Yan Heng didn’t admit that he was Wen Li’s father, but he didn’t deny it either. As for what the teacher thought, it was up to her.

Holding Wen Li’s hand, Yan Heng walked to the car.

He opened the door and before he could say anything, Wen Li had already climbed into the back seat of the car and obediently fastened his seatbelt.

He Mulan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, saw Wen Li and asked Yan Heng with her eyes, “Is that him?”

Yan Heng didn’t say anything. He just started the car and drove towards He Mulan’s house.

He Mulan was stunned. “You want to bring him along?”

“Can’t I?” Yan Heng asked casually.

“Um… okay…” He Mulan seemed to be a little afraid of Yan Heng.

On the way, Wen Li, who was sitting in the back seat, was very obedient. He did not say a word and did not ask where Yan Heng was bringing him.

When they reached He Mulan’s villa, Yan Heng opened the back door. “Get off.”

Wen Li obediently jumped out of the car.

When He Mulan’s parents saw Wen Li, they were also puzzled. “Yan Heng, whose child is this?”

“It’s a friend’s!” Yan Heng casually explained, “Something happened, so I’m helping to take care of him.”

He Mulan’s parents didn’t ask for too many details and started to introduce Yan Heng to the guests attending the banquet.

Other than the mayor, there were also many famous people in Yunhai City. Yan Heng held Wen Li’s hand the whole time as he greeted everyone. They were all curious about Wen Li’s identity but no one seemed concerned about Yan Heng’s privacy.

At the end of the introduction, the mayor casually asked, “A very cute kid. His parents must be very beautiful! I must get to know them when you have time.”

The mayor was just being polite, but Yan Heng laughed. “I’m afraid the mayor will be disappointed because his mother is currently being locked up by your subordinates!”

Wen Ning was brought to the police station and locked in a small cell.

There was a small table in the room and two chairs facing each other. There was nothing else.

After a while, a policeman walked in with a serious look on his face.

After gesturing for Wen Ning to sit opposite him, the policeman took out a notebook and asked, “Are you Wen Ning?”

“Yes!”

“Around 22:37 last night, were you at the southern part of River Road. Did you attack a kind gentleman?”

Wen Ning frowned and said, “I don’t think he’s kind and he’s certainly not a gentleman! I only did it because he sexually harassed me. Besides…”

The police officer interrupted Wen Ning and said, “You just have to answer yes or no. As for how you’re going to defend yourself, you just have to tell the judge. I’m only in charge of confirming the facts! I just want to be objective”

Wen Ning said with displeasure, “In that case, aren’t you being subjective by calling him a kind-hearted gentleman?”

The policeman stared at Wen Ning for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he lowered his head and said, “Alright! Next question, did you snatch a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch worth 1.5 million US dollars from the person involved?”

“What?” Wen Ning’s eyes widened in shock. “Are you kidding me? What reason do I have to snatch his things? This is slander! I’ve said it before, I only hurt him because he sexually harassed me! I didn’t do anything wrong, let alone snatch his watch!”

“Is that so?” The police officer sneered. “Miss Wen, according to our investigation, your father’s company is in a debt crisis. After you returned to the country, you promised those creditors that you would repay their debts within a week! That is why you stole someone else’s expensive watch. Am I right?”

“Slander! This is slander! What evidence do you have to prove that I stole his watch? I’m going to sue you!” Wen Ning exclaimed agitatedly.

“Evidence?” The policeman sneered. “There will be!”

There was a knock on the door..
