Several security guards dragged him out, and he cried with snot and tears streaming down his face. It was shameless of him to beg for mercy when he was a grown man.

Nan's mother was furious: "You've done such a wrong thing, and you still expect me to let you off so easily? Assistant Le, whatever punishment you deserve, we'll take legal action!"

Tong Su recognized the man; it was Le Xiangbo, the most trusted subordinate and assistant of Nan's mother, and the person Nan's mother had previously sent to investigate her!

How did he end up here?

What happened?

"Madam, I was truly confused. Please don't call the police! If the case is accepted, I'll never be able to stay in the capital again—please, give me a way out—"

The butler stood respectfully behind Nan's mother, shaking his head repeatedly upon hearing the sound.

"Mr. Le, why are you making a scene here? As Madam's assistant, you have a large amount of income from unknown sources in your bank account, and many of Madam's private messages have been leaked. You say you didn't do it on purpose? Who would believe that?"

The commotion drew the attention of everyone in the Nan family villa. Not only was Tong Su looking curiously from the doorway, but many others were also peeking in.

Assistant Yue exclaimed in alarm, "I really didn't betray Madam's private information—"

"What happened to that million that mysteriously appeared in your bank account? It's fine if you don't tell me, but we're going to call the police to investigate anyway. By the time the police find out anything, it will be too late!"

Clang—

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and something fell down, startling everyone.

Nan's mother looked up and saw that what had fallen to the ground was a broken flowerpot, which had been accidentally dropped by someone.

She looked up again, just as a window was slammed shut with a loud bang.

Inside the window, someone was trembling with panic.

Nan's mother was taken aback.

That person is—

Nanweixia?

Assistant Yue followed Nan's mother's gaze and looked up. Upon seeing Nan Weixia's pale face through the window, he jumped up as if he had suddenly grasped a lifeline, shouting loudly:

"Spare me! It was the Second Miss who bribed me! She transferred the money to me; I didn't betray Madam's private affairs to anyone!"

When the housekeeper questioned her about the money of unknown origin, Nan Weixia was already terrified, extremely worried that Assistant Le would reveal the truth.

At this moment, when he shouted, she finally trembled in fright, her face turning ashen, and she instinctively cried out, "You're talking nonsense! Don't frame me!" She then looked pitifully at her mother, "Mom, don't believe him, I didn't..."

Nan's mother's face gradually turned ashen. She didn't even glance at Nan Weixia, but stared coldly at Assistant Le: "Explain yourself!"

Assistant Yue was already in dire straits herself, so she didn't care about Nan Weixia at all. She immediately said without hesitation, "The money in my bank card was transferred by the second young lady! She often asks me about what Madam has been doing lately, especially things related to the eldest young lady..."

Nan Weixia panicked and could only continue sobbing, "He's slandering me, Mom, don't you believe me?"

Nan's mother stared at Assistant Yue: "Continue!"

Assistant Yue swallowed hard and said, "When Madam asked me to investigate the young lady's donation to the orphanage, she asked me about the progress almost every day... She asked me about everything, including the young lady not donating and going to the bar. She was interested in anything that was bad for the young lady..."
