Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb

It's one o'clock in the morning.

Buzzing... Buzzing...

The phone on the sofa was still vibrating tirelessly.

Chen Ye's mind was still stuck on the pyramid made of Aces of Spades in his dream.

He grabbed his phone in frustration, and without even looking at it, swiped to answer the call.

Who is it?

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, a delicate voice, tinged with a hint of grievance, rang out.

"Why...didn't you come?"

It was Jiang Yuyan's phone call.

Chen Ye's drunkenness and drowsiness instantly vanished.

He sat up abruptly, a chill running down his back.

[We forgot about that!]

Yesterday she said, "See you at the usual place at 8 pm."

I was so busy checking my bank card balance.

He went to eat some French cuisine again, and ended up getting completely drunk at a roadside stall.

They had long forgotten about this crucial agreement.

"I……"

Chen Ye's mind raced as he tried to find a plausible excuse.

"I was a bit busy today, had too much to do, and forgot."

He stammered, his words sounding unconvincing even to himself.

Jiang Yuyan on the other end of the phone fell silent again.

This silence was like the calm before the storm.

really.

The next second, her sweet voice instantly turned hard and sharp.

"Forgot?"

"Chen Ye, you think you can just dismiss me with a simple 'I forgot'?"

I turned down an important art exhibition for you.

Someone waited for you all night like a fool!

"Is this how you treat me? Is this how you treat me without caring about me at all?"

Her questions came like a barrage of bullets, leaving Chen Ye dizzy and disoriented.

Chen Ye initially tried to brush it off gently.

After all, this woman was Su Qingying's best friend.

The relationship is too sensitive; it's best to avoid provoking them if possible.

"Yu Yan, don't be angry, I really didn't mean to, I..."

"Don't call me Yu Yan!"

Jiang Yuyan interrupted him directly.

"That's what you call me every time you try to brush me off!"

"Chen Ye, do you think I'm easy to bully?!"

Chen Ye's good temper was also exhausted.

A surge of anger rose from the depths of his heart.

[Damn it, is this never going to end?]

I'm single now! Divorced! I'm not afraid of you!

Even if you weren't divorced, you're still Su Qingying's best friend. Why didn't you think about that when you got together with the original owner of this body?

Besides, I'm not some bastard who hasn't laid a finger on you from beginning to end. What are you putting on airs with me for?

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's tone instantly hardened.

"Yes, I just forgot."

He spoke coldly, each word uttered slowly and deliberately.

"I'm too tired today to argue with you."

"If you feel wronged, then our relationship ends here."

After saying that, he didn't even want to hear the other person's reaction anymore and prepared to hang up the phone.

Silence fell once again on the other end of the phone.

Chen Ye sneered inwardly.

Are you angry? Are you ending the relationship?

That's wonderful!

Liu Huan, Qin Kexin, and that resentful young girl at the front desk...

He already has enough enemies around him; every one less is a blessing.

Just when he thought the farce was about to end.

On the other end of the phone, however, came a suppressed, faint sob.

Followed by.

Jiang Yuyan's voice became incredibly weak, trembling slightly.

"I'm...I'm sorry..."

【? ? ? 】

Chen Ye's fingers, which were about to hang up the phone, froze in mid-air.

"I shouldn't... I shouldn't have questioned you..."

Jiang Yuyan's voice was sweet and ingratiating.

"I was wrong... Please don't be angry... Please..."

Chen Ye was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on?

Even Sichuan opera face-changing isn't this fast, is it?

"I'm tired, let's talk about it tomorrow."

He replied coldly, wanting to end the call as quickly as possible.

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Yu mumbled three words in a humble and submissive manner.

"Yes... Master."

Chen Ye's brain buzzed.

He felt there was something wrong with his ears.

What did he hear?

Owner?

"Click."

The call was disconnected.

Chen Ye sat blankly on the sofa, holding his phone, without moving for a long time.

Those three words, like a demonic chant, kept looping endlessly in his mind.

Yes... Master.

【Hold!】

Is she involved in that circle?

An utterly absurd thought exploded in his mind.

He recalled the words Jiang Yuyan had whispered in his ear in the apartment.

And then consider her drastic change in attitude just now...

Chen Ye understood instantly.

The original owner of this body, that bastard, wasn't playing an ordinary game with this fairy.

Instead... it's even more exciting.

And I am that "master".

Rich people, they really know how to have fun!

Chen Ye thought of Jiang Yuyan's alluring face again.

That voluptuous figure, that alluring charm emanating from her entire body.

A surge of anger rose uncontrollably from his lower abdomen.

Damn, this is getting exciting...

After thinking about it, he fell asleep.

the next day.

Chen Ye arrived at the law firm feeling refreshed.

As soon as he entered the office, Qin Kexin followed him in.

"Attorney Chen, I've already made arrangements for the public welfare department."

Li Zhe and his team are currently sifting through the entire internet for suitable cases.

"In addition, the law firm's official website received a legal consultation request last night."

"I think it might meet our requirements."

Chen Ye's eyes lit up.

So you've already got a job?

Tell me about it.

Qin Kexin placed a printed document on his desk.

"The person who consulted was named Zhang Wei, and he was a food delivery driver."

Upon hearing the words "delivery driver," Chen Ye paused for a moment.

Qin Kexin remained oblivious and continued her report.

Three months ago, Zhang Wei was seriously injured when he was hit by a private car while delivering food.

He suffered a comminuted fracture of his left leg and is currently still in the hospital.

"The traffic police determined that the private car owner was fully responsible."

However, the car owner was unemployed and the car did not have commercial insurance.

He has no assets and is completely unable to pay the enormous medical expenses.

Chen Ye frowned.

Didn't he apply for workers' compensation?

"That's where the problem lies."

Qin Kexin's expression also turned serious.

"The food delivery platform where Zhang Wei works presented a labor subcontracting agreement."

They claimed that their relationship with the riders was merely a "cooperative relationship," not an employment relationship.

"His employment contract was signed with a third-party labor service company."

"And that labor service company made excuses for not doing so."

They refuse to recognize the injury as a work-related injury and will not bear any liability for compensation.

"Zhang Wei hired a lawyer with legal aid and fought the first instance case, but lost."

"The court held that there was no direct employment relationship between the platform and the riders."

"Now he faces high costs for subsequent surgery and rehabilitation."

"Having exhausted all other options, I saw a message from our public interest department on our law firm's homepage."

Silence fell over the office.

After Qin Kexin finished speaking, she stood quietly to the side, waiting for Chen Ye's decision.

This case is very typical, but also very tricky.

Having already lost the first instance, overturning the verdict in the second instance is virtually impossible.

Moreover, there's practically no money to be made in this case.

Chen Ye remained silent.

He simply looked at the document quietly.

"Delivery driver".

"Labor subcontracting".

"Cooperative relationship".

"No way to appeal."

Every word was like a needle, piercing his heart.

He remembered his past life, wearing that rider's uniform, braving the wind and rain.

For an order that was late, I had to bow and scrape to apologize to the customer.

I lost my entire day's food allowance because of a bad review.

He was all too familiar with that feeling of powerlessness, being completely controlled by the platform and its rules.

He thought about it back then too.

What would happen if something happened to me?

Will the platform take action?

Will the company compensate me?

He dared not think.

Now, a vivid, bloody example is right in front of him.

Qin Kexin looked at Chen Ye and noticed that something was wrong with him.

The man's expression turned icy cold and completely unfamiliar.

It was an anger that came from the very core of one's being.

Chen Ye slowly raised his head.

"Tell Li Zhe and the others to stop what they're doing."

"We'll take this case."
