Chapter 45 Back and forth, in and out...

Ye Huaizhang's foot was injured by a stone beam, making it very difficult for him to walk. He pretended to be pitiful, so Ye Baoling had no choice but to help him walk back.

The flat blue brick tunnel ahead was easy to walk through, but the narrow staircase leading up from the ground floor of Chengheju Mansion was only wide enough for one person to pass through. Two people couldn't squeeze in, so he had to go in front and she had to push against his butt from behind. It was quite a struggle to climb up to the third floor and return to the dressing room.

Ye Baoling was so tired that she collapsed onto the beanbag chair.

Ye Huaizhang went back to his bedroom to get his first-aid kit and treat his wounds.

After Ye Baoling had rested, she thought that since she was already there, she might as well go to the study and find the family yearbook to study it properly.

I found the "Chronological Table of the Ye Qingtang Family" in the study.

She took the thick, thread-bound book back to her bedroom, and just then she turned to 1964, the year the original owner of this body was born.

She sat opposite Ye Huaizhang and said, “Look, on June 12, 1964, Ye Kaimin’s wife Ye Gumin, the eldest son of Ye Qizu, and their eldest daughter Ye Baoling, fired three cannon shots in the ancestral hall.”

Ye Huaizhang, who was skillfully wrapping bandages, turned to look at her. "And then?"

"Nothing more. What I mean is, my status as the eldest granddaughter of the eldest son of the first wife is far more noble than your status as the eldest granddaughter of the third wife. It seems like you weren't even born with a cannon salute." Ye Baoling deliberately used feudal ethics to mock him.

Ye Huaizhang laughed too, "Your eldest son's branch controls the ancestral hall, deliberately elevating yourselves to such a noble position. If firecrackers weren't banned throughout the city, wouldn't your newly added younger brother have been greeted with a nine-gun salute?"

Ye Baoling chuckled twice. She wasn't interested in talking to him about the so-called new younger brother, and instead turned to the pages from 1946 to examine them closely.

In 1946, it seemed that nothing major happened to the third branch of the Ye family.

The only thing that caught her attention was a record from December 1946.

On December 24th, the eve of Christmas, the hill behind the garden was renamed Silver Snake Hill.

"Take a look at this one."

Ye Huaizhang had noticed this record before, "This is the only piece of information that seems to be related to the blue brick tunnel in the whole of 1946."

After all, the Qingzhuan Tunnel goes around to the back of Yinshe Mountain and then back again.

Why was it renamed in 1946?

It may not be a coincidence.

Ye Baoling said she would take a copy with her so she could easily access it at any time.

Ye Huaizhang: "You're just leaving like that?"

"What else? I bring you back, and you bring me back?"

Have you ever played house?

He closed the medicine box and put it aside.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms. "Sit on top."

He was below, she was above.

Ye Baoling struggled to get up, but she was a "lie-down" type, saying, "I don't have the strength."

"I have."

This truly demonstrates a strong will and amazing perseverance despite physical disability.

Ye Baoling teased him, "Your foot doesn't hurt anymore now?"

"It doesn't require using your feet." As long as your back is okay.

The angle at which I'm holding you is just right...

With just one forceful inhale, she was truly exhausted.

His nostrils were filled with the scent of the medicine he had just used to treat his wounds.

He adjusted his position so that she wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Then he pulled out a small square from somewhere, it seems he was prepared in advance.

“You help me,” he said.

Considering his disability, Ye Baoling tried to help him, but the surface was too slippery and difficult to handle.

Once she got the hang of it, she started to use her strength inappropriately.

The irritation made the veins on his forehead bulge. He wanted to curse.

Ye Baoling, who was always good at taking the initiative, muttered, "I already said I can't do it, I don't know how, but you still insist on making me do it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his pain into strength.

Both of them were speechless for a moment.

It was like a ship tossed about at sea during a category 12 typhoon, with strong winds and high waves, and the cabin full of water. She could only hold on to him tightly.

The sofa in their bedroom wasn't the leather sofa from the hotel last time; it was made of fabric, which is harder to clean.

Ye Baoling was still relatively clear-headed. She thought to herself, if this continues, the sofa is no longer usable.

Ye Huaizhang certainly didn't care about the money for the sofa, but didn't the parents and servants of the third son's family know about it?

Ye Baoling hates having her privacy invaded and becoming the subject of gossip.

Especially acquaintances.

