Hong Kong is in full swing

After hearing this, Yu Wan expressed her gratitude.

The car drove away from the top of the mountain and took Yu Wan to the gallery in Sheung Wan.

The car was quiet. Huo Chuyan was busy operating his laptop, and the keyboard tapping sounds were crisp and continuous.

Yu Wan had nothing to do, so she began to silently count the textures of the leather seats in the car. She counted to sixty-five when suddenly a slight laugh came from the side. Yu Wan's face flushed, and she was not sure whether Huo Chuyan was laughing at her. She glanced at him calmly, but found that Huo Chuyan was still concentrating on his work with his head down, and did not look at her. Yu Wan breathed a sigh of relief and continued counting to eleven.

There was another chuckle.

This time, Yu Wan was absolutely certain that he was laughing at her.

"Mr. Huo, what are you laughing at?"

Huo Chuyan slowly closed his notebook, and looked at her with a smile on his handsome face: "Can you play with yourself all day long?"

Yu Wan's cheeks flushed, "I just can't sit still."

Huo Chuyan chuckled, Yu Wan pursed her lips and turned her head away embarrassedly.

The morning light penetrated the branches of the sycamore trees on both sides of the road on the top of the mountain, and sprinkled on the wet ground in front of the car. The tires slid lightly, and the soft light gently passed over the roof, filling the car with a warm and beautiful atmosphere.

After about half an hour's drive, the car stopped steadily and Baogui's voice came again: "We're here."

A familiar fence came into view. Yu Wan got out of the car and said goodbye to Huo Chuyan, "Goodbye, Mr. Huo."

"See you next time, Yu Wan."

The car drove away. Yu Wan stood there, watching it disappear before turning and walking back to the gallery construction site. She worked until ten in the morning, when she received a phone call reporting, "Qiao Heng has really taken action."

Yu Wan responded, and the person on the other end of the phone continued, "This morning, the Guangdong Times reported that Qiao Wang was taken away for investigation."

"What crime?"

"It's ready-made—gambling and rape." The other party scoffed. "He didn't even bother setting up another plan. Is he that lazy?"

"It's not laziness." Yu Wan's expression remained unchanged as she said, "He actually wanted to drag me down with him and make me take the blame for his actions."

The voice on the other end suddenly seemed to realize something and cursed: "Why didn't lightning strike this despicable man?"

At this moment, Qiao Peifeng's phone rang and occupied the line. Yu Wan switched back and said, "I have to go back to the Qiao family tonight. I'll leave the follow-up matters to you."

"Do not worry."

After the call ended, Yu Wan called Qiao Peifeng back. There was no extra preamble, just a cold order: "Go home tonight, I have something to ask you."

"understood."

At eight o'clock in the evening, Yu Wan finished her work in Hong Kong Island and took the subway back to the Qiao family in Pengcheng.

As soon as she entered the room, before she could make any move, Qiao Peifeng sternly ordered, "Kneel down."

Yu Wan stood there without moving. When she looked up, she found that several influential people in the Qiao family had already taken their seats in the hall, waiting for her. They looked as if everything was ready, as if they were going to have a three-court trial.

"I didn't know what I had done wrong, but as soon as I got back, my father made me kneel."

Before Qiao Peifeng could say anything, the eldest wife, Wen Huiying, could no longer contain herself. She grabbed the teacup on the table and slammed it down at Yu Wan. "You kneeled when I told you to. Are you deaf?"

Yu Wan dodged the teacup, but couldn't avoid the splattering tea. The scalding hot tea splashed onto the back of her hand, causing her to gasp. The tea was incredibly hot. The old lady had injured her esophagus when she was young, so she couldn't drink such hot tea.

It was obviously prepared specially for her.

Yu Wan covered her hands, not flinching, and said coldly, "Everyone wants to interrogate me and find me guilty, but I won't plead guilty. Everyone is here, why don't we have a confrontation first and make me admit defeat sincerely!"

"You still want to argue? What else do you want to say?" Wen Huiying was so angry that she immediately stood up from her chair, pinching her handkerchief and pointing at her and scolding her: "Your eldest brother was deceived by you on Xingdao Island. He finally came back, but I didn't expect you to run to the police station to report him, just because you are afraid that he will have a good life. You hate him, hate the master, and hate the Qiao family!"

This barrage of questions was still echoing in the living room. Yu Wan's eyes swept over the reactions of everyone present: the Second Wife was drinking tea leisurely as if she was watching a play, Qiao Peifeng's eyes were as dark as a knife, but he did not move for the time being; Qiao Heng sat upright next to Yang Shiyu, drinking tea with her, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Retracting her gaze, Yu Wan said, "The First Madam must have been so angry that she's lost her mind. Has she forgotten I'm Yu Wan? How could someone without money or power possibly frame Big Brother in a foreign country?"

"You're still stubborn even when you're about to die. You have to wait until all the evidence is in front of you before you admit your guilt, right?!" Wen Huiying pointed at Qiao Heng with a handkerchief in her hand. "Qiao Lao San, why are you still standing there? Bring the person out!"

"So it was all your doing, Third Brother." Yu Wan turned to Qiao Heng with a cold gaze. "I'd really like to know what kind of actor you can find and what evidence you can produce to prove that I was the one who framed Big Brother."

Qiao Heng met her gaze and sighed softly, his tone full of unclear meaning: "Fourth sister, why are you quibbling? Everyone in this courtyard knows how deep the rift between you and your eldest brother is. Haven't you been looking for an opportunity to take revenge on him for so many years? Third brother understands that people can't let go of the past easily, but you can't push third brother into the fire pit. Since you are so heartless, there is no need for me to talk about brotherly love." Qiao Heng put down the teacup and then shouted: "Bring the person up!"

Following the sound, the servant of the villa walked into the hall with a woman with an American face.

Yu Wan saw that it was the Xingdao woman who had called the police at the hotel that day and accused Qiao Heng of sexual assault! Qiao Heng had actually found her!

"Fourth sister, how is it? Does this person look familiar?"

Yu Wan looked at the nervous American woman in the living room and said calmly, "She's the victim of Big Brother's rape case on Sing Tao Island." Her lips twitched slightly, as if a sudden thought had struck her. She slowly said, "Big Brother's case has only been going on for twelve hours. Including finding someone, waiting for the plane, and rushing all the way here... all in all, it's only been a day. There's no way this person could have gotten here so quickly."

At this point, Yu Wan smiled and said, "People who don't know the situation would think that she and Third Brother have always had a good relationship and have always lived in Third Brother's house."

"Fourth sister, you don't have to attract everyone's attention like this. I admit she didn't just arrive in Pengcheng today." Qiao Heng said with a smile, "Actually, ever since my eldest brother got into trouble on Xingdao Island, I've always felt there were a lot of suspicious aspects to the whole thing. But at that time, my father and the first wife were already worried. To avoid disturbing them, I privately investigated whether my eldest brother was truly wronged. I didn't expect that I would actually find out something." Qiao Heng slowly said to the woman, "Bass, repeat what you said to me before everyone."
