54: Chapter 054 The Devil Driven Out 54: Chapter 054 The Devil Driven Out Ye Chen drove the car, always keeping an eye on Zhang Dong’s movements.
Zhang Dong looked outside, seemingly lost in thought.
“Is it really necessary?
If you can’t be together, just separate,” Ye Chen broke the silence in the car.
Zhang Dong let out a cold laugh, “Separate?
Do you know how much I’ve sacrificed for this family?”
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Dong continued, “At home, I served them like a servant, endured his parents’ scoldings.
All I did was have a few work-related meals with my boss, and they sent their daughter to the office to make a scene, delaying my long-awaited promotion.
Yet their daughter cheats on me and blames my incompetence!”
Ye Chen sighed along with him.
Zhang Dong committing such acts was truly out of desperation.
“I love my wife, I love this family, but they’re pushing me down this dead-end road.”
“But you shouldn’t have killed her parents.”
“I already gave them a chance, but they didn’t give me one,” Zhang Dong said through gritted teeth.
Ye Chen shifted the topic, “Do you also want to kill me?”
Zhang Dong trembled slightly, looking at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen stopped the car by the roadside.
“The place you mentioned was just demolished a while ago, there’s no one there.
You lured me there to kill me, didn’t you?”
“You…” Zhang Dong’s face slightly changed.
He hadn’t expected Ye Chen to be aware of his plan.
“Sorry, but in this world, I trust no one anymore.
Only the dead can keep secrets.”
With that, Zhang Dong pulled out a knife from his pocket and stabbed at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was prepared, catching Zhang Dong’s attacking hand.
After all, Zhang Dong was a weak scholar, and Ye Chen’s body had been enhanced; how could Zhang Dong be his opponent?
Soon, car lights flashed, and Zhou Susu drove over.
Zhang Dong had already been subdued by Ye Chen.
Zhou Susu handcuffed Zhang Dong.
Seeing Zhou Susu, Zhang Dong suddenly understood something.
“You two were in it together.”
Ye Chen nodded, “Zhang Dong, you’re not a bad person at heart, just unlucky to have married a deceitful wife who turned you into a demon.”
Zhang Dong was taken into the police station, and Ye Chen handed over the evidence to Zhou Susu.
“Thank you, Ye Chen.”
Ye Chen shook his head, “No problem, it’s what I should do.”
“Did his wife find out?” Ye Chen asked.
“We’ve already notified her.”
Just then, a flamboyantly dressed woman stormed in.
“Zhang Dong, you bastard, you actually killed my parents!
The police better sentence you to death,” the woman cursed in the station.
Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Good and evil are but a thought away; Zhang Dong wasn’t inherently a bad person.
If this woman had led a good life with him, maybe they could have lived a simple life together.
“Ah-Mei, stop crying; this scum will face justice,” a young man comforted the woman.
Ye Chen was momentarily stunned by the watch on the rich kid’s wrist.
His watch was surprisingly identical to the one he was wearing.
Ye Chen remembered that it was a limited edition, with only one in all of Hua Country?
Zhou Susu pointed to the woman, “That’s Zhang Dong’s wife.”
“By the way, can you help me check on that rich kid?” Ye Chen asked.
Zhou Susu was taken aback, “Why?
Is there something wrong with that person?”
Ye Chen replied, “It’s just a hunch.”
Zhou Susu opened the police info system and after checking, her expression became intriguing.
“Found it, that man’s name is Tian Chao, and he has a criminal record, imprisoned for fraud, released six months ago.”
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a smile, “I see.”
Zhang Dong is indeed a demon now, but his fall is directly related to this deceitful woman.
Hu Meimei and Tian Chao walked out of the police station.
“Ah-Chao, I’ll rely on you from now on,” Hu Meimei said affectionately.
Tian Chao’s expression darkened, “Meimei, I’m sorry, but we should break up.”
Hu Meimei was taken aback, “Why?”
Now that Zhang Dong has been caught, surely he’ll be sentenced to death; she could be with Tian Chao without any worries.
But Tian Chao wanted to break up with her.
Tian Chao sighed, “Meimei, there’s something I didn’t tell you, our family business went bankrupt.
I originally wanted to bounce back with stocks, so I borrowed a loan shark’s money, but now the stocks are down, and I can’t repay it.
Now debt collectors are hunting me down, and if I’m with you, I’d drag you down.”
“How much did you borrow?” Hu Meimei gritted her teeth and asked.
“A hundred thousand,” Tian Chao said deeply.
“Ah-Chao, I’ll help you repay it, with all my savings, I should be able to make up a hundred thousand,” Hu Meimei said resolutely.
“Meimei, you really want to help me pay?”
“Of course, I have nothing left now; you’re my support.
Tian Chao’s lips curled into a smile.
Foolish woman, who the hell would stay with a used asset, I’ll drain your money and then vanish without a trace.
At this moment, a Pagani sports car suddenly stopped beside them.
Seeing this car, both Tian Chao and Hu Meimei’s eyes lit up.
Wow, this sports car must be worth millions.
Tian Chao looked at the car with envy.
Damn rich, how many women do I have to con to buy such a luxury car!
Then, the car door opened, and a super handsome young man stepped out.
The young man wore an Armani suit, exuding charm.
Especially the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist, screaming affluence.
Not just Tian Chao, even Hu Meimei was stunned seeing Ye Chen.
Tian Chao was indeed handsome, but his looks were nothing compared to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen was handsome to the core, with both a temperament and looks of a divine level.
Looking at Ye Chen, Hu Meimei’s heart raced.
She sighed inwardly, if she hadn’t married that useless Zhang Dong, and found such a handsome man, maybe her parents wouldn’t have died.
Ye Chen approached Hu Meimei excitedly and said, “Little Yue, what are you doing here?
Hu Meimei froze, staring at Ye Chen in confusion.
Ye Chen suddenly sighed, “I’m sorry, miss, I mistook you for someone else; you really look like my ex-girlfriend.”
With a hint of disappointment, Ye Chen turned and walked towards the sports car.
Tian Chao and Hu Meimei were still in a dazed state.
Ye Chen suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to Tian Chao, “Brother, can you let me have your girlfriend?
She looks so much like my first love.
I’ll pay you, just let her spend one night with me.”
Spend one night with you?” Hu Meimei shouted.
Tian Chao snorted coldly, “Kid, what the hell are you talking about?
She’s my girlfriend, with you?
Are you looking for a beating?”
Ye Chen looked sincerely and said, “I really like her.
How about this, I’ll give you a hundred thousand?”
If Tian Chao genuinely cared about Hu Meimei, he would surely get angry, perhaps even beat Ye Chen up.
After all, when another man wants to spend the night with your woman, no man can tolerate it.
But unfortunately, Tian Chao loved money, not Hu Meimei.