She quickly stopped him: "Wait! Stop for a second!"

"What's wrong?"

She leaned on his shoulder and waited until she caught her breath before saying, "Put a blanket down."

Ye Huaizhang had no choice but to get up. With their combined weight, he could walk without limping and even move back and forth as he walked, eventually wedging her against the wall panel.

Ye Baoling subconsciously thought, "Is this going to lead to my wrath?"

Sure enough, you really do run into a wall.

Even if the waters flood Jinshan Temple, it won't matter this time.

A towel is all you need to clean up the mess.

Luckily, tomorrow is Saturday. Enough time to mess around. He'll let her sleep it off before going back home once she's tired from all that.

Fearing being discovered, Ye Baoling chose to walk back to the old main house through the blue brick tunnel, and Ye Huaizhang escorted her downstairs.

She couldn't help but complain that after a whole night of this, her foot was finally healed.

*

Around 8:30, Sister Ping knocked on her door.

Ye Baoling asked sleepily, "Sister Ping, why did you wake me up so early?"

Pingjie knew that her young lady loved to sleep in, so she usually wouldn't wake her up: "I don't want to wake you either, but that old fox is leaving the hospital today with her little fox cubs. The old master is even getting ready to go downstairs to greet them. Don't you have to go downstairs and see?"

Although Sister Ping is sharp-tongued in front of her, she is very tactful in her actions.

She wouldn't offend people she shouldn't, especially Ye Qizu.

Ye Baoling had no choice but to get up, wash up, and go downstairs. Liang Meiyun forced a smile and went out to greet her. Relatives from Third Uncle's family also came to join in the fun.

The entrance to the garden of the eldest son's house was always packed with people, giving it quite a grand display.

Uncle Xing, Aunt Xing, and Sister Yin advised everyone to stand a little further apart so as not to frighten the child.

Zheng Junni got out of the car and looked at the smiling faces of the crowd in front of her. She simply smiled and nodded to greet them, as if this was the most glorious moment of her life.

After all, when Ye Baolong was born, she had only recently married into the Ye family. At that time, in everyone's eyes, she was still a shameless vixen who wanted to climb the social ladder.

More than ten years have passed, and the environment is now completely different.

Ye Qizu's lineage has dwindled to almost nothing, with only two grandsons and one granddaughter.

Of the two grandsons, one is mentally challenged.

Ye Kaimin was almost fifty years old and might lose his inheritance rights because he didn't have a healthy son, but Zheng Junni gave birth to a healthy baby boy, and the situation immediately reversed.

It's easy to imagine that the drama of the two brothers from the eldest son's branch fighting over the family property will be more exciting than any TV drama.

Once inside, he placed the child in Ye Qizu's arms.

Looking at his chubby grandson, Ye Qizu happily praised, "He's quite good-looking! He looks very clever and bright."

Needless to say, Ye Kaimin was overjoyed. If you asked him to kneel down and lick his wife's buttocks, he would do it immediately.

"Dad, you need to give the baby a name."

Do I even need to remind myself?

The old man had already chosen the name.

Ye Baolong's previous name was too grand, and the child couldn't handle it, so this time he intentionally kept a low profile.

"Let's call him Baoxian, the 'xian' in 'virtuous and good'."

Zheng Junni smiled and said, "Baoxian? That's a good name."

It sounds better than Ye Baoshun's name.

Liang Meiyun lowered her head, fiddling with her elbow; she didn't want to see these hypocritical scenes.

Ye Baoling, who was standing aside watching the commotion, could feel the jealousy emanating from her second aunt.

Ye Baoling stayed in the old eldest house all weekend and didn't go out.

She had her period and just wanted to lie down; she didn't want to go anywhere.

Fortunately, I didn't have any period cramps this time.

I don't know if it's because she exercised well and her body got better, or if, as her grandmother said, the pain stopped after she got married and had sex.

Anyway, it doesn't hurt anymore, so it's something to be happy about.

*

Upon arriving at the company, Ye Baoling first went to Qi Yuxiu's office in the logistics department to report on her work over the past week.

When Qi Yuxiu heard that Qu Zhengming wanted Ye Baoling to be her right-hand woman, she paused slightly, then asked Ye Baoling with a somewhat complicated expression, "What do you think of Qu Zhengming?"

Ye Baoling immediately realized that Qi Yuxiu was testing her.

Qi Yuxiu might be afraid that Ye Baoling and Qu Zhengming are getting too close and that she will side with Qu Zhengming later.

