Madame Jiang froze, turning in surprise to see Han Yixuan leaning against the door, his handsome face creased with a mocking smile.
Her expression instantly turned angry. She looked at him thoughtfully, "Han Yixuan, what do you mean?"
From her understanding of Han Yixuan, he couldn't have acquired such a terrifying amount of information in just one night.
The night Jiang Yu was taken away, she wasn't worried because she knew Han Yixuan didn't know much.
She was confident she could have Han Yixuan imprisoned first.
But she didn't know where things went wrong, and in the end, she was the one imprisoned first.
This man before her, she didn't believe he was harder to understand than Mu Jiuchen.
"Heh heh..." he chuckled, straightening up. His slender figure wasn't broad, rather on the thin side. He smiled at her, "Madame Jiang, I'm very satisfied with this outcome. Are you?"
He didn't answer her question.
Madame Jiang frowned, "Are you referring to my situation here?"
"Exactly," he said, walking slowly inside. "Don't worry, you're already a discarded pawn. Just stay here properly, alright?"
"What did you say?" Madame Jiang's eyes filled with hatred.
What did his words mean?
How could Han Yixuan say something like that?
Han Yixuan didn't give her the answer she wanted, and turned to leave.
The dim screen of the monitoring room returned to normal.
The moment the door was closed, Madame Jiang collapsed onto the floor. She couldn't understand why she had become a discarded pawn. She should have been released today, but hearing the words "discarded pawn," she knew her fate. Her face turned ashen, and she fainted.
...
Jiang Nuan waited outside the meeting room for a while before seeing Han Yixuan slowly walk towards her.
The man's slightly thin figure was stretched long by the sunlight.
"Nuan Nuan, have I resolved your doubts?" Han Yixuan asked with a smile, his voice gentle, his smile as captivating as a spring breeze.
Jiang Nuan gazed at him deeply.
He had a hint of a roguish charm, but it was well hidden.
She nodded, "Not yet."
Indeed not. She had only grasped another layer of meaning from Madame Jiang's words.
Madame Jiang was not the final person. That person was in Qi Guo. She hadn't managed to extract any more information from Madame Jiang.
"Would you like me to help you investigate?" Han Yixuan asked.
Jiang Nuan lowered her eyes slightly, refusing him, "No need. One day, the truth will be revealed."
She turned and slowly walked out.
Han Yixuan watched her fresh and elegant back, his smile deepening. She was truly a woman who didn't rely on men.
If she had just asked him, he would have told her the truth, but she wanted to investigate it herself.
Han Yixuan smiled and followed her. He liked her persistence, her heroic spirit, and her beauty and charm.
Mu Jiuchen saw them walking out hand in hand. He looked at Han Yixuan and said nonchalantly, "Thank you! We'll be going now."
Han Yixuan nodded faintly, "Alright!"
Mu Jiuchen took Jiang Nuan's hand and they got into the car and left.
Han Yixuan stood in place, squinting as he watched their car drive away.
Mu Jiuchen really stayed by Nuan Nuan's side like a shadow.
He also walked to his car parked by the roadside and drove away.
...
In the car, Jiang Nuan was silent, not saying a word.
Mu Jiuchen saw that she seemed preoccupied.
"Nuan Nuan, did you find anything out?"
Jiang Nuan brought her thoughts back, looking at his exquisite profile, and said, "No, Madame Jiang wouldn't tell me anything. Regarding the C.h Institute, I always feel there's something we don't know."
"I always feel like we're overlooking something. Madame Jiang alone, no matter how much power she had, even with Lin Zeyan and Yan Xi, just these two couldn't have achieved gene research experiments. I tested Lin Zeyan. He has no talent in this area. I poisoned him, and he couldn't even analyze the components of the poison. He's just passionate, not proficient. In gene analysis, he's only touched the surface and doesn't understand."
Mu Jiuchen didn't understand these matters, but he shared her suspicion.
"Nuan Nuan, don't you think Han Yixuan is suspicious?" he asked, voicing his doubt.
Jiang Nuan looked at him calmly. He had noticed it too.
"It wasn't him. From the moment Madame Jiang was apprehended, that person wasn't Han Yixuan."
Jiang Nuan also shared her thoughts.
"If he knew so many things, he would have acted long ago, not waited until now."
Mu Jiuchen frowned and slowly asked, "Then where is the real Han Yixuan?"
Jiang Nuan found Han Yixuan's home address on her phone and said, "Let's go check out his place."
Jiang Nuan sent the address to Mu Jiuchen. Mu Jiuchen turned on the navigation and drove towards Han Yixuan's house.
When they reached Han Yixuan's doorstep, Jiang Nuan rang the doorbell.
Han Yixuan, who was tied to the sofa, heard the doorbell and a flicker of hope appeared on his weary face.
His first guess was Jiang Nuan.
But seeing his hands and feet tied, he couldn't go to open the door.
This damned Han Yifan made him so angry he could die.
He wanted to roll over and kick the door to alert the person outside, but he hesitated.
Was Han Yifan really doing this for Jiang Nuan?
Why did he feel Han Yifan had other things to do?
Was Han Yifan only doing this because of Jiang Nuan?
Han Yixuan abandoned his thought and let this opportunity to seek help pass.
He had to know what Han Yifan was trying to do.
Why was he preventing him from investigating his father's death?
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen waited for a while, but no one opened the door.
The couple then left Han Yixuan's house.
On the other side, Han Yifan came up in the elevator and saw Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen's retreating figures. He was slightly surprised. What brought them here?
After watching the couple enter the elevator, he slowly walked over to open the door.
Opening the door, he saw his cousin sitting on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Han Yixuan saw Han Yifan return and trembled with rage. He had tied him to the bed yesterday, and today he tied him to the sofa. Who knew where he would tie him tomorrow?
He asked angrily, "Where have you been?"
And he had gone out impersonating his face.
If he had used his face to do bad things, what would he do?
Damn it, he shouldn't have let go of that one chance just now!
Han Yifan tore off the mask on his face and then said, "Brother, I went to help Nuan Nuan. She met with Madame Jiang."
Han Yixuan looked at him and asked doubtfully, "What did Nuan Nuan meet Madame Jiang for?"
Han Yifan shook his head with a strange smile, "I don't know."
Han Yixuan frowned. Jiang Nuan meeting Madame Jiang must be about an unresolved matter, otherwise, she wouldn't usually meet people who were detained in a holding facility.
"Brother, Nuan Nuan is really observant. She seems to have realized that I'm not you?" Han Yifan said, looking at him with feigned innocence.
Han Yixuan frowned and angrily questioned, "You didn't use my face to do anything bad, did you?"
If that were the case, he would definitely cripple this brat and send him back to his father.
Han Yifan leaned back on the sofa with a playful smile and said, "Brother, guess?"
