Chapter 1861: Arrested

“Xinyu.”

“It’s too late. The companies that needed to be checked have all been investigated thoroughly, otherwise they wouldn’t have made a decision about you so easily, would they.”

The Manager looked regretful. “I can’t help you anymore. While you can still reach people, think of a way yourself.”

Too late…

Ye Xinyu stumbled out into the hallway. It was the end of June, yet out of nowhere came a chill.

Her whole body was invaded by that chill, going numb and stiff.

It was Nan Jiaojiao!

It had to be her!

Otherwise how could there be such a coincidence—just after their falling-out last night, she got fired today. That bitch must have whispered in Bo Yanching’s ear and pinned the blame on her.

In a big company, anyone with a bit of a position has one or two dirty little things on their hands. If no one’s targeting you on purpose, who would bother to dig!

Ye Xinyu pulled out her phone. She was still burning with anger, but the moment she dialed, she realized she’d been blocked. She tried several times and got the same mechanical female voice each time.

Her mind finally cleared. Holding onto the wall, her legs still weak, not wanting to make herself look too pathetic, she found a chair and sat down, hands trembling as she called Ye Jun.

The second the call connected, the sob in her throat burst out: “Bro, come pick me up at Bo’s right now, I… I’m in trouble.”

Ye Jun hung up and rushed over. By the time he arrived, Ye Xinyu was being put into a police car.

He got out immediately, one hand still on the car door. Ye Xinyu looked over at him—his always-proud little sister, her makeup was a mess from crying, her clothes slightly disheveled. She must have resisted, but the pulling and shoving had only made her look even more miserable.

He didn’t think about anything else and hurried forward, only to be stopped by the police. He couldn’t get any information out of them, his head buzzing, so he quickly had people start digging.

Early that morning, Nan Jiaojiao woke up in Bo Yanching’s arms. After breakfast, he drove her to the set.

When the car pulled into the garage, she had just unbuckled her seatbelt and was about to give Bo Yanching a loving hug when Ye Jun called. She glanced at the screen, then lifted her hand to press against Bo Yanching’s lips, pushing his face back.

“Big Brother.”

“Jiaojiao, Xinyu was taken away by the police…”

Nan Jiaojiao was surprised. “What happened?”

“From what I’ve been able to find, she violated the company’s interests. I can’t get the specifics. I’m trying to find a way to see her, but the police are blocking me hard, I can’t get in. I really have no choice. Did she come to see you last night?”

Nan Jiaojiao had been listening carefully to the first part, but when she heard that last question, a chill suddenly slid across her heart.

“Yes.”

Ye Xinyu coming to see her had been shady from the start, and there was no way Ye Jun would know unless he’d dug it up.

There was nothing worth hiding, so she simply admitted it.

Ye Jun probed, “Did she say anything to you, or did something happen between you two?”

Nan Jiaojiao subconsciously glanced to the side. “Nothing at all. She said some nasty things; I can’t repeat them. If you get to see her, you can ask her yourself. But her being arrested by the police has nothing to do with me.”

“No, no, no… I’m not suspecting you of anything. It’s just that I’m out of options. You two met last night, so I thought you might know something. Don’t take it the wrong way.”

“I really don’t know anything.”

Ye Jun sounded deflated. “Okay, I got it. Don’t overthink it.”

Nan Jiaojiao gave a soft “Mm” and hung up.

“What’s wrong?” Bo Yanching turned to her and asked.

“Did you know that Ye Xinyu’s been arrested?”

“More or less.”

Nan Jiaojiao asked, “Can I ask?”