"Director Qu seems quite wary. She asked me to do some things, but she doesn't seem to trust me very much. She assigns the more important tasks to others, not to me." Ye Baoling didn't mention her own attitude towards Qu Zhengming; instead, she directly shifted the blame to Qu Zhengming, saying that he didn't trust her.

This allowed Qi Yuxiu to quickly lower her guard. She smiled and said, "It's only natural to be wary. After all, you're a newcomer. She can't be as open and honest with you as I am. Try to gain her trust as soon as possible. She's currently in charge of the marketing department, and she definitely can't let her hold onto that position for long. She might need your cooperation and to act according to the situation."

It seems that Ye Kaishen and Lin Zhong are locked in a fierce battle.

The outcome of the marketing director position is still uncertain.

Ye Baoling smiled and nodded, saying okay.

After leaving the logistics department, Ye Baoling took the stairs to the sixth floor as usual and met Lu Baohua at the fire door.

Lu Baohua, holding a cup of coffee, had just come out of the break room. He greeted her with a smile, "Why do you seem to take the stairs every day?"

Ye Baoling laughed and said, "I don't want to wait for the elevator."

Lu Baohua: "I thought you worked out."

"It can be considered a form of exercise."

What are your usual pastimes?

Although Ye Baoling was wary of Lu Baohua's enthusiasm, she didn't want to show too much dislike, so she just smiled and said, "Listen to songs and watch TV dramas, I'm very bored."

Lu Baohua shared his favorite songs with her and asked if she wanted to go to Anita Mui's concert together.

Ye Baoling, who had already reached her workstation, shook her head with a smile: "Too expensive. I heard that concert tickets with good seats cost over a hundred. Forget it."

After saying that, she pretended to talk to Sister Rong and ignored the other person.

As soon as Lu Baohua entered his office, He Jiayi peeked over and whispered gossip, "Wow, someone's got a cat in their eye, seems to be interested in you."

Sister Rong also said, "It's a potential stock, worth considering."

Gao Lizhen, unusually, changed her usual dejected demeanor and said to Ye Baoling, "Manager Lu is quite nice..."

Ye Baoling refrained from rolling her eyes and simply said, "Not interested."

Just then, Xia came to Ye Baoling with the receipt for the cleaning tools she bought, and that brought the conversation to a close.

After Ye Baoling finished signing, Xia whispered, "Miss Gu, there's something I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

Xia wanted to go outside to talk.

Ye Baoling then followed her to the corner of the stairs.

It turned out that Xia had just witnessed Lu Baohua's enthusiasm for Ye Baoling, and she whispered a warning: "You should be careful of that manager surnamed Lu."

Ye Baoling hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"I just heard that the product department held some kind of press conference a while ago, and a blue videotape went missing. Apparently, it caused quite a stir."

"That's true," Ye Baoling replied, urging her to continue.

Xia: "Sister Yang, who is in charge of cleaning the 6th floor, reported something to me a long time ago. She saw a man from the product department acting suspiciously, taking a blue box from someone's backpack and secretly putting it under a folder on the desk. She told me about it and thought it was strange. At the time, I thought it was just a joke between colleagues and didn't take it seriously. It wasn't until I heard that a blue videotape went missing at a press conference and caused a big fuss that I realized how scary this was. This morning, Sister Yang identified the person who stole the item as Manager Lu."

Although Ah Xia's expression wasn't very clear, Ye Baoling understood it immediately.

On the day of the new product launch, before leaving, Lu Baohua took the videotape from Gao Lizhen's backpack and hid it under a folder on Gao Lizhen's desk.

This led people to mistakenly believe that Gao Lizhen was not dedicated to her work and had not brought any videotapes to the scene.

Of course, Lu Baohua wouldn't be so bored as to frame a new colleague for no reason.

He had his reasons for framing them.

Lu Baohua is truly a hypocrite whose character is utterly despicable.

Xia: "Miss Gu, you should be careful of this person in the future."

Ye Baoling: "I understand, Sister Xia, thank you for reminding me. Please don't tell anyone else about this for now."

Xia nodded in agreement, and Ye Baoling returned to her workstation only after Xia left.

On that very day, the Human Resources Department issued an announcement that Lu Baohua had been promoted to Product Manager, effective immediately.

Everyone congratulated and cheered, and Lu Baohua was happy to treat everyone to afternoon tea.

