Chapter 148 The Paper "Lover" is a Little Busy (Part 8)
An Nannan looked at Si Yisi's profile from behind and was so shocked that she stammered.
She was starting to doubt whether the Si Yisi in front of her was her relative—maybe, he might even be her older brother.
If An Nannan's appearance is exquisite and beautiful, then on Si Yisi, it better highlights his aloofness, as if he were detached from the world and untouched by worldly affairs.
It's hard to imagine that two identical faces placed together could have such a huge difference in their aura.
But most people's attention wasn't on that.
An Nannan and Tang Yunlan watched as the man who had ambushed them rolled on the ground, covering his eyes. They felt a surge of relief, but also a sense of relief at having survived a close call.
Tang Yunlan tugged at An Nannan with lingering fear. What she said was not an exaggeration; it might have already become a reality!
"If our whereabouts are discovered beforehand... what if Shizuru is caught and taken back as soon as she comes out!"
"The address she sent us may very well be a trap waiting for us to fall into!"
Just then, the man writhing on the ground in agony quietly took something out—
An Nannan knew something was wrong and instinctively kicked the man's hand.
Her training these past few days hadn't been in vain; this strike had truly paid off. At the same time, no, even earlier, was Si Yisi who made her move!
An Nannan kicked the man's left hand, while Si Yisi stepped on the man's right hand!
He used just the right amount of force to stomp on the man who still harbored wicked intentions, stomping on him until he was bent over like a shrimp and let out meaningless screams, without suffering any real harm.
But men don't think that way!
He felt as if his hands were being crushed by the rough soles of the shoes, as if nails were trying to drive him into the ground!
Although my other hand doesn't hurt as much, I can't pretend the pain doesn't exist!
"My hand is definitely ruined, ruined!" He even started rolling his eyes in pain, his mind reeling from his own imagination, completely unaware that he was perfectly fine!
Under such mental pressure, the man loosened his grip on what he was holding—he probably felt wronged and killed, having only tried to tip someone off, only to be met with this deadly series of attacks.
A cell phone rolled to the ground.
Si Yisi bent down, picked up the phone, brushed off the dust, and forcefully pulled the man's finger to press his fingerprint on it.
The phone unlocked smoothly, and the first thing that appeared was the contact interface. A contact named Brother Lian was lying quietly at the front. Si Yisi immediately saw the instructions Brother Lian had given to the man on the ground.
“A few clueless women attracted the police and even tried to rescue this little brat Cheng Jingliu, but I saw through their scheme long ago.”
"I'll play along..."
Upon hearing Si Yisi's voice, An Nannan and the other woman's expressions immediately turned extremely grim.
“You all take turns guarding the four directions. I’ve already moved that brat—the groom who’s supposed to come to fetch the bride will be here in about half an hour to inspect the goods.”
"One million! And you better get this over with quickly, don't let anything go wrong!"
One million is not an amount that can be taken out casually. To take out one million for Cheng Jingliu... this is a windfall for the Cheng family in the village.
No wonder they sold it so easily.
An Nannan and Tang Yunlan exchanged a glance, both keenly sensing that something was amiss with the amount of one million.
The person behind this attempt to force Cheng Jingliu into marriage definitely has some influence!
Si Yisi knew more—his chest pocket contained two creatures, Luo Xiao and He Bai, who were cautiously peeking out. The little guy He Bai was chattering away in his ear.
“Jingliu heard it, and I heard it too—the person who wanted to buy her was a guy surnamed Yang, and he had a nephew who had inspected Jingliu’s goods before.”
Si Yisi paused for a moment, his expression suddenly becoming unpredictable and dangerous. He abruptly reached out and touched An Nannan's head as a gesture of reassurance.
If that's the case, Cheng Jingliu could truly be considered to have suffered an undeserved disaster.
This also shows how hopeless a fool Yang Muyan is—he couldn't do anything to An Nannan for the time being, so he started with the people around her and did such an inhumane thing!
Simply put, you could say: "Have no shame!"
Conversely, An Nannan was really unlucky to have encountered such a troublesome person as Yang Muyan!
An Nannan was completely bewildered by the head pat, but after meeting Si Yisi's reassuring and composed expression, she couldn't utter a word in rebuttal.
His voice... An Nannan felt that Si Yisi's voice sounded somewhat familiar.
Where did she hear that before?
Si Yisi glanced contemptuously at the struggling man on the ground, then swiftly knocked him unconscious and threw him into a corner.
"Don't worry, no one was killed—" Si Yisi explained, lowering her phone so that An Nannan and the others could see what she had sent.
[I've caught those two. Just in case, brothers, come help me out a little. I'll treat you guys to drinks afterwards!]
A carefree young man, puffing on a cigarette, was enjoying himself when his eyes lit up when he saw someone offering him drinks: "Why is this guy surnamed Hu acting so different today? So generous and magnanimous... Hehe."
