Reborn as the Cinnabar Mole of the Prince of Beijing's Elite Circle

Anping is dead, but An Wenxin is also an accomplice. She embezzled company funds and even tried to use someone else to kill her. Well done! A woman like that should stay in prison for the rest of her life. That's An Wenxin's fate!

On the way here, he had already had someone hand over the evidence to the police. They'll take it back to Beicheng and deal with it properly. Now let's see who dares to release An Wenxin.

Just then, the police arrived and took An Wenxin away, ignoring her explanations.

Lan Mingqing lowered his eyes slightly, then stared into Xie Yu'an's eyes. "Your Highness, I'm telling the truth. I didn't do it to Miss An. There's no point in me doing it. Think about it, Miss An is Si Muxi's daughter from the Si family. Even if I don't care about you, I should at least consider the Si family. The Si family and our Lan family have always been on good terms. I wouldn't offend both you and the Si family. Wouldn't that be digging my own grave?"

As long as he doesn't say anything, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, he didn't do it in the first place; he really did nothing wrong.

Seeing Lan Mingqing so composed, Xie Yu'an was furious, but finally had no choice but to let go.

He glanced at Shen Yuxiao.

"Boss, something's fishy. There might be someone else involved."

Actually, if you think about it carefully, Lan Mingqing wouldn't be so stupid as to deliberately leave out a watch, even though he knew that An Cinian had a prince and the Si family, the richest family in Nancheng, behind her.

"Very well, I'll let you off this time, but you have to prove your innocence. You'd better keep an eye on my wife's affairs and don't let me find out anything. After all, what your Lan family does behind the scenes is no different from what Anping does."

We can let Lan Mingqing off the hook, but we must also issue a warning.

Xie Yu'an left with his men.

Lan Xiao was so frightened by Xie Yu'an's expression that she didn't say a word and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Lan Mingqing has seen all sorts of storms in his life, but he never expected that he would feel afraid today.

Only after watching Xie Yu'an's departing figure did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Si Qiyan, I've helped you, but you have to promise me you won't try to take advantage of my company again. Now that we both have leverage over each other, let's just leave each other alone.

"Boss, what should we do next? Should we go to the Si family's place and see if they're the ones behind this?"

The Si family has been too quiet lately. They found their daughter but didn't bring her home. Could it be that they're still resentful?

He was at a loss. If it was the Si family, then he would make enemies of the entire Si family. If it wasn't the Si family, then he would seek their help. After all, Nancheng was not his territory, and he was not familiar with many places. Moreover, the Si family held a very high position in Nancheng.

Xie Yu'an couldn't accept An Cinian's disappearance, so he took Shen Yuxiao to the Si family.

"Do you know what you're saying? How could my sister just disappear?!"

Si Muyun slammed her hand on the table, disregarding usual etiquette and standing up first, her face full of displeasure towards Xie Yu'an.

If it weren't for the man's status, he would have grabbed Xie Yu'an by the collar and given her a few more punches. He couldn't even keep an eye on her sister!

"It is indeed my fault, I admit it, but Niannian's disappearance is too sudden. In Nancheng, I don't have enough connections, so I hope you can help me find my wife."

Xie Yu'an wasn't the kind of person who couldn't swallow his pride; he was willing to plead as long as there was even the slightest hope.

"Hmph, of course I will go looking for my sister."

Si Muyun expressed that he was a little unhappy with Xie Yu'an. He had wanted to build a good relationship with Qingqing before because of her, so he couldn't interfere with the people around Qingqing. He also believed that the Crown Prince was capable of taking good care of his sister.

And now, things have turned out badly; in such a short time, my sister has disappeared.

"Dad, Qingqing and this guy haven't been in Nancheng for very long. Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting us?"

Si Muyun walked to Si Muxi's side, bent down and whispered.

After all, the Si family not only has external enemies, but everyone present is also a formidable opponent. Who knows if someone did this on purpose?

Si Muxi frowned. As for Qingqing's matter, if someone deliberately targeted them and knew that Qingqing had been found, very few people knew.

His eyes swept over everyone present, trying to glean useful information from their expressions.

"Third brother, it's not fair of you to think of us like that. How could we possibly kidnap Qingqing? If the old man finds out, being kicked out of the family would be the lightest punishment."

Seeing Si Muxi's expression, Si Muying stood up, intending to explain.

They weren't that stupid. Ever since the internal family struggle eighteen years ago, which greatly reduced the power of the Si family, many outsiders took advantage of the situation to try and seize the Si family's property and land.

At that time, even Lan Mingqing, who was always on good terms with Si Jing, did not lend a helping hand. It was all their own effort and sacrifices that allowed them to return to their peak three years later.

But it's also clear that the Xie couple really have a good relationship with Si Muxi and have always been willing to help them, perhaps out of a sense of guilt.

So over the years, they still look down on each other and scheme against each other, but they have never thought of hurting their own family. Moreover, they watched Si Qing grow up, and Si Qing has a likable personality. There is no deep hatred or grudge against them, so why would they kidnap Si Qing?

Besides, they didn't want to waste such a comfortable life on causing trouble and going against the Crown Prince.

"Third Brother, don't worry, we will help with this."

Si Muxi frowned even more. Si Mufei was actually being so kind as to help... Regardless of whether these people were sincere or not, he didn't want to speculate here. Taking action was the most important thing.

Looking at the Si family, Xie Yu'an's gaze once again fixed on Si Qiyan, who had remained silent throughout. Why was this man so calm at this moment?

He stepped forward and faced Si Qiyan.

"You didn't even offer a single explanation."

Si Qiyan knew perfectly well that this person would suspect him, but what did it matter?

"The innocent are innocent, so why should I explain myself to you?"

What can you do to me if it's me?

“Brother-in-law, Brother Ayan would never do that, you don’t need to worry.”

Si Muyi was startled and quickly reached out to stand next to Si Qiyan, shaking her head in denial. "Brother Ayan likes my sister so much, he would never do anything to hurt her."

Xie Yu'an said softly, his voice filled with disdain. "That's for the best. If he finds out that this person did it, he will definitely not let him off the hook."

Si Qiyan remained silent. He knew he needed to stay calm, which was in line with his persona. Deliberately showing off would only arouse suspicion. He had to be absolutely certain of success.

After leaving the four houses, Xie Yu'an sat in the car, his face full of melancholy. Niannian, where are you?

He was starting to suspect that everything that had happened today was a conspiracy by someone else—to get rid of him and then take An Cinian away, clearly targeting his wife.

Who else is involved with Niannian?

He thought back and searched through all the people he knew, suspecting even the slightest bit of ill intent or ulterior motives.

A painting!

Yes, I need to go to Huang Renfeng's place tomorrow; maybe we can get some clues.

An Cinian felt like she had a very long dream, so long that her head started to ache. She groggily touched her head and sat up: "Ayu, I want to drink water."

He subconsciously called out Xie Yu'an's name.

But she was alone in the empty room, and no one answered.

Her brows furrowed, and her eyes widened instantly as she looked around. Where was she?!

That's when she realized that someone seemed to have kidnapped her yesterday!

She gently touched her cheek and suddenly realized something was wrong. Looking down, she discovered that her ring and watch were gone.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed, "My ring!"