Perhaps the promotion gave Lu Baohua a great deal of confidence, because when he left work, he actually followed him.

"I've got my car. Shall I take you home?"

Ye Baoling glanced at him: "Isn't it on our way?"

Lu Baohua: "It's on my way. I looked at your information. You live on Hyde Street, right?"

You even looked up her information?

Ye Baoling suppressed her disgust and said, "I'm with my cousin."

Just as she reached the fourth floor, Gu Man'er was waiting for her. Ye Baoling introduced her, "This is my cousin."

Lu Baohua was still not giving up, saying, "My car can fit two people."

Wang Simin, who arrived late, asked with a smile, "With me in tow, is there enough room for the three of us?"

Lu Baohua looked at the two or three third wheels and was about to say that there was room, but Ye Baoling directly refused him: "We still want to go shopping."

"Alright then," Lu Baohua shrugged slightly. "Next time."

He then went downstairs.

Gu Man'er complained, "Cousin, you have so many bad romantic prospects."

Wang Simin asked curiously, "Who else?"

"A rich guy was chasing after my cousin for blocks..."

Gu Man'er was referring to Gong Jiahua.

The three of them went downstairs laughing and joking.

Ye Baoling didn't go back with them; she went to her own company first.

She had already withdrawn 200,000 yuan from the bank at noon and handed it over to Chen Yulan.

She had a principal of 27 million yuan and received 40.82 million yuan in the end, so she gave Liu Haonan a commission of 138,000 yuan and the trader an additional commission of 40,000 yuan.

The remaining 20,000 yuan was given to Chen Yulan as an extra reward.

Chen Yulan felt embarrassed to accept the gift because she hadn't done anything wrong, but Ye Baoling insisted on giving it to her.

She made money using Chen Yulan's securities account, so she can't just leave without saying anything.

At the same time, she asked Liu Haonan to help her open a US stock account. The upcoming stock market crash would be global, and if she wanted to make big money, she would have to seize the opportunity to short the US stock market.

Open the account early, deposit some US dollars, and buy some stocks on a small scale first. Don't wait until October and go short immediately, that would attract too much attention.

Liu Haonan asked how many US dollars to put in?

Ye Baoling: "I exchanged $100,000, which is readily available."

$100,000 isn't a huge amount of money these days, but it's still a considerable sum.

Liu Haonan said he knew what to do next.

*

The day after Lu Baohua's promotion was announced.

Ye Baoling knocked on the door and entered Qu Zhengming's office. Qu Zhengming was not there yesterday, and the personnel department bypassed her to announce Lu Baohua's appointment.

She was on the phone with HR Manager Li right now: "Even if it's an appointment by the boss, you have to notify me first! You can't even wait a day, this is overstepping your authority!"

After venting his anger, Qu Zhengming hung up the phone immediately.

Ye Baoling laid out all the work she needed to complete this week to Qu Zhengming, and very tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

Although Qu Zhengming didn't show it very obviously, Ye Baoling sensed early on that Qu Zhengming had some reservations about Lu Baohua.

An hour later, the product department held a meeting, where Qu Zhengming officially announced Lu Baohua's promotion.

"Lu Baohua has always been very dedicated to his work. This time, his promotion to manager was an opportunity he earned himself. He came up with the brilliant idea of ​​a distribution system for the marketing department, which led the chairman to personally promote him..."

Last time Qu Zhengming praised Lu Baohua, she didn't mention the distribution system. This time she brought it up, and Lu Baohua knew he couldn't hide it anymore. He smiled slightly and seemed quite calm, not worried that Ye Baoling would expose him in public, that the idea wasn't his.

In his view, even if Ye Baoling had the guts, she had no evidence to prove that the idea came from her.

Qu Zhengming continued, "In the coming period, I will be juggling the work of both the product department and the marketing department. Manager Lu in the product department will need to take responsibility. Also, Gu Baolin has been promoted to assistant planner. She will fully assist me in my work and will be in charge of adjusting the jasmine herbal tea formula. I hope everyone can cooperate as much as possible."

Lu Baohua led the applause.

Ye Baoling's colleagues congratulated her, and some even encouraged her and Manager Lu to treat everyone to Happy Hour!

Before Ye Baoling could refuse, Lu Baohua agreed first.

Ye Baoling was speechless, but could only maintain a polite smile.

After the meeting, Lu Baohua immediately called Ye Baoling to his office.

Ye Baoling knew he wanted to keep her calm.

