"this……"
Jiang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, after all, he wanted to finish his business as soon as possible and get away, this was not a place to stay for long.
However, Ye Chen suddenly pressed down on his shoulder, made him sit on the sofa, and then took out a complete set of fine teaware from the kitchen.
Soon the aroma of tea filled the air, creating a refreshing and pleasant feeling.
Just by smelling the aroma, Jiang Mingyuan knew that this tea was quite valuable.
"This is a type of oolong tea that the Huo family often purchases. It is expensive because its annual production is very limited. Tea merchants supply it not only to the Huo family, but also to a few members of royal families around the world."
Ye Chen secretly observed Jiang Mingyuan's expression.
He knew that a person who is inherently greedy would not give up any benefit, even in dangerous circumstances.
For example, the tea leaves in front of you.
Jiang Mingyuan pondered for a moment, smiled, picked up the teacup in front of him, and while drinking the tea, his eyes darted around like a thief.
Ye Chen scoffed. It seems that one is influenced by one's company. Spending too much time with someone like Gu Mang has made Jiang Mingyuan's temperament similar to his.
"Mr. Jiang," Ye Chen chuckled, "what have you taken a fancy to?"
"No...it's nothing."
"What's the use of just taking a medicine box after all this trouble?" Ye Chen said deliberately. "Besides, I heard from the young master that even if you take the box back and sell it, you'll only get a 20% cut of the profits at most!"
"What?" Jiang Mingyuan was stunned. "He...he said that?"
Ye Chen casually tugged at his tie, a slight smile playing on his lips. "We're all in the same boat now, I have no reason to lie to you!"
A look of doubt crossed Jiang Mingyuan's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.
“By the way, Mr. Jiang,” Ye Chen said in a low voice, “you probably don’t know where Jiang Yao is, do you? She’s been locked up by Huo Zhiyan in the horse farm behind the manor!”
"this……"
Jiang Mingyuan's eyes widened, and after a while he spat out, "That useless brat!"
Ye Chen was taken aback and squinted at him.
As a father, shouldn't your first reaction to hearing that your daughter has been wronged be to stand up for her?
But Jiang Mingyuan actually blamed Jiang Yao for being useless.
No wonder... Jiang Yao grew up to be that arrogant, domineering, and shallow person. Growing up in such a family, with such an abnormal father, it's no wonder Jiang Yao couldn't be normal!
In this light, Jiang Can is quite lucky; at least she didn't grow up with Jiang Mingyuan.
Ye Chen reached into his suit pocket and touched the voice recorder.
Jiang Mingyuan frowned, and after a long while muttered to himself, "It seems I'll have to rely on Cancan again in the future... Ha, Yin Wenxi really knows how to train a woman. Her daughter can easily hold a man's soul in her grasp! Young Master Huo is completely under her control!"
"Rely on Jiang Can?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "She's not your biological daughter!"
"How could it not be?" Jiang Mingyuan directly showed the DNA test results. "Look at this, isn't this one you had someone forge?"
Ye Chen pretended to lean closer to look, then asked him in a more emphasizing tone, "A forgery?"
"Yeah! It was forged by you!" Jiang Mingyuan rolled his eyes, then carefully put away the authentication certificate. "You forgot about the thing you made?"
"Oh, I remember now!" Ye Chen smiled. "Yes, I had someone forge it!"
“Mr. Jiang, you know this certificate is fake. What if it gets exposed…”
"No!" Jiang Mingyuan waved his hand. "This isn't for Old Master Huo to see. I'll show it to Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can, that's enough!"
What do you want?
Jiang Mingyuan smiled but remained silent.
Ye Chen coaxed him into speaking, "You want to use this to threaten them?"
Jiang Mingyuan coughed twice, "Although this isn't as valuable as the prescription, I believe Huo Zhixing definitely wouldn't want this to appear in front of his grandfather! Old Master Huo values lineage the most, and Jiang Can was able to marry into the Huo family only because she is Yin Ruohong's daughter..."
“But what would Old Master Huo think if he saw this?” Jiang Mingyuan smiled sinisterly. “Huo Zhixing finally managed to marry Jiang Can, would he give up so easily? Heh, so I believe he would give me a considerable sum of hush money for his wife!”
"Heh, heh heh." Ye Chen chuckled inwardly, wondering if Jiang Mingyuan represented the lowest possible level of human intelligence.
However, he had no choice but to go along with what Huo Zhixing said: "Yes, Huo Zhixing will definitely do that, and then Mr. Jiang will have a large sum of money coming in!"
Jiang Mingyuan looked smug and took another sip of tea.
"However... Mr. Jiang, you're such a shrewd businessman, yet you still managed to bring down the Jiang family business. That's really unacceptable!"
Jiang Mingyuan's expression immediately changed. "I made a mistake!"
"But you must have a lot of money!"
"How...how did you know?" Jiang Mingyuan immediately became alert.
When it comes to gathering evidence, Ye Chen has always been a shrewd hunter, able to lure his prey into a trap step by step.
“Mr. Jiang, given my relationship with the eldest young master, he already told me about your affair. Back then, when the Yin family's daughter, Yin Wenxi, left Nanyang and came to Jiangzhou, wasn't it you who deliberately brought her home?”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mingyuan's expression stiffened, and he frowned, staring intently at him.
"you……"
Is that right?
"I...I don't want to talk anymore!" Jiang Mingyuan evaded the question. "Just tell me where the box is!"
Ye Chen sneered and continued pouring tea, leisurely sipping it himself.
Jiang Mingyuan was stunned. Why was this lawyer drinking again?
It seems this guy isn't planning to find the box unless he says something.
He originally intended to find it himself, but the villa was too big, he didn't have much time, and he also had to be wary of Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing returning at any time...
