cursing, "You beast! How dare you do such a heinous thing!"
With each strike of the cane, Jiang Yangxu's abdominal wound bleeds from the tightness, soaking his hospital gown.
"Dad, stop hitting him, Dad..." Qin Yulian rushed forward anxiously to grab Old Master Jiang's hand and stop him from continuing to beat her husband.
Old Master Jiang turned around and roared, "Shut up! You deserve to be hit too!"
As he spoke, he turned around and struck Qin Yulian with his cane.
Qin Yulian couldn't take the hit on the waist from the cane and quickly let go and backed away.
"Dad, stop hitting me, it hurts..."
Jiang Xing quickly stepped in to block it, and the cane fell on Jiang Xing.
"Block me? I'll show you what blocking is like!" Old Master Jiang angrily swung his cane and hit Jiang Xing's arm.
Just then, an old voice came from outside the door.
"Old Jiang, your son Jiang Yangxu dared to have my daughter kidnapped and even tried to cut off her fingers. You don't think you can settle things by giving them a few whacks, do you? Our Zhang family will not agree to that!"
As soon as the sound faded, an elderly couple and five middle-aged men strode in.
Jiang Youli looked at the seven people who came in. Although the elderly couple had a full head of white hair, they still looked very energetic and were in much better spirits than Old Master Jiang.
The five middle-aged men following behind them were all tall and robust, with extraordinary bearing, and together they gave off an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Zhang Susu said from the side, "Youli, these are your maternal grandparents and five uncles. This time I don't intend to let your second uncle and aunt off the hook, so I called your maternal grandparents here."
Jiang Youli nodded and hummed in agreement.
Upon seeing the seven people who entered, Jiang Yangxu and Qin Yulian were shocked. Oh no, Zhang Susu's family members had all come!
The Long family's faces weren't much better. They had thought they would see Jiang Youli humiliated and punished today, but the situation had turned out differently!
Grandpa Jiang's face was extremely grim. He put down his cane and replied sternly, "Don't worry, I will not tolerate the mistake my second son made this time!"
As he spoke, his gaze swept over Jiang Yangxu's family. "I've said it before, it's fine if you have any minor squabbles, but you shouldn't touch your own people! Second brother, you've crossed the line this time!"
Seeing her husband's wound reopen and bleed again, Qin Yulian pleaded anxiously, "Dad, Yang Xu sent people to kidnap Sister-in-law because Jiang Youli forced him to. Do you know what Jiang Youli did? She actually poisoned your eldest grandson! It wasn't some small thing, it was poisoning! She clearly wants Xing'er dead! Can we just sit by and wait for Xing'er to die from poisoning?"
Grandpa Jiang was taken aback. He looked at his granddaughter, Jiang Youli, and asked with a mixture of belief and doubt, "Youli, is what your second aunt said true?"
Jiang Youli shook her head and denied it directly: "Grandpa, I did not poison Jiang Xing. My second aunt is slandering me."
