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

Chapter 517

An Nuan spent the afternoon in Ye Jinghuai's room.

To no avail.

She opened the door and came out.

Hu Feng was waiting for her at the door and clearly saw the disappointment she failed to conceal, despite her efforts.

Hu Feng asked, "Didn't find anything?"

An Nuan shook her head, "No."

Hu Feng fell silent, as he generally wouldn't inquire further.

Most times, just knowing the answer was enough.

"Did anyone come?" An Nuan asked.

"No."

An Nuan's eyes narrowed slightly, "Let's go, leave first."

"Okay."

Just as the two were about to press the elevator button, the elevator doors suddenly opened.

An elderly person stepped out of the elevator.

The elderly person glanced at An Nuan and Hu Feng, seemingly realizing they were strangers, and walked past them.

Hu Feng went straight into the elevator.

An Nuan paused for a moment, turned around, and saw the elderly person walking at a leisurely pace, stopping diagonally across from Ye Jinghuai's door, then opening their own door and going inside.

"Madam?" Hu Feng called out to An Nuan.

The elevator had already emitted a "ding" sound, but An Nuan seemed not to have heard it.

She came to her senses and hurriedly entered the elevator.

The elevator descended.

Sitting in Hu Feng's car, An Nuan left Ye Jinghuai's neighborhood.

The car remained extremely quiet.

An Nuan's mind was constantly thinking and rapidly processing things.

Even when the car arrived at the nightclub, An Nuan was still in a daze.

"Madam?" Hu Feng couldn't help but remind her again.

An Nuan pursed her lips.

She got out of the car with Hu Feng and entered the private room.

One of the nightclub's managers followed them in and respectfully informed An Nuan, "We just received news that Mr. Qin Jiang has been detained for trespassing at the Ministry of Politics. He asked me to tell you not to worry about him, he won't get into trouble."

An Nuan bit her lip tightly.

The expected outcome had been anticipated, but when it actually happened, it still left an unpleasant feeling.

After reporting, the manager left.

The room was left with only An Nuan and Hu Feng.

Hu Feng didn't dare disturb An Nuan and stood quietly beside her.

An Nuan's mind was completely jumbled at the moment.

Before she could sort everything out, her phone rang again.

Seeing Gu Yan Sheng's call, she hung up directly.

She didn't want to hear this man's voice, afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.

The call was hung up.

But a message popped up on her phone screen, "Not giving me face by not accepting my wedding invitation?!"

An Nuan looked at it coldly.

Gu Yan Sheng's smugness could be seen through the message.

"The 28th of this month, 8 days from now, at the Willis Grand Hotel in Qingcheng City, you're cordially invited to attend my and Xinyao's wedding."

Another message popped up.

An Nuan controlled her anger.

She couldn't help but admit that Gu Yan Sheng had thoroughly provoked her today.

Not because she was jealous of his marriage, but because she currently had no leads, making her somewhat agitated, and he was fanning the flames by rubbing it in her face, ultimately causing An Nuan to lose her composure for a second.

She gritted her teeth and immediately called him back.

"I thought you wouldn't answer my call. What, knowing I'm getting married, it's starting to taste bitter..."

"Gu Yan Sheng, do you believe me if I say I can record every word you're saying and play it for Di Xinyao?" An Nuan coldly said.

Gu Yan Sheng was clearly threatened.

His expression darkened, "An Nuan, you're vicious enough."

"We both know who's more vicious!" An Nuan scoffed coldly.

"Heh." Gu Yan Sheng sneered, "To have reached this stage, An Nuan, you can still render me speechless, I'm a bit impressed! Were you just pretending to be stupid back then?"

She wished that all the humiliation she had suffered from him was just an act.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter to me now," Gu Yan Sheng suddenly said magnanimously. "To me, you're still a stray dog! You can't beat me, can you?"

An Nuan didn't want to waste another word on Gu Yan Sheng.

Then she heard him say, "Oh right, I heard Qin Jiang was also arrested."

An Nuan's expression darkened.

"The mighty young master of the Qin family, I just don't understand why he would be circling around you and Ye Jinghuai! Now look, he's landed himself in detention too. I heard it's ten or twenty days, do you think someone used to enjoying himself like him will get used to being in there?"

"Satisfied enough?" An Nuan said coldly.

"An Nuan, I'm calling you today out of good intentions. Just to tell you not to meddle in other people's business. You better stay out of Ye Jinghuai's affairs, or this time it's Qin Jiang in there, next time it might be you!" Gu Yan Sheng laughed maniacally, then added, "You tell me, isn't this karma coming full circle? Did you ever think that one day you'd be forced into this situation, just like how you forced me back then?!"

"So you're telling me that the corruption and bribery case against Ye Jinghuai was orchestrated by you?!"

"What nonsense are you talking!" Gu Yan Sheng was fuming.

No matter how smug he was, he still had his caution.

He wouldn't admit it from his own mouth.

And An Nuan's purpose was simple, to make Gu Yan Sheng shut up!

And the best way to make him shut up wasn't hanging up on him, but to make him afraid to speak.

"I'm just telling you to mind your own business!" Gu Yan Sheng abruptly hung up the phone.

It seemed he wouldn't dare call and gloat again,

still afraid that she might really trick him into admitting something.

An Nuan put down her phone, her expression not looking good.

Hu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Madam, is the situation not optimistic now?"

"Not optimistic," An Nuan didn't hide it. "I'm starting to suspect that we've fallen into their trap!"

"What do you mean?"

"The first thing we did after getting off the plane was go to Ye Jinghuai's house, but we were immediately asked to leave by officials, which gave us the false impression that there might be something fishy going on, making us want to find a way in. But today when we went in, no one stopped us. No matter how Qin Jiang tried to divert attention, there shouldn't have been not a single person there. I was inside for so long, and no one came to stop me."

Hu Feng's thinking was simpler.

Since An Nuan didn't explain clearly, he still couldn't understand.

She further explained, "This is enough to prove that they deliberately let us come here. They must have known that if we wanted to get in, we would definitely try to divert their attention, and the most likely way would be to create a disturbance elsewhere to divide their focus. So they must have anticipated that we would have someone cause a commotion at the Ministry of Politics on purpose, and their aim was precisely for us to do that, so they could arrest the person causing the disturbance."

After speaking, An Nuan's expression turned even colder.

On the way back in the car, she had been thinking about this matter.

Gu Yan Sheng calling her, although he didn't dare admit it outright, his smugness clearly showed that his scheme had succeeded.
