Chapter 90 The Madman of the Rich and Powerful Criticizes the Fake Heiress 34
Three policemen with stern faces stood at the door. Their expressions were all grim. The phone call was from their superior, and they had just learned that the person they were guarding had slipped away right under their noses.
The phone call came from the owner of Platinum Bay No. 1, and the call went directly to the police headquarters.
The only good thing is that Ye Zhenghong hasn't gone far and is still within the Cloud Top Manor. If he had really escaped and fled the country, they would probably have lost their jobs.
Seeing Ye Zhenghong still around now fills me with lingering fear.
Ye Zhenghong and the three policemen looked at each other, the air seemed to freeze, and it was quite awkward.
Ye Zhenghong!
Unauthorized departure from your place of residential surveillance is a serious violation of regulations and will result in additional penalties. Do you understand?!
The lead policeman said sternly, "Heaven knows how anxious they were on their way here, afraid that the person would slip away right under their noses."
Ye Zhenghong's lips twitched as he tried to explain, "How can this be considered as escaping surveillance? I just came to visit my neighbor, and I'm still in Cloud Top Manor, aren't I?"
"What kind of absconding is this? Don't frame an innocent person, or our lawyer won't let this go."
The police didn't listen to any of that. To prevent things from getting complicated, they quickly stepped forward, took the person into custody, and prepared to take them back.
Before being taken away, Ye Zhenghong reluctantly turned his head and forced a twisted smile in Shen Jixue's direction, his voice deliberately softened, revealing an eerie quality.
"Jixue, bring your mother home for a meal sometime."
The wheelchair made a jarring sound as it rolled over the smooth ground.
Upon returning to the Ye family villa, which now appeared so dilapidated and ordinary, Ye Zhenghong could no longer contain his anger. He, Ye Zhenghong, had always been treated with respect and deference wherever he went in his life. How could he have suffered such a huge blow today!
He collapsed weakly onto the sofa, his face contorted with rage, cursing the police for meddling and loudly wishing Shen Ci and Shen Jixue a terrible death. He regretted that he should have done what the police said and fled the country tonight, finding a new place to start anew!
Ye Canxing finally couldn't hold back her anger any longer and it exploded. Although she didn't have her parents or family with her while she was abroad, she was never short of money and no one ever made her feel bad.
After returning home, he repeatedly encountered setbacks and was even sold off by his own father.
"Dad, how could you do that? You wanted to give me away in front of outsiders."
Did you even ask me what I thought? Do you even have the makings of a father?
Ye Zhenghong was in a fit of anger when he heard this. He suddenly looked up, his eyes fierce and frightening.
"What do you know! That's the owner of Platinum Bay No. 1! If we can establish a connection, the Ye family can be brought back to life!"
"Asking you to serve me is an honor! You ungrateful wretch!"
Everything was planned perfectly, practically flawless, except for one unexpected thing: the owner of Platinum Bay One was Shen Jixue...
It's alright, Ye Zhenghong comforted himself. If this path doesn't work, there's always another one. As long as you don't give up, there's always a way out.
"Tomorrow! Tomorrow you go to the Qin family! Put aside your pride and get Qin Tian to help us no matter what! That's your only value right now!"
Ye Zhenghong roared at Ye Canxing, "Damn it, the child I raised dares to talk back to her father! If I had known things would turn out like this, I wouldn't have brought her back in the first place."
Ye Canxing felt a chill run down her spine, but she dared not contradict them again. She still needed the Ye family. Unlike Shen Jixue, she did not have a powerful and influential mother. She was bound to the Ye family by fate.
The next day.
Ye Canxing went to the Qin family with a heavy heart, but less than half a day later, the Qin family held an emergency press conference.
In front of the camera, Qin Tian, dressed in a suit and tie, calmly announced the annulment of the engagement he had made with the Ye family years ago, claiming that the two were incompatible and the engagement was therefore terminated.
The news came so suddenly that it caught everyone off guard. Ye Canxing returned home in a daze, unable to believe it, yet feeling that everything was somewhat familiar.
Before Ye Zhenghong could even make a move, Qin Tian personally arrived at the door, carrying the tokens they had exchanged during their engagement. Ye Zhenghong was so angry that he trembled all over, pointed at Qin Tian's nose, and cursed him for being treacherous and kicking him when he was down.
Qin Tian put down the token expressionlessly, his tone indifferent.
"Uncle Ye, you know that the business world is like a battlefield."
The Ye family is no longer of any help to the Qin family. Marriage alliances are supposed to be a union of equals, so what's the point now?
You're an old hand; you definitely know more than I do.
Ye Canxing could no longer hold back and questioned him while crying.
"Qin Tian! What does all our years of relationship mean? Were all those things you said when you visited me abroad false?"
Yes, her news abroad was known not only to the Ye family but also to Qin Tian, who had been chosen as a business partner since childhood and was destined to marry her when they grew up. Otherwise, how could the two children develop a relationship?
The Ye family's move can be described as a feint while secretly advancing.
Qin Tian then glanced at her, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
"Feelings? Canxing, you and I both know that it's nothing more than a charade for the sake of family interests."
He changed the subject and asked with sudden interest, "I heard that Ye Jixue is currently living in Platinum Bay No. 1, Cloud Top Manor."
Oh no, it's Shen Jixue?
Ye Canxing was in a fit of anger and blurted it out without thinking.
How did you know?
A meaningful expression immediately appeared on Qin Tian's face.
Ye Zhenghong instantly understood, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
"Butler Liu! Butler Liu! Investigate thoroughly! There's definitely a mole in the family!"
The empty living room was filled only with his echo. He suddenly remembered that Butler Liu had long been Shen Ci's man. The loyal Butler Liu, who had been loyal for many years, had actually become a member of the Shen family. It was all because of this useless biological daughter!
He glared fiercely at the bewildered Ye Canxing, that daughter who was more trouble than she was worth! She would have been better off not coming back at all.
Qin Tian straightened his cuffs, seemingly unconcerned.
"Now that the engagement has been dissolved, I should go and pay a visit to Jixue."
After all, we grew up together. There were some misunderstandings before, so this is a good opportunity to apologize. Even if we can't be husband and wife, it's good to be friends.
Ye Canxing was struck dumb, she could hardly believe her ears. He had just torn up the engagement, and now he was going to try to please the person she hated the most.
She screamed, "Qin Tian! You greedy and treacherous scoundrel! You have no heart at all!"
Was all the love we've had over the years just a lie?
You just explained the engagement to me, and now you're going to find someone else? How can you do this to me?
Qin Tian turned around, looked at her coldly, and spoke in a sarcastic and contemptuous tone.
"If I am a villain, then what about you?"
Didn't I give up on Shen Jixue and choose to be with you? We're just the same kind of people; who's more noble than the other?
