QQ...

"Ye Shaolong is your brother..."

"Yeah."

"Why are your relationships like this? Because of me?"

"It was like this when I first came to Capital City, don't overthink it."

"Oh."

"I'll be back soon."

"Oh."

After shutting off her phone, Liu Siyan lay quietly on the bed.

Coming back soon? So what? You are still you... I'm still me, and we can only continue being parallel lines that never intersect.

Huang Shanshan finally appeared, but she was secretly taken to the police station to record another statement. The police informed her that this statement would be used directly as evidence in court. At that time, Huang Shanshan wouldn't have to testify in court.

Of course, if Ye Xiaofan confessed to what he did, then the trial would just be a formality.

"Here, as promised, a hundred thousand. Count it yourself."

In the hotel room, Ye Weiwei came with the money to Huang Shanshan's room.

Looking at the ten stacks of cash on the table, Huang Shanshan didn't show too much excitement.

"Anyway, he's already been expelled from the school, what if we withdraw the complaint, if I don't pursue it, then he won't..."

"Sure, but once he's out, do you still want to continue studying at Capital University? Now that my goal has been achieved, you handle the rest yourself," Ye Weiwei said nonchalantly.

"Will Ye Xiaofan go to jail?" Ye Shaolong, who came along, also asked calmly.

"Within three years, but if Dads spends some money and Shanshan's statement pleads for leniency, he could be out in about a year," Ye Weiwei had checked into this, hence her calmness.

"Sis, don't you think we're being too harsh? After all, he's our Uncle's only son."

"Harsh? Shaolong, all of this is for you. Now, you should focus on pursuing Liu Siyan, and when he's out later, just give him some money to live well," Ye Weiwei's logic was indeed clear, but applying such logic to frame a family member, well, it only shows how selfish humans can be.

"Right, give him some money..." Ye Shaolong nodded heavily. "Even if he can't go to university, I can give him a good job, and with money, he can live well. In the end, he should be grateful to me."

"Saying it like that, I really should be endlessly grateful to you two siblings, thinking out the future path for me."

While the three were discussing future plans, a voice suddenly came from the doorway, startling all three into wide-eyed disbelief as they looked towards the entrance.

The door slowly opened, and indeed, Xiaofan walked in holding a room card.

"Police, the three of you are suspected of framing someone, come with me to the station for investigation..."

Following in was Lin Miaoke, who immediately showed her police badge, taking a stern and imposing stance.

Seeing the police, the three were too scared to speak, trembling as they stood still.

"Hey, hey... let me handle this, okay..."

"I'm doing it for your innocence, you..."

"Officer Lin, this is a family matter, it's better handled by ourselves. Have a seat," Tang Tianyou gently patted Lin Miaoke's shoulder.

Perhaps at this moment, both of them understood why Xiaofan looked so grim before and why he had earlier told them not to announce the truth.

Xiaofan walked in slowly, looking sternly at the three people in front of him.

"Ye Xiaofan, we were just here to see Huang Shanshan, and you brought the police here, what do you mean..."

At this point, Ye Weiwei still wanted to argue.

"Yeah, exactly, weren't you supposed to be in custody? How could you be out? And those two officers, taking a detainee out without permission, I want to file a complaint against you," Ye Shaolong also followed nervously.

But Huang Shanshan, full of guilt, avoided Xiaofan's gaze after a glance.

"A hundred thousand? Not bad."

With a light shake, Xiaofan dumped the hundred thousand from the paper bag onto the table. Without speaking to the three he knew, he bent down slightly to pull out a bugging device from under the table; there was also one among the potted plants nearby, along with a camera.

Three cameras, five bugging devices. Xiaofan found them all and placed them on the table, finally taking off the wireless earpiece from his ear.

"These are bugging devices and pinhole cameras. Sis, if you could have waited ten more days or half a month, I wouldn't have been able to get such critical evidence."

That "Sis" was said with particular disheartenment.

"Ye Xiaofan, what's going on? You didn't even leave for a moment these days, why..."

"Alright, I'll explain it to you, since I knew I was being framed, Huang Shanshan must have been instructed by someone. I just needed Li Kuo to check whom she contacted after, and then think about any grievances between me and them to guess the general situation."

As it turns out, Xiaofan was prepared from the start.

When Xiaofan was arrested, Li Kuo and the principal immediately went to the police station to find him. Following Xiaofan's instructions, they monitored Huang Shanshan's phone records. Sure enough, they first traced it back to Ye Weiwei.

That's why Xiaofan looked so grim that day; he had already guessed the truth, but it was too hard to accept.

As Xiaofan had guessed, Ye Weiwei was calm enough not to contact Huang Shanshan immediately, but this didn't stop Xiaofan from seeking valid evidence.

First, the expulsion from Capital University was only something the principal did according to Xiaofan's plan, which successfully dispelled Ye Weiwei's concerns.

Later, today's arrangement to record the statement was also Xiaofan's deliberate setup. Because Li Kuo had already found out that Ye Weiwei withdrew a hundred thousand in cash from her account today.

That means they were likely to meet today.

Since they could monitor Huang Shanshan's phone records, they could definitely track her exact location through the signal. Li San, the descendant of the Divine Thief Sect, stealthily installed cameras and bugging devices in the hotel room while Huang Shanshan was recording her statement.

Finally, they caught them red-handed. But in the end, how will this incident conclude?

"Ye Xiaofan, this has nothing to do with Shaolong, don't make it hard for him..." Knowing there was no retreat, Ye Weiwei could only grit her teeth and maintain her last bit of pride.
