The beautiful CEO falls in love with me
Chapter 124 - 124 120 117 Interest Dispute

124: Chapter 120 Chapter 117: Interest Dispute 124: Chapter 120 Chapter 117: Interest Dispute Having said that, Zhang Yantong immediately began packing her things, preparing to leave.

Fang Qin watched as Zhang Yantong silently packed up, feeling helpless as she left the police station.

After packing her things, Zhang Yantong placed her purse on the desk and then, holding a bunch of keys, walked towards the interrogation room.

Ye Chen, who had not been formally charged, could only be detained in the interrogation room for the time being.

Inside the interrogation room, Ye Chen sat in a corner, the cigarette in his hand never ending.

He looked up at the only window in the room, a very small one reinforced with a few bars of steel.

Outside, the sky had already darkened, and moonlight spilled into the room through the window.

Staring at the bright moonlight, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

Although the situation had escalated, he had no regrets.

If time could turn back and he could do it all over again, Ye Chen would still make the same choice.

Creak…

Suddenly, the door to the interrogation room opened.

A beautiful figure stood at the doorway, dressed in casual wear with long, slender legs and wearing a white t-shirt that was especially enchanting.

There was no lighting around, and the only thing that allowed them to see each other clearly was the moonlight shining in from the window.

The moonlight bathed Zhang Yantong’s face, making her look holy and beautiful.

However, in Ye Chen’s eyes, it was dull and lackluster.

“You’re here…” Ye Chen took a drag of his cigarette, a spark shining particularly bright.

“Smoke less, it’s bad for your health,” Zhang Yantong glanced at Ye Chen.

“I’m not smoking cigarettes, I’m smoking loneliness!” Ye Chen grinned and spouted a line that was trying too hard to impress.

Zhang Yantong glared at Ye Chen.

This guy, even in a moment like this, didn’t forget to joke around.

Ye Chen chuckled, “Didn’t you get off work?

Why are you here?”

“I’m here for you!” Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen and said, “I promised you something, but I can’t do it!”

“I figured as much!” Ye Chen let out a chuckle.

“Why?” Zhang Yantong asked in astonishment.

“How did you know?”

“Some things, I happen to know better inside here than you do out there!” Ye Chen smiled lightly and said, “Although Zhang Dadan has fallen from power, his influence remains.

The key point is, there are his people inside the police station; plus, many people in Jianghuai City hate me to their bones, so I never thought I’d get out of here alive!”

“It looks like you know quite a lot about these things!” Zhang Yantong smiled lightly.

“That’s not all I know.

I’m also aware that you asked your dad, but he didn’t agree to help you!” Ye Chen stood up from the floor, then put out his cigarette by stepping on it twice and said with a smile, “Do you know why he refused you?”

“Why?” Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen curiously.

“That’s because of Jiang Zhonggen!” Ye Chen said with a smirk.

“Jiang Zhonggen is about to join the Provincial Committee.

At that point, he might become colleagues with Zhang Kaiguo.

Although they get along okay, when it comes to disputes over interests, things can turn sour, so Zhang Kaiguo doesn’t want to get involved with Jianghuai City’s affairs at this critical moment.

If Zhang Kaiguo gets involved, it would be like he doesn’t consider Jiang Zhonggen at all.”

“But do you know about Jiang Zhonggen?

He is also unwilling to get involved!” Zhang Yantong laughed.

“That makes total sense!” Ye Chen laughed and said, “Because Jiang Zhonggen is about to leave as well.

Climbing up the ranks is the most important thing in his life; he doesn’t want to waste his energy on this issue.

If he were to carelessly get caught in some scandal in Jianghuai City, Jiang Zhonggen would regret it deeply.

So, in this case, only the small fries can make decisions.”

“What if I told you that you’re wrong?” Zhang Yantong said with a pursed smile.

“Uh…” Ye Chen was taken aback and immediately shook his head, saying, “Impossible, I must be right!”

“Well, then I’ll tell you, you’re now free!” Zhang Yantong walked inside and then unlocked the handcuffs from Ye Chen’s hands.

Ye Chen stared at Zhang Yantong in astonishment and stumbled back two steps, saying, “Have you lost your mind?

By setting a prisoner free like this, you’re destroying your own future!”

“If there is no bright future, then let it be destroyed!” Zhang Yantong shook her head in agony and said, “I thought turning yourself in could reduce the severity, but someone behind the scenes is intent on seeing you dead.

Now, I’m very confused, I can’t fulfill the promise I made to you, so I have to let you go this way!”

As she spoke, tears fell from Zhang Yantong’s eyes.

Under the moonlight, those teardrops looked like sparkling gems.

Ye Chen helplessly shook his head, walked over, and took Zhang Yantong into his arms, saying, “As long as you tried, I won’t blame you.”

“No, no!

I can’t let you be sent to the gallows like this!” Zhang Yantong bit her teeth.

Ye Chen leaned down, his lips touching Zhang Yantong’s rosy lips.

Zhang Yantong’s eyes widened in disbelief, staring at Ye Chen.

This scoundrel, taking advantage of her like this.