She tidied up the documents in front of her: "I'm going to the restroom, I'll be right back."

A few minutes later, Ye Baoling knocked on the door and entered Lu Baohua's office.

"sit."

Ye Baoling didn't sit down: "Manager Lu, what can I do for you?"

Seeing that Ye Baoling wasn't sitting down, Lu Baohua realized she was upset and couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"

"What was I thinking? The order fulfillment plan was my idea, but now it's become yours, Manager Lu, and it seems to have nothing to do with me anymore." Ye Baoling rarely spoke so frankly about her emotions lately.

Lu Baohua shrugged slightly: "You seem to have some misunderstanding about me."

"How so?"

He tried to explain: "That night, you suggested I go directly to Marketing Director Liu to discuss the distribution system. You know the environment was chaotic; some people were drinking, some were singing, and it was impossible to explain anything clearly. I'm very certain that I didn't say it was my idea, and Director Liu didn't ask. He just assumed the new plan was my idea. After Director Liu reported the situation to his superiors, things turned out this way, and I'm now in a difficult position. If I explain now that the distribution system idea wasn't my idea, wouldn't that be considered fraud? I hope you can understand my current predicament."

He spoke quite sincerely.

If Ye Baoling hadn't overheard Lu Baohua telling Director Liu that it was his idea, she might actually have believed his nonsense.

Ye Baoling: "But I'm very unhappy right now."

Lu Baohua assured, "I will definitely find a way to compensate you."

"What compensation? You're not trying to say you're going to pursue me, are you?" There was a hint of sarcasm in her words.

Yesterday, Lu Baohua vaguely heard Gu Man'er mention that a rich young man was pursuing Gu Baolin. He figured there were plenty of fish in the sea, so he immediately gave up on the idea, and at the same time, he didn't want to offend her.

After all, she is now a favorite of Qu Zhengming, and he can see that this Miss Gu's abilities should not be underestimated.

He smiled awkwardly and said, "If you ever need my help with anything in the future, I will do my best to help you."

Who would believe such nonsense?

"Having more friends makes life easier. Once I'm promoted, I'll definitely find a way to help you out. What's the point of being an assistant planner? I can at least help you become a senior planner!" Lu Baohua was good at making empty promises.

Qi Yuxiu has the value to stay and cooperate, but unfortunately Lu Baohua does not.

Ye Baoling forced a smile: "Manager Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll head out now."

Seeing that Ye Baoling's attitude was quite mild, Lu Baohua guessed that she wouldn't tell anyone, and even if she did, no one would believe her without evidence. Anyone with a little emotional intelligence in the workplace wouldn't do that.

He smiled and handed Ye Baoling two tickets: "These are two tickets to Anita Mui's concert. Invite your friends to go with you."

Ye Baoling accepted it without hesitation.

Upon opening the office door, Qu Zhengming was standing outside.

Qu Zhengming was standing here because Ye Baoling had called her.

After the meeting, when Lu Baohua asked her to go to his office, Ye Baoling made an excuse to go to the restroom, but actually went to find Qu Zhengming.

Furthermore, when closing Lu Baohua's office door, they deliberately left it slightly ajar.

Therefore, Qu Zhengming heard the entire conversation between Ye Baoling and Lu Baohua clearly.

Ye Baoling opened the door a little, "President Qu!"

Hearing the sound, Lu Baohua looked over in surprise. He stood up and stared wide-eyed in fright.

He called out softly, "President Qu!"

Qu Zhengming walked in and questioned, "So, the distribution plan was proposed by Gu Baolin, and it has nothing to do with you?"

Lu Baohua gave an awkward laugh and tried to change the subject, "President Qu, please have a seat!"

Qu Zhengming stood in front of the desk. "Answer me."

Lu Baohua then said, "I proposed the plan to Director Liu, but the idea was indeed from Gu Baolin."

"Don't tell me you didn't have a chance to clarify. Director Liu asked you, I asked you, but you didn't tell us the truth. Lu Baohua, you're ruining me!" Qu Zhengming slammed his fist on the table in anger.

The door was wide open, and colleagues in the office area outside were all looking over.

Lu Baohua quickly went to close the door.

Ye Baoling stood at the door, unwilling to go out, and there was nothing he could do.

After closing the door, Lu Baohua explained in a low voice, "President Qu, it's not that serious, is it? I've been with the company for so many years, and I have the seniority to back it up. Logically speaking, I should have been promoted to manager long ago."

