After she left her father and kept her son, President Pei lost control and knelt down.

In an instant, everyone present gathered around.

"What right do you have to handcuff me? Untie me!"

Sun Anhui was holding her daughter's hand tightly, while Jiang Taotian was arguing with one of the men wearing a hat.

"Do you even know who we are before you dare to arrest people? I am the Third Master of the Jiang Mansion, and my daughter is the Fifth Daughter of the Jiang Mansion. Do you want to be arrested and executed?! Release them right now!"

The eldest and second eldest sons of the Chiang family were known as the two political giants, the top two most powerful figures in Beijing. Jiang Chunzhi was the third son among the brothers. In her early years, she relied on her brothers' resources to reap the benefits, monopolized resources, and occupied half of the national jewelry market.

At its peak, even the century-old Pei family could only look up to it. However, in the past two years, the investigations have been stricter, and the family has become much more restrained. In addition, ill-gotten gains cannot be kept, and the Jiang Mansion is showing signs of decline.

But this did not stop them from lording it over others in the capital.

Uncle Hat took out an arrest warrant and unfolded it in front of Jiang Taotian: "Mr. Jiang, I know that you have two very powerful people in your family, but there are no powerful people before the law. Jiang Chunzhi is suspected of attempted murder, kidnapping and coercing women into prostitution, smuggling illegal and prohibited items, and other crimes. We are arresting her in accordance with regulations. If your family cooperates, she can have fewer crimes to face."

The words had barely left his mouth when they caused a huge uproar in the room.

Everyone was talking about it.

"She did all of this by herself?"

"They seem so respectable, but they've been doing so many disgusting things behind the scenes."

"I also heard that Zhang Manman's death was related to her. She was not a piano diva at all. It was just that Zhang Manman was putting on a show with her backstage."

"I saw this news a long time ago, but at that time no one believed it and even said it was a rumor and a smear campaign. The storm quickly passed, and the whole internet was praising her."

"The internet still remembers, doesn't it? By the way, she's done a lot of bad things to Young Master Pei's wife in private. Do you think this could be the wife's revenge?"

When Jiang Chunzhi's group of friends sensed something was wrong, they changed their tune like weather vanes and joined the crowd in digging up her past.

"Mrs. Pei suffers from depression. She replaced her medication with illegal drugs, poisoning Mrs. Pei for more than three years. This alone is enough to convict her."

"Exactly, exactly. Also, her private life abroad is very messy. She sleeps with big shots just to get some business resources to curry favor with Pei Hansheng. It's a joke. Who cares if she does these things? It's just an attempt to morally blackmail her."

"Tsk tsk, disgusting! A jeweler's heiress, a noble lady of the capital? Bah!"

The insults poured into Jiang Chunzhi and her parents' ears like a torrent. They valued their reputation above all else, and now they had completely lost face.

Enraged, Jiang Taotian roared at Jiang Chunzhi, "Are these people telling the truth? Have you done these things?"

Jiang Chunzhi shook her head, crying. The handcuffs had cut her wrists raw, and she cried out in excruciating pain, "I didn't, Dad! It's all that bitch Qiao Wan's fault! She slandered me and framed me! Dad, you must clear my name and send her to jail!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Taotian glanced at the crowd and said, "Where is Qiao Wan? Drag her out! She dared to slander my daughter; I'll make her pay!"

Qiao Wan walked through the crowd and came to Jiang Taotian.

"I'm right here. If you insist that I defamed your daughter, I have plenty of evidence that I haven't submitted. You're welcome to sue me. See you in court."

Jiang Taotian narrowed his eyes: "I should have sent you in with me! You killed my son and tried to turn our family upside down. How could the Pei family have married such a jinx!"

Qiao Wan sneered, "Still not admitting guilt? Then just wait for your daughter to be ruined."

Jiang Taotian raised his hand, really wanting to slap Qiao Wan to death.

His hand was suspended in mid-air by a force. When he turned around, Pei Hansheng, with a gloomy face, gripped his wrist, cracking his bones.

"Pei Hansheng! Chunzhi is your fiancée, whose side are you on?"

Pei Hansheng glanced at Qiao Wan and said in a calm voice, "Go wait for me in the car."

"I'm not leaving," Qiao Wan said. "Once you get rid of me, it will be easier to release Jiang Chunzhi here."

"No, I promise you, I won't interfere with her this time."

Qiao Wan was stunned for a moment, stared into Pei Hansheng's eyes, and chose to believe him this time.

There were too many people watching her intently; it would be dangerous for her to stay any longer. So she obediently got into Pei Hansheng's car.

Pei Hansheng glanced at the contents of the arrest warrant but said nothing.

"Hansheng, you must come see me and get me released on bail. Mom and Dad, I did nothing wrong. It's all that bitch's fault. You must get justice for me..."

Jiang Chunzhi was dragged into a police car by two men wearing hats, and her voice faded into the distance.

Sun Anhui was stunned, her mouth agape as she backed away, her face paler than a corpse.

She knew her daughter best; she was clever and cunning, and these things might actually be true. She just hadn't expected that even Pei Hansheng wouldn't protect her anymore.

Jiang Taotian called his two older brothers on his phone. He'd barely mentioned that Jiang Chunzhi had been taken away when they launched into a tirade of abuse: "Look at the good daughter you raised! Now even I'm getting dragged into this! We need to sever all ties and never see each other again!"

Jiang Tao was struck dumb: "Brother, how could this happen? You're the top leader, and even you couldn't protect Chunzhi, what else can I do?"

"The higher-ups received my whistleblower letter. I don't know who did it, but I'm under investigation now."

When the call was disconnected, Jiang Taotian felt as if the earth was collapsing and the sky was about to fall.

Qiao Wan, this woman looks weak and harmless, how could she do such a shocking thing, almost uprooting the deep-rooted network of relationships in their Jiang Mansion.

There must be someone helping her behind the scenes, and that person must be powerful enough, otherwise she wouldn't be able to make any waves at all.

"Hansheng, Uncle, please, please plead for Chunzhi. Nanhe just left. If he knew that Chunzhi had been through this, he would die with his eyes wide open in disbelief."

Jiang Taotian, who was always arrogant, actually knelt down in front of Pei Hansheng and kowtowed three times.

"Uncle Jiang, please get up."

Pei Hansheng helped the person up, his expression grave.

"Uncle, who do you want me to beg?"

"Please, Qiao Wan, tell her to go to the police station and write a statement saying that she was confused for a moment, made a false police report, and wronged Chunzhi. I will give her enough benefits. She is so greedy, let her ask for whatever she wants, I will give her as much as she wants."

Pei Hansheng remained silent for a moment as he faced Jiang Taotian, who was weeping uncontrollably.

Jiang Taotian had treated him well, like a second father, and had helped him a lot in his business. It was neither reasonable nor emotionally appropriate for him to refuse.

Sun Anhui also knelt down with a thud: "Hansheng, you certainly don't want Chunzhi to go in, do you? Do you want Nanhe to be anxiously pacing around in heaven?"
