Was this the guy who deliberately picked a fight at the Western restaurant last time? Lin Yue almost threw her phone away. After calming down for a few seconds, she asked uncertainly again, "What did you say your name was?"

"Yu Zhe." The two words were clearly uttered on the other end.

Lin Yue felt her hair stand on end and shouted, "How did you get my phone number?!"

"If you want it, you can have it." Yu Zhe's voice was full of languor.

"Miss Lin's voice sounds very strong; she must be in a good mood today."

"None of your business!" Lin Yue really didn't want to talk to this kind of person!

Because she said those four words with such force that she lost control of her volume, Uncle Wu in the driver's seat couldn't help but glance at her in the rearview mirror.

Instead of getting angry, Yu Zhe laughed even more unrestrainedly, "What about Song Yunzheng? Is that also trivial?"

"Speak quickly, I don't have time to play riddles with you."

"Has Song Yunzheng been leaving early and returning late these past few days? He must be swamped with work by now." Yu Zhe's tone was devoid of emotion, merely a calm statement.

"So what? What exactly do you want?"

"Want to know?" Yu Zhe deliberately kept her in suspense.

"Nonsense!" Lin Yue retorted without any politeness.

"There are some things that are not convenient to say over the phone. If you want to know, come and find me."

Lin Yue immediately became wary. What exactly did this person want?

As if reading her mind, Yu Zhe smiled slightly and said, "I just wanted to meet you. Miss Lin, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm a gentleman."

"You want to help Song Yunzheng, right? I can give you a chance now. Maybe you can persuade me to stop. It's not impossible."

Lin Yue pondered to herself, remaining silent.

"Whether you come or not is up to you. I never like to force others. However, if you do come, I can consider slowing down my next plan and giving Song Yunzheng some buffer time."

Yu Zhe shamelessly threw out the bait.

Lin Yue thought about his words seriously for a long time, and finally hesitated before saying, "Okay, we can meet, I'll decide on the location."

"Can."

"I'll text you the address. It'll be in half an hour. I don't like waiting for people, so don't wait up."

Yu Zhe raised an eyebrow. "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yue gently patted the driver's seat. "Uncle Wu, come with me somewhere first."

The KFC store was very crowded and noisy during lunchtime.

Yu Zhe sat there leisurely, staring straight at the girl opposite him. He looked around and felt a headache coming on. How could she have come up with such a thing?

"Just tell me directly, what do you want?" Lin Yue crossed her arms.

Yu Zhe placed his arms on the table and leaned forward slightly. "Crush Song Yunzheng, don't you think it's very fulfilling to defeat him in the capital and cause setbacks for the Song family?"

Why did you do that?

Yu Zhe tapped his long fingers on the table thoughtfully. "Some people are just naturally annoying. I never show mercy to those I dislike. However, after seeing you, I'm changing my mind a bit."

Yu Zhe looked at her teasingly, rubbing his chin with his fingers. "You're so beautiful, it's a pity you married Song Yunzheng. Why don't you consider me? I'm much more interesting than him."

Lin Yue slammed her hand on the table and stood up, glaring angrily at the man in front of her. "Where do you get the confidence to compare yourself to my husband? Did you eat too much melamine and get your brain clogged?"

As soon as he said that, all the customers coming and going in the store turned to look in his direction...

Yu Zhe shook his head and chuckled. Instead of being angry, he relaxed and leaned back in his chair. "You've got quite the mouth, haven't you? You're quick-witted and sharp-tongued. You could be good at keeping my sister in check. Mrs. Yu's treatment isn't bad. Why don't you think about it? Otherwise, I might change my mind when Song Yunzheng has nothing left."

Lin Yue scoffed, "Dream on!"

"You'll know in a few days whether it's a dream or not." Yu Zhe smiled and elegantly put the fries on the table into his mouth.

Lin Yue was furious and snatched the fries from his hand. "I bought them. If you want some, go buy them yourself!"

Yu Zhe looked at the ketchup on his fingertips, but instead of wiping it off with a tissue, he brought it to his lips and licked it off. He then lifted his eyelids to look at her, his eyes filled with deep meaning.

...

In his hospital office, Song Yunzheng was browsing the web when a shocking headline caught his eye: "Boss Chengye frequents nightclubs and keeps male models as mistresses; Song family's young master keeps a female college student as his mistress and forces her to get married!"

The report infuriated him even more, saying that he deliberately married a female college student to spite his ex-girlfriend, and that the Song siblings were birds of a feather.

If they weren't in the office, Song Yunzheng would have smashed the iPad. These so-called experts and media people are like a flock of hungry vultures. As long as they're paid, they'll turn black into white, and they can even dig up old grievances from eight hundred years ago. They don't even spare B University's campus forum. They really will stop at nothing!

"Yu Zhe, you've been living too comfortably in England, so you've come back here just to die," Song Yunzheng muttered to himself, staring at the computer screen.

Dealing with Yu Zhe in England might require some effort, but this is the capital city; he can ensure that Yu Zhe never leaves alive.

...

Rumors spread like wildfire, pushing Cheng Ye into the eye of the storm. The stock market plummeted, causing widespread panic.

In the conference room of Chengye Group, everyone was like ants on a hot plate, discussing the matter animatedly.

"The stock market fell by eight percentage points today, and it is expected to fall even more sharply tomorrow. For now, we can only suspend the branch office's plans and collect all the funds."
