58: I surrender! I confess!

Zhao Yuan: "..."

Damn it!

So this kid called the police a long time ago!

Damn it, no wonder he advised me to betray them... Before he could think further, uniformed police officers filed in.

Li Yao, leading The Group, strode forward and roared, "Everyone! Hands on your heads! Squat down!"

The roar echoed through the lobby.

However... before he finished speaking, his gaze swept across the scene, and his movements suddenly froze.

The anticipated scene of chaotic fighting did not appear.

Instead, black-clad strong men lay scattered across the floor, groaning and moaning, with knives and clubs strewn everywhere.

And the people standing were Ye Chen and his group, who had called the police.

Li Yao: "???"

The police officers behind him also froze on the spot, looking at each other.

What's going on?

Didn't they say a large group from the Azure Dragon Society was attacking Shuyue Group with weapons?

Why does it look like... they were unilaterally cleaned up?

"Brother!"

Li Qin was the first to react, waving cheerfully, "You're just in time! The main culprits and accomplices are all here, not one escaped!"

Li Yao's mouth twitched slightly as he walked up to Ye Chen.

"Brother-in-law, what's the situation?"

Ye Chen smiled, "President Zhao and his friends were quite enthusiastic and insisted on sparring, so I just helped them stretch their muscles."

Stretching their muscles... Li Yao looked at the black-clad men groaning on the ground, then glanced at the calm and composed Ye Chen, momentarily speechless.

This 'stretching' was quite thorough; almost no one could get up... He took a deep breath, turned to the ashen-faced Zhao Yuan, and his tone turned cold: "Zhao Yuan, gathering a mob with weapons to attack a legitimate enterprise, the evidence is conclusive. What do you have to say?"

Zhao Yuan was utterly disheartened at this moment.

But Ye Chen's earlier words about 'leniency for confession' began to echo in his mind.

Returning to the Azure Dragon Society would mean certain death.

Going to prison... perhaps he could still live.

If he could even 'render meritorious service'... He suddenly looked up: "I surrender! I confess! I admit to what happened today!"

Li Yao raised an eyebrow.

So straightforward?

Before he could speak, Zhao Yuan impatiently continued.

"Not just today! The things I did for the Azure Dragon Society before..."

"Smuggling, transactions, assault... I know some things! I'm willing to confess everything! As long as... you can protect me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present was astonished.

Ye Chen even raised an eyebrow.

He had just bluffed casually, never expecting Zhao Yuan's psychological defenses to collapse so completely that he actually intended to become a 'tainted witness'... A glint flashed in Li Yao's eyes, and he immediately signaled his subordinates: "Cuff him! Detain him separately! Protect him closely!"

Two police officers stepped forward, took Zhao Yuan, and cuffed him away.

The remaining black-clad men were also successively escorted away.

Li Yao directed his colleagues to clear the scene, collect evidence, and comfort The Group's employees.

Afterward.

He walked over to Ye Chen and the two others and said, "Brother-in-law, you've rendered great service again this time. If Zhao Yuan really speaks, many of the Azure Dragon Society's shady dealings can be unraveled by following the clues."

Ye Chen smiled.

"Coincidence, purely a coincidence."

"Mainly, Zhao Yuan has high awareness."

Li Qin covered her mouth, stifling a laugh.

Bing Lan nodded slightly: "Captain Li, Shu Yue will do its best to cooperate with any future needs."

"President Bing, rest assured, we will handle the procedural matters." Li Yao said sternly, "Also, the Azure Dragon Society suffered a huge loss this time, Zhao Tiangang will definitely not let it go, you must be careful!"

It was hard for him not to know about what was happening online.

Precisely because he knew, he was worried.

How could a giant like them let go after being slapped in the face like this?

Ye Chen nodded: "Understood, thanks, Brother Li."

"Alright, I'll be busy now. Contact me anytime if anything comes up." Li Yao patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

After the police had taken everyone away, the lobby gradually returned to order, and employees began to clean up the mess under administrative arrangements.

Ye Chen and the two others returned to the top floor office.

As soon as the door closed.

Li Qin bounced onto the sofa and let out a long sigh: "That was so exciting just now~ Younger Male Cousin, you look so handsome when you fight, it's a bit unfair!"

Ye Chen drank a glass of water before speaking: "Sister Qin, it's better to have less of this kind of excitement."

Bing Lan walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the cars and people gradually dispersing downstairs, and remained silent for a moment.

"Ye Chen."

The next moment, she turned around, her eyes clear, "Why does Li Yao call you Brother-in-law?"

Li Qin's eyes widened, and she grinned mischievously.

"Oh~ Sister Bing Lan, are you jealous?"

Bing Lan's ears turned slightly red, and she immediately denied: "No."

Li Qin pointed triumphantly at her cheek.

"If not, why are you blushing?"

