The old live-in nanny is hot, sexy and fierce.
The eldest son, Jiang Lian's marriage is not favored by his father. The second son, Jiang Qi, has a dispute with his father over his sexual orientation. The eldest son's uncertain attitude obviously makes the chairman lack trust in him.
They each have their own problems, so what about Mrs. Jiang
The nanny didn't want to say it.
Jian Jing smiled and deliberately asked a romantic question: "Are they in love?"
The nanny immediately showed a funny expression, half persuading and half joking: "You are still young and don't understand this. A young woman marries an old man. The man wants to be served, and the woman wants money. There is no such thing as love or not."
"I thought the chairman married Mrs. Jiang because he liked her very much," said Jian Jing.
The nanny said, "The boss is not interested in this. His wife is a good woman. She is very polite to us and treats the old and the young well. She is more like a mother than the boss's wife before."
"What kind of person was the boss lady in the past?"
The past events emerged frame by frame, and the nanny fell into recollection: "She and her boss run a company together, and she is rarely at home. I was originally introduced to take care of her during the confinement period, but I ended up taking care of the child. She went back to work as soon as she was out of confinement. She is very capable and smart, a little calculating, and too strong-willed. She insisted on taking that flight to go abroad, and the result... Sigh."
"Have any of the kids mentioned her?"
"Of course not." The nanny said quickly, "The eldest brother didn't want to invite his wife to come in from the beginning, for fear that she would take away the family's money. The boss always said that this was the boss's wife and the boss who started the company together, so why should they give it to outsiders, so there was no wedding."
Jane Jing understood.
The Jiang brothers and sisters obviously believed that Jiangshui Group was founded by their biological mother and father, so they should inherit it. Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xue, one a mistress and one an illegitimate daughter, could share a little bit of the profits, but it was intolerable to let them share the core group shares.
Mrs. Jiang certainly didn't marry the chairman out of love. She could tolerate it normally, but she would never tolerate it when it came to the distribution of the inheritance.
She had an idea in her mind and asked around about other people in the villa.
According to the nanny, in addition to the Jiang family and herself, Secretary Fan, Nurse Yu and Nurse Jiang lived here, and Dr. Tao, Lawyer Cai, the driver and the cook came to work during the day.
Jian Jing asked, "Were Secretary Fan and Nurse Jiang also there the night before yesterday?"
"Yes."
She wanted to talk to Secretary Fan first, but he seemed to have been sent by Jiang Lian to contact the funeral arrangements, so she had to ask Nurse Jiang first.
Nurse Jiang is a nurse hired by the chairman to take care of the chairman. She is a 25-year-old female with a beautiful appearance. She is usually responsible for taking care of the chairman's daily life.
Jian Jing asked: "How long have you been taking care of the chairman?"
"Half a year ago." Nurse Jiang answered awkwardly, "When the chairman's stomach cancer relapsed."
Jian Jing slowed down her tone and said, "Did the chairman say anything to you a few days before he passed away? Or, did you hear him scold anyone?"
Nurse Jiang remained silent.
"Whatever is fine, let's just chat." Jian Jing tried her best to lower her guard.
After a while, the girl said, "Very charming."
"He cursed a lot of people?"
"He thinks..." She raised her eyes and glanced at Jian Jing, and only said after seeing her encouraging look, "He thinks that several children are hoping that he will die soon."
Jian Jing was surprised: "Why?"
"The chairman believes that none of them can manage Jiangshui Group well." Nursing Officer Jiang said, "Ms. Jiang Lian tried to join the board of directors several times, but was stopped by the chairman, who even scolded her for wanting more."
"Anything else?"
Nurse Jiang thought for a moment and continued, "The chairman seemed to have told someone that he was afraid that his wife would remarry after he died, and the money would go into someone else's pocket, so he didn't give her any shares. But his wife has always wanted to join the group."
Jian Jing was thoughtful. This was another clear clue about the will.
"Has anyone else had it?"
