Jin Cheng was already exhausted. He had traveled so far, first rowing a boat and then climbing stairs. Now his arms and legs ached, and he was even trembling while sitting. Hearing Ye Xinghe's words made him even angrier, but when he thought about his daughter's imprisonment, he suppressed his anger for the time being.

“Miss Ye, I’ve asked around. Sasha didn’t make the video; she was just being used. Jiang Yan told her everything, and Jiang Yan also gave her the video. If you need anything, Sasha can testify for you. You’ve been classmates for four years, can you please let her off this time? I’ll definitely teach her a lesson when I get back.”

Ye Xinghe rested her chin on her hand, her eyes cold and sharp. "Mr. Jin, you've used this tactic of using someone else to do your dirty work quite well. Who used her as a pawn is your business! Whether your daughter did it or not is none of your concern; the police will decide. All I know is that she posted the video. Now you're talking to me about classmate friendship? Your daughter was incredibly arrogant when she was cursing me!"

Then she turned her gaze to Jin Shasha, who was standing to the side, and said, "I told you on the phone this afternoon to have your dad come with sincerity. I haven't seen any of that. In that case, never mind."

Ye Xinghe lifted her leg to leave, but Jin Cheng's bodyguard quickly stopped her.

Gu Chuan was about to make a move when Ye Xinghe stopped him.

“Mr. Jin, it seems I need to remind you!” Ye Xinghe returned to her seat, her fingers lightly tapping the table, and said slowly, “Now you are the one asking me for a favor. Since you are asking for a favor, you should act accordingly, not put on an arrogant air! If you piss me off, I don’t care who the other party is, I’ll beat them up without hesitation!”

"And your precious daughter, I warned her before." Ye Xinghe pointed a finger at Jin Shasha's nose. "If you want to mess with me, you have to bear the consequences. And what happened?"

"Then I'd like to hear how Miss Ye plans to resolve this?" Jin Cheng asked tentatively.

Jin Cheng originally wanted to shift all the blame onto Jiang Yan, which would not only help Jin Shasha clear her name but also do her a favor. However, Ye Xinghe saw through his plan.

He had asked Jin Shasha when he was home, and the video was indeed sent to her by Jiang Yan via a USB drive delivered by Flash Delivery. He also checked the sender's address and phone number, and they were both fake. Moreover, their previous communications were mostly phone calls or face-to-face conversations; there was no useful information exchanged on WeChat.

Ye Xinghe paused for a moment, then said casually, "Originally, I wanted Jin Zhicheng to serve the Ye family for free for ten years. But looking at the current situation, I feel that's not enough."

"Ten years of free service?!" Jin Cheng slammed his fist on the table and shouted, "Miss Ye's appetite is far too great! Free service? Forget ten years, not even a year is possible!"

Ye Xinghe said casually, "Fine, since you don't agree, then go to jail. Anyway, it'll only be about 10 years before you get out. The Jin family won't lose anything, and they'll just gain an old maid."

"By the way, regarding the losses and stock price impact caused by online public opinion at Ye's Group these past few days, there will be professionals from the group contacting you."

After saying that, Ye Xinghe was about to leave, but was stopped again.

This block completely enraged Ye Xinghe.

This time, Ye Xinghe did not stop Gu Chuan.

He moved with incredible speed, rushing forward in a single stride and executing an over-the-shoulder throw, sending Jin Cheng's bodyguard sprawling face-first to the ground. Jin Cheng was so startled that he landed hard on his backside.

Ye Xinghe moved over, her gaze coldly fixed on Jin Cheng on the ground. "I see now. You didn't come here today to have a proper discussion. I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you! You only have two choices now."

"First, jail time! I, Ye Xinghe, will pursue everything you and your precious daughter have done recently to the end! No matter how many years this case takes, as long as you are alive, I will fight you to the bitter end! I will find the best lawyers to fight for the most severe punishment for you and your daughter!"

"Secondly, Jinzhicheng E-commerce Co., Ltd. will be transferred to the Ye family unconditionally and free of charge! All assets, employees, equipment and technology of the company will belong to the Ye family and will have no further connection with your Jinzhicheng."

"No matter which option you choose! Jin Shasha must publicly apologize on Weibo in the form of a video! The video must not be deleted within one year of its release! She must apologize not only to me, but also to the school, Professor Wang, and the Ye Group!"

Jin Cheng's expression changed drastically. He had already thought that providing free service for ten years was already excessive, but he never expected that Ye Xinghe would actually want his company, which was his life!

He got up from the ground, sat back in his chair, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a forced smile, "Miss Ye, how about we offer free service for ten years? Twenty years is also fine."

Ye Xinghe glanced at him disdainfully, "I remember reminding you just now, but you didn't listen! You and your father are exactly the same."

Seeing this, Jin Cheng grabbed Jin Shasha, who was standing next to him, and slapped her again, shouting angrily, "You good-for-nothing, kneel down! Apologize to Miss Ye!"

Jin Shasha knelt shakily in front of Ye Xinghe, rubbing her face and apologizing while crying.

Ye Xinghe retreated to her seat and said disdainfully, "Don't try to play the victim in front of me. It's not my child. I don't care at all. If you want to hit someone, go home and hit them."

Jin Cheng genuinely wanted to hit Jin Shasha! He had built his company from scratch, and with the rapid development of online shopping, the company had grown steadily. In recent years, Jin Cheng's revenue had doubled every year, and now he was about to hand it over to someone else. He didn't just want to slap Jin Shasha; he wanted to strangle her.

Ye Xinghe was too lazy to waste any more words with them. She fiddled with the teacups on the table, making a gesture as if to send them away.

"I want to see an apology video by 10 a.m. tomorrow. Tell me your final decision by 12 p.m. Don't try to pull any tricks on me! Remember! You won't get through this deadline."

"Qiao Lin, see the guest out."

Qiao Lin extended a hand, gesturing for them to leave, and the three of them hurriedly departed.

"Dad, what do we do now?" Jin Shasha, her face red and swollen, helped the limping Jin Cheng slowly downstairs.

Jin Cheng waved his hand, sat on the stairs panting, and after a moment of silence, his tired eyes suddenly lit up. "You should quickly send a message to Jiang Yan and tell her that you uploaded the video you gave me. Public opinion is very unfavorable for Ye Xinghe now. I've finally helped you bring Ye Xinghe down."

Jin Shasha took out her phone and sent the message as her father had instructed, but Jiang Yan deleted her! Calling her back resulted in the line being constantly busy!

The father and daughter were completely dumbfounded. This was clearly a trap set for Jin Shasha to fall into!
