Chapter 520: Upholding Justice Over Family Ties
Chapter 520 Righteousness Destroys Kinship
Vice County Magistrate Wen was chatting with the leaders from the city bureau and Mr. Lai when he noticed that Director Shi was fidgeting and unable to sit still, feeling quite dissatisfied in his heart.
Moreover, he had somehow caused Jiang Mengyu to blurt out that the meal was on her today. Wasn’t this undermining his position?
The Anti-human trafficking office had limited funds, and saving every little bit counted. He had unabashedly managed to turn Jiang Mengyu’s treat into a celebration banquet, eliminating the need to spend additional money on a separate summary meeting.
Seeing Jiang Mengyu’s tacit consent, he was feeling grateful to her in his heart.
He was still scheming, thinking that Vice Town Chief Jing needed money for road construction, and since Damiang Town was his contact point, he was wondering if he could get Jiang Mengyu to donate to the road construction.
Conveniently, Vice Town Chief Jing was very cooperative, immediately sitting next to Jiang Mengyu and kept her company in conversation.
It seemed they hit it off well, and he thought with a little more effort from her, followed by a word from himself after the meal, he might convince this wealthy girl to contribute some money.
But what on earth was wrong with this stubborn guy? Bringing a gal to such an event was already inappropriate, and he even wanted Jiang Mengyu, the God of Wealth who had brought the girl, to give up her seat?
Who gave him the courage?
Just as he was about to speak, the girl herself said: "Sis, I came looking for you."
Once Jiang Huaiyu spoke, she drew the attention of all the leaders present.
And it had confused them: Was this pitiful girl Jiang Mengyu’s sister?
Although everyone had been chatting, which leader doesn’t have ears in all directions? Many noticed the girl Director Shi had brought as soon as they arrived, and everyone knew that tonight’s meal was hosted by Jiang Mengyu, the low-key girl sitting by the door.
Now, when the girl brought by Director Shi began to speak, even if they wanted to pretend they hadn’t noticed, they couldn’t. Everyone’s attention was no longer on their conversation, but had been drawn to Jiang Huaiyu.
All the leaders looked at Jiang Huaiyu with puzzled eyes, then at Jiang Mengyu: They seemed unrelated.
Vice Town Chief Jing, noticing that it involved Mengyu, was the first to close the door of the private room.
Seeing that she had attracted the leaders’ attention, Jiang Huaiyu immediately fell to her knees, clung to Jiang Mengyu’s legs, and began to cry, "Sis, I’m so scared. Our dad is dead, but he’s been falsely accused as a human trafficker.
Sis, you know, he wasn’t like that. He was working in a factory, and he lost his job because of your kidnapping. He just agreed to help recruit female workers for a coastal city job when he got carried away by the Boss’s offer.
All he did was help with recruitment; he didn’t know that the man was a human trafficker, sis. How could he have been beaten to death? Sis—"
The leaders were overwhelmed by this flood of significant information.
Was this the biological daughter of Jiang Haidong, the human trafficker who was beaten to death on the bus?
There’s no doubt she was Jiang Haidong’s daughter, but the question is, is Jiang Mengyu also the daughter of that human trafficker?
If we recall everything about the entire incident, without Jiang Mengyu, more than forty kidnapped girls could have been sold into brothels.
She has spent tens of thousands of yuan on this matter.
Was this her righteousness destroying kinship, or as the girl said, was Jiang Haidong wrongly accused?
Also, did the human trafficker Jiang Haidong lose his job because of Jiang Mengyu?
With just a few words from this girl, the amount of information was significant and somewhat too much to process.
