In the huge hotel box, there were no colorful lights or harsh music, only a few bright white lights cast by the crystal chandelier above the head.

The man was wearing a simple black shirt and black pants, with his collar ripped open impatiently. He leaned lazily on the sofa, his head slightly tilted back, and there was no unnecessary expression on his fair and handsome face.

There were several ice buckets on the table in front of him, with cool air emitting from them.

There were several empty wine bottles in the ice bucket, rolling around unsteadily.

The man raised his hand and took a glass of wine. His light brown eyes were slightly open, and it was unknown what he was thinking.

It was as if he was enveloped by a huge sense of loneliness, and there was dead silence all around him.

When Song Yanzhi hurriedly pushed the door open, Ye Ke followed behind him.

Seeing seven or eight empty whiskey bottles on the table, Song Yanzhi frowned slightly, "Drink so much?"

Seeing him leaning calmly on the sofa, as if drunk, Ye Ke hurried forward and sat next to him, putting her hands on his arms, "Ling Che, what happened? Why did you drink so much?"

Ling Che calmly pulled his arm away, turning a deaf ear to Ye Ke's words. He turned his head and squinted at Song Yanzhi, "Why is she here?"

Song Yanzhi said awkwardly, "A batch of new motorcycles arrived in the store, and a few of us are researching the new cars together."

When Ling Che called to invite him to drink, Ye Ke happened to be next to Song Yanzhi. When she heard it was Ling Che calling, she said she wanted to come with him. He couldn't refuse, so he brought her over.

Seeing that Ling Che seemed unwilling to pay attention to her, Ye Ke's mood sank, "Ling Che, do you really not want to see me?"

She smiled bitterly, "During this period of time, you didn't want to play with us, and you didn't even touch the motorcycle. You've changed a lot."

"Have I changed?" Ling Che squinted at her. "I've always been like this. I play when I want to play, and I don't play when I don't want to."

His eyes were cold and without any warmth.

Ye Ke's heart tightened, "Ling Che, we are at least still friends, why are you so cold to me?"

"Friend?" Ling Che smiled and slowly approached Ye Ke.

His eyes were deep and his face was so handsome that it made people's hearts tremble. Ye Ke couldn't help but hold her breath.

Seeing his face getting closer and closer, Ye Ke's heart was beating wildly.

Suddenly, a hand gripped the back of her neck with such force that it hurt her so much that she woke up instantly.

Ling Che suddenly grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her onto the wine table in front!

"Ah!" Ye Ke suddenly opened her eyes wide and exclaimed in surprise.

"Ling Che!"

Song Yanzhi was also frightened and hurriedly called out to him.

Ling Che suddenly stopped his force, and Ye Ke's forehead was only a few centimeters away from the wine bottle on the coffee table.

Ling Che's cold voice sounded above her.

"Ye Ke, do you think I don't know what you did?"

He gripped the back of her neck tightly. Ye Ke lowered her head and could not move. Tears streamed down her face. "Ling Che, I don't know what you are talking about!"

Ling Che increased the strength in his hands a little more, "I hate liars the most."

Ye Ke was in great pain and cried, "I really don't know what you are talking about!"

He sneered, "You were the one who told Qiao Ruyi the address of Ling Palace, right?"

When these words were spoken, Ye Ke was stunned, and even Song Yanzhi who was standing beside him was stunned.

"I...I..." Ye Ke's tears dripped onto the wine table, "I didn't, I don't know."

"You think I haven't investigated this matter?" Ling Che's tone was filled with an oppressive feeling that left no room for rebuttal.

He suddenly let go of his hand and pushed Ye Ke to the ground.

Ye Ke's legs went weak and she fell to the ground. When she looked up at Ling Che, his eyes were full of disdain and a faint smile hung on his indifferent face.

"Do you think I don't know these little tricks? I didn't bother with you about what happened a year ago, but you've set your sights on Ling Palace."

He looked down at her condescendingly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Ye Ke, what do you want to do?"

Ye Ke's tears rolled down. She just felt unwilling to accept the fact that she didn't even have a chance to stay with Ling Che.

"I'm not planning anything." She looked up at Ling Che, "I just feel that you don't even touch motorcycles anymore. For Qiao Ruyi, you've given up your hobbies and interests, and you've also given up on us bike buddies. I feel it's not worth it for you."

Ling Che found this amusing and asked calmly, "So? You don't think these things are important to me, do you?"

Ye Ke's breath was caught in his throat. It turned out that these things were of no importance to him.

"What about Qiao Ruyi? Is she important to you?"

Ling Che narrowed his eyes and looked at her without saying a word.

Ye Ke asked, "Ling Che, in your heart, who is more important, Qiao Ruyi or that girl?"

Ling Che looked at her with his narrow eyes, then suddenly leaned over and said playfully, "Ye Ke, don't think that just because I took your kidney, you have the right to ask these questions in front of me."

His words were like a bucket of ice water that poured over Ye Ke from head to toe.

Even in August, she felt cold all over.

"You've been quite popular over the past year or so." Ling Che raised one corner of his mouth. "I gave you five million. You should be content."

Seeing him say these words without mercy, Ye Ke realized that a man like Ling Che really has no heart and is unlikely to care about anyone's feelings.

"I see."

Ye Ke propped herself up and stood up from the ground. She stumbled for a moment with weak steps and looked at Ling Che with red eyes. "You and I are not from the same circle. Thank you for letting me recognize my own identity."

His words and his attitude also shattered her last bit of fantasy.

Watching her leave, Song Yanzhi sat down and said with concern, "Mr. Ling, isn't that a bit too cruel?"

Ling Che lit a cigarette and said, "She crossed my line."

Song Yanzhi didn't ask whether his bottom line was Ling Gong or Qiao Ruyi.

He looked at the empty bottle of wine in front of him and said, "I drank quite a bit. Did something happen to Ling Gong?"

This wine has a strong aftereffect. I didn't feel it when I drank it, but now I have a headache.

Ling Che said nothing, slowly blowing out a puff of smoke, "How's the investigation going?"

Song Yanzhi took out a square, palm-sized, white, transparent sealed bag from his pocket. Inside the bag was a black eavesdropping device.

"I checked, and the fingerprints on it can be compared with the secretary next to your uncle." Song Yanzhi's face was slightly serious. "It seems that it is really related to your uncle."

Ling Che's eyes dimmed. "I asked our nanny, and she said he and his secretary were the only ones who went to Yujingwan during those days."

"What on earth does your uncle want to do?"

Ling Che pondered for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking.

"By the way, when will Luo Chen come back?" Song Yanzhi asked.

"It's almost there." Ling Che said lightly.

Song Yanzhi looked like he was enjoying the show, "If this young master comes back, your life will be much more lively."

Ling Che glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he said, "Call Qiao Ruyi and tell her I'm drunk and want her to pick me up."

Song Yanzhi looked at him suspiciously, as he was now extremely sober. "Master Ling, you're not drunk, are you?"

Ling Che turned to look at him and put out his cigarette, "If I say I'm drunk, I'm drunk."
