Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 188

Jiang Hang's father, Jiang Chang slapped the table like an angry lion. His stare was very frightening right now.
Liu Mei'e who sat on the side said, "Jiang Chang, quickly bring our son out. What face will our Jiang family have left if such shameful news spreads out?"
Another 40-year-old man who was there said, "Sis, things aren't that simple. Nowadays, the news media is too developed, and there's the internet as well. This matter will spread like a hurricane. You also know many people in this society hate the rich and influential circles. They are looking forward to seeing Little Hang suffer."
This man was the youngest brother of Liu Mei'e, Liu Renzhuo.
"All the media channels are fighting over to report this incident. The police have no choice but to act due to the pressure."
"What should we do then?" Liu Mei'e asked.
Jiang Chang's eyes twitched, "They used the media to force the police to grab my son. Jiang Luoxia and Amidst Heaven Group, do you really want to become my Jiang family's enemy?"
"You're quite arrogant!"
"I'll make them suffer 100-times more than what they have done to Jiang Hang."
Liu Renzhuo said, "Brother-in-law, the top priority right now is to make the police department release Little Hang. The longer he stays inside, the more it'll harm the Jiang family's reputation. If this matter reaches Elder's ears, we'll all suffer. You know very well how sensitive the Elder is about the face of the family."
As the assassin had confessed publicly and the evidence was clear, there was no way to hide this matter. The police were forced due to the pressure from the victim as well as the mass media and couldn't act recklessly.
Jiang Chang said, "To end this trouble, we must strike at its core. Make a call to the Wang family." A ministerial-level member calling an insignificant businesswoman was simply unimaginable and could be regarded as showing high esteem to the other party.
"Brother-in-law, we don't need to act politely towards those clowns. We should use political maneuvers to suppress them."
"It's quite dangerous right now. It wouldn't do good to reveal ourselves."
Liu Renzhuo called Wang Xintong's number but it was switched off, so he called Wang Xintong's secretary. Liu Renzhuo was the owner of a state enterprise, and his position wasn't lesser than a sub-provincial level post, yet he was actually calling some unknown secretary. He was already feeling quite sullen and what's worse was that he had run into a stupid secretary.
"Director Wang has already got off work, and she doesn't accept calls during rest time. If you have anything to say, please tell me. If it's inconvenient to say it to me, I can book an appointment for you. Let me check Director Wang's schedule. Tomorrow isn't possible, day after tomorrow is also packed… Eh, I'm sorry Mr. Liu, if you want to book an appointment, you'll have to book one next week. How does 10 AM on Monday sound to you? If you're fine with that, I'll make the appointment."
The veins on Liu Renzhuo's forehead popped out as he listened to the beautiful and cordial voice of the secretary on the opposite side, "Do you know who I am?"
"Yes. Liu Renzhuo, Director Liu."
"Do you think you can bear the consequences of delaying this matter? Quickly call Wang Xintong and say Jiang Hang's unc… father, Minister Jiang, is looking for her…"
The secretary was scared, "Understood. I'll call her immediately!"
After some time, the secretary called back again and spoke with a childish voice, "Director Liu, Director Wang is really busy so she said it's fine to meet next Monday. If possible, ask Minister Jiang to meet her at her office."
Bitch!
Liu Renzhuo almost smashed the phone in anger. Wang Xintong, who do you think you are? You dare to make Minister Jiang wait? You don't know what you are messing with.
Jiang Chang had clearly heard everything on the side. He was trembling all over in anger. Even the governors of each province's border regions faced difficulties when they wanted to enter the capital as they had to pass through him and this little girl was acting so impudently with him.
"Brother-in-law, this Wang Xintong is really unreasonable."
Jiang Chang said coldly, "Stop all her businesses in the Imperial Capital." He believed that a small-time businesswoman wouldn't dare to act recklessly once he held the other side's lifeline in his grasp.
On that evening, all the projects and businesses of the Amidst Heaven Group were closed down forcefully.
However, what's unexpected was that Wang Xintong still hadn't called.
By this time, 4 hours had already passed.
Jiang Chang and the others became restless. It was late into the night, but the lights were still bright in the Jiang family's courtyard. There were initially three people, but many more had gathered now. They were all from Jiang Chang's faction and included over a dozen people, but the mood didn't let anyone relax and instead made them feel depressed.
