Chapter 11: Chapter 11 She Smiled, He Panicked
Financial Building.
After a meeting, Shang Shaojing pinched the bridge of his nose, tired, and then called his assistant over.
"How is it going with the Jiang Family?"
The assistant looked troubled and hesitated before speaking,
"President Shang, everything was going smoothly, and the Qiao Family was cooperating well, but somehow, just now, we lost contact with Qin Xiaoxiao, and then..."
He hesitantly recounted the whole process of how the Jiang Family had dealt with and driven away the Qiao Family and ultimately won over their reputation.
As expected, Shang Shaojing's face gradually turned colder.
That Jiang Li could actually pull off such a feat?
Impossible, there must be someone behind her pulling the strings!
Shang Shaojing furrowed his brows, his face seething with anger, "How do you handle things? How could we suddenly lose contact with the key figure, Qin Xiaoxiao?!"
"I, I had someone call her cell phone, but the person who answered... was a police officer."

After Jiang Li left, Qin Xiaoxiao hastily dressed and ran out of the hotel.
Although she hadn't succeeded, in her desperation, she still managed to take quite a few intimate photos with Jiang Yan, which could still be useful.
Even if she couldn't become the Young Madam of Jiang Family, she wouldn't let that bastard Qiao Shuang have the last laugh!
However, just as she turned into an alley and took out her phone to send those photos, suddenly a figure rushed up and snatched her phone without a word.
Qin Xiaoxiao instantly became frightened and angry, looking up to glare at the strange man who appeared out of nowhere.
"Ah! Who are you, robbing me in broad daylight?!"
The rushing Xiang Hao held the phone high, then glanced at the scandalous photos on the screen.
"So you want to use this to scheme against my boss's brother? No way!"
Not long ago, Jiang Li had contacted him, asking him to help investigate someone and then go to the hotel she mentioned to keep an eye on a woman named Qin Xiaoxiao.
That was fine, but she also immediately transferred him ten thousand yuan.
What a joke, he, Xiang Hao, had always revered Sister Li above all, since when did he become someone who did things just for money?
Angered, he drove here immediately, intending to teach this foolish woman a lesson for offending his boss.
Thank goodness he arrived in time, almost letting this wicked woman succeed!
Qin Xiaoxiao was terrified, having barely dealt with Jiang Li, only for someone claiming to be her subordinate to show up.
When did she become so omnipresent?!
"What do you mean by scheming? Just give me back my phone, or I'll scream for help and call the police!" Qin Xiaoxiao stomped her feet in anger.
However, Xiang Hao just laughed, "Call the police? No need for that, I've already brought them here."
Then he stepped aside from the entrance of the alley and pointed inside at Qin Xiaoxiao, saying, "Officer, I report that this woman tried to use illegal means to extort someone!"
Watching the police enter one by one, Qin Xiaoxiao was completely dumbfounded.
That bitch Jiang Li actually called the police?!
No, this can't be happening, she couldn't go to the police station, she hadn't succeeded in her plans yet!
"Officer, please listen to me explain, it's not like this, it was Jiang Yan who first—"
However, the police were not interested in her excuses; after seeing the content on the phone Xiang Hao handed over, they approached her sternly.
"Miss Qin, please accompany us to the police station to explain this matter."
Watching Qin Xiaoxiao being led away by the police, Xiang Hao instantly straightened his back.
Previously, he was always nervous that the police might come to catch him.
Calling the police to arrest someone for the first time,
I must say, Sister Li is awesome for being proactive! I definitely followed the right person!
After getting into the car, he dialed Jiang Li's number.
"Hello, sis, Qin Xiaoxiao has been taken away by the police, and now I'm also going to the police station to make a statement."
"You did well," Jiang Li wasn't stingy with her praise, "Just follow what the policemen tell you to do next."
Xiang Hao was quite pleased with himself.
It wasn't that he hadn't done things for Jiang Li before, but today it was the first time he felt so happy about it.
No need to worry about being bitten back, no need to worry about anything bad happening next.
So, was this the pleasure of doing good deeds?
Then he somewhat understood why Sister Li had suddenly changed so much.
"What about you?" Xiang Hao asked, "Aren't you coming over?"
"Me?" Jiang Li glanced at the people busily packing things in the front hall, her eyes filled with a meaningful expression, "I haven't finished everything here yet. Just do as I told you for Qin Xiaoxiao's matter, everything will be fine. I believe in you."
Xiang Hao, praised into confusion, slapped his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Li, leave it to me!"
Just as Jiang Li hung up the phone, Lin Manru came over with a cup of hot milk.
"Lili, drink this first to warm your stomach; we'll go out to dine after."
Jiang Yan, standing nearby, immediately frowned in dissatisfaction.
"I haven't eaten all day either, why don't I get any milk?"
Lin Manru got annoyed upon seeing him.
"You still have the nerve to say that? Disappearing for over half a month without any contact, are you only happy if your bank card is completely frozen?"
"Your sister has been busy handling your marriage crisis, and you can't even say thank you; you still want milk? Forget about milk, you don't even get dinner. Go back to your room and reflect!"
Jiang Yan: "???"
"Forget it, Mom." Jiang Li, after finishing her milk, grabbed her mother's hand, "Don't make Jiang Yan go back to his room to reflect—"
Jiang Yan scoffed, "Don't think that just because you're speaking in my favor now that I'll be nice to you."
Jiang Li glanced at him and continued, "Let him sit beside us and watch us eat."
Jiang Yan: "???"
Jiang Li, what the hell are you playing at?
Laughing and chatting, everyone walked to the dining room, except Jiang Yan, who trailed behind with a sour face.
The servants gradually served delicious dishes, with Lin Manru eagerly putting food into Jiang Li's bowl.
"Lili, you haven't been back in a long time, eat more today, you've lost so much weight."
Jiang Yan tapped his chopsticks in dissatisfaction, "I haven't been back for over half a month either, why is there only water in my bowl?!"
Lin Manru's face changed immediately, "You should be glad to get water, what else do you want? Wasn't it you who didn't want to come back?"
Just as Jiang Yan was about to retort, he caught Jiang Li suddenly smiling across the table.
He suddenly shut his mouth.
The last time Jiang Li smiled like that his arm almost got ruined.
The time before that, he was laughed at by an entire bus of people.
The last time, he ended up owing 4 million and two yuan.
What mischief was she plotting this time?
However, Jiang Li wasn't aiming at him; she just pushed her empty cup forward,
"I mentioned water and now I'm also thirsty, Mrs. Qin, could you pour me a cup of tea as well?"
