An Exclusive Love Chapter 425 - Jiang Rui Had Both Hands Cut Off

On the way back, Jiang Rui saw Chen Chen keep silent and fondled her head. “What’s wrong?”

“Do you… Think the person who kidnapped your grandma was Long Zhen’ao?”

“Good girl.” Jiang Rui didn’t answer her questions, and lightly closed his lips. “You have learned to a.n.a.lyze problems now.”

Chen Chen pouted. “I will never talk to you about that!”

“Okay, okay. Just kidding! Say it!”

“Long Zhen’ao knows that I can make medicine, and that I will definitely find that your grandma has taken some medicine. He intentionally gave it away so as to remind us that his challenge is not over yet. As he said before in the email, we will meet again.”

Jiang Rui said in surprise. “Good a.n.a.lysis. Go on!”

“… That’s all.” Chen Chen smiled embarra.s.sedly. “I just said it casually. I hope my words will not affect you.”

“No, you’re right.” Jiang Rui nodded. “I think so.”

Chen Chen looked at him happily. “What should we do now?”

“It depends on your dad!” Jiang Rui said enigmatically.

One month later, just after the first Chinese lunar month was over, there were reports of frequent disappearances of munitions traders. As a result, there was an extremely short supply of various munitions. In Europe and East Africa, the black markets of munitions almost failed. Of course, it happened afterward. But now there were still many unsolved problems.

Two days later, Xiao Si was informed that Lu Tao would personally go to sign a contract with him.

“Boss, do you really want Tuan Zi to go along with me?” At Jiang Rui’s house the night before, Xiao Si looked at the little girl who was eating a lollipop opposite him. “What if there is danger?”

“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi barked at him.

Tuan Zi touched the dog’s head. “Uncle Xiao Si, Hei Zi will protect me!”

Jiang Rui glanced at him. “If Tuan Zi is in danger on my land, don’t see me again.”

“I was muddled just now.” Xiao Si scratched his head. They would sign a contract in the army tomorrow. There would impossibly be danger. Lu Tao would definitely not take action unless Lu Tao didn’t want to live.

“Okay, come to pick up Tuan Zi at noon tomorrow.” Jiang Rui finished his words and drove him away.

Xiao Si stopped at the door and poked out his head. “Hey, can I have lunch here?”

“Get out!” Jiang Rui smiled.

The next day, Xiao Si had mutton dumplings at Jiang Rui’s house, and then returned to the army with Tuan Zi and Hei Zi.

When Lu Tao came with two people and saw a little girl and a dog sitting in the office, he first showed his contempt for them, and then affectedly shook hands with Xiao Si. “h.e.l.lo, I thought Jiang Rui was suspended so that this matter would be put off. It seems that he can be replaced by others.”

He now extremely hated Jiang Rui. That day, Bai Weirong was slapped and went back to the hospital again. Jiang Rui slapped her so hard that Bai Weirong’s left side of frontal bone was broken. She hadn’t recovered from the injury yet.

Because of her injury, Lu Tao was not only scolded by Bai Kai but also slapped by Bai Weirong, who blamed him for failing to protect her at that time.

Lu Tao wished that the woman would be killed by Jiang Rui, but now she was still useful. Otherwise, he would have not deliberately taken Bai Weirong to court death. After finally making Jiang Rui be suspended from duties, now he had to gradually ruin his forces.

At that time, he would ask Bai Weirong to cause trouble. It would be better if Jiang Rui killed her in a rage, so that he could benefit from their fight…

“Mr. Lu, why did you say so?” Xiao Si said with an artificial smile, “I just do what Boss asked me to do.”

“Then please don’t stand on ceremony.” Lu Tao pa.s.sed him the contract. “It’s the list of the military supplies next year, just as usual. The price doesn’t go up. If there is not something wrong, sign your name here. Everything is on the truck outside. You need to send someone to carry the supplies in.”

Xiao Si glanced over the contract. “It’s just the same as last year. I don’t bother to read it.” He signed his name quickly, and stood up. “Come on. Let’s go to the warehouse.”

Seeing Tuan Zi go along with them, Lu Tao asked in surprise, “Will she go with us?”

“Of course, Tuan Zi is not a stranger here. She has been everywhere in our army!”

“Woof! Woof!” Hei Zi barked.

Tuan Zi translated. “Hei Zi said it wanted to go, too!”

“OK.” Xiao Si waved his hand. “Hurry up. Otherwise, we won’t finish moving them in before dark.”

Seeing boxes of military supplies being moved in, Xiao Si could not help secretly asking Tuan Zi, “Do you think there is anything wrong?” He felt very awkward to ask Tuan Zi.

“Yes!” Tuan Zi whispered in his ear, “It’s trash.”

Xiao Si opened his eyes widely. “Can you really feel it?”

“Of course.” Tuan Zi proudly said, “The trash is stinky, with the color like rotting leaves.”

“Do you mean that he provides us with shoddy goods as quality goods?” Xiao Si understood.

Most of these military supplies were military uniforms, quilts, and other daily necessities. The materials inside could not be seen at the first glance. However, as for the chosen materials in the military supplies, there were strict standards which had been clearly stipulated in the contract.

Generally speaking, no one dared to play tricks with the supplies.

“He’s too bold!” Xiao Si looked at Lu Tao standing at the door and shook his head. “No wonder Boss said that he could not let this man go.”

Tuan Zi suddenly pointed her finger at the military supplies being moved in. “Okay, the subsequent supplies are quality goods.”

Xiao Si made an estimation. “Less than half.”

After all supplies were moved in, Xiao Si signed his name again. Lu Tao smiled and held out his hand. “Thank you. It’s been a pleasure!”

