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

Jiang Ruoxi looked at Li Chengwen, who was stammering, and suddenly stood up. She said in a cold voice, "Mr. Li, I deeply sympathize with your son being beaten last night, but you've been spreading rumors that it was Ye Chenqian. Shouldn't we settle this score?"

"Mr. Li, you can't explain this anymore, can you? This bald man is called Lao Qi, he's Ma Wu's top henchman, Mr. Li, you should be familiar with him, right?"

Ye Chen stood in front of the screen, pointing at the bald man who was attacking Li Mingyuan. Ye Chen spoke calmly, as if chatting normally, but every word pierced Li Chengwen's ears, causing a sharp pain.

Li Chengwen became restless, his expression was no longer as rich as before, and some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Li Chengwen never expected that Ye Chen would be able to find so much evidence proving his alibi in such a short time.

Ma Wu and his gang are so unreliable. They can't even finish this little bit of work properly. Li Chengwen cursed Ma Wu as a stupid pig in his heart.

"Mr. Li, I'm not here today to interrogate you. I just want to tell you something."

Ye Chen turned off the screen mirroring on his phone, turned to Li Chengwen, his expression a mix of stiffness and gentleness with a touch of humor.

Ye Chen walked to Jiang Ruoxi's side, reached out, and naturally put his arm around her shoulder, like an intimate couple.

Jiang Ruoxi was startled by Ye Chen's sudden action. Instead of dodging, she cooperated with Ye Chen, but glanced at him and warned him to stop.

Ye Chen pretended not to see it and continued to say to Li Chengwen with a smile, "Last night, I was with President Jiang the whole time. There are surveillance cameras, witnesses, and dashcams. Your two witnesses are probably going to be wasting their time."

Li Chengwen finally lost his composure. Mainly, Ye Chen's schemes were no longer effective, and seeing Ye Chen so openly embracing Jiang Ruoxi in front of him made Li Chengwen extremely angry.

Ye Chen knew that Li Chengwen had always had feelings for Jiang Ruoxi, so this time he directly hugged her to her face, which was to tell him directly that Jiang Ruoxi belonged to Ye Chen, and he had better not have any ulterior motives.

Li Chengwen put down his teacup, placed his hands on the table, took a deep breath, and put on his kind and benevolent mask again.

"Brother Ye, President Jiang, it seems I misunderstood. I guess my subordinates weren't doing a good job. I'll have this matter re-verified. If it is indeed a misunderstanding, I will personally come to apologize."

"Mr. Li, there's no need for a formal apology. I'll just say one thing: I'm not afraid of business competition. You can use whatever tricks and methods you want. But if you continue to use such underhanded tactics against the people around me, don't blame me for disregarding our long-standing friendship. You know my temper after all these years."

Jiang Ruoxi reverted to her aloof and powerful CEO persona, her voice sharper than before, carrying an undeniable air of authority.

Li Chengwen understood the meaning behind Jiang Ruoxi's words. Having been in Jiangcheng for so long, he knew very well what kind of person Jiang Ruoxi was. In terms of methods, Jiang Ruoxi was no less ruthless than him.

Ye Chen was very satisfied with all of this. He had thwarted Li Chengwen's conspiracy and suppressed his arrogance, achieving multiple goals at once.

Ye Chen felt that the fire had burned out enough; if it continued to burn, it would be charred, and it would be time to leave.

He released his hand from Jiang Ruoxi's shoulder, waved to Li Chengwen, and said goodbye as casually as if to an old friend.

"Mr. Li, we'll take our leave now. Oh, by the way, the pothos in your office is growing well, much more vibrant than the Cymbidium orchid we gave to Mr. Jiang last time. Take good care of it, and don't let it die again."

After saying that, Ye Chen pulled Jiang Ruoxi and turned to leave, leaving Li Chengwen alone in the office, his face turning pale and then red. All his carefully planned schemes had failed in just a few minutes in front of his opponent, which was a great humiliation.

The moment the elevator doors closed, Jiang Ruoxi shook off Ye Chen's hand.

"Ye Chen, did you take advantage of me just now?" Jiang Ruoxi stared intently at Ye Chen, as if she wanted to devour him.

"Wife, I swear to God, I was just standing up for you. You didn't see Li Chengwen's face back then, it looked worse than if he'd swallowed a fly. I knew that old lecher had designs on you, so I did it on purpose."

Ye Chen raised his hands, feigning innocence as he let Jiang Ruoxi vent her anger, but he was secretly delighted.

Jiang Ruoxi thought so too; it was just a matter of putting her arm around someone's shoulder, and she couldn't say that she had taken advantage of anyone. Then she turned her head to look at the floor display screen in the elevator, and Ye Chen saw that Jiang Ruoxi's face had turned red again.

This woman always turns red because she feels guilty, yet she always puts on a cold and aloof expression. She's exactly like her master.

Ye Chen was secretly pleased, but he didn't say anything to avoid being punished by Jiang Ruoxi again. He turned his back to the elevator wall and hummed his off-key folk song.

As the car drove out of Wansheng Group's underground parking lot, Jiang Ruoxi, sitting in the passenger seat, looked at Ye Chen, who seemed completely oblivious to everything, and suddenly asked, "Do you think Li Chengwen will give up now?"

"Wife, of course not, but he'll at least quiet down for a while. And after what happened today, there's bound to be a good show between him and Ma Wu."

"What's the show?"

Jiang Ruoxi asked Ye Chen curiously. Although Ye Chen was usually unreliable, he could analyze things very comprehensively and accurately when it mattered.

"Wife, think about it carefully. If you were Li Chengwen, and Ma Wu failed in his duties, causing you to lose face and reputation, wouldn't you make trouble for Ma Wu?"

"Of course! That scene was so awkward today! I think Li Chengwen's face turned green."

"Furthermore, Ma Wu is the underground tyrant of Jiangcheng. Of course, he doesn't want to be controlled by Li Chengwen. They're evenly matched, fighting like dogs. Wouldn't it be great for us to sit back and watch them fight?"

As Ye Chen spoke, he laughed at himself, revealing a set of white teeth, like a little fox who had stolen a chicken.

Seeing Ye Chen's smug look, Jiang Ruoxi held back for a long time, but finally couldn't help herself and gently tapped Ye Chen on the head.

Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi both felt the same way; their trip to Wansheng Group today was worthwhile.

While the car was waiting at a red light at the intersection, Ye Chen's phone rang. It was a WeChat message from He Jianping.

Ye Chen glanced down at his phone screen, a subtle change in his expression. Jiang Ruoxi keenly noticed this: "Ye Chen, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Minister He said that a group of people just arrived at the company, claiming to be representatives of the Zhou family, a family of ancient martial arts practitioners. They specifically asked to see me and are currently waiting in the company's meeting room."

Ye Chen put away his phone, thinking to himself that he hadn't bothered to contact them, but now that they've come to him, it's saved him a lot of trouble.

"Wife, it seems the trouble isn't over yet. Guess if the Zhou family came to see me—to invite me for tea, or to invite me to a beating?"

Jiang Ruoxi didn't answer him. He seemed to have ill intentions, but she had a bad feeling in her heart that she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Although Jiang Ruoxi didn't understand the ancient martial arts world, she knew that the Zhou family, who had been able to run rampant in Jiangcheng for so many years and no one dared to provoke them, was definitely not a kind person.
