Chapter 556: The Ghost Entering the House
Chapter 556: The Ghost Entering the House
There was a mobile phone holder hanging on the cool center console. Jiang Huashan controlled the steering wheel with one hand and tapped the screen with his fingertips. The picture was frozen on a strange scene with Jiang Wanyi smiling.
As expected, all of them are ghosts.
In fact, Jiang Huashan was not surprised by Jiang Wanyi's betrayal.
After experiencing the previous play, she knew better than anyone that Jiang Wanyi was a poisonous snake. This poisonous snake was best at disguising itself and lying dormant. As long as she was given the slightest chance, she would strike back with the venom hidden in her fangs.
Fortunately, Shen Guiling had kept a trick up her sleeve. Otherwise, even if she knew Jiang Wanyi's toxicity, she would have had to take a gamble for Shen Jiao.
Jiang Huashan withdrew his gaze, looked at the scenery that flashed before his eyes expressionlessly, and began to review the whole thing in his mind.
She was just wondering why Jiang Wanyi could still be contacted since the plot had already reached an irresistible point. Now everything made sense, because Jiang Wanyi's plot was a distraction, a deliberate bait thrown by the show.
Success and failure are both due to foresight. Just because she knows some key plots, it is easy for her to have preconceived ideas. For example, she already knows that Fang Mei is a ghost, so she subconsciously ties Fang Mei and Shen Jiao together.
Now that I think about it, even if Fang Mei has Shen Jiao's jade bracelet, it doesn't mean that she is the murderer. Perhaps Fang Mei is just involved with the person who killed Shen Jiao.
But who wants to kill Shen Jiao?
Shen Qian? Shen Yuan? Shen Che? Or perhaps some unknown character?
As time was running out, Jiang Huashan's palms were covered in cold sweat, and her hands holding the steering wheel began to tremble.
The reason she was able to save Fu Suier and the others before was because she knew how to erase time, so the rhythm would not be disrupted.
But now she had no clues, and no one in the Shen family could get through to her. She was even a little scared, wondering if what was supposed to happen had already happened.
With no direction and no way out, she could only take a gamble.
Jiang Huashan turned the car around and drove directly to Shen Jiao's Weiyangtai. In her previous life, Shen Jiao died in a villa in Weiyangtai.
There are still eight hours left before the death of the previous life, which is enough time for her to rush over.
Turning into the city, the car was forced to slow down. The appearance of Shen Qingyu's car was extremely similar to Zhou Yanheng's, and it attracted people's attention along the way.
Because the heat of the South Bay drag racing case had not yet subsided, the protesters saw vehicles similar to those involved in the South Bay accident and suddenly rose up and rushed forward with excited expressions.
In the blink of an eye, people poured into the lanes and the entire traffic was paralyzed.
Jiang Huashan was stunned. She seemed to see thousands of puppet strings falling from the sky, one end tied to the clouds and the other end controlling the people in front of her.
At this moment, she felt the unstoppable fate, and she hated the feeling at this moment so much.
Should I hide in the car like a turtle, or rush out and fight against the whole world?
She soon had the answer.

Weiyang Tower.
Shen Jiao was talking to Shen Rang on the phone with a cup of scented tea in her hand.
Shen Rang told her that after arriving in Xiangying, the old man did not wait a moment and invited relatives from other branches of the Shen family to the ancestral temple. In front of all the elders and fellow villagers, he used family rules to beat Shen Che with a full two hundred lashes.
Shen Jiao just listened quietly from beginning to end without asking a single question.
"Ah Jiao, I know you feel wronged, but Fourth Brother has already admitted his fault. Can you please, for the sake of mother, not bother with him? Two hundred lashes, in front of the whole neighborhood. He's such a strong-willed person, this is more painful than killing him."
Shen Jiao lowered her head and took a sip of tea, her tone light, "He only lost his dignity, but my daughter almost lost her life, it was a blessing for him."
Shen Rang could see that she was determined to break up, and he felt a little reluctant. "Ah Jiao, are the three of us really going to this point? Is there really no turning back?"
Shen Jiao, "Didn't the old man already give the answer?"
After being whipped in public, the next step is to remove him from the family tree. The old man doesn't want this son anymore. How desperate must she be to recognize this brother?
Shen Rang was about to try to persuade her, but Shen Jiao interrupted him, "Stop trying. If you don't make a decision, you'll suffer the consequences. Fifth brother, I'm also trying to advise you: don't save those with rotten hearts. Otherwise, you don't know how many people you'll hurt with this 'kindness'."
After saying that, she looked at the time and hung up the phone.
"Ding-dong-"
Just then, the doorbell rang inside.
Shen Jiao put down the teacup and walked to the door to open it herself.
"You guys are here?"
Two young men with similar appearances were standing outside the door. When they saw Shen Jiao, they immediately bowed their heads and said, "Aunt."
Shen Jiao's expression eased slightly, and she took the initiative to make way for him, "Come in."
The three of them filed in. Shen Jiao led them into the side hall and offered them some hot tea. Her attitude was quite gentle. "I rushed you back in such a short time. You must be exhausted, right?"
The two brothers looked at each other, and Shen Yize spoke first, "Aunt, is everything you said on the phone true? Did Father really plant spies around Grandpa? And did he even try to murder Shanshan?"
Shen Jiao nodded, her expression solemn. "Why would I tell you this if I didn't have solid evidence? I came here today to ask you. Your father has caused such a disaster, and the Shen family will definitely not tolerate him. I want to know what your attitude is."
Shen Yijie frowned, "Of course we will stand with the Shen family! If he is really that foolish, I would rather not have him as my father."
"Ajie!" Compared to Shen Yijie, Shen Yize was much calmer, his face full of guilt. "Aunt, please give us some time. I will persuade Dad to go find Grandpa and turn himself in."
Shen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. "I was right about you. Your father has already confessed to the old man and is currently in Xiangying. Given the old man's personality, there's probably no way out."
After all, he was their biological father. Upon hearing what had happened to Shen Che, both of them became very depressed.
Shen Jiao could understand this kind of human nature and sighed softly, "Don't blame your aunt for being cruel. Your father is really hopeless." As she spoke, she took out a stack of documents from the drawer of the desk.
"What is this?" Shen Yijie took it with both hands, his face paled as he glanced at it. "Poison refining?"
Shen Yize's expression changed slightly. He snatched the information and quickly flipped through a few pages with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Shen Jiao, "When I found out, I also found it incredible. How could he become like this? How could he do such a heinous thing?"
This is also the reason why she forced Shen Che to surrender or commit suicide. This kind of thing would be a huge bombshell to the Shen family. If someone were to catch them one day, the Shen family's century-long reputation would be ruined.
Shen Yize put down the information, his expression bleak. "Father said you were cruel, but he didn't know you left him a way out. If this information gets into Grandpa's hands, not only Father, but also Ajie and I will be in danger."
"How could that be? Your father is your father. You are..."
Suddenly, Shen Jiao reacted and looked at the twins in front of her with surprise.
Shen Yijie tilted his head and smiled, "Auntie, have a safe trip."
