After exchanging some pleasantries, he led Qiao Nian into the police station. As they walked, he told her what he knew.

What he said was similar to what Superintendent Qin, whom Qiao Weimin had found, had said. Chen Yuan’s situation was quite tricky. If he wanted to clear Chen Yuan’s name, he would have to call all the people who were at the Sky Bar back to investigate. However, it involved the second-generation heirs of some wealthy families in the city. Most importantly, it involved some people in Beijing.

Qiao Nian only went to Beijing for an exam this time. She had only stayed for a week and did not know much about the powers there.

Therefore, when she heard the name Wei Qi, she didn’t have much of an impression of him. She only felt that he happened to have the same surname as Wei Lou.

With Cai Gang around, it was much easier for her to meet Chen Yuan.

Cai Gang greeted someone and she went in.

Before meeting him, Qiao Nian wasn’t very worried about Chen Yuan’s situation. On the way, she had received a message from Aunt Chen. She had already guessed that Aunt Chen had come to the police station to take a look. She thought that Chen Yuan was just in a sorry state after being locked up for two days and had not rested well.

Unexpectedly, when she saw the real person, Qiao Nian’s eyes suddenly narrowed into pinpricks of light. Her expression darkened as she walked over. “Who did this?”

Her voice was deep and didn’t sound loud, but she sounded like an angered wolf. For the first time, her eyes were so fierce.

Chen Yuan’s face was bruised. The left corner of his eye was swollen, and only a small gap could be seen. The corner of his mouth was bruised. It was obvious that he had been beaten up.

When he saw Qiao Nian, he opened his mouth in shock and embarrassment. He subconsciously turned his head away, not letting her see his face.

“No, no one. Sister Nian, why are you here? Aren’t you taking the exam in Beijing?”

A rare expression of anger appeared on Qiao Nian’s face as she said calmly, “Liang Bowen said you didn’t go to school for two consecutive days. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone, so I came back.”

When he heard this, Chen Yuan turned around. He was a little emotional as he stared at her intently. “Then… what about your exam?”

Everyone in class said that Qiao Nian wouldn’t pass, but he didn’t think so.

He believed that Qiao Nian could get in.

Qiao Nian didn’t know if she should laugh or scold him. At a time like this, he was still concerned about whether she could get into university or not.

However, seeing the veins on his forehead bulging and the way he was holding the cuffs tightly with both hands, Qiao Nian’s heart stirred. She pursed her lips and said, “I passed. I’m in the Chinese Medicine Faculty.”

“Phew…” Chen Yuan clenched his shackles tightly and let go of his breath. Because his emotions fluctuated too much, he fell back onto the chair with a pale face. “It’s good that you got in. It’s good that you got in.”

If Qiao Nian failed the exam because of him, he would never be able to forgive himself!

When he heard that she had successfully entered Qing University, his heart felt bitter and astringent. It was an indescribable feeling. He forced a smile and looked at her. “Congratulations, Sister Nian. You have successfully entered the specialization you want to study in.”

He held back the second half of his sentence, pressing against him like a rock.

He looked at the beautiful girl in front of him. Chen Yuan felt as if there was a gap between them that he couldn’t catch up to. In the past, he had fantasized about getting into university and becoming successful. But now…

He recalled what had happened a few hours ago and felt depressed.

Qiao Nian didn’t hear his pretended relaxed blessings. She could tell that he wanted to change the topic. With her hands in her pockets and a fierce look in her eyes, she asked him, “Who beat you up like this?”

“Don’t ask…” Chen Yuan didn’t want her to be involved. He refused to say anything and even turned his head away, refusing to look at her..
