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

After the farce of demanding back wages came to an end, the main gate of the Jiang Group returned to its usual order.

He Jianping directed the security guards to tidy up the tables, chairs, and food carts, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Ye Chen returned to his office and had just put his feet up on the desk to rest for a while when his phone rang.

It's Jiang Ruoxi.

"Honey, you miss me?" Ye Chen answered the phone with a grin.

"Stop talking nonsense and come to my office." Jiang Ruoxi's voice sounded somewhat serious.

Ye Chen put away his joking thoughts and quickly went upstairs.

Pushing open the door to the CEO's office, Jiang Ruoxi was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a document in her hand, her expression not very good.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen walked over.

Jiang Ruoxi handed him the document: "Take a look at this."

Ye Chen took it and flipped through it; it was an investigation report.

He Jianping sent people to follow the man in work clothes and the female internet celebrity, and through the clues, they found out who was behind them.

"Li Chengwen? It's that old bastard again."

"It's not just him. Li Chengwen also has people in the provincial capital backing him up. Last time you crippled Zhao Jingang and Ghost Hand Luo Ping, people in the provincial capital couldn't sit still."

Ye Chen tossed the report onto the table and casually sat down on the sofa: "Come on then, I've been itching to do this lately anyway."

"Don't take this lightly. Do you know who these people from the provincial capital are?"

"Who?"

"The Qiao family in the provincial capital."

Ye Chen paused in peeling an orange: "The Qiao family? The Qiao family that started in real estate and later ventured into energy and finance?"

"It's them. The Qiao family and Li Chengwen are related by marriage. Li Chengwen's sister married the third son of the Qiao family."

Ye Chen popped a segment of orange into his mouth and chewed it: "No wonder that coward Li Chengwen has been so arrogant lately, it turns out he's latched onto a powerful figure."

Secretary Wang couldn't help but interject, "Minister Ye, the Qiao family has a lot of influence in the provincial capital. It is said that they have many experts under their wing. One of them is called Third Master Qiao, who is very famous in the ancient martial arts circle of the provincial capital. He is known as the one who is invincible in the provincial capital."

"Invincible throughout the provincial capital? That's because he hasn't met me yet."

Jiang Ruoxi glared at him: "Can't you be serious for once? I'm talking to you about serious matters."

"I'm talking about serious matters, honey. Think about it, the Qiao family is so powerful, why don't they just step forward themselves instead of letting that coward Li Chengwen run around like that?"

Jiang Ruoxi was taken aback.

"Because they don't know my strengths and weaknesses. Zhao Jingang is a master of external martial arts, but I broke his skill with one punch. Ghost Hand Luo Ping practiced Eagle Claw Kung Fu for forty years, but I crippled his martial arts with one move. How could the Qiao family not be wary?"

He turned around and smiled confidently at Jiang Ruoxi: "So they sent Li Chengwen to test me, and found a group of thugs to harass the Jiang Group, just to see how capable I really am and whether I have any other forces backing me up."

Jiang Ruoxi nodded thoughtfully: "You mean, they won't dare to act rashly for the time being?"

"They won't dare until they figure out my strength. But sooner or later, they'll get restless. That idiot Li Chengwen has been slapped in the face by me time and time again. He must be jumping up and down in a panic now. The more anxious he is, the more likely he is to make a mistake. We can just wait and watch the show."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Ye Chen's phone rang again.

This time it was He Jianping who called.

"Minister Ye, the man in overalls has woken up and said he wants to see you. He said he's willing to reveal who's behind it all, but on one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

He said he would only talk to you.

Ye Chen hung up the phone and stood up: "Wife, I'm going to meet that guy in work clothes. Maybe I can get some useful information out of him."

"Be careful," Jiang Ruoxi cautioned.

"Don't worry, what trouble can a defeated opponent cause?" Ye Chen waved his hand and strode out of the office.

The Jiang Group's security department is located on the basement floor, next to a small room that is usually used to store miscellaneous items, but today it has been temporarily converted into an interrogation room.

