Turnaround Life: The Rebirth Elegy of the Wealthy Wife

Chapter 164 Jiang Haotian Takes Action

Looking at the sunlight seeping in through the window, Zhu Xin decided to go out for some fresh air today. The days of taking care of the old man in the nursing home made her feel like she had degenerated into old age.

"I'm going to be out for a while today. The nurse will come and take you to the hyperbaric oxygen chamber. I've arranged everything."

Because the old man has been living in the intensive care unit for a long time, the daily necessities have been piling up more and more. Zhu Xin put the flowers in the vase while giving instructions to Zhu Huaishan. Although his tone was not very friendly, his attitude was quite proper.

"Come back before I leave the cabin. What's so good about hanging around outside? Your most important task now is to keep an eye on me!"

The old man was sitting in front of the window in his home clothes, fiddling with tea sets. He felt very unbalanced that his granddaughter could come and go at will. Before Jiang Kaichen left, he told him not to leave the nursing home at will for the time being, and he didn't give a reason, which made him very depressed.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound and without any reply, Zhu Xin slammed the door and left.

It is very tragic that the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is forced by Jiang Kaichen. The two people who don't like each other feel like they are each other's cages when they stay together every day.

It was not until he walked out of the nursing home and looked up at the dazzling blue sky and white clouds that Zhu Xin breathed a long sigh of relief.

It was too depressing. She was only in her early twenties, and taking care of the old man who was about to die every day made her feel that her life was completely meaningless.

She jumped into a car parked beside her, a desire to escape arose in her mind. She leaned tiredly on the back seat, closed her eyes and thought, let's go, it doesn't matter where to go!

Zhu Xin didn't want to talk. The car kept driving until there were fewer and fewer tall buildings outside the window. Then Zhu Xin remembered that the driver didn't seem to ask her where she was going.

"Where are you going?!"

Straightening up alertly, Zhu Xin nervously looked at the fields passing by faster and faster outside the window, then looked at the driver in the front row who was trying hard to control his trembling and asked.

"Miss Zhu, someone wants to see you!"

The man driving the car then looked at her in the back seat through the rearview mirror and answered with a sneer on his face, bluntly expressing his contempt for her belated realization.

"Who are you? Where is this?!"

Zhu Xin felt the hairs on her body stand up. Her first reaction was that Jiang Kaichen had attacked her. Ever since she learned about the deaths of Zhang Xincheng and Zhang Lingyue, she had been worried that she would be the next one.

The driver ignored her and the car kept speeding up, so fast that she could hardly see out the window clearly.

When Zhu Xin finally reached for his cell phone and wanted to call the police, the car stopped.

"There's no signal here, so don't bother with those useless things."

The driver opened the car door, snatched the phone from her hand, threw it on the ground and crushed it. Before Zhu Xin could even scream, a black hood was put on her head.

~~~~~

"Miss Zhu, thank you for your hard work in taking care of Old Master Zhu!"

As the hood was taken off, a somewhat eerie voice was heard.

Zhu Xin adjusted to the light and saw that this was a very empty warehouse. Sitting opposite him was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as his father.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Zhu Xin was thrown on the stained ground, looking at the man in the shadow opposite him like a terrified little animal.

"You are Jiang Kaichen's cousin, right?"

The man did not answer her question, but continued with another question patiently, as if he knew her family situation very well.

They are not Jiang Kaichen's people! A thought flashed through Zhu Xin's mind like lightning.

She didn't dare to say another word. She just bit her lip and looked at the other person, thinking about her current situation.

"Where is Jiang Kaichen?"

Jiang Haotian looked for a long time without getting a response, knowing that the other party was obviously on guard. He completely lost the patience to ask nicely, so he stood up and walked towards Zhu Xin step by step, asking with a gloomy face.

Zhu Xin's pupils constricted, and she realized that she had met Jiang Kaichen's enemy. After weighing the pros and cons in her head, she suddenly realized with frustration that she really didn't know where Jiang Kaichen was!

Only then did she remember that she had not seen Jiang Kaichen since he got married.

"I, I don't know~ How should I know where he is?!"

Jiang Haotian had already walked in front of her. She was so scared that she fell back and sat down on the ground. She raised her head and defended herself. The fear and confusion in her eyes did not seem to be fake.

"you do not know?!"

Jiang Haotian finally stopped his pace, nodded, lowered his eyes and agreed thoughtfully, as if he believed it, but also seemed not to believe it.

"So when and where was the last time you saw him?"

He took a step back, stroked his chin, was silent for a while, then stared at the direction with burning eyes.

Zhu Xin opened her mouth when he asked her and almost said it was at the wedding.

But when the words came to her lips, the news of Zhang Lingyue's death suddenly came to her mind again.

Zhang Lingyue died after attending Jiang Kaichen's wedding. Although she had an argument with the flower girl that day, the news of what happened has been blocked.

After the wedding, Jiang Kaichen specifically told himself and the old man that his marriage to Tang Wenwan should be kept secret for the time being. His serious expression at the time even made Zhu Xin suspect that Zhang Lingyue’s death was related to the leak.

"In the hospital, about four months ago, in grandpa's ward."

She dodged in panic for a second, and quickly changed the words on her lips. She looked back at Jiang Haotian tremblingly, fearing that he would be suspicious.

"Four months ago?"

Jiang Haotian frowned. Did he return to South City during the period when he lost track of her in Japan? He raised his eyebrows and thought about it. He took a step forward and stepped on Zhu Xin's palm.

Zhu Xin's hesitation for a second ultimately did not help him, the old fox. He rubbed the soles of his feet with a ferocious look, and the sound of his hand bones breaking could even be heard in the empty space.

"what!"

Zhu Xin was about to faint from the pain. She looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"Then how did he contact you during this period?"

Jiang Haotian withdrew his foot as if nothing had happened, put on a kind face and asked with his head down.

"No~I haven't contacted you!"

Zhu Xin finally pulled back her broken hand and answered with her whole body convulsing. This time she really didn't lie. Jiang Kaichen seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, and even Wang Feng had no news.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Jiang Haotian turned around and slapped the man who had been standing next to him.

"Is this your solution? What's the point of bringing me something I know nothing about?"

He was really angry, and there were red veins under his eyes.

"Old Master Zhu must know where he is. Mr. Jiang, let's ask this girl to take us to the nursing home so that we can see the old guy."

The person who was beaten was very aggrieved. Originally, they had caught this girl because they wanted to use her to sneak into the nursing home, but who knew that Lao Jiang never played by the rules. He took his anger out on himself without even asking any questions.
