"What am I doing here? I'm here to find you, you scourge!" Chi Ye's finger nearly poked You Jiale's face, his voice cracking with rage. "If it weren't for you, you shameless vixen, who knows what kind of bewitching potion you gave Xiande, would my brother Zhiyuan have ended up like this?! It's all your fault!"
The lingering smile on He Mingzhou's face vanished instantly. He took a step forward, raised his arm, and blocked You Jiale's path, his tone tinged with displeasure: "Chi Ye, watch your mouth! This isn't the place for you to throw a tantrum!"
Upon seeing this, Chi Ye's eyes widened even more, as if they were about to spit fire. He pointed at He Mingzhou, spittle almost flying onto his face: "What's wrong? He Mingzhou, you've also been bewitched by this vixen? I must have been blind! I must say, your skills in seducing men are quite impressive, no wonder Zhiyuan couldn't outsmart you! Bah! Shameless!"
You Jiale's already tense face suddenly turned cold.
He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Ikeno hard in the stomach. "I've been putting up with you for too long!"
"You have a foul mouth, and you even dare to insult me! I used to think you were just a jerk with your words, but I never imagined you were even more wicked! You better not know what Pei Zhiyuan did to me! If you do know, or if you were the one who came up with this bad idea behind my back, I'll fucking kill you!"
Caught off guard, Chi Ye staggered back several steps after being kicked by You Jiale, clutching his stomach, his face contorted in pain. He roared and lunged at You Jiale with his fist raised. The two instantly began to wrestle, exchanging blows, neither gaining the upper hand, and the courtyard descended into chaos.
Seeing this, He Mingzhou quickly stepped forward to try to separate the two, but in the chaos, he was hit hard on the arm and back several times.
Just as chaos erupted, a deep voice, sharp as ice, broke through the commotion: "Enough!"
Zhang Xiande appeared at the entrance of the courtyard at some point. His appearance seemed to bring an invisible pressure, and the two people who were just fighting slowed down, as if a pause button had been pressed.
Zhang Xiande walked over to You Jiale in a few steps, pulled him up from the ground, and shielded him behind him.
“Chi Ye,” Zhang Xiande’s voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable warning, “You saw what happened to Pei Zhiyuan. Brothers are here to go to great lengths for each other, not to have you scheme and plot behind their backs. From now on, don’t bother You Jiale again!”
Chi Ye clutched his stomach, which was throbbing from the kick, and stared incredulously at Zhang Xiande, who was protecting You Jiale. His anger burned even brighter: "Xiande! You...you actually spoke to me like that for such a slut?! Pei Zhiyuan was so good to you, and you actually abandoned him to protect this..."
"Get out!" Zhang Xiande's voice suddenly rose, carrying an unquestionable command.
Chi Ye glared fiercely at You Jiale, his eyes filled with hatred as if he wanted to devour him alive. Then, with a bang, he slammed the door and left.
Although You Jiale's anger hadn't completely subsided and his chest was still heaving violently, he had clearly heard Zhang Xiande say, "You've seen Pei Zhiyuan's fate." What happened to Pei Zhiyuan?
How come he didn't know? Could it be... that Zhang Xiande did something to Pei Zhiyuan? But that night, he was the one who couldn't stand it and beat Pei Zhiyuan up badly. What does that have to do with Zhang Xiande?
In an instant, countless questions flooded his mind, like a tangled mess of thoughts. He looked up at Zhang Xiande, whose protective gesture reminded him of the night this man had tormented him to the point of near death, and he immediately pulled his hand back.
Zhang Xiande was taken aback, but when he turned around, he saw He Mingzhou standing to the side. He then spoke in a petty and sarcastic tone, "Commissioner He, isn't today the last day of your inspection? Once you're done, hurry back to the Municipal Administration Bureau. Isn't the Municipal Administration Bureau busy enough?"
He Mingzhou naturally sensed the dissatisfaction and the intention to drive Zhang Xiande away in his words, and said with a hint of deliberate intent, "I came to see Jiale. He hasn't been very happy lately, so it's only right that I show him some concern."
He walked over to Yu Jiale, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a reassuring tone, "It's all right now. 'Leji' can run smoothly. I've always said Jiale, you're great. Now that business is done, I'll be going. But in private, I'm still your Brother He. You can always come to the city government to find me if you need anything."
Yu Jiale tried hard to suppress the complicated emotions she felt towards Zhang Xiande, and gave He Mingzhou a forced smile: "Thank you, Brother He. I will definitely visit you at the Municipal Government when I have time."
After seeing He Mingzhou off, You Jiale took a deep breath, turned around, and said to Zhang Xiande, who was standing there with an unreadable expression, "Come here, I have a few questions for you."
