Chapter 530: Qin Jiang Gets Out
Chapter 530
The banquet was over.
An Nuan also left the wedding venue.
Her goals for the day had been achieved, so she didn't need to waste any more time.
"Nuan Nuan, are you leaving?" Xia Qiqi felt a little reluctant.
She actually had no interest left in attending the banquet, but she didn't know where else to go. She had thought it would be nice to have An Nuan accompany her, but now that An Nuan was leaving, there was no point in staying alone.
"Mm-hmm." An Nuan nodded.
"Why don't I go with you then?" Xia Qiqi decided.
After all, staying would just be boring.
An Nuan turned her head to glance at Nie Ziming, who was mingling nearby.
Xia Qiqi also looked over and said, "I'll let Ziming know, you wait for me."
An Nuan nodded.
Xia Qiqi returned quickly.
Although Nie Ziming said he would accompany her when leaving, she told him she wanted to leave with An Nuan instead, and he agreed.
For some reason.
Xia Qiqi felt that Nie Ziming was becoming more and more enthusiastic about socializing.
He didn't used to be like this.
Of course, she didn't dwell on it too much, and happily left with An Nuan.
The two walked towards the hall entrance.
At the entrance, staff provided them with the coats they had taken off when they arrived, respectfully handing them over.
After putting on her coat, An Nuan noticed Xia Qiqi's short jacket and frowned, "Aren't you afraid of freezing to death?"
"Beauty is worth suffering for," Xia Qiqi shrugged it off.
An Nuan was speechless.
The two walked out of the hall together.
As soon as they stepped out.
A cold wind blew.
Xia Qiqi shivered all over from the cold.
An Nuan mocked, "It really is freezing."
Xia Qiqi glared at An Nuan, trembling from the cold as she asked, "Where's your car?"
"Over there." An Nuan pointed.
Xia Qiqi rushed over immediately.
Completely lacking any ladylike demeanor.
As soon as Xia Qiqi got into the car, she told Hu Feng, "I'm freezing, turn up the heat..."
Then.
She noticed Xiao Nanchen in the front passenger seat.
Xiao Nanchen sat there, silent, expressionless, not even looking back at her.
Xia Qiqi's voice trailed off abruptly.
At that moment, she even felt an urge to get out of the car immediately.
But she paused when An Nuan got in.
After An Nuan closed the car door, she told Hu Feng, "Take Qiqi home first."
"Okay." Hu Feng replied respectfully.
The car drove through the streets.
The interior was utterly silent.
Xia Qiqi felt extremely uncomfortable.
Xiao Nanchen was in the car, and An Nuan hadn't even warned her.
"Are you cold?" An Nuan asked.
Xia Qiqi hesitated, then quickly shook her head, "No, I'm not cold."
"You're not cold but you're shivering non-stop?"
"..." She wasn't shivering at all.
She just felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.
"Hu Feng, turn the heater up a little more," An Nuan said again.
She really wasn't cold.
Whatever.
Xia Qiqi didn't want to argue anymore.
Fortunately, the car soon reached the entrance of Xia Qiqi's residential area.
As Xia Qiqi was about to get out.
An Nuan suddenly grabbed her and took off her own coat, handing it to her, "Put this on."
"If I wear yours, you'll freeze in a bit. It's not necessary, it's just a few steps."
"Take it."
"Really, it's not..."
At that moment, she saw the man sitting in the front passenger seat take off his black coat and hand it to An Nuan, "Wear mine."
He was speaking to An Nuan.
Of course, An Nuan understood Xiao Nanchen's intention.
She told Xia Qiqi, "I'll wear Nanchen's, you wear mine."
Xia Qiqi pursed her lips.
Actually.
Wouldn't it be more convenient if she wore Xiao Nanchen's coat?
Whatever.
These days, Xiao Nanchen and she were like oil and water.
They didn't interact at all.
She accepted An Nuan's thick coat and put it on.
Xia Qiqi said, "Then I'll head back."
"Go take a hot shower when you get home, don't catch a cold."
"Okay."
Xia Qiqi left.
After leaving, she couldn't help but look back.
She saw that the black car had already driven away.
She didn't know why she felt a sense of disorientation.
...
The car arrived at the villa.
Xiao Nanchen went inside with An Nuan.
Clearly to discuss Ye Jinghuai's criminal activities.
An Nuan stated directly, "I'll send the video to Gu Yan Sheng later. If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to meet Ye Jinghuai tonight."
"Mm." Xiao Nanchen nodded. "But I think Gu Yan Sheng probably won't let you and my cousin meet alone, so it's very likely that my cousin won't reveal much. You need to pay attention to every single word he says. If possible, record the audio so we can analyze it together later."
"Based on what I know about Gu Yan Sheng, he might not even let me bring anything in."
Xiao Nanchen agreed, "So you absolutely have to remember every single thing my cousin says."
"Mm." An Nuan nodded.
The two discussed some other matters.
Suddenly, Xiao Nanchen's phone rang.
His eyes lit up when he saw the caller ID, and he told An Nuan, "It's Qin Jiang."
An Nuan's heart started beating faster too.
She watched as Xiao Nanchen answered, "Qin Jiang?"
"Nanchen, I'm finally out. I'm coming back from Jiang City, should be in Qing City around 7 PM."
"Once you're back, come straight to my cousin's place. Nuan Nuan and I are discussing the plan to meet my cousin tonight."
"Got it."
Qin Jiang agreed and hung up.
Xiao Nanchen said, "Qin Jiang is out, he'll be here around 7 PM."
"Good."
She was eager to see Qin Jiang and find out if he had proof that An Xiao and Ye Jinghuai hadn't slept together.
...
At 7 PM.
Qin Jiang rushed over to the villa in a hurry.
As soon as he arrived, he told Uncle Zhong, "Two big bowls of noodles, I'm going to take a shower first."
"..."
Xiao Nanchen and An Nuan were speechless.
Qin Jiang dashed into the bathroom, and after showering, he yelled, "Nanchen, bring me a set of clothes."
"I'm going to look for Ye Jinghuai," said An Nuan as she stood up.
She found a set of homewear that Ye Jinghuai had barely worn and gave it to Xiao Nanchen.
Xiao Nanchen passed it to Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang emerged, refreshed, and went straight to the dining room, wolfing down the large bowl of noodles Uncle Zhong had cooked for him.
An Nuan and Xiao Nanchen just waited for him.
In a few minutes, Qin Jiang had finished the entire large bowl of noodles.
With a satisfied burp, he slowly made his way to the sofa in the living room and plopped down next to Xiao Nanchen. He said, "Alright, I'm fully revived now. Tell me your plan."
"Tonight we're going to meet Ye Jinghuai," An Nuan cut to the chase. "I need to ask Ye Jinghuai about the financial reports. Also, you probably know that aside from embezzlement, Ye Jinghuai is also accused of raping An Xiao, which led to her suicide by drowning..."
Qin Jiang suddenly let out a cold laugh, interrupting An Nuan's words. "Jinghuai anticipated An Xiao's sudden intimacy that night and we were prepared. So I have proof that An Xiao and Jinghuai never had any relationship!"