The man strode towards the spot where the man surnamed Hu was guarding. He had no idea that this wasn't a rare act of generosity from the Hu family; it was clearly—
It was a trap.
An Nannan hesitated, but Tang Yunlan was much more direct: "Wouldn't this alert the enemy?"
"Um," she glanced cautiously at Si Yisi and said, "Nannan's...brother?"
Si Yisi ignored Tang Yunlan's questioning of his actions, and simply replied, "Let them come to their deaths on their own, doesn't that save a lot of time?"
"After taking down the small fry, the big fish comes. By peeling back the layers like this, we'll soon catch the big fish." Si Yisi's eyes seemed to be filled with frost, or like the fierce wind mixed with rain that had swept through before a storm.
Upon seeing Si Yisi's expression at this moment, An Nannan and Tang Yunlan couldn't help but believe what Si Yisi said.
—Even more so, they had a vague premonition that someone was going to be in trouble.
On the other side.
Yinnan University.
An Nannan's grandmother, Qiao Huixin, is communicating with her counselor, but as things stand, the counselor is very biased towards Yang Muyan.
“How could that be? Yang isn’t that kind of person.” The counselor immediately retorted after hearing Qiao Huixin’s words. “Besides, although he broke up with An Nannan, we all know that it was just a quarrel between them.”
“Grandma Qiao, if An Nannan has suffered any grievances, she can tell us. There’s absolutely no need to slander Yang like this.”
Qiao Huixin carefully observed the counselor's expression for a while. Looking at this exaggerated performance, she let out a cold laugh, then raised her voice and questioned him with great force:
"You speak so eloquently here, but you don't actually know the facts at all, do you? As a counselor, you're biased towards students with moral failings, believing everything you hear without investigating the truth, and instead you try to fool this old woman with this piece of junk?"
"Let me put it this way, I don't believe a single word you've said! Do you really think I'm an old woman with failing eyesight that I can't understand what you mean?"
"Is your next sentence going to be telling me to go back and ask my granddaughter if she framed that student Yang out of thin air? What made you say such a thing, violating professional ethics? I reasonably suspect that you received a bribe from that student Yang."
"How could you..." the counselor exclaimed anxiously.
“What’s wrong? Alright, alright, the old woman can’t communicate with you normally anymore,” Qiao Huixin said without taking a breath. She walked out with her cane. “I’ll go find someone who can listen to what the old woman is saying.”
Just as the counselor was about to stop Qiao Huixin, she turned her head and glared at her, saying, "Trying to stop me by force? Aren't you afraid I'm not in good health and might accidentally fall?"
The counselor didn't dare to move. Qiao Huixin slowly walked out, but she didn't feel any pleasure in arguing with the person.
Just as she herself said—it's hard to imagine what Yang Muyan did to make the teacher favor him!
Based on this alone, Qiao Huixin could imagine what Yang Muyan, now bolder, might do next.
He is very likely to shift all the blame onto others and instead use rumors to frame An Nannan!
After all, his "love" for An Nannan is so obvious and passionate, so if he does something wrong, it must be An Nannan's fault!
Qiao Huixin is an elderly woman who keeps up with the times, so she understands how terrible rumors can be—they can destroy a city wall in an instant.
What should we do at this time?
Going deep into the grassroots... I don't know where that little Nan Nan has run off to, so I'll let her take over for a while. Qiao Huixin took on this task without hesitation.
Of course, she wouldn't speak recklessly without evidence. If Yang Muyan were truly that kind of disgusting person, those classmates who spent a lot of time with him would have noticed something.
Didn't notice anything at all? Then this student Yang can truly be called a saint.
Yang Muyan was comfortably reclining in his chair at home, lazily talking on the phone.
"Uncle, are you about to meet her? I wish you all the best." Yang Muyan exchanged a few more words with the person on the other end of the phone, and then retorted, "Why would she be unwilling? Uncle, you like her so much, she will definitely gradually feel your love for her and then fall in love with you too."
"So what if she's thirty years older? Isn't it a normal pairing for an older man and a young wife?" Yang Muyan said nonchalantly. "These days, which rich person doesn't have some fun? Who knows, she might even be glad she was able to climb into the upper class so easily after marrying you."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Muyan was pleased with himself for bringing a good match together.
Who knew that, by sheer coincidence, his uncle, who had always been single, would fall for Nan Nan's roommate.
Yang Muyan licked his lips and thought of An Nannan's face again. Although he was still shaken and could feel waves of pain in his body, he knew that this sensitive period would pass...
He'll be another hero!
Maintaining distance occasionally is also a good approach, making it easier for Nan Nan to accept you again.
—After all, they are about to become even closer in marriage.
An Nannan suddenly felt a lump in her throat, as if she had swallowed an ugly fly.
