Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s Chapter 2647 - 2583: Turning the Tables

As soon as Jiang Shiheng returned, Old Master Lu rushed over, slammed a piece of paper on the table, and yelled at him.

"Old Jiang! Is your Jiang Family mistreating the fishermen around here? They’re causing a huge scene! Shuangshuang is in their grasp now, tell me what to do!"

The letter declared that Lu Shuangshuang was being held and demanded a ransom of one hundred thousand yuan.

It also mentioned that while they were fishermen, the Jiang Family had been aggressively lowering the prices for their catch, making it difficult to earn a living. Their initial plan was to kidnap the Sixth Young Master Jiang, but unexpectedly, he had left his fiancée behind and fled with his bodyguard.

Upon first seeing the ransom note, Old Master Jiang found it hard to believe.

If such a thing had truly occurred, Xiao Sixth would never have abandoned Lu Shuangshuang to escape with bodyguards.

He knew Jiang Liu well enough to be certain he wasn't that type of person. Even if he harbored suspicions about Lu Shuangshuang, he wouldn't resort to such actions in this situation.

However, Old Master Lu was utterly shocked and enraged. After throwing the letter down, his agitation caused him to faint.

Lu Junyou, who was beside him, promptly took him to the hospital.

If this news were to leak and reach the ears of those who love to gossip, it would severely damage Jiang Liu and the reputation of the Jiang Family!

Coincidentally, Sixth Young Master Jiang had also collapsed from a fever at that very moment, which temporarily put a halt to the unfolding drama. Many were awaiting his recovery to ascertain the truth of the matter.

Old Master Jiang utilized this situation, stating that he was not yet clear on the specifics but that the Jiang Family was actively dispatching personnel to search for Lu Shuangshuang's whereabouts.

Jiang Shiheng sat up, his gaze fixed on his palm.

"Xiao Sixth, your grandfather certainly believes you. However, right now, Sun Han is your only witness, and he is your subordinate. Nobody will believe his testimony. On the other hand, Lu Shuangshuang's side has witnesses claiming she went out alone at noon. The fisherman who ferried her across stated that Lu Shuangshuang agreed to meet you at the beach willingly and was not accompanied by anyone."

Old Master Jiang's expression darkened, and he finally perceived Lu Shuangshuang's true intentions.

This woman is constantly scheming!

What is her ultimate goal?

Furthermore, Old Master Lu's timely arrival in D State, under the pretense of visiting Xiao Sixth, strains credulity.

It now appears that their objective might extend beyond forcing a marriage between Xiao Sixth and Lu Shuangshuang.

What are they truly aiming to capture?

"What have your men discovered, Grandfather?" Jiang Shiheng continued to examine his hand. Despite its slightly wrinkled and pale appearance from prolonged exposure to the sea earlier that day, it was evident that his hand was clean.

His hands had never been stained with blood.

Yet, why did he now feel an impulse to defile them with it?

Does a kind heart and gentle hands prevent one from achieving great things?

With this thought, the image of Chiang Xiao reappeared in his mind.

His original intention was to keep these hands untainted for Little, as he envisioned using them in the future to pat her head and hold her close.

But those people relentless pressures, always forcing his hand.

"The search parties have not yet returned with any information; we must wait a little longer."

"If Xiao Zhou and the others are found, regardless of whether they are alive or dead, they must be brought back."

"Your grandfather is aware of this." Old Master Jiang, seeing only Sun Han remaining by his side, was filled with both shock and anger.
