Chapter 1249: Chapter 1248: Purple Gold Stone
"Do you think it’s okay?" Xiaoyu asked.
"It’s okay, we really like it," Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.
This house hasn’t been lived in for a long time. It might be a bit chilly, but as long as you don’t mind," Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Suddenly, Xiaoyu’s phone rang, "I have some work matters to deal with, I’ll step out for a bit," Xiaoyu said after answering the call.
Hmm, go ahead," Cloud said.
"Jiang, what’s going on with Zhang Tian over there?" Zhao Shuai asked. Just now, Xiaoyu was around, so he didn’t ask much, as Xiaoyu still didn’t know his identity.
"There’s a Purple Gold Stone in the phone chip. Someone must have framed him on purpose.
Jiang Cheng said.
"Just this alone can’t clear him of suspicion, right?" Qi Rongfeng said.
"Hmm," Jiang Cheng thought, Zhang Tian must know something. Since he’s not willing to talk, we’ll stop asking.
Zhang Tian indeed knows who did it. Zhang Tian arrived at an inconspicuous residential area, walked to a house, and knocked on the door. The door quickly opened.
Zhang Tian saw the person he wanted to meet.
"Long time no see." A gleam flashed in Zhang Tian’s eyes, unsure what he was thinking.
"You really found out after all." A familiar voice sounded.
"Mantasha, what are you planning?" Zhang Tian asked.
The woman in front of him was sitting on the sofa, still dressed in a black outfit. The room was dim, making Mantasha look even more gloomy.
"Why say it’s me?" Mantasha asked with a smile.
"You don’t need to know," Zhang Tian said coldly.
"You say... I didn’t know you had a good relationship with Jiang Cheng," Mantasha said with a touch of disdain.
"Why?"
"Indeed, if it weren’t for him, you might not have known so quickly," Mantasha laughed eerily.
"I’m not here to listen to this useless stuff today, I just want to say, don’t go too far," Zhang Tian said.
"I also want to remind you, Jiang Cheng is from Kai Ao Country, and we are Li People, do you not know that?" Mantasha’s voice gradually sharpened, sounding somewhat sinister.
"So what?" Zhang Tian didn’t heed Mantasha and asked coldly, "Sooner or later, there will be war between Kai Ao Country and Li Country," Mantasha said.
"That’s just the delusion of a madwoman,"
"Keke, whether it’s delusion or not, you’ll know eventually. I’m just giving you a reminder," Mantasha slowly walked over to Zhang Tian’s side, "Don’t trust him too much, otherwise, you might really be betrayed someday."
"This is none of your business," Zhang Tian ignored Mantasha as if he didn’t want to see her at all, "However, what do you plan to do about this matter this time?"
"You might as well go to jail yourself." Zhang Tian’s lips curled a bit. At such an age, you’re probably not up for antics.
Mantasha’s face suddenly fell; she was quite concerned about her age and appearance. "Do you think that’s possible?"
"I don’t care about you. I’m just kindly reminding you that next time, it won’t be so easy to let you off," Zhang Tian said as he turned and walked away.
In the room, Mantasha’s face grew even colder.
After Zhang Tian left, he called Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng was really surprised to receive a call from Zhang Tian.
After answering the phone, Jiang Cheng found Zhao Shuai and Qi Rongfeng staring at him, waiting for him to speak.
Zhang Tian said he’s resolved it. The person behind the scenes is Mantasha.
"Mantasha? That old witch?" Zhao Shuai exclaimed.
"But it seems Tasha knows Zhang Tian, right?" Qi Rongfeng said.
"Yes, probably," Jiang Cheng knew Zhang Tian was acquainted with Mantasha.
It’s just that Zhang Tian didn’t want to talk about the truth behind it.
"That old witch is causing trouble here too. Really bad," Cloud said.
"Sometimes, Zhang Tian seems alright, but other times, he’s really annoying," Zhao Shuai said.
"After all, they’re from different countries," Jiang Cheng sighed. No matter what, the countries stand between them.
"Huh? It’s resolved so quickly?" Zhao Shuai saw the news and said.
"What?" Qi Rongfeng asked.
"It’s Zhang Tian’s case. They said someone deliberately put Purple Gold Stone into the phone during manufacturing," Zhao Shuai said, looking at his phone.
"So fast?" Jiang Cheng was surprised. After all, the case had just been investigated.
"Why isn’t that old witch brought to justice?" Zhao Shuai grit his teeth at the mention of Mantasha.
"How could she be? For something like this, if she dares to do it, there’ll be a scapegoat," Qi Rongfeng said.
Jiang Cheng knew this kind of thing couldn’t result in Mantasha facing repercussions.
Such a matter that harms the people is just handled casually like this.
It’s really frustrating, Jiang Cheng thought.
"I always feel like that old witch will cause trouble for us the moment she gets a chance," Cloud said.
"It’s okay. Hasn’t she always caused trouble before?" Jiang Cheng thought, someday, he would make Mantasha pay the price.
"Huh? Look at this photo," Cloud walked to the TV and saw a photo.
The photo showed Xiaoyu with a beautiful woman who looks very much like Xiaoyu, probably Xiaoyu’s mother, but the photo wasn’t complete.
In the photo, Xiaoyu was in the middle, with one arm on her mother’s shoulder, and the other arm likely on someone else, but the other person seemed to have been intentionally cut out.
"This is," Qi Rongfeng saw this incomplete photo too.
"No wonder Xiaoyu never mentioned her father; she only said her mother passed away," Cloud said, looking at the photo of Xiaoyu’s blossom-like smile with regret.
"She must have been very happy then.
Jiang Cheng didn’t pay much attention to this. Since the person involved didn’t want to talk about her family matters, then it must be something worth forgetting. Asking any further would only add to the sadness.
"When she returns, don’t bring it up. She definitely doesn’t want to talk about it," Jiang Cheng said.
"Of course, we’re not stupid," Zhao Shuai said matter-of-factly.
"The most untrustworthy one is you! You’re always talking nonsense," Cloud glared at Zhao Shuai.
"Huh? What did I do now? You people," Zhao Shuai retorted.
Qi Rongfeng and Jiang Cheng exchanged smiles, these two were about to go at it again. Jiang Cheng and Zhao Shuai and the others had been staying at Xiaoyu’s place for a few days.
"Feels so leisurely lately, Jiang," Zhao Shuai lay on the sofa eating an apple.
"These days we really have nothing much going on, feels like those days of being on edge are really far off," Cloud said unclearly while applying a face mask. These days, Cloud had been going out shopping and eating with Xiaoyu, truly enjoying herself.
But, you know Wula Sect is recruiting disciples lately, right?" Qi Feng said.
"Ah, you, of course, we all know. You just came in with such bad news," Zhao Shuai glanced at Qi Rongfeng and said.
"What needs to be faced must be faced, let’s get up and tidy up. We’ll go check it out," Jiang Cheng said.
"Jiang, will the Wula Sect people accept us? And why do we need to go in?" Zhao Shuai asked.
"Wula Sect holds such a status in this country, we definitely have to go," Jiang Cheng felt there must be problems within the Wula Sect.
