The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Even without seeing his face, the first image that popped into Jiang Nan's mind was that cold yet handsome face...

The familiar voice rang out above him again: "You're getting bolder and bolder. Aren't you really that afraid of death?"

Jiang Nan froze, slowly raising her face to meet Xiao Beixun's deep, dark eyes. In just one glance, Jiang Nan felt an immense sense of peace.

"With you here, I won't die," Jiang Nan said proudly, and these words came from her heart.

Xiao Beixun frowned almost imperceptibly, his eyes meeting Jiang Nan's resolute face.

"Madman." Xiao Beixun curled his thin lips.

Jiang Nan raised an eyebrow at him, her eyes carrying a mischievous charm.

At this moment, Luo Ke came in from the back door with his men and ordered them to take away the male waiter who was in unbearable pain. Only then did he respectfully report to Xiao Beixun: "Third Master, everything has been taken care of."

Xiao Beixun hummed in agreement: "Interrogate them thoroughly."

Rock nodded.

Xiao Beixun released Jiang Nan, his dark eyes sweeping over her: "Leave, or stay here?"

"Of course I'm going back." A shrewd glint flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes as he lifted his foot and left through the back door.

These people tonight clearly wanted to kidnap her. The fact that she wasn't kidnapped must mean the people behind it are very anxious, right?

Once in the car, Jiang Nan heard Xiao Beixun's deep voice: "Miss Jiang has made quite a few enemies, yet so many people want to get rid of you."

Jiang Nan turned her face to meet his probing gaze, and smiled fearlessly: "That's right, so many people want to deal with me, Third Master, why don't you take pity on me and marry me?"

Xiao Beixun curled his thin lips coldly: "I see you're enjoying it, so you're not afraid."

"Scared? What good would it do me to be scared?" Jiang Nan's lips curved into an even higher smile, her eyes even more clear and bright, like a proud rose, beautiful, radiant, and stubborn. That indomitable spirit made Xiao Beixun frown slightly.

"He really has a proud nature." He turned his face away, his voice still deep.

Jiang Nan was now familiar with him and knew that behind that aura was a calm emotion, indicating that he wasn't angry. Of course, he didn't seem like he was meddling in other people's business either.

"Will the Third Master interrogate those people after he takes them away?" Jiang Nan asked, seizing the opportunity to clarify, as she needed evidence.

Xiao Beixun raised an eyebrow at her again: "Yes."

"If the DNA test brings good news, I'll give you a big gift." Xiao Beixun finally relented.

Jiang Nan's eyes lit up, and she smiled brightly: "Then I'll thank you in advance, Third Master. I'm looking forward to your generous gift."

Xiao Beixun's words made his stance clear, but also showed that he was truly cautious. Before the test results were available, he clearly wouldn't interfere in her affairs. Of course, Jiang Nan's words were enough; at least he had made his stance clear.

She could easily guess that tonight's events were related to Qi Nianci and her daughter; Lin Zhengmin at the company worked for them. But what was the connection between that General Manager Lin and them? It seemed she needed to investigate.

Jiang Nan returned to the hotel to rest. Back at her room, she swiped her card, and with a beep, the door unlocked. She turned her head slightly; the surveillance camera above her was clearly visible. She glanced at it, then smiled at Xiao Beixun: "Third Master, goodnight."

Xiao Beixun gave a faint "hmm" and continued walking inside.

Back in his room, Jiang Nan called Chen Lin to tell her he was back at the hotel. Although Chen Lin found it strange, she didn't ask anything and left the banquet as well.

Xiao Ziqian was frantic when he couldn't find Jiang Nan, repeatedly calling him without getting through. It wasn't until he learned from Chen Lin that Jiang Nan had returned to the hotel that his brow furrowed deeply.

Unable to find Xiao Beixun, Ji Yishu immediately went to Xiao Ziqian. Learning that Jiang Nan was also absent, she glared at him and demanded, "Do you still think there's nothing between them?"

Xiao Ziqian tugged at his tie in frustration: "Ridiculous, what could they possibly have done?"

Ji Yishu could tell that he still didn't believe her, so she didn't bother to say anything more and turned to leave.

Xiao Ziqian felt a surge of displeasure; his previously dissipated suspicions rekindled. Could it be that Jiang Nan and his third uncle really had something going on? Impossible! Xiao Ziqian felt that someone as noble and proud as Xiao Beixun would never do something like stealing his nephew's girlfriend.

Mr. Lin came up to him again, wanting to have a drink with him, but he refused in a bad mood and strode away from the banquet.

Just then, Mr. Lin's phone rang. He answered it, and after hearing what was said on the other end, his face instantly darkened: "Useless! You can't even handle this small matter!"

After hanging up the phone, President Lin's gaze turned sinister: Could tonight's events have exposed something?

After showering, Jiang Nan dried his hair and picked up his phone from the bedside table. He saw several calls from Xiao Ziqian and over a dozen WeChat messages. He glanced at them, ignoring the earlier ones and focusing only on the last few:

[Nan Nan, has something happened to you lately? Why? You seem a bit strange.]

Is there something I didn't do well enough? Please tell me.

