CHAPTER 1057: CHAPTER 1057: UNFORESEEN EVENT

"You’ll spoil me like this. What if one day I become unruly?"

Bai Xiao said these words, but her heart was blooming with happiness.

Meeting a man like An Zhiyuan might be her greatest fortune in this lifetime. It could be heaven’s way of compensating for her past sufferings, giving her the greatest blessing—a man who would die for her, leaving no room to doubt his heart.

"I like it, I enjoy it. You are my wife. If I don’t spoil you, who will? Don’t worry! Everything about Bai Xiao is taken care of by me." An Zhiyuan tightly gripped Bai Xiao’s hand, placing it over his heart.

This woman had become an inseparable part of him, apart from his elder brother and father, Bai Xiao was the closest person to him, even more so than his father and brother. He somewhat understood now what they meant by ’forgetting one’s mother after marrying a wife.’

His own mother was gone. If she were still alive, she’d probably feel quite forlorn.

This son pampering his wife like this—back in ancient times, he might be considered one of those foolish rulers who’d rage for their concubine’s sake.

He couldn’t help but smile, the curve of his lips making Bai Xiao feel a little restless.

An Zhiyuan’s attractiveness was too high.

To have such a handsome man as her partner was indeed irresistible.

This rascal, his advances were becoming increasingly overbearing, making her blush and her heart race.

"An Zhiyuan!"

She yelled in anger.

Sitting upright in her seat, ignoring him.

"What are you planning to do about Shang Kaiwen? Why don’t you clue me in and let me mentally prepare?" An Zhiyuan teased her into speaking. His wife was not thick-skinned and couldn’t resist his teasing.

Bai Xiao was not the type to really get angry with him.

Sure enough, this topic was hard for Bai Xiao to evade.

"Shang Kaiwen is in Modu!"

Her words were shocking.

An Zhiyuan was surprised, "What’s Shang Kaiwen doing in Modu? Could it be she wants to see the Yu Family fall?" That’s too naive.

"Of course not! Shang Kaiwen wouldn’t get up early if there wasn’t something in it for her. She’s following a foreign-born Chinese, Bai Jingshan. You’ve probably heard of him, right? One of the top thirty richest people in Asia. Such a net worth is enough to make Shang Kaiwen go wild. This time, she’s probably made up her mind, and of course, I’m not going to let her plan succeed. That would be letting myself down."

Bai Xiao had thought it through. Whatever Shang Kaiwen wanted, she would make sure Shang Kaiwen’s efforts ended in vain.

Since Shang Kaiwen valued Bai Jingshan so much, Bai Xiao certainly wouldn’t let her succeed.

"Bai Jingshan? Also with the surname Bai, could he possibly be connected to your family?"

That was indeed the first thought.

Bai Xiao shook her head, "I’m not aware of any such relatives in the Bai Family. If there were, wouldn’t the old lady and Bai Jianguo have flaunted it long ago? It doesn’t seem related at all to me. Besides, there are so many people with the surname ’Bai’. They can’t all be from one family."

In her past life, she hadn’t heard of Bai Jingshan, so it’s highly likely he’s not connected to the Bai Family.

"So what are you planning to do? I can help you." An Zhiyuan was uneasy about letting Bai Xiao face Shang Kaiwen alone. Though Shang Kaiwen didn’t seem harmful, her entourage was bound to clear the path for her, and he couldn’t allow his wife to get hurt.

"No need for now. Just help me get my uncle out, and that would be a great help. I haven’t figured out the rest yet. Once this matter is over, we can strategize."

An Zhiyuan was about to head to work, and she didn’t want to delay his duties.

An Zhiyuan was very busy.

He couldn’t possibly neglect his work because of her family issues.

Besides, upon seeing the big picture, she knew An Zhiyuan still utilized some of his resources! Whether it was personal favors or leveraging his superior’s power, once discovered, it would be disadvantageous for An Zhiyuan. She didn’t need An Zhiyuan to get involved in this messy affair.

There were plenty who could do such things. If she asked, Jiang Shaoqing definitely had the contacts and the funds.

She didn’t know that An Zhiyuan was doing this precisely because he didn’t want anyone else to interfere.

"Whatever happens, don’t keep it from me!" An Zhiyuan watched Bai Xiao with unease.

This girl certainly wasn’t someone without ideas.

"Got it! An Zhiyuan, you’re too naggy."

She smiled, teasing An Zhiyuan.

He gave her a firm tap on the forehead.

"How dare you dislike your man, you need a good talking-to."

Bai Xiao mumbled, "Domestic violence, this is outright domestic violence!"

The remaining matters indeed developed beyond everyone’s expectations.

The following morning, Jian Nan went to the nearest station to surrender.

After enduring pain until midnight, Jian Nan knew that he was bleeding from his nose and eyes, as the woman had warned that if one bled from all seven orifices, there was no saving them. He certainly didn’t want to die.

At this point, Wang Ruo’an’s influence was no longer enough to keep Jian Nan quiet.

Thus, the Prosecutor’s Office received the latest evidence, and Jian Nan recanted, confessing everything in detail.

By the third day, even the whistleblowing Dean recanted.

He claimed that his son was kidnapped and that he was coerced into doing something against his conscience under threat. They said if he didn’t follow their orders, his son would die. For his son’s sake, he did what he shouldn’t have.

On the third morning, his son appeared in front of his house, leaving him a message to report honestly to the police, or else bear the consequences. Upon hearing of Jian Nan’s recantation, the Dean figured that if he didn’t come clean, who knew what aftermath there might be.

The case of Yu Shaoyan at the Prosecutor’s Office took a significant turn.
