Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses

Chapter 139: My Man is So Considerate!

Shen Family Courtyard, in the living room.

“I told you not to mess around, now look at what you’ve done!” After scolding Lin Nan, Lin Wanrou hung up the phone.

“What happened to Xiao Nan? Did something happen?” Seeing how furious Lin Wanrou was, Lin Wanxi asked curiously. She had never seen her sister so angry before, so her nephew must have caused some serious trouble.

“He’s suspected of money laundering and has been arrested.” Lin Wanrou sighed, not expecting her son to get involved in such matters.

“Money laundering?” Lin Wanxi was stunned, her expression bewildered. Even though her nephew didn’t have much status in the Lin family, he still had money. Why would he get involved in something like this?

“He used that money to buy a gaming company, hoping to achieve something impressive so the Lin family would take him seriously.” Seeing her sister’s confusion, Lin Wanrou explained with a sigh.

Lin Nan had good intentions; it was good for young people to be ambitious. But he shouldn’t have used money laundering to gain the Lin family’s approval!

“Sister, can you help me? The matter isn’t finalized yet, and there’s still room for maneuver.”

Lin Wanrou pleaded, looking at Lin Wanxi. Although they weren’t biological sisters, their bond was closer than that of real sisters. They had a good relationship even back in the Lin family, and now Lin Wanxi was the only one who could help her.

“I’ll let Qingqiu handle it…” Lin Wanxi sighed. Seeing her sister like this made her feel bad.

This matter was neither big nor small. The main issue was that it wasn’t yet confirmed that Lin Nan was indeed laundering money, so there was still some room to maneuver.

Without further hesitation, Lin Wanxi took out her phone and called Shen Qingqiu.

At Shen Group, Shen Qingqiu was reviewing documents. When she saw the incoming call, she didn’t hesitate to answer, “Mom, what’s the matter?”

Lin Wanxi briefly explained the situation to Shen Qingqiu.

“Go to the detention center and see what’s going on.”

“What’s he up to now?” Shen Qingqiu frowned, her expression impatient.

After what Lin Nan had said about Jiang Che last time, she didn’t have a good impression of him.

“Xiao Nan was just momentarily confused. Don’t say too much, just go and see.” Lin Wanxi comforted. After all, Lin Nan was Shen Qingqiu’s cousin. Despite their differences, it was still good to help.

“I understand, I’ll go. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.” With that, Shen Qingqiu hung up the phone. She wasn’t the type to be unreasonable; she knew what needed to be done.

“What a troublemaker!” After grumbling a few times, Shen Qingqiu took her assistant and headed to the detention center.

…

“Qingqiu has already gone to the detention center, you don’t need to worry anymore.” Lin Wanxi comforted Lin Wanrou.

“Thank you, sister…” Lin Wanrou said gratefully. In the Lin family, she wasn’t treated well. Only with her sister did she feel a bit of warmth.

“Do you know why Xiao Nan had such an extreme idea?” Lin Wanxi asked curiously, unable to understand Lin Nan’s actions. Even if he wanted to achieve something quickly, there was no need to take such an extreme route, right?

“I’m not sure…” Lin Wanrou pondered. She couldn’t possibly say that Lin Nan’s actions were spurred by Jiang Che and Shen Qingqiu’s behavior.

…

At the detention center, Shen Qingqiu arrived with a lawyer from Shen Group.

“Hello, Miss Shen…” Just as she was about to go in to see Lin Nan, a middle-aged man stood in her way.

“Do you know me?” Shen Qingqiu frowned at the middle-aged man. She was sure she had never met him.

“I am a lawyer for the Jiang family. Before coming, our young master instructed that if Miss Shen arrived, I should withdraw the lawsuit against Lin Nan.” The lawyer adjusted his glasses and said with a faint smile.

He was an old hand at the Jiang family and knew that his young master and Shen Qingqiu had a marriage contract. Although he didn’t understand why Jiang Che first sued Lin Nan and then had the lawsuit withdrawn when Shen Qingqiu arrived, he was just a worker and followed instructions.

