He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

"Siyi, what are you doing?"

As soon as Ye Zhenghao entered the study, he saw Siyi sitting at his desk. The blue folder in front of her was the one he had brought back from the police station. Siyi's hand was still on the folder. When she heard Ye Zhenghao's voice, she suddenly looked up, and there was a hint of nervousness in the depths of her dark eyes.

"Damn it, what are you doing?" Ye Zhenghao strode forward and snatched the stack of documents from her hand without saying a word. He stared at Siyi in disbelief. "You actually peeked at my documents when I wasn't looking? Siyi, I think you're really possessed!"

Siyi's clear eyes had returned to normal, shining brightly in the soft orange light above her head, filled with determination. "Big brother, even if I looked at these documents, I didn't break the law. These aren't confidential documents. I just wanted to understand the whole story."

"Are you crazy?" Ye Zhenghao roared, throwing the folder he was holding onto the table with a loud thud. He seemed to be extremely disappointed in you. "Didn't I tell you not to get involved in this? Why won't you listen?"

"Brother! Jiang Yanhui is innocent!" Siyi retorted without hesitation. "Look at the so-called evidence in the documents. Even I, as a lawyer, know it's too crude and riddled with doubts. Why couldn't you send someone to investigate? The 'dead man hiding drugs' thing is clearly a frame-up. Brother, you've never handled cases like this before. Just because he's Jiang Yanhui, are you going to be so blindly oblivious?"

When she first learned of this, she was panicked and uneasy, but she gradually calmed down. She knew Jiang Yan Hui wasn't that kind of person. Although she hadn't known him for long, she knew she understood him. The Jiang Yan Hui she saw was someone others couldn't. Although he liked to say things that made people blush and his heart race, and he liked to get physical, she knew he was definitely not the kind of person who would kill or commit arson. So she went to the police station to find him, but he said those things to her.

When he dotes on you, he can treat you like royalty, but when he's heartless, he can make you believe that those hurtful words could actually come out of his mouth.

She was so angry that she was trembling all over, so she slapped him back.

But after she calmed down completely, she realized that she was utterly finished.

She couldn't bring herself to hate him. She would find reasons for him. Maybe what he said wasn't sincere. Maybe he was just angry because she had kept pushing him away. Maybe he just didn't want her involved in his affairs...

It turns out that when you truly cherish someone, you'll find all sorts of reasons to excuse their excessive behavior.

She didn't want to admit it, but she had no choice. She wanted to find the perfect excuse: he had saved her father, and she was repaying him. She had to help him, she absolutely had to exonerate him, so that she could feel at peace. She didn't want to think about what would happen in the future; she had only one goal now: to get him exonerated.

"Blind?" Ye Zhenghao was furious, slamming his hand on the executive desk. "Siyi, have you ever heard the saying 'there's no smoke without fire'? Yes, if you insist on calling me blind, I won't deny it. I've never liked that Jiang Yan Hui. You should know that all these years, I've been keeping an eye on the two men in the Jiang family. Now that one of them has finally been caught, why can't I go with the flow? You can say whatever you want about me, but just because you're so infatuated with that man, I absolutely won't let him continue to torment you!"

"Brother, you've gone too far! What you're saying is just settling a personal score!" Siyi bit her lip, determined to argue with Ye Zhenghao. "Just because you don't like Jiang Yanhui doesn't mean you can treat him like this! What did you mean by what you just said? You know this case is full of suspicious points, but instead of investigating, you file a case and prosecute him. Is that what a police officer should do? And even if you get this evidence in court, a lawyer will easily overturn it with such flimsy evidence!"

"That's the lawyer's business, it has nothing to do with me." Ye Zhenghao snorted coldly, walked past Siyi and sat down on the stool directly. He said in a deep voice, "If I were really settling a personal score, I wouldn't let him off so easily. I don't care if they're fighting like dogs. For me, the evidence in front of me is the best proof. He killed someone, he hid drugs. Whether his lawyer can help him get off the table depends on his fate."

Ye Zhenghao is a shrewd man; how could he not see that the evidence was weak? It's no exaggeration for someone like Jiang Yan Hui to have enemies. As for whether she was truly framed, he had no interest in knowing. He only knew that this was a great opportunity, and he had always wanted to seize it. Although this behavior was indeed a bit unprofessional, and he had hesitated, seeing Si Yi yelling and shouting at him now, he was even more certain that his approach was correct.

We can't let Siyi continue down this path. She's neglecting her father in the hospital because of Jiang Yan. If we let them be together, who knows what might happen? Her father barely survived; he can't take any more shocks.

