An Nuan stared blankly at Qin Jiang.
Qin Jiang said urgently and quickly, "Last year when it was his birthday, I gave Ye Jinghuai a globally limited edition phone. I even went to queue up in M Country to get it for him. It hasn't even been released in our country yet."
Xiao Nanchen quickly turned to look at An Nuan and asked, "Your cousin is talking about the phone, right?"
"Should be," An Nuan thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.
"Then your cousin means that all the evidence is in his phone."
"Damn, how did I not think of that," Qin Jiang slapped his forehead heavily and said, "I should have thought of it earlier, apart from his computer, it must be his phone!"
"It's easy for things stored in a phone to be discovered," Xiao Nanchen spoke up, "None of us thought about that, but the most dangerous place is the safest place. Besides, there are many hiding software on phones. I had specifically installed some for my cousin before, I just forgot about it."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"So the current situation is, we need to get Ye Jinghuai's phone," An Nuan stated directly, proceeding to the next step.
"Ye Jinghuai's computer, phone and all his belongings have been confiscated. If we try to get them through proper procedures, they will definitely suspect us. Once they suspect us, it will draw their attention and end up being counterproductive. If we don't go through the proper procedures..." Xiao Nanchen looked at Qin Jiang, "Can you use your connections to get them?"
"I don't know, I need to ask my dad," Qin Jiang said uncertainly, "I heard that the ones who went after Ye Jinghuai this time were from the main branch of the Aristocratic Family. When I was detained in Jiang City, my dad personally went there and tried to pull all the strings he could, but it was useless. In the end, I still had to wait so many days before getting out. You can imagine, they won't give my dad any face. So if my dad tries to pull some strings privately, it's not that he's unwilling, but I'm afraid we might end up making things worse."
"So it means that both the open and secret routes are blocked now."
"Then we won't go through our channels," An Nuan made a prompt decision.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Nanchen asked.
"It's obvious that Ye Jinghuai hasn't committed any crime. We don't need to investigate too much truth now. All we need is a fair trial, and with the evidence we currently have, we can clear eighty percent of his charges," An Nuan told them, "So what we lack now is not evidence, but someone to give a fair trial."
"Tell us your plan," Xiao Nanchen was very supportive.
"The Jun Family currently holds such great power in the Aristocratic Families. Whoever they protect can live prosperously under their wings. To put it bluntly, the mastermind behind this must be Gu Yan Sheng, and the Jun Family is secretly backing him. But now, the people giving Ye Jinghuai a trial are from the Jun Family. Even if we win the case and Ye Jinghuai is found innocent and released, the ones who framed him will still be at large! After all that Ye Jinghuai has suffered, is it worth it?"
"Not worth it!" Qin Jiang said fiercely, "I want to drag Gu Yan Sheng out and cut him into pieces!"
"Exactly, not worth it. More importantly, if we only cut the grass without getting rid of the roots, we may have narrowly escaped this time, but what about next time? And the time after that?!" An Nuan looked at Qin Jiang and Xiao Nanchen, "This time, we must make sure Gu Yan Sheng dies a miserable death, and give the Jun Family a heavy blow! We need to tell them bluntly that we are not to be trifled with!"
"I fully support that!" Qin Jiang was very excited.
Just imagining that scene made every cell in his body boil with anticipation.
"And now, the only ones who can still counterbalance the Jun Family are..." An Nuan paused.
Xiao Nanchen said, "The Jun Family."
An Nuan nodded.
Qin Jiang's expression darkened slightly, "The Jun Family may not necessarily be good people either."
"True, those at the pinnacle of power can't be called good people. But as long as our interests align, we can reach a consensus."
Qin Jiang frowned.
"For so many years, the two great Aristocratic Families appeared peaceful on the surface, but they've actually been harboring turbulent undercurrents. The reason the Jun Family hasn't made a move is not because they've compromised with the Jun Family, but because they didn't have a catalyst. Neither family dares to provoke the other recklessly, as those standing the highest value their reputations the most. Otherwise, it's hard to command respect. What we're giving the Jun Family now is a legitimate reason to directly confront the Jun Family."
"You mean, you want to get the Jun Family to handle Ye Jinghuai's case?" Qin Jiang exclaimed in disbelief.
He had never even thought of this.
This would involve both great Aristocratic Families.
"There is no other choice but the Jun Family."
Qin Jiang fell silent.
Xiao Nanchen was also silent.
Both were considering the possibility of this plan and the dangers it might bring.
"Otherwise," An Nuan spoke directly, "Not only is the outcome of Ye Jinghuai's case unknown, but Gu Yan Sheng will definitely remain unscathed."
"Alright!" Qin Jiang, being an impulsive person, suddenly agreed, "Let's go to the Jun Family!"
Xiao Nanchen glanced at Qin Jiang, then also nodded in agreement.
"Then tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Capital City to find Jun Mingche," An Nuan said word by word.
Jun Mingche.
Rumored to be the most capable descendant of the Jun Family, highly regarded by them.
Much of the Jun Family's power was in Jun Mingche's hands.
To confront the Jun Family, Jun Mingche was the most suitable candidate.
"Okay," Qin Jiang readily agreed again.
"Tomorrow, Qin Jiang will go with me, while Xiao Nanchen stays in Qing City. You can watch over things if any emergencies come up."
"Got it."
"Tomorrow we won't take a plane, we'll drive there," An Nuan said directly, "We'll travel in secret."
"I understand," Qin Jiang nodded, "What time are we leaving tomorrow?"
"We'll leave after we're well-rested," An Nuan said, not rushing things.
After all, it was a long journey, over twelve hours by car.
In any major situation, the body is the most important thing.
If the body fails, everything else is in vain.
"Then we'll leave tonight," Qin Jiang made the arrangements directly, "It's easier to travel in secret at night."
"Okay."
"Then I'll go make preparations right away," Qin Jiang got up to leave.
"Xiao Nanchen," An Nuan called out to him, "You can go back with Qin Jiang. You've been working hard these past few days too, so go back and rest early."
"Alright."
Qin Jiang and Xiao Nanchen didn't delay any further and left.
Xiao Nanchen drove Qin Jiang back.
On the deep night streets, Qin Jiang suddenly spoke up, "I feel like An Nuan has already helped us start the war early."
"That's why my cousin said before that An Nuan has helped us advance by at least ten years!" Xiao Nanchen smiled slightly, "We really can't underestimate a woman's power."
Qin Jiang nodded.
This time, he was truly convinced of An Nuan's capabilities!
