Chapter 512
Qin Jiang agreed with An Nuan.
The two of them hit it off instantly and set off immediately.
Wang Xu remained in Qing City, while An Nuan asked him to find a way to meet Ye Jinghuai at all costs.
An Nuan had a feeling that she could obtain many clues from Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan and Qin Jiang set off together with Hu Feng.
Xiao Nanchen was concerned about the information regarding Ye Jinghuai's case and wanted to accompany them to Jiang City, but was rejected by An Nuan.
An Nuan knew very well that their every move was being monitored by the municipal government. The fewer people involved, the less danger they would face. Moreover, if any real danger arose, they could receive covert assistance. They couldn't afford to be wiped out altogether.
Xiao Nanchen was also a sensible person. He would consider the bigger picture, so he didn't insist.
By the time they arrived in Jiang City, it was already night.
They went straight to Ye Jinghuai's residence in Jiang City, only to find the front door sealed with a strip of tape.
Seeing the tape, Qin Jiang became enraged.
The thought of Ye Jinghuai being framed like this made him furious.
He reached out to remove the tape.
"What are you doing!" a stern male voice suddenly came from behind.
An Nuan turned around.
Two police officers in uniform approached from behind. "Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Stop what you're doing!"
Qin Jiang clenched his fists tightly.
Anger made the veins on his face bulge.
An Nuan held Qin Jiang back.
If they got into a conflict with the authorities at this point, they might end up being detained for obstructing public servants, which would prevent anyone from finding evidence to exonerate Ye Jinghuai and clear his name. They would only be playing into the hands of the opposition.
Under An Nuan's gaze, Qin Jiang suppressed his anger with great difficulty.
"Let's go," An Nuan said to Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang walked ahead, fuming with rage as they left.
An Nuan and Hu Feng followed behind.
They checked into a nearby hotel.
The three of them shared one room.
Suddenly, An Nuan recalled a time when she had gone to see Ye Jinghuai, and it was the three of them as well.
An Nuan felt a sense of melancholy.
She was well aware that the higher the power, the lower the chance of survival. Apart from seeking revenge, her sole wish was to develop her family's business. She had never intended to venture into the world of prominent families.
When she had agreed to help Ye Jinghuai develop his career in the past, it was only to provide him with advice and strategies. Once he reached the pinnacle of his career, she could make a complete exit.
Her ideals were lofty, but reality was harsh.
In the end, she still became thoroughly involved.
She even wondered if, this time, the prominent families were targeting Ye Jinghuai, but next time, would they come after her and the Four Great Families?
Just how ambitious were the prominent families?
Gu Yensheng could take her family's wealth to appease the prominent families, so it was likely that the prominent families had long had their eyes on the lucrative Four Great Families.
So, rather than saying this was about rescuing Ye Jinghuai, it was more accurate to say that she was also trying to save herself.
Now, she and Ye Jinghuai were on the same side, setting aside romantic considerations. The two of them were inextricably linked.
Of course, she didn't regret it.
The one thing she didn't regret in this life was meeting Ye Jinghuai.
An Nuan tossed and turned for a long time.
Her mind kept churning, thinking about the current situation, then pondering how to find evidence of Ye Jinghuai's innocence, where to start the investigation, and which people needed to be investigated.
In the quiet room, "An Nuan!" Qin Jiang suddenly called out to her urgently.
An Nuan's heart skipped a beat.
In that instant, she knew something major had happened.
"Get down on the floor!" Qin Jiang commanded.
An Nuan immediately rolled off the bed and onto the floor.
Qin Jiang and Hu Feng did the same, rolling on the ground.
Then, in the next second, they heard the sound of the door being kicked open.
At the same time, Qin Jiang turned off all the lights in the room.
The room was pitch black.
An Nuan's body trembled with tension.
At that moment, she didn't even know where Qin Jiang and Hu Feng were hiding!
She saw a few men wearing combat boots enter the room one by one through the light from the hallway.
About four men.
An Nuan's heart sank.
Were they going to kill them and cover it up so quickly?
Were the prominent families willing to go to such lengths and burn all bridges?
