However, upon walking into the office.
Seeing Bai Wanyi and Tang Yu together, his eyes instantly locked onto Tang Yu.
This bastard.
Why is he with Bai Wanyi?
Noticing Ye Chen's gaze, Tang Yu gave a dry cough and pretended not to see him.
[Why are you staring at me, brother? Do you think I'm here to steal Bai Wanyi from you?]
[Damn stallion, you think every beautiful woman in the world belongs to you, right?]
Bai Wanyi raised an eyebrow and turned around to glare fiercely at Tang Yu.
What is this guy muttering about again?
Then, she looked at Ye Chen and asked, "What is it? Are you here to file a report?"
"No."
Ye Chen's expression turned slightly awkward, and he gave a bitter smile.
"I'm here to visit a friend of mine. He was arrested by you people."
[Haha, a murderer friend of mine.]
Tang Yu gloated silently from the side.
"Who is your friend?"
After hearing Tang Yu's inner voice.
The small amount of goodwill Bai Wanyi had for Ye Chen vanished completely.
Someone who hangs out with criminals—what could they be other than trash?
Seeing the cold look in Bai Wanyi's eyes, Ye Chen felt like he was about to cough up blood internally.
He said with some frustration, "His name is Long Ya."
As a master of picking up women.
He naturally knew that his behavior today was a major taboo and would easily invite Bai Wanyi's disgust.
But with Long Ya in trouble, as the leader of the Dragon Soul Organization, he couldn't just ignore it.
If this matter wasn't handled well, Long Ya would be reincarnated, for heaven's sake.
How would the members of the organization view him then?
He returned to Huaxia and hadn't accomplished a single thing, only to send a brother off to serve the Buddha?
Sure enough.
After hearing the name Long Ya, Bai Wanyi's impression of Ye Chen plummeted to the bottom.
She looked at Ye Chen with an unfriendly expression and said, "What is your relationship with him? He is currently a criminal suspect."
"He is my employee; I am the boss of the Longchen Group."
Ye Chen had no choice but to reveal his identity.
Bai Wanyi, however, was not shocked by this; she had no interest in such power or status.
Even if the Emperor of Heaven himself came, he would still have to follow the rules.
She said in a cold tone.
"The nature of his crimes is quite severe. He is not accepting visitors at the moment, so you should go back."
Ye Chen became anxious upon hearing this.
He pointed at Tang Yu and said, "Officer Bai, I need to explain something to you. If Long Ya really broke the law, I would be the first to step forward and report him."
"But he is innocent in this matter. He only took over the Mingyue Hotel a few days ago."
"The previous owner of the Mingyue Hotel is this Young Master Tang; he is the one you should be arresting."
Tang Yu widened his eyes, puzzled.
"What does that have to do with me? I wasn't involved. Officer Bai has already finished the investigation, and I am innocent."
[Damn it, what does this have to do with me?]
[You idiot Dragon King, don't you dare try to pin the blame on me. I didn't kill anyone at that hotel.]
[If anyone should be arrested, it's you. A lecher like you only makes the rice more expensive by existing.]
[Damn, come to think of it, they are on the same side. I hope this annoying woman Bai Wanyi doesn't actually help frame me, right?]
After hearing Tang Yu's inner voice.
Bai Wanyi really wanted to beat this bastard up.
What did he mean by her being on the same side as him?
She had only known him for a short while, okay?
Framing an innocent person was something she would never do, even if it killed her.
She glared at Ye Chen indignantly and said, "I don't need you to teach me how to do my job. Right now, the legal representative and person in charge of the hotel is Long Ya, so he is the one I am arresting."
"Since you are his boss, that means Mingyue Hotel is your property, which is perfect—you can prepare to be investigated as well."
Ye Chen's face turned green with rage. What kind of logic was this?
To hide his identity, he wasn't the legal representative or a shareholder of Longchen Group, was he?
If it weren't for the fact that he had chosen her to be part of his harem.