The man in overalls was tied to a chair, his face covered in bruises from being beaten by Ye Chen.

However, compared to the blow to his chest, these superficial injuries are nothing.

Ye Chen pulled up a chair and sat down opposite him, crossed his legs, and looked at him with a smile without saying a word.

The silence lasted for about two minutes before the man in overalls finally couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up: "Minister Ye, I... I'm willing to confess, but you have to agree to one condition."

Tell me about it.

"After I confess, you can't make things difficult for my family. My wife and children know nothing..." The man in overalls pleaded in his voice.

Ye Chen's smile faded, and he looked at the man in work clothes seriously: "Don't worry, I, Ye Chen, have principles. I won't let your family suffer. As long as you tell the truth, I will not only not make things difficult for your family, but I will also give you some money for medical expenses."

The man in overalls breathed a sigh of relief, gritted his teeth, as if he had made a huge decision: "Li Chengwen sent us. He gave us 500,000 yuan and told us to pretend to be migrant workers demanding unpaid wages and cause trouble. He also said..."

"What else is there to say?"

"They also said that if we were arrested, we should insist that we were instructed by someone, but we couldn't say that the person instructing us was him. They told us to say... that it was a man called 'Sixth Brother,' who was a middleman in the provincial capital."

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes: "Who is Sixth Brother?"

"I don't know, I really don't know," the man in overalls shook his head repeatedly.

"Li Chengwen just told us to say that if anything goes wrong, someone in the provincial capital will step in to smooth things over."

"The Qiao family of the provincial capital?"

The man in overalls's expression changed: "You...how did you know?"

Ye Chen smiled and stood up: "I guessed."

The man in overalls felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Ye Chen's smile.

He had already experienced Ye Chen's methods firsthand; when that palm struck his chest, he truly thought he was going to die.

"Minister Ye, I've told you everything I know. Are you...?" The man in overalls looked at Ye Chen cautiously.

"Don't worry, I keep my word. Minister He will make the arrangements later."

As Ye Chen stepped out of the small room, his expression darkened.

That old bastard Li Chengwen has come to cause trouble time and time again. Does he really think he's a pushover that can be bullied at will?

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, Master, it's me."

A hoarse but robust voice came from the other end of the phone: "You brat, it's been so long since you came down the mountain and you only just remembered to call your master? How are you doing in the city?"

"It's alright, just encountered some trouble."

"What trouble? With your skills, how many people in this mortal world can be your match?"

Ye Chen briefly recounted the events surrounding the Qiao family.

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by a cold snort: "The Qiao family of the provincial capital? A small secular family dares to bully my disciple? Should I go down the mountain and demolish their ancestral home?"

"No, no, no, Master, you should stay on the mountain and enjoy your retirement. I can handle this little thing myself."

"Then you can decide for yourself. If it really doesn't work out, just call your master. By the way, how are things going with that girl? When are you going to let your master hold your grand-disciple?"

Ye Chen was both amused and exasperated: "Master, let's talk about serious matters."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen went back upstairs.

Jiang Ruoxi was waiting for him. Seeing his pale face, she asked, "What did you find out?"

Ye Chen recounted what the man in work clothes had told him.

Jiang Ruoxi frowned even more after hearing this: "It really is Li Chengwen, but we can't get any substantial evidence. Li Chengwen can completely deny it."

"No evidence is needed. He likes to play dirty tricks, so I'll play along with him."

Ye Chen said coldly.

"What do you want to do?" Jiang Ruoxi asked nervously.

"Give them a taste of their own medicine. Don't worry, honey, I know what I'm doing and won't cause you any trouble."

Ye Chen suddenly reverted to his carefree, grinning self.

"Be careful, the Qiao family is not to be trifled with," Jiang Ruoxi said softly.

Ye Chen walked up to her and looked earnestly into her eyes: "Wife, I promised to protect you. No matter if it's the Qiao family or the Li family, if anyone dares to touch a hair on your head or the Jiang Group, I'll make them regret it."
