Chapter 419 - Who Set the Trap for Who...?

Before Bai Kai moved, the people from the Lu family behind him had scattered all at once.


Glancing at those people fiercely, Bai Kai turned sideways and said, “It’s not over. I’ll wait and see!”


“Liuliu?” Jiang Rui found that the person in his arms was shaking harder and harder. He picked her up right away and strode away.


Wen Pintang sat in the car and said, “Feel free to call me.”


Watching Jiang Rui’s car leave, Xie Hong was a little worried. “If Bai Weirong really has a miscarriage…”


“So what?” Wen Pintang said lightly, “As a witness, you can prove that it was Bai Weirong that slapped Liuliu first. The Wan family will definitely let her pay for that, even she died today, let alone having a miscarriage.”


“She must pay for slapping Liuliu in the face.”


Xie Hong had planned to say something else, but kept to smiling and keeping quiet. After going home, they were told by Wen Zeyu that Tuan Zi had been picked up by Bear, and Wen Zeyu also asked if something had happened to them. Wen Pintang didn’t tell him that, and only asked him not to disturb Tuan Zi during those days.


After returning home, Jiang Rui took Chen Chen into the bathroom. “Liuliu, will you undress yourself or let me undress you?”


Chen Chen looked shockingly pale. “Brother… Brother Xiao Rui… Her baby…”


“Listen to me. It has nothing to do with you. Just take a bath and eat ice cream!” Jiang Rui said while reaching out to unbutton her dress.


Of course, she was unwilling to let him take off her clothes. She stutteringly said that she could do it herself and pushed him out.


“Liuliu, remember to take a bath. Otherwise, I will come in. You know the door can’t stop me.” Jiang Rui said outside the door. It was quiet inside, but he knew that Chen Chen understood what he meant.


In the living room, Xiao Si, and Bear who had just arrived, looked serious. That matter could develop into a big deal or a trifle. If the Bai family didn’t let it go, they would very likely bring it to court.


“Boss!” When Jiang Rui came out, they hurriedly asked, “How is Mrs. Jiang?”


Jiang Rui shook his head. “Collect the information about the waiter.”


“The one who poured the wine on Mrs. Jiang?”


Jiang Rui had already learned the story from Xiao Si, saying fiercely, “Boss, you mean that… Mrs. Jiang was framed?”


“I’ll do it right away!” Xiao Si opened the door and ran away.


Bear said, “Fuck! Who is it? Long Zhen’ao?”


“It’s not him.” Jiang Rui shook his head. “He would never do such a thing.” Jiang Rui sneered and said, “I suspect it is Lu Tao!”


“That’s his child, too!” Bear couldn’t believe it.


Jiang Rui replied. “He had not planned to have that child.”


What Lu Tao wanted was the support of the Bai family. Sacrificing an unborn baby for framing Jiang Rui was absolutely something he would do.


“Does he think that such a thing would destroy us?” Bear clenched his fist. “Fuck! I must find a chance to beat him up.”


“He’s not so naive.” Jiang Rui glanced at Chen Chen’s room. “We must find if it was he who framed us first. Then we’ll just wait and see what he wants to do.”


Seeing that he had been glancing at the room, Bear knew that he was worried about Chen Chen. He stood up and said, “I’ll go pick up Tuan Zi!”


Jiang Rui sat and pondered in the living room for a while, and heard some noise. Chen Chen came out with red eyes, with water still dripping from her hair.


“Come here!” He sighed and took a towel. “Are you not afraid of catching a cold?”


Chen Chen sat down beside him. Jiang Rui said while drying her hair, “Don’t you believe me?”


“What?” Chen Chen looked up in a daze.


“I said it had nothing to do with you. But you don’t believe me.”


“But… I actually pushed her and she fell down. At that time, she slapped me. It really hurt and I forgot that she was pregnant.”


Jiang Rui took a closer look at her face, and when he found that it was still a little inflamed, his face clouded. She wrapped her hair in a towel and went into the kitchen. Chen Chen saw him take out a bag of ice and lightly closed her lips. “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”


“How could it not hurt when your face is so swollen?” Jiang Rui put the ice on her face gently. “This incident was deliberately designed by someone. It’s not your fault.”


Hearing his words, Chen Chen moved with surprise, only to bump her face against the ice bag. Her face twisted in pain.


She gasped and asked, “What do you mean?”


“They’ve gone to make an investigation. You just need to know that it’s not your fault. When the truth is revealed, you’ll naturally know what’s going on.”


After hearing what he said, Chen Chen felt more relieved. Anyway, if it was her push that made Bai Weirong have a miscarriage, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.


Seeing her yawn, Jiang Rui told her to lie down. “Sleep for a while. I’ll cook now.”


“I can’t sleep.” Chen Chen looked at him pitifully. Jiang Rui sat beside her, and continued to dry her hair, slowly massaging her scalp. Soon, Chen Chen became sleepy, but she still tried to stay awake and said, “I hope the baby is fine…”


When Chen Chen fell asleep, Jiang Rui carefully covered her with a blanket, and then heard the dog barking outside the door.


He opened the door immediately, and made a gesture to quiet them down. Hei Zi had planned to bark loud, but dared not to make a noise with its mouth open. It rubbed its body against Jiang Rui’s legs and followed Tuan Zi into the house.


“Is Mom okay?” Bear had told her what had happened on the way home. Everyone recognized that Tuan Zi was more reliable than Chen Chen. But of course, Chen Chen was shockingly talented in biochemistry!


