Inside the study.
Cui Nan didn't invite Xia Wan to sit down, but asked directly, "Tell me, what exactly is your purpose in coming to our house?"
Xia Wan followed Cui Nan into the study and began to examine the layout of the entire room.
She didn't act like an outsider at all. With her hands behind her back, she walked over to the vase and fiddled with the beautiful clivia, then walked over to the rows of bookshelves and looked at the various classic books from home and abroad inside.
The world of novels also has its Four Great Classical Novels.
Xia Wan casually picked up a copy of Journey to the West and flipped through it, answering Cui Nan's questions as she read.
“I’m here to see Cui Ziqi. He hasn’t been home for a week. I’m curious to know what’s so attractive about the Cui family that keeps him away from home for so long.”
Cui Nan frowned as she watched Xia Wan, who seemed like someone who had never seen the world, looking around and touching everything.
Seeing Xia Wan put down the Journey to the West book in her hand, walk to the side of the collection, and try to open the door to take out the bronze lion displayed inside.
She finally couldn't help but speak up.
"This bronze lion is worth millions. If you dare touch it, I'll make you pay the full price!"
Xia Wan's claws stopped in mid-air.
Ten million?
All her assets consisted of Cui Ziqi's card, and she didn't even know if there were ten million in it.
She turned her head and rolled her eyes at Cui Nan.
"You stingy person."
Cui Nan was furious with Xia Wan.
Is she stingy?
Who has any manners who would act as if they were in their own home when entering someone else's?
If she hadn't stopped her, Xia Wan might have taken the bronze lion and taken it away because she liked it!
Xia Wan lazily shifted her gaze to Cui Jiyang's desk, but looked at it for only two seconds before looking away.
Where is Cui Jiyang?
Cui Nan retorted irritably, "What business is it of yours where my brother is?"
"How can it not concern me? He detained Cui Ziqi at the Cui family's house. I haven't seen Cui Ziqi in ages. They say that ruining someone's marriage will bring retribution. You have to compensate me."
Xia Wan turned around and took out the bronze lion with lightning speed.
She tossed the bronze lion in her hand, satisfied.
“I think this bronze lion is quite nice; consider it your compensation.”
"Xia Wan! Have you no shame?"
"What? The Cui family is so wealthy, yet you can't even part with a bronze lion as a gift for your future niece-in-law?"
Cui Nan glared at Xia Wan with a stern face.
In all her life, she had never seen anyone more shameless than Xia Wan!
Xia Wan then noticed the medicine box under the cabinet.
She thought for a moment, opened the cabinet, took out the medicine box, and began to rummage through it.
Cui Nan suppressed her anger and looked away from Xia Wan's thuggish behavior.
Regarding the Southern Pharmaceutical Factory incident, Cui Ziqi secretly compiled a complete chain of evidence proving that the families of those who died from the drug had been intimidated by people sent by the pharmaceutical factory.
Furthermore, an illegal boxing gym located very close to the pharmaceutical factory was exposed. The gym owner produced a contract signed with Cui Jiyang, proving that Cui Jiyang had cooperated with them and that they had hired people to intimidate Cui Jiyang.
The pharmaceutical factory issue had already been circulating online before.
Now that the issue has been brought up again, many onlookers are speaking out for the victims.
The stock price of the Cui Group continued to fall, and Cui Jiyang was repeatedly summoned to the police station for questioning.
Cui Ziqi did all of this.
The real reason that led Cui Ziqi to do all this was Xia Wan!
Cui Nan watched as Xia Wan took out disinfectant and ointment from the medicine box and started talking to herself.
"Since you're unwilling to tell me the reason, then take me to see Cui Ziqi."
The study is well soundproofed and has handy tools.
Cui Nan originally intended to kill Xia Wan right here.
But if Cui Ziqi finds out, it will inevitably lead to another major family battle.
She decided to try a different approach.
"Let's go."
She led the way, guiding Xia Wan step by step towards the back of the mountain.
at the same time.
Cui Ziqi was returning to her room in the Cui family manor—a small bungalow two hundred meters from the main manor building.
The small bungalows are similar to those on the back hill, about twenty square meters.
Damp and rudimentary.
Cui Ziqi wiped her face, changed into clean clothes, and went to find Xia Wan.
But the rattling sound of chains came from outside the door.
Cui Ziqi immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed to the door to turn the doorknob.
Unfortunately, the door seemed to be blocked from the outside, and it couldn't be opened no matter what.
Cui Ying's laughter rang out from outside.
"Hahaha, Cui Ziqi, you'll be a dog in your cage today!"
After saying that, Cui Ying ordered her men, "Block the windows too! Don't let the mad dog inside get out!"
Cui Ziqi didn't have time.
An iron frame appeared outside the window, like an iron cage hanging down from above, trapping the entire bungalow inside.
"Cui! Ying!"
Cui Ziqi had a gut feeling that Xia Wan would be in trouble.
Otherwise, Cui Ying wouldn't have suddenly locked him up; her purpose was most likely to prevent him from going out to find Xia Wan.
Where is Xia Wan?
Cui Ying gave a mocking laugh, "Xia Wan? You can go find her yourself in the wolf's belly in the back mountain tonight!"
Cui Ying left after saying those words.
Cui Ziqi slammed his fist against the wall, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.
...
Xia Wan followed Cui Nan's footsteps and walked towards the back mountain.
The air was filled with the stench of blood all the way.
They walked until they reached a small house in the mountains, where the corpses of jackals were scattered all around, bloody and terrifying.
"This is Cui Ziqi's room."
The room door was half open.
Xia Wan glanced at Cui Nan and scoffed.
"I saw how much you cared about Cui Ziqi before, giving him money and calling to check on him. I didn't expect it was all just for show. If you really cared about your family, wouldn't the huge Cui family home have room for him?"
She retorted to Cui Nan, and seeing Cui Nan's face turn pale and then green, she turned and walked towards the bungalow.
