Chapter 517: Outbreak (10) Is Calculated

Chapter 517

An Nuan spent the afternoon in Ye Jinghuai's room.

To no avail.

She opened the door and came out.

Hu Feng was waiting for her at the door and clearly saw the disappointment she failed to conceal, despite her efforts.

Hu Feng asked, "Didn't find anything?"

An Nuan shook her head, "No."

Hu Feng fell silent, as he generally wouldn't inquire further.

Most times, just knowing the answer was enough.

"Did anyone come?" An Nuan asked.

"No."

An Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Let's go, leave first."

"Okay."

Just as the two were about to press the elevator button, the elevator doors suddenly opened.

An elderly person stepped out of the elevator.

The elderly person glanced at An Nuan and Hu Feng, seemingly realizing they were strangers, and walked past them.

Hu Feng went straight into the elevator.

An Nuan paused for a moment, turned around, and saw the elderly person walking at a leisurely pace, stopping diagonally across from Ye Jinghuai's door, then opening their own door and going inside.

"Madam?" Hu Feng called out to An Nuan.

The elevator had already emitted a "ding" sound, but An Nuan seemed not to have heard it.

She came to her senses and hurriedly entered the elevator.

The elevator descended.

Sitting in Hu Feng's car, An Nuan left Ye Jinghuai's neighborhood.

The car remained extremely quiet.

An Nuan's mind was constantly thinking and rapidly processing things.

Even when the car arrived at the nightclub, An Nuan was still in a daze.

"Madam?" Hu Feng couldn't help but remind her again.

An Nuan pursed her lips.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter to me now," Gu Yan Sheng suddenly said magnanimously. "To me, you're still a stray dog! You can't beat me, can you?"

An Nuan didn't want to waste another word on Gu Yan Sheng.

Then she heard him say, "Oh right, I heard Qin Jiang was also arrested."

An Nuan's expression darkened.

"The mighty young master of the Qin family, I just don't understand why he would be circling around you and Ye Jinghuai! Now look, he's landed himself in detention too. I heard it's ten or twenty days, do you think someone used to enjoying himself like him will get used to being in there?"

"Satisfied enough?" An Nuan said coldly.

"An Nuan, I'm calling you today out of good intentions. Just to tell you not to meddle in other people's business. You better stay out of Ye Jinghuai's affairs, or this time it's Qin Jiang in there, next time it might be you!" Gu Yan Sheng laughed maniacally, then added, "You tell me, isn't this karma coming full circle? Did you ever think that one day you'd be forced into this situation, just like how you forced me back then?!"

"So you're telling me that the corruption and bribery case against Ye Jinghuai was orchestrated by you?!"

"What nonsense are you talking!" Gu Yan Sheng was fuming.

No matter how smug he was, he still had his caution.

He wouldn't admit it from his own mouth.

And An Nuan's purpose was simple, to make Gu Yan Sheng shut up!

And the best way to make him shut up wasn't hanging up on him, but to make him afraid to speak.

"I'm just telling you to mind your own business!" Gu Yan Sheng abruptly hung up the phone.

It seemed he wouldn't dare call and gloat again,

still afraid that she might really trick him into admitting something.

An Nuan put down her phone, her expression not looking good.

Hu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is the situation not optimistic now?"

"Not optimistic," An Nuan didn't hide it. "I'm starting to suspect that we've fallen into their trap!"

"What do you mean?"

"The first thing we did after getting off the plane was go to Ye Jinghuai's house, but we were immediately asked to leave by officials, which gave us the false impression that there might be something fishy going on, making us want to find a way in. But today when we went in, no one stopped us. No matter how Qin Jiang tried to divert attention, there shouldn't have been not a single person there. I was inside for so long, and no one came to stop me."

Hu Feng's thinking was simpler.

Since An Nuan didn't explain clearly, he still couldn't understand.

She further explained, "This is enough to prove that they deliberately let us come here. They must have known that if we wanted to get in, we would definitely try to divert their attention, and the most likely way would be to create a disturbance elsewhere to divide their focus. So they must have anticipated that we would have someone cause a commotion at the Ministry of Politics on purpose, and their aim was precisely for us to do that, so they could arrest the person causing the disturbance."

After speaking, An Nuan's expression turned even colder.

On the way back in the car, she had been thinking about this matter.

Gu Yan Sheng calling her, although he didn't dare admit it outright, his smugness clearly showed that his scheme had succeeded.
