Just as I was wondering if I was seeing things, Bai Caiwei started shouting.

"You, Jiang Yuwei, what are you up to, coming to my house in the middle of the night? Are you planning to secretly take revenge on us?"

The uncle, who had been sitting upright on the sofa, also stood up, his eyes filled with disdain, as if to say, "Go ahead and try."

Jiang Yuwei, who is usually calm and serious, looks surprisingly youthful when she wears a baseball cap.

She glanced at me first, then her gaze shifted to Bai Caiwei, and her expression suddenly darkened. "Revenge against you? You need to do it secretly?"

Bai Caiwei was speechless, choked by the words.

The security manager looked at us, then at Jiang Yuwei, his eyes full of doubt. "You...know each other?"

I was about to speak when Jiang Yuwei interrupted me, saying, "He is my husband. We just had a little disagreement."

I frowned. No wonder Jiang Yuwei is so successful in business; she can lie without batting an eye.

Bai Caiwei crossed her arms and glanced at Jiang Yuwei with disdain.

"Jiang Yuwei, did your Chinese teacher teach you PE? That's your ex-husband. You've been divorced for a long time. You're trespassing now."

Jiang Yuwei sneered, "I'm here to see my husband, what's the problem?"

Upon hearing this, the security manager, who had been confused about the situation, seemed to understand something, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably.

The security manager looked at me and said earnestly, "Mr. Ye, we understand that there are family conflicts, but your wife's actions are really unacceptable. What if she gets injured climbing over the fence at the back of the villa?"

Climb the wall?

I looked at Jiang Yuwei in shock. It was hard to imagine that she, who was usually so sophisticated and aloof and only frequented high-end places, would actually climb over the wall.

Moreover, the wall behind her uncle's villa is so high, and it's reinforced with iron railings. What was she thinking?

Seeing that I didn't speak, the security manager continued:

"Moreover, causing such a commotion has a very negative impact on the community. I think if there's a problem, everyone should sit down and communicate calmly. What do you think?"

"Besides, if your wife really gets hurt, wouldn't you be the one who feels the pain in the end?"

"I feel sorry for her? Not at all!" I glared at Jiang Yuwei. "I have nothing to do with her!"

Upon hearing this, the security manager looked troubled and stood there, unsure of what to do.

Just then, Secretary Li rushed in from outside, "President Jiang!"

She turned to me and said, "Sir, Mr. Jiang was worried about you, but the housekeeper wouldn't let him in, so he had no choice but to come up with this solution. You don't know, Mr. Jiang has been waiting in the car all day!"

It suddenly dawned on me that the car I saw that afternoon belonged to Jiang Yuwei, and she was watching me from inside the car.

Could it be that Jiang Yuwei followed me all the way from the old house?

Secretary Li continued, "Moreover, recently, in order to spend more time with you, President Jiang has been working until the early hours of the morning. Last time, President Jiang fainted at the company, but after waking up in the hospital, he continued working."

No wonder Jiang Yuwei looked so pale those days. I was so focused on picking a fight with her and trying to keep her away from me, but now that I think about it, I suddenly feel a little guilty.

I looked at Jiang Yuwei, unsure of what to say.

Bai Caiwei's gaze swept over Jiang Yuwei and me. She pulled me back a step. "Brother, don't be fooled by her. Think about how she treated you before. In my opinion, she just wants to trick you into going back to hurt you again."

As soon as Bai Caiwei finished speaking, Jiang Yuwei's originally calm face turned angry. "Bai Caiwei, watch your mouth. Try talking nonsense again."

Jiang Yuwei's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a strong sense of intimidation, making those who heard it tremble.

Before Bai Caiwei could speak, a stern and deep voice rang out from behind her.

"Such arrogance! I'd like to see what you can do about it."

The uncle leaned on his cane, looking at Jiang Yuwei with a stern face.

Jiang Yuwei remained expressionless and bowed slightly, "Uncle!"

"Stop." The uncle looked displeased. "I don't have a niece with the surname Jiang."

"I can't control how you act tough in your Jiang family, but this is the Bai family. You have no right to yell and shout here!"

Jiang Yuwei didn't refute, and her uncle said a bunch of unpleasant things.

Seeing her bowing her head and listening respectfully to my reprimand, I suddenly found it somewhat amusing. She doesn't even listen to her own parents, always talking back, yet she's so obedient in front of my uncle.

If Jiang's mother saw this scene, she would probably be furious.

The security manager stood to one side with seven or eight security guards, their faces practically screaming that they wanted to leave work.

Taking advantage of a lull in his uncle's speech, the security manager managed to interject, "Mr. Bai, if there's nothing else, we'll head back now!"

Before the uncle could speak, the atmosphere froze. The security manager repeated uncertainly, "Are you serious? Calling the police will most likely result in detention, this..."

The uncle scoffed, "Detention? That's too lenient. This kind of illegal trespassing should be punished with imprisonment! You should call the police first."

The security manager looked troubled. "Mr. Bai, this matter isn't that serious. This young lady triggered the infrared alarm when she climbed over the wall, but it didn't cause any actual damage. At most, she'll be detained."

The security manager's meaning was clear: there was no need to make a fuss.

But the uncle remained calm and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just call the police. I'll have a lawyer handle the rest. I believe the lawyer can get her arrested."

Go in?

I was stunned. As a law-abiding citizen, those two words carried far too heavy a weight for me.

It's true that I wanted to stay away from Jiang Yuwei, but I never intended for her to go to jail.

Secretary Li hurriedly said, "President Bai, you must be joking."

I know my uncle's temper very well. When he said he was going to send Jiang Yuwei in, he wasn't joking.

He has his own legal team. Although Jiang Yuwei only used a simple VPN, if the lawyers make serious claims, Jiang Yuwei will definitely be entangled in the legal battle.

The shareholders in Huaxiao were already restless, and they would start to stir at the slightest sign of trouble.

If Jiang Yuwei really gets entangled in this matter, those people will definitely use it as an excuse to bring her down.

Wait, why am I thinking about this?

Even if she is brought down by those people, it has nothing to do with me.

The uncle said expressionlessly, "I never joke, Manager Zhang. Please call the police now according to the normal procedure."
