Chapter 479: Did you embezzle public funds?

~7 min read 1,336 words

Even adding An Erge, I fear he wouldn't be able to cover it.

An Yinan sighed, "How could I not want to tell you all what I intend to do with so much money?"

She looked up at the sky, pondered for a long time, and then looked at Yun Bi, "Third Brother, if I say it's to earn money, that might not be entirely accurate; if I say it's to save some people's lives, that's actually just a side effect."

"I just don't want some people's plans to succeed? That doesn't seem to be the whole story either."

"This time, rather than saying these are all my goals, they aren't really goals at all; it's a very contradictory state of mind."

"But I can guarantee that I will not do anything bad! I will not let down Huaxia."

Her eyes were so clear; on this small path at night, the girl in white looked so resolute.

"But I cannot say what I am going to do, though there will be an answer in two years." An Yinan did not know how much Third Brother could believe.

But she had already said everything she could.

She knew this matter was somewhat unbelievable, and she knew that expressing herself so vaguely would lead many people to misunderstand.

They cared about her so much, and cherished her so much!

The two siblings walked in silence for a long time; the small path was about to take a turn.

Yun Bi stopped in his tracks, "Nan Nan, I believe you."

Five words, like notes on a piano, striking the heart one by one.

I believe you—such straightforward words.

In one's life, how many times can one express that?

An Yinan turned back, tilted her head, and looked at Third Brother.

The one who said she didn't need to change, and that he would use his own way to accommodate her.

The words he spoke were always matched by his actions.

"Even if I don't tell you the reason?" An Yinan raised an eyebrow.

Yun Bi, with his expressionless face, smiled, "You are An Yinan!"

Because she was An Yinan, he didn't need any reason; he chose to believe.

Nan Nan smiled, her curved brows and eyes resembling the crescent moon hanging in the sky, carrying the most graceful arc.

"In two years, your sister will definitely earn back your bride price for you," An Yinan said with certainty.

Yun Bi took a step forward, "Good, then in the future, the money for me to take a wife will be entrusted to my sister."

The two looked at each other and smiled; this matter just passed like that.

Even with that enormous sum, even with that vague reason.

It all passed just like that.

When the two returned home, Grandmother hadn't slept yet, but seeing the two enter the house talking and laughing, she was completely relieved.

"You two! Go to sleep early, it's too late; I'm going to sleep too." Grandmother went back to her room herself.

An Yinan and Yun Bi went upstairs one after the other and returned to their respective rooms.

Chen Xun had to stay at the Military these few days, as it seemed there was going to be an exercise; he had originally wanted to make plans to eat with Zhang Qian, but there was no opportunity. An Yinan had been looking at the accounts these past few days and discussed the loan matter with Guo Ge.

"Nan Nan." A gentle voice.

"Second Brother, why are you here?" An Yinan was somewhat surprised to see Yun Qi.

Since returning from Quanshui Village, he had thrown himself into his work; he hadn't seen Xiue for several days, had he?

"Looking for Xiue? She seems to have gone to the shop," An Yinan said.

During the days Chen Xun didn't return, she lived in the Xiao Yuan with her sisters; they all had their own rooms anyway, and they had formed a habit of keeping each other company.

"I'm looking for you." Yun Qi walked straight into the room, carrying a leather suitcase in his hand.

An Yinan looked at his suitcase and frowned; he wouldn't be...

Would Second Aunt beat Second Brother to death?

No, she had to advise him a little later; she couldn't let Second Brother court disaster.

Although Xiue had no family left, she couldn't let Second Brother hurt Xiue.

The two weren't even married yet!!!

Under Nan Nan's strange gaze, Yun Qi sat calmly in the living room.

"This is for you." He pushed the suitcase in his hand directly in front of Nan Nan.

An Yinan pointed at herself, "For me?"

She had just been thinking about how to kick Second Brother out, but this suitcase was actually for her?

She didn't usually leave anything behind when she went back to the Yun Family, so there was no need to specially bring a suitcase over, right?

Translation materials that Second Aunt asked him to bring?

That shouldn't be it either!

Now she rarely did document translation; except for mechanical documents, nothing else required her to translate.

People had been entering the Compilation Bureau from the university's foreign language department one after another; the Compilation Bureau was no longer as desolate as before, and it was lively every day with many new faces.

However, in the most hidden room of the Compilation Bureau, there were always files for three people.

Only the successive directors knew how to open it.

"What is it?" She was puzzled, but still wanted to ask first.

Yun Qi smiled, "Could your Second Brother ever cheat you? Open it and see for yourself."

An Yinan was half-believing and half-doubting; although Second Brother didn't have any bad quirks, looking at such a large black suitcase, she was still a bit hesitant.

She turned the opening toward herself and pressed the unlock button; just as she opened a crack, she saw what was inside.

"This..." An Yinan closed the lid.

"What mistake did you make? Where is this money from? Did you embezzle public funds?" An Yinan widened her eyes and looked at Yun Qi with a serious face.

Given An Erge's ability and family assets, she guaranteed he would not have this much money.

If An Erge did not have it, yet brought it out now, it must be through illegal channels.

How could this be allowed?

"An Erge, while no one has discovered it yet, hurry and return it!" She looked serious.

Yun Qi pointed a finger at himself, "Does your An Erge look like such a stupid person?"

Stupid?

Yun Qi was skilled at calculations; naturally, he would not be a stupid person.

But the one using the money was herself.

She could not guarantee that!

"An Erge!" An Yinan looked at him.

In that gaze, the intent to probe was too strong; it was hard to ignore.

Just at this moment, a tall figure pushed the door open and entered.

"An Erge is here." Chen Xun parked his bicycle to the side, then walked into the living room and sat down next to An Yinan.

He felt the atmosphere seemed a bit off?

He tugged at Nan Nan's hand, wanting to know what was going on.

He was clear about what kind of temperament his wife had.

She was not careless about major matters and did not fuss over minor ones; if there was anyone who was the most carefree, it was her.

"Look." An Yinan opened the suitcase; the very top was filled with cash.

"An Erge brought it," she said.

Yun Qi looked at her little expression and knew she was also concerned about him.

"Nan Nan, An Erge will not do anything illegal or against discipline; even if anyone else could tolerate me, the two from the Yun Family would not."

"I think you wouldn't either."

Nan Nan's temper was just too much like the Yun Family's.

Regarding these matters, she could not tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes.