Nurse Jiang said, "Miss Jian, cancer patients are suffering every moment. Over the past six months, the chairman's health has been getting worse and worse. He is particularly sensitive about death. The slightest action may make him very angry."
She confessed: "I don't think it makes sense for you to ask this."
"Then let's talk about the night before last." Once the conversation started, Jian Jing introduced the key point.
"You know that day, many people came into his room. Do you remember the chairman's mood?"
Nurse Jiang recalled for a long time before saying, "At about 9:30, the chairman asked me to get him something. He didn't look very happy at the time."
Jian Jing flipped through the notebook. It was 21:30. Wasn't that the time when Jiang Xue left
"What did he say?"
"What do you mean my daughter is so ignorant? Even now, she is still thinking about money. I have never given her less than a penny," said Nurse Jiang.
Jian Jing wrote it down.
"You should have seen the chairman before he fell asleep, right? How was he at that time?"
Nurse Jiang said: "He was a little tired and had difficulty breathing. Nurse Yu gave him an injection and he looked better. I waited until he fell asleep peacefully before leaving."
"What time is that?"
"At least ten minutes, the chairman fell asleep very quickly."
Jian Jing asked: "Where do you stay at night?"
"These past two days, Nurse Yu and I took turns to accompany him at night. The day before yesterday, it was her turn while I was sleeping in the guest room." Nurse Jiang explained very clearly, "At 12:00 a.m., the alarm suddenly sounded, and I hurried over to see Nurse Yu performing CPR on the chairman."
Jian Jing raised her eyebrows: "So, you are the second person to be present at the scene?"
Nurse Jiang nodded.
"Tell me about the scene at that time." She said, "What did you see when you walked in?"
Nurse Jiang immediately said, "The chairman's face has turned blue, and Nurse Yu is performing CPR. The monitor keeps beeping, which is very piercing."
"Is there anything particularly strange?"
Nurse Jiang hesitated and said, "There are a few broken injection bottles on the ground. I wonder if Nurse Yu was too anxious and knocked them over."
"There were broken pieces of glass on the floor when you entered? Are you sure?"
"I remember it very clearly. The fragments almost pierced my slippers," she said.
Jian Jing made another note: "Who came before you?"
Nurse Jiang frowned, revealing a look of reminiscence: "It seems to be Jiang Qi, I didn't pay much attention to him. Everyone was very nervous at the time, not knowing whether he could be saved, and I didn't pay attention to others."
"Is that so..." She pondered, "Are there any other areas that you care about more?"
Nurse Jiang hesitated and was about to speak when the door of the small restaurant was pushed open and Secretary Fan walked in: "Miss Jian is looking for me?"
As he asked, he glanced at Nurse Jiang and frowned slightly.
"Yes, wait until I finish asking Miss Jiang." Jian Jing said.
"I have nothing to say." Nurse Jiang stood up and gave up his seat, taking the opportunity to ask, "Secretary Fan, the chairman has passed away. Do I need to stay here any longer?"
Secretary Fan nodded.
"Well, I hope it's over soon." She turned and left the room.
Jian Jing began to question Secretary Fan.
"Were you here the night before last?"
"Yes, I have always had a guest room in the Jiang family. The chairman might have some temporary instructions." Unlike the strict and cautious Lawyer Cai, Secretary Fan was also tight-lipped, but more tactful.
He seemed to have realized that the chairman had passed away, and the next boss might be one of the Jiang family's children, so even towards the most unlikely Jiang Baiyan, he showed a certain amount of goodwill.
"I went to bed early the day before yesterday and didn't hear any noise. It turned out that I was woken up."
Jian Jing said: "The chairman met with all the children that day. How much do you know about this?"
Secretary Fan pushed his glasses and said thoughtfully, "The chairman is not old, so it's normal for him to want to spend some time with his children."
“But I heard the process was not pleasant.”
"The chairman is just that kind of person. He never said anything soft. At the very least, he wanted to give me some advice, and it sounded like a lesson."
Secretary Fan said sincerely, "Miss Jian, think about it. When someone is about to die, what's the point of scolding the child? He must have given them some instructions. Unfortunately, the young masters and young ladies misunderstood his intention and thought that he would control them in the end."
