After Mu Anhan returned to Tianqin Residence, she naturally didn’t mention this to Gu Xiaozhan.

How could a domineering man like Gu Xiaozhan possibly help Pei Zhe?

Mu Anhan would never do such a foolish thing.

She knew that if she brought it up, the balance between her and Gu Xiaozhan might completely collapse.

If Pei Zhe needed help, she would assist him herself, rather than asking Gu Xiaozhan to help.

Mu Anhan was watching the news on TV.

Five years ago.

There was a heinous case where a man not only forced a woman into a relationship but also murdered her.

Soon after, the perpetrator was caught and sentenced to death, closing the case.

There was once a proposal about chemically castrating men who forced women against their will.

Pei Wei also participated in the decision. During the proposal meeting, five people were eligible to vote, and if the majority supported it, it would pass.

The vote was two to two.

Pei Wei’s vote was the decisive one.

At that time, his chaotic personal life hadn’t been exposed.

He concluded the case with a negative vote.

Now, the matter has resurfaced on the internet, with some netizens claiming he was benefiting himself.

Others speculated whether he had ever violated a woman’s will and committed such vile acts.

The TV only mentioned it briefly, but online discussions were fervent.

Mu Anhan felt that exposing this matter could ruin Pei Wei’s reputation.

Who would have thought that another heinous case occurred in the Imperial City one evening five years later, involving a forced relationship and the murder of a female victim.

A red scarf, the same murder symbol from five years ago, appeared on the woman’s neck.

The police were particularly concerned about the case’s impact on the public, so they hadn’t disclosed it to society.

But Xue Xiangtong was the investigator on this case, and Mu Anhan learned quite a lot from her.

Gu Xiaozhan didn’t allow Mu Anhan to go out in the evenings; he said that if she had to go somewhere, he had to accompany her.

Ever since the explosion incident at the set, Gu Xiaozhan cherished her immensely.

Mu Anhan was not one to be easily contained; she felt this case might be related to Pei Wei.

If the truth came out, Pei Wei stepping down from his position as Crown Prince would be imminent.

Mu Anhan arranged to go shopping with Miao Feishuang, and they talked about the case.

"Should we linger a bit longer on the streets?" Mu Anhan suggested.

"But it’s very dangerous!" Miao Feishuang’s face turned slightly pale with fear.

"I’ll protect you," Mu Anhan immediately assured her.

Miao Feishuang nodded, "Alright then!"

"But, Xiao Zhan is keeping a close eye on me; it’s hard to get out," Mu Anhan said, "You’ll have to help me." 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

"How can I help? Do I beat up Mr. Gu and tell him to let you out?" Miao Feishuang was speechless.

Mu Anhan laughed, "Of course not. Just say you’re feeling scared alone at home and ask me to accompany you. Anyway, Lu Yuhao is rarely home, so no harm saying that, right?"

As Miao Feishuang hesitated, Mu Anhan told her, "What if this could pull Pei Wei down from his position as Crown Prince?"

"I’ll do it." Miao Feishuang was more than willing to help Pei Zhe.

Just because she once liked Pei Zhe so much.

"It’s settled then, call me tonight," Mu Anhan smiled.

In the evening, as Mu Anhan was in the living room checking her phone, Miao Feishuang’s call came through.
