A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1617 - 326: The Ones Who Slipped Through the Net—A Household Name (First Update)

Chapter 1617: Chapter 326: The Ones Who Slipped Through the Net—A Household Name (First Update)

Prosecutor Cai narrowed his eyes: "Mr. Yan, I advise you not to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Making a big scene is not good for your reputation..."

"I’m not afraid of making a big scene. I, Yan Nanmo, walk upright without fear. If you’ve got the skills, we’ll meet in court." Yan Nanmo replied righteously.

"Mr. Yan, is it really necessary to go this far? If it goes to court, the impact will be terrible..." The other party used a mix of soft and hard tactics, trying to force Yan Nanmo to plead guilty.

"Fine, then we’ll meet in court."

Straightening his collar, Yan Nanmo said nonchalantly.

A cold gleam quickly flashed in Prosecutor Cai’s eyes, "The evidence is conclusive, Yan Nanmo. Will you not confess?"

He placed a transparent folder in front of him, speaking solemnly.

"What? Are you resorting to coercion now? I didn’t know your prosecution office had fallen so low." His gaze landed on the officer’s badge, smiling, "Cai Tianqi, Prosecutor Cai, how much did you take from Dongfang Jian to work so hard as his lapdog?"

Cai Tianqi’s face turned icy, his words full of malice: "I warn you, you’d better confess obediently, or else..."

"Or else what?" Yan Nanmo curved his lips, "You have the audacity to threaten me already—who gave you the courage? Do you really think your master is invincible? If he succeeds, you’d be the first one he’d discard."

He gave a deep look at Cai Tianqi, which made Cai’s heart instinctively clench.

The panic in Cai’s eyes flashed away, and he puffed up his chest, "The evidence is conclusive. It’s not your place to argue here. Guards, take the suspect away, supervise him strictly, and await the verdict after the evidence is submitted to the court."

"Also, strictly prohibit him from contacting outsiders." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Yan Nanmo stood up with a smile. The two guards who entered hesitated to put handcuffs on him, but Yan Nanmo naturally extended his hand, showing he didn’t mind.

Cai Tianqi gave Yan Nanmo a look and waved his hand: "Forget it..."

Just as they exited the interrogation room, a man in black approached. He discreetly exchanged a glance with Yan Nanmo as they brushed past each other.

Life was rather pleasant here, more comfortable than a vacation, except for the lack of freedom. It seemed like a good place for retirement.

The guards or those monitoring him were numerous; not even a fly could enter. Yan Nanmo passed his days reading the news, newspapers, and magazines, eating and sleeping leisurely, showing no signs of awaiting a pending verdict.

Cai Tianqi feared deception, but after a few days of observation, he realized he had overthought it. The Yan Family was almost in an uproar due to Yan Nanmo’s trouble. Initially, they pulled strings and sought favors, but to no avail, so they finally calmed down, while Guang Zhuang Xiyue could hardly count how many trips she made to the prosecution office.

In the past, with Old Master Yan holding things up and Yan Nanmo as a pillar, but now Old Master Yan was critically ill and comatose all day. It’s said the Yan Family is preparing for his funeral, and now with Yan Nanmo in trouble too, reportedly with irrefutable evidence and no chance of a comeback, the outside world is waiting to see the Yan Family’s downfall.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; those who used to cling to the Yan Family are now avoiding them like the plague, fearing to get involved.

Such is the coldness of the world and the indifference of people, the true social norm.

The Yan Family remains engulfed in a tense atmosphere every day.

Dongfang Jian was puzzled; lately, his right eye twitched wildly. There’s a saying: left for wealth, right for misfortune, which led to growing unease in his heart.

"Still no news of the Miss?" Dongfang Jian inquired.

The messenger shook his head: "The Miss hasn’t returned since leaving to deal with Wei Zhao. Ying Tang tried contacting Zong Qing, but even he is missing. However, Crane Hall and Sparrow Hall are actively searching for the Miss’ whereabouts."

"If you can’t find her, don’t bother coming back to me," Dongfang Jian cursed.

Drumming his fingers on the table, he suddenly began to pace, "Something must have happened to Yiyi, otherwise she would have contacted me. Did something happen to Wei Zhao?"

The more Dongfang Jian thought about it, the more he felt it was a possibility, "Find out about Wei Zhao, what happened that day, you must get to the bottom of it..."

"Wei Zhao was always contacted by the Miss. With her absence, we have no way to proceed."

Dongfang Jian grabbed and threw the teapot beside him: "Why do I even keep you around?"

The subordinates bowed their heads, not daring to utter a word.

Wiping his face, Dongfang Jian continued, "Never mind this for now. We must ensure that nothing goes wrong with the matter concerning Yan Nanmo. Is everything settled with the court?"
