Chapter 102: Jiang Family Rule, Wear White Silk When You See Me!
“I want to apply for a lawyer’s defense.” Ye Tian called out to the policeman who was about to leave.
The policeman frowned but didn’t say much and handed his phone to Ye Tian.
Ye Tian quickly dialed Lin Canghai’s number, and the call was soon connected. Lin Canghai’s voice came from the other end. “Hello?”
Ye Tian quickly explained the whole situation to Lin Canghai.
“You hit Jiang Che’s people? Jiang Che is the young master of the Jiang family. Hitting his people… this matter is a bit difficult.” Lin Canghai sighed. “I’ll go and negotiate with Jiang Che. If he agrees to a settlement, it’s good. If not, you might have to stay there for a while.”
…………
Jiang Che, holding the medical report, along with Ah Long and a lawyer from the Jiang family, arrived at the detention center.
“Officer, this is the medical report of my brother. He has been crippled by Ye Tian. I demand strict legal punishment for him!” Jiang Che pushed the medical report in front of the police officer with righteous indignation.
“Just wait, I’ll call our captain over.” The police officer looked at Jiang Che’s report and said, as this was beyond his authority and needed the captain’s decision.
Soon, the middle-aged man with a square face came to Jiang Che. “Good day, sir.”
“Hello.”
“We will handle this matter properly at the detention center and will surely provide justice for you, don’t worry.” The square-faced policeman reassured, his stern appearance adding credibility.
“Good, I trust you and the laws of Jiuzhou.” Jiang Che handed over the medical report and let the lawyer stay to handle the follow-up matters, while he left with Ah Long.
As long as he insisted on his version, Ye Tian wouldn’t be able to get out in less than ten days or half a month.
…………
As soon as Jiang Che returned to Crouching Dragon Villa, he saw a familiar figure in the garden.
“Are you… Jiang Yun’er?” He was puzzled by the sight of the little Lolita with white hair, dressed in Lolita fashion and wrapped in white silk stockings. When did she dye her hair?
“Hee hee, Xiao Che Brother, you’re back~” Seeing Jiang Che, Jiang Yun’er’s eyes lit up, and she pounced into his arms, nuzzling her little head against his chest, murmuring unclearly.
Jiang Che passively held Jiang Yun’er, otherwise, the little girl would have fallen out of his arms. “What’s this about…” Jiang Che looked at Jiang Yun’er strangely, wondering why the little girl had suddenly become so proactive.
“Brother, I’ve missed you so much while you were away~” Jiang Yun’er did not answer Jiang Che’s question, but instead spoke softly and sweetly, lifting her face to kiss Jiang Che’s cheek, her eyes filled with adoration.
“What are you doing! I’m your brother-in-law, not your brother!” Jiang Che put Jiang Yun’er down and spoke righteously. He also signaled Ah Long with his eyes, who understood immediately and left.
“Hee hee, I know~ You’re my brother-in-law, but also my brother~” Jiang Yun’er playfully smiled, wanting to pounce into Jiang Che’s arms again.
“What do you really want?” Jiang Che held Jiang Yun’er’s little head, somewhat puzzled.
During his last visit to the Jiang family, the little girl had suddenly kissed him out of the blue. Could it be that she was captivated by his charm?
“I don’t really want anything… I just want to be your little wife, brother~”
“No fever, huh…” Jiang Che placed his hand on the little girl’s forehead for a while and found she had no fever, which made him even more puzzled.
“Humph, I’m not feverish, I’m serious!” Jiang Yun’er stood with her hands on her hips, speaking earnestly.
“Why do you want to be my little wife? Aren’t you afraid Qingqiu will find out?”
“Because I like you, brother~ I’m not afraid. Brother will surely protect me! From now on, I belong to you, brother. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west.”
“This is what you said yourself, I hope you won’t regret it.” Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, saying this little girl had delivered herself to his doorstep.
