I never imagined that Xie Jiaming was the mastermind behind Ye Yun's abduction.

Liu Xiaoyun was stunned.

She stared into Xie Jiaming's eyes in disbelief, forgetting to breathe, as if her soul had been ripped out.

How could this be? How could this be...

Her brother Ming was such a good person, gentle and kind, how could he do such an outrageous thing?

"No way, you're lying to me..."

She shook her head and, without thinking, slumped down onto the lawn.

Looking into Xie Jiaming's eyes, she shook her head repeatedly, muttering "impossible," her eyes filled with resistance, silently expressing her truest reaction.

Xie Jiaming looked at the patrol captain.

"Please take her away."

As soon as the patrol captain raised his hand, two or three of his subordinates stepped forward and pulled Liu Xiaoyun, who had already lost the ability to resist, away.

In the last moment before disappearing from everyone's sight, Liu Xiaoyun seemed to regain her senses.

"No! You didn't do that! You didn't!"

It's unclear who she was addressing with that heart-wrenching wail, but in the final moment before being shoved into the car, she seemed to turn and glance at Xie Jiaming.

She was telling him not to admit it.

But what can he do if he doesn't admit it?

Xie Jiaming gave a bitter smile, his vision blurred as he watched the car door slowly close.

"alright."

He took a deep breath, looked at Ye Yun, and gave her a relieved smile.

"I admit, that man was me."

“I took the initiative to find your sister Ye Xue, told her that I had a grudge against Qin Zheng, and gave her advice on how to find someone to kidnap you. I plead guilty.”

After saying that, he extended his hands.

Seeing that the police captain didn't move, he even moved his hands closer to the handcuffs on the captain's waist and said half-jokingly, "Captain, arrest me."

team leader:"……"

Living father.

The captain dared not act rashly, after all, taking action against scions of powerful families like Xun Xiangbin and Xie Jiaming would mean taking action against the honor of an entire family.

Tang Shu put pressure on him.

"Captain, what are you hesitating about?"

team leader:"……"

Another living father.

"Oh……"

Xie Jiaming suddenly laughed.

"I understand. Captain, you're afraid this matter won't be easy to handle, right?" He shook his head, a streak of bright red blood still clinging to his refined cheek, making his smile seem somewhat eerie. "Don't worry, as long as you promise me one thing, I'm willing to go to jail and pay the price. The Xie family won't retaliate against you because of this."

"oh?"

Tang Shu sneered.

She didn't believe such a treacherous and cunning man.

Xie Jiaming didn't argue much, and looked at Ye Yun: "Ye Yun, I'm not one to do things without a reason. If you promise me that you will never expose Xiaoyun's affairs, I will willingly admit my guilt, and I will also admit to the share of guilt that Xiaoyun should suffer, so that you can get revenge."

"As for your losses over the years, I will make up for what you've lost elsewhere. I will never let you suffer any loss. How about it?"

Didn't Ye Yun want to seek justice?

Justice is impossible.

He gave me everything except justice!

Xie Jiaming sat on the ground with a smile on his lips, his eyes showing a resolute and relieved look as if he were facing death.

Ye Yun gazed at him quietly.

In his eyes, all she saw was Liu Xiaoyun, and every word he spoke was for Liu Xiaoyun's sake.

Are you sure?

She opened her mouth, her voice clear and certain: "For her sake, you'll be in prison for five to ten years. Plus, Liu Xiaoyun will have to suffer at least ten years. Most importantly, once you go there, everything will be ruined. Your future, your dreams, and even your parents might abandon you. Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

Without much hesitation, Xie Jiaming gave his answer firmly.

Ye Yun fell silent.

Tang Shu chuckled: "You really are as infatuated as ever."

She is my fiancée.

Xie Jiaming continued.

Tang Shu was speechless.

"Okay, I promise you."

Ye Yun exchanged a few words with the patrol captain, who nodded and waved for two men to go and arrest Xie Jiaming.

The cold, silver handcuffs locked Xie Jiaming's wrists. Two police officers tried to drag Xie Jiaming up from the ground, but Xie Jiaming said he could manage.

He stood up and wiped the shards of glass off his body with his clasped hands.

Although his hands were cuffed, his spine remained straight, and he still seemed to be the elegant gentleman he always was.

All of this ended up in the car parked on the side of the road.

He would never let Liu Xiaoyun see him in such a disheveled state; he wanted to always appear polished and leave a good impression on her.

That way, when she thinks of him in the future, she will always remember him as that refined and gentlemanly older brother.

"Mr. Qin, they don't have a vehicle prepared for transporting prisoners. Could you perhaps ask them to borrow your car for a ride?"

Xie Jiaming took the initiative to speak.

Even when he was in prison, he treated himself with the highest respect.

Upon hearing this, the patrol captain also looked at Qin Zheng.

They could have used Xie Jiaming's car to take him back to the police station, but Liu Xiaoyun was on the other end.

Judging from Xie Jiaming's demeanor, it's clear he doesn't want Liu Xiaoyun involved in the process.

Qin Zheng tossed the keys to the patrol captain.

The patrol captain took it immediately.

"Let's go, Xie Jiaming."

At this moment, the patrol captain could no longer call out "Young Master Xie".

Xie Jiaming gave a bitter laugh.

"Help me take her home."

Ignoring the complicated gazes of the crowd, he took a deep breath, stood tall and proud, and walked towards the car by the roadside under the escort of two police officers. His back was tall and upright.
