Jiang Qiaoyue lowered her voice: "The evidence is still being collected."
"Then continue."
After hanging up the phone, Su Mi calmed down.
It took half a year for her and Jiang Qiaoyue to figure out the background of Brother Jiang.
She finally understood why Brother Jiang was loyal to Li Manyao and even helped Wan Ziya do such lawless things as killing people and abandoning their bodies.
That Brother Jiang is a native of Country M and a single father. After his wife died young, he lived alone with his daughter. He was originally the bodyguard of the Li family. Later, his only daughter contracted cancer and the sky-high medical expenses depleted his savings.
In desperation, Brother Jiang risked his life and went to Europe to work as a mercenary, hoping to earn a high reward to keep his daughter alive.
Li Manyao had already married into Datuk Palace at the time. When she returned home, she learned about the plight of this subordinate in the family. She sponsored her daughter's medical expenses and recommended her to the best local hospital. She also said that she would send someone to take good care of his daughter.
Brother Jiang thanked me profusely and left with peace of mind.
During the years when he worked as a mercenary in Europe, he relied entirely on Li Manyao to provide money and effort in country M, send people to take care of his daughter, and recommend the best doctors to her.
In order to make more money, Brother Jiang worked hard to take on assignments in Europe. He would not refuse any job no matter how dangerous it was. The scars on his face and neck were also left behind by those assignments.
But the daughter still passed away because she was seriously ill and it was not a holiday.
After hearing the news of his daughter's death, Brother Jiang rushed back to China in grief to take care of his daughter's funeral. Since he had no relatives and nothing to worry about, in order to repay his kindness, he went to Datuk's Mansion and worked as a bodyguard for Li Manyao.
Because his beloved daughter had been taken care of by Li Manyao, Brother Jiang did his best to Li Manyao and obeyed everything.
But while finding out about this matter, Su Mi also found out something very interesting.
The truth of this matter is not what Brother Jiang thinks.
But currently, there is no evidence.
Once enough evidence is collected, it's time to uncover Wan Ziya's mask.
Thinking of this, the luster on Su Mi's lips faded, her complexion returned, she opened the door and walked out.

After living in Huayuan for a few days, Xiao Subao has become familiar with the life here.
Sister He is no longer as repulsive to Su Mi as she was before they met.
Perhaps it was because she looked so much like his ex-wife, and because Xiao Subao's syndrome was so severe and so popular that he became less wary of her.
In the past few days, Huo Shenxiu was afraid that she would be unhappy, so he did not come to Huayuan and gave enough time for mother and son to get used to it.
…
On weekend afternoons, Sister He played with little Subao in the yard.
Su Mi was editing the cheongsam design draft in her room when she heard the noise coming from downstairs.
After going downstairs, Sister He led Xiao Subao into the house. She asked the maid to take Xiao Subao back to the room first, and then hurriedly walked to her:
"Mrs. Huo is here. She is noisy outside and insists on coming in. Lao He is blocking her outside. Miss Yuan, why don't you go upstairs first to avoid it?"
Finally lost her temper and came running? An invisible smile appeared on Su Mi's lips: "It's okay, please invite her in."
After that, he walked to the sofa, picked a seat, and sat down steadily.
Wan Ziya walked in quickly, and when she saw her wearing loose home clothes, sitting on the sofa, just like the hostess of Huayuan, her heart, which had been angry for a few days, started to beat fiercely, and she gritted her teeth and rushed over:
"Yuan Tang'er, why can you come to live in Huayuan!"
Butler He and Sister He went over and blocked the way, preventing her from getting close to the woman on the sofa.
Su Mi glanced at Wan Ziya, who had become even thinner over the past few days, with sunken eyes and blue lips, and two dark circles under her eyes. She folded the sides of her clothes and said calmly:
"You should ask Mr. Huo."
Wan Ziya was so angry that her whole body trembled.
When she learned that Huo Shenxiu had sent the mother and son to live in Huayuan, she was confused for the first time and couldn't believe it at all.
Even if the second master is a little interested in this woman because of her face, he won't sink to this point, right?
Huayuan? She hasn’t even stayed there for a day.
You actually let this woman get there first?!
Is that wrong?
After confirming it, she couldn't wait to run to Huayuan immediately.
But the second master had just returned to Tancheng, and she was afraid of offending him, so she endured it for a few days.
It wasn't until today that I couldn't hold it in any longer and ran over.
She adjusted her mood and pointed at the door sharply:
"Anyway, this is not the place you should stay. If you want to show off, get out of here!"
The atmosphere is tense!
Butler He took a deep breath and was about to help speak, but Su Mi remained motionless, with sarcasm appearing on her pretty face:
"This sentence should be given to yourself."
Wan Ziya's face turned purple, as if she had been slapped twice by an invisible slap.
Butler He spoke at the right time: "Madam, Miss Yuan and her son are distinguished guests invited by the second master. The second master allows them to live in Huayuan. You can't drive them away."
Sister He has always disliked seeing Wan Ziya. She felt that if this woman hadn't intervened, the wife and the second master would not have fallen apart in country m, and the wife would not have had an accident in country m. It was rare to see her at this moment, and her words were thorny.
Whispering quietly:
"The second master didn't ask her to come. He took the initiative to come to the door and make a fuss. Back then, he knew she had a family but he still got in touch with her. He didn't know who was shameless."
Wan Ziya glared at Sister He fiercely: "Who are you talking about? A servant who rebelled!"
Butler He was about to smooth things over, but Sister He snorted coldly and started to argue:
"I'll tell anyone who is shameless!"
Are you still afraid of her?
She didn't want to do it for a long time, but the second master insisted on keeping her because of his salary increase.
Even if I get fired right now, it's still worth it.
When Wan Ziya saw that a servant in Huayuan dared to point his nose and scold her, she became furious and was about to argue with Sister He again when Butler He came over and said, "Madam, please go back to the club first. Here comes the second master.
If you see this scene, you will probably be angry. You don’t want to either."
Wan Ziya held in a breath.
Why can this woman live in the main house in a grand manner, while she can only live in the guild hall?
Looking at it like this, she definitely couldn't get rid of the mother and son.
Even so, she didn't want to give up.
She gritted her teeth and sat directly on the sofa: "I won't leave. Since she can live here, I also want to live here."
She didn't believe that as Mrs. Huo, she insisted on staying in the main house. How could these servants kick her out?
Seeing that she had turned into a cowhide plaster and was not leaving, Su Mi remained silent, with only a playful smile on her lips as if she were watching a movie.
Butler He paused and said, "Madam, no one can live in Huayuan without Second Master's permission."
"I'm not an outsider, I'm your second master's wife!"
"That's not possible. The second master hasn't said hello, so we can't let you stay. Unless you call the second master and say hello."
"I live in my husband's house, do I still need to say hello to him?" Wan Ziya crossed her arms, "Anyway, I will live here starting from today and go and clean up my room."
