Duan Ye smiled faintly. What should he do if he... likes Luo Qingyuan even more now?

But now is the time to get down to business.

When Duan Ye arrived, several cars were already parked in front of the Jiang family's house.

The man in the lead saw Duan Ye and walked straight over.

Luo Qingyuan: "Are they all acquaintances?"

Duan Ye nodded: "Yes, we're all friends, let's get out of the car."

Luo Qingyuan got out of the car with Duan Ye, who then led her briskly toward Zhu Xin.

"Brother Xin, thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Xin laughed heartily: "It's no big deal. All the brothers are here, so it's up to you how you want to arrange things. But now that this is over, you have to give me face and go for a drink, right?"

Duan Ye laughed and said, "That's what I should say. Once this is over, I'll treat you, brother!"

Zhu Xin: "Okay! I'll do whatever you say!"

After the two finished speaking, Zhu Xin finally turned his gaze to Luo Qingyuan, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes: "This must be your sister-in-law, seeing is believing! She is indeed beautiful!"

Luo Qingyuan politely said, "Thank you, Brother Xin."

Zhu Xin: "Haha, you're welcome, you're welcome. After this is over, your wife can come too!"

Luo Qingyuan glanced at Duan Ye subconsciously, and only after Duan Ye nodded did she smile and agree, "I'll definitely go when I have time."

Zhu Xin: "Okay, then it's settled!"

And so, Zhu Xin, along with his five brothers, gave a brief greeting to Duan Ye and his wife, and then everyone entered the Jiang family home together.

In the past, even when the Jiang family was in dire straits, they always had security guards. But today, they entered without any hindrance, even walking straight into the Jiang family's gate. It wasn't until they stood still in the living room that the nanny noticed them.

The nanny was startled when she saw these tall, burly men: "Who are you? How dare you enter someone else's house like this?"

Duan Ye calmly looked at the nanny and asked, "Where is Jiang Jingchuan?"

The nanny didn't want to answer, but seeing the menacing looks of the people behind the man, she pointed upwards and said, "The...the rooftop..."

So Duan Ye stopped looking at her and directly led Luo Qingyuan and Zhu Xin towards the rooftop. The rest of the people automatically dispersed, as they needed to take this opportunity to search all the places where the Jiang family could hide people.

The nanny was a little scared when she saw them starting to rummage through drawers and cabinets. She instinctively wanted to take out her phone to make a call, but one of them snatched it away as soon as she took it out.

"I advise you to behave yourself..."

The nanny nodded nervously, no longer daring to cause any more trouble.

The rooftop is on the fifth floor.

The higher you go, the more you can hear the singing and noise from above.

Duan Ye and Zhu Xin exchanged a glance. They hadn't expected it to be so lively. Was this a party being held at home?

As it turned out, they were right. When the three of them went upstairs, they saw a group of rich kids having a barbecue and dancing on the rooftop, each of them accompanied by beautiful women.

Jiang Jingchuan's expression changed upon seeing the two familiar people.

Someone asked, "Young Master Jiang, who are these three people? They're not from our circle, are they? I've never heard you mention them before..."

Ignoring what the people around him were saying, Duan Ye walked straight towards Jiang Jingchuan and asked, "Where is Nanxing?"

Jiang Jingchuan was still grilling meat when he heard this and was taken aback: "Who are you talking about?"

Luo Qingyuan repeated good-naturedly, "Nanxing."

While grilling mutton, Jiang Jingchuan's good friend Ji Yunde said with a smile, "Nanxing is a big star in the entertainment industry. Why would you come to the Jiang family instead of the film crew or the Nan family to look for Nanxing?"

"You mean it, Miss Luo?"

The Ji family is quite well-known in Kyoto. They were also present at the banquet organized by the Jiang family last time, which is why they know Duan Ye and Luo Qingyuan.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Luo Qingyuan, and they couldn't help but gasp.

"This is Miss Luo, the daughter of the richest family in Kyoto?"

"Isn't she... Jingchuan's ex-fiancée?"

Everyone was whispering.

Duan Ye stepped forward, blocking Ji Yunde's view: "I'm here today to ask about Jiang Jingchuan, not to chat with you. Who my wife is is none of your business."

Ji Yunde smiled faintly: "Mr. Duan is certainly protective of his own; no wonder he can win over the heart of the dignified eldest daughter of the Luo family..."

Jiang Jingchuan gave Ji Yunde an approving look; those words were absolutely delightful!

Zhu Xin: "There's no other way. She's my own wife, how can I not protect her? If everyone were as cowardly as Second Young Master Jiang, the engagement would be called off."

Zhu Xin's words caused an inexplicable silence among those present.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Duan Ye: "I don't have time to play riddles with you, Jiang Jingchuan, I'll ask you one more time, where is Nanxing?!"

Jiang Jingchuan thought Duan Ye was crazy.

"Are you out of your mind?! I'm at the Jiang family's house every day, how would I know where Nanxing is? If someone goes missing, you should go to the police station, why are you acting crazy here?"

Duan Ye suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the man from his seat: "After your brother left, Nanxing disappeared. Do you dare to say that this has nothing to do with your Jiang family?"

Everyone was startled by Duan Ye's action. Jiang Jingchuan was both ashamed and angry, his face turning red. He tried to break free, but he couldn't pry Duan Ye's hand off.

Ji Yunde wanted to step forward to help, but Zhu Xin stopped him.

Seeing the tense situation, the people around fell silent and all eyes were fixed on this side.

Jiang Jingchuan felt wronged: "Duan Ye, I'll say it again, I don't know where Nanxing is. You can ask me a hundred times and I'll give you the same answer."

Zhu Xin and Duan Ye exchanged a glance, and after a short while, Zhu Xin shook his head at Duan Ye.

Duan Ye then released Jiang Jingchuan.

“Jiang Jingchuan, let me make this clear: if Nanxing’s disappearance has even the slightest connection to your Jiang family, I will not let you off the hook.”

After saying that, Duan Ye prepared to leave with Luo Qingyuan and Zhu Xin.

To their surprise, they had only taken a couple of steps when they were surrounded by a group of bodyguards who rushed up from downstairs.

Luo Qingyuan subconsciously grabbed Duan Ye's sleeve.

Duan Ye also shielded Luo Qingyuan behind him.

Jiang Jingchuan's smug voice rang out from behind: "I don't know about that Nanxing guy, but you guys showed up uninvited today, ruined my mood, and even threatened me on my turf? Duan Ye, you stole my fiancée and have offended me time and time again. Do you really think I, Jiang Jingchuan, am someone to be trifled with?!"

Zhu Xin, Duan Ye, and Luo Qingyuan all turned around to look at Jiang Jingchuan, who was walking towards them step by step.

At Jiang Jingchuan's signal, the people around him began to slowly leave.

Until only the bodyguards, Duan Ye and his two companions, Jiang Jingchuan and Ji Yunde remained on the rooftop.

Jiang Jingchuan: "Since you've come to me willingly, then you can't blame me."

After saying that, Jiang Jingchuan gave a cool smile, and the bodyguards swarmed forward.

Luo Qingyuan was pushed out by Duan Ye, and Zhu Xin and Duan Ye quickly started fighting with the bodyguards.

Luo Qingyuan found a safe place to stand, close to the stairwell, so she could run downstairs if anything seemed amiss, since there were still people downstairs.