“Me too!” Xiao Si curled his lips and saw them off.

Tuan Zi pulled his sleeve. “Let’s go. You can also have dinner at my house.”

Jiang Rui was playing checkers with Chen Chen at home.

“I’m not going to place it here!” Chen Chen picked up the checker who she had just placed. “I… I’m going to put it here!”

“Liuliu, you lost.” Jiang Rui curled the corner of his mouth. “You have regretted your move twelve times in total.”

Chen Chen looked at the checkerboard. “I lost again?”

“It’s the twelfth round. You have never won.” Jiang Rui held twelve pieces of paper in his hand. Every time Chen Che lost, she would say shamelessly that she wouldn’t stick it first and she would win next time. As a result…

Watching Jiang Rui stick the twelve pieces of paper onto her face, Chen Chen said, frustrated, “Can you take them off?”

“Yes.” Jiang Rui looked at her with a crafty look coming to his eyes. “As long as you promise me three things during our vacation, I’ll take them off.”

Chen Chen blinked and asked, “What kind of things?”

“I’ll tell you then. Just tell me your answer!” Jiang Rui pointed his finger at his watch. “Hurry up and make a decision. Tuan Zi and Xiao Si will be back soon.”

“I promise!” Chen Chen shouted again. “But you must not tell Tuan Zi that I lost to you.”

Jiang Rui smiled and took off the pieces of paper on her face. “Okay, how about I tell her that I lost to you?”

“It sounds OK!” Chen Chen smiled smugly, and then heard Hei Zi’s bark outside the door. She hurried to the bathroom. “I’ll wash my face.”

Jiang Rui went to open the door, and Tuan Zi threw herself into his arms. “Daddy, it’s the same as what you told me!”

“Come in and have dinner first.”

Xiao Si flatteringly followed in. “What’s for dinner?”

They would have hotpot in the evening. Chen Chen was afraid of cold. So in winter, she liked to eat hot food, like hotpot.

“Boss, it turns out that you’ve planned it early. I would not have worried about it if I had known your plan. Did you also know early about the trap for Bear?” Xiao Si asked with his mouth being greasy.

Jiang Rui picked up a few pieces of lamb for Chen Chen and Tuan Zi. “The only thing I got wrong was their trap for Bear.”

He had originally thought that Lu Tao would frame Scar first. Among his three major followers, Scar had the strongest comprehensive ability. Bear was good at fighting, but was always only responsible for executing his orders. Xiao Si was smart, with the barely satisfactory force.

“I forgot to consider other factors.” Jiang Rui said fiercely, “I did not expect that he would use Zhou Yiyun. Or, I did not expect that he could even kill the person from the Lu family.”

He had caused his father to lie in the hospital in a vegetative state. However, Lu Yu was the son of the third master of the Lu family. Once the truth was revealed, the Lu family absolutely could not tolerate him.

Xiao Si threw a quail egg into his mouth. “It was really him who did it. At first, I thought it was Lu Yu’s personal enemy. I heard that guy offended many people.”

“So I feel that Lu Tao is clever. The reason why he killed Lu Yu and blamed his death on Bear is that even if Bear is acquitted one day, Lu Yu’s death can also be placed upon his enemies. Anyway, it has nothing to do with Lu Tao.”

“Tut-tut.” Xiao Si shook his head. “This guy really wastes his talent if he doesn’t become a terrorist.”

Jiang Rui looked at Chen Chen’s bowl. “Don’t eat meat only.”

“Okay.” Chen Chen made a face at him and picked up a piece of tofu.

“Pay attention to the bank. Someone would open an account for you these days.”

Xiao Si chuckled. “Who is so nice to give me money?”

But less than two days later, he failed to laugh.

“Excuse me, please come with us.” Bai Ziqi looked at Xiao Si helplessly, while Scar stared fiercely at him. “Come on! Hurry to go! Don’t interfere with my work.”

He felt unfair. Since Jiang Rui pretended to be suspended from his job and then Bear was arrested, he was so busy with so many affairs every day. What was worse, Xiao Si was also going to be taken away. Thus, he had to finish the work of four people by himself.

“d.a.m.n it, why not frame me? I also want to be arrested and enjoy some leisure time!”

Xiao Si waved at him and followed Bai Ziqi away.

When Captain Gu saw that it was Xiao Si, he seriously asked Bai Ziqi to step out first. After he left, he laughed and gloated. “I bet with Bear on the next person to be arrested. I said it was you while he said it was Scar. Haha! I’m the winner.”

“What’s your stake?” Xiao Si rolled his eyes and asked. Captain Gu said proudly, “He has a limited edition Gundam model!”

“Bah…”

Captain Gu coughed. “Be serious. Now I’m going to record out talking.”

“Can I talk to another person?” Xiao Si sat down and asked.

“Why?”

“Because I want to laugh when I see you.”

When Bai Ziqi came in, he saw the black circles around Xiao Si’s eyes. He frowned and asked, “Captain, did you hit him?”

“Did you see me hit him?” Captain Gu looked like a rogue. “He fell down. If you don’t believe, you can ask him.”

Xiao Si looked up at the ceiling. “Yeah, yeah. I fell down and caused my injuries. I was so talented to cause such injuries!”

On seeing the situation, Bai Ziqi still wanted to say something else. Captain Gu glared at him. “Okay, you’re going to interrogate him, instead of me. Hurry up. I’ll go out first.” After finishing his words, he slammed the door and ran away.

“You can rest a.s.sured that I will enforce the law impartially.” Bai Ziqi sat opposite Xiao Si. “Do you know why you were brought in?”

Xiao Si shook his head and actively answered, “I know. Because you dislike my boss, so you also dislike me.”

Bai Ziqi was speechless. “…”
