Chapter 22: Intelligence About My Wife’s Younger Sister!
Jiang Tao also splurged a bit at noon today.
He ordered a portion of Stewed Chicken with Mushrooms and a portion of Pork Stew with Noodles.
Accompanied by two servings of Rice.
The quality of his lunch was several times higher than usual.
The meal cost 58 yuan, and his stomach was nearly bursting.
Full and content, Jiang Tao used a toothpick to clean his teeth while using his mobile phone to transfer 30,000 yuan to Xu Li.
The extra 10,000 was a reward for Xu Li constantly flattering him and calling him handsome.
Xu Li usually didn’t even buy cosmetics and rarely shopped online.
Even if he gave her money, she would be reluctant to spend it and would save it all.
Having had drinks at lunch, Jiang Tao didn’t go out to wait for work.
After eating, he went straight home for a midday nap.
He slept until past three in the afternoon before waking up.
After waking up, Jiang Tao went downstairs to Yu Dongdong’s supermarket and bought some convenience foods like milk and bread.
After buying things, he took several buses and arrived at Jishuitan Hospital.
Visiting hours at the hospital were between 4 PM and 6 PM.
Friends and relatives like Jiang Tao, who were not immediate family, could only visit during this time.
Wang Lianming and He Fang felt very close and warm upon seeing Jiang Tao, and they were very grateful to him.
He Fang’s ability to discover her illness so early was entirely thanks to Jiang Tao’s reminder.
Their relationship was already good, and it became even better after going through this incident.
Jiang Tao stayed at the hospital until visiting hours ended at 6 PM before leaving.
After returning home, he had a video call with his wife Xu Li and daughter for over an hour.
Today, Xu Li had taken Jiang Tao’s old mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law Xu Sha for a comprehensive physical examination at the county hospital.
It cost 1500 yuan per person, totaling 6000 yuan, and Xu Li was still feeling the pinch.
This was the largest expense she had incurred this year.
After the video call, it was only around 9 PM.
Jiang Tao was alone in the Capital City, a northbound drifter with no companions, and getting older, he was too lazy to go out and have fun.
After washing up, he got into bed and listened to a novel to pass the time.
Immersed in the world of the novel, time passed quickly.
It felt like he hadn’t listened to many chapters before time reached midnight.
Jiang Tao turned off his mobile phone and eagerly opened the Daily Intelligence System to check today’s intelligence.
【Today’s Intelligence】: When you were chatting with Xu Li yesterday, you mentioned your sister-in-law Xu Sha, and obtained related intelligence—
Xu Sha is currently singing at Pure Song Party KTV in Ping County with some classmates.
Two male classmates are plotting to get her drunk and take her to a hotel room.
……
“Damn!”
Seeing the intelligence that had just refreshed, Jiang Tao’s anger flared up, and he couldn’t help but curse.
Without thinking too much, Jiang Tao quickly found Xu Sha’s number on his mobile phone and called her!
Ring ring, ring ring—
The call went unanswered for a long time.
Jiang Tao clenched his fists so hard his knuckles cracked, wishing he could immediately grab something and rush to the KTV where Xu Sha was!
Just as Jiang Tao was about to hang up and call 110 to report it, the call was finally connected.
“Xu Sha, where are you! What are you doing out so late at night instead of going home!”
The moment the call was answered, Jiang Tao couldn’t help but vent his anger at Xu Sha.
Although this sister-in-law usually ignored him, her poor brother-in-law.
When she encountered real trouble, Jiang Tao, as her brother-in-law, couldn’t stand by and do nothing.
She was, after all, Xu Li’s own sister.
If it weren’t for the intelligence system reminding him, Jiang Tao wouldn’t have known about this.
What would Xu Sha encounter tonight?
She was only 21 this year, a junior in college, and her future was still long; if…
“Huh? What are you talking about, Jiang? I, I’m at home, I’m already asleep.”
On the other end of the phone, Xu Sha’s voice was stammering; even a deaf person could tell she was lying!
Jiang Tao said irritably, “Stop messing with me! Go home now, immediately! Otherwise, I’ll tell your sister, and see how she deals with you!”
