Jiangbei City Public Security Bureau.
Ye Chen and Chen Wu’s group of four walked out.
Ye Chen’s face was dark, and Chen Wu and the others didn’t look good either.
Chen Wu said in a low voice, “Dragon King, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back first.” There was still a clear slap mark on his face, Ye Chen’s handiwork.
The other three were also injured. One had his leg in a cast, one had his arm in a cast, and one was clutching his kidney area.
The only reason they were here was because Ye Chen had called them over to testify.
Half an hour earlier, after Ye Chen watched Tang Shiyu enter the elevator, he was about to step outside for a cigarette.
Several police cars suddenly pulled up in front of the company.
They tried to arrest Ye Chen right away. Joke. Who was Ye Chen? The head of Dragon King Hall!
Abroad, even those *** didn’t dare raise their voices in front of him.
But the police directly showed the video of him beating someone.
With no choice, he was quietly handcuffed, had a black hood put over his head, and was shoved into the police car.
Once at the station, he was interrogated nonstop, accused of intentional injury and causing strong public backlash.
Although Ye Chen could make one phone call and have the station release him immediately, now wasn’t the time to use connections.
So he called over the “victims,” Chen Wu and the other three.
After they arrived, they explained that they were filming short videos, shooting skits.
Only then were they released.
They were also fined 500 yuan.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt nothing but frustration.
In his previous life, none of this ever happened.
Everything had gone smoothly for him. Whatever he wanted came easily.
“You all go back first,” Ye Chen nodded. Seeing the brother limping as he walked, a trace of guilt rose in his heart. These were men who had fought alongside him overseas for many years. He stopped Chen Wu and said, “There’s 1 million yuan in this card. Buy some things and nourish yourselves.” As he spoke, he tossed the bank card to Chen Wu.
Chen Wu gave Ye Chen a complicated look. Although he didn’t understand why Ye Chen had done this, even truly beaten them, at this moment Chen Wu knew Ye Chen was still Ye Chen.
Without saying anything, Chen Wu nodded and put the card away.
All his money was in Swiss banks.
He really didn’t have much Dragon Nation currency on him right now. He originally had over 100,000 yuan, but this whole mess wiped it out.
Watching Chen Wu’s group of four drive away in their QQ car, Ye Chen pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
“Jiang Chengye.”
Ye Chen muttered softly.
The only difference from his previous life was that Jiang Chengye hadn’t appeared where he should have.
That directly caused the original plotline to change.
Jiang Chengye was a key figure.
He took out his phone and called Alice overseas.
Alice was a beautiful foreign girl from the United States, a top-tier hacker.
“Help me investigate someone named Jiang Chengye. I want all his information.”
After speaking, he hung up.
He finished his cigarette. Just as he tossed the butt away, Ye Chen’s phone chimed.
Alice had sent Jiang Chengye’s information.
He found a shaded spot under a tree, sat down, and carefully went through it.
After reading everything, his brows knitted tightly.
Jiang Chengye was still Jiang Chengye. There wasn’t the slightest discrepancy.
This information was exactly the same as what he had seen in his previous life.
Ye Chen couldn’t figure out which link had gone wrong. Without the Heavenly Dao’s favor, his intelligence was now dropping in a straight line.
He never considered the possibility that Jiang Chengye might also have been reborn.
In Ye Chen’s worldview, he was the protagonist. Only he deserved rebirth and transmigration!
“Why, why! I was about to go to the Imperial Capital for revenge! Why did I suddenly transmigrate back again for no reason?!”
At this moment, Ye Chen had no excitement about rebirth at all. He had been so close to his goal, yet everything suddenly reset.
Painful as it was, he had no choice but to accept reality.
He stood up, hailed a taxi, and prepared to return to the company to continue standing guard.
There was a banquet tonight. He still had a role to play.
And Tang Shiyu had personally invited him.
Thinking of his several female leads, the corners of Ye Chen’s mouth unconsciously lifted.
The taxi that had been about to stop in front of him saw Ye Chen’s smile and immediately floored it, shooting away in an instant.
The smile on Ye Chen’s face froze as he stared blankly at the speeding taxi.
After rebirth, everything had become strange.
He restrained his expression, and only then managed to get a taxi.
After arriving at Tangyu Group, everyone looked at Ye Chen strangely.
“Not bad. You’ve got guts. Filming skits and making such a huge scene, even daring to tease CEO Tang.”
Li Linhai, the other security guard on duty with Ye Chen, patted Ye Chen’s shoulder and laughed.
Ye Chen froze, then his expression changed, “How do you know?”
Ye Chen nearly split apart on the spot.
It was issued by Jiangbei City Public Security Bureau.
It was the clarification about Ye Chen’s assault incident.
It clearly stated that Ye Chen and the others had done it for attention.
All five were acquaintances. Everything was purely for entertainment effect.
Ye Chen almost passed out.
“When I saw this article, I knew you were fine. But damn, you’ve got balls. I don’t think you were filming skits. Were you trying to attract CEO Tang’s attention?”
Li Linhai put away his phone and looked at Ye Chen with a cheap grin.
“Get lost!”
Ye Chen growled, murderous intent leaking from his body as he turned and walked away.
Li Linhai had wanted to mock Ye Chen a few more times, but Ye Chen’s almost murderous gaze stunned him in place, leaving him standing there blankly.
After Ye Chen stepped outside, he called Alice again, “Delete all videos and articles about me in Dragon Nation today. Everything!”
“Boss, your exposure is too high. If I operate now, it will attract the Dragon Nation Cybersecurity Bureau.”
Alice’s seductive voice came through the phone, carrying more helplessness this time.
“I don’t care. Do it immediately. This is an order!”
Only now did Ye Chen realize how important the internet was.
This morning, there had been a crowd filming on-site.
In his previous life, Jiang Chengye had cleared the area before confessing.
Bodyguards strictly prevented anyone from recording.
This time, he had acted too hastily and completely ignored these details.
And if Tang Shiyu saw this article released by Jiangbei City Public Security Bureau, everything would collapse instantly.
He should have used connections from the start. Now all he felt was regret.
Without the Heavenly Dao’s favor, Ye Chen had already become someone with severely reduced intelligence.
“Understood, boss.”
Alice replied, then hung up.
Ye Chen looked up at the top floor of Tangyu Group, where Tang Shiyu was.
Thinking about it now, Tang Shiyu must have already seen that article.
He had foolishly come back to wait for Tang Shiyu’s invitation.
Invitation? Invite my ass. Unless Tang Shiyu’s intelligence had dropped below zero!
