Film and Television: The Villain's Life Begins with Joy of Life

Zhou Cheng had no idea how much turmoil Zhan Yuanyuan's unintentional words had stirred up in Fan Xian's heart.

That same day, Fan Xian dispatched people to continue investigating Zhan Yuanyuan's detailed information. They needed to thoroughly investigate her background, past, and life details.

Fan Xian's actions caused Yan Bingyun to frown deeply.

Unable to resist reminding Fan Xian that he had a fiancée, Fan Xian was speechless.

Even with the capabilities of the Investigation Bureau, Fan Xian couldn't possibly obtain the information he wanted immediately.

He waited like that, but soon he couldn't care less about Zhan Yuanyuan anymore.

Wu Zhu is back!

They not only brought back news of Shijia Town, but also three prisoners.

That's right, there are three!

Fan Wujiu did not die.

Wu Zhu was entrusted by Fan Xian to go to Shijia Town, not only to prevent a possible tragedy, but also to capture several key witnesses.

Fan Wujiu was quite skilled; he even dared to intercept him alone.

He thought it might be useful, so he held back and only kicked Fan Wujiu to the ground before carrying him back to the capital like a chicken.

Upon seeing Fan Wujiu, Fan Xian was overjoyed.

Compared to Xie Bi'an, who was known as "one sword that breaks through time", Fan Wujiu was not very famous. But no matter how unknown he was, he was still a trusted retainer of the Second Prince and a figure who could be considered a big shot in the capital.

With such an important witness, Fan Xian dared not make a fuss, but secretly informed Chen Pingping.

Soon, Chen Pingping sent people to take Fan Wujiu and two other experts who had participated in the massacre of the town away and imprison them in the dungeon of the Observation Institute.

In the dungeon, the three were naturally met with endless torture.

It is worth mentioning that neither of the two men who massacred the town admitted to being sent by the Crown Prince. Instead, they insisted that they were subordinates of the Second Prince.

Fan Xian, who was in charge of the trial, hadn't said anything yet, but Fan Wujiu, who was being tortured with him, was furious.

Blame it on me!

This is a blatant case of someone being framed!

How could he not know whether these two guys were Li Chengze's disciples or not?

Unfortunately, there's nothing he can do now.

Others are willing to risk their lives to shift the blame, what can he do?

As for himself, he was barely able to protect himself.

He never expected that his confident interception would backfire so spectacularly. Now, not only has the matter failed, but he has also become Li Chengze's biggest weakness.

He hesitated for a moment, unsure of what to do.

.......

Guangxin Palace, sleeping quarters.

Zhou Cheng sat on the edge of the couch, one arm around Li Yunrui's waist, the other gently resting on her protruding belly.

It's been six months.

Her belly was already bulging high, and no matter how loose the palace dress was, it couldn't be hidden.

Since becoming pregnant, she has not stepped out of Guangxin Palace.

He only kept a few trusted confidants to serve him, and the ordinary palace maids couldn't even get close to the door of his bedchamber.

Such days were dull and monotonous, like being in prison. She felt stifled and wanted to go crazy and throw a tantrum, but she only had her confidants by her side, so she couldn't vent her anger. She could only ask Zhou Cheng to come to the palace every now and then, openly or secretly, to keep her company and calm her down.

"You gave all the evidence of the smuggling to Fan Xian?" Li Yunrui leaned back on the soft pillows, her pregnant belly protruding, staring suspiciously at the man drawing circles on her stomach. "You didn't give me mine too, did you?"

Zhou Cheng didn't want to speak, so he just gave her a look.

Li Yunrui gave a soft hum.

Zhou Cheng continued to gently stroke her stomach as he spoke:

"Find a way to inform Li Chengze that Fan Wujiu is being held in the Forensic Academy's dungeon. Once the Second Prince gets anxious, have Zhu Ge arrange for someone to silence him. After it's done, do the Second Prince a favor."

Li Yunrui paused, his brows furrowing slightly. "You gave the smuggling evidence to Fan Xian precisely so he could gather witnesses and physical evidence to bring down the Second Prince?"

She looked at him, puzzled. "Now there's clearly an opportunity to turn Fan Wujiu into..."
