Before he died, my grandfather forced me to marry the richest man in the capital.

The plane landed at the airport in the capital. It was already late at night, and the sky was no longer filled with the brilliant starlight. A black curtain occupied the entire territory.

Just like Han Yue's mood at this moment, he was filled with gloom.

He lifted the suitcase with one hand and placed it on the ground, followed by Su Xue and Lu Jinnan.

"I'll go with you to the police station," Lu Jinnan asked Han Yue with slight concern.

Han Yue didn't seem that worried, just a little unhappy. His handsome face was cold, and his brows were slightly furrowed. "No need, you can go back."

Seeing that he said that, Lu Jinnan stopped being coy and took Su Xue's hand, walking out of the airport. "Let's go."

After the two left, Han Yue was left standing there texting. He clicked on the profile picture of someone holding 11 roses and felt much happier: Safe landing, goodnight.

Just as Han Yue put his phone in his pocket, a message came in. The girl hadn't slept at all: "Brother Yue, have you arrived yet?"

Han Yue sighed, put down his suitcase, and replied earnestly while holding his phone in both hands: "Yeah, it's late, why aren't you asleep?"

The top of the screen showed that the other party was typing. Han Yue waited patiently for the text to appear. Soon the message appeared: I'll wait for you to arrive in the capital. I can only sleep after you arrive safely.

No matter how many stars there are in the sky, none of them will shine just for you. But there are so many girls in the world, and there is one girl in the distance who stays up all night just to wait for you to get home safely.

Han Yue stared at his phone screen for a while, a smile involuntarily spreading across his face: "The little princess doesn't stay up late, go to sleep now."

Lan Yunxi wasn't so obedient: So, are you home yet?

Han Yue: Soon.

Lan Yunxi: Then I'll wait until you get home before I go to sleep.

I probably won't be able to get home today. My destination is the police station. If I lie and say I got home, the girl might say she's taking pictures and I'll be exposed.

Han Yue: I have to go to Tissot later, so I won't be home that soon. You go to sleep first. I'm a bit busy these days and may not receive your messages.

Lan Yunxi was a little puzzled, wondering why she couldn't receive any messages despite being busy, but she still obediently replied: Oh.

Han Yue: Sweet dreams.

Lan Yunxi playfully teases: I'll definitely dream about you.

Han Yue: Hmm.

I put away my phone, picked up my suitcase with one hand, and walked towards the parking lot. I had driven here the day I arrived, and the car was parked in an airport parking space.

He walked straight to the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver's seat. His sharp features no longer held the smile he had just had.

I received a parking payment notification on my phone. After paying, I sent a message to my father: I'll handle this myself, don't interfere.

Tiss had been running his business for so many years without incident; it was as if no one had ever dared to mess with him. But this happened just when he went to Blue City.

The car went directly to the police station, and after parking, the driver went inside with his hands in his pockets.

As Han Yue had predicted, he did not come out that night, and probably wouldn't come out tomorrow either; it was entirely expected.

Tiss has been shut down and will only be able to reopen after the matter is investigated.

The following evening, two men interrogated a woman in a coffee shop, their tone neither kind nor harsh.

The man in the suit and tie showed no emotion on his face, only asking calmly, "Miss Wei, the incident involving the person slurping noodles happened in your private room. As someone who was there, are you aware of the whole story?"

Lu Jinnan sat to one side, observing the expression on the face of the woman in the Chanel suit without saying a word, a stark contrast to his usual carefree demeanor.

Wei Ning's dyed curly hair cascaded over her shoulders, with a few strands falling across her chest. She wore light makeup; she never wore heavy makeup when she wasn't making an appearance. Her long, bright red nails rested on a white coffee cup. She scoffed, "Does Master Ji suspect me?"

Before Ji Hancheng could speak, Wei Ning continued, "Master Ji knows that I would never harm him, let alone anyone else."

The "he" in this context naturally refers to Han Yue. Wei Ning has had a crush on Han Yue for so many years that she has lost track of time. She simply accompanies him day after day, and as long as Tiss doesn't go bankrupt, she will continue to support him, even if she is the top performer.

Lu Jinnan was caught off guard by this bombshell. His expression was even more complex than Wei Ning's. He turned to the woman beside him and asked, "You like Han Yue?"

I still can't believe it. Before he got the marriage certificate, he was staying in Tiss every few days. How come I didn't notice anything? What about Han Yue? Didn't he know either?

This is a disaster! What will happen if the little princess finds out? Oh my god, can things get any more chaotic?

Wei Ning readily admitted, "Yes, it's been many years, Master Ji knows."

Ji Hancheng was very curious. A few years ago, when he asked Wei Ning to act in a movie and it went viral, this woman was still very uneasy. After not seeing her for a long time, she no longer had that fear. Instead, it was like chatting with an acquaintance, without a trace of timidity.

Before boarding the plane, Han Yue sent Ji Hancheng a message: Investigate Wei Ning.

Three simple words, but Ji Hancheng already understood. At the same time, Xu Mingkai, somewhere else, was leading a group of people to question the other girls from that night.

Ji Hancheng leaned on the sofa with one hand and asked slowly, "Since Miss Wei has such deep feelings for Han Yue, why don't you tell us what happened that night?"

