"Ye Xiaofan."

"Hm?"

"If one day I were standing in front of you with Shen Zuimo, and you had to choose, who would you pick?"

The gentle breeze stirred the entire night sky. After the rain, the tranquility brought endless peace. At this moment, the hearts of the two people were calm.

Sitting back to back on the rock outside the farmhouse's yard, the sound of insects buzzed restlessly after the rain.

Xiaofan fell silent. If he had to make a choice, he certainly couldn't do it at this moment.

"Thank you..." Liu Siyan softly called out.

"Thank me for what?" Xiaofan asked, puzzled.

"Thank you for the answer you gave me."

"Answer?"

"At least, in your heart, I still have a chance."

Startled, Xiaofan became even more confused.

Actually, Liu Siyan didn't want much. Preserving the present was good enough.

"I have to go. My dad is planning to move the headquarters to the Capital City. So... you'll always remember me, right?"

The starry night sky after the rain was dazzling, intoxicating those who gazed at it. Occasionally, a meteor would streak across, and the darling person behind would shout out excitedly.

The wish once imagined on Phoenix Mountain, to sit on a quiet hillside with the goddess of his heart and watch shooting stars, seemed to have been fulfilled. But Ye Xiaofan was no longer the Ye Xiaofan of back then.

He had questioned himself in his heart, whether he should let go of Shen Zuimo and return to his life. Now it seemed the answer was still no, but he didn't know if this answer would change in the near future.

"Hey, let's go back to sleep."

"Mm."

"You won't do anything weird to me, right?"

"Hard to say, after all, last night I was drunk, and tonight I'm sober."

"Annoying..."

The two of them didn't bring up the matter of He Jun. Liu Siyan didn't want to talk about it, and Xiaofan wouldn't let this guy off easily. Doing such things repeatedly behind people's backs was not something that could just be forgiven and forgotten.

With the kind hospitality of this farming family, the two of them spent a beautiful night here.

The next day was the third day of their three-day, two-night farmhouse trip.

He Jun had arranged for the bus to take the classmates back early. Of course, Xiaofan had called Chen Mengying and Lin Hai to inform them they could take other transportation back.

However, it was impossible for He Jun to cover up this matter.

The bus naturally headed back to the gate of Seventh Middle School as planned. Then everyone got off the bus and headed home.

But as soon as the bus stopped, a few people suddenly ran up from the roadside and grabbed He Jun.

"Hey, who are you? Why are you grabbing me? Hey..."

Amidst the crowd's gasps, He Jun was taken away.

The news quickly reached He Jun's father's ears, and he immediately called the police. But after investigating, he realized his son had been taken to the police station.

At the same time, at a division of H City Police Department.

"Hey, officer, what's with these guys? Why did they bring me here? This is illegal detention, you should arrest them."

Since coming in, He Jun hadn't stopped talking. Meanwhile, the guys who brought him in just sat quietly on the side drinking tea, appearing unhurried.

"Hey, there's an order from above, if there's nothing much, just let Young Master He go," a policeman said immediately after receiving the message.

"Did you hear that, let me go, arrest those guys, they're insane, wasting my time," He Jun shouted as soon as he heard it.

"Can't let go, I want to charge him with attempted **** of a young girl. The methods were heinous."

"Ye, Ye Xiaofan?"

Seeing Ye Xiaofan walk in, He Jun immediately quieted down, realizing that things were about to get bad.

"You guys can leave now, thank you." Xiaofan smiled at the brothers who had brought He Jun to the police station.

"You're welcome, just let us know if you need anything. We're leaving," one of them said.

So this was all arranged by Ye Xiaofan; it seemed he wouldn't let himself off.

This morning, even though Xiaofan knew He Jun was coming back early, he leisurely accompanied Liu Siyan to pick lychees on the mountain. Afterward, Liu Zhenghua personally drove and took the two of them back.

With such an incident, Xiaofan naturally had to inform Liu Siyan's father.

"Sorry, Uncle Liu, I didn't take good care of Siyan," Xiaofan said apologetically in the car.

"What nonsense, thanks to you this girl is safe now. However, the kid named He shouldn't be let off so easily. Xiaofan, Uncle has a favor to ask."

"I've already called someone to wait for him at Seventh Middle School. I believe by now they're already at the police station," Xiaofan said calmly.

"Looks like you were prepared," Liu Zhenghua said. Although he hadn't interacted much with Xiaofan, he noticed that the childishness once evident on this child's face had completely disappeared now. What had he experienced to mature so quickly?

The scene shifts back to the interrogation room at the police division.

For his daughter's reputation, Liu Zhenghua couldn't appear publicly, so he entrusted everything to Xiaofan. This gave Xiaofan enough standing to bring He Jun to justice.

He Jun, being a smart person, not only didn't admit but also falsely accused Xiaofan of illegal detention and using violence against him.

He Jun's father, upon receiving the news, immediately contacted the head of this division, Chen Chang'an. The two were old acquaintances, hoping to settle this matter with some money.

If a little money didn't work, then more money.

It was this phone call that suddenly turned the situation against Xiaofan, and even got Xiaofan taken into the interrogation room for questioning.

Although Xiaofan didn't have much experience, the sudden change didn't make him lose his composure. After all, he had evidence. As long as the police opened a case investigation and sent the evidence to prosecutors, He Jun wouldn't escape in court.

But the police interrogating him didn't ask about He Jun's crimes; instead, they asked if Xiaofan had illegally detained and assaulted He Jun.

"Seriously. How much were you paid? If it weren't for this division being closer, I would've sent He Jun to the criminal investigations bureau," Xiaofan said, casting a glance at the officer interrogating him. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiaofan planned to call Lin Miaoke, thinking that she would handle the matter fairly.

But before Xiaofan could dial the number, the police officer interrogating him suddenly snatched his phone. One of them quietly said, "Turn off the surveillance video."

Another officer approached Xiaofan with handcuffs.

"You're going to cuff me? Then force a confession?" Xiaofan remained calm, but he finally understood one thing. As long as you have money, many things can be turned from black to white and white to black.
