Chapter 20: Big Brother's Heartache for Little Sister

"You can't go to the police. You can't go." Wan Wan held Nan Qiao's hand tightly, not letting her go.

It had been a few days since that incident. Wan Wan thought that everything was in the past and no one would investigate anymore, but who knew that she would still be investigated? She was even investigated by Nan Qiao herself.

"It's fine if you don't want me to call the police. Tell me the entire story. I know that this matter is mainly because Nan Zhi wants to harm me and it has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me. The only person I want to take revenge on is Nan Zhi. But if you don't tell me, I can only go to the police. I don't know how the police will deal with you then." Nan Qiao threatened and tempted her at the same time. Her voice seemed to have magic, making Wan Wan believe Nan Qiao's words.

"If I tell you everything, will you really let me go?" Wan Wan asked uncertainly.

"Yes," Nan Qiao gave her an affirmative answer.

At the mention of what happened back then, Wan Wan was shocked and afraid. She said with a sobbing tone, "I didn't want to hurt you, but Nan Zhi threatened me with what happened back then. I only became friends with you after receiving benefits from Nan Zhi. She said that if I don't help her do this, she'll tell everyone.

I had no choice. I could only listen to her. She asked me to carry the potted plant to the sixth floor. There's a thread on the potted plant. It looks like a fishing thread. It's not very conspicuous as it's thin and not easy to discover.

She asked me to leave after doing this so as not to arouse suspicion. The day it happened, I was actually on the fifth floor. The surveillance camera on the far left of the fifth floor was broken. She asked me to wait there and said that a fishing line would fall later. I just need to pull it then. She even said that she would send a message to prompt me.

Later on, she really sent me a message. After receiving the message, I pulled that line. Who knew that the flower pot would fall in your way… I really didn't do it on purpose. I don't have any enmity with you. Why would I want you to die?"

She cried. These days, this matter had been hidden in her heart and she did not dare to tell anyone. Every night, when there was a loud noise outside, she would be frightened awake and think that the police had come to kick the door open.

She was scared to death.

"I really didn't want to harm you. I was just following Nan Zhi's instructions. Let me go. I'll transfer schools and leave this place, okay? Please don't hand me over to the police…" Wan Wan grabbed Nan Qiao's hand and begged.

"Alright, you…" Nan Qiao was about to let Wan Wan leave when a clear and magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"I'm afraid this matter won't be resolved so easily."

Nan Qiao suddenly turned around. "Big Brother? Why are you here?"

"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that such a dangerous thing had happened. You actually hid such an important thing from me, your big brother!"

Murong Chen's already dark expression turned even colder. His expression was icy, and his brows were furrowed tightly. There was a faint aura of power accumulating.

Nan Qiao gave Wan Wan a look to let her leave first.

"Big Brother, listen to me."

"You didn't intend to tell me at all. If I hadn't discovered it myself, how long would you have hidden it from me?" Murong Chen's black eagle eyes stared at Wan Wan's departing figure.

Nan Qiao and Murong Chen sat in the car. The atmosphere was cold, and there was no need to turn on the air conditioner.

"Big Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I'm still investigating. I don't have any evidence yet, so I didn't tell you. But today, I found some evidence, so I arranged to meet Wan Wan here to threaten her."

Hearing his sister's words, Murong Chen's mood improved a little. Then, he looked at his sister with a feeling of having survived a disaster.

"Were you injured at the time?"

Nan Qiao shook her head. "No, Nan Zhi was the one who created this accident for others to see. I wasn't injured as she pounced on top of me."

When Murong Chen heard this, he snorted coldly. "She's already so scheming and ruthless at such a young age. She can even be so ruthless to herself. You've really suffered all these years alone in the Nan family."

Murong Chen hugged Nan Qiao tightly with heartache. From the looks of it, this kind of thing seemed to be a common occurrence for her. She looked too calm for a victim. He wondered how many times this kind of thing had happened. How did she survive in such a bad situation?

"Big Brother will definitely not let you suffer like that again in the future. Big Brother will definitely protect you."

Nan Qiao, who was being hugged, only felt that her brother's embrace was especially warm. She thought of her biological brothers and felt a little sad. Her nose felt sour and her eyes were moist.

"Okay."

Was this the feeling of being protected by an older brother?

She could not remember when was the last time she had felt it.

"Leave this matter to me. I will definitely let the villains receive the punishment they deserve." Murong Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, the sharpness in them chilling. Nan Zhi, right? He could not let go of anyone who had hurt Qiao Qiao.

"No, Big Brother, I hope you can leave this matter to me to deal with."

"Why?" Murong Chen asked in confusion.

"Because I want to personally make Nan Zhi receive the punishment she deserves." Looking at the light in Nan Qiao's eyes and the burning anger in her eyes, Murong Chen agreed.

"Then I'll leave this matter to you to handle. If anything goes wrong, you have to look for me, understand? A big brother's existence is to take care of his little sister."

Nan Qiao almost cried. Her own brothers had never said such a thing to her.

"Alright, I understand. If I can't handle it well, I'll ask Big Brother for help."

When the car passed an intersection, Nan Qiao suddenly stopped.

"Big Brother, wait for me here for a while. I have something to do."

"Alright, be careful." Murong Chen watched Nan Qiao get out of the car and refused to look away. His eyes were filled with worry.

After Nan Qiao left, the assistant turned around and asked, "Sir, when did you have a younger sister?"

Murong Chen glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "She's Grandpa's granddaughter and the heir of the Shengjing Group."

Wang Tao was so shocked that his mouth could not close.

"She… she, she, she's the heiress of Shengjing Group!"

Wang Tao thought about his performance just now and confirmed that he had not offended Nan Qiao in any way before he felt relieved.

As expected, the Eldest Miss did not reveal her true colors.

Nan Qiao arrived at the café where she used to work. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Huo Yichen. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖

The two of them looked at each other and did not speak. Nan Qiao first found the boss and told him about her situation.

"I see. I was wondering why you left without saying goodbye. After you quit, I'll have one less capable and down-to-earth employee. You have to come back often to visit us in the future. I'll treat you to coffee."

"Thank you for taking care of me during this period of time."

Nan Qiao and the boss were chatting when Huo Yichen passed by in front. The boss whispered to Nan Qiao.
