Chapter 1602: Chapter 1602: That Doesn’t Sound Right

After Second uncle Lu heard that, he started cursing on the phone. It was obvious that he was furious with Pan Peng.

However, Jiang Yao frowned. “That did not sound right.”

Jiang Yao said, “Since Pan Peng has investigated Second Uncle, he should know that Second Uncle has a daughter and an elder brother and sister-in-law. Even if his ability is limited and he can’t investigate his influence in the army, if something happens to Second Uncle, then everything belongs to Xiaoxiao. That Pan Peng won’t be able to get that piece of land.”

“Maybe he thinks that Xiaoxiao is easy to bully?”

Second Uncle Lu did not think that it was a strange situation.

“He sent two lobsters this time. Maybe he knows that your second uncle and I have a good relationship. When your second uncle has something good, he will think of his brother, so he sent two of them to poison us to death. If that’s the case, we’ll be dead, and Xiaoxiao will be the only one left. He can compel her easily then.” Mrs. Lu was so angry that her teeth were chattering.

“There’s also Xingzhi and Sister. Perhaps he couldn’t investigate anything about Xingzhi’s ability as a soldier. But what about Sister? With her and Xingzhi around, did he think he could bully Xiaoxiao? If we were to die, would he remain unscathed? Could he still escape responsibility after we ate the lobsters he sent and died from the poison?”

Jiang Yao continued to say, “In the afternoon, I’ll go to the county town to meet Pan Peng. There’s a big problem with that person.”

Old Madam Liang asked a few more questions before she figured out what she had missed out on while she was sleeping. She was shocked to hear about it.

Old Madam Liang nodded and said, “I think Yaoyao is right. There is a big problem with that person. If he were so ruthless and wanted to poison your family, he wouldn’t have done it without making any preparations for his own exoneration. He could even get a scapegoat, but he did not resist at all and allowed himself to be captured.”

That was the most illogical point.

“Second Uncle, after dinner, I’ll accompany you to the county town.” Jiang Yao thought about it and said, “I’ll bring someone with me. He’s Xingzhi’s friend, and he’s in town now.”

Jiang Yao planned to use that opportunity to arrange for that person to stay by Second Uncle Lu’s side to protect him.

Old Madam Liang guessed who Jiang Yao was referring to, so she nodded in agreement. “Soldiers have good analytical skills, especially those who are good at scouting.”

Jiang Yao smiled at Old Madam Liang before lowering her head to take out her phone to send a message to Wang Dan, asking the man to arrange for a man to meet them at the Lu family’s home entrance.

Lunch did not last long. Jiang Yao was worried about Second Uncle Lu, so she did not have much time to enjoy the meal.

Jiang Yao waited for the man that Wang Dan had arranged to arrive before she left with Second Uncle Lu. Jiang Yao sat in the passenger seat as Second Uncle Lu drove. He kept looking at the man in the back seat with curiosity.

“Are you going to be my assistant? Aren’t you overqualified?” Uncle Lu was thinking about Lu Xingzhi’s comrade, and he was too embarrassed to order him around.

“Director Lu, during this period, just treat me as your assistant.”

The young soldier in the backseat smiled at Uncle Lu. “Protecting you doesn’t make me feel like I’m overqualified…”