Ye Chen really wanted to give her a slap across the face right now to teach her a lesson.
His women only needed to be obedient to him.
What was the use of something like integrity?
[Holy crap, is this plot not going the right way?]
[It seems like Bai Wanyi doesn't like him?]
[That's not right. By now, Ye Chen should have already maxed out her favorability.]
[This guy specifically went to catch a pickpocket to manufacture their first meeting.]
[He even went to buy a bag of plastic bottles, claiming he was helping an old scavenger woman carry them.]
[After these two waves of favorability farming, Bai Wanyi should be screaming in her heart that she's in love with him.]
[Heh, the plot must have collapsed again. Awesome. Hurry up and arrest him, Officer Bai.]
[For a "prison-bound" man like him, it would be a pity if he didn't go inside.]
Tang Yu was lurking on the side, eating popcorn, wishing he could cheer them on to start a fight.
People have their joys and sorrows, and the "oxen and horses" add flavor to life.
As expected, one must use magic to defeat magic.
Bai Wanyi's eyes turned gloomy.
Even their initial encounter was deliberately manufactured by this guy named Ye Chen?
This man.
He was truly disgusting.
"Officer Bai, I can cooperate with your investigation. The innocent will clear themselves."
"However, the person you should really be investigating thoroughly is this Young Master Tang. I suspect he maliciously sold the hotel at a low price to frame my friend."
"The valuation of Mingyue Hotel should be around twenty billion, yet he sold it to Long Ya for five billion. This is the best evidence."
Ye Chen suppressed his anger and pointed at Tang Yu, speaking with righteous indignation.
[Damn, you animal, can you have any shame?]
[If you hadn't sent Long Ya to cause trouble at my hotel, would I have sold it so cheaply?]
[Come to think of it, Long Ya used a human life to frame me; you deserve at least eighty-nine percent of the credit, don't you?]
Just as Tang Yu was about to retort, Bai Wanyi spoke first.
"Can't he afford it because his family is rich? He bought the hotel just to confess to his girlfriend."
Ye Chen was so angry he started trembling, his hands and feet turning cold in the middle of the hot summer...
He recalled that humiliating scene in the hotel that day once again.
Bai Wanyi snorted coldly, no longer saying anything to Ye Chen.
After listening to his inner voice for so long, she had already concluded that Ye Chen was definitely not a good bird.
If the hotel murder case had anything to do with him.
Then she wouldn't mind arresting him herself and sending him to prison!
She turned her head to look at Tang Yu and said softly, "Tang Yu, thank you for cooperating with the investigation today. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest. Let me treat you to a meal next time."
After listening to his inner voice for a while, she had already determined that Tang Yu was innocent.
Moreover, he had emailed her the moment he discovered the criminal clues.
What did this mean?
It meant he believed she was worthy of unconditional trust! Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed such important clues over to her.
Being trusted by someone was truly a very happy thing.
"Huh?"
Tang Yu looked completely bewildered.
[Holy crap, what is going on with you? Why are you suddenly being so gentle with me?]
[Stop it, don't be so kind to me.]
[This isn't like you, calm down, where the hell is your fiery temper?]
Beside them, the veins on Ye Chen's forehead were already bulging.
Bai Wanyi, how could she be so gentle toward this guy?
Yet toward him, she was as cold as if she were looking at an enemy?
He stared at Tang Yu with venomous eyes, his heart filled with towering hatred.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open from the outside.
An extremely beautiful woman walked in, followed by bodyguards and lawyers.
The person who walked in was none other than Su Muyue.
Seeing Su Muyue enter, Ye Chen, who had been full of anger just a moment ago, instantly felt his mood improve.
He even felt a little touched.
This girl, she claimed to be keeping her distance from him.
But when he was truly in trouble, she still came.
She was truly the woman he had set his sights on.
He curled his lips into a wicked smile and said, "Muyue, you came..."
"Are you alright?"
Before he could finish, Su Muyue walked up to Tang Yu and asked with soft concern.
If you can't find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has just been changed!
