    “Why are you here so late, girl? Your coworker just left, did you forget something?”

    “I’ve come to inform you of something, Auntie.”

    Jiang Xia didn’t directly tell Li Chunxia that Xu Yin would be coming tonight, she just told Auntie Li that the contractor over at the construction site was coming to pick up the building materials tonight, and that all the materials had been put into the abandoned garage at the back.

    “He’s a little late, it’s going to be after 1:00 a.m. No matter how much noise there is or what he asks, you just tell him the stuff is in the garage.”

    “But I’ll be back in about an hour, so you guys remember to open the door for me.

    In the past, on the first night, he would act in tandem with Xu Yin, first courtesy and then troops, Ran Yi is responsible for fake attentiveness to mobilize Auntie Li Chunxia’s emotions with words that make it difficult to help her, and after that, Xu Yin would then rush in with a plan to force Auntie Li into a desperate situation with a dead man’s head and a plan to threaten her child.

    She called Ran Yi again.

    “If you really want to save me…you must do me a favor?” Jiang Xia didn’t hesitate to tell him about her kidnapping Cheng Yu and the threats that followed.

    Ran Yi’s tone had indeed changed drastically, and Jiang Xia’s behavior was clearly over the top.

    “I’ve warned you countless times before, don’t you know how much Cheng Molin loves his son? Don’t you know how deeply the Mo Lin Group has infiltrated the judiciary in F City? Cheng Molin can summon the entire police force of F City with a wave of his hand, you’re asking for death, how can I save you?

    “I don’t need you to tell me that, but I had to in order to save that child…” said Jiang Xia calmly.

    “There’s still a chance, if you listen to me and are willing to help me.”

    Ran Yi was silent for a long time before agreeing to Jiang Xia’s request.

    “Tell me how I can help you.”

    “Give up what you promised Seoin you’d do today, but you’re still coming over to the low-cost housing side, and since you said he’ll bring a lot of police force, it’s only fair to ask you to relieve this trouble.”

    Ran Yi let out a long sigh.

    “Leave the hardest thing to me every time…okay I’ll try to stop them.”

    As for Xu Yin, Jiang Xia intended to give final notice.

    Jiang Xia knew that even though she had explained to Xu Yin that she would choose to sacrifice her double and would be willing to approach Cheng Yu in exchange for cooperation between the two families, he still wouldn’t give up on sacrificing Li Chunxia in exchange for public opinion pressure from the Murin Group.

    The key to the problem lies in Chen Jieyi, as long as she exists as a stand-in, Xu Yin can claim to the public that his adopted daughter was killed in the accident without any worries, but if he were to switch to Jiang Xia himself, Xu Yin wouldn’t dare to be so reckless, and Jiang Xia’s death would implicate Cheng Yu, and more than likely arouse the suspicion of the Cheng family.

    So, just preserve Jenny Chan.

    She dialed Jaycee Chan’s number one last time.

    “Do you want to see your sister?”

    “I want to! But isn’t sis not coming home today?”

    “Tonight my colleague has something to do, my sister has taken over his job at the low-cost housing, so I have to spend the night here tonight… I’ve talked to the workers about the hood ventilation ducts, and they said that something isn’t quite right… Maybe there’s a discrepancy between the drawings and the actual structure… So you have to come here no matter what…”

    “I… am I going to go out?” Chen Jieyi’s tone was a little shaky.

    “Well, I’ll take a cab to pick you up in half an hour, and the housekeeper, Lao Liang, won’t let you go out, so don’t get caught~”

    “Okay…I’ll try.”

    Jiang Xia put down the phone and took a long breath, the key to solving the problem was in Chen Jieyi, since Xu Yin desperately needed a scapegoat, let’s hide her for the time being.

    After Jiang Xia parked the cab at the entrance of the mansion, she picked up Chen Jieyi, and she made Chen Jieyi put on an eye mask so that she was rather less scared after she couldn’t see the others.

    “Sister, are we going to the low-cost housing? Where will I sleep tonight? Can we sleep together? Speaking of which, is there no one else in the low-cost housing besides Auntie Li? Auntie Li Chunxia is quite nice, so I’ll try to hold back from crying out.”

    But she wouldn’t know that Jiang Xia wouldn’t even bring her to the low-cost housing.

    Taking advantage of Chen Jieyi’s idle thoughts, Jiang Xia mixed the rest of the sleeping pills into water and fed it to her, and within five minutes, Chen Jieyi went into a baby-like stable sleep.

    When Jiang Xia carried Chen Jieyi into the abandoned garage, the brother and sister even asked who this was. Jiang Xia just replied indifferently this is my twin sister.

    “She’ll meet and negotiate with the informant here for me.”

    “But this one was recognized ah.”

    Jiang Xia looked at the sleeping face, no matter how he looked at them they looked like they were carved from the same mold.

    “Not like that?”

    Those two brothers were afraid that their handles and paychecks were in Jiang Xia’s hands, so they could only agree with Jiang Xia’s point of view.

    After preparing all this, Jiang Xia returned to the mansion, and she knocked on Old Liang’s door imitating Chen Jieyi’s tone.

    “Old Liang…why isn’t sister back tonight.”

    Liang Shaoruo probably knew that Xu Yin had already decided to give up Chen Jieyi’s decision as a stand-in, so he couldn’t say anything more, so he had to tell her to go to sleep quickly.

    Unsurprisingly to Jiang Xia, the moment Liang Shaoruo closed the door, he reported to Xu Yin that the double had not left the mansion.

    Jiang Xia changed into Chen Jieyi’s pajamas and lay on the bed, smelling the faint lavender scent on her pajamas.

    Finally she had everything set up and secure, just one last move to make.

    She set up a timed message, and the message would be delivered exactly when Xu Yin arrived at the low-cost housing at twelve o’clock in the morning.

    “I went back to the mansion and didn’t see Jaycee Chan, the double is missing and the locator shows she was last seen in the garage of the low-cost housing complex.”

    The game of chess, at last, is drawing to a close.
