After Meng Qian was taken away, it immediately caused a heated discussion. Unexpectedly, just after a meal, such shocking news broke out.

The genius painter praised by the world. Who could think about the dirty deal behind the enviable so-called winner of life?

[As early as Meng Qian’s rise to fame, I was curious about how these kinds of kindergarten graffiti paintings were sold at high prices of hundreds of thousands. I don’t know how Jiang Yang had the face and dared to give the painting to Huo Yun. Huo Yun gave back his painting and smacked his face, it was really cool.]

[The news about Meng Qian being a genius in the past two years is also estimated to be operated by Fang Yan, right? Dared to call him a genius even if he painted like this! Meng Qian didn’t even blush at all when he was interviewed! He was doing such big things.]

[Meng Qian is a blasphemy to art. A stinky villain as disgusting as a bed bug.]

When the whole network began to diss Meng Qian, the words Huo Yun topped the hot search.

Huo Yun was recognized as a powerful painter at home and abroad. Her style was beautiful and no one could replicate it so far. Even after four years of silence, her status in the circle was still unshakable. In addition, her background was even more amazing, the eldest miss of the Huo family, Huo Qing’s favorite sister. By comparison, Meng Qian was like an ant in front of Huo Yun, whether it was artistic accomplishment or social identity.

Huo Yun had stopped updating her accounts on all social platforms since four years ago, but after Meng Qian was exposed to the money laundering scandal, Huo Yun suddenly spoke.

“People play with art, they have to pay a price. @painterMengQian Don’t you agree?”

{T/N : The chinese text was @ 画 孟孟谦. 画 is huà which means to draw/ picture/ painting roughly translating to painter. 孟孟 is mèng mèng where meng could most approximately be the surname Meng as in Meng Qian’s name. 谦 is qiān which means modest but here possibly refers to Qian as in Meng Qian’s name since Meng Qian is not at all modest >_<. So the whole phrase can roughly be translated to painterMengQian as in Meng Qian’s ID for whatever platform this whole dissing is taking place on.

PS: it’s on Weibo. Mentioned in the next para.}

Huo Yun previously returned Meng Qian’s painting, and now openly judged this case on Weibo, stunning countless people who ate melons. Meng Qian deserved to be called famous, for Huo Yun, who had not posted anything since four years, named and criticized him!

The people who ate melons could only watch the excitement, but people in the upper circles of Yue City could see the clues from Huo Yun’s words.

Jiang Yang was able to get Huo Qing’s support because he used Meng Qian’s painting to please Huo Yun. Now Huo Yun not only returned the painting, but also condemned Meng Qian’s behavior on a public platform. So divestment… that good show was really going to happen.

In the interrogation room, Fang Yan was handcuffed to the table and was stunned. He was in a daze. He had long lost his confidence which he had when he first entered the police station. He had been imprisoned in the police station for five days now. During this period, he was tortured. Not only did he not have a bite to eat, they didn’t even let him sleep. He completely lost the concept of time, and he was about to be driven crazy.

The police just kept him here. No one came to interrogate him except for a simple transcript on the first day. At most every other day, someone came in and gave him a glass of water, or slapped him awake.

At first, Fang Yan was still able to grind his teeth and brace his heart. However, as time went on, Fang Yan gradually became mentally depressed. He couldn’t see anyone except the police, and he didn’t know the slightest news from the outside world, which made him afraid.

Finally on the seventh day, he saw his lawyer.

Fang Yan wiped his face fiercely, cheered himself up, gritted his teeth and said angrily: “When can I go out? Shit, wait until I get out and take care of this police station!”

“The gallery and the nightclubs have been blocked.” The young lawyer sat down and said. Fang Yan was stunned and the fierce expression on his face stiffened. The lawyer sighed and continued: “The people under you are being interrogated. The killer also failed to run. Uncle Yan, it’s all over.”

“Fart!” Fang Yan pulled at his handcuffs and slammed his hands on the table. “Impossible!”

“Even Meng Qian was arrested.” The lawyer looked at Fang Yan’s expression changing slowly from shock to panic, and whispered: “Uncle Yan, don’t hold on.”

Fang Yan clenched his fists, trembling all over his body, “Where is Jiang Yang? Meng Qian was arrested, Jiang Yang just looked at all of it happen and didn’t do anything?”

“Jiang Yang?” The lawyer sneered: “Uncle Yan, do you know who is behind this matter? It is Secretary Li, where is Jiang Yang gonna get the courage to work against the secretary?”

{T/N : secretary here refers to either of the following – head of a (government etc) department; section chief; secretary of state; or minister. So, the secretary Li mentioned here is at a position high enough to terrorize Fang Yan.}

Fang Yan slowly let go of his clenched fists, his eyes full of disbelief, and his face paled. How could he think that he would provoke such a big man? How was this possible?! How was it possible?!

“The money laundering incident at the gallery has been found out, and the police is still investigating you bribing the mayor of Yue City. This incident has already become very serious. The provincial government should soon send an investigation team to thoroughly investigate.” The lawyer said.

“How is it possible…?!” Fang Yan broke out in cold sweat in an instant, and sat on the chair with wide eyes.

“In fact, none of this was aimed at you. You were implicated. You shouldn’t have helped Meng Qian deal with Jiang He since the beginning.” The lawyer explained to him regretfully. “It was Jiang Zhaolin’s Stepson, Yan Su. A few years ago, Secretary Li’s only son was shot in the head while serving in an overseas peacekeeping force. It was Yan Su who rescued him. Yan Su has been dealing with Jiang Yang since returning to China. Everything until now is his doing. He wants revenge against the Jiang Family. Secretary Li is just one of his guns. You put yourself between Yan Su and Jiang Yang. Who do you think will die if not you?”

“How the fuck would I know that that doctor couldn’t be messed with?!” Fang Yan stood up with his lips shivering and kicked the chair, his whole body trembling like chaff.

“Uncle Yan, didn’t you listen to me? This thing is not aimed at you. Yan Su is going to deal with the Jiang family. Jiang He is Meng Qian’s kill, he just used your hands. After Meng Qian and Jiang Yang’s engagement, haven’t you revised the contract? Meng Qian is the one who reaps the most benefits. As for bribing the mayor, a company as big as Jiang Yang’s is there….”

{T/N: contract as in for the Blackpool Gallery that Meng Qian was signed to and Fang Yan used for money laundering. So, Fang Yan has to act as the accomplice rather than the commander. I guess you all understood without me telling but I just wanted to clarify since it took me quite some time to understand. 😋}

The lawyer talked with Fang Yan for two hours before leaving the police station. When he left, Fang Yan, who had already collapsed earlier, called the police in a hurry to confess his crime.

After eating, Nie Jia was taking a break with Huo Qing under the shade in the courtyard, accompanying him(Huo Qing) by seemingly sleeping on his shoulder and whispering.

Suddenly, Nie Jia raised his eyebrows and smiled towards Huo Yun who was accompanying her son to tease the dog not far away from them. “Huo Yun, the TV series you have been watching has been updated again.”

Huo Yun took out her mobile phone and heard that the case had made new progress in the last few seconds.

Meng Qian not only participated in the illegal money laundering, but was also suspected of bribing the mayor. This made people confused. Jiang’s group was previously forced by Yan Su to lose its power. Although Jiang Yang was funded by Huo Qing, and he also got the Pacific Cable project, who knew if he got the contract for the project because of bribing the mayor in secret.
