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

Chapter 514

An Nuan was a bit speechless.

Qin Jiang also seemed to realize that he had gotten a little too carried away and said something he shouldn't have.

He cleared his throat, "Those women, Ye Jinghuai was never serious about them."

An Nuan didn't bother arguing.

After all, she was well aware of what kind of person Ye Jinghuai had been before.

As the saying goes, a reformed rake is worth more than gold.

She could console herself with that.

She said, "But the fact that they want to get rid of us so aggressively, doesn't it suggest that their evidence against Ye Jinghuai might not be as watertight as we think? If it truly was ironclad, they wouldn't be so anxious. Which means, it shouldn't be difficult to find evidence against Ye Jinghuai, we just need to investigate, and we'll definitely find something."

"The tricky part is that we can't really investigate freely right now. They've been watching us so closely, and although we've evaded their surveillance for now, we'll be spotted immediately if we go out." Qin Jiang was frustrated.

"So we need to pinpoint our locations. We can't investigate blindly. The more purposeful and efficient we are, the harder it will be for them to stop us."

"What's your plan?" Qin Jiang looked at An Nuan.

He truly felt that this woman could play a pivotal role in this matter.

"First, the key witness in Ye Jinghuai's corruption case is definitely being secretly protected by the police, so we can't contact them or get any useful information from them. No need to waste time there. Second, when we went to Ye Jinghuai's residence, the police showed up immediately to stop us, which suggests there's definitely something fishy about that place. Considering the cash found at Ye Jinghuai's house was the key evidence of his crimes, how did they even get inside in the first place? That's a mystery, so we absolutely need to go there! Third, we need to obtain the financial statements from the Ministry of Politics in Jiang City and scrutinize them thoroughly to see if they're cooked like the evidence against Ye Jinghuai. If they're falsified, we'll definitely find a trail. And we can have Nan Chen handle getting the financial statements from the Ministry." An Nuan laid out all the key points clearly, then said seriously, "In summary, our top priority now is to get into Ye Jinghuai's residential community and his house to search for evidence."

"Got it." Qin Jiang agreed immediately.

He truly admired how meticulous and decisive she was when it came to tasks, able to cut right to the heart of what would benefit them most.

"We need to discuss how we can avoid their surveillance and get to the places we want to go." An Nuan became more serious.

Qin Jiang was deep in thought as well.

"There are probably a lot of people secretly watching Ye Jinghuai's community right now. If we show even the slightest hint of our intentions, we might be discovered. How can we make them let their guard down about the places we want to go?" An Nuan muttered to herself.

Her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to accomplish her plan.

Qin Jiang was pondering the same question.

The silence between the two filled the room.

Then suddenly, the phone rang.

An Nuan was startled.

Qin Jiang was also caught off guard by the abrupt sound.

It was almost midnight.

Who the hell was calling at this hour?

When An Nuan saw the caller ID, her expression soured. "It's Gu Yan Sheng. Should I answer?"

"Up to you," Qin Jiang said in an unpleasant tone.

"Can they track our location through the cell signal?" An Nuan asked.

She was worried that Gu Yan Sheng was calling to try and figure out where she was.

"They can't trace this location," Qin Jiang stated bluntly. "We've tampered with this cell tower. Meaning, even if they try to trace the signal to the tower, the tower address they find will be miles away. They won't be able to pinpoint this location."

An Nuan nodded.

Of course, she was curious about just how powerful they were to be able to tamper with cell tower data in North Wen Country.

She gritted her teeth and answered the call.

Gu Yan Sheng's mocking voice came through, "It took you so long to answer? I thought you'd be up all night, tossing and turning."

"What do you want to say?"

"Weren't you always boasting about marrying a great man? Is this it? Are you satisfied with this?! You couldn't even control yourself with a little bit of power?! You've really never seen the bigger world out there, have you?! I really thought Ye Jinghuai must be something special! The so-called time management expert, highly educated, business genius, lawyer, and all that crap. Doesn't it feel like a slap in the face now?!" The voice on the other end sounded increasingly excited, as if releasing all the pent-up resentment from a lifetime, reveling in the moment. "An Nuan, does your face hurt?"

An Nuan let out a cold laugh.

She knew exactly why Gu Yan Sheng was calling.

After being oppressed by her and Ye Jinghuai for so long, now that Ye Jinghuai had fallen from grace, of course he wanted to vent and lash out.

She said, "Whatever happened to Ye Jinghuai is his own business. What do you have to brag about in front of me?! The Gu Group is in shambles internally, and your career at the Ministry of Politics has stagnated, with so many issues. You have the audacity to come and taunt me?! Gu Yan Sheng, even if Ye Jinghuai is facing trouble, how does that help you in any way?! What gives you the right to mock others?! Don't tell me you think with Ye Jinghuai out of the way, you have a chance now?"

An Nuan's scathing words clearly enraged Gu Yan Sheng.

He was about to retort, but An Nuan didn't give him a chance to speak. "If that's really how you think, then it only proves that you're inferior to Ye Jinghuai. You can only progress without Ye Jinghuai around, which means you're just settling for second best!"

"An Nuan! You're way too arrogant!" Gu Yan Sheng was fuming. "Do you really think that just because you've suppressed the Gu Group and made it difficult for me at the Ministry of Politics, you and Ye Jinghuai have completely crushed me? An Nuan, you're underestimating me! Do you really think you've reached your current position purely by luck?! Let me tell you, I'm about to make you regret this dearly!"

An Nuan frowned slightly.

This time, she truly felt that Gu Yan Sheng wasn't just making empty threats.

This man seemed to have some sort of plot brewing.

She gritted her teeth, "What are you going to do?"

"Heh, you want to know?" Gu Yan Sheng sneered coldly.

An Nuan didn't respond.

"Do I have to tell you just because you want to know? An Nuan, to put it bluntly, if you listen to me obediently and be with me properly, maybe you'll have a few more good years left. But if you insist on defying me like this, then don't blame me for not being gentle with the consequences!"

"Gu Yan Sheng!"

"Tomorrow, you'll see just how powerful I can be!"

With that, Gu Yan Sheng abruptly hung up.

An Nuan's expression darkened.

"That despicable little Gu Yan Sheng threatened you again?" Qin Jiang's face also looked grim.

He hadn't really taken Gu Yan Sheng seriously before, but now he couldn't help but feel disgusted.

This guy was vile enough.
