If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having police?

"Right, right, right, Zhou Cheng—no, Second Young Master Zhou, you're a Police Officer now. You can't knowingly break the law."

"And you must protect me. I am a citizen of the Xia Kingdom; you have an obligation to protect me!"

Song Wanfeng spoke rapidly, as if he had found a lifeline.

This infuriated Ye Lingxian so much that he couldn't help but kick him again!

"Shut your mouth!" Ye Lingxian cursed!

"Brother!" Ye Juaner, who was being held by bodyguards on the side, cried out again! It was as if she couldn't bear to see Song Wanfeng suffer even a single injury or grievance!

Ye Lingxian was so angry he wanted to slap Ye Juaner twice! The Ye family is about to collapse, yet you're still protecting him?!

As for Song Wanfeng, after being kicked down, he knelt back up straight!

He looked at Zhou Cheng: "Second Young Master, did you see that? He's hitting people. He just slapped me, and now he kicked me. You're a Police Officer; you should do something about him."

However, Zhou Cheng ignored him: "I'm off duty right now, so I'm not a Police Officer! This has nothing to do with me!"

Did Song Wanfeng think he was an idiot?

At this moment, Old Master Ye really couldn't understand Zhou Cheng's attitude. Was he going to let the Ye family finish this kid off, or were there other arrangements?

"Second Young Master, our Ye family and the Ye Group know we were wrong."

"As long as you can forgive us, I can guarantee that Juaner and Feiyu will properly admit their mistakes. After they remarry, she will stay in the Zhou Family wholeheartedly, and from then on, she will no longer interfere in the Ye family's affairs!"

"The ten percent of shares that the Zhou Family returned to the Ye family will be transferred back to the Chenyang Group, and we will transfer an additional ten percent as well! A total of twenty percent!"

Old Master Ye spoke sincerely while looking at Zhou Cheng.

This time, they hadn't just brought Song Wanfeng to apologize; they had also very sincerely offered twenty percent of their shares!

But in Zhou Cheng's eyes, this had no value at all!

Song Wanfeng? He would arrest him later to claim credit. As for the Ye Group, it was entirely built up with the support of the Chenyang Group. What was the point of taking these shares?

In the time it would take to deal with that, couldn't the Chenyang Group just support another subsidiary they controlled?

Zhou Cheng picked at his ear and said indifferently, "And what if I don't forgive you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the Ye family trembled.

This was already the Ye Group's greatest concession!

"Second Young Master!"

Old Master Ye stood before Zhou Cheng and called out urgently.

"Old man Ye, don't think I don't know what role you played in all of this!"

"You tacitly allowed Song Wanfeng to appear by Ye Juaner's side without stopping it, and you tacitly allowed Ye Juaner and Song Wanfeng to humiliate and look down on my older brother without intervening!"

"Even Ye Juaner demanding shares under the guise of wanting her dowry back was planned and arranged by you, wasn't it?! You think I didn't know about any of this?!"

"Since your Ye family took the shares back, why are you so anxious to return them now?!"

Zhou Cheng spoke without the slightest bit of politeness!

Having the Ye family's schemes exposed so bluntly made Old Master Ye's face flush. Back then, he had prided himself on being a chess player, thinking that after Zhou Cheng's mother passed away, he could easily reclaim the shares!

He never expected to have made the biggest mistake of his life!

"Back then, you simply thought my father was incompetent, that my brother was too sentimental, and that I, Zhou Cheng, was just a playboy who didn't care about the Chenyang Group, so you felt you had nothing to fear!"

"What? You regret it now?!"

Zhou Cheng looked at Old Master Ye with contempt, his words biting!

While on the clock, he would speak gently to every citizen because he was serving the people.

But after work, he didn't need to be polite to anyone, because he was the Second Young Master of the Zhou Family and the controller of the Chenyang Group!

Listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Old Master Ye felt extremely humiliated, but he didn't dare harbor any other thoughts!

They could manipulate Song Wanfeng at will, but Zhou Cheng could manipulate them just as easily!

He had witnessed Zhou Cheng's methods at the Ye Group last time, and he hadn't expected that this time, Zhou Cheng's methods would remain the same—he even knew clearly that the Old Master was the mastermind behind the scenes!

"Second Young Master, I... the Ye family really knows we were wrong..." Old Master Ye said, and then he suddenly knelt on the ground!

He looked up at Zhou Cheng: "Second Young Master, I hope that for the sake of the Ye family and the Zhou Family once being in-laws, you can give the Ye family another chance."

The way the old man Ye dropped to his knees with a 'thud' made Zhou Cheng's eyelids twitch.

This old man really knew how to adapt to the situation; he was quite a character!

Now he was even pulling out this moral kidnapping routine!

However, that was the one thing Zhou Cheng was most immune to!

Just like the saying online: if apologizing worked, why would we need the police?

And sorry, I just happen to be a policeman, so it's useless!

"Father!"

"Grandfather!"

"Grandfather!!"

The moment Old Master Ye knelt, his son, his grandson Ye Lingxian, and Ye Juaner all shouted at him!

After Ye Juaner finished shouting, she looked at Zhou Cheng with a face full of rage!

"Zhou Cheng, why? Why do you have to push our Ye family like this? Why are you so cold-blooded and ruthless?"

"Why won't you just let us go!"

"Tell Zhou Feiyu to get out here right now! I want him to see for himself how you're forcing my grandfather to kneel! I want him to see your true face clearly!"

At this moment, she actually shifted the blame for the Ye family's situation onto Zhou Cheng!

She was even clamoring for Zhou Feiyu to come out!

Listening to Ye Juaner's words, Zhou Cheng didn't react for a moment! Didn't your grandfather just drop to his knees on his own? What does that have to do with me!

However, for some reason, facing such accusations, Zhou Cheng didn't feel much anger or annoyance.

He even felt a bit of secret satisfaction. He just loved seeing these protagonists unable to stand him yet unable to do anything about him.

Besides, didn't you, Ye Juaner, say back then that the Ye Group's affairs didn't need my concern? Now that I'm truly not getting involved, you're unhappy again!

As for Song Wanfeng, he knelt on the ground, his heart still filled with apprehension and panic. He didn't know if he would live to see tomorrow's sun!

Now that he saw even the Old Family Head of the Ye family kneeling to beg for forgiveness, he finally realized how much power Zhou Feiyu, whom he had been mocking, actually held!

He was now extremely regretful!

...And just as Zhou Cheng was about to talk back to Ye Juaner and earn some police force value!

A servant brought several Police Officers into the house, and under Uncle Chen's lead, they came straight to the living room!

"I am Sun Qian from the First Squad of the Lingjiang District Branch Public Security Detachment. We received a report, so we came over!"

After Sun Qian brought the two Police Officers into the living room, he immediately identified himself!

The sudden arrival of the police left the entire Ye family in a state of confusion!

Because their kidnapping of Song Wanfeng was something that couldn't see the light of day!

As for Song Wanfeng, he appeared incomparably joyful!

He broke free from the bodyguards' grip and stood up directly, fear no longer on his face. He shouted at Sun Qian!

"Officer, I was kidnapped by the Ye family! You're here to save me, right?"

Song Wanfeng guessed that Ye Juaner must have called the police!

However, Zhou Cheng, who had been sitting on the sofa, stood up leisurely!

"Hello, I'm the one who called the police. Arrest him!" Zhou Cheng pointed at Song Wanfeng!

This caused the still-rejoicing Song Wanfeng's expression to instantly collapse!

"Arrest me? I was kidnapped! Arrest me?"