“Of course, I won’t regret it. Have you agreed, brother?” Jiang Yun’er’s face lit up with joy upon hearing Jiang Che’s words.
They say it’s easy for a woman to chase a man. She didn’t expect to win over her brother so easily. She had no idea that in Jiang Che’s eyes, her actions were completely free of charge!
“I agree, but you have to listen to me. I have my rules.”
“Of course, brother, whatever you say is fine~” Jiang Yun’er smiled enchantingly, her white cheeks blushing.
“The first rule of the Jiang family: from now on, you must wear white silk whenever you see me.”
Jiang Che said, raising an eyebrow.
“Ah, this…” Jiang Yun’er was taken aback, not expecting such a request from Jiang Che.
“Of course, no problem.” Jiang Yun’er said cheerfully, as she already liked this style of dress, and since Jiang Che also liked it, it was perfect.
“That’s it for now. I haven’t thought of the rest. You can go now.”
“I don’t want to. I want to stay with my brother. I’m going to live here with my brother from now on!”
“That’s not possible for now; it would be bad for both of our reputations if word got out. Plus, your father would never agree to it. You should go home for now. Come find me when you miss me.”
“Alright~_~”
With a mix of coaxing and deceiving, Jiang Che finally managed to send Jiang Yun’er away. Of course, he wanted her to stay with him, but it wasn’t feasible at the moment.
Gossip can be harmful; Jiang Che didn’t care much, but it was different for Jiang Yun’er, as women often care about their reputation.
After sending Jiang Yun’er away, Jiang Che went back to the living room. Ah Qing was cleaning there, and Jiang Che gestured for her to come over.
“Young master, do you need something?” Ah Qing approached Jiang Che, a bit puzzled.
“I’ve been inquiring about your brother’s whereabouts these past few days, and I have some news.” Jiang Che said thoughtfully, planning to tell Ah Qing the truth to give her some time to adjust.
“You’ve found news about my brother? Where is he now? How is he?” Ah Qing asked excitedly, her speech slightly incoherent.
Although she claimed not to care, deep down, she was concerned about her brother, the only family she had in this world.
She didn’t expect Jiang Che to take the initiative to find out about her brother, which warmed her heart and strengthened her resolve to stay by his side for life.
“According to the information I gathered, your brother… he died last year.”
“What? Dead!” Ah Qing was stunned, then her face turned pale, and her eyes filled with disbelief. How could he just die like that?
“Your brother went abroad six years ago to become a mercenary. He sacrificed his life during a mission to protect a comrade.” Jiang Che continued, both to prepare Ah Qing and to leave Ye Tian with nothing to say when he confronted her.
After all, Ah Qing’s brother had died trying to save Ye Tian, leaving Ye Tian no room to argue. Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Ah Qing felt her world darken in an instant.
Unable to hold back her tears, she burst into Jiang Che’s arms and cried loudly.
Jiang Che held Ah Qing quietly, not comforting her with words, knowing she needed to vent her emotions.
…………
Inside the detention center, the lawyer sent by Lin Canghai was having a heated discussion with Jiang Che’s lawyer.
In the end, Jiang Che’s lawyer had the upper hand, refusing to settle privately, leaving Ye Tian no choice but to wait it out. Watching the other lawyer leave, Lin Canghai’s lawyer bit his teeth in frustration, not expecting Jiang Che to be so unyielding.
Reluctantly, he called Lin Canghai to report the situation. After being scolded by Lin Canghai, he left dejectedly, planning to study the Jiuzhou’s law more carefully for future cases.
Learning of the situation, Ye Tian’s face turned utterly dark with rage. Damn it, he, the leader of the Sky Wolf Mercenary Group, ended up in jail on his first day back in the country?
He realized that Jiang Che was deliberately targeting him, seemingly not resting until he was dead. Left with no choice, Ye Tian made several calls, using up many favors. He didn’t want to spend ten days or half a month in there.
After utilizing several connections, Ye Tian’s detention period was reduced from two weeks to three days, which greatly relieved him.
