After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

[Master, we've found some preliminary information; Mu Zhihong is indeed problematic.]

On the way back, Ye Sanqing closed his eyes to rest while listening to Xiaochong's report.

On the surface, Mu Zhihong appears to be a charming and sophisticated man who has dated many women, mostly socialites and celebrities.

His former partners were of all types, and none of them were alike. Moreover, they all spoke highly of him, and even after breaking up, they often publicly defended him.

Mu Zhihong also owns some businesses, which at first glance seem quite normal, and he barely qualifies as a "diamond bachelor".

[If everyone only mentions a person's good points, it means they're a good actor.] Ye Sanqing naturally didn't believe there were perfect people in the world. There aren't any in any world!

Moreover, Ye Sanqing trusted her intuition; Mu Zhihong's gaze just now was definitely malicious.

It's just unknown from what angle the other party will attack, and what their purpose will be.

Considering the information we just gathered, it's highly likely he's targeting her next. If that's all, it's manageable, but if he has other motives, it could be more complicated.

Ye Sanqing looked at his fist.

[The uncle is quite confident.] Ye Sanqing began to think about whether he should continue to practice and try to knock the uncle unconscious with two punches.

As for Mu Zhihong, who was mentioned, he had just finished coaxing Ye Xi, who was like a little girl, and took advantage of the fact that she had fallen asleep to go to the balcony and make a low-pitched phone call.

"I saw her today, bro. Is it really worth me getting involved with such a little girl?"

"She may be young, but she doesn't hold back when she strikes, and Ye Yifan is protecting her."

"Isn't she still a woman? All women are the same; once you've slept with them, they're all obedient." Mu Zhihong chuckled wickedly. He hadn't tried someone like Ye Yifan yet. Once he got her, the two sisters would serve him together, and he could consider playing with them for a while before switching to someone else.

Especially since... both sisters have such fiery tempers, wouldn't it be quite a sight to see them fight over him?

"Don't say I didn't warn you, you shouldn't mess with her, why did you have to provoke her?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Cheng Shuowen.

He already knew what had happened at the banquet today, and couldn't help but curse Cheng Yanye inwardly as a complete idiot! It wasn't his business at all, but somehow he got caught up in it.

Cheng Shuowen and Zhu Xueli thought differently. He felt that the matter was not as it seemed on the surface. What did Tong Wuyu mean by "uncontrollable passion"? It was obviously Ye Wanyin who was pushed out to take the blame.

As it turned out, the silly son actually believed him and even felt very sorry for Ye Wanyin, wanting to make it up to her in the future.

Cheng Shuowen was exhausted and didn't want to deal with it anymore.

And then there's the Hua family, who's acting like they're brain-dead and trying to get close to them. Luckily nothing bad happened, otherwise Cheng Shuowen would have a headache just thinking about having to face the Hua family.

Ye Yifan wasn't joking before; he said he'd show them what anger really meant, and within two days, a supplier announced they wouldn't be renewing their contract.

Fortunately, the other party only let him know who he was relying on for his livelihood, and did not really try to destroy him, otherwise this year would probably have ended in a miserable state.

Mu Zhihong is actually Cheng Shuowen's distant cousin. They are not really related by blood, and they don't have a very close relationship.

As for why... what man could stand having a male protagonist's script appear beside him?

Two days ago, Cheng Shuowen was feeling down about the supplier, so he unusually didn't refuse a social invitation and went to a club for a few drinks, where he happened to run into Mu Zhihong.

Seeing that he seemed troubled, the other person didn't ask any questions and drank a few glasses with him. Under the influence of alcohol, Cheng Shuowen inevitably revealed some of the troubles that had been happening at home recently.

To their surprise, the other party volunteered, saying that it was just a woman, and there wasn't one he couldn't handle. He would go and bring Ye Sanqing back, and the Ye family would have to listen to them from now on.

Cheng Shuowen had this plan all along. A normal marriage was probably not going to work, so he might as well force the issue and then say that Ye Sanqing was mentally unstable, thus becoming the legal guardian. Wouldn't the Ye family have a say in that then?

So the two hit it off.

But it didn't say anything about targeting Ye Yifan!

In Cheng Shuowen's mind, Ye Yifan was not the same as other girls of similar age at all.

To be able to sit in this position at such a young age, and to kick Ye Tian away, can only mean that she is much more complex than she appears.

He was starting to wonder if he had let a wolf into his house.

As for Mu Zhihong, he didn't think that much about it. He just felt that women, once he got them, wouldn't they all listen to him? Whether it was Ye Sanqing or Ye Yifan, sleeping with them was a win.

Moreover, although Ye Xi is charming and lovely, she is ultimately getting old.

Based on the short period of time he had been dating Ye Xi, she had never had any contact with any of the Ye family's businesses.

