Chapter 24 Strategizing Amidst the Unfolding Events

"Let us go! Otherwise, we'll harass you every day and stop you from working!"

"How dare you! I warn you! My elder brother is right outside the door! If you dare lay a hand on me, my elder brother will come in immediately and he won't let you off!"

"Gentlemen, we were wrong! Ow! Easy, it hurts too much..."

"I'm calling the police! Call the police quickly! Police, come save us!"

...

Yu Ji, standing nearby, completely ignored the shouts of these punks. He directly called Ye Zhi and explained the current situation.

"They have another elder brother?" Ye Zhi asked indifferently.

Although everything was arranged by her, she was currently in her office and not at the scene. After all, the scene was too chaotic. If she got hurt or if someone reckless rushed forward and took her hostage, it wouldn't be good. She wasn't the type to play the hero.

Of course, she was also indulging in the thrill of strategizing from afar and winning battles a thousand miles away.

"That's what they said, but I had someone check. There were no other suspicious groups near the construction site," Yu Ji said.

Ye Zhi tapped her fingers on the table and said sternly, "Ask them about that elder brother."

Yu Ji turned around. The interviewees had already subdued all the punks. These punks had lost their arrogant demeanor from when they first arrived, and were now all shouting for mercy.

"Stop howling!" Yu Ji interrupted them impatiently. He walked up to the leading punk and asked sternly, "What about your elder brother? Did he send you here?!"

The punk, already bruised and swollen, immediately put on a fawning smile and said, "Brother, that's not my elder brother, he's just some rich kid with more money than sense! He gave us some money and told us to cause trouble, to find your young lady... your boss! He said to surround your young lady, then notify him, and he'd rush over. We'd cooperate with him to stage a heroic rescue, letting him save your young lady! Don't worry, that young master instructed us to just smash some things to make a show of it, and try not to hurt anyone..."

Yu Ji's call was not hung up. Ye Zhi heard everything clearly through the earpiece of her phone. Now, she understood who was behind this.

"Brother, if you need it, I can give you that person's contact information right now! Even if it goes to the police, I'll testify for you!" the punk said righteously, turning around and selling out the 'elder brother'.

"Ms. Ye, what do we do now?" Yu Ji turned around and asked, holding his phone.

"Tell them to contact that young master and say everything went smoothly, and ask him to come and save them," Ye Zhi said indifferently.

Yu Ji was stunned. "Then what happens when they arrive?"

"These people must be in league with these punks, so they're rushing to save them, right? As for anything else... there's no surveillance here anyway," Ye Zhi said indifferently.

Yu Ji understood, "Ms. Ye, I get it."

Soon, Zhou Cheng Yuan, who was waiting nearby, received the message. His eyes lit up, and he immediately said to the driver in the front, "Quick, drive to the Feng Le Ju construction site!"

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

Soon, the car arrived at the main entrance, and Zhou Cheng Yuan eagerly got out.

Two bodyguards also followed him, hurrying behind Zhou Cheng Yuan.

One bodyguard advised, "Young Master Zhou, don't rush..."

"What do you know! I need to go in a hurry to show Ye Zhi that woman how much I care about her! Moreover, I'm appearing before her to save her when she needs it most. I don't believe this won't move her! Right," Zhou Cheng Yuan turned back, his expression serious, and said to the two bodyguards, "Remember, you must cooperate with me later. My pose must be cool!"

The two bodyguards nodded repeatedly.

They rushed to the scene. Zhou Cheng Yuan saw a crowd gathered from a distance and immediately shouted, "Get out of the way! Miss Ye Zhi, I've come to save you!"

Saying this, Zhou Cheng Yuan shouted and charged in.

Those people were also considerate and quickly cleared a path.

When Zhou Cheng Yuan rushed into the center, he was suddenly stunned. This wasn't right! The people he had found were not this many, nor were they this strong!

Wait, weren't the punks being held by this group the ones he had hired?

Suddenly, the people surrounding him burst into laughter, revealing their pearly white teeth.

"Well, well, there's even a helper! Beat them!" Yu Ji shouted.

"Wait! I..." Zhou Cheng Yuan shouted, but before he could finish, a fist flew out and hit him hard in the face.

In the end, Ye Zhi called the police.

When the police arrived, they arrested Zhou Cheng Yuan and the punks and took them to the police station. Seeing the police, they were so touched they cried like they had seen their relatives.

Yu Ji went to the police station and explained the situation.

Of course, in his account, it was natural that they were about to start construction when a group of punks suddenly came to demand protection fees. They didn't want to escalate the situation and just wanted them to leave.

But who knew that not only did these punks not surrender, they even dared to resist, so the interviewees who happened to be there that day acted heroically and subdued them.

However, just as they were preparing to take the punks to the police station, the punks' reinforcements came to their rescue, so they took them down as well.

Yu Ji had a video of them driving away the punks, and coupled with the punks' testimony that they were instructed by Zhou Cheng Yuan to cause trouble, the entire matter became crystal clear. The police immediately detained Zhou Cheng Yuan.

Zhou Cheng Yuan was furious. He was beaten up for no reason, and he was even locked up! Immediately, he arrogantly proclaimed his identity at the police station, shouting that he was a young master of the Zhou family and wanted to see a lawyer.

The police immediately became vigilant. The young master of the Zhou family was involved in underworld activities privately? This was no small matter. They immediately locked Zhou Cheng Yuan in an interrogation room for questioning. Seeing that the situation had escalated, Zhou Cheng Yuan immediately confessed everything.

Ye Zhi also learned about what happened at the police station through Yu Ji.

"Ms. Ye, I heard that young master Zhou is clamoring to see you," Yu Ji asked, "Do you want to see him?"

"I don't have time," Ye Zhi said indifferently, "We'll talk about it later."

"Alright." Yu Ji then hung up the phone.

But the next moment, Ye Zhi's phone rang again.

The call was from Ye Yong Xian. Ye Zhi quickly pressed the answer button.

"Xiao Zhi, I heard someone caused trouble at the Feng Le Ju construction site? And it was that Zhou Cheng Yuan?" Ye Yong Xian asked with concern, "Are you alright? Are you injured?"