Qu Zhengming: "In terms of seniority, Xu Chengping is more senior than you. If it weren't for the distribution plan, the chairman wouldn't even know you existed, let alone promote you out of turn."

Lu Baohua wanted to downplay the issue: "I didn't really think that much about it at the time. I thought a small distribution plan wasn't important. But what do we do now? The infighting at the higher-ups is so fierce. If we start fighting amongst ourselves now, wouldn't it be like the snipe and the clam fighting while the fisherman benefits?"

Qu Zhengming hates internal strife the most. She does her job conscientiously and has no choice but to take sides when her superiors want her to. But if a lowly manager wants to use this to blackmail her, then he is making a big mistake.

She retorted, "If I were to deal with this promotion opportunity that you obtained dishonestly, wouldn't that turn into internal strife?"

That's not what I meant.

Qu Zhengming: "I will report this matter truthfully to my superiors, and they will decide how to handle it. Didn't you think you could get promoted to manager even without a distribution plan? Then be more confident; there's no need to be so apprehensive here."

Lu Baohua: "President Qu..."

If Lu Baohua's promotion appointment is invalidated, he may still be able to continue as his deputy manager. Even if General Manager Qu can no longer tolerate him, he can be transferred to another department and continue to enjoy the treatment of his deputy manager.

Ye Baoling didn't want to give Lu Baohua that opportunity.

"President Qu, there is one more thing I would like to report."

"What's up?"

"At the last new product launch, Gao Lizhen did indeed put the videotape into her backpack. However, she did not expect that someone in the office would tamper with it, secretly take the videotape out of her backpack, and stuff it under the folder on her desk."

Lu Baohua was stunned when he heard this.

When we were getting ready to leave, my colleagues were having a pre-event meeting in the conference room. There was clearly no one else in the office, so how did Ye Baoling know?

Ye Baoling: "And the person who did this was none other than Manager Lu Baohua."

Qu Zhengming looked at Lu Baohua in surprise. She knew that this person's character was not very good, but she did not expect him to be this bad.

Lu Baohua refused to admit it: "I didn't, how could I do such a thing? Gu Baolin, it's just a small favor that wasn't reported for you, why are you so vengeful and deliberately framed?!"

Ye Baoling retorted, "Manager Lu, you've got the order wrong! The videotape swapping happened first, and the order fulfillment plan came later. Do you think I traveled back in time to frame you?"

"..."

Lu Baohua tried his best to calm himself down, "You think you can frame me with just your words? Do you have any evidence?"

“Someone saw you stealing the videotape. I’ll keep who it is a secret for now, but I’ll provide clues when the company investigates.”

If only one person saw it, as long as Lu Baohua firmly denies it, the other party can't do anything about it!

Lu Baohua vehemently denied it: "Why would I steal the videotape? What good would it do me if the videotape were lost? Why would I need to frame a newcomer like Gao Lizhen?"

“On the surface, the loss of the videotape has no direct impact on you, and you have no motive to frame Gao Lizhen. But Manager Xu is in charge of the new product launch. If the launch goes wrong, wouldn't you become the beneficiary you just mentioned?” Therefore, Lu Baohua’s target was never Gao Lizhen, but Xu Chengping.

Xu Chengping and Lu Baohua are both deputy managers, and the two are currently competing for the manager position.

Lu Baohua shook his head: "You're turning the truth upside down. You're trying to collude with others to frame me. I haven't even touched that videotape."

His next sentence gave Ye Baoling a quick opportunity to break through.

Ye Baoling asked calmly, "Are you sure you didn't steal it?"

"I'm 100% sure."

"Did you even touch that videotape?"

"I haven't touched it. I haven't seen it either."

Having successfully lured the other party into this trap, Ye Baoling smiled slightly: "Alright, as long as you're sure you've never touched the videotape. Call the police and let them examine the fingerprints on the videotape."

fingerprint?

Lu Baohua, who was confused by Ye Baoling's words, immediately fell silent.

In his mind, he hadn't stolen or robbed anything; he had simply had a sudden inspiration to hide a videotape. He hadn't even considered the fingerprint issue.

Ye Baoling never imagined that a single witness, a cleaner, could bring down Lu Baohua.

She wanted to put him in a situation where he couldn't justify his actions.

Author's note: Ye Huaizhang: My wife is pretty formidable.

Ye Baoling: Only a little bit? [Let me see]
