Nan Yi understood, pushed open the door, and walked in.
Xue Qilin heard someone enter and slowly raised his head.
Nan Yi sat down opposite him with a cold face.
Xue Qilin roared hysterically, "Why did you arrest me? I don't know anything, let me out!"
Lan Yuxi, standing outside the door, snorted coldly, walked to another interrogation room farther away, pushed open the door, and went in.
The person inside stood up quickly when she entered.
"Boss, you're here."
Lan Yuxi curled her lips slightly, "Mm, you all go rest for a while. I'll chat with Patriarch Xue."
"Yes!"
A fierceness shot from Patriarch Xue's eagle-like eyes, "Why is it you?! So this was all a scheme by you and Nan Xiao!"
Lan Yuxi shook her head with a smile, "Nan Xiao doesn't have the ability to invite you here. This is Mei, and the staff clearly explained when they apprehended you, right? Patriarch Xue, welcome to Mei for a visit. You are the first guest specially approved by the Prime Minister to visit."
"What did you say?! Zheng Yuan had you arrest me? That's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
"There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Don't you even understand this?" Lan Yuxi crossed her legs and took out her phone to send a WeChat message to Qiao Yufan.
She thought Qiao Yufan wouldn't see it until tomorrow morning, but she replied instantly.
The two chatted back and forth in the interrogation room.
Patriarch Xue watched with cold eyes at first, but the more he watched, the more uneasy he became. This woman was poisonous, playing on her phone in an interrogation room. Also, she said Zheng Yuan was framing him. At first, he half-believed it, but now, he thought Zheng Yuan was definitely capable of such a thing.
The two families had always been at odds, openly and secretly, over the position of Prime Minister. Now, they were arguing fiercely over their children's affairs. That old fox had found leverage against him and would definitely crush him into the dirt, preventing him from ever recovering. This way, he would have one less competitor.
But he wasn't the only one who played dirty. Hadn't he gathered enough information on that old fox over the years? Now, it depended on how far that old fox wanted to push him. If the other party went for the kill, then he wouldn't be blamed for biting back!
Lan Yuxi observed secretly, knowing his mentality had shifted. She smirked triumphantly.
"Ding—" Another message popped up. However, this message was not from Qiao Yufan but from Nan Yi.
After reading the message, Lan Yuxi suddenly looked up at Patriarch Xue, "Xue Jiayong, if your son dares to spout nonsense and drag Prime Minister Zheng into this again, I won't hesitate to make him shut up forever!"
Xue Jiayong was stunned, "You arrested Qilin too? He doesn't know anything, why did you arrest him!"
Lan Yuxi said sternly, "He doesn't know anything, so why would he say that the chemical plant in Daliang Mountain was jointly built by you and the Zheng family?"
Xue Jiayong's gaze deepened, "What he said is true, the Zheng family does have shares in that chemical plant."
"Where is the contract?"
Patriarch Xue sneered, "I won't tell you where the contract is. Give Zheng Yuan a message, tell him to let me out, or no one will get out!"
Lan Yuxi grabbed his collar and said fiercely, "Do you know how many people you've harmed? Wanting to get out? Dream on! If this were ancient times, I would have you dismembered a thousand times, to seek justice for the villagers you harmed, who lost their lives and their health!"
"Tell that to Zheng Yuan, he was the one who sought my cooperation!"
Lan Yuxi sneered, pushed him away, and walked out.
In the early hours of the morning, Lan Yuxi and her team retrieved the contract from the home of Xue Jiayong's third wife.
After obtaining the contract, Lan Yuxi rushed to the presidential office.
Looking at Zheng Yuan's signature on the contract, Ming Zicheng's gaze deepened, "Keep it confidential for now. We'll arrest him when Nan Xiao returns."
Lan Yuxi frowned slightly, "Er Wan, Nan Xiao's ambitions are not in this. Must you drag him into this?"
Ming Zicheng clasped his hands together and squeezed them hard, "Senior Sister, besides the two of you, I have no one else to trust. Also, whether Nan Xiao's ambitions lie here or not, only he himself knows. If that incident hadn't happened, his position might have been mine."
"..."
"He's content with his wife and three children now, but is that really all a man's ambition is? To have immense aspirations in his heart and only turn them towards family and wife and children is truly a disservice to him."
"How do you know he's being wronged? He's perfectly happy!"
Ming Zicheng's mouth twitched, "Haven't you visited Master in a while? Why don't you go see him? He's been mentioning you a lot these past few days."
Lan Yuxi bit her lip and pointed at him, "You want Master to be a lobbyist? No way!"
"Master dotes on you the most. If he's willing to be a lobbyist for me, there must be a reason. You might as well hear his thoughts."
Lan Yuxi hesitated for a moment, "Is there any news from Nan Xiao?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon. He's never failed except when he's with you."
Lan Yuxi pursed her lips and turned to leave.
Ming Zicheng quickly followed, "Senior Sister, please stay for breakfast at my place before you go."
Lan Yuxi gave a wicked smile, "Yan Chuting is a sales representative at my pharmaceutical factory. I'll call her right now and ask her to come over to have breakfast with you."
Ming Zicheng stumbled, almost falling, "Senior Sister, don't do that."
"If you force me to do something I don't want to do, I'll make Yan Chuting bother you every day!"
"I'm not forcing you. If you talk to Master and still disagree, I definitely won't bring it up again." Ming Zicheng pitifully grabbed Lan Yuxi's hand, "Senior Sister, I know you don't want Nan Xiao to be too tired, but if someone like him spends his whole life confined to a small company like Nan Shi, he'll regret it when he's old."
Lan Yuxi forcefully shook his hand off and stormed out indignantly.
"Senior Sister..." Ming Zicheng watched her retreating figure and shook his head helplessly.
"Dududu..." As soon as Lan Yuxi sat in the car, Elder Hong's call came through.
Lan Yuxi puffed out her rosy cheeks and answered the phone.
"Xi'er, today's breakfast is your favorite Xiao Long Bao. Do you want to come and have some with your Master?"
"Hmph!"
"Huh? Who made you angry so early in the morning?"
"Who else but you and Er Wan?"
"I just opened my eyes and haven't even seen you yet, how could I have made you angry?"
"You don't love me anymore, you only love Er Wan!"
"Hahaha... you're always trying to trick me first thing in the morning. Hurry up and come over, or those little brats will snatch all your Xiao Long Bao."
Lan Yuxi touched her empty stomach, "If they dare to snatch my food, I'll beat them to death when I get there!"
Elder Hong laughed heartily, "Then hurry up!"
