“Do you have any suspects?” Jiang Yining asked.

“No.” Yan Han was silent for a few seconds before he added, “Even if there is, I don’t want to do anything for her. Yining, that person caused my father to die of depression. 1 don’t want to have any connections with her anymore. If you want to investigate the truth of what happened back then, go ahead and do it yourself. I won’t provide you with any help.”

“If you really didn’t want to do anything for her, you wouldn’t have hidden the truth for so many years.” Jiang Yining said calmly, “Yan Han, whether you admit it or not, you still have feelings for her.”

Mrs. Qi hadn’t been indifferent to him.

Ever since she brought him back, she had been taking care of him meticulously.

Humans are not like plants, who can be devoid of feelings?

Moreover, the Yan Han she knew was not a heartless person.

Yan Han’s face remained expressionless. He didn’t admit or deny what she said.

Jiang Yining knew that after so many years, it wouldn’t be easy to investigate the person who stole the painting, so she didn’t press for more answers.

“If you recall any clues, you can tell me. In order to give Elder Qi an explanation, 1 will continue to investigate. I’ll be leaving first.”

Jiang Yining stood up and bid farewell.

Yan Han looked at her back and said,” Yining, I’ll be staying in A-City for quite some time. If you have time, we can meet more often. You are the only old friend 1 have left in this city. I hope you won’t blame me for what happened in the past.”

Jiang Yining stopped in her tracks, then lightly acknowledged with a sound, turned away from him, and left the restaurant.

When she reached the elevator and was about to go down, she heard a familiar voice calling her name.

Jiang Yining turned her head and saw Yan Ruo looking at her with a deep gaze.

Yan Ruo walked up to her step by step and commanded, “Didn’t you promise to help me pay back the 12 billion? Now that you’ve successfully cleared yourself of the suspicion of plagiarism, have you forgotten about me? Or… You deliberately left me in the lurch, wanting Yuan Luochen to kill me?”

Jiang Yining found it funny. “I did promise to save you, but 1 should be the one deciding when to save you, not you. Yan Ruo, 1 don’t owe you anything. Stop using this demanding tone to talk to me!”

“You don’t owe me anything? Jiang Yining, it’s all thanks to you that I’ve fallen to this state! My fame, my personal safety, have all been taken away by you!”

Yan Ruo growled angrily.

Jiang Yining shook her head gently. “Your skills weren’t up to par. Instead of working hard to improve yourself, you chose to deviate and deliberately associate with scoundrels like Yuan Luochen. Your current situation is not my doing. It’s your own choice. Besides, do you and Jin Yuhua really intend to help me? 1 doubt it!”

At that time, she had seen it for real. After Yan Han cleared her name of plagiarism, Jin Yuhua and Yan Ruo’s expressions turned unpleasant!

This was precisely why Jiang Yining hadn’t rushed to help Yan Ruo and pay the 12 billion in compensation for breaching the contract!

Yan Ruo originally thought that Yuan Luochen’s scheme was malicious. But at this moment, when she saw Jiang Yining’s cold expression and heard Jiang Yining put the blame on her, she changed her mind.

Someone like her, who persecuted others but didn’t know her mistake, deserved to be defiled!

Why should she feel guilty?

A touch of cruelty flashed in Yan Ruo’s eyes. She suppressed the anger in her heart and said with a pleading tone, “I admit that I was wrong. But 1 swear that I really want my father to prove your innocence. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my father.”

“Yining, please help me. Yuan Luochen gave me a deadline to return the money to him tonight. Otherwise, he’ll force me to sell myself. I’m still young and 1 don’t want to be ruined by him for the rest of my life. Besides, my father can’t afford such a disgrace… Please save me on account of my father…”

Jiang Yining never intended to force her into a corner.

She just couldn’t stand the way she was still demanding this and that when she had a favor to ask of others.

She stared coldly at Yan Ruo for a moment.

Jiang Yining spoke in a deep voice, “I can lend you 12 billion, but you have to find a way to pay it back. In addition, Yan Ruo, I will let you off for your father’s sake. However, if you dare to do anything bad behind my back in the future, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”

Her eyes were exceptionally murderous, and the pressure she released was extremely low.

It was so heavy that it was almost suffocating.

Yan Ruo looked at her for a few seconds, then silently shifted her gaze to the side. “Fine, I understand.”

Anyway, after tonight, Jiang Yining’s reputation would be ruined.

Heh…

Yan Ruo would love to see if Jiang Yining got caught in an affair and would still be able as arrogant and condescending as she was now!

“I’ll go with you to get the check,” Yan Ruo said.

“Okay.”

Jiang Yining nodded.

The elevator happened to reach their floor, and the two of them stepped in together.

When they arrived at the parking lot, the Lu family’s car approached.

Jiang Yining opened the back door and got in first.

Yan Ruo followed and went to the other side.

After the two of them sat down, the driver started the car.

On the way, Yan Ruo fell silent for a while. Then, she took the initiative to ask, “Have you resolved the grudge between you and my father?”

“Yes.”

Jiang Yining said calmly.

Yan Ruo couldn’t help but be curious and asked again, “What are you really after? Why go to such lengths to force my father to come back?”

Jiang Yining glanced at her and said, “This is our adult’s business. It has nothing to do with you.”

Yan Ruo wasn’t convinced.

She was only two years younger than Jiang Yining. What right did she have to say that she was young?

“You’re not much older than me,” Yan Ruo muttered softly.

Jiang Yining said calmly, “1 have a higher seniority. You’re the junior.”

She and Yan Han were of the same generation.

Logically speaking, Yan Ruo should address her as ‘aunty’.

However, she didn’t want a junior as stupid as Yan Ruo.

Yan Ruo snorted and ignored her.

Jiang Yining also remained silent.

There was a long silence.

Jiang Yining’s brows furrowed slightly as she glanced out of the window.

This wasn’t the way back to the Lu family’s villa.

Even if it was a long detour, they shouldn’t have taken this route.

She looked ahead warily and realized that the driver wasn’t the one the Lu family had specially sent to her.

Something was amiss…

Jiang Yining turned to look at Yan Ruo and gave her a look.

Yan Ruo was slightly stunned. “What are you doing?”

This idiot!

Jiang Yining cursed under her breath and took out her phone to send a message to Lu Zhi.

However, before she could do anything.

The driver turned the steering wheel violently, and she lost her balance and fell to Yan Ruo’s side.

The phone fell to the ground.

Jiang Yining struggled to prop herself up and said to Yan Ruo, “This driver is suspicious. Jump out of the car with me…”

Halfway through her sentence, Yan Ruo stabbed a syringe at her.

“Of course, the driver is suspicious, because I arranged it. Jiang Yining, you must pay the price for your arrogance..”
