Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback! novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Chapter 4 She Can Actually Tell Fortunes?!

Mrs. Qiao regretted her words as soon as they left her mouth.

Whether Jiang Yan can be found or not was another matter. Her original aim in agreeing to this marriage was to gain some benefit from the Jiang Family. Otherwise, who would want to marry their daughter to someone so unreliable?

If she agreed to annul the engagement unconditionally, how would she gain any advantage?

However, before she could change her words, Jiang Li in front of her had already raised her phone, playing back the ruthless words she had just uttered in a moment of panic,

"Alright, if you can find Jiang Yan today, I'll agree to annul the engagement unconditionally!"

Jiang Li looked at her, a faint smile on her lips, "Mrs. Qiao, this is evidence, and with so many witnesses around, you can't go back on your word later."

Mrs. Qiao's face turned pale, and she whispered, "Let's talk about it after you find him."

Now she just hoped Jiang Yan was gone for good!

This way, her daughter wouldn't have to marry into the family, and she could even gain some shares for security!

Jiang Li put away her phone, turned around, and pulled her mother Lin Manru aside.

Lin Manru was still overwhelmed by the drastic change in her daughter's character. She was in a daze for a long time before she asked, "Do you really have a way to find your brother?"

Jiang Yan's disappearance happened over half a month ago. That night, she just revealed the marriage alliance between the Jiang and Qiao families to him. He got angry and disappeared without a trace overnight.

She knew her son's temperament well, so she hadn't bothered him, figuring that as long as his spending records were active, she could trace him.

But a few days ago, his card stopped showing activity, and she couldn't get any information about him either.

She was petrified and quickly mobilized the Jiang Family's resources to investigate, but there was no result so far.

As the engagement banquet of the two families approached, fearing any mishap would upset the old master and ruin the marriage, Lin Manru reluctantly hosted this banquet.

Yet, it was ruined anyway.

Jiang Li hummed in response, then held her mother's hand.

For some reason, Lin Manru, who was initially uncomfortable, suddenly calmed down due to Jiang Li's hum and this handholding gesture.

Because she felt an inexplicable, reassuring strength emanating from her daughter.

But before Lin Manru could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a puzzling statement,

"Give me Jiang Yan's birthdate, it has to be precise to the two-hour mark."

Lin Manru showed confusion, "Why do you need such a thing to find your brother?"

Jiang Li couldn't quite explain it just yet.

After she found herself in the Daqi Dynasty, she was discovered by the State Preceptor at a young age and became his last disciple, learning all sorts of mysticism skills.

While her expertise wasn't honed to her master's level of distinguishing yin and yang or altering fate, she was capable of calculating fortunes and deducing locations.

In the novel, Jiang Yan was the female lead's number one follower. Although his ending was tragic, his fate wasn't short-lived and he wouldn't end easily.

And in her memory, Jiang Yan deliberately disappeared to escape the marriage, although in her past life, she was so indifferent to family matters that she knew little about this part of the plot.

But from the current perspective, retrieving Jiang Yan and calling off this marriage was the best strategy.

"Mother, just tell me. I have a way, don't worry."

Jiang Li's voice was soft and gentle, yet it carried an inexplicable steadiness which made people feel comforted upon hearing it.

Seeing the determined light in her daughter's eyes, Lin Manru gradually dispelled her doubts.

Since things had escalated to this point, she figured it was better to try an unconventional approach; as long as Jiang Yan could be found, it would work.

After obtaining Jiang Yan's birthdate, Jiang Li gave a few more instructions before heading out.
