Duan Ze turned the car around at a suitable location and returned to his residential area.
However, Duan Ze did not go home immediately, but went to Nan Xing's house instead.
Nan Hao went to work, and only Nan Xing's mother, Xie Congjing, was at home.
As soon as she saw Duan Ze, she breathed a sigh of relief and beckoned him to come in: "Xiao Ze, come in quickly. Nan Xing just called home. She'll be back soon. Wait for her."
Duan Ze nodded and smiled politely, "Thank you very much, Auntie."
Xie Congjing: "No need for thanks. You're willing to help your sister Nanxing, so I should be thanking you. Please sit down, I'll pour you a cup of tea."
So Duan Ze could only sit in the living room and wait for Nan Xing.
Xie Congjing quickly came over and placed a cup of hot tea in front of him.
"Xiaoze, Auntie wants to ask you, is Nanxing's trending topic serious? Will it affect Duan Ye and Qing Yuan's relationship? This matter... it's really worrying..."
Duan Ze: "Auntie, don't worry, it won't happen. The photos are fake, they're photoshopped. Qingyuan and Xiaoye both know that, so it won't affect them."
Xie Congjing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
“Nanxing’s sister called me early this morning to ask if Nanxing was alright. As mothers, we are always worried. It’s good that she’s alright, and her sister and I can rest assured.”
Just as Xie Congjing and Duan Ze were talking, the door opened and Nan Xing rushed in.
"Mom, Brother Duan."
Xie Congjing: "Hurry up, let's go to the study to talk. Mom will make you something to eat. You haven't eaten on the way here, have you?"
Nanxing took off her mask, went up to her mother and kissed her: "Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Duan Ze had already entered the study first.
The two families have been friends since they were children, and they are still very familiar with the layout of their homes even as adults.
Nanxing followed him inside and closed the door.
Without wasting any words, Nanxing sat down directly at the desk facing Duan Ze.
Nanxing took out her phone and showed Duan Ze a less revealing photo.
When Duan Ze looked at the photo, he saw that it was a picture of Nan Xing holding Duan Ye under a white blanket, with their faces and shoulders showing.
Duan Ze took the phone, examined it carefully for a while, and then said, "It's fake, a composite photo. When did you receive it? Is this all?"
When Duan Ze first saw the photo, his heart skipped a beat, but he quickly regained his composure.
Neither Duan Ye nor Nan Xing would do such a thing.
Upon hearing this, Nanxing's eyes were already a little red.
"Brother Duan, to be honest, this is the least conservative one. There are many more that are even more outrageous. The scenes are all in hotels, and the people are me and Duan Ye."
"I can't even imagine what would happen if these photos were leaked..."
"There's also a recording."
This was received on the way from Nanxing; it's a call that was specially imitated Nanxing's original voice.
Duan Ze didn't hear the whole story, but he knew that the situation was really serious.
Finally, Nanxing produced the invitation.
Duan Ze took a look and saw that the address and time were exactly the same as the hotel they were going to the next night, except that there was no name on it.
He initially thought this was aimed at Luo Qingyuan, but now he understands and sees the situation clearly.
This wave is aimed at Duan Ye; it's about the Duan family.
Nanxing suffered an undeserved misfortune simply because she was Duan Ye's childhood sweetheart.
Duan Ze: "We've dragged you into this. Don't worry, Xiao Ye and I will handle this and won't let the photo leak out."
Duan Ze: "But this matter of yours needs to be investigated by professionals. If I call your brother Yang Fan over now, would you mind?"
Even if Duan Ze is powerful, he still needs authority.
Nanxing certainly knew this principle.
Yang Fan had eaten at their home a few times, so Nanxing naturally recognized him.
So Nanxing nodded: "But Brother Duan, I don't want too many people to know about this, including my mother..."
After all, Xie Congjing still thinks that she sought out Duan Ze for the sake of trending on social media.
Duan Ze: "Of course, these photos are all fake. Don't worry, it's nothing."
It's just finding a body and changing faces; Duan Ze can do that too, even do it so miraculously that people can't tell the difference between the real and the fake.
At this point, it's more important to cut off the source than to investigate the truth.
Nanxing nodded, her eyes red.
Duan Ze turned around and called Yang Fan.
Yang Fan: "Wait here, I'm coming right now."
After hanging up the phone, Duan Ze said, "We'll take this invitation for now. Just go back and continue filming your movie. Don't worry about anything else, and don't go to the appointment, understand?"
Nanxing felt half relieved: "Okay."
Nanxing and Duan Ze's brief exchange came to an end.
Just as Nanxing was about to leave, Duan Ze suddenly remembered something and asked, "The picture trending on social media isn't fake. Are you and Xiaoye... alright?"
Logically speaking, Duan Ze shouldn't be involved in this matter, but he is, after all, Nan Xing's half-brother and Duan Ye's biological brother, so it seems reasonable for him to ask.
Besides, hasn't Nanxing always disliked Duan Ye?
When he found out Nanxing didn't like Duan Ye, he even hit Duan Ye. At that time, Duan Ye was in high school, and he told Duan Ye not to harass the little girl...
Nanxing's back stiffened slightly, then she turned to look at Duan Ze and smiled, readily admitting it.
"Big brother, I like Aye."
Duan Ze opened his mouth again and again, somewhat taken aback, wanting to say something, but seemingly unsure what to say.
Nanxing smiled brightly, but Duan Ze looked very sad.
