Chapter 185 My Fiancé
The driver remained silent.
That's exactly what he thought.
Two million yuan and a few years in jail is a good deal for him, after all, it's a huge sum of money he could never accumulate in his entire life.
With this money, he could build a house for his elderly parents, and after he got out of prison, he could start a business, buy a house, and get married. He wouldn't be rich and famous in his later years, but at least he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing.
It's much better than working yourself to the bone for a pittance and having to put up with your boss's bad temper.
Huo Huai'an didn't give the driver a chance to dream, and continued with a cold laugh: "The person behind you doesn't value human life, so naturally he won't value yours either. If you want to go to jail, you'd better think about whether you even have the chance to get in!"
The driver turned pale. "W-what do you mean?"
“What I mean is,” Huo Huai’an raised the corners of his lips, leaned close to his ear and whispered, “you are very likely not going to live to see the day you are arrested and imprisoned.”
The driver's face drained of all color in an instant. "No, impossible! This is a society governed by the rule of law..."
Huo Huai'an was almost amused by this idiot. "You know this is a society governed by law, so how dare you take money and risk your life?"
"I..." the driver opened his mouth.
Huo Huai'an said coldly, "Confess honestly, and I'll guarantee you'll go to prison alive."

Tang Ya left the company before it was time to leave work.
She got into the car, took out her phone, and dialed a number.
After a few rings, the call was connected, and a clear, pleasant male voice came through.
Hello—
Upon hearing the voice, Tang Ya's expression softened. "Chao Yin, it's me."
The other end of the phone went quiet.
Tang Ya sensed that the other party was about to hang up, and quickly said, "I have something to tell you, about Yun Si. Don't you want to know why she left without saying goodbye back then?"
Xie Chaoyin was silent for a moment, then said.
Tang Ya said softly and cautiously, "It's hard to explain over the phone, let's talk about it face to face, okay?"
Xie Chaoyin didn't waste any words with her, "Come to Chaoxing in half an hour."
After saying that, Xie Chaoyin hung up the phone.
Tang Ya breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that you're willing to see her.
Tang Ya started the car in a good mood.
Fearing that she might upset Xie Chaoyin, she arrived at Chaoxing half an hour later.
Several buildings in Chaoxing were equipped with intelligent detection systems. Xie Chao had given Tang Ya a temporary pass in advance through the system, and Tang Ya was able to go up without any obstacles.
Xie Chaoyin chose a conference room as the meeting place.
The conference room has walls on all four sides. Although people outside cannot hear what is going on inside, they can see everything that is happening inside.
If Tang Ya dares to do anything improper, she will be exposed to surveillance equipment and company staff.
The detection system outside the conference room door performed facial recognition on Tang Ya before opening the door and letting her in.
Almost as soon as Tang Ya stepped into the conference room, the glass door behind her closed by itself.
Xie Chaoyin stared at the laptop in front of her, her hands flying across the keyboard. Without looking up, she said emotionlessly, "You only have half an hour."
Tang Ya walked over and sat down next to Xie Chaoyin, gazing at him with adoration.
She had liked this man since she was a teenager, and for nearly twenty or thirty years, his gaze had never lingered on her.
Even if she tries her best to please him and his family, he won't even glance at her.
She really couldn't understand what she lacked compared to that timid and cowardly old woman, Lu Yunsi.
Xie Chaoyin calmly reminded him, "Five minutes have already passed."
Tang Ya came to her senses, took a deep breath, and said with a wry smile, "Back then, when I went to that small town, I found you and her together, so I went to find her in secret."
Xie Chaoyin paused in his typing.
Tang Ya gazed at the handsome face before her, just as it had been back then, and her thoughts drifted back to that day.
When she arrived in that small town and learned that Xie Chaoyin was with another woman, she was heartbroken and felt a surge of anger.
She forced a smile and asked Xie Chaoyin, "What do you like about her?"
Xie Chaoyin smiled and said, "I like them all."
Not only his face, but even his eyes and brows were full of smiles.
He had never smiled at her like that before.
This was the first time she had ever seen him smile like that, and it was for another woman.
Tang Ya's lips were filled with bitterness, and her heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife.
The man she had waited for so long suddenly became someone else's; how could she accept that?
She was very unwilling to accept it.
She wanted to see for herself what kind of woman had stolen him away.
Almost everyone in the small town knew about Xie Chaoyin's relationship with that woman. The reason was simple: both of them were from out of town and had very good looks that made them unforgettable at first glance.
While Xie Chaoyin was being called away by other young people in town, Tang Ya went to ask someone about Yun Si's whereabouts.
At first, the other party refused to speak because she was a stranger, so she lied and told them that she knew Yun Si, and also gave them some money. Finally, the other party revealed Yun Si's whereabouts.
She didn't spend long before she found Yun Si in a flower field.
That day, Yun Si wore a white dress, her long hair was loose, and her beautiful and serene face made all the surrounding flower fields pale in comparison.
Just as the townspeople said, she was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended from heaven.
At that moment, Lu Yunsi was sitting in front of a drawing board, painting. She held a paintbrush in her hand, frowning and deep in thought, as if she was thinking about something.
Tang Ya cautiously stepped forward and tentatively called out, "Yun Si?"
Yun Si seemed surprised to see a stranger there. She turned around abruptly, her face pale, and looked at her. "You...who are you?"
Looking at the frightened little face, Tang Ya recalled what the townspeople had told her about Yun Si's fear of strangers, and for some reason, a sense of malice rose in her heart.
She straightened her face and said coldly, "I am Chao Yin's fiancée."
Then, just as she had expected, Yun Si's face turned almost transparently white.
She was secretly pleased with herself and wove a lie that would make him crumble: "My family and his family are old friends. I have known Chaoyin since I was a child. We grew up together, went to school together, and were childhood sweethearts. His family all like me very much."
"Don't you believe me?" Tang Ya asked. "You can come with me to find Chao Yin and ask him."
Yun Si didn't say anything.
“Zhaoyin and I got engaged right after graduation and were planning to get married this year. But we had a big fight because we disagreed on the wedding arrangements, and that's why he ran away. I came here this time to take him home, but the townspeople told me…”
Tang Ya scrutinized Lu Yunsi with sharp eyes, her voice turning cold: "He's with another woman."
Yun Si stared blankly at her.
Tang Ya demanded sharply, "You're the woman who seduced my fiancé while I was away, aren't you?"
“I…” Yun Si opened her mouth, as if she wanted to refute.
"I heard that you two have been inseparable since you got together, going in and out of the same place every day. How far have things progressed? Have you slept together?"
"How was your sleep, my fiancé?"
"Everyone in town says you're as beautiful as a fairy. What, is a fairy so desperate for men that she has to seduce other people's fiancés?"
"Chao Yin comes from the Xie family in City A. The Xie family is a century-old family with a long history of scholarship. Do you think you are good enough for him?"
Faced with her questioning, Yun Si shook her head desperately, "I didn't, I didn't..."
Tang Ya wasn't going to let her off so easily. "I heard from Chao Yin that you lost your ID and wallet?"
Yun Si's tears fell.
Tang Ya gave a forced smile. "My family driver just happened to be driving by. Where do you live? Chao Yin and I will take you home."
"And tell your parents what 'good deeds' you've been up to outside!"
