Meanwhile, at the Xiao family residence, Xiao Jin'er was sitting opposite a middle-aged man.

"How did the talk with Bai Zifeng go?" the middle-aged man asked.

Xiao Jin'er's expression was cold, and her eyes were indifferent as she said, "No different from those young masters, they can't walk past women!"

The middle-aged man sighed, "Jin'er, I'm sorry you had to go through this, but you know our lineage's situation. If we don't get support, we won't even have the confidence to speak up!"

"The Bai family is a top-tier wealthy family, and the conditions they've offered are tempting enough that I have no reason to refuse!"

Daughters are used for marriage alliances to solidify one's position.

Since his daughter was so beautiful, he could naturally gain more benefits.

"If you're not satisfied with your relationship in the future, you can get a divorce; it won't stop you from finding someone else!"

Xiao Jin'er raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm appearing at the corner of her mouth.

It turns out that his father not only wanted to sell him once, but also twice. But that's the nature of a businessman: maximizing profits!

However, the benefits provided by the Bai family this time are truly sufficient.

After this marriage alliance with the Bai family, not only will the Xiao family be able to smoothly enter the mainland market, but they will also gain access to a mature market.

Those benefits are enough for his faction to gain even more influence.

Xiao Jin'er came out of the room and went out the door.

She doesn't live here; this is an old house. She has her own villa.

Besides, I have friends to entertain today, so I can't stay at the old house.

When she got back to her place, it was already late when she entered the living room.

The living room lights were on, and there sat a woman who looked dashing and spirited.

"Wakano, have you been waiting long?"

"It doesn't matter, but since you went back to Gangcheng, you haven't come to Jiangcheng to see me in a long time. I'm always the one coming to see you!"

Xiao Jin'er said with a wry smile, "You know how difficult it is for me to go out these days!"

Yin Ruonan replied, "I know, you wealthy families have so many rules. Going out like this will involve too many issues. But who told you to be so beautiful?"

Xiao Jin'er stretched: "Daughters of wealthy families sometimes really do have no choice in their lives! I'm not a direct descendant, not an heir, so I can only be a tool for political marriage!"

Yin Ruonan said, "I've also investigated Bai Zifeng's matter. Here's what I found!"

Yin Ruonan placed a document on the coffee table.

Xiao Jin'er took it and examined it carefully.

A mocking smile then appeared on his lips. "A typical petty person!"

Yin Ruonan said, "He's definitely not a good person. I heard he was quite sentimental when we were abroad!"

A hint of disgust flashed in Xiao Jin'er's eyes, then she gave a wry smile, "This is my husband from now on!"

Yin Ruonan: "Are you really willing to accept this?"

"What can I do even if I'm unwilling? Did I have a choice?"

Yin Ruonan shrugged and dropped the topic.

Xiao Jin'er suddenly asked, "You've come to Hong Kong on a mission this time?"

Yin Ruonan said, "You can't say that!"

Xiao Jin'er said, "That person from the Zhao family did call me and told me to keep an eye on someone!"

"The Zhao family, Zhao Wan'er?"

"Hehe, you two should be familiar with each other, right?"

"Hmph, what does that crazy woman want you to do?"

"He told me to keep an eye out for a guy named Jiang Jinhuan, and I actually met him today. But he said his name isn't Jiang Jinhuan, it's Chen Heng!"

Yin Ruonan suddenly stood up and looked at Xiao Jin'er: "You saw him?"

Xiao Jin'er said, "It should be him. That person looks a lot like the photo Wan'er sent, no, he even looks more imposing than in the photo!"

"Power and prestige?"

"Indeed, this person's gaze carries a subtle sense of pressure; when you look into his eyes, you always feel like he can see right through you!"

Yin Ruonan's expression was grave. "Jin'er, from now on, you should have less contact with him, especially with the people around him!"

Seeing Yin Ruonan's solemn and serious expression, Xiao Jin'er narrowed her eyes. "Who said that the woman next to him named Sister Yao has a problem?"

"Yes, and there's still a big problem. Remember my words, keep your distance from this woman!"

Xiao Jin'er said, "Fine, fine, anyway, I don't like that woman either. She smells like a vixen!"

Yin Ruonan stood up and took a few steps. "Actually, we can't completely cut off contact. You could invite her to a banquet or something!"

Xiao Jin'er's eyes flickered: "You're after that Jiang Jin Huan?"

Yin Ruonan said, "Jin'er, you're already so beautiful, don't be too smart! Are you trying to make life impossible for us ordinary people?"

Xiao Jin'er said, "Come on, you want me to cover for you? Fine, but you'll have to help me out too?"

"What?"

"Gather evidence of Bai Zifeng's crimes, and then send him to jail for a few days!"

Yin Ruonan looked at Xiao Jin'er and said, "Jin'er, is this your method for avoiding an arranged marriage?"

"That's right, no matter what the Xiao family is like, they would never let me marry someone with a tainted reputation!"

Yin Ruonan said, "Alright, but I won't abuse my power. I'll just follow the proper procedures. If he really does something wrong, I certainly won't be lenient!"

Xiao Jin'er said, "Okay!"

"You seem very confident!"

"Heh, when people have money but can't control their desires, they're practically standing on the edge of a precipice. Wealthy families are very particular about rules, but do you think it's really feudal? It's just using rules to shackle them."

Once this shackle is broken, going to jail won't be far off! Clearly, Bai Zifeng is the kind of person who's already jumped the gun; an investigation will confirm it!

Yin Ruonan remained silent. If a person is very rich, then he will disregard the law.

Those who have no respect for the law, a fundamental moral principle, are no different from animals in their actions.

Therefore, even gangsters follow the rules.

It's all about loyalty!

Why? It's because I'm afraid these people have lost their humanity.

Yin Ruonan nodded and said, "Okay, as long as he commits a crime, I'll dare to arrest him!"

……

Yin Ruonan thought it would be some time before Jiang Jinhuan contacted her.

But to her surprise, she received a message from Jiang Jinhuan the very next day.

The message was that she should find a way to tell him about Bai Zifeng.

Yin Ruonan was very confused when she saw the message.

"If he was sent undercover, why did he focus his attention on Bai Zifeng?"

"No, I have to find out the truth. This guy is too unpredictable!"

Jiang Jin Huan received the news quickly.

Xiao Jin'er is attending a seminar today and tomorrow.

Bai Zifeng will attend the event with Xiao Jin'er.

Upon receiving the news, Jiang Jinhuan immediately went to find Sister Yao.

In the office, upon seeing Jiang Jinhuan enter, Sister Yao's attitude was noticeably colder today.

"What's up?" Sister Yao asked without looking up from the documents in front of her.

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes. It seemed that his refusal yesterday had displeased this woman.

But he doesn't regret doing it.

What might be a sweet treat for others is poison for him.
