Chapter 518: Burst (11) Discover New Clues

Chapter 518

It was indeed a successful scheme.

Not only did she fail to find any clues about Ye Jinghuai in this incident, but she also implicated Qin Jiang, who previously held considerable power, making it difficult for her to take any future action.

She really suffered a double blow - a loss of face and manpower.

An Nuan clenched her fists tightly, feeling somewhat agitated by Gu Yan Sheng's actions this time.

But she kept reminding herself to stay calm.

The more critical the situation, the more she should control her emotions.

"Madam, what should we do next? Stay in Jiang City?" Hu Feng asked.

He was also at a loss regarding the current predicament and the ploy they had fallen into.

She was contemplating whether to remain in Jiang City as well.

Were there still clues in Jiang City?!

Based on this confrontation, their opponent was truly formidable.

Perhaps they had not truly intervened before, which allowed her to scheme against Gu Yan Sheng so smoothly, but this time, they seemed to be taking real action.

If the opponent was truly powerful, then...

There would certainly be no clues left in Jiang City.

The only possible clue might be with Ye Jinghuai himself.

Could she only hope that Ye Jinghuai had prepared for this, leaving behind evidence of his innocence?!

An Nuan fell silent.

Hu Feng grew increasingly anxious.

He didn't understand the current situation fully, but he knew that in his eyes, the two capable individuals, Mr. Ye and Mr. Qin, had both been arrested.

This incident was certainly no simple matter!

After pondering for a while, An Nuan took out her phone and dialed, "Nan Chen."

"Has Qin Jiang been arrested too?" Xiao Nanchen asked.

"Yes." An Nuan didn't provide further explanation.

Although it was her mistake, she didn't want to undermine their authority at the moment.

"Don't worry, Qin Jiang won't come to any harm. His father has the ability to get him out safely," Xiao Nanchen reassured An Nuan.

An Nuan was touched by Xiao Nanchen's actions.

She was actually afraid they would blame her.

But now was not the time for sentimentality, so she asked directly, "Have you infiltrated the financial system of the Ministry of Politics?"

"Yes, I stole the financial reports, and they're identical to the ones you obtained from the Prosecutor's Office," Xiao Nanchen said. "Their data is very well-crafted. I haven't found any loopholes yet, but I'm still verifying it. I'll let you know if I have any good news."

They certainly wouldn't expect to find any evidence, so they wouldn't waste too much effort on her.

All their previous actions were just to set a trap for her.

Now that they had succeeded, she didn't need to have any reservations.

At 8 PM, An Nuan went to Ye Jinghuai's neighborhood again with Hu Feng.

She didn't go to Ye Jinghuai's home this time.

She had checked thoroughly that afternoon and found no usable evidence, so there was no need to waste time there.

She went to the property management center and used her vehicle's identity to check the surveillance footage.

There were no cameras in the elevators, but there were some in the neighborhood.

However, there were two hours of blank footage, and the staff told them that the cameras had suddenly short-circuited and crashed for those two hours, resulting in no footage.

An Nuan didn't ask further questions.

They had clearly tampered with the evidence, so she just accepted that there was no footage if there was none.

She left the monitoring room and went to Ye Jinghuai's front door again.

Without entering, she knocked on the door diagonally across from Ye Jinghuai's apartment.

She had always thought that only Ye Jinghuai lived on that floor.

If she hadn't run into an old man today, she might not have thought to ask the neighboring residents.

The door opened, and an old man looked at An Nuan with surprise. "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello, I just moved in today, but I forgot to buy soy sauce when moving. Could I borrow some from you?" An Nuan made up an excuse.

"Wait a moment," the old man turned and went back inside.

An Nuan glanced into the old man's home.

It seemed he lived alone.

The old man soon returned with a bottle of soy sauce. "I have an extra one. You can take this."

"How much do I owe you?" An Nuan asked.

"No need," the old man declined. "We're neighbors."

"But I can't just take it for free."

"It's no problem. In the past, I often received help from my neighbor across the hall, but..." The old man suddenly sighed with some resignation.

An Nuan's eyes flickered with insight.

She perceptively realized that the "neighbor" he referred to was Ye Jinghuai.

She casually asked, "Are you talking about the neighbor across the hall, Ye Jinghuai, who was arrested for corruption?"

"Corruption?!" The old man immediately became agitated. "He's such a good man, there's no way he would be corrupt! This must be a frame-up!"