After reading the message, Jiang Nan's eyes were filled with cold indifference, but she still replied: 【No.】

The message had just been sent when the phone rang. It was Xiao Ziqian calling.

A look of surprise flashed in Jiang Nan's eyes; it was past eleven o'clock at night.

Xiao Ziqian didn't even have to accompany Wen Wan on the phone call.

She stood by the bed and answered the phone.

Xiao Ziqian's voice immediately came from the other end: "Nannan, you finally replied to my message. Where are you now?"

"At the hotel." Jiang Nan's voice was cold and distant.

Xiao Ziqian didn't notice and asked further, "Why did you go back without saying a word tonight? I looked for you all night, I was so worried about you, I was really afraid something had happened to you."

Xiao Ziqian's tone was full of worry.

Jiang Nanmei's eyes were now filled with indifference.

If she hadn't known those things, she would have truly been deceived by his gentle exterior.

"I wasn't feeling well, so I came back early."

"What's wrong? Why are you feeling unwell?" Xiao Ziqian's voice was filled with worry and anxiety.

Jiang Nan felt that tonight's events might also be related to Xiao Ziqian.

He was originally in cahoots with Qi Nianci and Wen Wan.

These people tonight were clearly sent by them.

Jiang Nan's voice carried a hint of sarcasm: "You ate something you shouldn't have, and you're feeling a little unwell. I thought you knew."

This statement is full of innuendo.

Xiao Ziqian was a little confused. "If I had known, I would have brought you back myself. Nan Nan, I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

Xiao Ziqian spoke with gentle concern.

Jiang Nan didn't believe a word of it.

He then made an excuse and hung up the phone.

Xiao Ziqian stood there, holding his phone, stunned.

He always felt that Jiang Nan seemed to know something, but then he thought it was impossible.

Given Jiang Nan's personality, if he really knew something, how could he be so calm?

It seems he really needs to marry Jiang Nan as soon as possible.

Jiang Nan hung up the phone and went to blow-dry her hair.

She was really tired tonight.

After drying her hair, she lay in bed, thought for a moment, and then called Qin Huan to tell her what had happened that night.

Qin Huan was extremely shocked: "They're going to kidnap you? Do they intend to use the same tricks again to ruin you?"

Jiang Nan had guessed their motives, and these were the only things he could figure out.

She understood Qi Nianci, who believed that once a woman's body was defiled, she would inevitably compromise and submit.

Over these fourteen years, the words Qi Nianci said to her most often were:

"A woman's body belongs to whoever she gives it to."

Otherwise, Qi Nianci wouldn't have been so vicious as to want Xiao Ziqian to get rid of her so early.

Jiang Nan wasn't surprised at all. "Now that I'm in the company and the wedding has been postponed, they're bound to get anxious."

"They might be wondering now if I know something."

Qin Huan said worriedly, "You must be more careful in what you do from now on, and you must be extra cautious."

Jiang Nan hummed in agreement, "I know."

"By the way, how's the investigation I asked you to do going?"

Last night, Jiang Nan sent a WeChat message to Qin Huan.

Ask Qin Huan to help investigate the Jiang family's legal team.

The person who handled the will left by the mother was most likely the legal team hired by the Jiang Group.

Although Qin Huan is an illegitimate child, she has many connections in this circle, so investigating this small matter is a piece of cake for her.

Just as Qin Huan was about to say this, "I have news. I'll send the information over."

Qin Huan performed a few steps.

Jiang Nan received the email immediately.

Jiang Nan said thank you.

Qin Huan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Nan Nan, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

"Tell me," Jiang Nan asked, puzzled.

Qin Huan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fourteen years ago you were so young, and your mother was still young too. Under what circumstances would she have thought of making a will?"

"Do you think it's possible that back then, your mother discovered your uncle's family's conspiracy, and that your mother, and even your father, might not have died in an accident?"

Qin Huan's words were like heavy drops falling on a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Jiang Nan gasped: "You mean to say that my parents were very likely killed by them?"

Although Qin Huan felt the possibility was cruel, she still said, "It's very possible."

Jiang Nan's heart trembled violently.

She didn't originally want to tell Qin Huan about the will, but when she asked Qin Huan to check with a lawyer last night, she mentioned it casually.

Qin Huan's guess immediately aroused Jiang Nan's suspicion.

Fearing she wouldn't be able to accept it, Qin Huan quickly comforted her, "Don't overthink it. This is just my guess. We'll discuss it together when we get back."

"Okay." Jiang Nan slowly hung up the phone, still in shock.

Lying in bed that night, she thought about many things.

I increasingly felt that what Qin Huan said made sense.

Fourteen years ago, she was only nine years old.

My mother and father were college classmates and got married. They founded the Jiang Group together.

Fourteen years ago, my mother was only thirty years old.

The more Jiang Nan thought about it, the more chills she felt throughout her body.

She slept very restlessly that night.

The next morning, Chen Lin and I changed our tickets and rushed back to Hong Kong.

It was already 2 p.m. when we got back to the port city.

Jiang Nan had just turned off airplane mode on her phone when a WeChat message from Xiao Beixun popped up.

Jiang Nan opened the message and his eyes widened suddenly.