During the moment Zhang Yantong was stunned, Ye Chen’s tongue pried open her teeth and quickly entwined with Zhang Yantong’s tongue, a faint fragrance as if wreathed in sweet honey.

Ye Chen sucked on Zhang Yantong’s tender tongue as if indulging in sweet candy.

“Mmm…” Zhang Yantong immediately came to her senses and struggled hurriedly, but she found that she could not break free from Ye Chen’s arms.

Ye Chen’s arms were strong, like two iron vices trapping her.

There is a saying: life is like rape, instead of fighting it painfully, it’s better to relax and enjoy it.

After struggling for a moment, Zhang Yantong eventually wrapped her arms around Ye Chen’s waist, and the two passionately kissed.

Zhang Yantong’s kiss was very inexperienced, trying to take the lead, yet restrained.

Ye Chen was an unfaithful fellow, having just breached Zhang Yantong’s defenses and with his left hand trespassing through her T-shirt to grab hold of her proud and full figure.

Zhang Yantong’s eyes immediately widened as she stepped backward.

She hastily shook her head, saying, “No, no, don’t do this!

We can’t do this!”

“Heh heh…” Ye Chen smirked and said, “Captain Zhang, you’re quite shy, aren’t you!”

“Jerk!” Zhang Yantong bit her red lips, her face flushed a deep red, and anger flared in her eyes as she glared at Ye Chen.

“Leave now, or you won’t have the chance anymore.

Because of the intricate connections, so many people want to see you dead.

If you don’t leave now, you won’t have the chance to live!”

“No way!” Ye Chen shook his head and said, “If this were before, I would’ve left here without hesitation.

As if this place could hold me—that’s simply impossible.

But now, I can’t leave…”

While speaking, Ye Chen’s gaze drifted to the window where the moonlight shone through, intermittently hidden by a passing cloud.

“Why?” Zhang Yantong looked at Ye Chen, taken aback.

“Because there’s someone I care about in Jianghuai City!” Ye Chen smiled faintly.

Zhang Yantong’s gaze dimmed as she looked at Ye Chen and asked, “Is it Li Ruo?”

“It’s not just her; it’s you too!” Ye Chen looked at Zhang Yantong seriously.

At some point, his heart had been deeply impressed by her.

Zhang Yantong’s previously dim eyes suddenly brightened considerably as she exclaimed: “Ah, you…”

A bashful shyness spread through Zhang Yantong’s heart at that moment.

First love was a blend of sweet, bitter, and sour feelings.

“And a bunch of my brothers,” Ye Chen added.

“I didn’t know what responsibility meant before.

Whenever trouble arose, I’d run away, resulting in the death of dozens of my brothers at the hands of others.

Now, I understand that a man should take on his responsibilities.

If I just left like that, not only would you be implicated, but my brothers would surely be affected as well…

So, I can’t leave!”

Zhang Yantong looked up at Ye Chen and only then realized that beneath his seemingly mischievous face, there lay a heart brimming with a sense of justice.

The moonlight broke through the clouds, as if attracted by Ye Chen’s words, casting a silvery outline on his face.

He looked like the god of justice, Phanes, descending from Greek mythology.

Zhang Yantong’s heart pounded uncontrollably; she was completely captivated by Ye Chen.

She couldn’t restrain the emotions that surged within her, nor could she stop her rapidly beating heart.

“Don’t worry, I will do my best to lessen your sentence!” Zhang Yantong said through gritted teeth.

…

In the City Government residential area.

Up in a building, the family of the City Secretary gathered around watching TV.

Jiang Zhonggen looked curiously at his disappointing son Jiang Wei and asked, “Jiang Wei, why didn’t you go out to play today?”

“It’s boring!” Jiang Wei shook his head.

“Oh, what happened?” Jiang Zhonggen inquired with curiosity.

“The boss got caught, and with him gone, us little brothers just don’t have any fun, so we can only stay at home!” Jiang Wei stretched lazily, while Jiang’s mother chuckled and said, “Silly boy, you’re the son of the City Secretary, and you’ll eventually become the son of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Why are you still acting as someone else’s little brother?”

“Stop talking nonsense; be careful of the walls have ears!” Jiang Zhonggen glared at Jiang’s mother and then leisurely asked, “Who’s your boss?”

“Ye Chen, the one you refused to help!” Jiang Wei glanced at him and said, “Fine, I’m going to bed.

You don’t want to deal with this anyway!”

“Wait!” Jiang Zhonggen immediately called out to Jiang Wei, curiously asking, “Recently, it’s all about Ye Chen.

Who exactly is this Ye Chen, to make so many people worry about him?”

“Ah, Ye Chen is a good guy, who would take a knife for his brothers.

Anyway, you wouldn’t understand these things!” Jiang Wei laughed and said, “Because this is the complete opposite of the ‘survive by staying out of trouble’ philosophy you preach every day!”

After saying that, Jiang Wei immediately turned and entered his room.

Jiang Zhonggen watched his son’s retreating back with a puzzled expression, muttering to himself, “Ye Chen…”