"Da", turning the fountain pen and tapping her knuckles, Jian Jing said: "I don't quite understand. From what I know, the chairman has a tough style. He wants to take control of the initiative before taking his last breath. This is in line with his temper."
"Well, that's not wrong," Secretary Fan explained. "What I mean is that although the chairman wants to act according to his will at the earliest, he also understands that his body is in bad shape, and the ultimate goal is to hope for everyone's well-being."
Jian Jing did not comment, but asked: "Then, who is the person that the chairman is most worried about?"
Secretary Fan said, "Let's talk about Xiaoxue and Jiangou. One is still young, and the other is uncertain. I'm sure we need to worry about them."
"What about the next generation? Miss Jiang Lian has a child, right?"
Secretary Fan sighed, "When Xiaonan was just born, the chairman loved her very much and even prepared shares for her, but in the past two years..." He shook his head, "After all, she is a stranger, so we have to be on guard."
"Ms. Jiang Lian works for the group. Is she the tacit successor to the group's people?"
Secretary Fan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Yes. However, there are also some traditional people who are optimistic about President Qi, but he has been helping the chairman deal with overseas affairs in the past few years and has not been in the group for a long time."
“Water, energy or communications?”
"Communications." Secretary Fan replied, "Water affairs was in the early 2000s, and energy was about 10 years ago. You can also see that the chairman pays more attention to traditional industries. Communications is still planned by President Qi after he came back.
"To be honest, the chairman was not interested in this kind of high-tech stuff at first. In order to convince him, President Qi designed a set of identification system for the group to improve the coordination efficiency of various departments. Only then did the chairman take out a large sum of money to acquire that American telecommunications company.
"This was done by President Qi himself. I think this point is undoubtedly for him."
Jian Jing asked: "Then who do you think wants the water business in the conversation that Jiang Xue heard?"
Secretary Fan kept silent.
"Don't be nervous."
She smiled, her calm face suddenly brightened and vivid, "We are just chatting about our feelings, not asking you to reveal any secrets. Besides, you have worked with the chairman for so many years, you can't bear to see him die in a muddle."
To be honest, after asking people for confessions many times, you will gradually be able to accurately identify various people.
Some people are honest and willing to cooperate with work; some people have to deliberately say something they disagree with in order to elicit their true thoughts; and some are like Secretary Fan, who for some reason cannot get over a hurdle in their hearts and must be persuaded and reasoned before they can let go of their concerns.
Secretary Fan's lips moved, and his attitude softened in silence: "Mr. Lian's energy is focused on the group, and his wife knows very little about overseas investment."
The implication is Jiang Qi or Jiang Ou.
Since Jiang Qi is almost certain to take over the communications, the chance of him taking over the water supply is smaller than that of Jiang Ou.
Jian Jing nodded: "I'm done asking."
It was still early, so she decided to return to the crime scene to see if she could find more clues.
The body had been sent to the funeral home, and the broken glass on the ground had been cleaned up by the diligent aunt. However, the medicine box was still there, and Jian Jing counted it. There were two left in a box of ten.
Doctor Tao used one, at eleven o'clock, Nurse Yu destroyed one, and the other six were broken.
60 mg is enough to cause acute poisoning.
"Interesting, but why?" she murmured.
The bedroom was not big, and the instruments took up at least half of it, but they were basically piled on the left side. Jian Jing recalled the scene she saw when she came in last time. The chairman was clearly lying on the right side of the bed.
Could it be... She put on gloves, lifted the quilt on the bed, and felt around inch by inch.
This is a mahogany bed, typical Chinese style, with exquisite carvings, and obviously worth a lot of money. But no matter how expensive it is, it can't change one fact - a carved bed is difficult to clean and easily accumulates dust.
There was a thin layer of dust in the area between the bed and the bedside table, but there was one spot that was very clean.
She reached out and gently broke it off.
A secret door popped out from under the bed, revealing a small, all-metal safe.