Lu Jinnan wiped his face, trying to calm himself down. This was quite a juicy story. He'd share it with his wife when he got back. Right now, he needed to observe Wei Ning's expression closely to see if she was telling the truth.

However, if she had truly liked Han Yue for so many years, she would never do something so disloyal, after all, that person was Han Yue.

That's what Lu Jinnan thought.

Wei Ning took a sip of coffee, slowly put it down, and a bittersweet feeling of unrequited love lingered in her eyes. She began to speak softly, "The night Tiss had his accident, a rich second-generation guy picked me up. To be honest, I was tired of going back and forth between them. They weren't interested in my reputation; it was just their male desire to conquer and prove their own abilities. But there was no way around it. I was Tiss's top performer, and even if I didn't want to, I still had to go out."

Wei Ning's tone was full of helplessness and resentment towards Han Yue's sacrifices. "Over the years, I've developed a high alcohol tolerance. I either drink baijiu or beer, or mix them together, and add some red wine. That night, when we were halfway through the drinking, that rich kid started convulsing. I was quite scared at the time, not knowing what was going on. I saw that he looked wrong, so I called the manager. I just didn't expect that the police would come for a raid, and the rich kid was taken away. That's what happened."

Wei Ning recounted the events simply, as if that was how it went. While speaking, she also talked about her contributions to Han Yue.

"Mr. Ji, has President Han returned?" Wei Ning asked with a worried expression.

Ji Hancheng's face was expressionless; he said calmly, "Experience life inside."

Wei Ning was taken aback, gripping her coffee cup tightly. "When can you come out? If possible, I can fill in."

Lu Jinnan propped his chin on one hand and looked intently at Wei Ning. Han Yue's mother is really lucky with women. First, he has a top courtesan who secretly loves him, and she's even willing to risk her life for him. Second, he has a little princess who confessed to him in person. Only one of them got a response, while the other is probably hopeless. Sigh, what about love?

It's all because of that devilish face, it's a menace to people.

Ji Hancheng crossed his arms and stared intently at Wei Ning, as if trying to see through her. After a long while, he finally spoke, "I'm afraid Miss Wei won't have a chance to prove her loyalty. Someone is insisting that the item was sold to him by Tiss. I'm afraid the President Han you secretly admire won't be coming out anytime soon."

"It could take anywhere from ten days to half a month, or up to three years. By the time they emerge, they'll be middle-aged. It all depends on how long the other party holds their tongue."

After saying that, Ji Hancheng stood up and strode out, completely ignoring Wei Ning's expression.

Lu Jinnan followed and walked out side by side, asking, "Have you figured it out? Has she betrayed us?"

Ji Hancheng said confidently, "We'll see in two days."

"Two days later, what does that mean?" Lu Jinnan asked, puzzled.

Ji Hancheng then stopped answering his question and lazily said, "Go home and sleep."

Lu Jinnan sighed, "Brother Cheng, don't you think Han Yue and the little princess are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl? They've only known each other for a few days and this has already happened. If Han Yue were to disappear for a few days, wouldn't the little princess be angry again? He could have been released on bail, and they could have found another way to resolve the issue. Why did he have to take the long march route and get himself into trouble?"

Ji Hancheng was incredibly annoyed by the rambling on and on, and frowned. "He probably wants to experience life. You can think of it that way. If you like, I can send you in to keep him company."

Lu Jinnan hurriedly said, "Am I crazy? I have a wife and kids, a warm bed, and I'm so happy. I can even exercise at night."

"I just don't understand why he would go through all this trouble."

Ji Hancheng guessed that if Han Yue wanted to be a clean and good citizen, he had to follow the procedures and not make any moves, otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives caught him doing something wrong, it would cause public outcry.

Ji Hancheng glanced coldly at Lu Jinnan, "Do you think he has supernatural powers and can find out the truth a minute after something happens?"

He wasn't entirely sure what Han Yue was thinking, but Ji Hancheng understood the implications of his actions.

I want everything to be clean, I don't want to leave even the slightest stain, maybe it's for Xixi's sake.

Ji Hancheng kindly reminded him, "You can interpret it as him doing it for Xixi. You can ask him for details when he comes out."

Ji Hancheng couldn't be 100% sure of Han Yue's thoughts either, since they weren't thinking the same thing. He walked expressionlessly toward the car, opened the door, and stepped inside.

As soon as he sat down, he received the results of Xu Mingkai's investigation. The meticulous Xu Mingkai had written a short essay, and every sentence in it was exactly the same as what Wei Ning had said. The word "reciting" floated through Ji Hancheng's mind.

What was left for Lu Jinnan was a head full of questions and a car taillight that shone blindingly in the dim night.

Lu Jinnan stood at the entrance of the coffee shop, still pondering: Why did they say the outcome would be clear in two days? Did Han Yue know the problem and voluntarily go in to fish?

Two—this number really piqued Lu Jinnan's curiosity, and he also felt that Han Yue was a bit silly.

His thoughts were scattered in the wind, and in the end, Lu Jinnan left without a clue. He figured it was more important to go home and share the gossip with his wife.
