After the divorce, the aloof CEO begged me not to withdraw my investment.

After another glass of wine, Wang Furong's cheeks flushed.

Ye Feng felt the time was right, so he asked, "You just said there was a problem with the materials at the construction site. What else do you know?"

Wang Furong put down her wine glass and said mysteriously, "I know much more than you think. Behind this lies a huge network of vested interests..."

She gathered her thoughts and continued, "Someone is manipulating all of this in the shadows, with the aim of making huge profits."

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Just as he expected, there was more to the story.

"How did you know?" Ye Feng pressed.

This was something he couldn't understand, but he believed that Old Man Wang wouldn't joke about something like this.

Wang Furong gave a bitter smile: "Although my dad doesn't like me, there are still some things he'll tell me. Besides..."

She paused, her eyes turning colder: "One of the participants was Fatty Wu, who was at the door just now, my ex-boyfriend."

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows.

I never expected that this matter would be related to Fatty Wu.

"Fatty Wu?" Ye Feng repeated the name. "He's just a small-time contractor, how could he possibly be involved in something this big?"

Wang Furong shook her head: "He's not some small contractor; he's just an executor. The real decision-maker is someone else."

"Who is it?" Ye Feng asked anxiously.

Wang Furong slowly uttered three words: "The Third Young Master of Architecture".

Ye Feng's heart was shocked.

He had heard of this name before; it was said that this person had a very powerful background and wielded great influence in the construction industry.

He never expected that this incident would involve him.

Wang Furong continued, "This person has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Even my dad has to give him some leeway."

As Wang Furong was speaking, she suddenly covered her face and started crying, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably.

"In order to gain profit, he actually... used me as a bargaining chip, trying to... trying to curry favor with the third young master of the construction industry..."

She spoke haltingly, her voice choked with emotion.

Ye Feng reached out and handed her a tissue. "Don't cry. Someone like Fatty Wu isn't the right person for you. It's better that he left."

He wasn't unaware of women's feelings; in situations like this, comforting words were far more effective than pressing for answers.

Wang Furong took the tissue, hastily wiped away her tears, and choked out, "He...he also knows something else..."

Ye Feng listened quietly.

“I heard him say that he seems to have the real ledger for this construction project.”

Ye Feng's pupils shrank.

The real ledger!

If we can get our hands on this, the whole truth will come out.

Do you know where the ledger is?

Wang Furong shook her head. "I don't know. He never tells me these things..."

Ye Feng sighed inwardly.

It seems unlikely that we can get our hands on the ledgers directly.

He needs to change his approach.

Wang Furong gradually calmed down, sobbing as she said, "This was all deliberately arranged by someone... targeting the three young masters of the construction industry..."

Ye Feng's heart was shocked.

He had this idea before, but he lacked evidence.

If that's the case, then the situation is even more complicated.

"What evidence do you have?" Ye Feng pressed.

Wang Furong shook her head. "I'm just guessing. My dad also thinks something's fishy..."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment and analyzed, "If someone really orchestrated this, then Fatty Wu is likely just a pawn, and the ledger in his hand is the key evidence."

Wang Furong nodded in agreement.

Ye Feng felt that the most important thing now was to find Fatty Wu and get the ledger.

How can I obtain the ledger?

A direct assault? No way. Fatty Wu is definitely protected; a direct robbery would be too risky.

Bribing him? No way. Since Fatty Wu dared to do something like this, he certainly wouldn't be easily bought off.

Various methods flashed through Ye Feng's mind, but he rejected them one by one.

Wang Furong also pondered the matter, but still couldn't find a feasible solution.

The two remained silent for a long time, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in Ye Feng's eyes. "Perhaps we can turn the tables on them!"

Wang Furong looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Ye Feng did not explain immediately.

After a long silence, he turned to Wang Furong and slowly said, "Since someone wants to use Fatty Wu to deal with the Three Young Masters of Construction, then we'll use them in return..."

Ye Feng left Wang Furong's villa and drove into the night.

On the bus, he carefully recalled the scene of fighting with Fatty Wu and his men in front of Wang Furong's house, trying to remember their characteristics.

Then, he took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Yang Yunqing, asking her to help him secretly check if there were any people like Fatty Wu in the hospital.

Yang Yunqing quickly replied: Yes!

Ye Feng was overjoyed and immediately drove to the hospital.

He met Yang Yunqing in the hospital parking lot.

"Thank you," Ye Feng said sincerely.

"It was nothing," Yang Yunqing smiled. "So, how are you going to thank me this time?"

Knowing Yang Yunqing's personality, Ye Feng didn't stand on ceremony with her. "How do you want to thank me?"

"Treat me to dinner," Yang Yunqing said with a sly smile, "How about that casual restaurant?"

That was a place they used to frequent, filled with memories.

Ye Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely treat you next time."

Ye Feng dialed Xu Wu's number: "Come to the city's central hospital, quick."

Before long, a dark and thin figure appeared in Ye Feng's field of vision; it was Xu Wu.

"Boss!" Xu Wu jogged over and his eyes lit up when he saw Yang Yunqing next to Ye Feng. His tone was tinged with envy. "Boss, you're quite the ladies' man!"

Ye Feng smiled helplessly.

Xu Wu can never shake off his glib tongue.

Xu Wu seemed to realize he had said the wrong thing, scratched his head, and gave an awkward laugh.

"Alright, let's get down to business." Ye Feng pointed to the hospital entrance. "See that fat guy coming out of the emergency room? Keep a close eye on him."

Xu Wu looked in the direction Ye Feng was pointing and saw an overweight man walking out of the emergency room. It was Fatty Wu.

“I saw it, boss.” Xu Wu’s tone became serious.

"Okay, let's follow him for now, and we'll see how things go after that."

Ye Feng and Xu Wu kept a certain distance and quietly followed behind Fatty Wu.

The tracking process was tedious and lengthy, and Ye Feng was under immense pressure. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep in the car.

He had a dream in which Liu Qingyi was pregnant, and he was overjoyed. But then the scene changed, and Qi Xue appeared, gently nestled beside him. Then Yang Yunqing appeared, and the three of them stood together, the atmosphere strange and awkward.

Ye Feng suddenly woke up, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He rubbed his temples, trying to clear his head.

The car had stopped in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by old houses and dimly lit streetlights, which made it seem somewhat eerie.