Although she usually appears to be the pampered little princess of the Ye family, she actually has nothing, not even shares.

In this respect, they are not even as good as Ye Hai's children.

Mu Zhihong was pondering whether to find a different target when he happened to run into Cheng Shuowen drowning his sorrows in alcohol.

Upon hearing this, he thought, "My daughter just returned? She'll definitely use every means to gain a foothold in the Ye family. What if I step in to help her?"

Moreover, it is well known that Ye Tian favors Ye Wanyin. Ye Sanqing will definitely not receive any fatherly love when he goes home. At this time, his fatherly boyfriend appears, and he can easily win her over.

However, after testing the waters today, it seems that this approach is not feasible.

However, Mu Zhihong did not feel frustrated. He enjoyed the process of chasing his prey, and when he found that the situation was more difficult than he had thought, he even felt a sense of joy in overcoming the challenge.

He also habitually looked down on women, believing that Ye Sanqing was nothing more than a bluffer, all bark and no bite. She was just an actress, putting on a strong front in this situation—how difficult could that be?

After all, Ye Sanqing doesn't have any real power; how far can he go if he's just relying on Ye Yifan's favor?

Women, don't they always start tearing each other apart when they encounter a man? Mu Zhihong was very confident that he would soon become the man who would separate the two sisters.

The thought that he might become the head of the Ye family in the future made Mu Zhihong excited, but he managed to suppress it.

Cheng Shuowen is a cunning and shrewd man. We must not let him see through our desire to control the Ye family, otherwise it's hard to say whether he will become an ally or an enemy.

So Mu Zhihong pretended that he was just a womanizer and dispelled Cheng Shuowen's doubts in a few words.

Ye Sanqing was unaware of their plans. After returning to his resting place, he arranged for Xiao You, who was waiting, to rest first, and then he also prepared to go to sleep.

Xiao You didn't go with them because she had many trivial matters to handle at the scene. She was also quite surprised by what happened today, but seeing how easily Ye Sanqing handled things, she felt that she didn't need to worry.

Upon seeing Ye Sanqing return, Xiao You took out the set of diamond jewelry. "I've packed everything else, but this set of jewelry is too valuable. Should we arrange for someone to escort it back to the vault first?"

Ye Sanqing glanced at the Purgatory Red Lotus.

There were all sorts of rumors circulating outside, and it wasn't quite certain that the red diamond was in the Ye family's possession. The fact that she brought it out today probably meant that the rumors had been confirmed.

But strangely enough, the reasons Ye Yifan gave were not sufficient.

Moreover, when she was wearing it just now, she had a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had had something similar before, but she couldn't remember.

After all, red diamonds weren't rare in the original world, and if there had been one that was similar, there's nowhere to find it.

As for Xiaochong's database, it's not old enough, so she doesn't expect to find anything.

Keeping this in mind, Ye Sanqing instructed, "Arrange for someone to send it back."

Xiaoyou nodded, said a few more words about tomorrow's arrangements, and then left.

"Master, Tong Wuyu has started a live stream." Ye Sanqing had just lain down on the bed and casually picked up a martial arts novel to read when he heard Xiao Chong's reminder.

Let me see what's going on.

Ye Sanqing took the phone and saw that Tong Wuyu didn't say anything, but silently shed tears in front of the camera, and even subtly showed the slap mark on her face.

The chat was full of questions asking what happened to her, and whether she had been wronged at the Ye family. She suddenly turned off the live stream and then started streaming again in the middle of the night. Did something happen?

Tong Wuyu was waiting for such a comment, but after reading it aloud, she cried and said, "It's not that I feel wronged, it's that I did something wrong... I can't blame anyone else..."

When the comments asked her what she had done wrong, she remained silent and changed the subject. As a result, Ye Sanqing watched as the comments inexplicably escalated into the narrative that the Ye family was bullying ordinary people because of their wealth and power.

[What is she trying to do?] Xiao Chong had seen people distort the truth and call a deer a horse before, but she had never seen anything like this before, and she was greatly shocked. [How come crying a few times and then not saying anything has become a problem for the Ye family?]

Ye Sanqing recalled some of the media tactics Jiang Wendong had mentioned to her before, and couldn't help but chuckle, "She can't exactly say she drugged me, failed, and ended up in the police station herself, can she?"

Tong Wuyu was unaware that her mother possessed a video recording of her drugging the girl, as well as another lab report. However, this evidence was subtly outside the scope of prohibited items, and since she had only drugged herself, it was temporarily unusable.

Moreover, Ye Wanyin was quite cunning; she didn't have any contact with Tong Wuyu today, and could only capture images of her with Cheng Yanye.

This is the key reason why Ye Sanqing didn't do much to Ye Wanyin today. But she believes that as long as Ye Wanyin continues to cause trouble, opportunities will come one after another.

