Chapter 319

An Nuan opened the phone.

Surprisingly, the lock screen was a photo of a little child.

An Nuan was puzzled.

Did Ye Jinghuai have a preference for cute babies?

But as she looked closer, there was some familiarity.

Then she suddenly realized, this was a photo of herself when she was little!

Was this guy a pervert?!

He actually used a photo of her as a child as his lock screen.

Moreover, where did Ye Jinghuai even get this photo from?!

She didn't recall ever seeing this photo before.

An Nuan's thoughts were in turmoil.

Damn it.

Ye Jinghuai could really easily distract her.

Even in such an urgent and dangerous situation, she was actually still thinking about random things.

She focused her attention and pondered Ye Jinghuai's phone password.

She thought about it and typed in “XX0202”.

Luckily he had mentioned his birthday that day.

However.

No.

An Nuan thought about it and typed in her own birthday.

“XX0808”.

Her heart was still racing.

But the lock screen prompt showed “password incorrect”.

She was overthinking things after all.

Ye Jinghuai wouldn't actually use her birth date as the password.

But other than each other's birthdays, she really couldn't think of any other passwords.

She contemplated and figured just based on the recording she took earlier, she didn't know if that could serve as valid evidence. According to North Wen Country's laws, recordings could only act as partial basis and could not fully prove the facts. After all, with voice changing software and the prevalence of voice actors nowadays, the law could hardly make a definitive judgement.

An Nuan gritted her teeth.

She randomly typed in another password “022088”.

It was their birth years joined together.

Actually she didn't have much hope.

But at that moment, miraculously.

The phone unlocked successfully.

She entered the home screen instantly.

An Nuan was still in disbelief for two seconds.

This Ye Jinghuai guy...

Actually really used such a childish password.

There was an inexplicable warmth swirling around her heart.

She took a deep breath and opened up his photo album.

When opened, there were no suspicious photos. Instead, it was densely filled entirely with photos of her.

Some were close up shots, some were distant shots, some were makeup-free selfies after showering, and many more...The common trait was that they were all secretly taken.

Some of the angles made her look quite ugly.

But Ye Jinghuai saved all of them in his phone.

This guy!

Did he have to be so perverted?

Using her childhood photo as lock screen was creepy enough. And now his phone was filled with secret shots of her...

If she still didn't believe Ye Jinghuai loved her, she would just be deceiving herself.

An Nuan maintained her calmness, exited his photo album, and pondered for a bit before opening up his personal email. Same as the lock screen password, she accessed the email and inside his cloud drive, found many photos. They were clearly photos of drug deals happening on site at the Fireworks Factory.

The photos illustrated things very clearly.

The two parties conducting the deal were plain to see.

An Nuan was somewhat agitated.

She was truly pleasantly surprised by Ye Jinghuai. 𝚏r𝐞𝗲𝚠eb𝚗o𝐯el.com

Everything had just been her imagining the best case scenario, yet she didn't expect Ye Jinghuai had actually done it all.

Now with the photos and recordings, the fact of the drug trafficking base hidden within the Fireworks Factory, and the fact of local influences protecting the drug gangs, the evidence was conclusive.

An Nuan promptly transferred the evidence to a phone, then picked up the phone to call Xiao Nanchen.

The other side picked up quickly, “An Nuan, I heard you went to Laitan Town?”

“Yes.” An Nuan nodded.

She also didn’t ask how Xiao Nanchen knew.

After all, Xiao Nanchen had deep ties with Ye Jinghuai and his circle. She was no longer surprised.

“Are you okay?” Xiao Nanchen asked caringly.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. But there’s an important matter I need your help with.”

“Tell me.” Sensing An Nuan’s urgency, the other side got right to it without idle chatter.

“I’ll get to the point. Ye Jinghuai discovered a drug trafficking organization here while touring. Now the organization is protected by local influences and we have no way of bringing these people to justice. So we need to rely on Qing City police force. I’m sending you the evidence now. Please help report this to the police, best if through Jun family’s connections. I believe you understand what I mean.”

“I understand.” Xiao Nanchen agreed without hesitation.

“Also, I’m worried the arrogance of local influences means they may also have backers in Qing City. To prevent Qing City backers from helping local influences, I suggest exposing this matter to put it under public scrutiny. Once it's exposed, the backers won't dare make reckless moves because they're afraid of backlash. Only then can Qing City police swiftly come provide support.” An Nuan said, “We’re currently trapped in Laitan Town by local influences. The longer it drags on, the easier we are to be discovered. Once discovered, it would be very difficult to successfully escape. So I’m relying on you.”

“Okay.” Xiao Nanchen readily agreed.

After An Nuan finished relaying instructions, she hung up the phone. By then the sky had already darkened.

Only then did she realize she hadn’t eaten anything the entire day.

Having handled everything, she finally felt extremely hungry.

As An Nuan prepared to leave the factory to find some food,

her entire body suddenly froze.

She clearly heard rushed footsteps frantically chasing towards her.

It sounded like...

She had been discovered!

An Nuan’s heart tightened. In the next second she hurriedly fled.

Under the night’s cover, it was relatively easier to hide. An Nuan ran out of the factory straight into the barren farmland, sprinting across the fields.

The person behind continued chasing her.

In her panic, An Nuan wasn’t paying attention and suddenly tumbled down into a deep ditch beneath the farmland.

After falling down, there wasn’t even time to climb back up. Taking advantage of the darkness, she hid inside that deep ditch.

Above her on the farmland, footsteps rushed past her face in pursuit.

Just when An Nuan sighed in slight relief,

the group turned right back around.

Then they paced back and forth around her, with beams of flashlights also appearing as they clearly searched for her.

An Nuan hugged herself tightly, heart thumping so hard it felt like it would leap out.

She kept telling herself to calm down.

In her last life she had lived until a decade later before dying.

There’s no way she would die at 22 this life.

No way.

She was so nervous her whole body shivered.

The people did not leave, yet also failed to find her.

This continued for about 5 minutes.

One of the men searching for her suddenly dialed a phone number.

And An Nuan’s phone suddenly rang—to be precise, the phone An Nuan had on her which belonged to Ye Jinghuai rang.

The moment the phone rang.

An Nuan knew...she was screwed.

Guessing the next second she might be buried alive.

And in the very next second.

She was promptly discovered. Four men pointed their guns at her. If she so much as twitched, she could get shot dead at any moment.

Indeed.

She wasn’t as capable as she thought.

In the end, she had dragged Ye Jinghuai down!

She pondered.

If Ye Jinghuai found out she had perished, would he...grieve beyond consolation.
