After Rebirth, I Married the Archenemy of My Ex-Husband

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."

"Okay," An Nuan nodded.

"How about your end? Any discoveries?"

"None so far."

"From my perspective, it might be difficult to find clues in Jiang City. I think the biggest clue is probably with my cousin," Xiao Nanchen said. "It's highly likely that my cousin left behind some evidence for himself."

An Nuan agreed, but she didn't want to give up so easily.

She said, "I think so too. After this confrontation, the opponent's capabilities are stronger than I expected, so finding evidence in Jiang City will be very difficult. But I still want to try again."

Xiao Nanchen pursed his lips.

He swallowed some words he had intended to say.

He generally wouldn't impose his opinions too forcefully and would respect others' decisions.

"The reason is simple: I don't want to pin all our hopes on a single point. If that fails, we'll fail completely. So I want to create more opportunities for us to win, at least to prevent us from being driven into a desperate situation. After all, we can't guarantee whether we'll be able to meet Ye Jinghuai before the trial."

"Okay, I support you," Xiao Nanchen said, truly impressed by An Nuan's thorough consideration and touched by her efforts in this matter.

It was said that his cousin loved An Nuan like his own life.

But in fact, love cannot be one-sided.

One-sided love is never called "love"!

Xiao Nanchen calmly said, "You don't need to be too tense or put too much pressure on yourself. I don't know if Qin Jiang has told you this, but there's something I want to tell you."

"What is it?" An Nuan asked, puzzled.

"In an extreme situation, we can stage a prison break."

"..." An Nuan's eyes widened.

"It can be done," Xiao Nanchen said with conviction.

An Nuan didn't ask further questions.

Many answers seemed to be emerging.

After hanging up the phone, An Nuan calmed herself down again.

She had to admit that Xiao Nanchen's statement about staging a prison break was indeed quite shocking, as ordinary people would never even consider such a thing. But the fact that it was possible relieved her of a lot of pressure.

If worst came to worst, they could just break them out.

If worst came to worst, she could flee with her family and Ye Jinghuai.

As long as they were alive, anything was possible.

She took a deep breath.

She told Hu Feng, "Take a rest. Tonight, we'll go to Ye Jinghuai's neighborhood again."

Hu Feng didn't quite understand.

"Now, the opponent has truly let their guard down against us," An Nuan stated directly.

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!"
