  Li Jinnan’s heart skipped a beat. He immediately straightened up and asked, “How did you find out?”


  Qin Shuhua’s heart tightened in response. With some urgency, she asked, “What happened? Why is she in jail all of a sudden? What on earth is going on?”


  Li Jinnan’s head began to throb. He massaged his temples. With his brows furrowed, he replied, “It’s a very long story. How did you find out about it?”


  “Your Second Brother and Qianci sent Dasu to the Capital today. I just called him on the phone, and I heard it from Qianci’s mother.” Qin Shuhua could instinctively tell that the matter wasn’t simple. “How did she get framed and imprison for no reason out of the blue? She looks very decent and demure and has a very quiet demeanor. Please don’t tell me she’s actually a wolf in sheep’s clothing with messy connections.”


  Messy connections like links to the underground mafia, or perhaps she had engaged in some dirty transactions in private. What a scary thought!

  “Mom, stop letting your imagination run wild,” Li Jinnan said. “It’s nothing huge. It’s just tricky. Don’t worry.”


  Qin Shuhua wasn’t exactly worried. The feeling was better described as uneasiness in her heart. Since he was young, Li Jinnan had always been tight-lipped with her. If he was this evasive, it usually meant he was hiding a big problem.

  She was well aware that she wouldn’t be able to pry any information out of Li Jinnan. With her own plans in mind, she nodded her head and replied, “As long as you have everything under control. You may help this girl, but it has to be within your capability. I heard that the Capital is even stricter that Kingstown when it comes to breaking the law. You have to be careful.”


  The phone was in Li Jinnan’s hand. At that moment, a familiar yet unwelcome figure suddenly appeared before his eyes. The sight of this person alone was enough to unleash the anger that he had kept suppressed for a very long period of time.

  “Alright, Mom. I understand. I’m hanging up now,” he said.

  Upon disconnecting the call, Li Jinnan kept the phone in his hand. He watched as Shen Luo’an slowly walked up to him.

  Shen Luo’an’s physical and mental disposition looked horrible. The dark rings around his eyes were evident. Everything about him looked haggard.

  Keeping his eyes on Li Jinnan, Shen Luo’an came closer. As the distance between the two of them lessened, the fury in Li Jinnan boiled over. Glaring at Shen Luo’an, Li Jinnan stalked up to him. Without a second word and with the mobile phone still in his hand, he swung a hard punch right at Shen Luo’an’s face.

  Shen Luo’an was caught unaware, so the punch threw him completely off balance. He staggered backward for a few steps, almost tumbling over.

  Without waiting for Shen Luo’an to steady himself and regain his balance, Li Jinnan threw another punch. His blow was heavy and without an ounce of mercy.

  Shen Luo’an grunted in pain and tried to defend himself. As a scholar with a weak physique, he was no match for Li Jinnan’s strength. The pathetic struggle he put up posed no threat to someone like Li Jinnan at all. He had no choice but to suffer a few more blows before bystanders finally realized the commotion.

  The sound of footsteps coming from all directions could be heard. Li Jinnan looked up. He reached out and grabbed Shen Luo’an by the collar. As he held him up against the wall forcefully, he angrily roared, “How dare you show your face here, you bastard!”


  Shen Luo’an had been beaten into a pulp. His eyes were beginning to turn black and blue. When he heard the question, cold laughter escaped his lips.

  Li Jinnan’s knuckles were stained with blood. The scent of iron permeated the air.

  Shen Luo’an replied, “This is the Capital, why can’t I come back? Moreover, I’m here to turn myself in.”
