He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.
Chapter 68 His inner world also has a soft spot.
Siyi was practically dragged into the car by Ye Zhenghao.
She had a bandage wrapped around her forehead, and the forceful shoving made her feel a headache coming on.
But when she saw Ye Zhenghao's almost murderous gaze, how could she dare to say anything?
My brother must be furious about what happened earlier!
She was sitting in the passenger seat.
The wound on my forehead was throbbing slightly, and it felt like it was pulling on my temples, causing them to throb.
It's like someone is hitting you hard with a hammer, which is quite annoying.
She reached up and held her forehead, turning her face to look out the car window.
Ye Zhenghao was talking to the police officers who had come with him when they got into a van and drove away.
As soon as Ye Zhenghao got into the car, Siyi didn't intend to remain silent. Some things always needed to be clarified. Since things had already come to this point, she couldn't hide it anymore, so she simply asked frankly, "Big brother, are you alright?"
"fine."
His emotions seemed to have stabilized considerably, and his tone was no longer as agitated as before. He took a deep breath, turned to look at Siyi, noticed the wound on her forehead, and his eyes flickered slightly before he asked, "And you? Does the wound on your forehead still hurt? How did you get it?"
"Brother, I'm fine. This wound is... I accidentally bumped into something at the karaoke bar."
She was actually a little afraid that her older brother would mistakenly think that Jiang Yan had caused the wound.
But she couldn't rush to defend him, for fear of angering him again. After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Brother, let's find a place to talk."
Some things always have to be faced.
Ye Zhenghao had the same idea, so he nodded and drove towards the city.
The two siblings chose a restaurant.
Ye Zhenghao specially chose a private room and took Siyi inside. After the waiter finished arranging everything and left,
Ye Zhenghao was clearly impatient. As soon as the door closed, he asked in a deep voice, "Siyi, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation for what happened today. Also, I need to know about the time you secretly got together with him behind my back."
Siyi's heart skipped a beat, but she wasn't surprised that Ye Zhenghao said such a thing.
My older brother has always been a very cautious person. It's his profession that makes him think things through, and seeing what happened today, he probably already has some idea of what's going on.
She probably already knew that she and Jiang Yan had something going on.
She hesitated for a moment, then said, avoiding the main point, "Brother, actually today was really an accident. One of my clients got into some trouble, and I wanted to go to the karaoke bar to help her, but who knew those people... I knew beforehand that this matter was definitely not simple, so I called you, but you were in a meeting at the time. Later, at the critical moment, Jiang Yan Hui suddenly appeared and saved me."
The last four words—He saved me.
Ye Zhenghao scoffed, coldly saying, "Would he be so kind as to go and save you? Maybe he's the one behind this!"
Siyi knew that her older brother and Jiang Yanhui had always been at odds, but a voice in her heart firmly told her that Jiang Yanhui would never do something so pointless.
Of course, she also knew that she couldn't speak up for Jiang Yanhui in front of Ye Zhenghao.
After thinking for a moment, he changed the subject, "Anyway, it's really not what you think, brother... Brother, Jiang Yan and I will go back to him."
"I don't care what your relationship with him is, how you met before, or how far things have progressed, I want you to remember this: you absolutely cannot see him again!"
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Zhenghao coldly and sternly said to her, "Siyi, do you not know who you are? You are a lawyer, a law enforcement officer. How can you associate with people like that? There are so many men in the world. That Jiang Yanhui is nothing but a pretty face. Do you know that?"
Siyi frowned subconsciously. For some reason, she felt a subconscious resistance to what Ye Zhenghao was saying.
However, she herself did not delve into what exactly this feeling was.
At this point, she naturally knew she had to go along with her older brother's words, "I know, there's really nothing between him and me."
To everyone's surprise, Ye Zhenghao slammed his fist on the table in anger, "What do you mean 'nothing'? I've seen you two... What exactly is going on between you and him?" He paused, then suddenly seemed to realize something, his eyes darkening as he pressed, "Last time you were covered in hickeys, and you told me you had a boyfriend, was that him?!"
Siyi didn't expect Ye Zhenghao to suddenly bring up this topic.
She was momentarily flustered, and the words she had prepared beforehand suddenly wouldn't come out. A stiff and embarrassed expression appeared on her face. "Big brother..."
"It turns out it's true!"
Her expression said it all. This younger sister was the one he had cherished and doted on since childhood. He knew her every smile and frown better than anyone. At this moment, he felt a surge of anger. If Jiang Yan Hui were standing right in front of him, he would have shot her dead. "You really... have no sense of propriety! Don't you know who he is? You actually... what will happen if Dad finds out? Have you thought about that? Si Yi, you have such a bright future. Are you going to ruin it all because of a scoundrel?"
