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

When Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi arrived at the company, they both sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.

People were consciously or unconsciously avoiding looking at Ye Chen.

The two young women at the front desk huddled together and whispered to each other. When they saw Jiang Ruoxi come in, they immediately stood up straight, followed by a template smile and greeting.

Inside the elevator, the employees who were usually nervous in the presence of Jiang Ruoxi appeared even more flustered, and their greetings were more cautious than usual.

Ye Chen saw all of this but remained silent.

The elevator quickly reached the thirtieth floor. As soon as Ye Chen stepped out of the elevator, he saw He Jianping, who was heavily pregnant, running towards him. His forehead was covered in sweat, as if he had just run a five-kilometer race.

"Brother Ye, you've finally arrived!" He Jianping said in a low voice, pulling Ye Chen's arm as they walked towards the office.

"Brother, this is terrible! Something awful has happened! Something terrible has happened!"

Ye Chen had known He Jianping for so long, and he had never seen him so anxious before.

"Minister He, what's got you in such a hurry? Has the sky fallen or the earth collapsed?"

Ye Chen sensed something was off as soon as he entered the company gate. He Jianping was pulling him along mysteriously, making him stumble a little.

He Jianping closed the door to Ye Chen's office and even locked it from the inside before turning around, taking out a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiping the sweat from his face.

"Brother Ye, did you see the news this morning? You probably know about Li Mingyuan's situation, right?"

"This is big news in Jiangcheng. Everyone in Jiangcheng knows. Li Chengwen's son was beaten and hospitalized. It's been on the news. What's the problem?"

Ye Chen walked leisurely to the sofa and sat down. He casually picked up a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and tossed another bottle to He Jianping.

He Jianping leaned close to Ye Chen's ear, his voice extremely low, as if afraid of being overheard: "Brother Ye, this is big news in itself, but the key is that this big news is related to Ye Chen of the Jiang Group! Li Chengwen has released information, insisting that you were the one who did it!"

Pfft!

Ye Chen couldn't hold back and spat out the water he was holding in his mouth, almost spraying He Jianping's face.

"I did it? You really mean that?"

"Yes! It broke out early this morning. I have a fellow villager working in the legal department of Wansheng Group, and he secretly told me about this. He said that when Li Mingyuan was beaten up in the back alley of the bar last night, he was beaten so badly that it was unbearable to watch. Apparently, some passersby heard someone calling your name, and Li Chengwen has already reported it to the police. The police are expected to come to the company to question you this morning."

Ye Chen adjusted his body slightly, put his feet on the coffee table, and smiled.

This is really interesting!

The fact that the son of the president of Wansheng Group was beaten is really big news!

They even claimed that it was Ye Chen who hit him; that's even more interesting.

Last night, he stayed at the Jiang family's old house to have dinner with the old man. After dinner, he taught Zhou Tianhao a lesson on Kapok Avenue, and then went home to sleep.

Jiang Ruoxi and the old man were witnesses throughout the entire process, so he had a perfect alibi. How could he have done it? Besides, he didn't even know who Li Mingyuan was.

If this is true, then he is even more wronged than Dou E.

For Ye Chen, this is not important right now. The important question is: who injured Li Mingyuan and then framed him?

"Brother Ye, you wouldn't really..." He Jianping saw that he didn't speak and felt a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Minister He, do you think I'm the kind of person who sneaks into a bar's back alley in the middle of the night to ambush someone? When do I need to hide when I'm going to beat someone up?"

"That's right, Brother Ye, you always beat people up openly and honestly, you don't need to hide anything."

"Which bastard is framing me?" Ye Chen scratched his head and muttered to himself.

"Brother Ye, this matter has caused quite a stir. That old fox Li Chengwen will definitely not let it go. Even if it turns out that you didn't do it, this period of time will still be enough to make us feel disgusted for a while."

Ye Chen nodded. There was no good solution at the moment; the only way to solve the problem was to find the culprit.

Li Chengwen's move was undeniably vicious.

Even if Ye Chen is ultimately proven innocent, the Jiang Group's reputation will still be affected during this period.

More importantly, this incident will distract Jiang Ruoxi from the new energy project, giving her rivals an opportunity to exploit the situation.

"Minister He, please help me find out which bar Li Mingyuan got into trouble at last night, as well as the people who came in and out of the bar, and the situation in the vicinity. The more details the better."

"It's already under investigation. I've sent a few of my smartest guys to stake out that bar. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Ye Chen gave He Jianping a thumbs up; an employee like that must be very popular with the boss.

"Brother Ye, I saw Director Zhou from the Legal Department come over this morning. He should be in President Jiang's office now."

Zhou Zheng? What's he doing here?

"Minister He, I need to go upstairs and take a look. We need to get that matter done as soon as possible."

Ye Chen pushed open the door to the president's office. Zhou Zheng, the director of the legal department, and Jiang Ruoxi were sitting on the sofa in the reception area, both with very serious expressions.

"Ye Chen, you've come at the right time. The director is analyzing the potential legal risks of this matter."

Jiang Ruoxi looked up at him and gestured for Ye Chen to sit down.

Zhou Zheng pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his tone somewhat heavy: "Vice Minister Ye, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. Li Mingyuan's injury assessment has come out: three ribs are fractured and his left tibia is fractured, which is classified as a minor injury of level two or above. If the case is filed as intentional injury, he could be sentenced to up to three years in prison."

"Damn, it's not that serious? Just a few broken ribs and a minor fracture. This guy didn't know how to do it properly. If it were me, he would have been bedridden for at least a year and a half."

"Mr. Jiang, what just happened wasn't the most troublesome part. The most troublesome part is that there are no security cameras in the back alley of the bar. Two witnesses testified that they heard the assailant call your name. Although the credibility of their testimonies still needs to be verified by the police, your freedom of movement may be restricted to some extent during the investigation."

Ye Chen leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and struck a nonchalant pose: "Director Zhou, may I ask what time Li Chengwen called the police?"

Zhou Zheng didn't know Ye Chen's intentions, but he still looked through the information: "1:15 a.m., according to the police call record."

"So, what was the exact time Li Mingyuan was beaten?"

"Based on forensic examination, it is determined that it occurred between 8 PM and 10 PM last night."

Ye Chen stroked his chin, pretending to ponder a problem, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "President Jiang, what was I doing between eight and ten o'clock?"

"Oh, right, you were having dinner with Grandpa at that time, and then we drove back together. The servants at the Jiang family's old house and I can testify to that, and the traffic surveillance cameras along the way also recorded Ye Chen driving the vehicle."

"Yes, I have a perfect alibi. Li Chengwen is mistaken if he thinks he can frame me with this."

Zhou Zheng's eyes lit up, and he asked again, half-believing, half-doubting, "Really?"
