Chapter 62 : Jiang Hongfu (3)
Jiang Hongfu asked a lot of questions while they were on the road, but the gray-clad man would either remain silent or answered with 'did not know'.
The coachman suddenly said from outside, "Mister, the Jiang's residence is up ahead."
The gray-clad man immediately carried Jiang Hongfu out of the carriage like he was a chicken, then threw a piece of silver to the driver and said, "Go!" The carriage was obviously rented by him.
Once they got off the carriage, they could see the Jiang Residence gate. At this moment, Jiang Residence people were busy coming in and out. By the look of it, they knew something had happened to the family. The gray-clad man asked, "Is this your home?"
Jiang Hongfu nodded and answered, "It's my home." Since both of them had arrived at the door of his house, he finally believed the man's words.
The gray-clad man stated, "I've finished my job, so take care of yourself!" This five hundred taels of silver gave him a really good earning. There was no risk at all. It was just like he was playing house. It would be nice if the escort agency could often receive such business.
There was something else that Jiang Hongfu wanted to say, but when he looked up, the man in gray had gone. At this time, Jiang Hongfu was also discovered by some people of the Jiang Residence. "Eldest Young Master..." After that, the man who had called him, came rus.h.i.+ng towards him like an arrow.
A dozen people of the Jiang Residence ran over and saw Jiang Hongfu in good condition. They were all pleasantly surprised when they heard their colleague called out "Eldest Young Master..." Just now, they heard the news that Eldest Young Master had gone missing, and his personal attendant had been killed by a carriage. Now that the mansion were in the condition where both men and horses are thrown off their feet (Chinese idiom : thrown into confusion), they didn't expect that Eldest Young Master would suddenly appear out of thin air.
Jiang Hongfu asked coldly, "Has Dad return home yet?"
The concierge shook his head and said, "Master has not returned yet, but when Madam got the news saying that something has happened to Young Master, she immediately sent someone to invite Master back home."
Jiang Hongfu slightly said, "I see." After that, he returned to his yard and did not go to the backyard to inform Yu s.h.i.+ of his safe return.
When Yu s.h.i.+ heard Jiang Hongfu's return, her face changed. However, her heart was pretty good in adapting, so she quickly contained her panic. She asked while looking anxious, "How is Eldest Young Master?"
The porter who came to tell the news shook his head and said, "Except for some messy hair and clothes, Eldest Young Master looks fine."
The moment Jiang Hongfu finally entered his yard, Yu s.h.i.+ took a maid and an old woman to Jiang Hongfu's yard. Looking at Jiang Hongfu still in one piece, Yu s.h.i.+'s eyes turned red as she said, "You scared me to death just now, son."
Since Jiang Hongfu's grandfather and cousin had warned him before about his stepmother, even if Yu s.h.i.+ again being good to him, he would always act indifferent. Now, he was very suspicious of Yu s.h.i.+, making him won't be easily taken by her good face. However, since he had no evidence for now, he will not question anything. He only said, "I'm fine. It just that Ah San has gone." Ah San was Jiang Hongfu's dead personal attendant.
Yu s.h.i.+ saw the coldness in Jiang Hongfu's eyes and her pupils recoiled, but her face was still looking anxious. She stated, "I've called a doctor. Let him have a good look at you."
Jiang Hongfu replied, "No, I only dirtied my clothes and everything else is fine." After a pause, he said, "Mother, I need to take a shower and change my clothes first."
