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

“Someone is embezzling, and the amount is not small,” Xu San said in a heavy tone.

Ye Feng feigned surprise, "So bold? Director Sun, what do you think?"

Before Director Sun could speak, Xu San took out his phone and opened an electronic financial statement. "Look, these shell employees have been receiving salaries all along."

Director Sun's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure. "Such a thing happened? I will investigate this matter thoroughly and show no leniency!"

Xu San and Ye Feng exchanged a glance.

It's a real shame that Director Sun's acting skills aren't worthy of an Oscar.

"Director Sun is truly insightful," Xu San complimented at the opportune moment.

Having achieved their goal, Ye Feng and Xu San stopped mentioning company matters and started chatting about lighter topics.

After a few rounds of drinks, Director Sun was already somewhat drunk.

Ye Feng pondered to himself.

Of course, it's impossible to know how much of this intoxication was genuine and how much was feigned.

Xu San said he had to drive, so he didn't drink a drop of alcohol.

After leaving the restaurant, Xu San first took Director Sun home, and then took Kong Xiaoyue home.

Kong Xiaoyue's gaze towards Ye Feng held a hint of admiration:

"Mr. Ye, thank you for helping me today."

Ye Feng felt her gaze and awkwardly touched his nose.

"It was nothing, don't worry about it."

"It wasn't a small favor for me," Kong Xiaoyue said softly. "If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would have done. I..."

She paused, as if organizing her thoughts, "I have always admired wise men like Mr. Ye."

Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat; he understood the subtext in Kong Xiaoyue's words.

He smiled slightly awkwardly, "Miss Kong, you flatter me."

"Just call me Xiaoyue." Kong Xiaoyue's voice was even softer, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.

Ye Feng sensed the awkward atmosphere and was wondering how to start the conversation when his phone suddenly vibrated.

It was a text message from Liu Qingyi: I'm drunk, come pick me up.

There was no address in the text message, so where could she be?

Ye Feng immediately dialed Liu Qingyi's number, but no one answered.

He dialed again, but still no one answered.

Ye Feng felt somewhat uneasy.

He glanced at Kong Xiaoyue and said apologetically, "Sorry, I have something urgent to take care of."

Kong Xiaoyue nodded understandingly, "It's alright, Mr. Ye, please go ahead and get back to work."

Ye Feng hurriedly asked Xu San to take Kong Xiaoyue home first.

Ye Feng was anxious and restless.

Qingyi has never acted like this before. Could something have happened?

The car stopped downstairs at Kong Xiaoyue's house.

"Mr. Ye, please drive carefully." Kong Xiaoyue expressed her gratitude again before getting out of the car.

Ye Feng nodded, then quickly sent a message to Wu Dan.

"Could you help me find Liu Qingyi's location? She's drunk and I can't contact her."

A few minutes later, Wu Dan replied: "I found out. She went to Huangmu Club after leaving the company. I stole the surveillance video along the way and have sent it to you."

Ye Feng opened the video and saw that Liu Qingyi's car had indeed entered the Huangmu Club and parked in parking space A5.

"Go to Huangmu Club," Ye Feng said to Xu San, his tone urgent.

Huangmu Club, A5 parking space.

Ye Feng frowned as he looked at the familiar vehicle in front of him.

However, Huangmu Club operates on an appointment-only basis; without an appointment, even if the Emperor himself came, it wouldn't work.

Therefore, Ye Feng was stopped by the security guards.

Ye Feng had a sudden inspiration and said, "I'm President Liu's driver. She's had too much to drink and asked me to pick her up."

The security guard looked Ye Feng up and down. Seeing that he was dressed plainly and didn't seem to be lying, he let him in.

Ye Feng strode into the clubhouse and began searching for Liu Qingyi.

At this time, in the box.

Liu Qingyi felt hot all over and her head was spinning.

She remembered that her secretary, Xiaoli, went out halfway through, saying she was going to the restroom, but she hadn't returned yet.

Only she and President Qin remained in the private room.

Why isn't Ye Feng here yet?

She gripped her phone tightly, her fingertips turning white.

What has he been doing all this time since the distress message was sent?

If they don't come soon, she really won't be able to hold on any longer.

President Qin's greasy hand touched her leg, and Liu Qingyi dodged away abruptly, frowning in disgust.

"President Qin, please have some self-respect!"

President Qin sneered, his eyes filled with greed.

The Liu Group was facing financial difficulties recently, and he seized the opportunity to be so bold tonight.

"President Liu, why be so aloof? Our cooperation would be a win-win situation for both of us, wouldn't it?"

Liu Qingyi suppressed her nausea and said coldly, "President Qin, I hope you can remember that we are just business partners."

"Business partner? Heh, Ms. Liu, you don't really think you can turn the tide all by yourself, do you? Without my help, your company won't last long." Mr. Qin's tone became increasingly flippant, and he reached out to Liu Qingyi again.

Liu Qingyi could no longer bear it and raised her hand to slap him, but President Qin grabbed her hand.

"President Liu, you're asking for trouble! Don't push your luck!"

President Qin roughly dragged Liu Qingyi to the next room.

In the next room, there is a large bed.

Liu Qingyi struggled desperately, almost to the point of despair.

Just then, a rapid knocking sounded on the door, accompanied by an anxious voice: "Qingyi! Qingyi! Are you in there?"

It’s Ye Feng!

A glimmer of hope ignited in Liu Qingyi's heart, and she tried to call for help, but President Qin quickly covered her mouth.

"It's me... um..."

This sound...

It's Qingyi!

Ye Feng kicked open the slightly ajar door.

What came into view was President Qin's greasy face tightly covering Liu Qingyi's mouth, while his other hand roughly tore at her clothes.

Ye Feng's anger erupted instantly. He rushed forward and threw a punch, hitting President Qin squarely on the nose.

President Qin screamed in agony as his obese body collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his nose.

Liu Qingyi was still in shock, and her eyes instantly reddened.

Ye Feng shielded her behind him, his eyes coldly fixed on President Qin on the ground.

"Ten thousand, let's just call it even," President Qin said, covering his nose and speaking indistinctly.

Ye Feng sneered, "One hundred thousand? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"

"Five hundred thousand! Five hundred thousand should be enough, right?" President Qin added when he saw that Ye Feng wouldn't budge.

Ye Feng ignored President Qin and turned to Xu San, who had been silent all along: "Xu San, give him a few slaps."

"Yes, Brother Feng."

Xu San stepped forward and slapped President Qin several times without hesitation.

Mr. Qin, seeing stars from the beating, stammered, "You...you...just you wait! I...I won't let you get away with this!"

Upon hearing this, Xu San slapped him again.

Seeing this, Liu Qingyi quickly grabbed Ye Feng's arm.

"Ye Feng, let's stop this, don't make a scene. He's still our business partner..."

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but finally relented.

Qingyi's concerns were not unfounded; the Liu Group's current situation could not withstand any negative news.
