A short while later, the door to the small room was pushed open.

Chen Yiyi walked out with a livid face, followed closely by Xia Dong, who had a look of displeasure on his face.

Ye Feng's gaze fell on Chen Yiyi.

Her eyes held a complex mix of helplessness and guilt.

He felt a slight stirring in his heart, but quickly regained his composure.

"Disperse!"

Xia Dong waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away flies.

Ah Biao glanced at Ye Feng with concern in his eyes.

Ah Biao sighed silently and left with the others.

The fact that the Ministry of Security abandoned Ye Feng means that Ye Feng will have to face the police charges alone.

Ye Feng did not show much surprise.

He calmly stood up, patted Wu Dan on the shoulder, and said, "Go back and wait for me."

Wu Dan's eyes reddened, "Brother Feng..."

He choked up, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "It's alright. What's true can't be false, and what's false can't be true."

Wu Dan gritted his teeth and eventually left silently.

He knew that staying would be pointless and would only add to Brother Feng's burden.

Two police officers walked up to Ye Feng and gestured for him to come with them.

Ye Feng did not resist and walked towards the police car.

As he passed by Xia Dong, he suddenly stopped.

"You like Chen Yiyi, right?"

Xia Dong was taken aback for a moment, then sneered, "What's it to you?"

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but he quickly masked it.

Ye Feng didn't say anything more and walked straight to the police car.

He bent down and sat in the back seat of the police car, only to find that someone was already inside.

Wu Feifei, dressed in a smart uniform, was flipping through a document when she heard the noise. She looked up and smiled slightly at Ye Feng.

"It's you?" Ye Feng asked, somewhat surprised.

Wu Feifei closed the file. "Let's take care of your business."

Her tone became serious, "Be prepared, there are many traps in the case file aimed at you."

Ye Feng remained silent for a moment, then he understood what Wu Feifei meant.

This incident was clearly orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, with the aim of bringing him down completely.

The urge to light a cigarette suddenly became strong, and he subconsciously reached for his pocket, only to remember that he had already been searched.

Wu Feifei seemed to read his mind, took out a cigarette case and a lighter from her pocket and handed them to him, "Go ahead and smoke, no one will bother you here."

Ye Feng took the cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. The taste of nicotine relaxed his tense nerves slightly.

Amidst the swirling smoke, he looked at Wu Feifei with gratitude in his eyes, "Thank you."

Wu Feifei shook her head. "No need to thank me. I just don't want to see good people being wronged."

She looked at Ye Feng, her tone encouraging, "I believe in you, you won't let me down."

Ye Feng flicked his cigarette ash. "Don't worry, I won't."

On the other side, Liu Qingyi concluded her investigation of Lingyun Group.

Because of Qin Yifei's connections, this visit was indeed of a much higher standard. The chairman of Lingyun Group personally received him, making it comparable to a visit by a national leader.

After the research trip, Qin Yifei naturally invited Liu Qingyi to lunch.

"Qingyi, do you remember the first time we met? You were just a naive college student, while I had already achieved some success in the business world."

The restaurant is a Michelin three-star restaurant with an elegant ambiance and melodious music.

As Qin Yifei spoke, he slowly approached Liu Qingyi.

Liu Qingyi responded politely, but Ye Feng's image kept flashing through her mind.

Qin Yifei became more and more excited as he spoke, and his body unconsciously moved closer to Liu Qingyi, almost grabbing her hand.

Liu Qingyi felt a little uncomfortable and leaned back slightly. Just then, her phone rang.

Qin Yifei's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, his expression somewhat unnatural.

He picked up his glass and took a sip as a cover-up, but his heart was filled with remorse.

I was so close, so close to touching her hand.

Just before Liu Qingyi answered the phone, Qin Yifei glanced at the caller ID—Ye Feng.

A nameless anger suddenly rose in Qin Yifei's heart.

It's Ye Feng again!

"Hello?" Liu Qingyi answered the phone, her tone impatient. She thought it was Ye Feng.

"What did you do this morning? I couldn't get through to you on the phone!"

"Hello, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Are you a family member of Ye Feng? We need you to come here to collect his personal belongings."

An unfamiliar male voice came from the other end of the phone.

Liu Qingyi was stunned.

public security bureau?

What happened to Ye Feng?

"What...what happened to him?" Liu Qingyi's voice trembled slightly.

"We can't disclose that information. Please come over as soon as possible." The other party then hung up the phone.

Liu Qingyi's heart sank, and a bad premonition welled up in her mind.

Seeing Liu Qingyi's sudden change in expression, Qin Yifei felt a pang of schadenfreude, but outwardly feigned concern. "What's wrong? What happened?"

"I have something urgent to attend to, so I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in the afternoon's activities," Liu Qingyi said hurriedly.

"Do you need my help? I can take you back," Qin Yifei said immediately.

"No need, I can manage on my own," Liu Qingyi declined Qin Yifei's suggestion.

"But... I came here for your work, and now that you're leaving, I naturally have to go back with you."

Liu Qingyi frowned; she knew Qin Yifei was deliberately finding an excuse to get close to her.

But she was in a state of utter confusion and had no energy left to deal with him.

On the other side, inside the police station, the air was stuffy and filled with a faint smell of disinfectant.

Ye Feng sat on the cold metal chair, his hands clasped together, his brows furrowed.

A man in a suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, strode up to him and politely extended his hand: "Hello Mr. Ye, I am a lawyer from the Liu Group, and I have been entrusted by President Liu to assist you."

Ye Feng looked up, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then nodded.

After asking a few routine questions, the police led them to a small interrogation room.

“Mr. Ye, this is what happened…” The lawyer pushed up his glasses, his tone serious, “You were brought here because of a murder case. Chen Yuhao is dead, and the police suspect that your fight with him at Qin Xiaoran’s house is related to his death.”

Ye Feng's heart sank.

Chen Yuhao is dead?

The lawyer continued, "Your actions that night have made you a suspect in this case. Of course, the case is not yet concluded, and we will do our utmost to protect your rights."

Ye Feng remained silent, his mind racing as he tried to recall every detail of that night.

He did have a conflict with Chen Yuhao, but he absolutely did not kill him.

At that moment, the interrogation room door was pushed open, and Liu Qingyi walked in.

She was dressed in a smart business suit, her face showing anxiety.

“I have already testified to the police,” Liu Qingyi said calmly, “You were with me during the time Chen Yuhao died.”

Ye Feng looked up at her, nodded, and finally felt relieved.
