Chapter 123
Ye Junwen had just received the heart-shaped pink diamond necklace he previously had custom-made at the D Family, and was sitting at his desk slowly admiring it, wondering when he could personally put it around Mengmeng's neck.
Lin Yijun came out of the CEO's office and approached Ye Junwen, softly saying, "Assistant Ye, Mr. Ye wants you to go to his office for a moment."
Ye Junwen immediately put the necklace back into the velvet box, locked it in the drawer, and calmly said, "I understand."
He stood up, straightened his suit, and headed towards the office.
"Knock, knock, knock." Ye Junwen raised his hand and knocked on the door, and Ye Junli's voice immediately came from inside.
"Come in."
"Brother, what did you need me for?" Ye Junwen pushed open the door to see Ye Junli sitting behind the desk reviewing documents.
Ye Junli didn't even look up, simply uttering one word, "Sit."
Ye Junwen casually took a seat in front of the desk.
"Did you handle this document?"
Ye Junli handed over the document in his hand, and Ye Junwen took it, gave it a cursory glance, and nodded, "Yes, I handled it. Is there a problem, brother?"
Ye Junli sighed helplessly, "You've been an assistant for half a month now. Assistant Lin has been teaching you step-by-step, but now you can't even handle the most basic documents properly. Look at it yourself, it's full of problems!"
If he couldn't even handle such a simple task, how could he expect to control the company? In a few years, he'd fail even faster than Xiao's Company!
Ye Junwen's hand holding the document paused for a moment. He flipped through a few pages and found that Ye Junli had already marked several problems.
This... How did he not notice these when he was handling it?
"Well, brother, I wasn't paying attention. I'll take it out and correct it right away." With that, he didn't even wait for Ye Junli's approval and simply walked out the door.
At that moment, the phone on Ye Junli's desk rang. It was the front desk downstairs.
"Mr. Ye, the police are here. They said it's about the car accident case and they need Mr. Ye Junwen to cooperate with the investigation."
Upon hearing this, Ye Junli pursed his lips, his voice cold and grim, "I understand. Let them up."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Junli looked at the closed office door, his brow furrowed ominously, "Finally, they've found evidence, it seems."
Ye Junwen was sitting at his desk, staring blankly at the document he had just taken out, lost in thought. Was he really that useless?
While he was still spacing out, Ye Junwen felt himself surrounded by an overwhelming pressure. Looking up, he saw Policeman Shi standing in front of his desk, staring at him sternly.
Ye Junwen's heart skipped a beat, a sense of foreboding washing over him.
"Mr. Ye Junwen, we've recently uncovered new evidence related to Mr. Ye Jinchen's car accident case, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."
With that, he gave Li a signal, and Li nodded, stepped forward, and handcuffed the still uncomprehending Ye Junwen.
The cold touch of the handcuffs against Ye Junwen's wrists made him shudder, and his frozen brain finally registered what was happening.
Ye Junwen, uncharacteristically losing his usual composure in the face of this sudden turn of events, exclaimed in panic, "What are you doing? I haven't done anything! What grounds do you have to put me in handcuffs? Do you believe I'll file a complaint against you!"
Policeman Shi remained unruffled, "Mr. Ye, there is evidence showing you are directly involved in this case. We have the authority to do this. Please cooperate with our investigation. Take him away!"
Ye Junwen struggled, turning his head to see Ye Junli standing at the office door.
Seemingly seeing a ray of hope, he immediately called out, "Brother, brother, please help me! I haven't done anything!"
But contrary to Ye Junwen's expectations, Ye Junli did not speak up for him. Instead, he looked at him coldly and said, "Since you haven't done anything, there's no need to be so nervous. The police wouldn't accuse you for no reason.
It's just to cooperate with the investigation. As long as you're innocent, you'll be released soon, just like last time."
Ye Junwen felt a chill. Did his brother know something? Why was he looking at him so coldly?
Li and Zhao took the opportunity to escort him towards the elevator, with Policeman Shi nodding at Ye Junli before following them out.
Ye Junli watched their retreating figures, his body swaying slightly, leaning against the wall behind him to steady himself.
Closing his eyes in disappointment, he returned to his office.
Outside, the other employees were stunned by the scene, whispering to each other about the intrigues of the wealthy.
Lin Yijun didn't expect that little Master Ye's car accident could be related to his uncle. Her feelings were inexplicably complex.
Hearing the discussions around her, she slammed her hand on the desk and shouted, "Are you all idling? Do you need me to find work for you?"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately lowered their heads and hurried back to their tasks.
On the way, Ye Junwen kept wondering what evidence the police had found to be able to handcuff him without hesitation. He tried to think of a way to shift the blame.
However, when he arrived at the police station and saw the audio file presented by Policeman Shi, he suddenly realized that this time, it might not be so easy to escape.
After all, even if he claimed the recording was fake, they had already conducted a voice analysis and confirmed it was his voice. Even if someone tried to mimic him, it would be impossible to mimic every word perfectly.
But Ye Junwen was unwilling to accept this outcome after all his efforts. He had come 99 steps of the way, with just the last gasp remaining. If he ended up in prison, it would be a complete loss!
"What is your relationship with Zhen Kechuan? Why did you use Zhen Kechuan's phone card to contact Xiao Jianren?"
Ye Junwen just sat there, refusing to speak no matter how the police questioned him. Policeman Shi didn't mind, simply saying, "Whether you confess or not, the evidence is there, and it's enough to convict you."
Ye Junwen sat there with his eyes closed, still not saying a word.
"If you tell us everything, you might still be shown leniency. Don't you want to consider that?"
Ye Junwen: I don't want to consider! Don't listen to the Buddha's preaching, I'll respond with a sentence to admit defeat!
Policeman Shi: "Fine, if you don't want to talk, we'll just wait. We have plenty of time to keep you company."
...
At noon, Ye Junli returned to the Ye Family Villa.
Ever since Ye Jinchen's car accident, the Ye family elders had been staying at the villa for convenience, instead of returning to the old residence.
Ye Junli informed the old master about Ye Jinwen being taken away by the police. Unexpectedly, the old master's expression showed neither shock nor disappointment.
He simply said flatly, "I knew this day would come. He did something wrong, and he should properly face legal judgment."
The old master waved his hand, signaling for Ye Junli to leave.
Alone in the study, the old master sat with tears streaming down his face.
"A son's misconduct reflects a father's failure to teach. It is my fault as a father for not teaching him properly!"
