Chapter 116 You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

If they really wronged Yu Yan...

Xiang Jingheng suddenly recalled Yu Yan sitting on the deck, soaking wet and pale. Even when she was extremely aggrieved, she would not cry like other women; she would only act more coldly.

She was like a lioness driven to the brink of despair, facing the counterattack of the male lion and the cubs. At first, she was stunned and completely incredulous.

When there is no way to retreat, one should accept one's fate and then prove oneself.

At the police station, she said that when he accused her of killing her son, wasn't she heartbroken?

With Mrs. Xiang still cursing in his ears, Xiang Jingheng strode out. Mrs. Xiang called out, "Where are you going this late at night?"

Xiang Jingheng didn't even have time to change his clothes before he went to the police station again that night.

He was determined to find out the truth.

Who pushed Xiang Chu? Who orchestrated all of this, deliberately sowing discord between him and his son and Yu Yan?

If it really is his fault, then he will definitely admit it!

When they arrived at the police station, Xiang Jingheng saw the person who had been pulled ashore; there was another person in the water who had escaped.

He has already confessed to his gang, and the police are now making every effort to apprehend them.

When the person was taken to the police station, he had already been beaten badly. After the beating, the police kindly treated his injuries. He was bandaged up all over, looking like a mummy, and it was a terrible sight.

Xiang Jingheng knew that Shao Muyan had made the move, and he thought Shao Muyan did a good job this time. He said that if it were him, he would have done the same!

The thought of Yu Yan's ankle and calf injuries, and how she was tossed around in the sea and nearly drowned, made Xiang Jingheng want to tear her to pieces!

The person had been thoroughly subdued and confessed everything as soon as they arrived at the police station.

"It is now certain that this was a team crime. Someone deliberately planned it, using the child as bait to lure Yu Yan and Mei Nan into the water to save the child, and then tampered with the water to make them suffer."

Listening to the police officer's statement, Xiang Jingheng frowned, "But how could that person be so sure that Yu Yan and Mei Nan would definitely jump into the water?"

The police officer glanced at Xiang Jingheng and said, "Yu Yan is the child's biological mother. She can swim and is not afraid of water. When the child fell into the water, she would instinctively jump in to save him."

Xiang Jingheng recalled that when he saw Yu Yan struggling in the sea, his first reaction was to jump in and save her.

However, Shao Muyan beat him to it, and he was unable to get to Yu Yan immediately. Instead, he rescued Mei Nan.

"What about Mei Nan?"

Xiang Jingheng still had doubts. "If Yu Yan is a big shot and someone wants to trip her up, that's normal. But Mei Nan has always been cautious and never makes enemies. Why would they drag her into this?"

Upon hearing this, the police officer retorted, "Overly cautious? You mean Mei Nan?"

Xiang Jingheng nodded.

The two police officers taking Mei Nan's statement exchanged glances. They didn't think he was cautious; they thought he was extremely cunning.

After taking Mei Nan's statement, they realized that the case was not so simple.

Mei Nan seemed to have told them everything and provided them with a lot of information, but they always felt that there was something she hadn't told them.

It seems she knows who the real culprit is.

"The information these bandits received was about Xiang Chu, Yu Yan, and Mei Nan. None of the three could be let go. The child was the bait, but Yu Yan and Mei Nan were both her targets, which means that Yu Yan and Mei Nan had offended her."

The police analyzed Xiang Jingheng's case: "She had people on the boat and in the water. Her logical thinking was meticulous, with each step linked to the next. This shows that she is a shrewd person and a repeat offender. She must also know Xiang Chu, Yu Yan and Mei Nan very well."

“Even if Yu Yan and Mei Nan didn’t jump into the water as she planned, she would still assault them on the boat. In other words, Yu Yan and Mei Nan were her prey tonight, and she has successfully achieved her goal.”

Xiang Jingheng's body grew increasingly stiff as he listened, and a tingling sensation ran deep in his heart.

After the police finished their analysis, the portrait of the people in Xiang Jingheng's mind became clearer and clearer... a woman who could know Xiang Chu, Yu Yan and Mei Nan at the same time, and understand them in depth, and who happened to be someone whom Yu Yan and Mei Nan had both offended.

He couldn't think of anyone else besides Gan Xiaoxing.

Gan, Xiao, Xing.

—

"You did it, didn't you?"

Mei Nan called Gan Xiaoxing several times before Gan Xiaoxing finally answered.

Faced with Mei Nan's barrage of questions, Gan Xiaoxing lazily replied, "What's wrong with you in the middle of the night?"

"Am I going crazy, or are you going crazy?"

Mei Nan sat on her large bed at home, the lights off, the only sound in the dim light being her cold, chilling voice, "Xiang Chu is your godson, and you actually had him pushed into the water. Gan Xiaoxing, you are utterly heartless!"

"I don't understand what you're saying."

Gan Xiaoxing hung up on her immediately.

Mei Nan, wrapped in a blanket, was trembling with anger.

As she trembled, she calmed down, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

Gan Xiaoxing had bullied her for so many years, and she originally still cherished their past relationship and wanted to save her some dignity.

Since she's so ungrateful, then don't blame her for being ruthless.

Gan Xiaoxing snorted coldly, threw the phone aside after hanging up, and lit a cigarette.

She was still in the hospital ward, lying on the bed, her ankle wrapped in thick bandages. Because of her unauthorized actions, her already injured foot had become more serious, and it was wrapped up like a rugby ball.

Who gave this the credit?!

Gan Xiaoxing had been living a glorious life for over twenty years, growing up surrounded by admirers. Even Yu Yan had once been her defeated opponent. Yet, in the end, she was humiliated by a mere maid!

Gan Xiaoxing could never forget the humiliation she suffered in Xiang Jingheng's office. She vowed that she would not be a man if she did not avenge this!

Tonight was just a small lesson; she didn't intend to kill them yet.

As for Xiang Chu...

She really couldn't bear to do that to a child, after all, it was a child she had raised for three years.

But you raise an army for a thousand days to use it for one day. You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. If she doesn't use Xiang Chu as bait, is she going to throw Xiang Jingheng into the water?

Sacrificing a small fish like Xiang Chu resulted in catching two big fish at once—a very worthwhile deal.

Gan Xiaoxing didn't expect that Mei Nan would jump down with Yu Yan. It seems that she really wanted to make a good impression on Xiang Jingheng so that she could take the opportunity to rise in rank.

Ha, just a maid born to a nanny. In ancient times, she would be a concubine, a worthless thing. She dares to dream of climbing over the head of the main wife!

Gan Xiaoxing was smoking fiercely when his phone rang.

It was that group of people who asked her for five million after the deal was done.

Gan Xiaoxing's brow twitched: [Five million? Wasn't it agreed that it would be three million?]

We lost one of our men. If he betrays us all, we'll all have to run. Hurry, transfer five million. It's the rule of the trade; you know the consequences if you breach the contract.

Gan Xiaoxing's face turned pale instantly. Someone went in?