The longer Jiang Hang stayed inside, the worse it was for them.
"What should we do?"
Jiang Chang stood on the balcony with one hand on his waist and smoked a cigarette with the other. He knew the chances of the other side calling today was quite low.
The businesses of Amidst Heaven Group at the Imperial Capital weren't Jiang Luoxia and Wang Xintong's core sections. Accurate to say, they were only a small part. After all, their group had just settled in the Imperial Capital for half-a-year. Even if their business were frozen, it wouldn't hurt them much as Jiang Luoxia's true foundation was at Jiangnan.
"Minister Jiang, it's already 3 AM. Please go rest, we will keep watch here."
Jiang Chang shook his head, "Everyone can return, nothing will happen today."
His words were right. Wang Xintong hadn't called at all. They did all they could to placate the media and weren't able to make the police department release Jiang Hang.
It continued till 7 AM in the morning.
Jiang Chang called the Jiangnan border region's Gu Dezhi. He planned to strike at Jiang Luoxia's foundation and make him understand the Jiang family's power. "Brother Dezhi!"
Gu Dezhi was still a bit sleepy, "Minister Jiang, why have you called me so early in the morning? Is it something urgent?"
Jiang Chang said, "I need Brother Dezhi to help me with something. There's a big problem with Jiang Luoxia's operations. I need you to close down the industries under his name at Jiangnan."
"By Jiang Luoxia, do you mean Mr. Jiang?"
"Yes!"
Though Gu Dezhi was very afraid of the Jiang family, Mr. Jiang was his benefactor and had close ties with his Gu family as well as a Demigod. Currently, it was right to say that the Gu family and Jiang Luoxia were the administrative power and underworld power of Jiangnan, the same as partners who helped each other.
"Minister Jiang, Jiang Luoxia has too many industries in Jiangnan. Let's not even consider all of them, just closing down one or two of them would influence Jiangnan too much. I can't take this risk. Please forgive me for being unable to help you, Minister Jiang."
Jiang Chang said, "Brother Dezhi, there's no need to tell me the obvious things. This man has publicly made an enemy of my Jiang family. The Jiang family will definitely make him pay the price. If Brother Dezhi helps us with this matter, the Jiang family will surely help you in return, or else you too will become my Jiang family's enemy."
"Minister Jiang, are you threatening me?"
"No, I'm just reminding you."
"Then let me make it clear to you as well. Mr. Jiang's industries won't stop. Moreover, the Jiangnan province will support them with all it can." Gu Dezhi said this then hung the call. His attitude was steadfast.
Jiang Chang felt his belly fill with anger when he heard the beep sound on the other end of the call. He paced around in the room several times in a fit of fury and didn't say anything for a while.
Liu Mei'e pushed the door and walked in, "Jiang Chang, how is it? Little Hang has already stayed at the police department for a night."
Jiang Chang shook his head. The border region of Jiangnan had refused his Jiang family and decided to support Jiang Luoxia. He hadn't expected this to happen. This entire mess was out of predictions. "Since this way didn't work, we can only go through the judicial means. However, this matter isn't something trivial, so I can't decide recklessly. I fear we will have to ask the Elder."
"Won't his impression of Little Hang lower if the Elder knows this?"
"It's already hard to hide to this matter."
…
All the channels on the TV were showing the news about a third generation child of a family hiring a hitman.
Jiang Xiu hadn't returned to the university and slept at Wang Xintong's place, so he had escaped Lin Yueling unknowingly. Wang Xintong went to the kitchen to make noodles for him personally while she made arranged a western meal for herself which consisted of bread, ham and fried eggs.
"I got a call from Secretary Gu just now. He called you, but your phone was switched off. It looks like Jiang Chang called him this morning and requested to close down all our businesses in Jiangnan, but was instead turned down by Secretary Gu."
Jiang Xiu nodded.
"Are the noodles tasty? Wang Xintong asked.
"A bit better than my mother's."
"I don't dare to compare myself with Aunt. How do you think they will act next? Will Jiang Chang mess with the judicial system and force the verdict that Jiang Hang's innocent?"
Jiang Xiu laid down the chopsticks, "It's quite a messy situation right now. Jiang Chang has to take care not to get mixed up in it so he wouldn't do such a thing. It'll all depend on whether Elder Jiang will save him or not."
He recalled that rainy night from his memory. His mother had knelt before that tightly shut door.
