    <h4>Chapter 388: 253 Defiant till Death, Wanwan Returns (3 more Chapters)</h4>


    Jiang Family


    Everyone entered the room, and Fan Mingyu invited everyone to sit down. Today was a day of mourning, so everyone dressed in ck, adding to the particrly gloomy atmosphere.


    "That... I just heard Qi Zeyan mention something about a younger sister having an ident, was it Tang Wan?" Jiang Zhaolin waspletely unaware and only realized after asking that his daughter sitting next to him seemed to shake violently.


    "Yes, she was visiting the tomb of the eldest, and she identally slipped down the mountain," the elderlydy said, having just sipped her tea. The steam fogged up her sses, and as she was wiping them, she spoke nonchntly.


    "Slipped down?" Jiang Zhaolin raised an eyebrow, "Is she okay?"


    "Unconscious," the elderlydy answered, putting on her sses and ncing at the father and daughter sitting on the loveseat.


    People with a guilty conscience can interpret a thousand meanings from an unintentional nce from someone else. Jiang Shuyan forced herself to appear calm and turned her head to look at Jiang Zhaolin, "Dad, brother’s ne should havended..."


    "No worries, he’s not a child. He’s already in Beijing, how could he not find his way home?" Today was a special day, and the elderdy’s momentary soft heart meant that past grievances might be forgiven.


    He coughed lightly and looked at the elderlydy, "Unconscious? Injured? How could she slip down the mountain just like that? So careless."


    The mountain path was not very steep; otherwise, the elderlydy at her age wouldn’t have been able to climb it at all.


    Fan Mingyu handed an ice pack to Jiang Chengsi, "Put this on your face; look how swollen it is."


    "Thank you."


    But shepletely ignored Jiang Shuyan, whose cheek was also swollen and bruised.


    "I also find it strange, maybe this child was just too careless," the elderdy murmured, squinting her eyes and sipping her hot tea again.


    "Not awake?" Jiang Zhaolin felt the atmosphere was off. Tang Wan was unconscious, and yet the Jiang family members were still here; why weren’t they worried?


    Jiang Chengsi applied the ice pack to his face; the cold mixed with heat made him inhale sharply, drawing everyone’s attention to him. He just smiled, "If the younger sister wakes up, I’m afraid some people won’t be able to sit still right? Is that right, Jiang Shuyan?"


    The mention of Jiang Shuyan made her shudder, her palms and back drenched in cold sweat.


    "What are you insinuating again with that tone?" Jiang Zhaolin frowned, his eyes filled with fierceness.


    "Why not ask Jiang Shuyan? She went to the airport to pick someone up, but why did she still have her suitcase with her? Did something wrong and nning to flee?"


    "I didn’t!" Jiang Shuyan defensively retorted.


    "If you did nothing wrong, why did you speed up when I chased your car, asking you to stop? What were you afraid of? Actually speeding on the road. If you had really hit someone, caused an ident, I doubt even a hundred deaths could redeem you."


    "If I wasn’t guilty, why would I speed up when I called you? Even if our rtionship is strained, it’s not like I would assault you on the roadside. If I hadn’t driven up and forced your car to stop, you wouldn’t have nned to stop at all!"


    "I didn’t!" Remembering the perilous moment of the car crash, Jiang Shuyan’s nerves tensed up instantly. The feeling of nearly dying was enough to make her lose control whenever she thought of it.


    Jiang Chengsi took out his phone, yed a recording.


    The first sound to hit everyone’s ears was a loud crash, followed by piercing static, assaulting the eardrums, then silence before voices emerged...


    "...Jiang Shuyan, you went to the airport to pick someone up, and you were carrying a suitcase! Tang Wan rolling down the mountain, could it be rted to you..." followed by Qi Zeyan’s voice.


    "Brother, I didn’t mean it, I truly didn’t do it on purpose. I was just muddled for a moment. We are siblings, when big brother left, he told you to take care of me..."


    The recording stopped there as Jiang Chengsi turned off his phone, "Jiang Shuyan, tell me, what do you mean by you didn’t mean it, what’s this sudden confusion you’re talking about? What is all this?"


    "Is Tang Wan’s ident rted to you?"


    "Did you push her down?"


    "Was it you!"


    Jiang Chengsi, already a sinister figure, suddenly became fierce with his relentless questioning. Jiang Shuyan, agitated, jumped up from the sofa and reached to snatch his phone.


    "It wasn’t me, I never saw her, it has nothing to do with me," her face contorted in a ferocious and frenzied expression.


    "True, there are no cameras on the mountain, but there are in the residential area and at the front door of our house. During the time she had her ident, did you go out, how long were you gone, when did you return – those won’t lie!"


    Jiang Shuyan’s pupils dted sharply. She snatched his phone and smashed it on the tiled floor, the screen instantly shattered on impact.
