Chapter 498: Changes Happened
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Hearing Ning Yan’s words, Wang Bo who was crestfallen suddenly blushed in anger. He struggled hard, trying to rush up at Ning Yan. “It’s you! Ning Yan! You set me up to retaliate against me!”
A policeman held his arm and tried to stop him, shouting with a frown. “Freeze!”
Seeing Wang Bo acting as he was, Ning Yan turned up the corners of his mouth and a cold gleam flickered across his eyes. “What are you talking about? Are you worthy of me bothering to set you up? Don’t you feel ashamed of being caught attending a group sex party?”
Wang Bo was furious, trying to disengage himself from the policeman’s grip to hit Ning Yan. The latter looked at him casually and said, “You’d better not let me see you again. Otherwise, I’ll beat the hell out of you.”
After that Wang Bo was taken away by the policemen, Ning Yan turned to go back into the room. The Ning Family was one of the top four families in City A and Ning Yan himself was a very famous director, so very few people would mess with a person like Ning Yan. Not very many people were as stupid as Wang Bo.
Wang Bo wanted to ruin Ning Yan’s reputation so that as Ning Yan’s competitor, he could benefit from Ning Yan’s scandal. However, to his disappointment, his plot was thwarted by Tang Xi who had Qiao Liang behind her, so he failed to create a scandal centered around Ning Yan.
Ning Yan was obviously in a good mood. He drank two glasses with the others and sang two Karaoke songs. Seeing Ning Yan acting like this, Tang Xi asked Xiao Jing who was beside her, “Why is Ning Yan so happy? He doesn’t have to be so excited just because he sent Wang Bo to the police station, does he?”

“He was pretending to be a nice guy for so long and now he finally could do something evil, so he is happy.” Xiao Jing looked at Ning Yan and turned up the corners of his mouth. “He is happy not just because he took revenge on Wang Bo.”
Tang Xi was confused. “You spoke as if Ning Yan is a bad guy.”
“Yes, he is.” Xiao Jing winked at Tang Xi. “Ning Yan has been tired of playing nice, and Wang Bo happened to annoy him, so…”
From what he knew of Ning Yan, he usually wouldn’t touch innocent people, but this time he almost ruined the whole crew of Wang Bo’s movie. Perhaps he had been repressing his true nature for too long.
Tang Xi shrugged. At that moment, Ning Yan came up to them and asked Tang Xi, “Have your family decided to release those people? Last night when I got home, I overheard my uncle say to my father that someone wanted them to release Tao Yan and her family. Is it your parents who want them to be released?”
Tang Xi frowned and turned her eyes to Xiao Yan. “Yan, did you hear Mom and Dad talked about this matter?”
Xiao Yan shook his head. “I don’t think so. Mom still hates them very much.”
Tang Xi frowned. She suddenly thought of the words Lin Ruozhi said. Was there someone powerful behind Tao Yan who they didn’t know of yet?
“Okay, I know. Can you ask your uncle who wants them to be released?” Tang Xi had a hunch that she would be able to find who was behind Tao Yan if she followed this clue!
Ning Yan nodded. “Okay, no problem. But I’m not sure whether I can get an answer from my uncle, because my uncle isn’t in charge of this case. He just heard of it. And you know, he doesn’t like dealing with these kind of matters.”

Tang Xi glanced at Qiao Liang who gave her a reassuring look. Tang Xi smiled but she was in a bad mood now. She had been wondering why Tao Yan spent so much money every month. If she was born in a rich family, it explained everything.
As Wang Bo had been solved, they came back home respectively soon. It was one am when Tang Xi got home. They didn’t go back to the mansion but to the villa.
The next morning, the others went to work. Tang Xi said she wanted to turn her design drawings into clothes, so she stayed at home. Xiao Yao made breakfast for her and went back to the mansion so as not to bother her. Seeing them all leave, Tang Xi took her car keys and went out.
As soon as Tang Xi walked out of the villa, she spotted Little Six. She paused and walked up to him, asking helplessly, “Why are you here?”
“Young Master asked me to send you over.” Little Six smiled at her. “He said you couldn’t drive because you hadn’t got a driver’s license.”
Tang Xi, “…” I don’t have to get a driver’s license, alright?! I have a type-A driver’s license before! And I was even an amateur racing driver before!
“Where will you send me to? I’m not going to him!” Tang Xi grumbled, threw the car key to Little Six, opened the car door and got into the car.
Although she spoke in a low voice, Little Six heard her. He raised his eyebrows and asked, “Aren’t you going to the detention center?”
Tang Xi paused and looked around. She almost doubted that Qiao Liang was monitoring her. How did he know she was going to the detention center?!
They went to the detention center and soon Tang Xi saw Tao Yan. As soon as Tao Yan saw Tang Xi, her face darkened. She narrowed her eyes, looked at Tang Xi in disgust and coldly said, “What do you want?!”
This face is simply disgusting, especially those eyes! Why can’t that woman just disappear? Isn’t she already dead?!
Noticing Tao Yan’s looks, Tang Xi pursed her lips and sneered. “I didn’t expect you had such a great secret.”
Hearing her words, Tao Yan grew vigilant. She narrowed her eyes and stared at Tang Xi. “You’ve already found out about it?”
“Yes! It’s easy to find out.” Tang Xi clenched her hands. As long as Tao Yan spoke some more words, she could find out who was behind her!
“You’re trying to trick me into telling you the secret, aren’t you?” Tao Yan suddenly sneered and looked at Tang Xi. “Little girl, do you think it’s possible? Don’ even think about it!”
If this girl had found out about her secret, she wouldn’t have talked to her so calmly.
