Chapter 438 Investigation!
After Jiang Tao put down the phone, he held the phone so hard that his veins were about to pop out. His expression was serious, with pain and disappointment. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his sharp eyes shone with determination and desire.
In the past, he was like a puppet. He could not have his own thoughts and feelings. He was very obedient. Even so, his puppeteer was still worried. He wanted to cut off everything around the puppet so that the puppet would be obedient to the master alone.
‘Grandpa, you shouldn’t have done this. In that case, you can’t blame me for seizing the power of the Jiang Family.
‘You’ve forced my hand. I have someone to protect now. I will not allow anyone, not even grandpa, to harm her.’
Jiang Tao suppressed the feelings in his heart. He had to see her find her happiness. To do that, he had to be strong.
Since Jiang Tao had made that decision, he had to move. Even if he missed this place, he no longer had the right to stay. That day, he moved back to the capital and left Xing Yin County.
He didn’t say goodbye to Xiao Lingyu. He felt that he did not have the face to see her.
Because of him, he almost brought her a total disaster.
Xiao Lingyu had no idea she had caused such a huge commotion. She also didn’t know Jiang Tao had left in a hurry because of it. No one told her that she just narrowly escaped danger again. Gong Tianhao had shielded her.
Xiao Lingyu went up the mountains again.
Since the source of the wilting was discovered early, there were no severe consequences. Previously, almost half of the trees were infected. Now, the leaves had turned back to green. In just a few days, these saplings had all recovered their vitality.
“Yu ‘Er, these saplings have healed.” Gong Tianhao, who didn’t know anything about farming, was impressed.
“Thankfully, the halophiles were discovered early and measures were taken in time.” Xiao Lingyu explained to Gong Tianhao, and then she let out a soft sigh, “I am really thankful. Otherwise, the peanuts and soybeans in these few hundred mu of land might have been wasted.”
Gong Tianhao smiled and asked, “Are the worms that dangerous?” “Yes,” Xiao Lingyu said, “It’s about time for the peanuts’ blooming season. If the halophiles stayed, the blooms would wither very fast. Then, the peanuts won’t grow. It’s the same for the soybeans.”
“I didn’t think a small worm can have such destructive power.” Gong Tianhao couldn’t help but exclaim.
Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said, “A single person can’t topple a state but what if it’s a large group? It’s the same thing. One or two halophiles is fine, but a large group of them can destroy a whole large farm.”
“Yu ‘Er, you’ve been here for a long time already. It’s such a hot day. You and Tianhao should go back first.” Mother Xiao walked over with a straw hat and said, “Anyway, other than watching, there’s nothing else you can do anyway.” “…” The corner of Xiao Lingyu’s mouth twitched. Only her biological mother would be so direct with her.
Gong Tianhao nodded in agreement and said, “Yu ‘Er, you really can’t be of much help now. Let’s go back first.”
These people made her feel like such an invalid.
One or two people made her sound like she only knew how to eat.
However, Xiao Lingyu touched her big belly and realized she was indeed no different from an invalid.
Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao went down the mountain.
When they reached home, Xiao Lingyu felt a little tired.
After Gong Tianhao sent Xiao Lingyu back to rest, he returned to the Gong family.
Gong Tianhao was very concerned about the origin of Old Master Jiang’s news. This represented a hidden danger for Yu ‘Er.
This person had to fulfill three properties.
First, they had to be close to Old Master Jiang to get the news to him.
Second, they had to know about Xiao Lingyu’s existence and purposely bring her up in front of Old Master Jiang. But why? To eliminate Xiao Lingyu.
Third, the goal was someone who understood Old Master Jiang and wanted to use his hands to deal with Xiao Lingyu.
Therefore, this mastermind was the real culprit and Gong Tianhao had to find them out.
With his analysis, the person was most likely a woman. And this woman was probably related to Jiang Tao. In her eyes, Xiao Lingyu was her love rival. It was a good plan to use Old Master Jiang’s hands to remove Xiao Lingyu.
However, this person didn’t expect Xiao Lingyu was Gong Tianhao’s lover. In fact, Old Master Jiang didn’t expect that too.
Old Master Gong told Old Master Jiang that his family’s assassins had been captured. They would not return. That was a warning.
The warning would make Old Master Jiang feel humiliated.
That humiliation would turn into anger. And there was only a person whom he could unleash that anger on…
