“Heart of wolf! Crossing the river and burning the bridge. Just like his father.” Anna picked up the check and told the cook to cut the ingredients. When she walked back to the hall with Nie Jia, she looked upstairs and asked in a low voice: “You have a plan? What is it? Or should mother find him to negotiate?”

{T/N : heart of wolf – The phrase is: “狼心狗肺(lángxīngǒufèi) which translates to the heart of wolf and lungs of dog. Its meaning is derived from the characters that it uses: 狼心狗肺 (Lángxīngǒufèi) meaning ~ cruel and unscrupulous; brutal and cold-blooded; ungrateful and heartless.

Cross the river and burn the bridge – means to abandon one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal.}

“You don’t need to go. Jiang Yang is willing to keep the valuable things.” Nie Jia dismissed it. “Mom, I’ll go back to the room first. Call me when the meal is ready.”

Anna answered with him a loving gaze, watching him return to his room.

After returning to the room, Nie Jia called Huo Qing and told him that he would stay for dinner and go back later.

“Okay, I’ll pick you up at night.” Huo Qing’s low voice carried a gentle smile, and he paused: “Jiang Yang didn’t give you the shares?”

“You guessed it?” Nie Jia lay lazily on the bed and turned on the computer. He tapped the screen twice with his fingertips and immediately pulled out the city map. He smiled and talked with Huo Qing while sending a landmark location and audio anonymously to the Interpol Team.

“Now in this situation, he dare not give you the shares because you did not sign the contract, so he turned his face and did not recognize his promise. You can not even sue him.” Huo Qing said.

“Jiang Yang told me the same thing. Are all you businessmen like this?” Nie Jia smiled slightly.

After sending out the documents, he removed his traces, turned off the computer and tossed it aside, lying on the bed and talking with Huo Qing on the phone.

Nie Jia did not allow Huo Qing to intervene in his own affairs. This time it was about Jiang Yang but Huo Qing did not take the initiative to ask questions. His lover was very smart, and besides, he was very overbearing to outsiders. And he(Huo Qing) followed him(Nie Jia).

Jiang Yang did not come down during dinner. Nie Jia and Anna were having dinner together in the kitchen. They chatted about Qin Yiran shopping with her during the day. Anna and Qin Yiran met Jiang Zhaolin’s mistress in the mall in which she was a supervisor.

“That woman knew me.” Anna gave Nie Jiasheng a bowl of soup and put it on his hands. At this time, she mentioned the matter of being betrayed by her husband. Instead of the initial anger and sorrow, she looked calm and peaceful. “That Xie Ya, she’s wonderful. She wasn’t afraid to offend a big client today. She stood there and pointed at sāng and cursed huái for more than half an hour. She was so arrogant that she thought she could take off the shelf the place of the main wife.”

{T/N: sāng – mulberry tree. huái – locust tree. The phrase translates into ~ to point at the mulberry tree and curse the locust tree. It means – to scold someone indirectly or to make oblique accusations.

Take off the shelf – means something which is available easily.}

Nie Jia immediately froze: “You let that Xie Ya bully you?”

“No, I was too lazy to take care of her, so I pretended not to know, and later guessed and scolded her.” Anna smiled disdainfully. “I originally thought, was this woman cheated by Jiang Zhaolin? Even if she was, there is no need to have a child for money. After all, which woman is willing to let her child be taunted by others saying that it is a bastard child? Today, I knew only at a glance, why people vie for money and why she wants to drive me away to support herself.”

{T/N : The mtl gave me third-born. The meaning is pretty clear. It’s referring to a child born by the third party/ the other woman/ the mistress/ the homebreaker etc. So in short, a bastard or illegitimate child.}

“You think people are too good.” Nie Jia looked sullen, with a little bit of sulking in his tone. Xie Ya, he hadn’t taken the mother and son seriously, but he didn’t expect that woman to be bold enough to dare step on his mother’s face.

Anna waved her hands and smiled: “She wants to be Mrs. Jiang, let her dream.”

“She can do whatever she wants.” Nie Jia said indifferently.

The voice had just dropped, and there was a bang outside, which shocked Anna.

“What’s going on?” Anna asked in a loud voice.

The nanny came in from the outside and said, “Master is going out.”

“Why did Jiang Yang go out this evening?” Anna asked subconsciously.

The nanny shook her head and said: “Master answered the phone and went out without saying anything. He left in a hurry and didn’t even take his coat.”

“Don’t worry about him.” Nie Jia said.

Anna let the nanny go out and asked him in a low voice: “Do you know what Jiang Yang did?”

“Someone was caught, he must be worried. You don’t have to be nervous, it’s got nothing to do with me.” Nie Jia set himself apart so as to not let Anna worry.

When Yan Yu died, she learnt that the criminal police had found her son. She was so uneasy that she hadn’t slept all night. She was afraid that the police might have got something wrong and wrongfully got her son involved.

In the evening, Huo Qing came to pick him up and greeted Anna before leaving with Nie Jia.

As a result, in just half an hour of their return trip, news that shocked the whole Yue City broke out on the Internet.

Fang Yan was caught.

Fang Yan was the leader of the underground gangs of Yue City. In simple terms, he was a gangster with a very wide range of power. It could be said that the entire Yue City was his site, and he was also the key target of the Yue City police. For the murder, just as the police had suspected Fang Yan, someone had already pleaded guilty for his sake. Due to the lack of evidence and his men acting as scapegoats, Fang Yan has escaped the sanctions of the law and had never even entered the detention center.

Although it was well-known that Fang Yan is unclean, many people were willing to cover for him. His impunity had long aroused the resentment of local citizens. Today, Fang Yan was detained by the police from the clubhouse and brought handcuffed to the police car. This immediately caused a hot discussion in the city.

The masses speculated whether the police had enough evidence to openly handcuff Fang Yan. Could the tumor, Fang Yan be completely removed this time?

In the interrogation room, a middle-aged man in a black coat was calmly sitting, handcuffed to the table. He looked around the small and strange environment around him. There was no tension on his face, just a provocative smile he passed towards the mirror.

“Comrade police, if you want to accuse me of killing, you have to, at least tell me who I killed.” The captain of the Interpol came in and Fang Yan raised his hands innocently.

“We don’t know who you killed.” Said the little policeman who followed in.

Fang Yan chuckled and leaned back in his chair, looking at the policeman with devilishly, “Are you new here? How is your mother?”

“But we will know it soon.” The little policeman sat down at the table and said with a smile: “After all, the victim was poured into the cement wall. Our forensic doctors have to spend some effort to remove the cement and determine the identity of the victim.”

As soon as the word cement came out, the free-spirited expression on Fang Yan’s face suddenly dissipated. He looked serious, and a fleeting panic flashed in his eyes. Then he quickly calmed down and said coldly: “I want to see my lawyer.”

“Of course, this is your right.” The policeman smiled with a sharp gaze.

In the evening, Fang Yan was handcuffed by the police. Just when the masses wondered what crime Fang Yan had committed this time, the following morning, the forensic officer sent a message to the police. He had finally cleaned off the cement from the body which was found stuck in the wall at a construction site. It was Jiang He, the cousin of Jiang Yang, the chairman of Jiang’s Group.
