Shen Xizhou thought about what happened yesterday. He glanced at Yan Bai and said, "Did you investigate what I asked you to look into before?"
Hearing Shen Xizhou's words, Yan Bai immediately put down the matter at hand and said, "I've almost finished investigating this. But there are still a few things I need to sort out."
"Mm," Shen Xizhou responded softly, then seemed to recall something and said seriously, "Clarify the matter as soon as possible."
After saying this, Yan Bai left.
Shen Xizhou kept thinking.
...
On Nangong Jin's side, he noticed that An Nuan's mood seemed very off today.
He asked Huo Yuxuan to investigate, and Huo Yuxuan acted quickly, soon uncovering all the details.
"By the way, have you investigated the matter I asked you to look into?" Nangong Jin wasn't this anxious originally.
But remembering that An Nuan had been hurt by those people again, he could no longer sit still.
"Huo Yuxuan, directly investigate the matter of Xia Wanqing. Have you clarified it?"
"Xia Wanqing harmed An Nuan so terribly last time, yet she didn't pay the price she deserved."
"An Nuan said to let this matter go."
But now those people were simply too excessive. They absolutely deserved to be punished.
Huo Yuxuan quickly said, "The matter has been investigated very clearly."
Nangong Jin said casually, "Then, please upload this matter."
After saying this, Nangong Jin put aside his work matters. He, however, was thinking about how he could make An Nuan happy.
When Huo Yuxuan walked out, he was completely bewildered.
Was this matter his to handle? He had to admit, it was a thankless task.
There was a reason why Nangong Jin chose to do this.
As Huo Yuxuan pondered what to do next, he met Li Tian's gaze and felt he had nothing to say.
His gaze fell on Li Tian, and he said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly."
Li Tian told him about what had happened to An Nuan.
Huo Yuxuan had only one thought: these people were truly asking for trouble.
They had originally intended to let them go. But these people were some who courted disaster.
They kept bothering An Nuan.
Huo Yuxuan thought, Shen Xizhou was also a strange person. Since he had Xu Ruowei by his side, why did he insist on revolving around An Nuan?
Some people's thoughts were truly unfathomable.
Huo Yuxuan thought that Nangong Jin's anger this time was indeed understandable.
If it were him, he would also be angry.
Nangong Jin truly loved An Nuan deeply.
He was willing to do anything for An Nuan.
Finally, as per Nangong Jin's instructions, Huo Yuxuan sent all the messy details about Xia Wanqing to Ji Wenyun.
Since Xia Wanqing liked to falsely accuse people so much, then let Ji Wenyun know everything. Let's see how she would explain herself and escape this predicament.
After Huo Yuxuan had handled everything, he briefed Nangong Jin and then left with Li Tian.
He had promised Li Tian that he would definitely take her out. He couldn't break his word.
The next day.
An Nuan was ready early.
She wanted to tell Nangong Jin tonight that she had agreed to him. From now on, her life would only have him, no more Shen Xizhou.
However, as An Nuan waited, two men appeared beside her.
The two men were getting closer and closer to An Nuan. An Nuan felt a bad premonition in her heart. The way the two men looked at her was too sinister, making her feel uncomfortable all over.
As she tried to get away, her hands were directly grabbed by the two men.
As she tried to shout, she felt a cold sensation from behind.
It was a knife. Pressed against her back.
At this moment, An Nuan's face turned extremely grim.
She didn't recognize these two men. That meant someone had sent them.
Was it Xu Ruowei? Or Xia Wanqing? Because besides them, there was no one else.
An Nuan dared not to shout loudly. She opened her phone and directly pressed the call button. She didn't know who she had called. At this moment, she could only pray that Nangong Jin would answer the phone, and believe that Nangong Jin wouldn't be annoyed and would happen to receive her call.
An Nuan quickly put away her phone. This was the only thing she had to connect with the outside world.
She would not allow herself to lose it.
Seeing that their plan was about to succeed, the two men took An Nuan away with them, their faces filled with smug smiles.
And the two men took An Nuan and left.
An Nuan was taken to a place. An Nuan was terrified.
The two men, however, laughed heartily.
An Nuan calmed down: "Why did you two grab me? We have no grievances."
The two men, however, laughed loudly: "Miss Xia gave us quite a lot of benefits. Miss Xia also said that we could do whatever we wanted. And for you, as long as you're still breathing, that's enough."
So, it was Xia Wanqing again. After that incident, wasn't Xia Wanqing still not afraid?
She must have held a grudge against her.
Xia Wanqing wanted to ruin her. Perhaps Xu Ruowei also played a part in this.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't scared. An Nuan was truly terrified. She had never imagined that such a thing would happen to her.
...
When Nangong Jin received An Nuan's call, his face was full of smiles.
"An Nuan, I'll be there immediately."
But at this moment, An Nuan on the other end gave him no response.
He became scared.
He dared not say anything more, but listened intently to the sounds from the phone.
An Nuan was in danger, and this was all planned by Xia Wanqing.
Nangong Jin naturally couldn't sit still. He didn't think much further and went directly to find Xia Wanqing. At first, Xia Wanqing denied everything.
Later, under Nangong Jin's persistent questioning, Xia Wanqing finally confessed.
If he weren't in such a hurry to save An Nuan, he would never have let Xia Wanqing go.
However, saving An Nuan was the priority now. There would be plenty of time to settle accounts with Xia Wanqing later.
An Nuan resignedly closed her eyes.
This time, perhaps, no one would come to save her.
Perhaps, death would be a form of release.
Just as An Nuan resigned herself, the two arrogant men were kicked flying by someone.
An Nuan, trembling all over, fell into a warm embrace.
A familiar voice sounded in her ear: "Nuannuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"If it weren't for my negligence, this wouldn't have happened."
Nangong Jin said softly, each word uttered with extreme caution.
