Warm was utterly shocked, her face paling as she stared at each segment of video on the screen. She couldn't comprehend where these clips had come from.
"No, no, no, it's not like this. You're framing me," Warm insisted, refusing to believe they possessed such footage.
At the time, they had confirmed that all videos had been destroyed.
Xiao Fan, exuding an aura of commanding presence, walked up to her, a proud smile gracing his lips. "With your meager skills, you thought you could destroy all the surveillance recordings in our company? You must have forgotten that our company's most popular products are electronics, including various high-end projectors, chips, and the most advanced surveillance systems. Even if you destroy them, they automatically activate other devices. This is our newly developed product, specifically designed to counter criminals like yourselves."
"Oh my goodness, how can someone be so malicious?"
"Oh my goodness, I just insulted Ninth Master. It turns out Ninth Master was framed."
The crowd instantly erupted.
All eyes turned towards Warm, their gazes filled with accusation.
"Hmph, so you're the truly shameless one. You made us all sympathize with you and join you in demanding an explanation. As women, your actions are a complete disgrace to womanhood."
A woman standing next to Warm glared at her in anger.
"No, it's not like this. Listen to me, they framed me. They have immense power and colluded to frame me," Warm argued vehemently.
She had never imagined she would fail.
"It's not like this? They framed you? And you still asked us to boycott their products? Look at the big screen, look at what you've done!"
The woman pointed furiously at the screen.
It was Warm's own face, contorted in an ugly smile.
"Haha… I succeeded. After a while, when I release this recording, Mu Jiu Chen will be ruined, and Jiang Nuan will live in misery forever. Seeing Jiang Nuan suffer makes me so happy. Placing the medicine in the air conditioning was a brilliant idea. Once Mu Jiu Chen turns on the air conditioning in his office, he'll inhale the scent and fall victim. This method is simply perfect."
Warm watched in horror, her mind reeling. How could this happen? How could this happen?
Where did they get these videos?
She couldn't figure it out.
She had personally confirmed that all videos were destroyed.
Warm was in despair!
Jiang Nuan looked at her, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Fortunately, I went to deliver food to my husband that day, saving him from a crisis. You colluded with Lin Yan, my husband's personal bodyguard. All of this is evidence."
"It's not like this, Jiang Nuan, you're lying," Warm shrieked, her voice hoarse with anguish.
Jiang Nuan found it amusing. "Then do you have any other videos to prove I'm lying?"
Warm's body tensed. She had no other videos. Recovering this footage had taken them a tremendous amount of effort.
Mu Jiu Chen was too cautious, far too difficult to deal with.
"No, right?" Jiang Nuan's voice turned sharp.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at Warm and said, "This video was deliberately obtained by you."
It was as if a lightning bolt had struck Warm.
She stared at Mu Jiu Chen in terror. He was the most formidable man she had ever encountered.
The crowd was also stunned. Mu Jiu Chen had such a twisted sense of amusement.
He had deliberately allowed himself to be framed!
The media, armed with their cameras and microphones, fell silent.
Everyone had been outmaneuvered by Mu Jiu Chen.
A true magnate, he had remained composed since his arrival.
It turned out everything was within Ninth Master's grasp.
A profound silence fell over the scene.
"Bang..." An explosion echoed from within the crowd.
"Ah..."
Screams of panic and disarray scattered in all directions.
Mu Jiu Chen narrowed his eyes and gestured, "Action."
Dozens of bodyguards immediately moved into the crowd.
Mu Jiu Chen, with Jiang Nuan in his arms, stepped back a few paces. Jiang Nuan shot him a subtle, reproachful glare.
Mu Jiu Chen smiled tenderly. His Nuan Nuan was truly wonderful!
He hadn't expected her to come. The events of that day had broken her heart.
He had punished himself, yet he still didn't feel as much pain as she did.
Jiang Nuan, watching the crowd disappear into the white smoke, furrowed her brow slightly. "For the other party to risk saving Warm, she must possess something very valuable to them."
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes narrowed with a premonition. "The medicine."
Jiang Nuan had a vague suspicion. "Looking at his eyes just now, I think I know who she is."
"Who?" Mu Jiu Chen's narrowed eyes glinted with killing intent.
He knew today's events wouldn't allow him to capture everyone behind the plot, but he could clean out the rot within the company.
Those ungrateful wretches, living off his money and then betraying him – that was what he detested most.
Everything was under his control. Ever since Warm had appeared, he had been laying his traps.
He had initially suspected Mu Yun Lei was behind it all, given his immense ambition.
But after a few days of investigation, it turned out not to be him.
A chilling glint flickered in Jiang Nuan's eyes. "It should be Yan Xi."
Mu Jiu Chen chuckled. "Your elder brother's former fiancée, who was all the rage across the nation."
Jiang Nuan: "..."
"She's trying to escape," Jiang Nuan said, watching Mu Jiu Chen.
Mu Jiu Chen smirked. "Nuan Nuan, it's even more fun when she runs." The person behind her hasn't been found yet. We must find them to uproot them completely.
Jiang Nuan's gaze flickered, and she asked with a smile, "Mu Jiu Chen, how did you become so wicked?"
Mu Jiu Chen's captivating eyes gazed deeply into hers, and he leaned in to whisper in her ear, "Nuan Nuan, that's because you don't know me."
That same sentence again. Lately, she had felt his unspoken resentment.
"I'm leaving. You have many things to handle next."
As she moved to go, Mu Jiu Chen quickly grabbed her, his voice stern. "Where are you going?"
Jiang Nuan: "Home to sleep." Did he not know what he had done last night?
"Wait for me," Mu Jiu Chen said, holding her back.
"I'm tired." Jiang Nuan was genuinely exhausted; her body tired easily now.
"I know, wife. We'll go back soon." Mu Jiu Chen emphasized the word "wife," his smile profound and full of happiness.
He had waited a long time for that word.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She had only wanted to help him. No matter how angry she was, she didn't want to see him slandered by everyone.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, handle everything here. Send those who need to be sent to the police station."
Xiao Fan looked at the chaotic scene. He had to stay and clean up the mess, his entire being filled with reluctance.
"Master, Warm has escaped," Xiao Fan couldn't help but exclaim.
Mu Jiu Chen: "Mm, I saw. Have Chen Feng's people keep a close watch on her."
Xiao Fan: "..." Master, this hide-and-seek game is making us so tired. Can't you give the workers a break?
"No, Master, I've been working too hard lately. My hairline has receded quite a bit, and most importantly, I don't have a wife yet," Xiao Fan complained.
Mu Jiu Chen looked at Jiang Nuan and smiled proudly. "I already have a wife and child. You don't even have a girlfriend. While you still have hair, get to it!"
With that, he took Jiang Nuan's hand and rode off on a motorcycle.
