Seeing her uncle's serious expression, Secretary Li's eyes revealed a hint of panic, and she secretly glanced at me.

I naturally understood what she meant. Although the Jiang family was not afraid of the Bai family, the pressure from public opinion was indeed a problem.

In particular, headlines like "Hua Xiao President Illegally Intruded" are enough to cause the media to hype it up and trigger a series of unnecessary controversies.

I glanced at Jiang Yuwei. Although she was listening to her uncle's lecture, her stubbornness was clearly written on her face, and she obviously wouldn't bow her head and beg for mercy.

The atmosphere was extremely tense. The security manager looked around but didn't take any action.

Seeing this, Bai Caiwei urged with a stern face, "Manager Zhang, what are you standing there for? Call the police right now!"

The security manager gave me a troubled look, hesitated, and then took out his phone.

Jiang Yuwei's gaze remained fixed on me, seemingly unconcerned about what her uncle had said or what consequences she might face.

I was speechless. What was this person thinking? It was already this late, and he wasn't worried at all.

If the shareholders find something to use against us, that would be a real problem.

Just as the security manager's finger was about to press the dial button, I hurriedly shouted, "Wait!"

That sound instantly drew everyone's attention. Bai Caiwei looked at me in confusion: "Brother, what are you doing?"

I was a little confused myself, not understanding why I blurted it out.

But then I thought, I can't just watch Jiang Yuwei get taken away by the police and then make headlines the next day!

After all, she did it all for me.

So, I steeled myself and said to my uncle, "Uncle, how about we just let this go tonight?"

Before her uncle could speak, a hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yuwei's eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips.

I couldn't be bothered to guess what she was thinking; I just hoped to quell this storm as soon as possible.

But Bai Caiwei wouldn't let it go, "Brother, why? If she dares to climb over the wall today, she might kidnap you tomorrow!"

"Yes, she definitely wants to tie you up and take you back, then wait for you to fall in love with him again, and then he will torment you again, and then go back to that guy surnamed Chen and continue their ambiguous relationship."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuwei frowned and quickly denied it, "I didn't. There is no relationship between me and Chen Yiran. If there is one, it is a boss-employee relationship."

Bai Caiwei didn't believe it. "That sounds nice, but everyone knows how good you are to Chen Yiran. Didn't you keep saying you wanted to get married a while ago? You're just trying to fool my brother!"

Jiang Yuwei looked at me and said, "Ye Qiu, you know that all of that was my parents' decision. I've already made it clear to them that this won't happen again! Chen Yiran won't appear in front of you either."

Bai Caiwei snorted coldly: "That can't cover up the fact that you were a scumbag in the past."

As she spoke, Bai Caiwei looked at me and said, "Brother, don't be fooled by her sweet talk. I understand women better than you do. A woman's nature is that a leopard can't change its spots."

"..."

I was both amused and exasperated. Bai Caiwei was just criticizing Jiang Yuwei, why did she have to drag herself into it?

My uncle looked at me seriously. "Ye Qiu, Caiwei is right. You don't need to pity someone like Jiang Yuwei. Anyway, I'll handle this. You go back to your room and rest."

I was in a bit of a dilemma and didn't know what to do.

In desperation, I could only bite the bullet and say, "Uncle, I just think this matter isn't that serious, and I'm afraid it will affect both of our companies."

Upon hearing this, Bai Caiwei's expression immediately relaxed: "What do you mean? Brother, you're all divorced. Whatever she does will affect us. With the Bai family's power, she'll have to think twice before acting."

My uncle looked at me, his expression softening slightly. "Ye Qiu, Caiwei is right. Don't think too much about it. Go back and rest. Leave this matter to your uncle. I promise I won't let her appear in front of you again."

Bai Caiwei took my arm, preparing to take me back to my room.

The security manager was also holding his phone, looking somewhat lost. I knew he didn't want to escalate the situation either.

I am also very clear that if I really leave, things will develop in a very serious direction.

In a moment of desperation, I pushed Bai Caiwei aside, walked up to my uncle, and whispered, "Uncle, leave this to me to handle!"

My uncle looked at me quietly for a few seconds, then said earnestly, "Alright, but you have to promise me you won't have any involvement with anyone surnamed Jiang. I don't want you to remember what happened before, but I also don't want you to forget it."

I nodded, knowing full well that my uncle was worried about me getting hurt again.

Bai Caiwei looked at Jiang Yuwei defiantly, "No, you're just letting her go like that?"

The night air was a bit chilly, and the uncle couldn't help but cough twice. He waved his hand and said, "Stop arguing, take me back to my room! Your brother can handle it himself."

Bai Caiwei reluctantly followed her uncle back. I then looked at the security manager, "Manager Zhang, thank you for your hard work tonight, you should go home too!"

The security manager, relieved, left with a broad smile.

At this moment, Jiang Yuwei remained standing in place, her gaze fixed on me. I gave her a cold glance: "Aren't you leaving?"

This farce lasted for almost an hour, and I was actually getting a little sleepy.

Jiang Yuwei suddenly stepped forward and tightly grasped my hand. "Ye Qiu, are you worried about me? Don't want me to go in?"

This woman really knows how to take advantage of a situation.

I shook off her hand: "Go back, wash up, and go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams."

Suddenly, I felt something sticky on my hands.

By the light of the living room lamp, I could vaguely see a splash of red, accompanied by a pungent, metallic smell of blood—it was blood…
