You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

The Ye family's private estate is located on the mountainside of Yunwu Mountain, the most scenic spot in Jiangcheng.

This place is more like a heavily guarded modern castle than a manor. A huge artificial lake surrounds the main building, and even the blue mosaic at the bottom of the pool is said to be a glass artwork made in Italy.

The afternoon sun shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting shimmering light on the azure, heated swimming pool, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Lin Chen lay there unceremoniously on a top-of-the-line leather lounge chair by the pool, wearing only beach shorts, with a straw in his mouth, leisurely sipping a glass of chilled juice.

If it weren't for his hands, wrapped in thick gauze like two rice dumplings, ruining the leisurely scene, he would have looked like a top-tier rich second-generation on vacation.

A faint, lingering fragrance wafted by.

Lin Chen didn't even lift his eyelids, but he already knew who it was.

Ye Qingcheng was wearing a soft silk bathrobe, the belt around her waist loosely tied, revealing a small patch of her fair and delicate collarbone and her long, straight calves.

Her long, wet hair was casually draped over her shoulders, and her usually icy face, now without makeup, exuded a languid charm.

She slowly walked to Lin Chen's side, without saying a word, just standing quietly.

Her gaze fell on Lin Chen's hands, which were wrapped in bandages.

A trace of blood was faintly seeping from the edge of the gauze.

Lin Chen had accidentally aggravated his wound while trying to open a bottle of cola himself.

Ye Qingcheng's eyes darkened, and her clear, cold phoenix eyes surged with undisguised heartache and guilt.

This man used these very hands to snatch her back from the clutches of death.

"Does it hurt?"

She finally spoke, her voice very soft, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

"good."

Lin Chen smacked his lips, looking completely indifferent.

"He won't die."

Ye Qingcheng did not ask any further questions.

She knew that this man would never show vulnerability in front of her.

She silently bent down and took something out of the Hermès Birkin bag, worth six figures, on the low table next to her.

It was a card.

A metal card that is completely black, without any numbers, except for a mysterious totem stamped in the center.

Centurion Black Card.

Legend has it that this top-tier credit card can make airplanes turn around and trains stop running.

The next second, Ye Qingcheng made a move that Lin Chen had not expected.

Without saying a word, she grabbed Lin Chen's still relatively intact arm and forcibly stuffed the cold black card into his hand.

"This is my supplementary card; there is no credit limit."

Ye Qingcheng's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable queenly aura.

"Just swipe it."

Lin Chen held the thin card in his hand, yet it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

He could even feel the special temperature emanating from the card, a temperature that was both cold and intensely hot, belonging to money.

Wow, is this the legendary power of money?

Indeed, it was simple, unadorned, and rather dull.

However, this is not the end.

Seeing Lin Chen's slightly surprised expression, Ye Qingcheng curled her red lips slightly and continued to raise the stakes.

"To express my sincerest gratitude, and also for my future safety."

"I have decided to hand over the authority to review the security operations of all subsidiaries, industries, and projects under the Yip Group to you."

"From now on, you will have the final say on which security company to use, what security equipment to buy, and who to hire for the entire Ye Group."

Lin Chen was truly shocked this time.

He suddenly sat up in the recliner, looking at Ye Qingcheng in disbelief.

This is no longer about money!

What a massive business empire the Yip Group is!

This is practically equivalent to handing over half the lifeline of the group to him!

Is this woman crazy?

Just as Lin Chen was about to refuse this extremely hot "thank you gift"...

"Miss!"

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler came running up, panting, his face full of trouble.

"Officer Su from the Municipal Public Security Bureau has arrived."

She said there was urgent business related to the 'Joker' case and she needed to see Advisor Lin immediately.

Before he could finish speaking...

A series of rapid and forceful footsteps approached from afar.

The next second, a sleek and graceful figure stormed onto the poolside.

The person who arrived was none other than Su Qingge.

She took off her police uniform and changed into a simple white T-shirt and tight jeans, but she still couldn't hide her incredibly hot figure and the icy aura that kept strangers at bay.

When her gaze swept across the entire room, it finally settled on the scene by the pool.

Her eyes instantly turned sharp as knives.

Just now, in order to give Lin Chen a card, Ye Qingcheng's entire upper body was almost pressed against Lin Chen's body, and the posture was too intimate to be true.

In Su Qingge's eyes, this was clearly blatant seduction!

"Mr. Ye."

Su Qingge gave a cold laugh, her voice even colder than the pool water.

"Advisor Lin is injured and needs to rest. Please respect yourself."

Ye Qingcheng slowly straightened up, the belt of her bathrobe tightening unintentionally, perfectly outlining her breathtaking waist and hip curves.

She regained her queenly aura and glanced at Su Qingge indifferently.

"Officer Su, this is my private residence."

"I'm taking care of my savior, is there a problem?"

"My savior?"

Su Qingge gritted her teeth, took long strides, and walked step by step to the two of them.

"He's also a criminal investigation consultant for the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, and my colleague!"

"There's an important case that needs him right now, and I've been ordered to bring him back to the station!"

"His injuries haven't healed yet."

Ye Qingcheng refused to budge an inch and confronted her head-on.

"I'm not going anywhere."

Two equally stunning women, each with an equally powerful aura, stared at each other.

There seemed to be invisible electricity crackling in the air.

Lin Chen was caught in the middle, and felt his scalp tingle.

This is hardly a pool party.

This is clearly an execution site!

He coughed lightly, trying to break the suffocating atmosphere and play the peacemaker.

"Um... cough cough, how about... I go back to the police station first?"

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

Two cold, angry voices rang out in unison.

Lin Chen shrank back, instantly falling silent and trembling.

In the end, Su Qingge's skills were superior.

She immediately pulled out her trump card.

"Lin Chen, there are still many details in the 'Joker' case that require your personal statement. This is procedure, and it must be followed!"

This reason is irrefutable.

Ye Qingcheng's expression changed slightly, but she couldn't refute it.

Su Qingge stepped forward, ignoring Ye Qingcheng, grabbed Lin Chen's arm, and half-forcefully pulled him up from the recliner, her actions domineering as if she were asserting her dominance.

"Come with me."

Lin Chen was dragged along by her, staggering as he walked out. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn back and give Ye Qingcheng a helpless look.

Just as he brushed past Ye Qingcheng.

Ye Qingcheng suddenly leaned close to his ear and whispered something in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Keep the card safe."

"Come find me anytime."

Su Qingge caught this scene clearly out of the corner of her eye.

She gripped Lin Chen's arm tightly in an instant.

Lin Chen gasped in pain.

next second.

Su Qingge practically dragged Lin Chen along, rushing out of the manor without looking back.

With a deafening roar of its engine, the unassuming police Volkswagen, like a wildcat whose tail had been stepped on, sped off with the speed of a supercar.
