"Think about it carefully."
Lin Shuang turned his head and said to the others, "Let's go!"
"Chen Jie!"
Yang Siqing ran out from the courtyard.
She yelled at Chen Jie, "Hurry up and have them release my dad!"
Chen Jie frowned, "If your dad didn't kill anyone, they'll naturally release him! You don't need to beg me."
Yang Siqing screamed, "I don't care! My dad was taken away because of you! You have to find a way to save my dad!"
Chen Jie sneered repeatedly, "You're too self-righteous. Your dad was taken away entirely due to his own fault. Besides, do you think what I say is useful?"
Yang Siqing was so anxious she was about to cry. She shouted, "Why wouldn't what you say be useful? You just say the poison was yours!"
Chen Jie, enraged, laughed, "I think you're brain-damaged to say such a thing. Remember, our engagement has been officially dissolved, and we have nothing to do with each other anymore. If you bother me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"You'll regret this, you'll definitely regret this!" Yang Siqing yelled, pointing at Chen Jie's retreating back.
Chen Jie's gaze turned cold.
Then he turned back to Yang Siqing, "I have nothing to regret. However, if you dare to do anything against me, then I guarantee you will regret it!"
After speaking, Chen Jie no longer hesitated and left directly.
As for Yang Siqing, she dug her fingers into her hair, her face full of unwillingness, "Chen Jie, you just wait for me, I won't let you off!"
Zhang Xinyan, standing beside her, hesitated and advised, "Siqing, I think it's best to let this go. There are some things Chen Jie can't control."
"No! He could have just admitted that the poison was his, why didn't he? Why did he deliberately point out that my dad had been near the deceased? It was all intentional! My dad is like this, it's all his fault!" Yang Siqing said stubbornly.
Zhang Xinyan was stunned and said, "Of course he wouldn't do that."
She had wanted to say that any normal person wouldn't confess to a crime themselves.
Moreover, the Yang family had treated Chen Jie like this. What reason would Chen Jie have to take the blame for Yang Ding Tian?
Of course, whether Yang Ding Tian was guilty or not still needed to be investigated.
But Yang Siqing's line of thinking was indeed not quite normal.
"Xinyan, you also think all of this is Chen Jie's fault, right?" Yang Siqing looked at Zhang Xinyan and said.
"No..."
Yang Siqing shook her head and gave a bitter smile, "He's treating our Yang family like this, I will never let him off! Anyway, I already know about the existence of the Dragon Group. If he dares to attack my Yang family with his own strength, then I'll find the Dragon Group to arrest him!"
"Uh? Siqing, tell me, what exactly happened in the mountains that day? Who found those so-called treasures first?"
Zhang Xinyan said.
"Is there any point in talking about this now? It was definitely us who found them first. Anyway, I won't just let it go! Do you think I, Yang Siqing, am a pushover?" Yang Siqing said coldly.
"No, tell me the truth. Did Chen Jie harass you? Did you find the treasures first! This is very important!" Zhang Xinyan pressed.
Yang Siqing still put on a brave face, "I already said, Chen Jie harassed me, and my people found the treasures first. Xinyan, don't you even believe me?"
Zhang Xinyan looked at her seriously, "Are you telling me the truth? Siqing, you know I hate liars the most. You can choose not to tell me what really happened, but if you lie to me, then we can't even be best friends anymore."
Yang Siqing's gaze flickered, and her tone finally changed, "Even if Chen Jie found the treasures first, even if he saved my life, even if he didn't harass me, shouldn't he have given those treasures to me? I'm just a girl, I just wanted those treasures. Why shouldn't he give them to me?"
Zhang Xinyan was stunned.
Then a chill crept into her heart.
She looked at Yang Siqing with a sudden sense of unfamiliarity.
She even felt a sense of being manipulated.
So it wasn't Chen Jie's fault at all. She had thought Chen Jie had stolen Yang Siqing's things, and she had disliked Chen Jie immensely.
Now it seemed, it was her best friend who was slandering Chen Jie.
"Xinyan, I heard Chen Jie registered a pharmaceutical company. I plan to force Chen Jie to submit through this. Will you join forces with me to deal with Chen Jie?"
Yang Siqing looked at Zhang Xinyan hopefully.
Zhang Xinyan shook her head, "Siqing, it's not that I don't want to help you, but what we're doing is wrong."
"Heh heh, now even you're unwilling to help me? Do you have your eyes on Chen Jie and want to be his mistress?" Yang Siqing said coldly.
"That's not it!" Zhang Xinyan was anxious.
"Then why won't you join forces with me to deal with Chen Jie? I've investigated clearly. The reason Chen Jie successively destroyed the Zhou, Ye, and Su families was because those three families wanted Chen Jie's life. Chen Jie is not someone who kills innocent people indiscriminately."
"So if we force Chen Jie to submit commercially, Chen Jie won't deal with us using his martial arts! We have a chance to win. As long as he submits, we will get a large sum of benefits! It's far more than the twenty billion from breaking off the engagement!"
Yang Siqing analyzed.
Zhang Xinyan stared at Yang Siqing blankly.
She had to admire Yang Siqing's meticulous planning. But was it right to try and snatch something that didn't belong to her?
And she knew that Chen Jie was not someone who killed innocents indiscriminately, yet she still used this fact to provoke him! This was truly a bit excessive.
"Siqing, you're tired. Let's go back to sleep. I'll stay at your house tonight with you until your dad returns."
Zhang Xinyan didn't want to continue this topic and could only say this.
"Heh heh, I know your Zhang family is in crisis and needs to cooperate closely with us. If you don't cooperate with me this time, then we'll talk about our cooperation later."
Yang Siqing's words made Zhang Xinyan's heart turn cold.
...
"Boss, are you there?" The next morning, Chen Jie received a call from He Yufei.
In the phone call, He Yufei's voice was very gentle, as if she was afraid of disturbing Chen Jie's rest.
"He Yufei, what's wrong?" Chen Jie asked, listening to the sweet voice on the phone.
"Our company officially starts operations today, so we'd like to invite you to the company to take a look and have a meeting."
"Alright, I don't have anything else to do today. I'll go take a look."
Chen Jie thought to himself, since his company was established, he should indeed show his face, otherwise it would be illogical.
With that in mind, he got up immediately.
When he got into the car, he realized he didn't even know where the company was.
He couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was probably the first boss in Pingcheng who didn't even know where his own company was.
After asking He Yufei for the company's address, as soon as he reached the entrance, Chen Jie was shocked by what he saw at the gate.
