The surveillance footage was reviewed, confirming that Shen Wu had initiated the first move, and Nan Yan coincidentally raised her hand at that moment.

Shen Wu’s eyes were filled with hostility as he glared at Shen Junqing and Nan Yan, his expression growing even uglier.

However, no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t lay a hand on Shen Junqing in front of the police.

“Mr. Shen, it has been confirmed that you were the one who started the physical confrontation, and this young lady inadvertently injured you,” one of the police officers stated impartially. “Both parties were at fault. If you don’t wish to settle this privately, then we’ll have to proceed to the police station together.”

The two police officers maintained their fairness and neutrality, not showing any bias towards Shen Wu, even though he was the second young master of the Shen family.

Nobody wanted to go to the police station, and in the presence of the two officers, the three of them chose to settle the matter amicably.

Shen Wu begrudgingly accepted his defeat, casting a resentful glance at them and huffing in frustration. He had lost his appetite for this meal.

But he was determined to seek revenge; he couldn’t let this slide.

“Remember to transfer the compensation for my mental distress to my account. I plan to use it to buy a gift for my sister,” Shen Junqing said, causing Shen Wu to choke in anger. He walked away even faster.

With Shen Wu gone, Shen Junqing turned to Nan Yan, whose face was now even more impassive than usual, and couldn’t help but say, “Yanyan, would you like to eat somewhere else?”

“No need, let’s stay here,” she replied, finding the idea bothersome.

“Alright, then let them bring the food.”

After dealing with his injury at the hospital, Shen Wu went directly to the Shen family’s residence to report the incident to Old Master Shen (Grandfather Shen).

Old Master Shen was in his seventies but still in robust health. If he didn’t step down, he could continue to hold power for at least another ten years, given his physical condition.

However, he was also an open-minded individual. As his three sons gained competence, he gradually delegated his responsibilities.

At present, he merely held shares in the company, spending his days fishing and playing chess, leading a leisurely retired life.

But if anyone thought that he was not involved in the family business anymore, they were greatly mistaken. After all, he was a self-made man who had clawed his way to success in a competitive business world. Even in his old age, he remained a formidable figure.

With a sharp gaze, Old Master Shen fixed his eyes on Shen Wu. “Are you saying that Third Young Master Shen allowed his female companion to harm you?”

Under the scrutiny of Old Master Shen’s eyes, Shen Wu felt somewhat nervous. Nevertheless, he stiffened his resolve and replied, “Grandfather, it was that malicious woman who injured my hand with a dinner fork.”

“Why did she attack you? There must have been a reason,” Old Master Shen inquired.

Shen Wu explained, “I just wanted to give a little lesson to Third Brother, urging him to be more restrained in the future and not tarnish the Shen family’s reputation. That woman took advantage of Third Brother’s favor and acted arrogantly, and she attacked me!”

“Teach Third Brother?” Old Master Shen’s expression turned cold. “What makes you qualified to teach him?”

Old Master Shen couldn’t bear to scold Shen Junqing, let alone allow Shen Wu to do so.

Shen Wu couldn’t believe it and asked, “Grandfather, because of his absurd actions, he’s become a laughingstock, and you’re still indulging him?”

“Even if he becomes a laughingstock, it’s his choice. What does it have to do with you?”

Old Master Shen said sternly. “Shen Wu, I’ll say this once: let Junqing do as he pleases. You have no right to meddle in his affairs.”

“Leave.”

Under Old Master Shen’s imposing presence, Shen Wu dared not ask further questions, so he begrudgingly accepted and left the room.

Once outside, he clenched his teeth firmly.

Since Grandfather wasn’t going to intervene, he would take matters into his own hands.

He couldn’t swallow this humiliation without giving Shen Junqing a lesson!

After finishing their meal, Shen Junqing drove Nan Yan back to the An family’s old mansion.

As they stopped the car, Shen Junqing turned to her and asked, “Yanyan, are you free tomorrow night?”

Nan Yan raised her gaze and inquired, “What’s up?

“It’s a competition, what else could it be?” Shen Junqing replied with anticipation. “The prize money is substantial, five million, and I’ll give it all to you.”

He didn’t need the money; he just enjoyed these competitions. But now he felt that watching Nan Yan compete while sitting in her car added an extra layer of challenge.

“Alright, come pick me up tomorrow night.”

Nan Yan wouldn’t go against money.

It would be a waste not to take the money that was delivered to his doorstep.

“Then Third Brother will contact you tomorrow.”

“Okay.”

After getting out of the car, Nan Yan waved to Shen Junqing, who was still relaxed. She then entered the An family’s residence.

Old Master An and An Xiran were still waiting for her.

Seeing her return, Old Master An immediately smiled and said, “Yanyan, you’re back!”

Nan Yan placed her backpack on the sofa and sat down beside Old Master An. “Grandfather, why aren’t you resting yet? It’s already quite late.”

“I was waiting for you, dear. I haven’t seen you for a week. Your absence made it difficult for me to sleep,” Old Master An explained with a smile. “I was only gone for a week…” Nan Yan sighed helplessly. “Next time, please don’t wait for me. Just go to sleep, and you’ll see me the next day.” “Your health has only recently improved. You can’t overexert yourself,” “Alright, I understand,” Old Master An said.

Old Master An knew that his granddaughter was worried about him, so he nodded with a smile.

“It’s getting late. Uncle Tian, help Grandpa to rest.”

“Yes, Miss.” Tian Yi replied with a smile and came over to help Old Master An to the bedroom.

An Xiran waited for Old Master An to leave before asking, “Yanyan, about that third young master of the Shen family…”

“Third Brother is a good person. Fourth Brother, don’t listen to those rumors,” Nan Yan said.

Nan Yan didn’t want An Xiran to misunderstand Shen Junqing.

After all, they were all people she acknowledged.

“Oh…” An Xiran felt that it sounded a bit strange to hear her refer to Shen Junqing as “Third Brother.”

“Regarding the money for purchasing the shares, you really don’t need to give it to him?” An Xiran asked.

“No, he doesn’t need it. If I give him the money, he’ll be upset,” Nan Yan replied.

An Xiran was speechless.

Giving tens of millions just like that, An Xiran began to understand why Shen Junqing could be called the ‘third brother’ in Nan Yan’s line.

“I’ll find another way to thank him, so don’t worry about it,” Nan Yan assured him.

“Alright, then I won’t worry about it,” An Xiran replied nonchalantly. “It’s getting late; you should get some rest. You have classes tomorrow.” “Yeah,” Nan Yan agreed.

Afterward, Nan Yan finished her nightly routine and lay in bed.

Suddenly, she remembered something she had forgotten to do, something Qin Lu had asked her to do.

She had completely forgotten about it until now.

She reached for her phone on the bedside table and sent a message to Qin Lu: [Brother, I’ve arrived safely. I’m going to sleep now. Good night.]

Qin Lu, who had been handling some matters, heard his phone ring and picked it up. He unlocked the screen and saw Nan Yan’s message.

He chuckled, but it was more of an exasperated chuckle.

It had been two hours since her flight had landed, and now she was sending him a message. It seemed she had forgotten about him and only remembered now.

He swiped his fingers across the screen, and his eyes gleamed with a hint of mischief as he typed a reply .

[Good night, little one.]

He decided to let her rest for now and deal with her later…
