Chapter 31: Shen Qingqiu Feels Enlightened
“First, send them to the hospital…” The officer, frowning at the sight of several hoodlums wailing on the ground, instructed his colleagues. Following this, they escorted Ye Chen into the car, marking the end of this farce.
“President, about your junior apprentice brother, Ye Chen…” In the office of Shen Qingqiu at Shen Corporation, the beautiful secretary entered with a slightly awkward expression, seemingly hesitant to speak.
“What happened to him?” Shen Qingqiu stopped working on her documents, looking up at her secretary in confusion. Could it be that he had caused some trouble again?
“He… there were some hoodlums at the company’s entrance claiming Ye Chen assaulted one of their girlfriends. Then, Ye Chen fought with them and has now been taken away by the police.”
“What?” Shen Qingqiu was taken aback. She wondered how her junior brother could do such a thing.
Could it be that he had been hiding his true nature all this time? Thinking about Ye Chen’s recent odd behavior, she almost felt like she had come to a realization.
“Don’t bother about him, let him stay there for a while,” Shen Qingqiu said coldly. “Also, revoke his position in our company. I think I need to keep some distance from my junior brother. I don’t want Jiang Che to misunderstand anything.”
“Understood, I’ll arrange it now,” replied the secretary, then left to carry out the instructions.
In the detention center, Ye Chen was being processed.
“Why did you assault them?”
The middle-aged police officer who brought Ye Chen in questioned him sternly.
“Officer, it’s a misunderstanding. They were trying to attack me; I was just defending myself.”
“Hmph, that’s excessive self-defense. We’ve reviewed the surveillance footage from Shen Corporation.
Those people indeed tried to attack you, but they didn’t even touch you, and you inflicted serious injuries on them. And you claim it was self-defense?”
Ye Chen was at a loss for words.
“According to the laws of Jiuzhou Country, your case warrants criminal detention. Wait for your trial,” the officer said before leaving the detention room.
“Wait, officer, I want to request a defense!” Ye Chen called out.
The officer handed him his phone back. Ye Chen immediately tried calling Shen Qingqiu, but after several attempts, he only got a busy tone, realizing she had blocked his number.
“Why is this happening?” Ye Chen couldn’t understand why his senior sister wouldn’t help him and even blocked his number when he was being wronged.
With limited time, he hurriedly called Lin Xiyan. “Sister, I’ve been detained…”
Half an hour later, Lin Xiyan arrived at the detention center with a lawyer and met Ye Chen in the detention room.
“What did you do?” Lin Xiyan frowned, looking at Ye Chen with confusion. They had just parted ways in the morning, and now he was detained.
“I was framed by someone…” Ye Chen gave a bitter smile and explained the whole situation to Lin Xiyan.
“Did you offend someone? Could it be your old enemies?” After hearing Ye Chen’s story, Lin Xiyan asked with suspicion.
“I don’t know. If it’s not my old enemies, then it must be people sent by Jiang Che.” Ye Chen shook his head and then said firmly.
“Why do you suspect Jiang Che?” Lin Xiyan was puzzled.
From what she knew of Jiang Che, he wouldn’t stoop to such low tactics against Ye Chen. Even if there were grievances between them, it didn’t seem like something Jiang Che would do.
In his eyes, someone like Ye Chen, without any power or background, was no different from an ant.
“I hit his bodyguard that day, and he probably held a grudge against me because of that.”
“Regardless, you were also at fault in this matter. I’ve already had the lawyer talk to them, but you’ll probably have to stay here for a few days. Stay put; I’ll go inquire about the kind of people you mentioned.”
After saying this, Lin Xiyan left the detention room. She didn’t dwell on this issue with Ye Chen, subconsciously believing that Jiang Che wasn’t the kind of person to do such things.
“Jiang Che… I won’t let you get away with this!” After Lin Xiyan left, Ye Chen’s face turned iron blue, and he growled quietly, his resentment towards Jiang Che growing even more.
