Chapter 631: Chapter 631

Yang Fan sneered dismissively, "That thing is definitely fake, I have no financial dealings with him."

"Yes, we also know that it is forged, but the signature and fingerprints on the IOU are yours." Xiang Xue Ting said, "If you go to court, that thing is very likely to saddle you with a debt of a million."

"On that IOU, you left two fingerprints. I compared them to the database; they are indeed yours!"

Yang Fan’s anger surged, "The tactics nowadays are really complex."

"I have some suspicions, but now it’s not convenient to say them out loud." Xiang Xue Ting whispered over the phone, "However, just these things alone won’t be enough to exonerate Lu Qiuyang. They just cut off his connection with that person, stopping the problem with Lu Qiuyang."

"That is to say, right now Lu Qiuyang is still guilty of hiring a murderer and killing for money, he’s still facing the death penalty. Also, the data in Yao Wei’s phone has been wiped clean, meaning the original versions of the things you sent me are gone."

"I’m not sure if the other party knows about Yao Wei’s diary. Both of us have it now, but Fanzi, you are the most critical person right now. I dare not move carelessly for the time being. I need to confirm who is truly safe, who has no ties to Chen Zhong."

Yang Fan understood what Xiang Xue Ting meant.

Yao Wei had been protected, but just one day later, he was already dead, and all the data in his phone had been wiped clean. This was not something that just anyone could do.

"Can we find someone from outside?" Yang Fan asked, "Go up the chain, or somewhere else."

"I’m considering it. I also need to check out these people a little and confirm their details," Xiang Xue Ting said, "Chen Zhong has been around these parts for so many years, his connections are deeply entrenched, going higher up is not a very secure move."

"I understand what you mean, if we really can’t find someone reliable, then we wait a little longer." Yang Fan said, "I communicated with Chen Zhong’s legal wife today, and he is supposed to do something within these next few days."

"Hm? It sounds like you two have quite a relationship?" Xiang Xue Ting suddenly asked, "You didn’t sleep with that woman, right? Let me think—Chen Zhong’s legal wife, she’s not simple. You can just call her up, and she even agrees to help you, so you two either slept together, or are about to."

Yang Fan: ...

He replied helplessly: "Why can’t it be that the two of us just have a bit of acquaintance?"

"I don’t believe in pure friendship between men and women!" Xiang Xue Ting declared.

Yang Fan paused for a moment, "No, why can’t our relationship be based on business?"

"Your business is too small to warrant someone like her remembering you especially," Xiang Xue Ting bluntly said, "You can consider it from another perspective. Brother Fanzi, would you remember a peddler’s phone number just because you want to buy some goods?"

"Damn, that actually makes some sense." Yang Fan was stunned.

With a hint of pride, Xiang Xue Ting chuckled softly, "Brother Fanzi, I’m a professional, you know. My expertise is in using clues to discern the logical relationships within."

Yang Fan: ...

He didn’t know what to say anymore.

He was genuinely exhausted now.

The past couple of days had been disastrously hectic.

He had barely dealt with Bai Mengzhu, and now Xiang Xue Ting was starting with him.

This woman, for the sake of this matter, she wouldn’t even talk about proper business.

Yang Fan didn’t feel like talking for the moment, silently waiting for fate’s judgment.

However, Xiang Xue Ting didn’t mind, instead she said cheerfully, "Brother Fanzi, you should have disclosed such a powerful ally to me earlier, it caused me to worry so much my hair has nearly fallen out."

"Now that Chen Zhong’s legal wife is willing to help, the odds of winning between us and Chen Zhong are close to seventy-thirty in our favor. We have a thirty percent chance of winning. If I can find another reliable person, our odds might even go fifty-fifty."

Yang Fan was immediately astounded, "You’re not... angry?"

"Why would I be angry? We had already agreed on this before, didn’t we? Whether you have two or four or five, what’s the difference? It’s all the same anyway. What I care about is your attitude towards me," Xiang Xue Ting said.

"At least right now, I think it’s okay, so I don’t mind your other affairs. I assumed from the beginning that you had multiple women, and I was just one of them in our relationship. So, don’t worry about my state of mind, I’m very stable."

Yang Fan took a deep breath of relief.

He suddenly felt a sense of revival, like someone who had just been dug out from being buried alive.

The feeling of being able to breathe deeply was very refreshing.

The relationship between him and Xiang Xue Ting had indeed been quite clear from the beginning.

But as for what exactly was said, Yang Fan couldn’t quite remember.

And if he couldn’t remember clearly, that inevitably led to unease.

"Brother Fanzi, let’s set aside this matter and continue discussing the previous topic," Xiang Xue Ting said, "Right now we need to confirm if what Chen Zhong’s legal wife told you is true, or if she’s just faking it, just pacifying us?"

"It’s true, I’m certain of it. Even if we remove our relationship from the equation, she holds deep resentment and disdain for Chen Zhong himself; the two have always been on opposing sides," Yang Fan said confidently.

On this point, Yang Fan was sure.

"Then that’s good. Keep me updated about her actions," Xiang Xue Ting said, "I had almost no hope before, Chen Zhong’s reactions were too quick, and with our limited influence, it seemed hardly likely we could overcome his influence. But hearing this new development, I suddenly feel like we have a chance at victory, and a significant one at that."

"Now we just need Chen Zhong’s legal wife to be a capable person, not just doing things of no practical use, simply to vent her anger. Only then do we have an opportunity."

"She should be counted as a capable figure," Yang Fan reflected and then added.

"Brother Fanzi, you mustn’t be too biased in this situation; we should still remain rational," Xiang Xue Ting reminded him.

Yang Fan gave a wry smile, "Don’t worry, I won’t get confused over these matters."

"That’s good then, for now, let’s play it by ear," Xiang Xue Ting suggested.

Finally, she added cautiously, "Brother Fanzi, we will definitely bring such an evil criminal to justice. Don’t let Yao Wei’s death cause you to doubt certain things. Chen Zhong doesn’t have enough clout in Xin’an to do whatever he pleases. Don’t act recklessly."

Perhaps worried that Yang Fan would be upset, Xiang Xue Ting spoke with exceptional tenderness, almost as if she was coaxing a child.
