Chapter 515

"It's not a threat, it's just that he seems overconfident," An Nuan controlled her emotions. "I don't know what kind of shady business Gu Yan Sheng has been up to behind the scenes."

"I should have killed him earlier! To avoid this hassle!" Qin Jiang said through gritted teeth.

An Nuan glanced at Qin Jiang but didn't say anything further.

She spoke directly, "For now, don't let Gu Yan Sheng affect our mood. In fact, Gu Yan Sheng deliberately picked a fight just to provoke me and make us lose our composure! But during the call with him, I suddenly had a stroke of inspiration. We should go to Ye Jinghuai's home, and the best way is to divert their attention."

"What do you mean?" Qin Jiang looked serious.

"We'll make them think our destination is not Ye Jinghuai's home, but somewhere else," An Nuan said. "I've got it figured out. The place that would truly make them anxious and even exert great effort to stop us from causing trouble is the Ministry of Politics in Jiangcheng."

"You mean, make them think we're going to the Ministry of Politics? Then take the opportunity while they relax their surveillance on Ah Huai's home?"

"Exactly." An Nuan nodded, glancing at Qin Jiang's legs.

Qin Jiang spoke directly, "Just say it, as long as I'm not dead, I can do anything."

An Nuan lightly bit her lip.

What exactly was the relationship between Qin Jiang and Ye Jinghuai?

It made Qin Jiang willing to risk his life for Ye Jinghuai.

But she knew she couldn't ask.

She said, "Tomorrow, you'll go to the Ministry of Politics. First, sneak in without being noticed, then slowly get discovered, but make it look convincing. After you've drawn their attention, Hu Feng and I will go to Ye Jinghuai's home. I considered having Hu Feng accompany you as backup, but I was afraid that if I were discovered, I wouldn't be able to escape smoothly alone. Like last time, you'd have to go through great lengths to rescue me."

An Nuan spoke very directly.

But actually saying it out loud was... difficult.

In Ye Jinghuai's world, sometimes she truly felt worthless.

Qin Jiang, on the other hand, appreciated An Nuan's directness.

Many people, especially in the business world, preferred to use their most hypocritical ways to achieve their goals. An Nuan didn't beat around the bush; she clearly stated her need for Hu Feng's assistance, even though she knew he also needed Hu Feng's support, but she still adhered to her principles.

He said, "Don't worry, I can handle it."

"Mm." An Nuan didn't say more.

Because, saying more would just be hypocritical.

She turned serious again, "Tomorrow when you go to the Ministry of Politics, you'll likely be detained for trespassing on government premises, so you need to be prepared for arrest. According to the laws of North Wen Country, it may not rise to the level of a crime, but given the current situation, you'll definitely be held in custody for some time."

"I'm not too concerned about that. If I'm detained, so be it. I'm more worried about whether you can handle things alone if I'm gone."

"Even if I can't, I have to," An Nuan said with certainty.

"Okay." Qin Jiang didn't refuse.

Ye Jinghuai had previously told him that if anything happened to him, he should listen to An Nuan.

Since Ye Jinghuai trusted An Nuan so much,

He had no reason to reject An Nuan's arrangements.

"If I get locked up, you can find Nan Chen if you need help," Qin Jiang added. "Don't think of Xiao Nan Chen as just your childhood playmate or a genius hacker. His abilities and sphere of influence are no less than mine. In other words, if I'm not around, he can support everything."

An Nuan frowned.

"Don't ask anything. One day, you'll know the whole truth. But that truth won't come from me or Nan Chen. Perhaps you'll discover it yourself, or perhaps Ah Huai will tell you."

"Mm." An Nuan nodded, then checked the time. "It's getting late, let's get some rest. We'll split up tomorrow."

"Okay."

As An Nuan got up to go upstairs, she couldn't help but turn back and say, "I don't know who you all really are or what your world is like, or how powerful you are. I absolutely won't become a burden to you. If one day I truly become a stumbling block, I'll leave on my own accord."

Qin Jiang was stunned.

He didn't expect An Nuan to suddenly say something like that.

None of them had ever said that An Nuan was a burden to them. Although at first, when Ah Huai chose to be with An Nuan, it did surprise them a bit, they never felt it was inappropriate. Of course, they never thought An Nuan would bring them any great benefit either, and they were prepared to help An Nuan resolve many issues.

He had indeed helped An Nuan a few times, but it was merely a matter of lending a hand and didn't require much effort.

Rather, it was An Nuan who remained calm and intelligent whenever they encountered problems, saving them a lot of trouble.

Now An Nuan was saying this...

Could it be that An Nuan was lacking confidence, feeling insignificant in their world?!

Qin Jiang gave a slight smile.

He said, "An Nuan, are you doubting yourself?"

An Nuan looked at Qin Jiang, "I just feel so far removed from you all."

"You've never been far away. You may not even know that we all watched you grow up." Qin Jiang grinned mischievously.

An Nuan was completely surprised.

She couldn't help but ask, "You're not going to tell me you all reincarnated or time-traveled or..."

"What are you thinking!" Qin Jiang was speechless. "Reading too many novels, huh! When I said we watched you grow up, I meant we grew up together with you since we were little. You just never paid attention to us. Of course, the reason we noticed you was because Ah Huai liked you from a young age! Otherwise, do you really think Ah Huai would have married you just because you told him to?! That guy is so chaste, not to mention marrying, he wouldn't even touch a woman..."

An Nuan was even more perplexed.

What did he mean by "chaste"?!

Was Qin Jiang sure he was talking about Ye Jinghuai?!

"Aiya." Qin Jiang realized he had let something slip. "Anyway, don't belittle yourself! Your capabilities in this period have exceeded my expectations of you! No matter if it's in your world or ours, you're very strong! I'm not lying to you!"

An Nuan felt reassured by Qin Jiang's words.

Recently, she had this feeling that Ye Jinghuai was no ordinary person, that his identity was shocking, and that the distance between them would only grow.

She took a deep breath and didn't ask or think too much about it.

Her only goal now was to rescue Ye Jinghuai.

Everything else was inconsequential to her.