[Should I tell Ye Wanyin that her best friend is livestreaming?] Ye Sanqing became interested in watching the spectacle. [No, maybe this is part of their plan. Look, she even deliberately put on a pitiful makeup!]

This was indeed part of their plan, but it was different from Ye Wanyin's plan.

Ye Wanyin's idea was for Tong Wuyu to take the initiative to admit her mistake first, and then she would forgive her. Who knew that this person would start crying during the live stream?

Seeing the direction of the comments change, Ye Wanyin was so angry that she almost threw her phone away.

What a nutcase! What good would it do to smear the Ye family at a time like this?

But someone else was even more anxious than her, and a large, colorful comment floated across the screen: "[If she's made a mistake that landed her in the police station, then that's definitely a serious one.]"

Tong Wuyu was stunned. She thought that only her loyal fans would be around so late, so she wanted to take the opportunity to play the victim and solidify her fanbase. As for Ye Wanyin's apology, of course it was necessary, but could it be said that she was wrong in the way she apologized?

Tong Wuyu subconsciously thought that the Ye family would definitely not bother with someone as insignificant as her, which only meant that she didn't really understand Ye Jin'er.

Ye Jin'er feels uncomfortable if she doesn't curse someone for a day. She had been pretending to be a proper person all night and was just looking for a place to curse when she suddenly appeared.

Taking advantage of his VIP membership and larger font size, he didn't give any tips and just kept spamming. [What? Can't you speak properly? Want me to speak for you?]

Is it possible that I have a recording here? Say it again, what did the Ye family do to you?

【I think you deserve it for being shameless. You even touched up your makeup while crying. Did you think no one would see you just because you used a filter? A filter can filter your face, but can it filter your heart?】

Guess what I found in my phone's photo album~ Wow, isn't that Miss Happy Fairy Tale! She's so close in a photo with someone on the sofa, I just don't know how this photo ended up on my phone?

[Speak up! Disobeying rules at someone else's banquet means you're being persecuted? Does that mean you're being forced to obey the law? No wonder you ended up in the police station, tsk tsk.]

He typed very quickly, sending a huge amount of messages in one go. The other viewers in the live stream couldn't keep up. After seeing what he said, they immediately started spamming the chat and arguing with him, even demanding that he produce the recordings and photos.

Tong Wuyu's face was deathly pale, a pallor that even makeup couldn't conceal. The surveillance footage alone couldn't prove anything; the photos the other party mentioned were the key—these absolutely couldn't be seen by anyone else!

Tong Wuyu recalled the situation at the time as extremely chaotic, and she couldn't be sure whether anyone took photos or how many people did.

She needs to figure out who the other person is before she can know how to talk to them.

She didn't break the law today, and in the end she apologized and that was the end of it. She went to the police station but wasn't detained, which is easy to explain. But if these photos are circulated... it will seriously damage the image of the socialite she has cultivated for herself!

So Tong Wuyu could only say, "I don't know who you are, why are you saying this to me..." At the same time, she opened the other party's private messages in the background, preparing to comfort them privately.

"You don't even recognize your own father?" Ye Jin'er said.

[This is your last chance. Explain yourself, or we'll see you on Weibo.]

Tong Wuyu was speechless as she looked at the nickname on the private message interface.

Your father is Ye Jin'er?

Before Tong Wuyu could even think about why Ye Jiner would care about this, in a flash she realized, "Isn't this the person Hua Duoduo has a crush on?"

What if she slept with not only Cheng Yanye, but also Ye Jiner?

Thinking about the wonderful expression that would appear on Hua Duoduo's condescending face, and how Ye Wanyin, that black-hearted lotus who pretended to be innocent while tricking her into doing something underhanded, would think if she knew about this, Tong Wuyu couldn't help but grip her phone.

The opportunity is right now!

So she immediately changed her tone and sent a private message: "Brother, you know I'm really upset today, why are you doing this to me? Is it wrong to love someone?..."

She typed a long string of words with heartfelt sincerity, then checked them again, quite satisfied with the stubborn, innocent image presented between the lines.

"This rich young master will definitely fall for it!" Tong Wuyu clicked send with satisfaction.

Ye Jin'er replied at lightning speed: [Climb]

No way, what kind of man is this? Tong Wuyu is about to faint, doesn't he have any pity or tenderness for her? Or has he become immune to this kind of trick after seeing so many innocent girls like Ye Wanyin, and needs to try a different approach?

Ye Jin'er also posted a screenshot on Weibo, along with photos she took today. She thoughtfully blurred the person's face and didn't specify who it was, only saying, "[Some people have quite unique ways of attending the banquet.]"

The situation on Weibo was in an uproar again; Tong Wuyu had genuinely fainted this time.

Ye Sanqing witnessed the whole process and was overjoyed.

She didn't even need to lift a finger; the other person just collapsed on their own!
