Of course, Shen Ru couldn't leave. She was now certain that this really was Jiang Yan's home. Qi Wei and the others must have made a mistake before. Qin Yiheng had also returned, so how could it be fake?
So she called Qiwei to explain the situation.
"You raised enough money so quickly?" Qiwei's tone was still somewhat incredulous.
"No, it's not about the money. It's about the address. I came to Jiang Yan's house today, and it's the same address as the one I gave you. Why did you say it was fake?"
Even though she knew Qiwei couldn't see it at all, Shen Ru still waved her hands frantically, trying her best to explain.
"What? You went to her house?" Qiwei's voice was even more surprised.
"Yes, they live here. You can come and see for yourself if you don't believe me."
Shen Ru seemed to think that if she could explain things clearly to Qi Wei, she could avoid paying the 30 million yuan in compensation, so she kept trying to explain to Qi Wei.
He recounted everything that happened today.
Of course, things like borrowing money from Jiang Yan or asking her to go to the Chu family would never be mentioned.
“You told me the address was fake, and I couldn’t verify it at first, so I didn’t know either. But now I’m at her house, and this is her house, it’s not fake,” Shen Ru repeatedly emphasized.
So much had happened today that Shen Ru's speech became increasingly incoherent, making her seem less credible to Qi Wei.
After she finished speaking, Qiwei remained silent for a long time.
"Hello? Hello! Qiwei, are you still listening? Can you talk to President Han and Young Master Han and tell them that this has nothing to do with me? The address I gave you is correct. Please don't come looking for me anymore, okay?"
Shen Ru called out anxiously, her voice filled with pleading, but also with a clear sense of dissatisfaction that "you're the ones who made the mistake, but you insist on blaming me."
She just didn't dare say it directly.
Qiwei understood; he knew Shen Ru's personality all too well.
And what kind of talk is that? If the address she gave is correct, is she implying that she's in the wrong? If Han Mingrui seeks revenge, won't he come after her?
Do you think he's a fool?
Oh……
So Qiwei said, "Chen Ru, I know you pretty well, I know what kind of person you are. You should stop with these little tricks. You can fool me, but you're really overthinking things if you think you can fool Young Master Han."
Qiwei's words completely shocked Shen Ru. Why didn't he believe her?
“I’m telling the truth! And you can come and see for yourself, come right now, I’m right here, they really do live here… Oh, right, Jiang Yan said that the person Han Shao’s men encountered that day was some kind of brother of Qin Yiheng, it was all a misunderstanding…”
Shen Ru thought that Qi Wei's attitude was because she hadn't explained things clearly.
“Yes, they’re brothers.” Unexpectedly, Qiwei suddenly agreed with her.
Just as Shen Ru was about to ask, "Since you know all this, why are you still treating me like this?", Qi Wei asked her first.
"Do you even know who those so-called brothers really are?" Qiwei's voice was full of sarcasm and mockery.
It's just unclear who this mockery is directed at.
Brothers are just friends, what other status do they have?
Shen Ru didn't react for a moment. Just as she realized that Qin Yiheng himself was not simple and that the people he knew must also be formidable figures, Qi Wei didn't give her a chance to answer his own question directly.
"It belongs to Yinghao Pavilion."
"Yinghao Pavilion?"
Shen Ru repeated it, completely bewildered. She was just an ordinary person and didn't know what those three words meant.
Qiwei patiently explained to her, "It's normal that you can't tell just by listening to this. What if I change it to 'Black Tiger Gang'?"
This is clearly not a good thing.
"Why do you think Young Master Han is so angry? Is it really just because he was tricked and his men were beaten up?"
Qiwei's words were already ambiguous, and Shenru's mind wasn't working very well right now. She could only sense that something was wrong, but couldn't think of anything else.
Qiwei had no intention of explaining further to her, but "kindly" advised, "Instead of spending time verifying where Jiang Yan's family lives, you should hurry up and think about it. Tomorrow is the deadline."
After saying that, Qiwei didn't give Shen Ru a chance to speak and hung up the phone directly.
Holding the now silent phone, Shen Ru stood there, stunned.
Throughout the day, her mood had been teetering on the brink of collapse, constantly testing the limits. Now, she had finally exhausted most of her already dwindling hope.
My heart is ashen; that's all there is to it.
The Black Tiger Gang and Yinghao Pavilion had nothing to do with her, and these people couldn't save her life. All she knew was that she had ended up in this state because of Jiang Yan and Qin Yiheng.
They were the real culprits, and now they're completely unharmed, while she's become the scapegoat, bearing all this burden, which is suffocating her.
But Shen Ru was not completely desperate...
Her gaze fell upon the villa in the distance, which was faintly illuminated. Inside, she imagined a scene of perfect peace and tranquility, a stark contrast to her current solitary existence.
Now, all her hopes, whether they were possible or not, rested on Jiang Yan.
Since Jiang Yan is heartless, don't blame her for being unjust.
This day was spent with Jiang Yan again; her time was running out.
Shen Ru felt that under these circumstances, whatever she did would be understandable.
Jiang Yan's family is wealthy; if they can get the money, they can resolve the current crisis.
As for how to obtain it...
Shen Ru took out her phone and posted another article.
Since posting several articles to arrange a meeting between Jiang Yan and her last time, Shen Ru hadn't posted much. Now, she had to resort to the power of the internet once again.
[Accusation! Famous anchorwoman failed to help her longtime best friend in a life-threatening situation!]
Such a fancy title quickly attracted the attention of many netizens as soon as it was released.
On the platform, Shen Ru went to great lengths to express her grief, making her words incredibly emotional. After her tearful outburst, her writing became so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of anyone who heard or saw it.
However, she only dared to mention Qi Wei and Han Mingrui's actions briefly, and mostly talked about Jiang Yan, because compared to the two of them, Jiang Yan seemed to pose less of a threat.
Whether it's through public pressure to make Qi Wei and Han Mingrui back down, or by getting Jiang Yan to help her, Shen Ru is happy to see either outcome achieved.
