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

The following day, the Yip Group.

Ye Feng sat behind his large desk, his fingertips lightly tapping the surface, making a rhythmic sound.

He picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Xu San, come to my office."

Xu San's respectful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Okay, Brother Feng."

Ye Feng hung up the phone and looked out at the bustling city scene.

He knew that some things needed to begin.

A short while later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Xu San pushed open the door and entered, standing respectfully in front of Ye Feng.

"Brother Feng, you were looking for me?"

Ye Feng handed Xu San a document, "Go to the branch office, report to the security department, and become a team leader."

Xu San took the document and paused for a moment.

Branch office security team leader? This…

He looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression, "Brother Feng, is there... any special arrangement?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly, "You'll know when you get there."

Xu San is capable enough to do this job, and he has more important plans.

Although Xu San was puzzled, he nodded without hesitation, "Brother Feng, I understand."

In the branch company's security department, a group of burly security guards were chatting idly in a relaxed atmosphere.

Xu San's arrival immediately caught their attention.

"Oh, new here?" A security guard with a burly face sized up Xu San with a sidelong glance.

The other security guards also cast scrutinizing glances at them.

Most of them were dissatisfied with the newly appointed team leader, but they dared not show it openly due to orders from above.

Xu San looked around, his gaze steady. "I'm the new team leader, Xu San."

"Team leader? You?" The burly security guard who had spoken earlier sneered. "Skinny arms and legs, what can you do?"

This is a deliberate provocation, meant to intimidate him.

Xu San didn't waste any words and walked straight up to the burly security guard. "You're not convinced?"

The burly security guard, neck stiff with arrogance, retorted, "So what if you're not convinced?"

Before he finished speaking, Xu San struck with lightning speed, knocking the burly security guard to the ground with a single punch.

The surrounding security guards were stunned, not expecting the new team leader to be so ruthless.

Xu San clapped his hands and glanced at everyone. "Anyone else who's not satisfied? I'll only give you one chance."

To establish authority, you must be quick, accurate, and ruthless.

No one dared to take another step forward.

Xu San nodded in satisfaction.

Not long after Xu San had subdued the crowd, Ye Feng arrived.

"Brother Feng," Xu San greeted respectfully.

Ye Feng nodded without saying a word and walked straight to the warehouse at the back door.

He took a key out of his pocket and tossed it to Xu San.

"Open the door."

Xu San took the key, inserted it into the lock, and gently turned it. The warehouse door creaked open.

A musty smell wafted over, and the warehouse was dimly lit, with only a mountain of junk visible.

Ye Feng frowned and covered his nose with his hand.

"Go find someone to clean this place up."

Xu San responded and turned to leave.

Ye Feng stood at the warehouse entrance, looking at the messy warehouse with a furrowed brow.

Wu Pangzi's lost ledger is very likely hidden here.

Before long, Xu San returned, followed by a slightly thin man wearing glasses.

“Brother Feng, no one in the security department is willing to come, except for him…” Xu San hesitated.

"My name is Wu Dan," the bespectacled man said softly.

Ye Feng glanced at Wu Dan and nodded.

"let's start."

He didn't say much; he knew time was of the essence.

Wu Dan and Xu San began cleaning the warehouse, moving out the miscellaneous items one by one and sorting them.

Dust filled the air, and a pungent smell permeated the warehouse.

Ye Feng watched from the side, occasionally flipping through some documents and materials.

He whispered to Xu San, "Focus on finding a ledger, a black one, it's very likely hidden in a box or cabinet."

Xu San nodded in understanding and began searching even more carefully.

Time passed second by second, and the clutter in the warehouse was gradually cleared out, but the ledger still did not appear.

Ye Feng's heart sank.

The hope of finding this ledger is becoming increasingly slim.

The wall clock pointed to twelve o'clock.

Tonight's search is destined to end in vain.

Ye Feng walked out of the warehouse and took off his mask.

Xu Wu's car was parked on the side of the road. When he saw Ye Feng come out, he immediately got out of the car and opened the door.

