this is not a joke

Chapter 171
As Meng Yibo said, the Jiang family is the top family in Zhoucheng. Whether it is an official or a businessman, their tentacles have spread across many cities, and they have close contacts with the forces in the central city.

It was difficult for Wei An to refuse the Jiang family's invitation, and Meng Yibo was also invited to participate as the leader.

As for Wei'an's proposal to return the valuable gifts that the Jiang family sent last time, Jiang Jialiang flatly refused, saying that this was his grandfather's wish. If the Wei family insisted on returning it, his grandfather would definitely feel that they did not give the Jiang family face. .

Now that we have talked about this, Wei An will not say anything more.

When I got home and told my parents, those two, especially Wen Qiong, were inconvenient against Mr. Jiang's wishes.

However, they have cleared up the gifts in the past few days. Those gold and silver jewellery, watches and high-end mobile phones, expensive Chinese herbal medicines, etc. should be worth nearly ten million in total.

Since the Jiang family had this intention, the couple decided to accept it. On the day of the banquet, the family made special preparations. Although they would not wear a suit and tie, at least they would not dress so casually.

Wei An specially called Pei Na, and Pei Na was well dressed, and gave many suggestions on Wen Qiong's outfit.

Wen Qiong wore a generous and decent dress, Wei Zhengdong wore a shirt, trousers and leather shoes, and Wei An, following Pei Na's suggestion, dressed neatly and cleanly, as long as he didn't feel casual.

Pei Na herself is still in work attire, but she is as slim as ever.

The Jiang family has real estate in Zhoucheng, but the manor is located in the outskirts of Zhoucheng. Mr. Jiang also lives in the outskirts and rarely goes to the city.

Pei Na drove, and the family arrived at Jiang's Manor on time at seven o'clock in the evening.

Jiang Jialiang had been waiting at the door for a long time, and with him were his parents and Meng Yibo who had just arrived.

After getting off the car, not only Wen Qiong and Wei Zhengdong felt restrained, but also Wei An, because the Jiang family obviously attached great importance to this banquet, and the hall was decorated very delicately, not only the Wei family came, but also other guests Some friends and family.

Mr. Jiang has thinning white hair, but his beard is clean-shaven, and he is wearing a dark gray Tang suit. He has a kind face, especially after seeing Wei An, his eyes light up and he smiles.

The two sides introduced each other, and it was easy for Wei An to introduce his parents and assistant Pei Na, but except for Jiang Jialiang's parents and a few people who were deeply impressed by the Jiang family, he quickly remembered everyone else. I can't help it anymore, because Jiang Jialiang has too many seven aunts and eight aunts.

Wei'an's family sat at a table with Mr. Jiang, and Wei'an was specially arranged to sit next to Mr. Jiang, and Meng Yibo was on the other side of Wei'an.

After some opening remarks, everyone moved their chopsticks. The dishes on the table were extremely rich, some of which Wei Zhengdong and Wen Qiong had never even seen before. Give them food.

Everyone chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was pretty good.

Mr. Jiang said to Wei An: "To be honest, when I saw Jia Liang coming back, I still had a feeling of dreaming. Before the management bureau sent you into that strange talk, I once thought that Jia Liang was dead. Being able to bring his body out is not in vain for my sleepless nights."

Wei An said: "To be honest, Mr. Jiang, the moment I didn't see Jiang Jialiang, I also thought he was probably cold. Because the strange story is very complicated. It is said to be a strange story. In fact, our investigators have to complete at least three to three minutes in it. There are four missions, and it is impossible to determine which mission Jiang Jialiang will appear in, and there is a bit of luck in it."

Mr. Jiang was surprised. Although he knew that it would not be easy for Wei An to pick up his grandson, he never thought that since it would be so difficult, it would depend on luck, not just the strength of the young man in front of him.

Wei An continued: "Later, when I saw Jiang Jialiang squatting on the ground and burning paper, I finally let go of my heart a little bit. As long as I can move, most of the others are still there, and there is still a chance to save him."

"It's also thanks to your boldness and carefulness. According to Meng Yibo, the chances of rescuing Jialiang should be very small if other investigators are used," Mr. Jiang said.

Meng Yibo nodded immediately, "Mr. Jiang, I'm really not talking nonsense. Wei'an is currently the backbone of our Zhoucheng Administration, even that old investigator Jian Hui can't compare. The docking with him does not go through my hands."

"Is Xiaowei going to be transferred?" Mr. Jiang asked.

"No, no." Wei An shook his head, "There are strange stories everywhere, and wherever I am transferred, I have to solve the strange stories, so it is the same wherever I work. If there are indeed difficult strange stories in other places, they may be transferred first us."

Speaking of this, Elder Jiang sighed.

Wei An knew what he was thinking, and said, "Since Mr. Jiang is so worried about Jiang Jialiang's safety, why don't you let him do something else at home?"

Mr. Jiang shook his head and said: "The children of my Jiang family have personalities, and if they don't listen to what they say, I simply won't force it anymore, and Jialiang's performance at the beginning is indeed suitable for the job of investigator, but the degree of danger of this profession Too high, that's my only concern."

Wei An asked: "Old Jiang, besides Jiang Jialiang, have other members of the Jiang family encountered strange stories?"

Jiang Laodao: "Yes, there are more than one or two. My cousin's grandson passed away unfortunately in the strange talk. At first I thought it was my Jiang family's bad luck, causing some weird things, but after Meng Yibo talked about it, , I just realized that things like ghost stories have become more and more frequent, it's just a matter of chance, not because my Jiang family is unlucky."

Wei An nodded, "So I don't think it's a bad thing for Jiang Jialiang to aspire to become an investigator. As you said, strange stories have happened everywhere now, and they will only become more frequent in the future. There are so many people in the Jiang family, and the business is also growing. If it is disturbed by the strange talk, the loss will definitely be immeasurable. If Jiang Jialiang can take this opportunity to support himself, it will be a strong guarantee for the development of the Jiang family's business and the safety of his children and grandchildren."

Mr. Jiang smiled, "You are very good at talking. Looking at it this way, it is indeed not as bad as I thought at first. But since Jialiang chose this path, he is destined to be with you. Please take care of him in the future." Just a moment. I, Jiang Kun, are here, so I would like to thank you in advance!"

After the words fell, he raised his wine glass.

Wei An immediately raised the wine glass in front of him.

Meng Yibo also stretched out his wine glass.

The three of them clinked glasses, and after taking a sip, Wei An said, "So, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Although the investigator is more dangerous in the short term, as long as he survives the first few hurdles, he will only get worse and worse in the future." Powerful. I'm afraid that in the world where strange stories are frequent in the future, it is possible to grow up to become the patron saint of your Jiang family."

Hearing Wei An's words, Mr. Jiang's depression was resolved. In fact, after thinking about it, the changing world situation is indeed the reason. Even if there are risks in the early stage, Jiang Jialiang is a long-term problem for the whole family in the later stage. protection.

With a laugh, he raised his wine glass and touched Wei An again.

The others didn't know what they were talking about, but seeing the old man so happy, they all smiled.

Especially Jiang Jialiang, who knew his grandfather's character well, smiled at him now, and gave himself a look of approval. For some reason, the previous look of hating iron and steel has disappeared.
