After Su Qinghe finished speaking, she took Jiang Che's hand and walked past Ye Yunjin.

They had barely stepped half a step onto the threshold when a furious shout came from behind them: "Stop!"

"Why? I'm asking you, why can Jiang Che do it, and the Jiang family can do it, but I can't?"

Ye Yunjin, enraged, pointed at Jiang Che's nose and demanded, "How long has he known you? And how many years has the Jiang family been with you?"

"You can move into the Jiang family, you can trust Jiang Dahai and his son, and you can entrust your future to Jiang Che, so why can't you give your biological mother a chance?"

Su Qinghe turned around to face Ye Yunjin again: "Because Jiang Che has always given me choices."

"When I went blind, he took me home and told me I could stay as long as I wanted."

"Even if I wanted to leave, he would have taken me to a safe place, instead of imprisoning me like you have."

"He never asked me how I could repay him. Later, when I was getting treatment for my eyes, going to school, participating in competitions, or working on projects, he would accompany me on any path I was willing to take."

Su Qinghe looked coldly at Ye Yunjin, a mocking smile playing on her lips: "And what about you? The first time you met me, you had me forcibly taken to the manor and imprisoned."

"He said he wanted to make it up to me, and all he talked about was going back to the Ye family. He said he would respect me, but then he turned around and had someone investigate my life."

"The love you give always comes with conditions. If I agree to you, I am your daughter; if I refuse you, I will pay the price."

"Jiang Che never asked me to become anyone, nor did he use love as a door to shut me out. But from the first day we met, all you wanted to do was bring me back to the Ye family and make me a necessary tool for you to seize power from the Ye family."

"As for whether I'm willing or not, you've never asked."

Ye Yunjin opened her mouth, but had nothing to say. Her hand, which was supporting her on the door frame, slid down half an inch uncontrollably.

After a long silence, she spoke again: "You don't understand now, but you'll understand when you truly enter the Ye family. What I've protected for you is something others could never obtain even in a lifetime."

"At the family meeting next month, I will announce in front of everyone that you are my daughter and the sole heir of the Ye family."

"Whether you go or not, I will still issue the announcement as usual, and no one can object."

Su Qinghe didn't argue further, only replying, "That was your meeting, it has nothing to do with me."

"Qinghe, you have the blood of the Ye family flowing in your veins. You cannot pretend this did not happen."

Ye Yunjin panicked and quickly stepped forward to grab Su Qinghe's shoulder.

Jiang Che sidestepped Su Qinghe, blocking her from the doorway, and coldly warned her with a blank expression, "President Ye, I advise you not to make any rash moves. If you hurt even a hair on my girlfriend's head, we'll see you in court."

"You can issue a public announcement, that's your choice, but you have no right to tell Qinghe what to do."

"If you repent and turn back from your wrong path, I, Jiang Che, can treat you as my mother-in-law in name only. Our two families will then treat each other with respect, and nothing will happen."

"But if you insist on doing so, then I'm sorry, our legal department in Jiang Sheng is known as the 'Beijing Pizza Hut'."

Ye Yunjin was unmoved by Jiang Che's words: "It's none of your business, an outsider, how we, mother and daughter, can interfere."

"It seems that Mr. Ye has chosen the latter."

Jiang Che shrugged, stopped the pointless argument, and led Su Qinghe out of the west wing.

As the two passed through the main courtyard and were about to reach the moon gate, they suddenly heard the sound of a car door closing outside.

Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw a woman walking in carrying a laptop bag.

This person was Wang Lihua, Ye Yunjin's assistant.

She hadn't come here to find Ye Yunjin. Upon seeing Jiang Che and Su Qinghe, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked to the stone table in the courtyard.

He then took out a silver-gray portable hard drive, an old cell phone, and a stack of bound documents from his bag and placed them one by one on the table.

"Young Master Jiang, Miss Su, I would like to give you some materials."

Ye Yunjin happened to chase after Wang Lihua from the west wing at that moment, and immediately sensed something was wrong when she saw her.

"Wang Lihua, what are you doing here?"

Wang Lihua glanced at Ye Yunjin, chose to ignore her, and turned her gaze back to Jiang Che.

"I originally intended to speak with Young Master Jiang and Miss Su privately down the mountain, but the matter is rather urgent, so I came up here to find you both."

Jiang Che asked calmly, "What do you want to talk about?"

"I... want to leave myself a way out."

After Wang Lihua finished speaking, she unlocked the old phone, opened the relevant recording materials, and then pushed the phone next to the external hard drive.

The materials on the stone table are divided into six volumes according to the year, with numbers affixed to the covers. The duration of each recording and the relevant personnel are also listed in a table.

She had made preparations for the handover long before she came to the old house.

Jiang Che didn't touch anything on the table, but simply gestured with his chin towards the phone.

"You're planning to use these things as a backup plan? What are these things?"

"These are all strong, direct pieces of evidence that can help you bring down Ye Yunjin."

"I don't ask Jiang Shaobao to protect me, nor do I ask Miss Su for forgiveness. I only ask that when the materials are handed over to the police, you can clearly tell the police about my voluntary cooperation today."

"Wang Lihua, I advise you to think carefully before you speak," Ye Yunjin threatened through gritted teeth.

Wang Lihua didn't turn around: "What is there that I can't understand? Ding Siyu has already implicated me in the live broadcast, and the investigation team from Peking University has also obtained the printing shop's surveillance footage, the MCN contract, the payment account, and the whistleblower letter, all of which have my name on them."

"You can explain everything away as your assistant acting on their own initiative, then just walk away, but what about me?"

"Liu Wei is in jail, and Jiang Dahe is also under investigation. I'm afraid of Young Master Jiang's methods."

"If this drags on any longer, I won't even have the chance to confess."

After saying this, Wang Lihua clicked on the first recording, and Ye Yunjin's voice came from the old phone.

"The sentiment on the forum isn't strong enough. Find a student from Peking University and say she's posing with a cat. Get the public's emotions stirred up first."

"If Ding Siyu can't hold on, let her cry. Don't explain too much during the live stream; too much explanation can easily lead to mistakes."

Ye Yunjin's pupils shrank sharply: "Turn it off!"

Wang Lihua did not press pause, and her finger moved to the second paragraph.

"First, send an anonymous letter to the Challenge Cup side with a budget of 500,000. If Song Mingxuan is willing to leave, give him a signing fee of 200,000. If he doesn't leave, then turn the attention to Jiang Che."

"As soon as the project stops, Su Qinghe will naturally come to me."

Ye Yunjin walked over furiously and slammed her hand hard on the edge of the stone table, knocking the top document half an inch off balance.

"That's enough!"

Wang Lihua finally managed to stop the recording.

"You actually dared to record all of this? Wang Lihua, you have some nerve!"

"Not only that, I also kept copies of everything you told me over the private phone."

Wang Lihua handed the portable hard drive to Jiang Che. "I divided the files on the hard drive into four directories. The first is the shareholding and payment chain of the MCN company. The second is the script for public opinion against Ms. Su, the secretly filmed videos and the itinerary summary. The third is the Challenge Cup project. The fourth is the contract and recording of the transfer of Ye's assets to overseas companies."

"As for the Jiang Sheng project, Ye Yunjin's dealings with Jiang Dahe, the beneficiary arrangements of Yingheng Capital, and the list of people sent to contact Jiang Sheng's middle management are all included in it."
