Ye Cangtian returned to Haitain Building after leaving the police station.
He Chuan had gone mad!
This was something he never expected.
He hadn't intended to take the other party's life last night, only to sever his 'life root'. After all, the reason things had escalated to this point was entirely because of that thing.
So Ye Cangtian decided to do a good deed and sever it, so that the young master He wouldn't lose his life in the future for being unable to control that thing.
He just didn't expect that the guy couldn't handle the shock and had been scared silly.
“As for his father, he’s probably not simple. He’s still so composed. I have to guard against his underhanded tactics!” Ye Cangtian lit a cigarette and fell into thought.
For the He family to be able to wield so much influence in Yangzhou's business world, this He Changsheng must be no ordinary person! He certainly wouldn't be as much of a simpleton as his son.
Ye Cangtian wasn't worried about retaliation from the other party, but he was afraid that if they got desperate, they would target Tang Xinwan.
It seemed he needed to make sure Tang Xinwan stayed careful lately!
Soon, he smiled again. He hadn't expected Xu Weiwei to voluntarily testify for him today. This girl usually seized any opportunity to catch him out and bring him to justice, but at a critical moment, she had actually helped him out of a tight spot.
Indeed, women! Hating him to death on the outside, but loving him madly on the inside!
Ye Cangtian's smile was brilliant.
Unbeknownst to him, someone was already approaching from a distance, standing by the guardhouse, frowning as they looked at him. “What are you grinning foolishly about over there?”
Ye Cangtian snapped back to reality, turned around, and saw Xu Weiwei in her police uniform. He couldn't help but laugh, “Officer Xu, why are you here? We only parted less than an hour ago, and you already miss me?”
“As if I’d miss you!” Xu Weiwei rolled her eyes. She was on her way to continue her investigation at the He family's residence and had stopped by out of convenience.
“A man as outstanding as me, wherever I go, whether it's a ghost or a person, it’s normal for them to miss me, isn't it?” Ye Cangtian grinned.
Xu Weiwei couldn't be bothered to listen to his narcissistic rambling, so she questioned, “I’m asking you, were you the one who assassinated He Chuan?”
Ye Cangtian feigned surprise, “Didn’t you already conclude that He Chuan injured himself? Besides, I was at home all last night. If you don’t believe me, you can move in with me from now on.”
Xu Weiwei completely ignored his subsequent words. She was already immune to his lewd remarks. After all, living as neighbors with this scoundrel, if she got angry about everything, she would have fallen ill from rage long ago.
She nodded, “It’s good that it wasn’t you! However, the He family now believes you did it, so I’m worried they might make a move against you. You should be careful yourself lately!”
Ye Cangtian smiled brightly, “Officer Xu, are you worried about me?”
Xu Weiwei’s pretty face flushed slightly, and she spat, snorting, “Who’s worried about you! I’m just afraid the He family will act recklessly. This society still needs to abide by the law. If I really catch you breaking the law, I’ll arrest you the first moment I can!”
Seeing him looking at her with a half-smile, Xu Weiwei snorted with displeasure and turned to leave, “I have something to do, I’m leaving!”
In fact, her heart was pounding. She didn’t understand why she had suddenly sought out Ye Cangtian and said words of warning.
Could it be that she was really worried about that guy?
Impossible! I wish he would just die! Xu Weiwei thought resolutely. She glanced back at him again and saw his usual roguish grin, which made her snort again.
Inside the guardhouse!
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow as he watched the girl drive away in her police car. This girl was acting a bit strangely.
“Little Ye, I think I just saw a police car. Did something happen on our side?” Old Zhang, the security guard who had just finished his rounds inside the building, hurried over.
“It’s nothing, she’s my girlfriend, she just came to talk to me about something!” Ye Cangtian said casually.
“Not bad, I didn’t realize you were quite capable, Little Ye, to find yourself a police officer girlfriend.”
Old Zhang was full of surprise. For people in their line of work as security guards, they were often looked down upon, which was why very few young people chose to be security guards.
Ye Cangtian smiled, “Security guards and police officers are essentially the same, just with different labels on their uniforms!”
Old Zhang looked embarrassed. When had security guards ever been comparable to police officers? They were in completely different leagues!
As they were talking, the beautiful receptionist from the company walked towards the guardhouse.
“Brother Ye, the Chairman just called and asked you to go to her office!”
This receptionist was also a stunning beauty named Li Qian. It was said that her family was quite wealthy, making her a second-generation rich kid. She had recently found a boyfriend and even bought him a car.
Ye Cangtian was on familiar terms with her, often chatting and joking. Upon hearing this, he said, “I know, I’ll be up in a moment.”
Old Zhang on the side looked puzzled. After a while, he asked hesitantly, “Little Ye, you… you and the Chairman… what’s your relationship?”
It wasn’t that he was being overly suspicious. The key was that she was the Chairman!
Old Zhang had been an employee at the company for several years, but he had never had the chance to speak a single word with the Chairman! Yet, the Chairman had personally asked Ye Cangtian to come to her office.
Ye Cangtian finished his cigarette, stomped it out on the ground, and said, “She’s my fiancée!”
“……”
Old Zhang swallowed with difficulty, gazing at Ye Cangtian’s retreating back, completely stunned!
“That’s not right, that police officer is his girlfriend! And the Chairman is his fiancée, this…”
Old Zhang thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Had he not slept well today? Why was he always hearing things! It wasn't until the repeated honking of car horns from outside the guardhouse startled him that he was brought back to reality.
…
In the Chairman’s office!
Tang Xinwan was reviewing documents. It wasn't until Ye Cangtian arrived at the office that she stood up and poured herself a cup of coffee.
“Why was your phone turned off?”
“Forgot to charge it!” Ye Cangtian casually lounged on the sofa, then smiled, “What? Did you need me for something?”
Seeing his uninhibited demeanor, Tang Xinwan was already accustomed to it. She took a sip of coffee to refresh herself and then asked, “Do you know about He Chuan being assassinated and severely injured, ending up in the hospital?”
“I know. I just got back from the police station!” Ye Cangtian said casually.
Tang Xinwan was taken aback and couldn’t help but frown, “This matter has nothing to do with you, right?”
Ye Cangtian shrugged and smiled, “If it really had something to do with me, would I have been let out of the police station?”
“That’s true!”
Tang Xinwan nodded, then sighed, “These are truly troubled times. I can’t believe even He Chuan was assassinated. You should be careful yourself!”
Ye Cangtian chuckled, raising an eyebrow, “It seems you do care about me!”
“I… I’m afraid if you get killed, I won’t have anyone to use as a shield anymore. Care about you? You’re overthinking it!” Tang Xinwan turned away, her face flushed. Sudan Novels
“Alright, I was overthinking it, okay? You didn’t call me here just to say this, did you?” Ye Cangtian asked with a smile. This girl’s impression of him had changed quite a bit recently; she was less cold and even knew to show concern.
“There’s one more thing. Grandpa notified us to go back for dinner tonight!” Tang Xinwan said.