“You mean Lin Nan used laundered money to acquire a Jiang family business?” Shen Qingqiu asked coldly, her brows furrowing in anger.

“That’s correct, Star Game Company is a subsidiary of the Jiang family. Our young master said this matter is just a small lesson for Lin Nan and won’t be pursued seriously. I will now proceed with withdrawing the lawsuit.” The lawyer said and left to prepare the necessary procedures.

Shen Qingqiu let him go without stopping him. Her mother had only mentioned that Lin Nan used dirty money to buy a gaming company, without specifying which one. She just found out that Lin Nan acquired a Jiang family business. This kind of thing could be minor or significant depending on the situation.

However, for a company as large as the Jiang family, even the slightest blemish was unacceptable! Although this was a small matter, it could indirectly affect the Jiang family’s stock market value and cause irreparable damage.

But because of her, Jiang Che decided not to hold Lin Nan accountable, which touched her deeply.

‘Indeed, I Shen Qingqiu’s man is so considerate!’

Even though Jiang Che didn’t call her directly, he had arranged everything. Feeling touched, Shen Qingqiu also felt more disgusted with her foolish cousin. This guy had badmouthed Jiang Che in front of her last time, and now he was being slapped in the face at lightning speed.

…

“President Shen, the necessary procedures have been completed. If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.” About half an hour later, the lawyer returned to Shen Qingqiu and spoke politely.

His respectful tone indicated that he saw her as his future mistress.

“Thank you…” Shen Qingqiu said faintly. Although Jiang Che handled everything, the lawyer still deserved some gratitude.

“You’re welcome, President Shen. You can now take Lin Nan out. My client will not pursue the matter further, but whether Lin Nan laundered money still needs to be investigated.” The lawyer said respectfully and left.

As the chief lawyer for the Jiang family, he had many cases to handle and couldn’t stay there indefinitely.

…

“Cousin, why are you here?” Lin Nan was soon released. He was still confused but understood when he saw Shen Qingqiu in the hall.

He believed Shen Qingqiu must have used her connections to get him out so quickly! This made Lin Nan deeply touched. His cousin still cared about him after all! She wasn’t as heartless as she seemed. freewebnσvel.cѳm

“Have you had enough causing trouble yet?!” Shen Qingqiu coldly glanced at Lin Nan, her eyes filled with killing intent. Her aura was chaotic, ready to erupt at any moment. She would not allow anyone to threaten Jiang Che, not even her cousin!

“Cousin… you…” Feeling Shen Qingqiu’s undisguised murderous intent, Lin Nan was terrified! His back was drenched in cold sweat, fine beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his face turned pale, his voice trembling. Shen Qingqiu’s current state was something he had never seen before.

“From today on, don’t let me see you again. Get as far away as you can!” Shen Qingqiu coldly looked at Lin Nan and turned to leave.

She feared staying longer would make her lose control and hit him! After all, this was a detention center, and the impact wouldn’t be good. In any other place, she would have beaten him up today!

Jiang Che was her bottom line, and Lin Nan had crossed it, making it impossible for her to remain calm. Watching Shen Qingqiu leave, Lin Nan was utterly confused. He couldn’t understand why Shen Qingqiu was so hostile toward him. Wasn’t she here to bail him out?

Why did she look like she wanted to kill him after getting him out?

“You can leave, but you must stay in Linjiang City until we complete our investigation. If necessary, you must respond to our summons.” A police officer walked up to Lin Nan and warned him.

The Jiang family had withdrawn the lawsuit, so he had no reason to keep Lin Nan detained. Although Lin Nan was highly suspected of money laundering, there was no solid evidence yet. But the matter was too significant to drop. Once they had enough evidence, they would arrest Lin Nan immediately.

So Lin Nan left the detention center in a daze, still unsure of what had happened…