Bing Lan: "..."

Seeing this, Ye Chen quickly explained.

"Miss Bing, please don't misunderstand!"

"Last time, Sister Qin used me as a shield, pretending I was her boyfriend to fool Brother Li."

"Brother Li, in a fit of anger, led a team to conduct a Raid against Pornography on the two of us."

"Later, I helped Brother Li a little, and that's how he got used to calling me that."

He felt quite helpless about it too.

He inexplicably became someone else's Brother-in-law.

But the problem was.

He had the title but no actual relationship, so he couldn't enjoy the benefits... Bing Lan's expression immediately became strange upon hearing this: "Li Yao conducted a Raid against Pornography... on his own sister?"

Li Qin said indignantly.

"Exactly!"

"My brother is too infuriating! How can a brother be like that!"

Ye Chen smiled without speaking.

Bing Lan couldn't help but smile at Li Qin's indignant look.

Then, her expression turned serious: "By the way, with Zhao Yuan betraying them, the Azure Dragon Society won't stay idle. Everyone be careful recently."

Ye Chen put down his water glass and said calmly.

"I know."

"So, we need to finish what needs to be done before Zhao Tiangang reacts."

Bing Lan frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen looked up.

"My seven-day agreement with Zheng Hu is up tomorrow."

"It's time to settle things with him."

Bing Lan fell silent.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became somewhat heavy.

Her father's death was all because of Zheng Hu.

She had to go for this revenge.

Bing Lan looked directly at Ye Chen and suddenly said, "I'm coming too."

Ye Chen thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Alright!"

The two then fell silent, and the atmosphere grew heavy again... Li Qin looked left and right, then clapped her hands: "Oh, don't look so serious! The world is big, but eating is biggest, it's time to eat~"

Ye Chen looked at her, raising an eyebrow: "Your treat?"

Li Qin glared at him, annoyed: "Then starve, no one eats!"

Ye Chen burst out laughing.

Bing Lan shook her head helplessly: "I'll treat."

As soon as Li Qin heard someone was treating, her face lit up with a smile.

"Great, great!"

"Meal ticket +1, I've noted it in my little book!"

Ye Chen: "..."

Bing Lan: "..."

This girl Li Qin is too quirky... Tiangong Nightclub top floor.

A cloud of smoke lingered.

Zheng Hu sat in a large leather sofa, a thick cigar clamped between his fingers, slowly exhaling a dense white smoke ring.

On the coffee table lay the newly delivered intelligence report.

A confidant stood beside him with his hands down, not daring to breathe loudly.

"Chen Bo's side..."

Zheng Hu exhaled a smoke ring, "How's the progress?"

The confidant swallowed: "Brother Hu, the bureau still won't release him. Bai Shanshan is adamant, and with the clear evidence of gun possession this time, the lawyer says... at least three years."

"Three years?"

Zheng Hu sneered, "My godson goes in for three years? Where do I put my face?"

The confidant was as silent as a cicada in winter.

Zheng Hu's face gradually darkened.

"Keep trying to find a way, pull some strings!"

"Also... find out exactly what grievances there are between Ye Chen and Chen Bo?"

The confidant quickly reported.

"It's been clarified!"

"Ye Chen's ex-wife, Hu Jing, and Young Master Chen have been... kindred spirits for five years."

"The two of them conspired to swindle Ye Chen out of a sum of money and left him in debt."

"Moreover..."

He paused, lowering his voice, "Young Master Chen instigated Hu Jing to secretly drug Ye Chen for a long time, causing him to... be impotent for five years!"

"Impotent for five years?" Zheng Hu's eye twitched, "Chen Bo plays such perverted games?"

"Yes... Ye Chen only recently found out." The confidant wiped a bead of sweat, "And we also found out that Ye Chen doesn't seem to be Sister-in-law's... Younger Male Cousin at all."

The air in the office suddenly solidified.

Zheng Hu's eyes were like knives: "What did you say?"

The confidant was drenched in cold sweat but had no choice but to brace himself and continue speaking.

"We thoroughly investigated Sister-in-law's relatives in her hometown, going back three generations, and there's no one with the surname Ye."

"And... Ye Chen's entry into Tiangong was also arranged by Young Master Chen. At that time, he was just a regular waiter..."

He dared not say more.

The muscles on Zheng Hu's face tightened inch by inch.

The cigar in his hand was crushed.

Not her Younger Male Cousin?

Jin Meiting... has been lying to him?

Zheng Hu's eyes were terrifyingly dark, just as he was about to speak... "Buzz—buzz—"

The phone on the coffee table suddenly vibrated.

Zheng Hu glanced at it, realizing it was a call from the provincial capital.

Zheng Hu suppressed his anger, waved his subordinate away, and then answered the phone.

The next moment.

A young, laughing voice came from the other end: "Uncle, still doing well?"
