Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

The fact that Li Chengwen's son got into trouble is definitely big news in Jiangcheng.

Ye Chen pondered for a long time, unable to understand why anyone would target a spoiled brat. What would their purpose and meaning be?

Kidnapping for ransom seems unlikely, and revenge is clearly inappropriate in its intensity.

Ye Chen shook the water droplets off his hands and quickly ran to the living room, standing behind the sofa to watch the TV.

The news footage showed a screenshot from a surveillance video, showing a young man lying in a back alley of a bar, his face covered in blood, with broken bottles scattered around him.

The images were blurred, making it impossible to see the faces clearly. The injuries have been treated, but according to the news reports, the person suffered three broken ribs, a fractured left leg, and multiple soft tissue contusions, indicating a very serious injury.

"Wow, the son of Li Chengwen, the president of the prestigious Shengshi Group, got beaten up? That's huge news!"

Jiang Ruoxi stared at the TV screen, sitting up straight. The Crown Prince had been beaten? That was unbelievable! Who did it?

"Honey, this looks real, but who would have the guts to do this?"

Ye Chen walked around to sit next to Jiang Ruoxi, pretending to stroke his chin and think.

The news report stated that Li Mingyuan was attacked when he left the bar. The surveillance cameras in the back alley had been deliberately damaged, so the perpetrator could not be found.

The police's initial assessment is that it was revenge by a rival, but they currently have no clue as to who exactly did it.

"Could it be Li Chengwen's enemy? Wansheng Group has offended quite a few people over the years, so it wouldn't be surprising if someone retaliated against his son."

Jiang Ruoxi's analysis wasn't without merit; there are many cases of people taking revenge on their families these days.

Ye Chen shook his head, his expression somewhat grave: "Wife, it's hard to say, but one thing is strange. Li Chengwen just attacked us a few times, and now his son has been beaten up and hospitalized. Isn't the timing a bit too coincidental?"

"You mean someone is helping us get revenge?"

"Honey, I don't know either. I feel like they're not trying to help us, but rather trying to frame us."

After Ye Chen finished speaking, he stood up, stretched, and resumed his usual carefree and playful demeanor.

"Honey, who cares? It's none of our business anyway. What's meant to be will be. Honey, we should go to work."

Unable to get an answer immediately, Jiang Ruoxi didn't think about it anymore and got up to go upstairs to change her clothes.

Twenty minutes later, the two drove out of the villa.

In the car, Jiang Ruoxi sat in the passenger seat, looking down at her tablet and dealing with emails. Suddenly, without looking up, she said, "Ye Chen, come with me to the mall after get off work today."

"Honey, what are you doing at the mall again? What do you want to buy? I'll run the errand for you."

The last time Ye Chen went shopping with Jiang Ruoxi, he felt extremely tired, and his legs were almost too weak to walk, so he tried to avoid going if possible.

Jiang Ruoxi's finger hovered over the tablet, and then she said softly, "Ye Chen, I'm buying you clothes this time as a reward for your hard work."

Ye Chen was startled upon hearing this, and his hand holding the steering wheel trembled involuntarily. The car swayed on the straight road, which almost made Jiang Ruoxi scream.

"Ye Chen, drive carefully and don't cause an accident."

"Honey, why are you buying clothes again? Didn't you buy several sets last time? Enough to wear for years."

Ye Chen turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ruoxi. Why did this woman suddenly think of buying him clothes again?

"Last time I bought formal wear, but you can't wear a suit every day after get off work, can you? This time I'll buy a few casual pieces that you can wear at home too."

Jiang Ruoxi's tone was calm. She was right. Ye Chen did not have any casual clothes. The ones he had were all brought down from the mountain, which were not worthy of his status as the deputy director of the security department.

Ye Chen switched to his annoying mode again, deliberately dragging out his words: "Wife, just tell me the truth. You're so concerned about my clothes and appearance, could it be that you're actually starting to like me?"

Jiang Ruoxi gave him a cold look, probably wanting to slap him a few times.

"Ye Chen, you really have no shame. Your face is thicker than a city wall. Let me tell you, don't overthink it. I just don't want my company's executives to dress too shabbily and embarrass me. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with you."

"Honey, I'm just a lowly deputy director of the security department. What kind of senior executive am I? Director He is the real senior executive."

Ye Chen immediately refuted Jiang Ruoxi's claim that he was a senior executive of the company.

"Someone else buys He Jianping's clothes, so I don't need to worry about it. Besides, I pay him his full salary for working at the company."

After saying that, Jiang Ruoxi realized that she seemed to have let something slip, so she quickly lowered her head and pretended to continue looking at the tablet, her slightly flushed face unable to hide her embarrassment.

Ye Chen gripped the steering wheel, humming a little tune, his smug smile growing wider.

This woman, though she says she doesn't acknowledge the engagement, her private actions reveal her true thoughts; she actually knows exactly what I mean by "my person."

Ye Chen listened with delight, wondering if he could finally win her over completely in a while.

The carriage was quiet for a few minutes, neither of them spoke, and Jiang Ruoxi was busy fiddling with the tablet computer.

"By the way, honey, about Li Mingyuan's matter, do you want to ask the Ministry of Justice to take a look? That way we can legitimately follow up on the progress."

Ye Chen's words brought the two back to reality, and changing the topic would prevent any awkwardness between them.

"It's already being arranged. I've asked Director Zhou to keep an eye on it so that we can be prepared in advance if the police need our cooperation in their investigation."

"That's good, but I think this matter is probably not that simple. Li Chengwen won't let it go so easily."

"Yeah, I also have a bad feeling, like someone is plotting against us behind our backs."

Jiang Ruoxi looked up at Ye Chen and told him her thoughts. Ye Chen wasn't surprised. A woman's intuition is sometimes very accurate. It seems we really need to be wary of Li Chengwen's revenge.

us?

Ye Chen found the word very pleasant; it was a sign that Jiang Ruoxi had accepted him.

Ye Chen glanced at Jiang Ruoxi out of the corner of his eye and noticed that her hand on her lap was unconsciously gripping the edge of the tablet computer, and her legs were trembling slightly.

Ye Chen knew what Jiang Ruoxi was worried about.

The person behind Li Chengwen has not yet been identified, and there is still a mole lurking in the company. Now, the incident of Li Mingyuan being beaten has occurred. It doesn't seem like a coincidence at all, but rather like someone's careful design.

"Honey, don't be afraid. Don't worry, even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you. Not a hair on your head will be hit, and no one will be able to hurt you in the slightest."

Ye Chen reached out and turned the volume down a bit, his tone casual yet firm, his face full of confidence.

Jiang Ruoxi neither looked at him nor spoke.

After a month of getting to know each other and experiencing some things together, they had become people who had gone through thick and thin together. She trusted Ye Chen from the bottom of her heart, and seeing Ye Chen by her side, her worries unconsciously subsided.