Jiang Yanhui is somewhat irresponsible and doesn't take his job seriously.
He was somewhat carefree, but Siyi knew that he wasn't actually a bad person at heart.
Although she couldn't guarantee anything, she just had that feeling.
She thought she would never forget that scene: him squatting in front of a little girl, speaking softly to her, a smile that perhaps no one in the entire city of A had ever seen before.
But she had seen him, so she knew that there was a soft spot in his heart as well.
Perhaps it was this kind of perception that made her somewhat disapproving of Ye Zhenghao's unbridled denial of Jiang Yan Hui.
However, despite her disagreement, she remained outwardly calm and composed.
Ye Zhenghao noticed that the younger sister opposite him had her eyes lowered.
He couldn't see her expression clearly, but since she didn't refute him, he knew that his usually very opinionated younger sister now realized she was wrong.
After all, we're adults. Besides, no one can be perfect and never make a mistake.
Thinking about it this way, he felt much more at ease, and his tone relaxed a bit. "I won't tell Mom and Dad about this, and I won't let the men who saw it today leak anything. But Siyi, you have to promise your brother that you will never have any further entanglement with Jiang Yanhui, understand?"
Siyi felt her head was about to explode, and her wound was throbbing again. She knew she didn't really have anything to say.
Saying too much would only lead to more mistakes and make things more complicated. After thinking it over, he simply nodded and said, "I understand, brother. I will know what I'm doing."
Siyi has indeed been a very sensible girl since she was a child, and she has never made her family worry too much. Ye Zhenghao thought that she had already made a promise to him, so he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
After a moment of silence, he changed the subject, "Alright, let's leave it at that. But I know about your case. Don't you have a court hearing tomorrow?"
"Yes."
Siyi pressed her temples, thought for a moment, and then said, "Big brother, have you found those people who bullied Sun Xiaoman at the karaoke bar? There were probably five or six of them. Although I can't remember their faces clearly now, I can still recognize them if I see them."
She hadn't forgotten their conversation when Jiang Yan rushed in later—the talk about the Blood Wolf and the lessons learned. Clearly, Sun Xiaoman was a true victim this time. Regardless of the previous lawsuit, she always felt there was a connection between the two.
"I received your text message. When I arrived, they were already unconscious, but they should only be seriously injured. I asked the manager there, and he just said that they were drunk and started fighting with themselves."
Fighting yourself? How is that possible!
She remembered Jiang Yan's last words, "Beat them to death," very clearly.
However, she had no intention of telling Ye Zhenghao about this. Then she heard Ye Zhenghao say with some annoyance, "I guess things aren't that simple. But we can't find any surveillance footage, so we can only believe what the manager said."
Siyi then asked, "Then, brother, do you know who Blood Wolf is?"
"Blood Wolf?" Ye Zhenghao looked at Siyi in surprise. "How do you know this person?"
Siyi didn't hide anything and said directly, "When I went to find Sun Xiaoman, those people said that they did that to Sun Xiaoman because that Blood Wolf wanted to teach her a lesson. I thought Sun Xiaoman was innocent before, but later there was new evidence, and it seems that Sun Xiaoman made a false accusation. But now this matter seems to be a little more complicated."
Ye Zhenghao's eyes narrowed slightly. That Blood Wolf was no ordinary character; he was currently enjoying great power and influence in the eastern part of the city.
However, since the eastern part of the city was not under his jurisdiction, Ye Zhenghao had heard of Blood Wolf, but had never actually met him.
“I’ll have my colleague follow up on this later. Siyi, I know you’ve always been very dedicated, but please don’t do anything so dangerous again, okay?”
Siyi knew Ye Zhenghao was referring to the wound on her forehead. Thinking back on everything that had happened, she was still shaken. She nodded, "Big brother, don't worry, I still have to speak up for the people! I will definitely take good care of myself!"
"Hmm." Ye Zhenghao was about to say something when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his expression changed, and he stood up abruptly. Siyi watched him rush out, a sense of unease creeping over her. Just then, Ye Zhenghao answered the phone at the door of the private room. She heard him respectfully call out, "Wu sir..."
Inspector Wu?
She wouldn't forget that Inspector Wu was her boss's direct superior. Calling him at this time... could it be...?
Her heart sank, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed tightly.
Jiang Yanhui has already made a move so quickly?
Did he file a complaint?
