Chapter 11.1

The video played back and forth several times, and Zhang Yong finally noticed something was off. He turned to Qin Nan and asked, “Still haven’t figured it out?”

“It’s this car,” Qin Nan said with his head lowered, not letting Zhang Yong see his expression. “The one in the reeds area is also this car.”

“That’s great,” Zhang Yong exclaimed happily as he began to pack up the USB drive. “Thank you, you’ve helped me a lot.”

“No need,” Qin Nan replied, leaning against the table.

“Alright, then I’ll leave,” Zhang Yong waved his hand.

Qin Nan saw Zhang Yong off, watching him leave. After Zhang Yong left, Qin Nan sat back on his bed, staring blankly at the floor.

Zhang Yong was a criminal investigator.

A car, leaving the hotel, carrying Ye Sibei and Zhao Chuchu, then appeared in the reeds.

“W… what car?” Fan Jiancheng didn’t understand. Qin Nan reminded him, “You were driving this car.”

“It’s… it’s mine,” Fan Jiancheng tried to think of all possible scenarios. “Big brother, did I accidentally scratch your car? I didn’t notice. How much do I need to compensate…”

“On April 9th,” Qin Nan’s voice was steady, “Was this car always in your possession?”

Fan Jiancheng’s movements stiffened for a moment, and it was this brief delay that allowed Qin Nan to swiftly knee him in the abdomen. He grabbed Fan Jiancheng’s hair, forcing him to look at him. “Speak.”

The pain made Fan Jiancheng’s expression twist instantly. He gasped and hurriedly said, “Yes, big brother. What’s the matter? Please tell me…”

“Did you take Ye Sibei to the reed area?”

This question made Fan Jiancheng quiet for a moment. After a while, he suddenly pulled out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and aimed to burn Qin Nan’s hand! Qin Nan instinctively pulled back his hand, and Fan Jiancheng immediately rushed towards the back door of Fuqiang Real Estate, shouting, “Help! Save…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Nan grabbed his hair and slammed him against the wall. However, Fan Jiancheng seemed to have recognized him and no longer showed fear. He held onto Qin Nan’s wrist and sat down, forcing Qin Nan to release his grip. Fan Jiancheng then lunged at Qin Nan’s waist!

The two men wrestled together, and Qin Nan was much stronger. He flipped over and pressed down on Fan Jiancheng’s face, raining down punches!

The punches left Fan Jiancheng bewildered, unable to retaliate. He could only protect his head with his hands and shouted, “It was voluntary!”

Qin Nan’s fists stopped, and Fan Jiancheng gasped, “She needed money, deliberately pretended to be drunk. I offered to take her home, and she told me she liked me and wanted to be with me. If this gets out, it won’t look good for anyone. You’re her husband, right? You can go ask. Go ask the people that day if she drank voluntarily, if she got into my car voluntarily!”

“She drank and got into your car, so what?”

Qin Nan stared at Fan Jiancheng, who turned to look at him, his eyes filled with shock. “Are you insane? Why would she drink at the table if she wasn’t willing? Why would she get into my car? Why didn’t she protect herself properly? Let me tell you, even if this goes to court, I’m in the right!”

Qin Nan looked at him confidently and suddenly understood.

“You think she won’t report you.”

“What are you talking about?”

Fan Jiancheng felt uneasy, “Report what?”

“So you chose her.”

Faint voices could be heard nearby. Fan Jiancheng regained his confidence, “Keep hitting me now if you dare. Let’s see who looks worse when this gets big.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Nan punched him hard in the face. Then he grabbed his collar and brought his face close, saying, “Then watch closely.”

“I damn well want to see how a damn rapist will have the face to talk about what looks good in the future!”

“You owe her an apology,” Qin Nan stared at him intently, “I will make sure you eat prison food for this.”

With that, Qin Nan pushed him away and left directly.

As he reached his car, he encountered Zhao Chuchu, who had parked nearby.

“Qin Nan?”

Zhao Chuchu called out his name in confusion, but Qin Nan got into his car without acknowledging her and drove off quickly.

Zhao Chuchu was taken aback. She entered the company in a daze, and as soon as she entered the lobby, she noticed the chaos inside the company. She grabbed Chen Xiaoyang, who was passing by, and asked, “What’s happening?”

“Ye Jie’s husband just beat up Fan Boss,” Chen Xiaoyang, upon seeing her, gave her a meaningful look as a reminder, “He’s furious. Since you have a good relationship with Ye Jie, you better hide for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chuchu was stunned. Chen Xiaoyang waved to her, “I have clients to attend to, I’ll leave first.”

With that, Chen Xiaoyang left, giving Zhao Chuchu some time to calm down before quickly stepping out to call Ye Nianwen.

When Ye Nianwen answered the phone, he was combing his hair in front of the mirror. He answered Zhao Chuchu’s call casually, “Miss me, darling?”

“Nianwen, something’s happened.”

“What happened?” Ye Nianwen adjusted his tie while holding the phone.

“Just now, Nan Ge came to the company. I greeted him, but he didn’t say anything. Then I heard that he beat up our store manager, Fan Jiancheng!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Nianwen was stunned. Zhao Chuchu glanced at nearby colleagues who were busy working and lowered her voice, “You should quickly go ask Nan Ge what’s going on!”

“Where is he?”

Ye Nianwen immediately grabbed a suit jacket nearby and grabbed his bag.

“He has already left in his car.”

“Okay, I’ll go find him.”

Saying that, Ye Nianwen rushed out of the house, “Did my sister go to the company?”

“No. She…” Zhao Chuchu hesitated for a moment, “She was fired yesterday.”

Ye Nianwen paused for a moment, opened his mouth as if to ask something, but in the end, he swallowed his words.

“I got it,” he controlled his emotions, “Help me convince Fan Jiancheng not to call the police. I’ll call you back later.”

“How am I supposed to do that…” Before Zhao Chuchu could finish her sentence, Ye Nianwen hung up.

Zhao Chuchu looked at her phone in confusion, thought for a while, and then reluctantly returned to the company.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Nianwen held onto it, composed himself, and called Qin Nan, but he didn’t answer. Standing at the door, he took a deep breath and went straight to the street, raising his hand to hail a taxi.

Qin Nan, after beating Fan Jiancheng, ran madly towards home.

His hand that had struck someone felt a bit painful, but besides the pain, he felt an additional surge of anger and discomfort.

This was the first time he had directly intervened in Ye Sibei’s world.

Before, no matter what Ye Sibei did, she always liked to keep it hidden. She carefully handled all the unpleasant traces in her life, only revealing them when she couldn’t hide them anymore, which led to arguments and conflicts between them.

He used to think that everything she did was her choice, because of her weakness and self-abandonment, she made so many unlikable choices, and then she would apologize repeatedly when he confronted her.

But when he truly intervened in Ye Sibei’s life, he realized that she had no real choices.
