Mu Jiuchen stood outside the police station, watching Han Yifan in white clothes and white pants. In the night, his handsome face was chiseled, his demeanor clean. Mu Jiuchen’s voice was indifferent, "He came to bail out Nuannuan, bringing evidence."
"Where did he get the evidence?" Number One asked, confused.
During this time, he had been observing Han Yifan's every move and had noticed something was off about him.
His personality was unpredictable, and he had always been worried, trying his best to finish his tasks quickly each day to spend time with him.
But Han Yifan always wore a smiling face. Looking at his handsome smile, as dazzling as the sun, it melted away all his doubts.
Mu Jiuchen glanced at Han Yifan again and said indifferently, "I don't know."
He couldn't let Han Yifan disrupt his plans.
"I'll be there immediately," Number One said and hung up the phone.
Han Yifan looked at Mu Jiuchen, his smile laced with mockery, "Can you bear to watch Nuannuan go to jail? This place has tainted her; I feel it has no reason to exist anymore."
Looking at his innocent and harmless smile, his words were incredibly cruel.
What did "no reason to exist" mean?
"Han Yifan, you should leave. I will save Nuannuan," Mu Jiuchen's thin lips, crimson in color, spoke clearly with a firm tone.
Hearing this, Han Yifan chuckled again, his gaze towards Mu Jiuchen turning disdainful, "It's been almost two days, and you still haven't saved her. Since you can't protect her, let someone else protect her."
Han Yifan did not hide his ambition.
Mu Jiuchen's expression instantly turned cold. His eyes, as dark as the night, reflected the surrounding lights, flickering like icy glints.
Mu Jiuchen asked sarcastically, "You?"
Han Yifan retorted with a smile, "Is there anyone more suitable than me?"
Mu Jiuchen watched Han Yifan no longer conceal his ambition and sneered back, "You think highly of yourself, don't you?"
Han Yifan was not offended. His sole purpose for this trip was Jiang Nuan, and he had come only for her.
"You can understand it that way," Han Yifan turned to head into the police station to clear Jiang Nuan's name.
"Stop!" Mu Jiuchen quickly blocked his path.
A hint of anger finally appeared on Han Yifan's face, "Mu Jiuchen, you've already delayed me for ten minutes. With this time, you might as well check your stocks; they're about to hit the limit down, aren't they?"
Mu Jiuchen's expression remained unchanged, "I, Mu Jiuchen, do not care about this little bit of money."
Han Yifan let out a faint smile, "You certainly have the right to say that. However, I am going to save Nuannuan. If you are incapable of saving her, then do not obstruct me from saving her."
"Bang..." With the sound of a car door closing, Number One's voice was heard, "Yifan."
Han Yifan frowned unhappily upon hearing his cousin's voice.
Number One rushed to Han Yifan's side and said, "Yifan, stop fooling around and come back with me."
Han Yifan was stubborn, "I want to save Nuannuan!"
"You can, I will save her. You wait obediently at home, and in three days, I guarantee she will be out."
Han Yifan remained stubborn, his expression gradually turning cold. He couldn't wait three days. "I want to save her now. These idiots, they want to lock her up with insufficient evidence. I do not agree."
"Do not agree with what?" Song Yang emerged, looking at the three of them and asking.
Was this the courtyard of an ordinary family?
Why were they making such a commotion here so casually?
Han Yifan looked at Song Yang indifferently, "Are you that idiot?"
Song Yang: "..." She had only come to join in the excitement and ended up being insulted?
"Sir, who are you? Do I know you? Why are you cursing at me like this?" Song Yang immediately got angry. Her slightly aggressive features made her face even more deep-set and sharp.
She glared at Han Yifan. If he uttered another disrespectful word, she would dare to punch him.
Calling her foolish was acceptable when it came from Jiang Nuan, as Jiang Nuan was her rival. But who was this person, and what right did he have to call her stupid?
Han Yifan said coldly, "You idiot, how dare you be so arrogant in front of me! Today, I will show you just how stupid you are!"
"Yifan, stop," Number One restrained him, pulling Han Yifan behind him.
He then smiled at Song Yang and said apologetically, "Captain Song, please don't take it to heart. He's drunk. I'll take him back now. I apologize for his disrespect towards you. I'm sorry!"
Han Yifan: "..."
"Brother, what are you apologizing for? She's just an idiot."
Song Yang moved to punch him, but Number One blocked her.
"Captain Song, don't trouble yourself with disciplining him. I'll take him back now."
Number One pulled him, "Let's go, let's go."
"I'm not going." Han Yifan turned to argue with Song Yang. As he turned, Number One acted quickly.
"Slap..."
He struck him with a palm, knocking him unconscious.
Mu Jiuchen: "..."
He had wanted to do that for a long time.
"Haha..." Number One laughed and looked at Song Yang, "Captain Song, I apologize, but I must be going now."
Number One helped Han Yifan into the car and left.
Mu Jiuchen also turned and got into his car, ignoring Song Yang.
Song Yang sneered, her expression very displeased. Being cursed at really made it difficult to feel better.
"Mu Jiuchen."
Mu Jiuchen paused in his step towards the car, turned, and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.
Song Yang looked at the dazzling man before her. His features were deep and cold, and his eyes held no warmth. Yet, even with his coldness, he emanated a captivating radiance.
"You also think I did something wrong?" she asked unwillingly.
Mu Jiuchen replied, "The law is just and fair. With the evidence, how could Captain Song think she was wrong?"
After speaking, Mu Jiuchen got into the car.
Song Yang: "..."
She turned and went home to rest in frustration.
...
Lu Jinyan and Lu Jincheng found Mr. Wang at a restaurant.
The two brothers watched as Mr. Wang entered a private room.
They followed suit. Mr. Wang was attending a business engagement that evening, focused solely on discussing business and nothing else.
Despite the loss of his elderly mother, he still faced his business partners with a smile.
The brothers did not rush, waiting outside.
However, by past eleven o'clock, when Mr. Wang left, they had not discovered anything unusual.
"Brother, should we follow him home?" Lu Jinyan asked.
"Yes! We must find the evidence and apprehend the culprit who framed Nuannuan," Lu Jincheng narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint within them.
Lu Jinyan glanced at his second brother and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you. Don't be surprised, Ye Anran is Lu Qiaoyi."
"What!" Lu Jincheng was stunned. "Wasn't her body discovered some time ago? Eldest Brother even spent a night in the well because of it. How could she still be alive?" Lu Jincheng looked at his brother in disbelief.
"Alas! That was her cleverness, but she didn't expect that Nuannuan had seen through her identity long ago. Moreover, she also knew that among us three brothers, I was the most foolish, and she targeted me first."
"Pfft..." Lu Jincheng then chuckled insincerely.
Lu Jinyan was somewhat annoyed, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