Ye Feng got into the car and rubbed his temples wearily.

"go home."

Xu Wu silently started the car and drove towards Ye Feng's house.

The next morning, Ye Feng's brief sleep was broken by his cell phone ringing.

"Brother Feng, we searched the warehouse from top to bottom, but found nothing." Xu San's voice was weary.

Ye Feng rubbed his temples.

The ledger may not actually be in the warehouse.

"I understand. You focus on your work and put the account book aside for now." Ye Feng hung up the phone, but he hadn't given up on finding the account book.

He always felt that things were not that simple.

After get off work, Ye Feng drove to Liu Qingyi's villa.

The electronic lock at the villa's entrance recognized his facial information, and the door slid open silently.

Ye Feng entered the villa and went straight to the kitchen.

He tied on his apron and began preparing dinner. Tonight's dishes were more plentiful than usual, and they looked and smelled delicious.

Ye Feng meticulously arranged the tableware, even choosing a vintage of red wine that Liu Qingyi liked.

He wanted to make up for what he had neglected Liu Qingyi during this period.

Liu Qingyi returned home on time, and as soon as she opened the door, she smelled the aroma of food.

She noticed the red wine on the table, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"What day is it today? Why is it so grand?" Liu Qingyi put down her bag and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing. I've just been too busy lately and haven't spent enough time with you. Consider this my apology."

Ye Feng looked at Liu Qingyi with tender eyes.

Liu Qingyi walked to the dining table, looked at the delicious food on the table, and smiled slightly.

"Wow, your career is thriving, and even your cooking has improved!" she teased.

Looking at Liu Qingyi's expression, Ye Feng tentatively asked, "Are things going smoothly at the company?"

A smile appeared on Liu Qingyi's face: "We've secured a deal worth 100 million yuan, so the funding issue is resolved."

"I will pay you back that ten million as soon as possible."

She doesn't need him anymore?

Ye Feng felt as if something had struck his heart hard.

A sense of loss welled up inside me.

Liu Qingyi seemed oblivious to his change and suggested, "Such a good day, we should celebrate."

Ye Feng forced a smile and nodded.

The two raised their glasses, each with their own thoughts.

After a few rounds of drinks, both of them were a little tipsy.

Liu Qingyi lay on the sofa, her head resting on Ye Feng's lap.

The room was silent except for the soft breathing of the two people.

A sudden ringing of the bell startled Ye Feng awake from his sleep.

He fumbled for his phone, but the screen was completely black; the call had ended.

The missed calls were from an unknown number.

Ye Feng regained some of his senses and rubbed his sleepy eyes.

A faint aroma of alcohol filled the living room, and he then remembered that he and Liu Qingyi had drunk quite a bit last night.

He turned to look at his side, where Liu Qingyi was curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.

Soft light shone on her face, and her long eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyelids, making her look exceptionally serene.

Qingyi is so beautiful.

He carefully picked up Liu Qingyi, carried her to the bedroom, gently placed her on the bed, and covered her with a blanket.

Ye Feng returned to the living room, picked up his phone again, and dialed the unfamiliar number back.

"Hello?" came Qi Xue's slightly hoarse voice from the other end of the phone.

"Qi Xue? What's up so late?" Ye Feng asked.

My computer is broken, can you come and take a look at it?

"Your computer's broken? Go find someone to fix it." Ye Feng said helplessly.

"It's too late... Where can I find someone to repair a computer now... Only you can help me..." Qi Xue's voice sounded somewhat aggrieved.

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

He drove to Qixue's residence.

Qi Xue opened the door, saw Ye Feng, and a surprised smile appeared on her face.

"You've finally arrived! It's so hard to get you out of that 'honey trap' place."

Ye Feng ignored her teasing and went straight to the computer.

"Finish it quickly, I need to go back."

He checked the computer and found it was just a simple problem of not being able to turn it on.

Ye Feng plugged in the power, and the computer screen lit up.

He looked at Qi Xue with a somewhat speechless expression.
