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

"It's absolutely true, Director Zhou, it's really true. I may be a bit unreliable sometimes, but I'm quite serious when it matters, right, President Jiang?"

Ye Chen's words were quite close to his reality.

"Director Zhou, I've already asked Secretary Wang to check the surveillance footage. Also, I can provide the police with the entry and exit records for my garage. Ye Chen was with me all night; he simply didn't have time to commit the crime. Besides, Ye Chen never sneaks around when he hits people, does he?"

Jiang Ruoxi said this without changing her expression, but Ye Chen was secretly delighted.

"Ye Chen stayed with me all night." Why does it sound so pleasant coming from the mouth of a cold and aloof female CEO?

Director Zhou's tense face finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face: "That's good, that's good. With this alibi, no matter how much Li Chengwen talks, it won't work. I'll go and communicate with the police right away and try to clear Vice Minister Ye's name as soon as possible."

"Director Zhou, there's no rush."

Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand to stop him.

Zhou Zheng and Jiang Ruoxi both looked at him at the same time, their eyes filled with doubt.

"President Jiang, since Li Chengwen dared to frame me, he must have known I wasn't there. He did this not to actually imprison me, but to distract us."

Ye Chen stood up, cleared his throat, and said very seriously, "I feel like he's trying to distract us and take the opportunity to do something else."

"Minister Ye means they took advantage of our dealings with the police investigation to launch an attack from other angles..."

Ye Chen nodded, agreeing with Director Zhou's opinion.

After Ye Chen's brief explanation, Jiang Ruoxi immediately understood what he meant.

"That bastard's goal is the new energy project. Tomorrow is the final negotiation date for signing the contract with the provincial energy group. If I get bogged down in Li Chengwen's mess today, the signing will definitely be affected."

"That's right, so we can't be affected by anything."

Ye Chen nodded, whistling, and resumed his smug look.

"President Jiang, leave the police matter to me and Director Zhou. You should go about your business and not let Li Chengwen lead you by the nose..."

A fierce glint flashed in Ye Chen's eyes; this time, he was truly angry.

"President Jiang, once I find him, I'll definitely thank him properly. After all, he's quite clever to come up with such a way to disgust my opponent."

Jiang Ruoxi looked at Ye Chen, a man who was usually carefree and always joking around, but once he got serious, his thinking was clearer and his reactions were faster than anyone else's.

Li Chengwen's meticulously designed trap was like a clumsy magic trick in his eyes; all the tricks were seen through at a glance.

What exactly did Ye Chen learn in the mountains? And what kind of place is Medicine King Valley?

Zhou Zheng packed up the documents, stood up and said goodbye: "President Jiang, Vice Minister Ye, I'll go deal with the police matters first. Vice Minister Ye, if the police come to question you, don't answer them alone. Wait until I arrive before cooperating with the investigation."

"No problem, thank you for your hard work, Director Zhou."

After Zhou Zheng left, only Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi remained in the office.

Ye Chen turned around, walked back to the sofa and sat down, reverting to his usual carefree demeanor.

"Honey, how did I do today? Did I do you a big favor again?"

Jiang Ruoxi didn't scold him with a stern face as usual. Instead, she picked up the coffee cup in front of her and took a sip.

"Ye Chen, do you already have someone you suspect?"

"This woman's intuition is too accurate," he muttered to himself.

Although he didn't name names when he said those words by the window, a name did indeed come to mind.

"Wife, your ability to read people is even better than the hunting dogs in our mountains."

Ye Chen gave Jiang Ruoxi a thumbs-up in an exaggerated manner.

Jiang Ruoxi glared at Ye Chen fiercely: "Ye Chen, you're the dog."

"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right. I'm a dog, the loyal kind, dedicated to protecting my wife." Ye Chen grinned and leaned closer.

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business. Who exactly do you suspect?"

Jiang Ruoxi pushed the coffee cup in front of Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's smile faded, and he tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table twice before uttering two words.

"Ma Wu".

Jiang Ruoxi looked incredulous: "Impossible, right? You beat me up so badly last time, how dare you?"

"Last time in the parking lot, I had Ma Wu cripple Zhou Tianhao's hand. Ma Wu appeared obedient, but he's the underground emperor of Jiangcheng. How could he possibly swallow the insult of being slapped in front of his subordinates by an outsider?"

"He knew he wouldn't gain anything by confronting me head-on, so he came up with this underhanded trick: injuring Li Mingyuan and framing me, using Li Chengwen to get revenge on me. It's a two-birds-with-one-stone plan. If it works, I'll be badly hurt even if I don't die; if it doesn't, he'll get away with it cleanly. Either way, he'll be fine."

Ye Chen picked up the coffee cup, took a sip, and frowned at the bitterness, quickly putting it down.

"However, he overlooked one thing: he didn't know that I was with you the whole night."

Jiang Ruoxi leaned back on the sofa, crossed her arms, and fell into deep thought.

"If it really is Ma Wu, does the Zhou family know about this? Ma Wu's relationship with the Zhou family is quite unusual."

"It's hard to say. Zhou Tianhao lost one of his hands to Ma Wu, so the relationship between the two families must be quite delicate now. However, given Zhou Chengde's cunning nature, he will probably pretend not to know and sit on the sidelines to watch the two fight. He'll wait until we and Li Chengwen are both badly injured before he comes out to take advantage of the situation."

Ye Chen was speaking when his phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He took it out and saw it was a WeChat message from He Jianping, containing only one short line:

"Brother Ye, there's news from the bar. Last night, an eyewitness saw that before Li Mingyuan was beaten, he had a conflict with a bald, burly man. The bald man's appearance is exactly the same as Lao Qi, one of Ma Wu's men."

Ye Chen turned his phone screen towards Jiang Ruoxi.

After reading the message, Jiang Ruoxi let out a soft breath, unsure whether she felt relieved or her mood became even heavier.

"Looks like you guessed right. So what's the next step? Go straight to the police station to report it?"

Ye Chen shook his head, put his phone back in his pocket, stood up, straightened his collar, and put on his signature nonchalant smile again.

"No rush. Since he wants to frame someone, we'll play along and do something big. He wants to use someone else to do his dirty work, right? I'll show him what it means to lift a rock only to drop it on your own foot."

He reached out his hand to Jiang Ruoxi: "Wife, let's go."

Jiang Ruoxi looked up at him: "Where are we going?"

"Of course it's Wansheng Group. Let's go visit Chairman Li Chengwen, who is heartbroken."

Jiang Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then quickly put on a stern face, reverting to her cold and dignified demeanor as the CEO.

"Ye Chen, are you sure this isn't just walking into a trap?"

"Walking into a trap? Honey, you overestimate Li Chengwen."

Ye Chen opened the office door, gestured for him to enter, and moved with the elegance of a five-star hotel doorman.

"His net is too small to contain my dragon."
