Song Nuan had a premonition of the exhilarating feeling of success.
She suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
After being rescued by Lu Ziyang, she felt guilty and thought she had been heartless.
Now that she heard him asking for something in return, even if it wasn't money, Song Nuan felt a huge weight lifted off her chest.
She felt completely relaxed. "What does An Sze want?"
Seeing the faint happiness in her eyes, Lu Ziyang's anger flared, and his tone became much colder: "What do you think you can afford to repay?"
An Szeze is not short of money, and his power and status are higher than hers. Song Nuan really can't think of anything she has to offer in return.
She sighed inwardly.
As I turned my head, I saw An Sze walking over, his hair blowing in the wind, looking nonchalant.
Song Nuan turned to look at Lu Ziyang, "An Sze also has what I have. If there's anything I can help with, I'm always ready to help."
"As for you—" She pursed her lips, lost in thought.
The problem is that we owe not only An Sze-tse a favor, but also Lu Zi-yang.
He offered all his help, and Song Nuan accepted it all. In the past, she would turn a blind eye and let it go without saying anything.
But now that everything has been made clear, she can no longer pretend to be stupid.
But it's good to have all this figured out.
"I'll transfer you another sum of money." She said, taking out her phone. "If An Shao ever asks you to repay a favor in the future, I'll say it again: as long as I can help, you can come to me."
Lu Ziyang pressed her hand down, "I don't need money!"
"Then... job? status? power?"
"I don't want any of them." The more Song Nuan said, the uglier his face became visibly.
Song Nuan frowned, "Then what do you want?"
Isn't this what men have been pursuing since ancient times?
oh--
Song Nuan suddenly realized she had forgotten something and teased, "Want a woman?"
Lu Ziyang's gaze deepened as he looked at her, then shifted after a moment, his tone perfectly calm, "I don't need anything right now. You can owe me for now, but you can't refuse any requests I make in the future."
Knowing there was a trap as soon as she heard it, Song Nuan refused and immediately turned her back on him.
Lu Ziyang immediately saw her concerns and sneered inwardly, but still assured her, "It's not about murder or arson, and I certainly won't ask you to do anything dangerous or immoral. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Song Nuanxin finally felt relieved.
She was initially afraid that Lu Ziyang would ask her to continue their sexual relationship.
Their relationship was never supported by society to begin with, and after hearing his assurance that he wouldn't violate morality... their relationship probably won't go back to normal, right?
Song Nuan said, "Okay."
She was worried, but it wasn't appropriate to draft a contract for this, so she recorded the conversation as evidence.
Lu Ziyang was very cooperative.
We had just finished talking when someone knocked on the car window.
Looking up, I saw it was An Sze.
Rolling down the car window, Lu Ziyang asked, "What's wrong?"
"The body has been pulled out of the water, and the police are taking it back now. What do you say? Are you going to go back with them?" An Sze bent over, the wind blowing hard by the river, making it hard for him to open his eyes.
After saying that, he opened the passenger door and got in.
Lu Ziyang looked at Song Nuan, wanting to ask her opinion.
"I'll go to the police station with them," she said after a moment's thought. "After all, this matter involves me, and the police will probably ask me to give a statement sooner or later."
An Sze-tse disagreed, "She's dead, Li Shengwei has been arrested, and that settles the matter. I've already spoken to the police, and the evidence is conclusive. It doesn't matter whether you go or not."
Did he say hello?
Song Nuan was somewhat surprised and also felt a bit of a headache, realizing that she had unknowingly incurred another favor.
There's nothing we can do now that things have come to this.
Lu Ziyang said, "There's something else I haven't told you yet."
"What?"
He said, "The person who reported Xie Lingyu was Song Ningxue. The police had been watching Xie Lingyu for several days to see if she was involved in Xie Dazhuang's case, but Song Ningxue called the police saying that she was threatened with personal safety."
"It's her again." Song Nuan rubbed her throbbing temples.
Speaking of this, An Si-ze remembered it.
Director Zhou gave him something, which he casually tossed into the car.
He opened the drawer and rummaged through it, finding the USB drive in the corner.
“Nuan Nuan, this is the video from that night. Song Ningxue took this to the police and said that Xie Lingyu threatened her with you, demanding that she help Xie Lingyu escape, or she would expose your indecent video.”
Upon hearing the words "indecent video," Lu Ziyang's heart sank.
He reached out and snatched the USB drive.
Before it could even warm up, it was already in Song Nuan's hands.
Song Nuan stroked and played with it, the iron shell was cold to the touch. "She's probably lying to Song Ningxue."
She was stripped naked at the hotel, although not completely, but Xie Lingyu wasn't there at the time, so she couldn't record a video.
It could only have been taken in a private room at the club.
"Then what should we do?"
Song Nuan got out of the car, walked to the riverbank, and threw the USB drive into the river.
The USB drive was so small that it couldn't make a splash on the river, just as this threat couldn't stir up the slightest ripple in her heart.
Song Nuan still went to the police station.
After Lu Ziyang dropped her off at the villa, she drove out herself.
Xie Dazhuang is going to be sent to prison today. Song Nuan asked Fang Yu to go to the Song family to get some of Xie Lingyu's belongings so that she could see Xie Dazhuang one last time.
Xie Dazhuang thought she was going to interrogate him about who was behind it all, so he said expressionlessly, "Don't bother."
"Xie Lingyu is dead." Song Nuan uttered these words without warning, in a cold and indifferent manner.
Xie Dazhuang was stunned.
He seemed stunned, frozen for several seconds, staring blankly at Song Nuan for a long time before his gaze gradually focused, his face full of disbelief, "W-what did you say?"
Song Nuan repeated, "Xie Lingyu is dead. She jumped into the river and committed suicide."
"Impossible!" Xie Dazhuang roared, his eyes wide. "Ayu would never commit suicide. She's not that kind of person. Did you kill her and lie to me that she committed suicide?"
Song Nuan smiled slightly, "Strictly speaking, she did not commit suicide, but was driven to the brink of despair and forced to her death. But I was not the one who drove her to her death, otherwise I would not be here telling you all this."
After saying that, she handed over Xie Lingyu's employee badge, which indicated that she had been dismissed but remained with the Song family.
There is a photo of her on it.
His eyes were bright, his smile was radiant, and he still had a touch of youthful naiveté.
Xie Dazhuang took it, his hands trembling uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face as he smeared them onto the name tag. But with his hands cuffed, he couldn't wipe away his tears while holding the photo.
"Who did it?! Who did it?!"
“It was Song Ningxue who called the police. Xie Lingyu was being chased by the police and was probably scared. In a moment of despair, she jumped into the river,” Song Nuan said calmly. “But you should understand that the person who truly drove her to her death wasn’t just Song Ningxue. Who are you working for? Who is using her to threaten you?”
Xie Dazhuang gripped his employee badge tightly.
He suddenly looked up, as if he had made up his mind, "I have no evidence, but it was Zhou Min who made me do it."
"Not a single piece of evidence was preserved?" Song Nuan frowned.
Without evidence, even if the case is overturned and the accusation is made, it will be difficult to establish a valid case, and Zhou Min will most likely be able to clear herself of any wrongdoing.
She quietly pressed the record button.
