After entering the house, Ye Feng gently closed the door, turned around and watched Liu Qingyi take off her high heels and put on slippers.
"Qingyi, thank you for helping me today." He said gently.
Liu Qingyi didn't even look up, and walked straight to the living room: "It was nothing."
Ye Feng followed her to the sofa: "I know you're still angry with me, but Qi Xue and Qin Xiaoran are really just ordinary friends. Going to their place was only because..."
"I don't want to hear it," Liu Qingyi interrupted him, her tone icy.
She sat gracefully on the sofa, picked up the remote and turned on the TV, seemingly uninterested in Ye Feng's topic.
Ye Feng sat down opposite her, looking at her indifferent profile, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Actually, I don't think today's events were because of Chen Yuhao."
Liu Qingyi finally reacted, turning her head with a probing look in her eyes: "Oh? Who else?"
"The clubhouse," Ye Feng paused, "...and the major shareholder."
Liu Qingyi's lips curled into a cold smile: "Looks like you're not stupid after all."
Ye Feng was stunned.
He remembered clearly what happened to Liu Qingyi at the club last time.
Could it be...?
He recalled that Liu Qingyi had secretly contacted witnesses and used her connections to get a forensic examination done, all of which she had kept from him.
It turns out she had already started planning this.
Seeing the surprised look on his face, Liu Qingyi chuckled softly, "Are you surprised I know this?"
Ye Feng did not respond.
He always thought Liu Qingyi was just a career-oriented woman who didn't care much about these things.
In retrospect, he was wrong, and very wrong.
Liu Qingyi's smile faded, her eyes turning serious: "Ye Feng, is it worth risking your life for me?"
"It's worth it." Ye Feng answered without hesitation, his tone firm. "You are my woman, and I'm willing to do anything for you."
Liu Qingyi blushed slightly, but quickly regained her composure: "Is it true that you and Qi Xue are just ordinary friends?"
Ye Feng looked at her earnestly: "I promise."
Liu Qingyi nodded slightly: "So what exactly happened with Qin Xiaoran today?"
Ye Feng briefly explained what had happened, omitting some of the thrilling details, not wanting her to worry any further.
Liu Qingyi went upstairs in her high heels, leaving Ye Feng alone in the living room.
He picked up his phone and dialed Wu Dan's number: "I've arrived, see you at the warehouse."
Ye Feng drove to the branch company warehouse.
Wu Dan and Xu San had been waiting for a long time.
Upon seeing Ye Feng, Wu Dan immediately went to greet him, his face full of relief: "Brother Feng, are you alright? I was so worried about you."
Xu San also came over, looking concerned: "Brother Feng, Wu Dan told us you were taken away by the police, we were so scared!"
Ye Feng patted Xu San on the shoulder and comforted him, "It's nothing, just a false alarm. Chen Yuhao's cause of death has been determined; it was an intracranial vascular injury, and it has nothing to do with us."
Xu San and Wu Dan were finally relieved.
Wu Dan secretly rejoiced that Brother Feng was alright, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Xu San thought to himself, "Brother Feng is indeed Brother Feng. He remains calm even if Mount Tai collapses before him."
Ye Feng glanced around the warehouse and asked, "What's the latest news about the financial records we photographed last time?"
Xu San's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "I was just about to tell Brother Feng about this! Come and see!"
He pulled Ye Feng to a table piled high with restaurant receipts.
Ye Feng picked up a few invoices and flipped through them, discovering that all of these invoices were reimbursed in the name of General Manager Sun, and that they were all purchased at the same women's beauty salon.
"It seems that General Manager Sun and Manager Li have a special relationship," Ye Feng said meaningfully.
Wu Dan added, "This club is right downstairs from Manager Li's house."
Xu San rubbed his hands together, eagerly asking, "Brother Feng, how do we handle this? Can we make something of it?"
Xu San's idea was simple: now that he had caught Sun's weakness, he should make good use of it and, ideally, ruin his reputation.
Ye Feng shook his head: "Let's talk about it later."
He disdained such underhanded tactics; he wanted to defeat his opponent honorably.
Although Xu San was somewhat disappointed, he knew Ye Feng's style of doing things, so he said no more.
He remembered something else and said, "Brother Feng, the security manager recorded us as absent without leave this morning and deducted three days' wages."
Ye Feng glanced at the time; it was almost nine o'clock at night.
He said, "Alright, I'm leaving now. I have some things to take care of."
Ye Feng drove up to Qi Xue's building and looked up at the window with the light on.
He will thank her properly later.
Qi Xue, however, was restless and paced back and forth in the living room.
In the morning, she rashly went to Liu Qingyi and provided the testimony required by the police. Although she believed that there must be a misunderstanding between Ye Feng and Liu Qingyi, she was more worried that Liu Qingyi would not believe that her relationship with Ye Feng was innocent.
She bit her lip, hesitating whether to call and ask about Ye Feng's situation.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Thinking it was Ye Feng, she was overjoyed and quickly ran to open the door.
"Ye Feng..."
Qi Xue's voice abruptly stopped.
The person standing outside the door was not Ye Feng, but the security manager of Ye Feng's branch office.
Qi Xue's face instantly turned cold, and she was about to close the door without thinking.
The security manager reacted quickly, sticking out a foot to block the door.
"Miss Qi, don't be in such a hurry to close the door, I have some good news for you!"
Qi Xue looked at him coldly: "How did you know I live here?"
The security manager chuckled, avoiding the question: "Miss Qi, I managed to get two tickets to Guo Degang's stand-up comedy show. What do you think? Do you like them?"
Qi Xue didn't speak, she just stared at him coldly.
He knew Qi Xue was annoyed with him, but he still couldn't help but find her address. He made a special trip here today, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer to her.
The security manager continued, "So? Do you like it?"
Qi Xue finally spoke: "I like crosstalk, but I don't like watching it with you."
The security manager stepped forward, his body almost pressed against the door frame, blocking Qi Xue's movement to close the door.
"Miss Qi, please don't be so heartless, give me a chance..."
Qi Xue remained expressionless: "Please leave."
The security manager refused to give up and tried to continue persuading him, even attempting to force his way in.
Qi Xue's alarm bells rang loudly, and she suddenly raised her voice: "Help!"
The security manager's expression changed, and he reached out to cover her mouth: "What are you shouting! Don't shout!"
At that critical moment, a strong hand grabbed the security manager by the collar and threw him away violently.
The security manager fell heavily to the ground with a muffled groan.
Qi Xue hurriedly straightened her disheveled clothes, and looking back in shock, she saw Ye Feng.
He's here.
Qi Xue felt a sense of relief, and all her tension turned into grievance.