Whether he's despicable or seeking personal revenge, he absolutely cannot allow anything to happen to this already broken Ye family.

He also considered that if Jiang Yan Hui was indeed framed, then some of the evidence presented would be difficult for the prosecution to handle. If that person was making such a big fuss, they were determined to put Jiang Yan Hui in jail. How could such a charade possibly end happily in court?

It doesn't matter if the evidence is weak, as long as the defense can't find any more favorable evidence, even the weakest evidence can be fatal!

“Big brother…” Siyi looked at Ye Zhenghao’s confident expression, as if she had thought of something. She frowned and shook her head, muttering to herself, “You…you’re thinking that you just need to go with the flow, and Jiang Yan will definitely have someone to deal with him when he goes back over there, right?”

Stunned by her words, Ye Zhenghao didn't argue. He just glanced at her, picked up the documents, and stood up. "Siyi, this is the last time I'm telling you, don't get involved in this matter anymore. Dad is fine now, you should take good care of him. Jiang Yanhui's affairs are not for you to interfere with. His identity is so complicated, it's very dangerous for you to step into it, do you understand? Get some rest, you have to go to the hospital tomorrow."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the door. Siyi watched his retreating figure, heartbroken, "Big brother, you've changed..."

Ye Zhenghao, standing at the door, paused slightly but did not turn around. Instead, he tightened his grip on the documents.

Siyi's voice was weak and disappointed. "You've never been like this before. Even someone who has been to prison can be given a chance to turn back. Why do you assume that Jiang Yanhui is a criminal just because he hasn't done anything? This is clearly a preconceived notion. You're being so unfair to him! You can dislike him, but you absolutely cannot insult his character like this! Brother, I'm really disappointed in you."

She bit her lip, suppressing the soreness in her throat, and rushed out of the study, bypassing Ye Zhenghao.

Ye Zhenghao watched Siyi walk out, listening to the loud slam of the study door shut, but his tall frame stood frozen in place.

disappointment……

Is Siyi disappointed in herself?

He took a deep breath, tilted his head back and looked at the ceiling. The soft light shone into his eyes, and he felt a dryness, but more than anything, he felt powerless.

How could he not know what he was doing? But he really couldn't convince himself. He hated the Jiang family, he hated Jiang Jizhen, and he hated Jiang Yanhui even more. If it weren't for the Jiang family, the Ye family would never have become what it is today.

Jiang Jizhen lost his mother and his father was brought to the brink of death. Why can't he let his son experience imprisonment as well?

He suddenly opened his eyes, and his bright black eyes were now flashing with hatred.

Jiang Yan returned, and no matter what, he would not pity him, absolutely not!

In a smoke-filled card room, four people sat around a table, playing mahjong.

Yu Chengfeng drew a card, subtly played another one, and looked up to see Jiang Yanhui opposite him. He flicked his cigarette ash and asked, "How's it going? Any progress?"

Lu Fengcheng also casually picked up a card. "After your accident, I checked that woman's information. I heard that she had a younger sister, but after that woman died, her sister also disappeared and there has been no news of her since."

Sitting across from him, Leng Xiyu chuckled. "Even Ah Cheng has times when he can't find someone? Looks like this time they're really coming on strong. Yan Hui, are you prepared for the worst?"

Jiang Yan knew that Leng Xiyu, that stingy guy, was still holding a grudge about Zhuo Qing. Although he had promised to send Zhuo Qing away, who knew this would suddenly happen? Now he didn't have the mind to care about him and Zhuo Qing anymore. Hearing him say this, he wasn't annoyed. He just chuckled casually, "If I really go to jail, I'll definitely drag you, Young Master Leng, in with me. Otherwise, do you think it would be so boring for me to be alone in prison?"

Yi was just getting close. Yu Chengfeng laughed without giving him any face. Lu Fengcheng reached out and adjusted his glasses. Leng Xiyu leaned in and threw a card out of his hand. He was about to say something when Lu Fengcheng across from him spoke slowly and deliberately, "Young Master Leng has discarded a card, which is perfect for me to win."

"Damn it, are you doing this on purpose? I always lose, are you cheating?" Leng Xiyu cursed as he examined Lu Fengcheng's cards to see if he was cheating.

Just then, someone pushed the door open and hurriedly walked to Jiang Yan Hui's side, leaning down to whisper in his ear, "Young Master Yan, there's a woman outside named Ye Si Yi who says she wants to see you..."