While putting on his jacket, Jiang Rui said in a low voice, “Stay with your mom. Dad is going to the army now.”


“Yeah!” Tuan Zi quickly ran to another sofa and played with the tablet computer, while Hei Zi was gnawing a molar rod beside her.


Bear was waiting for him downstairs. When Jiang Rui got in the car, Bear asked quickly, “Is Mrs. Jiang all right? Ah Zi was just about to make a phone call, but I stopped her.”


“She’s asleep.” Jiang Rui gave him a sign to start the car. “Go back to the army.”


In the hospital, Bai Weirong woke up.


“Lu Tao?”


“Weirong, don’t move!” Lu Tao helped her lean against the pillow. “Still hurts?”


Bai Weirong touched her belly. “… Child…”


“It’s gone.” Lu Tao looked slightly sad. “You…”


“Alright!” Bai Weirong smiled relaxedly. “Anyway, I didn’t want it originally. Just let it be gone.”


Lu Tao curled his lips with sarcasm, but soon he said apprehensively, “Alas, you have to take a good rest for some time. The doctor said that your body was harmed so badly that it will be difficult for you to get pregnant again.”


“What?” Bai Weirong was shocked by hearing that. “I can’t get pregnant anymore?”


“No.” Lu Tao hurriedly comforted her. “I mean that you must take good care of yourself. Otherwise, it will not be easy for you to get pregnant.”


Bai Weirong breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly said with a fierce look, “It’s all Chen Chen’s fault. What a bitch! Where’s my dad? Arrest her! Hurry up!”


“I just told you to have a good rest. Now, you get agitated again.” Lu Tao took the insulated pack. “It’s chicken soup cooked by the maid. Have some!”


“I don’t want to.” Bai Weirong said with red eyes. “Why? I suffered a lot but nothing happened to that woman!”


“You’re so shameless to ask why.” Bai Kai just entered the room, and shivered with anger on hearing her words. “Why did you slap her for no reason? Your grandfather was so angry with you that he had a heart attack on such a big day.”


Bai Weirong cried loudly. “You actually blame me? I had a miscarriage, and I’m lying in the hospital now. It’s me!”


“You deserve it!” Bai Kai looked at her coldly, “You’d better simply stay in the hospital. It’s hoped that the Wan family refrains from making you pay for the slap, just for the sake of your unborn baby. Otherwise you just wait for the penalty your grandfather gives you!”


“You come with me.” Bai Kai glanced at Lu Tao.


Lu Tao followed Bai Kai out of the ward. “Dad, Weirong is very sad now. After all, it is our first child.”


“I know.” Bai Kai sighed. “Do you think I’m not angry? Anyway, the Lu family and the Bai family lost a child. How could a slap compare with a life?”


“Dad, you mean…” Lu Tao concealed the pleasure in his eyes. “Are you going to resort to the law?”


Bai Kai frowned and said, “These days, I have to trouble you to take care of her. I’ll go back to discuss what we should do with your grandpa.”


In the evening, after Bai Weirong fell asleep, Lu Tao went to the bar alone.


“Brother!” A young man with a cigarette in his mouth patted him on the shoulder. “Why didn’t you stay with my sister-in-law at the hospital?”


“Lu Yu?” Lu Tao was shocked, and then wore a forced smile. “I forgot that you are a regular customer here.”


Lu Yu, the youngest son of the Lu family, had just graduated from a school abroad and fooled about all day long.


“By the way, as for what happened today, just let it go? My dad said your child was gone. Obviously, they are bullying us, aren’t they?”


Lu Tao ordered a glass of wine for Lu Yu. “Then what should I do? Who is Jiang Rui? Besides, his wife is the daughter of the Wan family. Today, my father-in-law said that if they want an explanation, Weirong has to apologize.”


“Fuck!” Lu Yu drank up the wine in one go. “No wonder the Bai family has been completely unable to surpass the Jiang family in the military and politics in recent years. The Bai family is so gutless.”


“Actually, it’s not the Bai family’s fault. It is said that Mr. Bai has a good relationship with Jiang Min. It’s the younger generations that cause trouble.”


Lu Yu ordered another bottle of wine and filled their glasses. “Brother, affairs in the army certainly can’t be governed by the police. Do you know who can govern it?”


“It’s said that in the Ministry of State Security, there is a law enforcement agency responsible for these affairs.” Lu Tao said while glancing at Lu Yu, “What do you want to do? Don’t mess it up!”


“Then if someone goes to them to report a crime, will they arrest the suspect? Regardless of the military rank of the suspect?” Lu Yu continued to ask, “What if the suspect resists? What if he’s unwilling to be arrested?”


Lu Tao thought for a moment and replied. “I remember hearing Mr. Bai mention that occasionally. No matter how high the military rank is, when they go to arrest someone, no one can resist. Otherwise he can be killed as a traitor.”


Seeing Lu Yu being curious, Lu Tao nudged him. “Don’t mess it up. Leave this matter to the older generation. Otherwise, we will be blamed for making it worse.”


“Well, don’t worry!” Lu Yu said with an oily smile. “I just ask about it casually. I thought that no one can govern those guys!”


Lu Tao was still uneasy, repeatedly telling him not to mess it up. Later, Lu Yu got impatient and took a woman he had just met to sleep in a hotel. Lu Tao was left alone, looking at his back with a meaningful smile.
