Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 373: She Has Heroin on Her

The police officer looked at the white powder in the transparent bag and pinned Zhang Miaoyan against the wall. "What is this?"

Zhang Miaoyan cried out in pain, "Officer, that’s not my stuff. I’m not a criminal. You can’t treat me like this!"

Yan Yuni realized something was wrong. He often partied with some wealthy kids, using marijuana, so he instantly recognized this substance as heroin.

He thought this was the end. What’s so special about today? Should have checked the calendar before going out!

The officer picked up the item, sniffed it, then opened his radio to call for backup. "Found a suspicious foreign citizen carrying heroin. Requesting support."

It was like a bolt from the blue for Zhang Miaoyan. How could she have heroin on her? This was too much, more than 50 grams could land her in prison!

Knowing this wasn’t the time to argue, and with many people watching, Zhang Miaoyan bowed her head, covering her face with her hair to avoid being photographed. Not only would it be embarrassing for her, but also for Yu Chen.

Yan Yuni knew it was time to distance himself from Zhang Miaoyan. "Officer, I’m not familiar with her. Can I leave now?"

The officer wasn’t going to let him go. He had a legitimate reason to suspect both of them since there had just been a physical altercation between them in the street. Both were suspects.

The police car arrived quickly, and they were both taken into custody.

A tall, skinny man witnessed the scene unfold from a distance. He hadn’t expected things to escalate so quickly, saving him a lot of trouble.

He took a photo and made a call. "It’s all going smoothly. The woman named Zhang was taken by the police, along with another man."

Jiang Cai Xuan saw the photo after it passed through a few hands. She hadn’t expected things to go so well, even taking Yan Yuni with her.

With a strange man involved, Yu Chen would be even more unable to accept this, right?

Zhang Miaoyan and Yan Yuni were taken to the police station. On the way, she kept thinking about why she had heroin on her. The only suspect was the person who had bumped into her.

Why would someone frame her? Who was behind this?

Zhang Miaoyan couldn’t figure it out. She and Yan Yuni were separated for questioning. Zhang Miaoyan saw the officers filing a report and nervously explained, "Officer, that’s really not my stuff. Do you have to file a report?"

The officer was dismissive. "We saw it fall out of your bag. You’re saying it’s not yours?"

Zhang Miaoyan knew they wouldn’t believe her but insisted, "I’ve been framed. Check the road CCTV, you’ll see."

She spoke confidently, though she was unsure if there were any cameras on that road.

In the end, they were bailed out by someone associated with Yan Yuni.

Zhang Miaoyan had never been in police custody before and feared it would leave a mark on her record. She asked Yan Yuni, "What method did you use?"

Yan Yuni replied, "Money can move mountains in a capitalist country. I’ll handle it for you."

He saw this as a golden opportunity to play the hero. Now Miao Yan would realize he was far better than the workaholic Xie Yuchen.

He wasn’t sure how he felt about Zhang Miaoyan. He had been with her because she was beautiful. After several years without contact, seeing her now, dressed more gorgeously than a celebrity, made him regret his past actions.

Zhang Miaoyan didn’t want to accept Yan Yuni’s kindness, but she had no one else to turn to.

Yu Chen must not find out about this.

Zhang Miaoyan forced herself to talk to Yan Yuni. He suggested moving to the same hotel for convenience, claiming it would make coordinating with the police easier.

Miao Yan began to suspect: could this whole framing be Yan Yuni’s scheme?

Reluctant to complicate things further, she agreed to Yan Yuni’s request and told him, "I’m staying at Laiden Hotel."

Yan Yuni moved there quickly.

Zhang Miaoyan was forced to stay in the United States for a few more days, waiting until the case could be officially dismissed before returning home.

She didn’t dare chat or call Yu Chen, afraid he’d become suspicious. She texted him saying she’d been going to bed early lately and would be making fewer calls.

Xie Yuchen asked her, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Miaoyan replied, "No, just haven’t been sleeping well, feeling a bit tired."

Xie Yuchen wasn’t sleeping well either. Of course, sleeping alone away from home wasn’t as comfortable.

He told her, "I’ll be home in a few days."

Zhang Miaoyan panicked. If Yu Chen returned before her, her cover would be blown!

She went to Yan Yuni, urging him to clean up this mess quickly.

Convinced that Yan Yuni was responsible, they argued as soon as they met. Yan Yuni, feeling wrongly accused, decided not to help. "Let the police investigate. We’ll see who your enemy is."

Seeing that he was really stepping back, Zhang Miaoyan secretly sought help from Uncle Gu.

The company couldn’t know about this. Uncle Gu was well-connected and could surely help her out.

If Yan Yuni had cooperated, she wouldn’t have to trouble Uncle Gu.

Gu Kuangyong listened to her problem. He said, "I’ll have someone help you. Be more careful when you’re out, don’t give others a chance. This doesn’t look good."

Zhang Miaoyan felt ashamed, "Understood, Uncle Gu. I’ll be more careful."

With Uncle Gu promising to help, Zhang Miaoyan felt much more at ease. She sneered at Yan Yuni, "If it turns out to be your doing, I’m not letting this go."

Yan Yuni was infuriated, "Fine, you’ve got guts!" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Jiang Cai Xuan spent two days in meetings with Xie Yuchen. Seeing the timing was right, she casually said, "I went to Laiden Hotel yesterday to meet a friend and thought I saw Miao Yan there. Is she planning a surprise visit to see you in the United States?"

Xie Yuchen wanted to call back, but remembered Zhang Miaoyan had said she wouldn’t be able to talk these past few days. He asked, "Which floor?"

Jiang Cai Xuan replied, "Seems like 70056. My friend rents a room there long-term. I saw it when I passed by..." Noticing Xie Yuchen’s concern, she added as if to dismiss her comment, "Probably a mistake. The girl I saw was with a man. How could it be Miao Yan?"

Xie Yuchen didn’t respond, though his mind raced, eager to rush to the hotel for confirmation.

Jiang Cai Xuan knew he’d heard her. If a man has even a sliver of doubt, he will seek the truth rather than stay restless.

After work, Jiang Cai Xuan headed straight to the hotel, took a shower, and opened her room door as she timed it perfectly. As expected, Xie Yuchen was standing in the corridor.

Her room was directly across from Zhang Miaoyan’s.

Jiang Cai Xuan, draped in a bathrobe and exuding wild post-shower sensuality, twirled a wine glass in her hand, pretending to wait for house service.

Seeing Xie Yuchen, she feigned surprise, "Oh, Mr. General Manager, need my help ringing the doorbell?"

Xie Yuchen raised his hand to ring the bell, but Jiang Cai Xuan interjected, "Let me do it. If it’s a mistake, it’ll be less awkward."

Xie Yuchen stepped aside, and Jiang Cai Xuan moved forward, her glass wobbling slightly more, spilling some wine onto Xie Yuchen’s suit.
