Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 2580: Chapter 2516: Who Can Be Trusted

Ah Qiu is the younger brother of Fourth Master Jiang’s wife. He has been helping out at the Jiang Family for quite some time. In his younger days, he worked at a shop outside, and as he grew older and refused to retire, he was assigned to manage the kitchen.

Everyone in the Jiang Family believes that the person managing the kitchen must be trustworthy, ideally one of their own. So, Fourth Madam Jiang’s own brother must count as family, right?

When he was initially brought over to handle the kitchen, Fourth Madam Jiang spoke highly of him, promising that she would keep a close watch over him, ensuring the kitchen would become the most invulnerable part of the Jiang Family, and providing each family member with the most reassuring and nutritious food.

And in just a few years?

Such an incident befell Old Master Jiang.

After the incident, Old Master Jiang thought it couldn’t possibly be Ah Qiu’s fault and attributed it to someone too insidious and ruthless to guard against. Thus, he didn’t blame Ah Qiu or question his responsibilities.

But now, with such a significant incident, everyone has gathered here, yet Ah Qiu, who should be here, is absent, which arouses Old Master Jiang’s suspicion.

If Ah Qiu wasn’t grossly negligent, then maybe he himself is the problem.

Fourth Madam Jiang, wiping her tears, said: ”It’s so early! Isn’t it normal that Ah Qiu couldn’t make it in time? Who hasn’t overslept once in a while?”

Fourth Master Jiang became furious upon hearing her words and shouted: ”Enough! Hurry and find him!”

Ah Qiu was found quickly.

He is the late-born child of Fourth Madam Jiang’s father, much younger than Fourth Madam Jiang, and now only around fifty years old, with a chubby, round appearance. Finding someone with his plumpness in this era is indeed rare.

When Ah Qiu saw Ah Way lying on the ground, he was shocked.

”Wha-what’s going on? He was perfectly fine yesterday!”

”What happened? Shouldn’t you be the one to answer that?” Old Master Jiang roared.

”Why should it be up to me? Master Jiang, you can’t say that! Do you know how many days I spent preparing for last night’s banquet? I finally had a good night’s sleep yesterday, and now this happens? I’m not their caretaker, can’t watch them day and night, right?”

”Yes, Ah Qiu is right. It was the middle of the night, who wouldn’t sleep? Who would go out wandering?” Fourth Madam Jiang said while glancing at Jiang Shiheng.

Jiang Shiheng smiled slightly, ”Are you implying it was me, Fourth Aunt? Which eye of yours saw me awake in the middle of the night?”

”Xiao Sixth, how are you speaking? When did I say that?”

At this moment, Cheng Cheng suddenly stood up and said, ”He died due to being injected with some toxic substance.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback and began to feel uneasy.

Cheng Cheng pointed at the not-so-visible needle mark on Ah Way’s neck.

Since there are no other injuries on his body, this might be the reason.

”Could there be such a terrifying murderer hidden in our Jiang Family?”

Jiang Shiheng said, ”It’s quite possible, so let’s conduct a thorough investigation.”

His words left all the Jiang Family members in shock.

A thorough investigation, how should it be conducted?

Chiang Xiao and Meng Xinian went for a run after getting up. It’s been a while since they woke up early to jog together, and after the run, they felt refreshed and energized.