“Hey! Jiang! Why are you so angry in the middle of the night! What did I do to you! What are you doing!”
On the other end of the phone, Xu Sha’s voice also became somewhat impatient.
“Just tell me if you’re coming back or not. Don’t tell me any other nonsense. If I can’t convince you to come back, I’ll have your sister do it.”
“Jiang! If you dare to rat me out to my sister, see if I ever talk to you again!”
Xu Sha feared neither her father nor her mother, but she was terrified of her sister Xu Li losing her temper.
Jiang Tao’s move of bringing up his wife Xu Li was indeed effective.
“You’re at Pure Song Party, right? And there are two male classmates with you!”
“Huh? Jiang! H-how do you know! Are you spying on me?”
“…”
Jiang Tao’s face turned expressionless upon hearing Xu Sha’s words.
It wasn’t surprising that Xu Sha suspected Jiang Tao was spying on her.
It was simply that the information Jiang Tao possessed was too detailed and comprehensive!
Jiang Tao thought for a moment and said, “Spying on you? Am I that idle?
A friend of mine called and said he saw you.
He also said that when those two male classmates went to the restroom, they were discussing how to get you and another female classmate drunk.
Those two guys are bad seeds; don’t hang out with them in the future! This is a piece of advice from your brother-in-law!”
Ring ring…
The line went dead.
Jiang Tao hung up the phone after speaking.
“Ah? Tian Feng and the others…”
Hearing Jiang Tao’s words, Xu Sha recalled the scene just now where Tian Feng and Huang Hao were trying in various ways to get her and her best friend to drink. It was indeed very suspicious!
Xu Sha hesitated for half a minute, and finally turned and left the KTV.
……
Inside private room 108 at Pure Song Party KTV.
Two energetic young men in short-sleeved shirts were laughing and drinking while smoking.
On the sofa beside them.
A plump girl covered in acne was holding a microphone and singing.
The girl looked deeply at one of the boys with dyed yellow hair and sang “Just Love You” in a voice like a duck’s.
“Just love you and love you, never leave, never abandon, I don’t care how many storms we go through.”
“Just love you and love you, I’ll give you all the brilliant happiness in the palm of your hand~”
“Just love you and love you, I’m willing to~”
“Just love you and love you~ I want us to be together!”
“…”
“Hey? Wang Xiaohong, where’s Xu Sha? Why hasn’t she come back yet?”
Tian Feng, enduring the discomfort of Wang Xiaohong’s affectionate gaze, asked about Xu Sha’s whereabouts.
He had primarily invited Xu Sha out to play today; Wang Xiaohong was just a bonus.
“Oh, Brother Feng, why do I suddenly feel a bit dizzy? It’s all your fault for insisting that people drink…”
Wang Xiaohong, who had been singing enthusiastically moments ago, suddenly clutched her forehead and leaned directly onto Tian Feng.
“Hey! Wang Xiaohong, get off me right now! If Xu Sha sees me like this, I won’t be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River!”
Tian Feng felt a wave of revulsion as Wang Xiaohong leaned on him.
At that time, he had wanted to persuade Xu Sha to drink.
But Wang Xiaohong had volunteered to drink it for Xu Sha, and now she was clinging to him!
Ring ring, ring ring—
The mobile phone on the coffee table rang. Tian Feng, with sharp eyes, saw it was Xu Sha calling and quickly swiped to answer.
“Hello, Xu Sha…”
“What? You went home?”
Hearing Xu Sha’s voice from the receiver, Tian Feng was stunned, as if struck by lightning.
Wang Xiaohong heard the entire conversation between Xu Sha and Tian Feng clearly and couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy!
Sasha was truly her good sister!
Creating an opportunity for herself and her crush!
Wang Xiaohong quickly pressed her advantage:
“Brother Feng, I’m feeling so dizzy, let’s find a quiet place to rest for a while.”
“Go home and find your mom! Let’s go! You’re a buzzkill!”
Tian Feng impatiently shook off Wang Xiaohong and left without looking back.
