Jiang Nan Fang bought a plane ticket to Shang Cheng directly.
After a bumpy journey, the two landed in Shang Cheng. Jiang Nan Fang asked the old man to go to the hotel to rest first.
"He has several residences in Shang Cheng, and I'm not sure which one it is."
"You go rest first. I'll let you know when I find him."
The old man refused.
"With A Jue's current situation, you still want me to rest? Do you think I can rest easy?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up. I'll go with you."
Jiang Nan Fang had no choice but to take a taxi with the old man to the villa they had visited before.
The butler gave her the same perfunctory reply.
"The master hasn't returned, and I don't know where he's gone."
"Can you help me call him? Tell him I have an urgent matter to discuss."
"I'm sorry, I can't. The master hasn't given me the right to disturb him, and no one will answer if I call."
Jiang Nan Fang was getting annoyed.
"Aren't you afraid of delaying Mr. Ke's important matters and him holding you accountable when he returns?"
The butler remained silent with a cold face, unyielding.
Jiang Nan Fang had to take out her phone, ready to search for all high-end private hospitals in Shang Cheng and hack into their systems.
She didn't believe she couldn't find Ke Teng's whereabouts.
However, the old man raised his hand to stop her.
"No need to trouble yourself. Just report it directly."
"?"
"Just say I was beaten by Ke Jing Yu, and I've fainted at his doorstep. Tell them to come and handle it."
The old man still had a way.
This was much more efficient than searching house by house.
In critical moments, extraordinary measures must be taken.
Jiang Nan Fang immediately put it into action.
Seeing them openly lying, the butler couldn't help but get angry.
"How can you people be like this? If you can't find someone, you resort to being hooligans and lying through your teeth?"
"We have surveillance at our doorstep. Don't think you'll get away with it just because the police arrive."
After saying that, he closed the door and went back inside.
Ten minutes later, staff members arrived by car.
The old man sat on the ground at the villa entrance.
When the staff asked what happened, Jiang Nan Fang lied that Ke Jing Yu had a conflict with them and ran away after the assault.
The police rang the doorbell to call someone out, and the butler, out of necessity, came out again.
However, he kept shouting as he walked.
"I've already retrieved the surveillance video. They're just spouting nonsense. Don't believe them, come and see for yourselves. Our master hasn't even left the house today!"
So he's at home now? Just hiding and not wanting to be seen?
Seeing the butler let slip, Jiang Nan Fang couldn't wait any longer.
Without a second word, she pushed the butler aside and dashed inside.
The butler stumbled from being pushed but regained his footing before saying to the staff.
"You should arrest them. Who are these robbers? Didn't you see? First, they falsely accused someone, and now they're trespassing. Hurry up and arrest them!"
Jiang Nan Fang rushed into the hall.
As she ran, she shouted, "Mr. Ke, Mr. Ke! I know you're home. I'm Jiang Nan Fang. I have something to tell you. Please come out!"
"Mr. Ke, if you don't come out to see me for a second, I'll stay here for a second! It won't take long. Please come out!"
The butler also ran in and directed the maids to pull her out.
The old man and the staff followed closely.
The room immediately became noisy.
Finally, Ke Jing Yu appeared at the turn of the second-floor staircase, his brows furrowed and his expression stern.
"Be quiet. Who allowed you to come to my house and make such a racket?"
He was wearing a smoke-gray silk loungewear, his face pale and bloodless.
But even so, his aura was still serious and powerful.
Hearing his voice, Jiang Nan Fang turned her head.
Then tears instantly welled up.
She pushed away the maids who were desperately holding her, rushed to the front of the stairs, and knelt down with a thud.
"Everything that has escalated to this point is my fault. If you want to hit or scold me, even if you want me to pay with my life for Ke Teng, I'll accept it! Can you let Zhan Bei Jue go?"
"He is innocent. He doesn't know Ke Teng at all. Ke Teng's incident has nothing to do with him! You shouldn't be looking for him!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Jiang Nan Fang, I made myself clear to you in Nan Cheng."
"Since you've abandoned the darkness and embraced the light, we are now estranged, and we will never interact again. What do you mean by letting Zhan Bei Jue go? What did I do to him?"
With staff members standing behind him, how could Ke Jing Yu admit what he had done in front of them?
Jiang Nan Fang realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly shook her head and apologized.
"Mr. Ke, you didn't do anything to him. It's my clumsy tongue, I can't speak properly. I'm sorry!"
"I came today to apologize to you again. It was my fault regarding Ke Teng's matter..."
Seeing her agitated and incoherent, Ke Jing Yu impatiently interrupted.
"Nonsense. You were always very steady and sensible before. How did you become like this after falling in love?"
"A Teng liking you was in the past. Since you've chosen to let go, I won't mention it again. So from now on, please don't mention it either."
"For you, this might be a glorious history. But for the Ke family, it is a disgrace."
"Don't try to use this matter to connect with me again, and I will never forgive you."
"Before, because A Teng liked you, out of respect and care for my son, I didn't do anything to you. But that won't be the case in the future."
"Don't test my bottom line. If you want to die a miserable death, or spend a lifetime inside, I can fulfill that wish at any time."
Jiang Nan Fang's heart tightened as he scolded her. She opened her mouth to explain, but the old man walked over slowly, leaning on his cane.
One above, one below, both with expressionless faces, they looked at each other.
After a few seconds, the host, Ke Jing Yu, spoke first.
"Mr. Zhan, for you to suddenly grace my humble abode, you're not here to beg for your grandson, are you?"
"You haven't come out of seclusion for many years, so you must not be that bored. What do you want? Speak directly."
The old man looked at him quietly. After he finished speaking, he suddenly released his cane, bent over, and nodded at him.
"Nephew, from a generational perspective, I call you nephew. Mr. Ke should not mind, right?"
"I've heard a little about the recent matters between my unfilial grandson and your son. Although this is not the main reason for my visit today, I still want to apologize to you on his behalf."
"The Zhan family has failed in its upbringing, causing you to be amused. If there's ever anything the Zhan family can help with, please let me know."
After all, the old man knew how to speak.
Ke Jing Yu felt a lot more respected.
It's just a pity that he didn't need the Zhan family's help, so his attitude wouldn't change just because of the old man's deference.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"I'm here today to ask for the truth from you, nephew. How much do you know about what happened in Switzerland?"
"I knew you were here for this."
Ke Jing Yu remained expressionless.
"I don't know a single thing. I, Ke, conduct myself with integrity. In this life, I despise dealing with people using underhanded tactics the most."
"I can only offer you this one piece of advice: the two of you may leave."
