"Speaking of this, I get so angry. This kind of ’kill a thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of your own’ tactic, only Yu Xiuzhun could co up with. What, is he retaliating against us for shutting down the Yu family’s pub last ti?"
Jiang Jinchen seed baffled at how such a person could exist, both furious and frustrated.
"I heard Yu Yueman got a hefty sentence—she’ll be behind bars for over ten years. Yu Xiuzhun snapping under the pressure is understandable." Dan Hanjie curled his lips into a cold smile.
"By the way, the impact of this incident is imnse. Yaya told the Major Cris Unit has already intervened in the investigation. Even she’s being blocked from gathering intel because she’s my wife."
Jiang Jinchen paused for a mont. "When I pulled up the surveillance from that night, besides Yu Xiuzhun, I found soone unexpected. Let send it to you."
"Beep, beep—"
A notification for a file received sounded.
Imdiately after, Qin Youxuan heard a slightly surprised voice from Dan Hanjie. "Ye Mingi?"
"Yeah, it’s Ye Mingi. Last night, she entered Zhi Shang alongside Yu Xiuzhun, grabbed everyone’s attention by performing a flashy dance, and as you can see from the surveillance footage, the two of them kissed right there in the hallway. That kind of relationship—I still can’t figure it out. Could it be you have a mole close to you?"
"..."
Dan Hanjie didn’t respond, but the hand resting on the table slowly clenched into a fist.
Qin Youxuan knew all too well what that gesture ant.
When she heard Dan Hanjie utter that na, she couldn’t help but feel startled herself.
She almost couldn’t stop herself from barging into the study.
By the ti she collected herself, she’d already missed part of the conversation in the study. Dan Hanjie ended by saying he’d handle it, then closed the video call.
Just as Qin Youxuan was grappling with whether to enter or leave, she heard his low voice ring out.
"Heard enough? Co in."
"..."
Qin Youxuan lightly knocked her own head—her stealth was abysmal; she’d been caught imdiately.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Youxuan finally pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The mont she t Dan Hanjie’s deep, dark eyes, she instinctively raised her hands to declare her innocence. "I just ca to call you downstairs for breakfast. Who knew your study door was open? I didn’t want to disturb you, so I just happened to listen for a bit outside."
Yes, just happened to. Definitely not intentional eavesdropping.
"What’s your take on Ye Mingi?" Dan Hanjie extended his hand toward her, not pursuing her eavesdropping, and directly asked.
Qin Youxuan walked over to him and sat down beside him.
After a mont of hesitation, she finally replied, "If I said I believe in Ye Mingi, would you think I’m too foolish?"
"A bit naive. What’s your reasoning?" Dan Hanjie twirled a strand of her long hair in his fingers, lowering his gaze to look at her.
"It’s not that I have any particularly good reason—it’s just a feeling. Ye Mingi gave up her inheritance rights with the Ye Family and testified for in court. There’s no logic to her wanting to harm ."
Qin Youxuan bit her lip and continued analyzing.
"At the ti, she was under Yu Xiuzhun’s threat and had no choice but to compromise. Now that she’s at a club with Yu Xiuzhun, it’s entirely possible he forcibly brought her there. A few photos prove nothing."
"Dancing so intimately with him, their chemistry couldn’t have been faked, especially at such a sensitive ti. Based on that alone, I have more than enough reason to suspect that what happened at Zhi Shang has sothing to do with Ye Mingi."
Dan Hanjie’s face darkened, his expression turning ice cold.
