Chapter 1183: Chapter 1182: Thrilling

He just wanted to take a close look at Jiang Yang. Reflecting on it now, his heart was filled with pain and guilt. He had seen Jiang Yang many times before but had never truly observed him. All he remembered was a well-behaved little boy who, he heard, had the same issues as Wei Qin when he was young.

Standing at the door and looking closely, he suddenly realized how foolish he had been in the past.

Jiang Yang, sitting on a small stool with his hands propping up his chin, looked exactly like Wei Qin when he was young. The same eyes, the same movements, the same autism…

No wonder Wei Qin liked Jiang Yang so much without knowing the truth; it was the blood ties!

“Minister Wei, are you…” Huo Beijiang wanted to say, are you out of your mind? Why are you speaking so strangely today? But he was sharply glared at by his uncle and swallowed the rest of his words.

“Really, Minister Wei, it’s not necessary, we haven’t even had dinner yet! Since you’ve eaten, we won’t keep you.” Huo Beijiang said and then pulled Jiang Yang by the hand into the house.

Leaving Wei Fangyi standing there, dumbstruck. Wait, he hadn’t eaten either! He was still starving!

Is this how guests are treated? Couldn’t they at least ask him to stay?

On the road outside the courtyard, Leng Ran, hands on her knees, kept gasping for air. Her heart was hanging high, beating rapidly, almost uncontrollably leaping out of her chest.

When she felt the tightness in her chest ease, she finally straightened up.

This was the first time in her life she had been so close to death, just a hair’s breadth away. She thought it was a simple task, just using Jiang Nanfei’s concern to sneak into the courtyard and get Jiang Yang out, but she had never expected that the usually foolish kid would have a sharpness comparable to a cheetah’s.

“Ha!” Leng Ran couldn’t help but sneer, mocking herself, “I really didn’t see that coming, I must have been blind.” Since she first underestimated Jiang Nanfei, she was quickly proven wrong. And that was just the beginning; what came next was even more unbearable.

She had underestimated Jiang Nanfei, Jiang Zhuanzhuan, and Jiang Yang.

These three siblings were each more difficult to deal with than the last. If it weren’t for another person hiding in the shadows today, she would have lost her life.

She was absolutely certain that once in Huo Beijiang’s hands, she wouldn’t even be given a chance to be detained. She would be executed on the spot, and an investigation afterward would conclude she had brought it upon herself.

Wasn’t that what happened when he killed A Rong?

“Leng Ran.” Shi Cin drove up quickly next to Leng Ran, called her in a low voice.

Leng Ran quickly got into the car, and Shi Cin, not daring to delay, violently stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow. Not only that, but five cars were immediately on either side of them; when encountering any chasing cars, they fearlessly moved to block them. If they couldn’t block, they simply crashed directly into them, resulting in a wreck and fatalities.

As one car accident after another occurred on the highway, Leng Ran finally shook off those chasing her.

Shi Cin said admiringly, “I’m truly impressed; you were lucky to have arranged in advance, allowing for such a smooth escape.” Without the five cars that Leng Ran had arranged to cover them, it definitely wouldn’t have been possible to escape so smoothly.

Leng Ran’s complexion was pale, her body weak as she leaned back in the seat, “You’re wrong, I might have been exposed today.”

“Impossible, right?” Shi Cin said incredulously, “Although we didn’t get the person, everything else went smoothly.”
