Susu felt that what she said was likely the truth; Zhao Jianhua was capable of such things.
Gui Nan continued, "Bank accounts are all registered under real names. At the very least, her ID card would be required when opening the account, and she would have to be present. Therefore, her story would not be accepted by the court."
"You mean the main breakthrough now is with that subsidiary manager," Susu asked.
Gui Nan said with a laugh, "There's something else strange. That subsidiary manager is Xie Zhendong's son-in-law, and it was Zhan Jiayi who had him sent to the police station. However, through this, I do believe Zhan Jiayi is innocent. If she had any illicit dealings with that subsidiary manager, why would she send him to the police?"
Susu asked curiously, "Xie Zhendong's son-in-law? Aren't all of Xie Zhendong's daughters married into wealthy families?"
"Bai Chengyi, have you heard of the Bai family in Lancheng?" Gui Nan asked her.
"I've heard a little."
"A wealthy family in name only, already in decline."
"Why did Zhan Jiayi send him to the police? What did he do?"
Gui Nan replied, "He stole confidential documents from Xie's Group and swindled people in the name of Xie's Group. He owes a lot of money to loan sharks. The Bai family has long been an empty shell."
Susu thought to herself that Xie Zhendong's judgment in choosing a son-in-law wasn't very accurate.
"Then can Zhan Jiayi be released without issue?"
"Currently, the police will definitely prosecute her and Bai Chengyi together. I will do my best to defend her. However, whether the final outcome is good or bad depends on whether I can find new evidence to prove her innocence."
Susu knew that lawyers weren't gods, but since Gui Nan was willing to do his best to help Zhan Jiayi, there was still hope.
"I'm counting on you. If the lawsuit is won, I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat."
"Don't be so polite with me. I consider this lawsuit my duty as your legal consultant. Otherwise, taking your high salary every month without handling much legal work would be embarrassing."
Susu smiled and said, "What are you saying? Regardless, I still have to treat you to a meal."
Gui Nan gave her an 'okay' gesture and said, "Sister Gu, I think you should participate in the annual Best Employer selection. You'll definitely get it."
"Are you teasing me?"
"I'm serious. Employers like you are hard to find nowadays."
"Alright, alright. Your praise is quite welcome."
"Then I'll get back to work." With that, he left the office gallantly.
In the evening, before going to sleep, Susu was still checking the news online, wanting to know the results of the police investigation into the fire at the Xie family mansion.
Tianyi came out of the bathroom, drying his hair. Seeing her sitting on the bed, engrossed in her phone, he understood her nature of worrying about everything. He sat beside her, nudged her with his elbow, and asked, "Still looking at the Xie family news? Do you need to be this focused?"
Susu put away her phone and said, "Oh, just casually looking. Let's go to sleep."
As she spoke, she prepared to lie down and sleep.
Tianyi stopped her and said, "I have something to tell you. I hope it will make you happier."
Susu asked curiously, "What is it that's so mysterious?"
Tianyi looked at her with a serious expression and said, "According to reliable intelligence from An Jing, your brother Yi Feng is with Xi Xianya. And Xi Xianya is pregnant with your brother's child."
Susu was overjoyed at first, asking happily, "Really? Yi Feng can finally start a family..."
But she immediately remembered that Xi Xianya had severely injured Zhao Jianhua, and her joy vanished instantly.
"Wasn't Xi Xianya arrested for assault? How is my brother with her?"
Tianyi told her everything that had happened between Yi Feng and Xi Xianya.
Susu listened to the story, feeling as if she were listening to a touching romance novel, and asked, "Why didn't you ever mention this before?"
Tianyi held her hand and smiled, saying, "At first, we thought Xi Xianya was just trying to use Yi Feng, and we didn't know if their feelings were genuine. I didn't tell you then because I was afraid you would worry. Now it seems they truly love each other. However, as you said, Xi Xianya still has the assault case to deal with. It won't be easy for them to overcome the difficulties and get married and have children."
Susu sighed, feeling that both of Yi Feng's relationships had been so complicated.
However, Xi Xianya was much better than Ai Yiwei; at least she wasn't as scheming and calculating, and she was relatively simple.
"You're saying Xi Xianya is still out on bail? Then if I invite them over for a meal, it would be considered my acceptance of Xi Xianya as my brother's girlfriend."
Tianyi said indifferently, "Whatever you decide, I'm fine with it."
"Alright, I'll call my brother tomorrow." Susu lay down, saying, "My brother is really patient. He hasn't said a word to me about all this."
She thought about it and lamented that there was always something missing in the sibling relationship between her and Yi Feng.
Tianyi felt he had successfully distracted her from the Xie family's affairs. He lay beside her, hugged her, and said, "Don't think too much about it. Yi Feng only recently clarified his relationship with Xi Xianya. If a relationship isn't clearly defined, who would tell their family?"
Susu snuggled into his embrace, not dwelling on the matter. "You're right. It's good that he found love again."
She closed her eyes, feeling a bit tired.
Tianyi kissed her hair. He wanted to be intimate with her, but he found she had already fallen asleep.
He couldn't help but complain, pinching her cheek, and whispered, "I give up on you. Your habit of sleeping and sleeping hasn't changed at all."
Saying that, he yawned and closed his eyes to sleep as well.
The next morning, she contacted Ai Yi Feng and asked him about his relationship with Xi Xianya.
Ai Yi Feng readily admitted it and agreed to bring Xi Xianya over for a casual meal.
Seeing his attitude was acceptable, Susu said, "Brother, from now on, don't keep things from me. If you encounter difficulties, communicate and discuss them with me more. You are my only remaining family member now, we need to help each other."
"I understand. I'll be more mindful in the future."
Susu asked with concern, "When is Xi Xianya's assault case going to trial? Is there a high chance of winning?"
"It's hard to say now, but fortunately, there's a witness who can prove she was cornered at the time, and it should be considered self-defense." Ai Yi Feng was also a bit worried, but he never showed it in front of Xi Xianya.
"That's good. Make sure to notify me and Tianyi when the trial date is set. I want to attend as an observer." Susu smiled and said, "She's suddenly become my sister-in-law, so I can't help but care about her."
"Okay, I'll definitely notify you then."
Susu's mood improved significantly. "Let's set it for tomorrow night. You two come over together, no cancellations."
"No problem." Ai Yi Feng smiled and said, "When did you become so motherly and naggy? Can President Qin handle it?"
Susu said dominantly, "He has to put up with it whether he can or not. We're husband and wife."
